The Shattered Fist Clan was finished, and when the artillery covered the mountains, Lu Xi made a confirmation. Of course, according to the original plan, the troops composed of orcs, elves, and Auckland would directly cross the Bloodrock Canyon, turn west, and divide the troops again, after clearing the troops of Shattered Fist.

The entire army of the dwarves and the main infantry of the elves will continue to advance westward, continuing to approach the Storm Clan's current core territory, the Belka Hills, which is one of Orgrimmar's most fertile pastures, with abundant water and grass. For the orcs, who take animal husbandry as the main productive force, of course, there is no room for error. In addition, the Nightblade Panther Hunters and the Oakland Cavalry, combined into a highly mobile team of knights, will go north to attack the civilian gathering places of the Shattered Fist, Storm, Akatsuki and other clans, and after dealing enough damage to the Orc reserves, turn south and attack the Belka Hills from the north. As for Lu Xi himself, he will lead the Fourth Legion into the Wize Wetlands from Longwei Slope and Black Crow Pass, and from the south to the core of the Belka Hills, the Temple of Falling Blade, which is also the most important place of worship for the orcs in the southern part of Orgrimmar, including the tombs of most of the orc clan khans.

"This is the so-called three-way attack, the division is attacking! The three armies will be near the Belka Hills, suppressing the Storm Clan's living space there, and then win the battle. Lu Xi smiled: "How about it, is it a strategy with a sense of déjà vu?" ”

"Yes, yes!" The senior officers of the Fourth Army Corps expressed their approval, most of them had little actual combat experience, and they were all so-called "civilian officers", and they were immediately impressed by Lu Xi's map work, and felt that just by relying on the arrows marked by Lu Xi in red pencil on the map, there was a kind of courage of a large army pressing the situation. The orc Storm Clan is naturally going to be like a chicken, a tile, a dog.

Well, in a very cute era in Lu Xi's hometown, when a certain "civilian" (which is very important) commander surnamed Yang formulated a strategic plan for the invasion of several armies like this, most of his subordinates who were also civilian-born, as well as the high-level leaders, also applauded in this way. As for those who can see the problem, such as the surname Du, the surname Liu, and the surname Li...... Tsk, Qiu Hachi Wufu has a fart say in grand strategy!

Aemon? Lieutenant General Wilambat frowned and said with some hesitation, "Do we have to take into account the plan of action of the orc wolf cavalry?" "He, of course, was also born "civilian officer", but he is not stupid. At least at this time, he was really thinking about the future of the army.

"This, this...... If all goes well, of course, it's an unassailable strategy. "The only one who questioned it was Brigadier General Gezet. He looked at the stupid colleagues around him, and had a little headache, thinking to himself that MD A group of ZZ wall grasses were really taught well by the commander! However, as an excellent military academy student with ability and knowledge, he felt that he still had the obligation to put forward constructive suggestions, so he said: "But, Your Excellency, the three-way attack seems to have set a net for the enemy that cannot be escaped, but in a sense, doesn't it also divide our troops?" If, I mean, Sayr uses Storm's mobility and terrain advantage to defeat each of us, what should we do? ”

"So, what about your opinion? Chief of staff. Lu Xi said with a smile: "Only asking questions, but not mentioning solutions to problems, is not the practice of an excellent chief of staff." ”

"Retreat to the west, and the main round of the orcs and elves!" "Actually, our goal is to gain control of the Wiezer Wetlands and the Belka Hills in order to secure the supply lines from the Great Lakes to the Mubohair River, and we don't necessarily want to wipe out the main force of the Storm Clan's wolf cavalry!" As long as we take control of this place, expel the wolf cavalry to the north, and then divide some of our forces to the south, we can also achieve the strategic goal of flanking the Orc defenders of the Mubohair River with the southern group of the coalition forces! ”

"This is also a very wise judgment!" Lu Xi nodded, but before the other party showed a happy expression, he said, "If we still have enough time, of course I will do it." ”

"Division, Your Excellency Commander......"

