Chapter 0089 Military Council
A month after arriving at the assembly site, early one morning in the Wing Commander's cabin.
"This place looks so familiar." Wu Hao stood in front of a military map with a height of nearly two meters and a width of 1.5, carefully studied the various strategic fulcrums marked on the map, and finally stopped at a mark with a city symbol drawn on it, which was located several hundred kilometers north of the current direction of the military camp.
After thinking for a while, Wu Hao suddenly realized: "Isn't it the location of the Scarlet Monastery?" ”
In the 60s of the previous life game, Wu Hao's first full level was the Undead Thief, and the copy of the Scarlet Monastery located on the edge of the map northeast of the Tirisfal Glade can be said to be cooked, after all, there was no such thing as a random copy back then, and every time he entered the dungeon, he had to run over with his feet, and he might have a few fights with the alliance on the way.
"The memories of my past life are even more blurry." Wu Hao felt a cold sweat break out on his back.
If it is something else, such as the name experience of a lesser-known NPC, then it is reasonable for Wu Hao, who has traveled through the Warcraft version to the 7.0 period, and can't remember the things of the old world of the game, but the Scarlet Monastery is a precious memory that every hardcore player will never forget, and it will definitely not be forgotten so easily.
The only conclusion is that the side effects of crossing have become greater.
Regarding the problem of the loss of memories in his past life, Wu Hao had already discovered it as early as when he was in King's College, so he wrote a thick notebook that was placed close to him, but even if he wrote more, he took it out from time to time in the past few years, but the content about the memory of his past life became more and more thin, like a dream-like cloud.
Lost memories aren't limited to gaming.
It's all.
"Traverser, I'm a traverser..."Silently emphasizing this point in his heart, Wu Hao tried to recall the people and things in his memory in his previous life, and found that some things that should have been remembered were still fresh, but now his head was empty, and even those relatives and friends before the crossing, it seemed that there were not a few people left who could be recalled by him.
Even the faces of the parents became a little blurred.
And those memories that did not belong to him, which should have been Wu Hao's native body of Azeroth, began to occupy his mind little by little, and most of those memories were memories of playing in the fields as a farmer child, having dinner with his parents and sisters, and being reprimanded by local noble soldiers.
Obviously, at the point in time he had crossed, those people would have died a long time ago.
"Will there be a day when I really forget my original identity and forget that I am a time-traveler?!" Wu Hao, who was full of gloom, thought about it, and suddenly jumped out of his mind with such a sentence, which made him feel like he was falling into an ice cave, and a huge fear made him stunned in place, and his whole body trembled unnaturally.
Syllable!
A hand slapped heavily on the shoulder.
"William, what are you doing?!" A woman's voice appears from behind.
Frightened and trembling violently, Wu Hao fell to the ground with weak legs in shock, but instead frightened the people behind him and turned to Wu Hao's front, looking up in a cold sweat, he found that it was Marlan in military uniform, and Bridget Abidis who was also fully armed and holding a helmet in his hand.
"......" looked at the two women blankly, and Wu Hao showed a bleak smile.
"! Why do you look like this? Malan frowned and said, "Tell you not to think about women for a day!" ”
Wu Hao's reaction made Marlan very dissatisfied, and after a few words of blame, he walked to a wooden chair in the tent and sat down, seemingly not caring about his strangeness at all, but Bridget Abidis saw that something was wrong, opened her mouth to say something, but still chose to be silent, and also walked over and sat down next to Marlan.
Today the deployment of operational countermeasures will be arranged.
The siege is about to begin.
After kneeling and shaking for a while, Wu Hao could be considered to have woken up from that terrible fear, took a deep breath several times to adjust his mood, and kept silently repeating that he was a traverser a few times, he slowly stood up from the ground, raised his sleeves to wipe the cold sweat off his face, walked to Marlan and sat down, waiting uncontrollably.
There is still a moment left when the military council will be held.
"Okay!"
"Did you last week..."
"Yesterday there was another unit of defectors..."
"These defectors are now known to run away, what a bunch of idiots."
“.....”
A whole month had passed since they had changed direction and arrived at the assembly area, and the number of regular troops, the private armies of the local lords, and the noble convoys that had arrived in various places had exceeded 25,000 people, and it was not until a week ago that no one came to assemble, and the continuous camp of military tents could not be seen in the mountains and forests.
The number of people exceeded Wu Hao's expectations.
But it only occupies less than half of the assembled troops.
Of the more than 25,000 people, nearly 20,000 belonged to the 15th Wing of the Eastern Lordaeron Legion.
The total number of the wing is 50,000 people, consisting of a 10,000-person main team and eight columns of 5,000 people, such a force is a powerful force that can be alone even in the orc war, after all, the full number of the eastern Lordaeron army is only one million people, not to mention that it has been seriously damaged in the orc war.
