Chapter 316: This wave of pretense forces me to give you eighty-two points
In his last life, Carlos was also a lover of web novels.
When I watched it back then, it was a pleasure, it didn't matter if it was reasonable or not, just look happy.
However, when it was my turn to wear it, I realized that reading books indiscriminately would kill people.
What modern industrial system, what firearms open the way to civilization and crush, it seems that if you don't play the industrial revolution, you will be eliminated by history.
Although there is nothing wrong with that, it is also very refreshing to do so.
But the concubine can't do it......
The assembly line is a part of industrialization, but industrialization is definitely not a simple assembly line.
Not to mention the mass production of aircraft cannons, the Lordaeron countries could not even produce armor on a large scale.
Leaving aside the topic of industrialization, just talking about industrialization is a long-standing and difficult problem.
Carlos has worked hard to build a steel city, and the annual output of steel is expected to reach 700,000 tons.
Isn't it amazing?
Comparing the world of Azeroth with other racial nations of the same period, that's really powerful.
Is it really amazing?
In actual production and life, it is like throwing a pebble into the endless sea, and it can't make a splash.
On the planet called Blue Star in the other world, there is a country called Huajia, and the annual output of steel in a city is 680,000 tons.
Technology is useless if you dare to use it, others will dare to imitate it. One of the biggest military innovations since Carlos came to power was the widespread use of the cutting technique of bow and arrow shafts in the royal weapons workshop in Alterac.
This is also the biggest reason why Carlos dares to rain arrows at every turn.
But look at the orcs of other tribes, and then look at yourself, why is the gap between orcs and humans so big.
Without waiting for Magni's signal, Carlos made a detour, staggered the reconnoiter route of the wolf cavalry, and turned directly to the flank of Karanos.
Karanos is an important town built by the dwarves in the plains at the foot of Ironforge Mountain. The status and role are the same as those in Shining Gold outside of Stormwind.
But by this time, Karanos had already been burned in the previous battles.
Standing on the rocks, Carlos observed the tribe's trebuchet troops from a distance, bypassing the small tribal garrison lurking in the ruins, and expressed a genuine feeling that Stormwind had not been unjustly lost.
Trebuchets, or full-fledged trebuchets, are generally divided into two types.
The first is a torsion trebuchet. This is often referred to as a catapult. The firing principle of this trebuchet is to use torque springs and other means to pull down the throwing handle attached to the transverse axis, and after releasing the caliper, the projectile is launched.
The advantages of the torsion trebuchet are that it is relatively small in size, easy to move, and has relatively high shooting accuracy, so it is a very good small and medium-sized engineering weapon, and can also be used as a medium-range fire suppression weapon.
The disadvantage is that the level of industrialization of the orcs is not good, and they can't make steel twist shafts. Most of the torsion springs are still animal tendons, which have large losses, short ranges, and are not easy to maintain.
The other is the legendary siege artifact, the counterweight lever trebuchet.
Take advantage of asymmetrical weight booms and throw arms, coupled with the adjustability of the weight box, and the relative ease of material component production. It can be called a model of indiscriminate bombardment.
In addition to the disadvantage of not being able to move after unfolding, the cumbersomeness of loading and retracting the throwing arm is a major problem that restricts the rate of fire of the counterweight lever trebuchet. However, the orcs themselves are strong. The unscientific species of ogres was also enslaved, which made the counterweight lever trebuchet, which had a rate of fire of three to five minutes in the hands of humans, become a terrifying killing machine with a rate of fire every three to five minutes.
The stone bullets in the sky suppressed the dwarves' advance, and the armor plates of the steam tank were bombarded by the half-ton stone projectiles, and if you eat two more, you can only deform and shatter, not to mention the fragile joints.
The mountain road is difficult. Snow-covered mountain roads are even more difficult.
Although the people of Alterac did not lack experience in walking in the snowy mountains, the march was still very long.
Carlos wanted to be part of the attack right now, but reason and experience told him that it would take at least half an hour to close the group.
"Admiral Dai Lin has made a great contribution."
Carlos suddenly sighed.
"Admiral, Dalin. Lord Prodmore? ”
Ymir asked for some reason.
"If you let the orcs of the tribe transport these things to Hilbride. If it weren't for the coalition navy desperately blocking the Horde's transportation lines, the consequences would be worrying. Although in the north, we won, but looking at the orcs in front of me, I suddenly felt that we won very lucky. ”
Carlos was touched by the tragic offensive and defensive battle in front of him and made his own comments.
