Chapter 424: Powder to the depths of natural black
The alliance completely shrank the forces located in the Burning Plains, and it was clear that they wanted to rely on the strong fortifications to bleed the tribes, without having to tease face-to-face, making a begging appearance, and the thief called out twice "You come to fight me".
However, Ogrim. What kind of man is the Hammer of Destruction?
Defender of Frostfire Ridge, Slayer of Ogres, Patron of the Fire Elemental, Bearer of the Hammer of Doom, Grand Chief of the Orc Tribe, Hope of Northrend.
If you tell me to beat you, then I'll really come.
In a very unreasonable posture, in the orderly retreat of the humans, the orcs pursued unreasonably.
So, after the panic passed, the sturdy bunker tower taught the orcs what the art of war was, and what a tower defense game was.
"What do the orcs want? This style of combat looks heroic and fearless, but it doesn't work for eggs, haha, the battle damage exchange ratio of one to one to seven, we are one, and the orcs are one to seven, which makes me feel ridiculous. If the Orcs in Hillbride had fought like this, where would we have died so many brothers and comrades? ”
When it was slightly dark, Tulayan contained the last retreating troops, and at the same time, the clerk also counted the day's combat report, looking at the exaggerated battle loss ratio, Tulayan was a little relieved in doubt.
The orc's individual combat ability is stronger than that of humans, even if they are official members of the Silver Hand, no one dares to boast that they will definitely win against the orcs in Haikou, so on the battlefield, unless the alliance side's strategy succeeds, it is difficult to have a one-to-one battle loss ratio. The warriors of the alliance have always traded their lives for orcs.
But in the several battles today, because of the strict orders of Marshal Lothar, all the peripheral troops retreated to the large battalions, and there was a lot of confusion in the actual command of the alliance. However, even in such an unfavorable state, the soldiers of the alliance have played a very good battle loss ratio, is it the clerk or the junior officer data fraud?
Tulayan thinks it shouldn't be.
Because today's orc tribes are super sick in the brain!
Without an explosive bag or a trebuchet, he dared to storm the watchtower with an axe and a spear, and he really didn't treat the Union soldiers as human beings.
In order to cope with the retreat of the troops who had been scattered too far, Tulayan and his companions traveled more than 200 miles in one day and participated in seven battles.
So Tulayan believes that the registrar did not falsify the data.
Removing the blood-stained cuirass and wiping his face casually, Tulayan did not even change his chain mail crotch guard and steel riding boots, and hurriedly dared to report to Lothar.
Still rewarded with a glass of cold wine, Lothar smiled at Tulayan and said, "There's nothing strange about it, the great chief of the tribe is the toughest opponent I've ever met. So there must be a special reason behind any unusual behavior of the orcs. ”
"So what are they sending to their deaths today?"
Tulayan asked, puzzled.
"Because of the lack of information, I guess based on my personal experience, and there are two biggest possibilities. First, the orcs were in internal purge, and those who were sent to their deaths were the political opponents of the great chieftain of the tribe. The second is that the orcs have a reason to do so. ”
Lothar shrugged her shoulders indifferently and ended her speech with this gesture.
"So what is the reason why the orcs have to do this? I don't really understand. ”
Tulayan asked, curious.
"I don't know."
Lothar replied honestly.
"Uh......"
"As a general, you have to figure out your opponent's psychology and look for their gaps, so that you can deal your opponent with the heaviest blows and win. However, never make excuses for your opponents. What he does is his business, what affects you is only the matter itself, don't speculate when the intelligence is insufficient, that's a stupid thing. For example, in today's battle, what if it was just those orcs who were suffocated and wanted to fight, but their blood was overheated and their brains burned? You still have to study whether something has happened to the upper echelons of the tribe for a long time? It's stupid and stupid to confront the air, don't turn yourself into the kind of idiot who thinks too much. ”
Lothar said meaningfully.
"You can see it."
"Of course, I brought it out."
"I'm worried about Carlos, they're worried about you."
"Oh?"
Lothar suddenly became interested, sat down and took a comfortable position, and gave his speech to Layan.
"Water source. The biggest obstacle to our march into the Burning Plains is water. There are no surface rivers at all in this damn place, only large and small water holes and pressure fountains, most of which are still undrinkable. The cost of transporting water from the rear to the front line is too high, so the scramble for the area actually occupied by the burning plain is the scramble for water. For your order to shrink the defensive line, from a tactical point of view, I am in favor, every time we retreat a step, the orcs have to take an extra step, they also have logistical pressure, this exchange is not a loss. But judging by the long fighting, I don't think there is any great military value in this contraction. There are not only 50,000 orcs who came this time, but our alliance is more than the current 30,000. In fact, I personally prefer the tactics of blocking the enemy layer by layer, dividing the army to advance, and using the stronghold to carry out repeated encirclement and surprise attacks, which may be more effective. ”
"It's a wonderful analysis, so you don't believe Carlos' prophecy about the end of the fire demon king?"
The curvature of the corners of Lothar's mouth had a sharp taste.
"You promise not to tell Carlos that I said it?"
"I promise."
Tulayan walked over to Lothar's chair and crouched down, then whispered in Lothar's ear, "I think Dalaran and Quel'Thalas are responsible. ”
"Hahaha, you bastard."
Lothar smiled happily.
"I don't think Carlos did anything wrong, the warnings of the Light cannot be ignored, but the orc tribes are our immediate threat. There's nothing we can do about the Fire Demon King, so we can only do our best at fighting orcs. ”
"Okay, you haven't eaten yet, hurry up and eat something to rest and rest, next, I'm afraid there will be a tough battle to fight."
"Yes, Marshal!"
Sending Tulayan away, Lothar made herself a rare glass of cold liquor out of a magic suitcase, and drank it all down.
Tulayan is very good, but too young.
When Carlos first announced that the Lord of the Fire Demon was about to return, Lothar didn't care.
But as Carlos prepares for the return of the Firelord, Lothar can't help but care.
This proves that Carlos has not lost his mind, and when a powerful paladin, the king of a kingdom, does something with an almost martyrdom posture, what reason do you have to turn a blind eye.
Lothar took out her pocket watch and looked at it, sighing silently.
This damn war......
