Chapter 1294: The Sound That Covers Everything Up
Lu Xi originally had no need to develop the war situation to the point where it is now. In fact, as long as the wolf cavalry began to charge, a single volley of guns was able to crush an enemy who had never seen such an attack before.
But what's the point? Two or three rounds of guns may be able to cripple the Storm Wolf Knight, who the Orcs are proud of, and even make the famous "Son of the Wind" Thor doubt his life. However, so what? The Khan of Ser Khan was also a well-known military leader of Orgrimmar, and although he was young, he also had a great reputation and was known for his quick decision. Such a commander, when he discovers that the rookie he imagines is actually a Godzilla disguised as a herbivore, even if he fights for a certain loss, he will definitely retreat on the spot.
Then, what will be the result? Thorl led an army that did not suffer much loss from the battlefield, and could even lose control of the Belka Hills and even the Temple of the Fallen Blades. However, his troops did not suffer much loss, and he was still able to maintain pressure on Lu Xi's army all the way, and he was also able to continue to attack and harass his own side. As the supply line became longer and longer, Lu Xi's march momentum would eventually become the end of the crossbow, and with an elite enemy army composed of tens of thousands of wolf horsemen on the side of the couch, he did not dare to divide his troops on the southern front to support Artoria on the line of the Mubohair River.
The end result will still be a protracted tug-of-war. But Lu Xi said that as the protagonist of the traverser, he really couldn't spend so much time with others in this great wasteland.
What's more, if it does evolve into an endless war of law and order and guerrilla warfare, it will have a similar outcome to all the crusades against Orgrimmar in the past - victory, but no decisive victory. The nomadic orcs begin to play hide and seek with you on the vastness of the Orgrimmar Wasteland. In the end, those who are a little more lucky can retire safely, and those who are a little less lucky may even be killed by someone. We must know that even in the heyday of the powerful Oakland Holy Springs Dynasty, it was not able to completely destroy the orcs and completely conquer Orgrimmar. In the later years of the reign of the "virtuous king" Gyllenhaal, more than 400,000 troops were dispatched, and all the allies in the Black Earth Hills, the Dragonclaw Peninsula, the Stormy Cape, the Arel Plateau, and even the Illist Peninsula were divided into five armies to attack at the same time. The overwhelming posture of the crowd is much more exaggerated than this time.
However, even if two Golden Horde Khans were killed in battle, and many clans eventually prostrate at the feet of the Virtuous King, an equal number of clans continued to resist. Eventually, the army was exhausted and the country was exhausted, and after the death of Gyllenhaal, the vast coalition was disbanded. Shortly thereafter, a new Golden Horde was born from the rebellious clan, and Orgrimmar was once again restored to absolute control.
After Gyllenhaal, the closest to the complete conquest of Orgrimmar was Artoria's great-uncle and Fett's great-grandfather, Virgia's "Overlord" Stemsson. One of the most powerful emperors in the history of the Nords, he even went one step further than King Xian, even destroying the Golden Horde and burning down the Heavenly Spirit Ancestral Temple of the Orcs. However, we all know the end result.
From this point of view, the orcs who would rather bend than bend claim to be "never slaves", in fact, there is a certain historical basis. Although Lu Xi himself has always scoffed at this kind of mentions.
Now, after the crushing defeat under the Black Mancheng City, the traditionally powerful orc clans such as Shattered Fist, Frostfang, and Thunder Spear have suffered heavy losses. Asog "Dragonheart" took the Golden Horde's throne, but a large number of traditional orc elders and military nobles still questioned him - if given time, he might be able to make these doubts disappear completely, strengthen the cohesion of all clans, and turn Orgrimmar into an empire that has never been more powerful than ever. However, the reality is that he has been in the Golden Horde for too short a time. Unless someone has an aura of demagogic power, it is impossible to have such combat power.
In short, the entire Orgrimmar is indeed at the point of weakness in fifty years, and it probably gives the continental countries a chance to completely solve the Orgrimmar problem. However, if there is no special means, the result will probably be the same as before, right? You know, in history, there have been times when orcs have been weaker than now, but they have all survived. For a race, this resilience is worthy of respect. If there is an enlightened but strong leader who helps them throw off the traditional and religious shackles of anti-civilization and carry out political reform in the form of the organizational structure of a modern state, perhaps a new pole will be formed on this continent.
Yes, for the nations, the period of the weakness of Orgrimmar's integrity is a great opportunity to destroy it once and for all. But for the orcs, isn't this an opportunity? If Asog can lead them out of this crisis of national extinction, he will have the prestige to reform the entire race.
