Chapter 324: Air Raid
Chapter 324: Air Raid
The orc army is here. They headed in the direction of Nighttown, not because they had discovered the location of Lakeside and Nightshade's reinforcements. Rather, it was because Gul'dan found that after not being able to capture Stormwind for a long time, their surprise attack had failed. Now the tribal army must retreat some distance, otherwise they may be surrounded by the human army that reacts, after all, the human paladin legion Gul'dan has also seen it, and it is very difficult. And he still relies on the orc army now, and he can't let this orc invasion fail. So the orc army had to retreat to get out of the encirclement.
As the orc army retreated, the returning armies of the human side finally joined forces with the coalition forces pursuing Stormwind, so the two sides confronted each other on the upwind trail.
"These damn bastards." As soon as Vane and the others entered the central horde of the coalition with Muradin and Walker, they heard the roar of Commander Lothar and the human officers in the horde, especially Varian, who was already roaring. Because at this time he thought of his father, King Lane.
"What's wrong? What's wrong? Hearing the roar of the human, Muradin immediately stepped forward and asked.
Commander Lothar calmed down and said to Muradin: "Ninety percent of the people of Night Town were killed by those savage orcs, and now there are only about a hundred townspeople left in the town of tens of thousands of people. ”
"These guys are damn good. We can't let them exist in this world. After hearing the tragic situation in Nightlight Town, Walker suddenly had a more intuitive understanding of the ferocity of the orcs.
"Report, word from the makeshift airport in Lakeside Town, they're ready." At this time, a dwarf messenger entered the tent and reported.
"Very well, let's go to the front and see how it goes." Commander Lothar was immediately pleased to hear the words of the dwarf messenger. If the air raid is effective enough, they will be able to take advantage of the chaos to attack the orcs immediately, and then the orcs will be driven out of the upwind trail.
If the orc army had remained in the woods as before, the dwarf air force would no longer have been able to come in handy except for high-altitude reconnaissance, but these orcs would have to set up a defensive line here on the upwind trail. You know, there are no trees to cover the upwind trail, and the location of these orcs can be easily detected from the air. Again, there is no effect on bomb dropping. So, with the sound of engines, more than a dozen dwarf planes flew over the orc defense line.
For the gnome planes, the orcs didn't really know exactly what it was, but they understood that it was the enemy's thing. So when the plane approached, the orcs began to bend their bows and arrows, trying to shoot the plane down. Of course, this is completely overthought by the orcs, who have always lived a primitive tribe hunting life and can't even build boats, so they think that airplanes are like birds in the sky, as long as they use bows and arrows, they can shoot down.
On the coalition side, Commander Lothar and Muradin, along with Walker, human officers, and others such as Khadgar and Vaen, were in front of the line to check the effects of the air strikes. Due to the distance between the two sides' defensive lines, except for a few High Elves in Vane, it was difficult for others to see the details of the opposite side even with the dwarf's telescope, and they could only see a rough idea.
"What are they going to do?" Barka looked at the orcs in the orc camp in the distance, and said with some doubts: "Are they going to shoot the plane above their heads with bows and arrows?" ”
As soon as Barka finished speaking, he saw the orcs' arrows 'whizz' towards the planes in the sky. Most of these arrows missed, but a few did hit the bottom of the plane. However, there is no other effect than the 'clanging' sound of the arrow colliding with the bottom of the plane.
"Well, it looks like they're really trying to knock the plane down with a bow and arrow." Barka muttered to himself with an embarrassed expression.
"These orcs don't seem to know much about engineering. Their level of civilization should not be very high. Anna spoke as Barka's words fell.
"This can be seen from their weapons, these orc weapons are very crudely forged, and they are completely substandard products. This shows that they did not master the forging technique for too long. After hearing Anna's evaluation of the civilization of the orcs, Walker also opened his mouth to express his opinion to the others.
At this moment, the planes in the sky began to drop bombs on the orc defense line below, and in just one minute, more than seventy aerial bombs were dropped on the heads of these orcs.
With the sound of a 'boom' explosion, fireballs rose from inside the orc defense line. The violent explosion instantly blew the nearby orcs into shredded flesh, and the wave of air from the explosion tossed those distant orcs into the air, and then slammed them to the ground, and the flying shrapnel knocked them one by one like a sieve full of holes. Some of the orcs who did not die immediately were still shaking their bodies on the ground. Other orcs who had simply blown off their limbs fell to the ground and wailed.
The explosion of these bombs caused the orc defense line to be in chaos, and Commander Lothar, who saw the opportunity, immediately waved his sword forward, and ordered the troops who had already prepared: "Everyone, charge, kill those bastards." ”
With the order of Commander Lothar, the coalition forces immediately launched a charge towards the opposing orc line. Having said that, the humans in this world are much better than the humans in Vane's previous life in terms of physical fitness, at least the endurance is very good, and at a distance of hundreds of meters, they can rush over without breathing, and they can also engage in fierce battles with orcs, and they can't see any excessive consumption at all.
The coalition attacks added to the confusion of the orcs, who were unable to organize an effective defense. As a result, they had to leave some of the orcs behind, while the rest of the orcs quickly retreated towards the second line of defense in the rear.
At the same time, those orc warlocks in the second line of defense of the orcs began to release spells towards the position of the first line of defense. Suddenly, with the casting of those orc warlocks, huge fireballs over the battlefield smashed fiercely towards the ground. The intentions of these orc warlocks were obvious, and it was impossible for the orcs to survive anyway, so they took advantage of the fact that the two sides were mixed up and used a wide range of attacks to inflict as many casualties as possible on the soldiers of the coalition forces.