"Then, according to the original plan, continue to march to the northeast! Meeting! Lu Xi beckoned, thus ending the first military meeting of the Fourth Legion after crossing the Blood Rock Ridge.

The deputy commander and the chief of staff still had something to say, but in the face of Lu Xi, who was not reasonable at all, he could only sigh, had no choice but to leave, and decided to find another private opportunity to persuade him.

Sai Xiliu, who was helping Lu Xi cook hot chocolate in the tent, did not leave with the general and the rest of the staff - now she slept in a tent with Lu Xi almost every day, and no one dared to raise any objection to this. She thought for a moment about the look of help that Gezette threw at her before leaving, sighed for a while, and said to Lu Xi: "At least, at this time, I am really thinking about you and the Fourth Legion." You can actually trust them a little more. ”

"After all, no one can joke with their lives. In such a tundra wasteland, if you lose an army, even the most powerful individuals will be extremely vulnerable. After all, they are the children of wealthy families of the Federation, and they are naturally superior, if they are chased and hunted in the wasteland like rabbits by orc wolf cavalry, that kind of death is really too embarrassing. Lu Xi smiled: "Of course, if I don't blow my mouth, even if it is really annihilated." I also have a way to get away with all of you easily! Even if there are tens of thousands of storm wolf cavalry chasing after them. ”

Saihiru couldn't help but let out a "poof", and the ninja smiled, "I believe it." You, I know very well, if you really plan to escape, even the demon god can't stop you...... However, you wouldn't have deliberately sent tens of thousands of troops to their deaths in order to legally kill the people of the Wilambat family, right? ”

“…… I said, Sehireu, in your mind, when did I become such a complete psychopath? Although I can't be regarded as a perfect saint at the moral level, there is still a bottom line. Lu Xi felt that he had been really hurt a lot: "I feel that my soul has been hurt by tons, especially since this kind of injury comes from Sai Xiliu, one of the people I trust and love the most, even if it is a determined hero of a hundred battles, or a murderer without blood and tears, he can't tolerate such pain!" Woo woo woo ”

"Alright, alright, don't let it go. If this is seen by the people below, see how you will lead the troops in the future. In addition, make up for it or something......" Speaking of this, Sai Xiliu's face couldn't help but turn red, and he couldn't help but say: "I, I can warn you, we said before, crossing the Blood Rock Ridge is equivalent to entering the enemy territory, you have to set an example for the whole army, don't touch me again in the future!" ”

"I didn't say what I wanted to do. This is what you said first, obviously it is Sehireu that you want to put yourself? ”

Sehireux was almost so angry that he turned his back on him. She was already mentally prepared for Lu Xi's shamelessness now, but she would still be flickered by this coldness. She was wondering whether to put the pot of coffee that was about to boil on Lu Xi's head when the voice of Major Valerius came from outside the tent.

"My lord, may I come in?"

Because there were no outsiders present, Lu Xi's current head of the retainers called him like this, not the official "Your Excellency the Commander".

"Please come in." Lu Xi instantly returned to sitting upright.

This former underworld double-flowered red stick (this is true of Nyima's disobedience), who can almost be regarded as a model of knightly manners, walked into the room like this and slightly saluted Lu Xi and Sai Xiliu's chin. Sai Xiliu also hurriedly got up to return the salute, in terms of official status, both of them are majors, but in terms of private individuals, she is the "master mother", theoretically, it is reasonable for Mr. Knight to bow first. However, it was clear that the former student council president, who was born in a commoner, did not have the consciousness of being a superior person, so she hurriedly returned a salute, and then lifted the copper kettle and poured a full cup of hot chocolate for the other party.

"It's already sleep time, but it's good to have a drink to warm up." Sehireu Road.