"But we still won, Your Majesty. The ferocity of the enemy can only reflect our bravery, and under your leadership, we will win and will continue to win. ”
Ymir said in a firm tone.
Sycophants are good at it!
Carlos was happy to hear it, but he wasn't ready to take it.
An army of 3,000 men marched in, and the traces could not be stopped at all. Carlos' advantage now in stealth is to launch an offensive before the orc's wolf cavalry can scout on their way back.
Dwarven shells require manpower, materials, and time to cast, while tribal stone shells are much easier to collect.
If Carlos can't seize the opportunity to storm the orc's fortress and destroy the orc's weapons and equipment, then, even if Magni plays a good battle loss ratio head-on, strategically speaking, the alliance side will also lose. What's more, as the side that takes the initiative to attack, Magni's battle damage must not be small.
The devil knows when the orc reinforcements will arrive.
"Don't wait, gather the people, we're ready to go."
Although there were at least six hundred or so troops left unintegrated, Carlos was unwilling to wait any longer.
After the soldiers had determined their own commanders, they formed a slightly loose assault formation and followed their king into the spruce grove where the snow crushed the canopy.
On the battlefield, the more complex the order, the more difficult it is to carry out it, the more fierce the battle, and the more blank the brain.
Carlos's order was very simple - follow me.
Even a hero who is enough to go into an epic may be able to change the outcome of a battle on his own, but he cannot make the difference between victory and defeat in a war.
But the outcome of a war is inevitably determined by one battle after another.
Bypass the main road, the flank of the Horde Fortress. The orcs stuck a sharpened log the size of a bowl upside down into the ground and poured boiling water on the backfill. Such a fence is strong and trouble-free.
Although the orcs had detected through various traces that an unknown number of troops had infiltrated their defenses, Carlos did not want to reveal his movements until the last moment.
You can't use explosives like exploding arrows and explosives to violently demolish them, so you can only do them manually.
Carlos himself stepped into the field and walked to the stout log stake with a group of paladins with heavy weapons such as axes and sledgehammers.
Bursts of divine light flashed. The paladins wrapped a blessing, tightened the tendons and flesh of their bodies, kicked and smashed them, and forcibly used brute force to open a gap more than twenty meters wide.
"Quick, quick, keep up!"
The officers shouted at a low voice.
The larger soldiers jumped over the stubble of the wooden fence one by one, while the smaller ones struggled a little harder. The clever first threw the weapon, shield, backpack or something, passed lightly, and then picked up the equipment. Those who are not so clever need to be helped by their comrades who have passed first.
Although the scene is a little chaotic. The efficiency is not bad.
A gap that is not an obstacle for humans, but a bit of a struggle for dwarves. Carlos crossed the fence, reached out to Hemet, and with a great deal of force, pulled the dwarven officer over.
Intruding into the range of the orc's garrison, you must move quickly. Regardless of the previous arrangement, in groups of two hundred to three hundred, Carlos quickly divided his men into groups again. Then he was sent out, and he remained where he was, waiting for the cavalry to assemble.
Soon. The black smoke rose into the sky, and I don't know if it was an orc warning or the results of a human soldier.
"The scheduled assembly point is in the north-west direction. The cavalry can't be used as far as the infantry, find a way out, Hemet. ”
Carlos saw that the personnel were almost assembled, and gave the order to Hemmit.
"North, go north. Then to the west. This road can run horses. ”
Hemmit, as a native snake, did not disappoint Carlos, observed for a moment, and gave his own answer.
The men and horses moved and marched quickly for more than ten minutes. Carlos encounters the first orc fortress that is stuck at a dangerous junction.
"Damn, when did the orcs build a war fortress here?"
Hermit cursed anxiously.
"Soldiers, the outing is over, ready for battle!"
Carlos didn't blame Hemet in the slightest, because wars are always full of unforeseen circumstances.
Although they would love to travel some more distances in seclusion, the soldiers of Alterac are not afraid of battle.
The battle with the dwarves on the frontal battlefield involved a lot of energy from the orcs, so that the orcs in the rear were a little relaxed or nervous. Knowing that Carlos's troops had approached the orcs for a hundred paces, the sentinel sounded the alarm.
However, it was too late.
The rain of arrows mingled with bursting arrows crashed into the orc fortress like homing birds, and with a roar, the human soldiers took advantage of the first wave of confusion of the orcs to remove the horse-repellent stakes and obstacles, broke the deadbolt of the fortress gate, and dragged it open with ropes and hooks.
Then, there was a fierce fight.
The fortress is like a turtle shell covered in thorns, breaking through one layer of defense, and waiting for you is another layer of defense.
