Chapter 143: The Battle of Night Town (1)
Night Town, the largest battle in the Stormwind Kingdom since its founding hundreds of years ago, with the largest number of soldiers involved, is about to break out.
The orcs rushed out of the dark swamp like a tidal wave, and following the path previously opened by the humans, they soon discovered the town of Night.
Because the army on the border of the Twilight Forest was defeated too quickly, so that Nighttown, which was a transit point for supplies in the rear, did not have time to respond, and a large number of strategic materials were piled up in the town, if Nighttown was breached, a large amount of supplies would be cheap orcs.
The orcs are strong enough, and when they are not wearing armor and holding stone axes, they are already a headache for the kingdom's army, and if they get the armor and blades in Night Town, no one dares to imagine how bad the situation will be.
The armies of orcs armed with steel weapons are definitely the most terrible nightmare for the kingdom of Stormwind, and the orcs wearing the equipment originally intended for the kingdom's army are killing and plundering the kingdom's land, just thinking about it is heartbreaking.
The Rhine would not allow such a thing, neither would Vortagen, nor would the members of the noble council. After all, the Twilight Forest is the territory of the noble council, and the nobles don't want their homes to be smashed by orcs.
However, once the beast of war is out of the cage, it is no longer something that anyone can control if they want to.
The orcs who ended the war with the Draenei invaded Azeroth, and their strength was greatly superior to the unprepared soldiers of the Kingdom - although only temporarily, it cannot be denied that the orcs had the advantage in the Twilight Forest at this time.
The orcs who have been in battle for a long time do not need the commander's orders, and as soon as they find Night Town, they will stop and regroup outside the town. Depending on that, the orc attack will come in half an hour at most.
During this time, if the human army in the town could not organize its defense, then the night town would only be taken by the orcs in one fell swoop.
Fortunately, there were many veterans who had retired from the battlefield and took turns to rest in Night Town, and when they found out about the enemy, they spontaneously organized themselves and built a defensive line under the leadership of two officers.
Standing on the wall of Nighttown, low enough for a prancing horse to step on, Marcus spat on the ground, his eyes observing the entire team of orcs outside the town, and said to Reginald beside him, "I said Old Wen, are you sure to defend it?" ”
Reginald didn't have time to talk to Marcus, he had to observe the enemy situation and mobilize his soldiers, and he was very busy.
Night Town was originally a large rear, and although there were fortifications here, they were all hastily dealt with, as you can know by looking at the low town wall. Trying to use these to stop the orc's attack is tantamount to a fool's dream.
Not to mention anything else, the city wall that is the most headache for the besieging side in the city defense war, the orcs can jump up with a run, can this fortification be used?
"Marcus, if you're bored, come and help me see where those big guys are."
Reginald had to rejoice that Nighttown was a staging point for the army, and everything needed for the war was here. Not to mention weapons and armor, there are even ten bed crossbows, the big killing weapon used to defend the city. As long as these big guys are set up in the right place, Reginald believes that they will cause ** annoyance to the orcs.
Marcus turned a blind eye to Reginald's busyness, and even more so to his complaints, he maintained his original posture and said, "Where do you see that I am idle, I am observing whether the enemy situation is good." It's hard to imagine that there are so many of these guys, who are not much stronger than beasts except for being able to walk on two legs. Also, we just received a message from the adults to leave the front line, and within a few days, the kingdom had been defending the defense line for many years without any problems, and was defeated by the sudden increase in orcs, don't you think there is a story in it? ”
"Shut up, Marcus!"
Reginald glared at Marcus fiercely, scolding his companion sharply, while carefully looking around, and only relented when he noticed that the closest person to the two was five meters away.
"Think before you speak, should you say these words?"
It's good that people know something, but if you say it, you're asking for trouble — I know everything, but I just don't say it.
Marcus smiled, he said it when he thought of it, and he didn't care if he would be overheard, and he almost made a big mistake. If what he just said was heard by someone who cared about it, he and Reginald would be in danger, and even Karazan would be implicated.
Seeing that Marcus didn't dare to speak up, Reginad lowered his voice and whispered in a volume that only the two of them could hear: "The Lord sent warlocks to investigate the situation in the Dark Swamp many years ago, and I believe that no one in the entire kingdom knows more about the orcs than the adults. I'm afraid that the adults would have known about the orc's attack this time the moment they sent their troops, and the reason why they didn't say it must have their own considerations. Don't forget our purpose, this is our opportunity, if we can seize it, we don't have to work hard in the army to get seniority, it takes years to get a chance to be promoted. ”
Speaking of seniority, Marcus agrees: "Yes, this is an opportunity. As long as we can keep the night town, those old guys who love seniority can't suppress us, uncle, I hate those old immortals who have no ability and can only rely on their old age to hold their positions and not move their butts. ”
Marcus and Reginald are not happy when they mention this, they have not been promoted to generals after fighting for so many years with their talents and achievements, not because they are not capable enough, nor because they do not have enough military achievements, but some people feel that they are not qualified enough, and they are pressed not to give them promotion.
In fact, this situation is very common, those old people who rely on seniority find that a young person has the drive to rise quickly, and they will suppress it out of jealousy - how many years did it take me to rise to this position, why can you sit on it at such a young age, no, I have to press you and let you boil up your qualifications. Young people, you have to sharpen your sharpness, and you can't show your edge too much.
"In short, this is our chance, if we do well, we can be promoted, if we fail, remember to run faster, don't lose your life."
Reginald walked away, and there were already soldiers pushing the bed crossbow, and he had to arrange where the bed crossbow was erected.
Marcus looked at Reginald's back and muttered, "Old Wen, you're too careful, we're going to fail?" How is this possible. The orcs can be killed just by using the supplies in Night Town, not to mention that we don't lack manpower. ”
More than people?
Hmph, Uncle will make you look good, filthy beast. Your ugly heads will be a stepping stone for my promotion, and I, Marcus, will use your corpses to pave a path to promotion.