On the other hand, it is also evident that the rulers of the kingdom attached great importance to the power of defectors.
This is not the first few years of the Orc War, according to reliable sources, a powerful army of the Orc tribe composed of the Frostwolf Clan and the Warsong Clan is roaming the Hillsbrad Hills, Silver Pine Forest, Alterac Mountains and other places, and the main forces of the three major legions that were once again assembled in the royal city a few months ago are now fighting in these three places and tribes.
The three major legions together currently have at least nearly two million people.
The number of the tribe was far less than that of the three major army corps, but it relied on the method of constant mobile guerrilla warfare, and fought several great victories in succession, and the most radical central army of the kingdom, which had already lost more than 100,000 people, could only follow the tribal army to eat ashes, and was unable to successfully encircle and destroy the new tribe.
This is evident from the fact that an entire wing was drawn out to clear the defectors in this situation.
Regarding the intelligence on the front line, of course, it is not something that Wu Hao, the squad leader, can remove, not to mention that Wu Hao, even if he is the captain Herman and the column leader Philinsant, he doesn't know even the slightest bit of information, and these things on the battlefield are all quietly told to Wu Hao and Marlan by Bridget Abidis in private.
It's also interesting to say.
When Wu Hao sent a letter to Wangcheng and received Arthur's reply saying that he would postpone the celebration, Bridget Abydis's attitude towards him and Marlan also changed more obviously, although he still looked cold, but he was not as silent as before, and exchanges began to appear during the formulation of battle plans and battles.
"Most of them stole the letter and guessed something." Wu Hao analyzed.
The lords and nobles of Azeroth are not all in one piece.
Except for a small number of big nobles at the top, most of the lords and noble territories are actually scattered throughout the kingdom, and this time the surrender of the defectors on the east side of the Tirisfal Woodland, in addition to the regular army of the Eastern Lordaeron Legion, the local lords and nobles also sent all their troops.
Combined, the total number is close to 10,000.
I have to say that this number is also beyond Wu Hao's expectations.
You must know that the private armies of these lords and nobles gathered now are only one-third of the land on the east side of the Tirisfal Woodland, and most of them are in the marginal areas, if you multiply this number by three, plus the big noble territories that are not as good as the Agamande family, the number of private armies will be at least 70,000 or more.
Because of the existence of the royal city, there are relatively few lords and nobles in the Tirisfal Woodland.
In places like Lordaeron in the west and Lordaeron in the east, the number of lords and nobles is not only very large, but also has a large number of fiefs of big nobles, and the kingdom of Lordaeron is the synthesis of the private armies of all the nobles of the land, I am afraid that it is more than 400,000, which is still the number after the heavy damage of the second orc war.
The huge kingdom with three maps is indeed the most powerful human kingdom in the current timeline.
Wu Hao, who figured out this, praised more than once.
The reason why there are only more than 25,000 people in this assembly area is because too many troops are assembled to put a lot of pressure on logistics, and on the other hand, there are more than 30,000 people scattered in the mountains and forests to build strategic fulcrum posts to block the possibility of defectors escaping.
The wooden house of the wing commander is naturally not as simple as that of the commander of the brigade and column.
At present, there are nearly 500 single wooden chairs in this wooden hut that is almost a modern large theater, and three days ago the commander of the wing has given an order to summon all the backbone of the army at the squadron leader or above to the military council, and to make detailed arrangements for the next attack on the defector's city.
The position where Wu Hao and the three of them were sitting was at the edge of the right rear of the wooden house.
The so-called backbone of the army here does not refer to all the officers, but all the real officers who are active in the forefront of the battle and lead the team to participate in the battle, but those personnel who have gathered the number of people, disguised protection, and logistical baggage are not qualified to join this large-scale military affairs conference.
If it weren't for Wu Hao's special identity, it wouldn't be fun.
A person at the level of a wing commander can already be regarded as a high-level military officer, and in the previous life, the army was at least at the level of a military commander in the army, so Wu Hao was very sure that his identity had already been known by the other party, even if the next siege plan was issued, his Malan squadron was estimated to be assigned some unimportant task to protect.
Not to mention that Bridget Abydis is also on this small team.
Experiencing a war doesn't mean joining it, it's okay to see it for yourself.
However, one thing that Wu Hao was more concerned about was that there were not so many troops before, Bridget Abydis and Marlan together could be regarded as a last resort, and now that the army has been assembled, it is completely possible to arrange two armies to protect the two of them separately, but they have not waited for the official military order.
"It's weird." Wu Hao shook his head: "Doesn't this crazy woman hate me very much?" ”
While Wu Hao was thinking wildly, the wooden house was gradually filled with people, and under the supervision of more than a dozen prosecutors, the wooden house, which was originally full of discussions, quickly quieted down, and after a while, several senior officers walked up to the front of the wooden house, and after a brief introduction of themselves, they began to get straight to the point.
The Military Council officially began.