…… However, if this is really the case, wouldn't I have become the background villain in the epic event of "Orc Revival"?
Lu Xi felt that as a protagonist who crossed over, in order not to embarrass the race, he must not be reduced to these regions. Then, you must also do what your ancestors, that is, the natives, could not do.
He decided that in order to completely cut off the fate and future of Orgrimmar, he had to reduce their strategic maneuver space little by little. The first step is to give the orcs enough blood to their existing and already stretched war potential.
Storm Wolf Knight, it's best to stay all here. The Stormwind Clan will no longer be able to remain in this world as a separate legion-level war unit. If possible, take the head of Thor, the Child of the Wind. This would not only allow him to completely sever one of the arms of the Dragon's Heart, but could even anger the new Golden Horde.
An angry military leader is the most likely to show his flaws, although he is not sure that the other party will definitely do so, but anyway, he will have nothing to lose if he tries it.
All in all, Lu Xi's tactics are very simple, little by little to expose the traces of looseness, little by little to give the opponent hope of victory, and finally, to induce the opponent to put all his chips on the table little by little - this is the same trick that a gambling master uses on his fat sheep targets. Of course, Lu Xi's opponent Sir Khan is not a casino high roller with a lot of money, but when it comes to gambling, Lu Xi, who is the "queen of gambling", is confident that he will not lose to anyone in a hurry in Neosfia.
This is psychological warfare on the battlefield, but it is also a game of will between the armies of both sides. If the group of recruits under his command could not withstand the onslaught of enemy wolf knights and centaurs, the situation would of course be a different matter. Strictly speaking, in fact, the Khan of Shelkhan has already won, and all his judgments are correct...... It's just that it doesn't take into account the existence of plug-ins. Of course, if there were no plug-ins, Lu Xida would not have been able to set up such a formation from the beginning.
Far more powerful than ordinary people's spiritual sense and perception, Lu Xi almost didn't need a telescope to capture the enemy who was most worthy of his attention among the other party's vast cavalry charging troops.
The muscular orc, clad in the delicate silver plate armor rarely seen in Orgrimmar, glowed with a faint magical glow, and his black fur robe exuded the same magical sheen. He carried a war hammer that emitted white light, and under his crotch was a huge wolf with hair close to purple and barely a single stray hair.
"Son of the Wind, Thor!" Lu Xi dismantled the other party's identity almost instantly. He can be sure that at this time, the other party should also be looking for himself.
"It's a pity that we've admired it for a long time, we are destined to meet each other."
Behind him was a slightly slimmer female orc, clad in chain mail and riding a white wolf. She held up a slender flagpole carved with various hexical runes. Then, six lightning storm shields rose above her head, forming a shield of thunder and lightning that lingered overhead, covering her, the Khan in front of her, and all the wolf knights within a radius of tens of meters.
“…… At least, with the strength of the Earth Spirit Shaman! Lu Xi made a judgment very professionally.
"In the face of all-encompassing arcane magic, the shamanic magic of orcs is nothing more than primitive tricks." Rudolph? Gezett's smile was somewhat dismissive, and he calmly showed obvious revolutionary optimism. Although he had always wanted to show such composure in Lu Xi, as a magician of the Academic Alliance, he had a good sense of collective honor in this regard.
Of course, what he said is not without reason. The shaman's magic requires the help of totem poles, and the powerful transcendents certainly have the means to summon the wind and rain, but the effect is indeed simple. A good shaman, mixed into a superior person in a purely muscular society like orcs, will never lag behind people in terms of brute strength in addition to magical means.
Perhaps they had heard the enemy's contempt for themselves, or perhaps it was simply to show the bravery of the orcs who "never be slaves", at least fifty orc shamans, riding their own wolves, with dense arrows and sparse projectiles (the main target of the gunners at the moment is still the centaurs on both wings), rushed to the front of the battle and activated their magic.
Shamanic magic has always had poor attack effects, but the totem pole's protection and buff effects are still good.
"Well, then, Your Excellency, the enemy is now very densely packed. Prepare the Battlemage Regiment...... Uh, I can get them to run to move to the front! ”
"When they come, the daylilies are cool. Just tell them to get ready, follow the original plan, and do what they have to do. Lu Xi glanced at his chief of staff: "The battle of the battle mage regiment can really be related to whether we can keep all the most important mobile forces of the Storm Clan and even Orgrimmar here!" Liszt is still too young, and I am not at ease when it is completely handed over to him. So, Chief of Staff, can I hand it over to you? I'll have Seyleliu and Liszt assist you. ”
Brigadier General Geze was slightly stunned, and an expression mixed with suspicion and excitement flashed across his face. He took a deep breath quietly, showed a look of appropriate gratitude, slammed his fist on his chest hard, and said in a calm and high-spirited tone: "I will not disappoint you, Your Excellency!" ”
And then, the chief of staff and his uncle, that is, deputy commander Eamon? Wielanbart exchanged expressions and quickly left with full of enthusiasm and fighting intent.
