Chapter 127: The Achilles' Heel of the Nomadic Race
(Alliance leader gavemepower plus 620)
-------------
"Opportunity?" Abidis was unbelieving.
No matter how you look at it now, the orcs are still too powerful to be scored.
Three of the Seven Human Kingdoms were destroyed.
Fort Ironforge, Eagle's Nest, Gilneth and Dalaran have been besieged by orcs every day.
Judging from the message from the Griffin Knight, the city of Lordaeron is also about to be blocked.
I heard that the Duke of Tirisfa had gathered an army of 300,000 and was ready to fight to the death against the main force of the orc's war song (actually a partial division).
Give! It's a hard send!
It's not that Duke Tirisfa wants to play King Terenus to death, but no one wants to see their thousand-year-old territory turned upside down by orcs.
Rather than being turned into a dog, it's better to give it a go.
It's not that everyone's territory is like Mai's someone, and it becomes an iron bucket array when two openings are blocked.
In the great plains of Tirisfal Glade and Andohal, which are suitable for farming, they have enjoyed the millennium dividends brought by fertile soil, but they have not been armed, and now they deserve to be overturned by orc carts.
Now it seems that except for Kurtilas, who is lonely overseas, McDonald is the most comfortable here, but how long can it be held?
If all the other kingdoms are destroyed, only the Stratholme Territory will be left, and it will always be grinded to death, right?
McDonald glanced at the humanoid lazy dragon not far away who was still basking in the sun in a bandeau in the winter, and replied with a smile: "According to the current information, orcs do not hibernate. And he only likes to eat meat, the question is, how much meat is enough to feed two million orcs? ”
Abidis was stunned: "This, quite a lot." ”
Ever since Stratholme took up orc labor, humans have learned more about the habits of orcs.
Orcs are a nomadic race, and their entire body has evolved into carnivorous. The sharp fangs of their upper and lower palate are designed to tear the flesh and tendons of large carnivorous animals. Their intestines and stomachs, after dissection, were found to be quite short, with a total length of six or seven meters, which was evolved over thousands of years to adapt to the digestion of meat.
McDonald raised two fingers: "An orc laborer, although he can do a lot of heavy physical labor, but to maintain his physical strength, he must eat at least 10 catties of meat!" An orc warrior costs at least 30 pounds of meat! Where did the Eastern Kingdom Continent get so much meat for them to eat? ”
The food chain is always pyramid-shaped.
Carnivores are in the upper echelons, and the more powerful the carnivores, the fewer they must be.
With the same land resources, the herbivorous race, or farming race, can carry more people.
"Don't look at the orcs as if they are going to sweep across the entire Eastern Kingdom continent, they haven't been able to find enough food for all the orcs since the beginning of the invasion. Because the entire continent has basically been exploited by humans as arable land, growing wheat and other food crops that are most difficult for orcs to accept. With more arable land, there is less wild animals, and there is less large game to supply orcs to hunt. So since the start of the war, the orcs in general have not felt good at all. ”
Hearing this, Abidis was thoughtful.
After all, there are only a few people who raise pigs, cattle and horses, and most farmers are exhausted in order to feed their own litter of children.
Just that little livestock, how can there be enough for the orc army to eat.
McDonald continued: "They are like locusts, they eat wherever they go, they eat up one place, they migrate, they go on to attack the next, until there is no more food, and then they have to starve, starve to death on the way. Of course, their predator-laden racial nature allows them to keep their morale high forever. ”
You're starving, it's your food! You're damned!
You can't grab the food, it's your food! You're damned!
You can't occupy the hunting ground, it's your clan's dish, and you deserve to be wiped out!
When McDonald analyzed it step by step, Abidis and Seryrk and Rivinedell, who came to listen, all had a feeling of enlightenment.
McDonald's theory, also written in an analysis report, was delivered to Lothar and Terenus's desk.
All theories translate into strategies, which can be boiled down to eight words!
[The wall is clear, and the guard is strictly guarded]!