Despite having the upper hand, Carlos still paid nearly 200 casualties to clear the war fortress.
If it weren't for the repeated urging and the death order to attack, the casualties might have been less, but the time would have been more.
There was no time to take a detailed and detailed count of the names of the dead.
Leaving behind a small number of healthy soldiers and dwarven guides to help evacuate the wounded, Carlos led the rest of his men to the agreed assembly site quickly.
There, there are orc trebuchet positions.
The sun has shifted to the west.
Orc Overseers command the battle on the front lines.
It's not good, this time the dwarf's desire to attack was unexpectedly strong, and the Wujiu rampaged through the battlefield like a mad dog, as if it was protected by the gods, and was unscathed under the overwhelming stone bombardment. The dwarven hand-pushed artillery had advanced a full two hundred meters, and between the trenches, the orc soldiers and the dwarven commandos were in close combat, and on the plains, gunfire projectiles and bows and crossbows flew back and forth, outlining the scenes of war on the plains of Danmoro.
"Lord Overseer, there is an unknown number of troops attacking our fortress in the rear, it seems to be a human army!"
The herald panted for the Overseer on the battlefield, but before he could breathe a sigh of relief, a stray arrow struck the poor orc in the temple, and the dutiful orc soldier collapsed to the ground, his eyes losing their original brilliance.
Too late to lament the loss of life, the Overseer casually pointed to a soldier next to him and pulled out a token.
"Get the wolf cavalry moving."
Although hearing that the enemy was a human made the Orc Overseer's heart tighten, he said in a tone full of nonchalance and even disdain.
In the battle to destroy the kingdom of Stormwind, the tribe established a sense of superiority over the human race, and the soldiers did not take the small number of human troops in the rear too seriously, and many people believed that the defeat of the tribal army in the Northern Expedition was only due to high-level intrigue.
But the Overseers knew that Orgrim's talents were far superior to their own.
Suppressing their uneasiness, the Overseers continued to direct the battle against the dwarves.
As long as the dwarven attack is repulsed, everything is very promising.
Less than a kilometer away, the owner of Ironforge, the king of the Copperbeard Dwarves, Magni. Copperbeard observes the situation on the battlefield through a telescope.
The black-robed mage Leslin was left behind in Ironforge, and Sora took full advantage of my willfulness as a woman and followed him to the battlefield.
"Report, air force found fire and black smoke in the rear camp of the orcs."
Living in Ironforge, the relationship between the gnomes and the dwarves is very close, and the master craftsman directly handed over the command of the dwarf army to his friend Magni.
Hearing the report of the gnome officer, Magni was puzzled for a moment, and then knew in his heart that the King of Alterac had exhausted his patience and had made the first move.
"Sure enough, it's a trustworthy person."
Magni nodded, as if to say to the people around her, and as if to herself.
"Of course, how can the man I fancy be a general."
"Haha, Her Royal Highness the Princess laughed. His Majesty Carlos is doing such a righteous act, and I can't be petty. Prepare the Treasury Guards, how can the dwarf war allow the allies to bear the pressure for us. ”
With that, Magni put away his binoculars and ordered his herald to shoot three red flares into the sky.
And when Sora heard the word "princess", the whole person was fluttering.
Use diplomatic pressure to force Carlos to submit to that lump of wood, Sora, Sora, your wave of operations is worth eighty-two points, and the remaining eighteen points are simply six or six six.
The self-absorbed elves seem to want to go into battle with Magni to show off the "princess of Alterac", but are stopped by the officers of the Dwarven Guard at Ironforge.
"Distinguished guests, please watch the battle here, and then, please watch the pride of our copperbeard dwarves."
Bending down to watch the dwarf talking to herself, Sora was keenly aware of the anomaly.
"I'll go!"
The female elf looked behind her and couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth.
At the back of the line, Magni and the tallest of the dwarves were performing some kind of ritual, in which the dwarves were drugged, their heads swelled and their skin hardened like granite, and their original two-handed axes and war hammers were carried by the giant-turned dwarves with one hand.
When this group of dwarves, who were generally two meters and two meters away, walked into the battlefield with heavy steps, all the dwarves were greatly inspired, and they were like rainbows.
Stone slingshots were fired at the kings of the hill, granite skin rubbing against sparks to deflect orc attacks, leaving the dwarven warriors unscathed.
"Damn dwarven witchcraft, get the shamans ready, bloodthirsty witchcraft! I need bloodthirsty! ”
The Orc Overseers no longer had the energy to think about the situation in the rear, and the stonemen rushed up. (To be continued.) )
