Chapter 189: The Same Goal (3 more)
(Alliance leader Chu Jiayun plus more 810)
-------
Seeing that place, the eyes of all the big guys lit up, and then they were suspicious.
The southern continent where the Storm Kingdom is located has almost no place to land on the entire east side, and most of them are steep seaside cliffs with a height of more than two thousand meters. The one that can make a fuss about it is the western coast.
The place McDonald was referring to was the western coast of the [Wetlands] area on the other side of the strait, which was originally the territory of the Copperbeard Dwarves, and if a detachment of troops was sent to detour to this side, it would undoubtedly cut off the supply of the recalcitrant orc army in the Arathi Heights.
A rough estimate is that that's another 300,000 people.
Without supplies from the rear, they starved to death with just the little food they had.
If the warlike Warsong Clan and the Shattered Palm Clan can be completely wiped out, it will undoubtedly be a major benefit to the alliance.
The problem is that it is an area full of swamps, and outsiders enter and fall into the swamp and die in minutes.
"Over there, my caravan ran when it was a merchant. First of all, this is an excellent harbor that can be used as a deep-water port......" McDonald pointed to as the later rice port: "If you don't mind, I think Lordaeron will invest in the construction of the port independently, so I will name it [Minahill Port]." ”
Lao Taizi was so frightened that his heart stopped beating on the spot, and then his face was bright.
Historically, it was indeed a port built at the expense of Lordaeron, and thinking that it was given to the copperbeard dwarves, Lao Taizi was not necessarily so generous. A wooden dock that can accommodate three or four large boats is worthy of a short man.
Naturally, McDonald will not ask the royal family to pay.
Lao Taizi is still worried about this year's spring ploughing and territory restoration, where will he get the spare money.
Historically, the port is a typical shore-style wharf, which belongs to the full-hall branch inside, which is connected with the shore site along the entire length of the wharf, and its front and rear are easily connected and the loading and unloading capacity is large.
The disadvantage is that the number of ships that can be parked is too small.
Mai Tuhao made a move, it must be a big one.
"I'm going to make 32 approach bridges here and make them into approach docks. Even after the war, it is convenient for our northern continent to trade with the copperbeard dwarves......"
Before McDonald could finish speaking, he was stopped by Antonidas.
"Wait! It's not that I don't believe in the Stratholme family's wealth. But it's such a big project, and the orcs will let us finish it? ”
McDonald snapped his fingers, and behind him, the proud female ranger took a step forward, and the green cloak behind her was windless.
"First of all, we have the best Ranger unit in the world, the Windrangers. Without trolls to cover their flanks, those hulking orcs wouldn't have enough lives to fill the swamps of the wetlands. ”
Aurelia and her warriors' reputation for fighting has spread throughout the Alliance.
The majestic Aurelia gives everyone a strong confidence.
Antonidas nodded, the orcs with a large tonnage really can't play in the swamp with the elven rangers who are as light as a swallow. Now the Alliance knows that the orcs are even more backward than the Alliance.
The Alliance was able to send messages by magic before a few of the main cities, and even the Griffin Knight as a messenger. The orcs rely on their legs to convey their messages, and in many places they don't even have a wolf, so they rely on a pair of legs. If you can hunt all the orcs in a certain area, with the multi-chief communication system of the orcs, I really don't know if the information will arrive in the year of the monkey.
The just-concluded Battle of Quel'Salas is an example, and the main force of the orcs delayed for more than a month to learn about the crippled division of Warsong. This efficiency ...... Hey, you can take advantage of it!
In the high probability that Orgrim will take the remnants all the way from the east coast of the Eastern Kingdom continent to the south, at least to the place where the Swamp of Sorrow will land. There's a drama to watch.
At this point, McDonald threw out the second magic weapon.
"Then, our Sappers under the command of Stratholme are confident that within three days we will build a temporary dock that can accommodate 32 cruisers to moor at the same time and unload soldiers."
"Shhh
However, all professionals must go through long-term training, and even have a special market, or capital supply channel, to raise a group of people, so that there is a so-called skilled handicraft.
McDonald is crazy about playing tower defense, and it has finally paid off.
The engineering corps, trained by the sand sculpture players and with a total of 10,000 people, is the biggest weapon in this landing operation.
McDonaln himself showed a model of a temporary wharf – caissons. These heavy loads sink directly to the bottom of the harbor and serve as a base for the temporary docks. The caissons are equipped with steel pipes that can be adjusted side by side. Each pipe can also be joined or dismantled in sections to adjust the length.
When the sailors adjust the angle of the steel pipes, they can set up prefabricated iron plates on the water surface as temporary docks. It is not possible to unload heavy equipment, but it is okay to have personnel and supplies.
In the end, McDonald concluded: "In seven days, we can build a military port protected by a 30-foot wall!" In 30 days, we'll be able to defend it against the onslaught of the main orcs! ”
The big guys got excited.
With the newly built Minahir Port, it is equivalent to driving a nail in the chest of the other side.
This was a surprise enough, and the third move proposed by McDonald was the one that made Lothar's eyes shine.
"If we can stop the orc army from moving south in the wetlands, then the third step should be here!" McDonald pointed to the Wild West!
It used to provide a lot of food for Stormwind, but after the fall of Stormwind, these fields were also deserted.
Lothar and Bolval were so excited that they could barely control themselves, their pupils dilated, their necks reddened, and their nostrils snorted and snorted.
McDonald asked, "What happened to Grian Stallman's troops?" ”
Lothar replied, "Yes, the Wild West Volunteers have recaptured the town of Mooncreek, where they have found a huge underground cavern and are in the process of opening it up as a secret base for the Alliance. ”
Nonsense, Grian was able to find there, or was it hinted at by Mai someone through the sand sculpture player. It carries the memories of Mai's first nightmare in the game.
That's right, when I was a new McDondonal, I helped my dad practice the trumpet, and the first time I went to the dungeon was the [Death Mine] in Yuexi Town!
He was attacked by those patrols who did not speak martial arts and brushed out from the back road, and he was beaten up miserably.
And the Western Wilderness Volunteers are so powerful, of course, they have the credit of Mai someone.
Three thousand sets of fine iron armor, with the same number of crossbows and 300,000 crossbow arrows, against a third-rate clan entrenched there, if you can't win, there will be ghosts.
McDonald nodded: "When the port of Minethil is put into operation and the army has successfully landed, we will send a partial division to land in the western wilderness." ”
Compared to the rich and beach-filled Northern Continent, the Southern Continent has relatively troublesome terrain, with the exception of Stormwind City, which has been reduced to enemy-occupied territory, and the wetlands and the western wilderness can be landed.
Unbeknownst to McDonald, at this moment, on the ship heading for the South Parkway, Derek Proudmore decisively nailed a dagger in the same place.
"Great Chief, if you want to confront the Alliance across the sea, you must guard the wetlands and the Western Wilderness!"
