An elite army of Lordaeron marched south along Lake Lordamir. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Dressed in a brand new military uniform, Edres Blackmore felt like he was standing a little erect. In other words, a few days ago, he could never have dreamed that he could become the top of an army of this size, the adjutant of the generalissimo.
Generalissimo Garrysers had a high level of tactical literacy, and his army had extremely strict military discipline, so Blackmore tried to make himself a lieutenant of the forbidden League, and now that he had risen to the rank of major, to suit his tastes.
"Blackmore!" The generalissimo, riding a tall horse, called his adjutant: "Come and tell me about the group of orcs!" ”
Blackmore tidied up his clothes, recalled the previous situation, and said very seriously: "Generalissimo, this group of orcs is probably the most cunning orcs I have ever seen, their march is uniform, and they seem to have a strong leader, so ......"
Garissus directly interrupted him, and said arrogantly: "Don't say this kind of thing again, I've seen a lot of orcs, they are not as powerful as you say, in fact, except for being physically stronger than humans, they have no tactical literacy at all, and it is even more unlikely that there will be any leader after the death of the Hammer of Destruction!" ”
Blackmore was silent, he knew very well that the group of orcs at Dunhold Castle had a very different impression from Generalissimo Gathers, but he couldn't directly refute his superior's words.
After thinking about it, he decided that it would be better to cater to it: "Yes, I believe that if you were to command, that group of orcs would definitely collapse at the touch of a button!" ”
Hearing him say this, Garissus nodded in satisfaction.
At this time, a scout came to report: "Report to Lord Garitharsus, a small group of orc scouts has been found more than a mile ahead, and the number is about fifty or sixty!" ”
Garissus instantly lifted his spirits, drew his long sword, and shouted at the cavalry troops under his command: "The twenty-sixth and twenty-ninth companies of the cavalry, charge with me and destroy this group of scum!" ”
Before Blackmore could react, more than two hundred elite Alliance cavalry had already rushed forward with Garithers.
Blackmore, as an adjutant, hurriedly beckoned the large army to keep up with them.
It would only take a few minutes for the army to advance at full speed, but by the time Blackmore arrived out of breath, the war was over.
Garethus' longsword was stained with orc blood, and dozens of orc corpses lay on the ground.
"Vulnerable troops!" Garissus said contemptuously, "I've fought against countless orcs who are much more powerful than this!" ”
"These are just scouts, the real orc army is much more powerful than them!" Blackmore couldn't help but say, he could see that many of the dead orcs were very thin kinds, and at first glance they were raised by the containment chief, and they were not their elite at all.
"You don't know about orcs!" Garissus shook his head: "I have dealt with them countless times, I know their tactics, they usually send the most elite troops as scouts, so the scouts are so vulnerable, the weakness of their army can be imagined!" ”
Blackmore resisted the urge to slap his chief in the face, after all, his future was in the hands of this Lord Gariters.
"Your Excellency!" A captain of the knights came running with a carrier pigeon in his hand and shouted: "Letter from the mayor of Mareb! ”
Garissus opened the sealed letter, read it cursoryly, and then tore it to shreds with disdain.
"My lord, ...... letter," Blackmore asked weakly.
"A coward like Mareb actually told me not to attack this group of orcs easily, on the grounds that his troops had a small fight with this group of orcs in the plains of Hillsbrad, but they didn't take advantage of anything!" Garissus shouted angrily.
How does Blackmore feel that Mayor Mareb actually has some truth in what he said!
"Does he think that the elite cavalry under my command is as effective as his militia?" Garissus was very dissatisfied: "Order all the cavalry to get ready to go, and I will show Mareb why I am the generalissimo of the Alliance, and he is only a mayor!" ”
"Lord Garissus!" Blackmore hurriedly reminded, "Our army can't keep up with you!" ”
"It's okay, you guys should follow behind!" Garissus said with a look of indifference: "With the combat effectiveness displayed by this group of orcs, it is impossible to withstand a wave of charges from my cavalry, I will directly kill their high-level, as for you, just wait to clean up the battlefield!" ”
With that, he had gathered all seven cavalry companies, and then with the sound of horses' hooves, they set off like the wind!
Blackmore froze there, looking at the group of baggage troops and infantry behind him.
"Lord Blackmore, what are we going to do?" An infantryman asked, puzzled.
"What else can I do, hurry up and follow!" Blackmore said directly, and then he thought of one thing: "Send a carrier pigeon to Mayor Mareb to inform him of Lord Garissus's early departure." ”
……
Henie Mareb led about 2,000 militias in Talenmere and Southsea to assemble at Hillsbrad Plains, preparing to wait for the arrival of Garethus' forces before attacking.
In the previous confrontation between this group of orcs, the first impression given to Mareb was that they were cunning! They were few in number, but they did not fight hard with the militia of Mareb, but instead made various detours and waged guerrilla warfare.
Mareb even had the illusion that the orcs were actually led by a human, albeit ridiculous.
He couldn't help but complain a little about Uther, encountering such a serious crisis, Uther did not personally lead the army, but sent this Marshal Garishers.
Mareb still has a certain impression of Garissus, he originally came to prominence after the Battle of Quel'Salas in World War II, and indeed he led his army to kill countless orcs. But most of this group of orcs was the result of their leader Orgrimmar's defeat by Marshal Tulayan, and the will to fight was greatly weakened, which means that Garissus did not fight against a truly powerful tribe at all! Mareb is a little worried that he will underestimate the enemy!
"Mayor Mareb, there are carrier pigeons!" A militiaman came to report.
Mareb opened the carrier pigeon, and it was sent by Garethus' lieutenant, a major named Blackmore.
However, after reading the letter, the veteran's face changed after many years of fighting: "Damn, Garesus is a fool, he actually wants to rely on a few hundred cavalry to capture a castle, isn't he worried about the orcs setting up an ambush in the castle?" ”
He hurriedly beckoned his troops to move forward, and he only hoped that the militiamen would arrive before Garithars launched an attack on the castle.