Although the old knight was wearing a fur cloak, his body was damp and heavy. On top of the pitch-black cloak fur and his own hair, there were still condensed strings of ice bumps that were not too obvious. Obviously, he had just returned from an expedition outside, and it was a high-altitude reconnaissance, bearing the onslaught of colder temperatures than the ground. Even if he was a gold-high-level powerhouse, he would definitely not feel good if he stayed in the cold wind of the night for so long. So, he gratefully took the steaming chocolate from Sesileu and drank it up. This sweet drink was not actually to the taste of Valerius's hard-core man, but at this time, he could still feel the sweetness and warmth that made people feel extremely relaxed, spreading from the tip of his tongue and taste buds, and soon filling his body and limbs with comfort.

"Looks like you're used to riding a horned eagle." Lu Xi said with a smile.

"At least it's not any harder to tame than those phantom beast species. In fact, the Horned Eagle is more docile than the Xilin Warhorse. ”

Is this a disguised satire that the cavalry of the Federation is all sissies? The mounts of the so-called carnivores are actually more faceless than herbivores? Hey, it's none of my business anyway.

"And, it seems, you've gained a lot of money." Lu Xi's gaze slid over the opponent's armor. Beneath the pitch-black fur cloak, the old knight's silver armor was stained with a few drops of black stains, which must have dried up if I guessed correctly. Under the low temperature of the frozen soil of the Orgrimmar Great Wasteland, blood is also easily frozen.

"Just now, there is a squad of reconnaissance cavalry, but when it is time to return to the camp, it has not been returned." Valerius said: "I took a squadron of cavalry with me. Thanks to Master Liszt, who volunteered to join us, and with a master of prophecy like him, we quickly found a scout party besieged by orc dragoons. ”

The main flying mounts of the orcs, the dragon bat and the thin-scale bipedal wyvern, are quite ferocious existences among the wurm creatures, and in terms of combat effectiveness, ferocity, and courage, they definitely throw off the horned eagle by more than an order of magnitude, not to mention the gap between the riders. Generally speaking, on a frontal battlefield, the flying cavalry of the regular army of the Federation probably needs more than three times the strength to suppress the orcs; And if the opponent is replaced by the Janissary Griffin Knight of Auckland, the difference will reach more than five to one.

Well, if there were no floating warships, the so-called "heavenly people" of the Federation would be scum even on the battlefield in the sky.

"Don't worry, I've got two hundred people with me this time. If the number of people is too small, I can't actually rest assured. ”

Oh, this taunt is really unexpected! In other words, you have been a warden for a while, but you are desperate for the fighting power of the Federation cavalry?

"But the fight was really going well. We intercepted about thirty orc dragoons, killed a third, captured five, and all the rest fled. Luckily, among the five captives was an orc scout captain, a direct descendant of the Stormwind clan and a cousin of the 'Son of the Wind' Thor Khan. ”

The phrase "Orcs will never be slaves" is probably the slogan on Orgrimmar's own propaganda advertorial, otherwise the orc gladiators who are especially popular in Neosfia would not have appeared. In fact, although the orcs are fierce and brave, once they are defeated and fall into the hands of the enemy, they will not show any more fierceness than any intelligent race; And we also know that once it falls into the hands of the caster, it is difficult for the tight-mouthed captives to keep it a secret.

Judging by Mr. Valerius's expression, he must have gotten a lot of things from the other party's mouth.

"Yes, my lord. I learned from the captives that as early as the day before yesterday, when we had just crossed the Blood Rock Ridge from Longwei Gorge and Black Crow Pass, the 'Son of the Wind' Ser Khan had issued a conscription order to gather all the young wolf cavalry of the Stormwind Clan and its vassal tribes and prepare to set off. ”

Lu Xi and Sai Xiliu exchanged a look covertly.

"Well, that's not surprising. Thor is Asog's good friend and right-hand man, and should be a decisive one. Lu Xi nodded.

"Since it's the elite wolf cavalry of the Storm Wind Clan, it should be more than 40,000 cavalry, right?" Sehireux thought about it.