Originally, Lao Taizi was very unwilling in his heart, Luo Danlun, the first power of mankind, should respond to all the calls, lead all kingdoms, annihilate the main force of the orcs, and then chase and kill the orcs for 3,000 miles, and kill them all.
It's a pity that outside the city of Lordaeron, the tragic situation of 300,000 'army's ashes made Lao Taizi recognize the facts.
This army, formed by the nobility of traditional Lordaeron, was at least as large and equipped as Lordaeron.
For every 10,000 people, there are as many as 5,000 professional and semi-professional soldiers, and even the other half of the militia have undergone a month-long closed training. At least there is a good way to listen to orders and make spear thrusts en masse.
In addition to spears, the militia was armed with simple leather cuirasses and leather helmets.
Duke Tirisfa really didn't hack the money that Mai had donated, but everything was so fragile in front of the drugged army of greenskins on the other side.
The spear stabbed out and stabbed the opponent, and after these orcs could be pierced into hedgehogs, they still rushed up frantically, slashing with tomahawks, killing a few humans before hanging up.
Professional soldiers can't bear it, let alone brave peasant soldiers.
Almost as soon as the shield wall composed of the heavy infantry at the forefront was forcibly torn apart by the war song orcs with brute force, entering the chaotic battle stage.
At this point in time, no race is better at chaos than orcs.
The glorious Tirisfa battle banner was thus drowned in a sea of green.
In the vast land north of Lordaeron City, there are tragic scenes of human soldiers crying for their fathers and mothers, being chased by orcs riding wolves, or chopping to death, or directly letting wolves bite and eat them.
Lao Taizi finally realized-
It's just right!
Fortunately, in this life, Lao Taizi listened to McDonald's advice, and spent a lot of manpower and material resources to build a huge moat with a width of more than 50 meters in the north of Lordaeron City in advance, and the river water is connected to Lordane Mill Lake, so he is not worried about being cut off from the water source at all.
The whole city of Lordaeron is like an island in the middle of a lake.
Grom*Hellroar is modeled after Orgrim's tactics and has a large number of orc laborers carrying sandbags on their backs to fill the river, who knows that this trick is not good.
Regardless of how many laborers were killed by the rain of arrows on this beautiful white city, the sandbags that had been thrown into the river were suddenly washed away from nowhere, and it made Daddy Roar's head bigger.
Seeing that he was defending, Terenus was very considerate to ask the Griffon Knight to reply to McDonald's letter - you! It's our little hope, Sao Nian, don't be impulsive, don't rush out to send, our monarchs and ministers are waiting for the opportunity, come to a front and back attack to kill the orcs.
Mai, who is preparing to get to the end of the world: Meow meow? I made up the reason why so many tribes were short of food, that is, I planned to fight Guldan and kill the orcs, you would be better off, send me a legal royal decree to survive. Thank you so much!
It didn't take long for Howling Daddy to usher in Orgrim's main force. After defeating the two sides of the Andohar Barrier (the undead barrier in later generations), the orcs successfully joined forces.
But until the end of February, the orc army was in a situation where the rats and turtles could not start.
The shortage of food among the orcs is getting worse and worse, and it is the end of winter, and a large number of prey are hibernating, which is not suitable for hunting.
Unable to find prey, the orcs refused to eat the brown bread and rye that the human peasants hoarded for the winter.
After hearing that there is a country of long-eared elves in the northernmost part of the continent, the chiefs are excited!
Maybe that's the hunting ground they've always dreamed of?
How, though? The only overland access was blocked for McDonald.
So, at Gul'dan's suggestion, the magical Death Knight turned into a water ghost who did not need to breathe, and on a dark and windy night of the moon, attacked the Third Fleet of Kurtiras, which was staying less than two hundred meters on a coast in the northern part of the Lotirisfal Glade.
History has turned a corner here, King Dalin's eldest son smashed Prince Derrick, and instead of dying under the breath of the red dragon as in history, he died at the hands of the Death Knight, and even became a Death Knight himself......