"Actually, if you place the battle mage group in front of the formation, at least in the magic confrontation, we will never lose to the orcs." The deputy commander said in a low voice.
"They've unfurled the Storm Shield, a defensive magic that can chain up to increase effectiveness, and it's arguably the orc's most important battlefield magic. Fifty qualified shamans cast a spell together, and the strength may even increase by two or three times. In this case, bombarding with area-of-effect magic will only turn into a fancy-free assault. Of course, when they are exhausted, they may be able to exhaust those shamans, but what is the point of that? Lu Xi looked at the deputy next to him, who was thirty years older than him, shrugged his shoulders noncommittally, and said with a smile: "Lord Aemon, I don't remember, the magicians of the Knowledge Alliance have been reduced to such a stupid display of strength!" ”
Although he was thirty years older than the other party, His Excellency the Deputy Commander was very modest, and he bowed his head slightly at the moment, showing a relieved smile: "What you said is that the old man has been taught. ”
If you keep being so good at behaving, it will only have the opposite effect. Anyway, I'm going to want to shoot a fireball at your sinister face right now. Lu Xi smiled and looked directly into the other party's eyes, and then put his gaze back on the battlefield.
"So, what about the heavenly enemy? Don't you need a regiment of battle mages to come over for air defense? The other asked again. He is also a golden-rank magician, and his spiritual sense is certainly sharp enough to catch the enemies who are slowly approaching behind the clouds.
"Leave it to our Air Force." Lu Xi nodded briefly, then stood up. It was also the first time he had stood up from his seat under his banner.
As a result, the heralds and guards nearby couldn't help but turn their heads to look at him.
Standing under the banner of the Sky Rose, Lu Xi stretched out his right hand, drew out three fingers, and stretched it forward.
A herald quickly ran behind the mountain bag, picked up the nearly two-person high command flag in his hand, and waved it vigorously. And all this has already been seen by Els, the herald who ran to the rear of the whole army.
"The commander has an order! The central enemy is in the main formation, extend the shot, and fire three rounds in a salvo! ”
"The enemy forces in the center are in this position, extend the shot! Salvo three rounds! "Lu Xi's original and most non-existent but equivalent to a versatile retainer, the villager A Grant boy back then, is now Grant? Admiral Smith, standing in the artillery barracks, gave the order loudly.
At present, the artillery battalion of the Fourth Army is not large, and the total equipment includes twelve Avalanche General Type A that can be used to attack the city, and 35 Reaper Type A that can quickly harvest the enemy's head, all of which were temporarily dragged out by Lu Xi from the treasury of North Industries. At present, the level of artillerymen who have only been trained for less than half a year is not mature, and on average, two dwarven artillerymen are required to operate a cannon with three or four human soldiers. Together with the same number of auxiliary and maintenance personnel, the number of artillery units suddenly exceeded two thousand people, which, of course, could not be a small lieutenant to be the chief officer.
Fortunately, the whole corps after being taught by Lu Xi (meow) is now very cooperative, and the current artillery chief is the corps logistics director, and the good old man Brigadier General Lu Xi can't even remember his name is in charge. On the battlefield, the old gentleman cooperated to hand over the command to Grant, and he was happy to play the role of an amazing melon-eating crowd on the side.
Amid the shouting and scolding of the dwarven instructors, the artillerymen were slightly scrambling to adjust the elevation angles of more than fifty cannons. On average, it took them ten seconds longer than the dwarven new army artillery units, but it was a success. A cannonball with a spell of runes engraved on it was also accurately filled into the chamber. So far, no one has made a mistake.
As soon as the officers and officers of the artillery positions ate melons, the masses hurriedly covered their ears. They'd felt the power of this thing roaring at close range, and they didn't want to take it again or twice.
When the artillery regiment finished preparing for shooting, the orc flying cavalry finally broke out of the clouds and swooped down on the ground like a flock of crazy vultures. For a moment, piercing roars, wings flapping, and the frantic cries of a large herd of orcs fell from the sky.
The roar of the bipedal wyvern was sharp and terrible, like steel cutting through glass, although it was not to the point of dragon power, it could still shock ordinary people and almost couldn't raise their heads. However, at that moment, none of the federal soldiers present were frightened.
Because, at that moment, a huge roar like thunder and an earthquake overshadowed all the voices present.