"It's all his strength. However, we need to take into account the mobilization and rallying power of the nomadic race. You know, in order to create enough pressure on the supply lines to the southern front, the Storm Wolf Cavalry can be described as casting a net all over the ground. I have read the battle report, and in one day, three groups of grain convoys and two outposts were attacked at the same time. This actually shows that a large number of troops of the Storm Wind Clan have been scattered on this hundreds of kilometers of front. In two days, it is unrealistic to completely assemble the scattered forces, at most half of them, right? ”

The old knight nodded: "According to the captive, before he set off, the Khan of Thor had indeed gathered about 20,000 cavalry of the Storm Wolf and was maneuvering in the direction of the Falling Blade Temple. He pondered for a moment, and then said, "Indeed, as you said, our forces are superior, and if we continue to march together, Cer will never dare to meet them head-on. Only after the division of troops did he dare to adopt the tactics of individual breakthroughs...... However, judging from the current movement of the enemy forces, it is not completely certain which way to prepare for an early attack. ”

Lu Xi smiled: "Tell me, Mr. Valerius, if you are a top student who graduated from the Saint Laurent Knight Academy, if you are the 'Son of the Wind', which path will you choose?" ”

The old knight pondered for a moment and said, "The dwarves and elves are both elite in a hundred battles, with a total strength of nearly 20,000 people, although almost all of them are infantry, but their combat effectiveness is extremely strong, and it took them to completely defeat the remnants of the broken fists. The cavalry along the way from Auckland and the Elves may have fewer troops, but they are all elite cavalry, and their mobility and endurance are no less than the Storm Wolf Cavalry, and the impact power is even better. On the plains, a no-fancy cavalry battle with the Oakland Praetorian Knights is not too clever to choose. If it's me......"

"If it were you, I'd rather wait a little longer, gather all the wolf riders under your command, and when the total strength reaches more than six times that of your opponent, then overwhelmingly press it and besiege it from all sides. Only then can we be sure that with minimal losses, these thousands of Oakland knights will be left behind. Lu Xi smiled.

"Yes, I am well aware of the fighting power of the Auckland cavalry, especially those cyan lancers. On a frontal battlefield, even a wolf rider more than five times as many as he could withstand a face-to-face charge. Although the rest of the cavalry came from all the lords of the empire, they were all professional knights who had received off-duty military training since childhood! Coupled with the cooperation of the group of wood elf panther hunters who came and went without a trace, flying like arrows...... "As an Aucklander, Mr. Valerius is very confident in his homeland: "You are right, if I don't have more than five times the number of troops, I will not rashly attack such an enemy." ”

But he didn't have that much time! Wait a day or two, and my Fourth Legion will be at the Temple of the Fallen Blades. If I really dig up the graves of their orc ancestors and fathers...... Well, the orc's parent-child relationship has always been quite bloody, and they don't really care too much about that. But if we face a rookie rabble like us and flee without a fight, we can't say anything about it. Lu Xi smiled: "So, isn't the current situation very clear?" ”

“…… I see, let's go down and prepare! The old knight nodded and left.

Sai Xiliu poured a cup of hot chocolate for Lu Xi and himself, and couldn't help but ask again, "So, you have determined that Thor's main force will pounce directly on us." However, how can you be sure that we, a group of rookies, can really withstand the elite wolf cavalry? Yes, they have been training for half a year, but this is not enough. Didn't you see the behavior of those people when you were marching? ”

"Don't underestimate people's performance in critical situations just because they are weak chickens." Lu Xi said with a smile: "In short, the wolf cavalry of the Storm Clan will collide with us before the sun sets tomorrow at the latest. Well, I'll have to wake up a little earlier tomorrow. But before that, hey, hey, dear Sehireuth, we actually have time! ”

"So, so I said it, I was still discussing military affairs just now, why did I run here in an instant! You desolate (meow) unscrupulous warlord glutton! No, didn't you say it a long time ago, you won't be allowed to touch me again after entering the war zone! ”

"That's right, so I'm just saying that I have time, such as chatting, drinking, drinking tea, playing mahjong or something, it's obviously Sai Xiliu that you want to be crooked."

If Sai Xiliu really took a red-hot teapot and buckled it on Lu Xi's head at this time, so the inverted protagonist was scalded to death and the whole book ended, this is also his own doing, right? There must be no sympathy for the others.
