Chapter 204: Sorrowful Swamp Offensive and Defensive Battle
From the Swamp of Sorrow to the mouth of the valley of the Red Ridge Mountains, the highlands on either side of the valley have been overrun by the Blood Elf Rangers. Barricades were also set up at Taniguchi, and the Blood Knights waited in the valley.
"Lord, how are humans going to attack us?" The Blood Knight soldier asked Selin Fireheart.
"Humans, their army is divided into infantry and knights, and of course their MI7 scouts. This is the high ground, which is not convenient for knights to charge, and I think they should be mainly infantry, or knights to infantry. Serin said.
"Commander, I have a question, what should we do if humans send the Griffin Knights Air Force to come?" The soldier asked.
"We don't have to worry about this, Your Highness will solve it. Our mission is to repel the intruding enemy, and those who dare to take an offside step will be killed!" Selin Fireheart shouted.
At this time, Quelsala and the others were also thinking about what to do if the alliance dispatched griffin knights!
"Our Dragon Shadow Knight and Wind Rider Knight are not here, and Stoneard doesn't have an air force, which is really a tricky thing!" Hawksbill said.
As for Hawksbill's question, everyone was at a loss to explain.
"If they send out the air force, I'll use time magic to destroy them." Safir said.
"No! You can't go to war! And all the hero ranks can't participate in the battle, unless the alliance has a high-level combat power!" "If I'm not mistaken," Quelsara said, "this war won't be long, as long as we hold it for seven days." For seven days, we only defended and did not attack, after all, this is the hinterland of the Alliance, and their reinforcements can come in in a steady stream, but we can only rely on ourselves. If we thought about reinforcements, then by the time they felt we were dead. ”
"Having said so much, I still haven't said how to defend against the alliance's air force!" Anvina said.
"You don't have to worry at all, I have a way to guard against the Air Force!" Goblin Engineer Sadeshi said, "The materials I bring here can be assembled into ten mortars, and then we can borrow a few in the town of Slurry, which can completely defend against the Alliance's air force." ”
"That's good! Then do it, the mortar arrangement will be handed over to you, Sadehi! "The defense of the high ground on both sides of the valley depends on you rangers!" ”
"Sallyn, Karel, you guys go out after the stalemate, and keep an eye on the Alliance's movements." Quelsara orders the two scout captains on a mission. Then he and Hawksbill, Anvina, Eldara, Sanion, and others went to the valley heights to check the terrain.
Standing on the highest point of the highlands on either side of the valley overlooking the Red Ridge Mountains, the lakeside town of the Union sits on the shores of Zhishui Lake. This Red Ridge Mountain is a grassland basin terrain, and it is even more difficult for the Alliance to counterattack the Sorrowful Swamp from here. The blood elves guarding here can be described as a one-man affair!
After inspecting the terrain, Quelsara took his three wives back to the camp to rest, and handed over the task of dispatching the army to Hawksbill and Selin Fireheart.
On the other hand, the orcs have also placed their forces at the junction of the headwind trail leading to the Swamp of Sorrow in Nighttown, waiting for the Alliance's arrival.
Due to the special topography of the Sad Marsh, the junction of the upwind trail is also a valley, and the terrain is more complex than that of the Red Ridge Mountain, and the road is rugged and narrow. If the Alliance's Nightshade soldiers attack from here, it will be no different from sending them to their deaths.
While the Swamp of Sorrows Tribe was in full swing, the leaders of the Alliance's Stormwind were also thinking about ways and means to attack the Swamp of Sorrows in front of the map.
"Judging from the map, the entrances of both places are not good for us!" Archduke Boval stood in front of the map and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, if we attack from here in the Red Ridge Mountain, we will first have to climb from the basin to the mountainside to the Burning Plains before we can march on a large scale. But even so, as we approached the edge of the Swamp of Sorrows, the valley there blocked our way, and if I expected it to be true, the Blood Elves had now taken over it and built a fortress. ”
"Then we'll set off from Nighttown!" It's still the knight lord who has been on the main side.
"Your Excellency, starting from Night Town, we have to pass through the upwind trail in Karazan, we all know the terrain there, if we choose to send troops here, it will be tantamount to death!" Bowall said.
"So we're going to have to give up the Swamp of Sorrow to the Horde? There are a lot of resources here! The Great Lord said with a little anger.
"If neither is possible, then we can choose to send troops from the Watchtower!" The archmage of the Lord and the faction said.
"Watchtower? It is used as a defense against the remnants of the demonic forces of the Cursed Lands and the Dark Portal. "All the higher-ups in the work were surprised by the Archmage's proposal. As early as the expeditionary force's expedition to the Outlands, the mission of the Watch Fortress was to guard against the demonic remnants of the Cursed Lands and to prevent the reopening of the Dark Gate. However, the most important task of the Watchtower is to welcome the possible return of the expeditionary force, and the safety of the Watchman's former comrades.
"Even sending troops from Fort Watch will not help, the Swamp of Sorrow is surrounded by mountains on three sides and faces the sea on the other. It is very difficult to attack from land, but if our navy were to attack from the sea by detour, it would take at least a month. Bolwal said.
While everyone was discussing, Countess Caterina Presto led Anduin by the hand to the conference room. Katerina had already heard everyone's discussion outside the door, so she said, "Guys, why don't you consider using the Air Force?" Griffin Knights, and airships. ”
"Your Excellency, your proposal is very good! But Gryphon Knight, there is only one legion in the entire Stormwind City, and it is our loss to reduce one, and we cannot use Griffin Knight until the time of life and death. For airships, this one is fine. But at present, the great craftsmen of the gnomes have only built one, and they can only transport about five hundred troops at a time. Bolwal said.
"That's enough, the orcs and blood elves of the Swamp of Sorrow are only two thousand. We only need to ship a few more times to achieve unexpected results. The countess said.
"And where do we choose to be the landing site?" The Knight Lord asked.
Countess Caterina walked to the map, observed for a long time, stretched out her finger and pointed to the valley in the northwest corner of the Sorrowful Marsh, and said: "Right here, the terrain here is hidden, and the tribes would never have imagined that we would choose to airship airborne." After all, the airship had just been built and had never been put into service. ”
The Countess's proposal was unanimously agreed upon, and they went to gather their troops and prepare to parachute into the Swamp of Sorrow.
