Chapter 164: Battle Plan (Third Watch)
"I've had some discussions with Benny about supplies. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" Kael'thas dot map. "We plan to build a solid portal at the gate of Queldore, which will be directly connected to Stratholme, which will make it much easier to send supplies and troops. ”
"Our material ----" Gavinrad has also considered the problem of portals, but there are quite a lot of magical materials needed to build a solid portal, and their magic material reserves have bottomed out.
"I'll solve this problem. "Kael'thas has asked the craftsmen and magicians to begin disassembling the magical equipment in stock, and he will do whatever it takes for Quel'Thalas!
"The problem of supplies is solved. Benny straightened up. "What else do you think? Sylvanas ----Commander?"
Sylvanas nodded, "We received a report yesterday that the air force at Ironforge had discovered an undead camp. It's near the gate of Quierdore. Sylvanas pointed to the map. "There's a lot of gargoyles and a web-breathing spider monster there, and the Ironforge Air Force lost three planes and had to fly out of the camp, and we don't know anything about its interior at the moment. I think they've noticed what happened to Stratholme and they've responded to it. It is supposed to be a gathering place for the undead. ”
"Any ideas?" Sylvanas was referring to the location of the Fortress of Dysom in his previous life, and the news had just come back yesterday.
"There is no good way to deal with them but to destroy them from the front. "It's just outside the range of naval artillery, and the limited number of air forces poses no threat to them.
"Can we just go by sea?"
The questioner was a colonel, Lawrence Kahn, a former colonel of the Lordaeron garrison, a hereditary nobleman, a knighthood, and no fief.
"First, our goal is to recover the entire Quel'Thalas region, and even if we spare it now, we will still face it in the future. Benny clicked on the map. "Second, if we want to spare them, we need to build a defensive line on the border of Quel'Salas to prevent the undead from crossing the line to attack us, but we don't have enough manpower, we now have a total of 450 combat groups, more than 10,000 people, half of them are newly formed, and they are still undergoing new tactical training, and the combat strength of the other troops is making them kill themselves in the face of these undead. "This is not a problem that can be solved by giving each person a 'hl musket', in the face of the undead, ordinary soldiers can only be cannon fodder.
"Understood. The colonel knocked on his chest, and the armor was about to be knocked out of a pit by him.
"Relax, we're talking. Benny smiled. "And I'm not negating your plans. ”
Everyone nodded, and Benny continued, "I see that you are not very enthusiastic, so I say, after you have finished speaking, everyone will give comments and additions. ”
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, they had never faced this situation before, the original battle was directly issued by the superiors, and they just carried it out.
"The current situation we have with these undead is probably the one we just mentioned. Benny circled the map with his hand. "The Quildore Gate is certainly the main place of battle, this place is surrounded by mountains on both sides, and the two sections of road near the gate are very narrow, which is very bad for us, and our cannons have just started to be produced, and it is impossible to produce too many cannons in the short term, so I don't think we can fight hard. Look here. Benny pointed to the map. "The Tower of the Far Traveler, there is a narrow shoal here, which is perfect for landing, so I think that a feint will be carried out at the gate of Quel'Thalas, and the other troops will secretly land here, and then go behind them and completely defeat them!" Benny straightened up and looked at the crowd. "There are two biggest problems with this plan, first, how to fight the feint, we must ensure that the undead are attracted here without more casualties! Second, our landing must not be detected by the undead, at least not before the landing. If you have any ideas, let's talk about them. ”
The crowd stared at the map, their minds replaying the plan Benny had mentioned.
"About landing----" The crowd looked up at Kael'thas. "We can use all of our mage troops to unleash a large invisibility spell. However, this may deplete all the mages' mental power, and they will not be able to participate in the next battle. ”
"But the mages are the liaison officers in the battle group, and without them, the tactical execution ability of the troops cannot be guaranteed!" a human major, Benny remembers that his name is Sarion, the former Silver Hand Paladin, and a minority civilian.
"No, the battle we are about to fight with the undead is a 'group battle', and the transfer of mages will not affect us much, I think this plan is feasible. Sylvanas looked at the crowd.
"What about the front? How many troops should we send to attack? You know, we lack heavy weapons, and our superiority in long-range firepower cannot be brought into play in that small area. ”
"Is it possible for the 'First Knights' to take care of the front? "This is the commander of the First Knights, Walter Kronberg, a former Captain of the Silver Hands, who is very unhappy with the fact that the 'First Knights' have been in a state of training.
"Without long-range firepower, can our air force occupy air supremacy on its own? You must know that there are a lot of gargoyles of those undead! And without air support, it is impossible for paladins to complete this task alone, who will deal with the heavy weapons of those undead?" said the captain of the Dragon Eagle Knights.
"We can use artillery to provide long-range fire support, not too much, but better than nothing. ”
"Where is the location of the Holy Light Cannons? The range of the Holy Light Cannons is up to 2 kilometers, and the Holy Light will dissipate after 2 kilometers, and their best killing range is 800 meters! But within 3 kilometers of the Quildore Gate, there are narrow mountain paths. There is simply no place for our artillery!"
"There's a valley here, up to 1 kilometer from the Quildore Gate, where we can secretly transport the cannons, such a big place is enough for us to drop 20 cannons and 100 musketeers!
"The Air Force can't all be sent to cover the artillery! we still need reconnaissance, and there are undead gargoyles to deal with!"
The crowd looked around the map, Benny and Kael'thas interjected occasionally, and the holes in the plan were found and filled one by one, and a detailed plan gradually took shape in such an argument. (To be continued.) )
