Chapter 68: The Battle of the Dark Gate
The war was at a fever pitch at the beginning, and at the beginning, the alliance had a big advantage. After all, they are very well defended.
Orcs can only teleport a small number of people at a time, but with the stabilization and expansion of the Dark Gate, there are more and more soldiers who can teleport at one time, and the pressure on the soldiers of the alliance is also doubled.
The Flying Ravens are not vegetarians either, and after making a lot of sacrifices, they gradually stabilized their footing in mid-air as the number of Flying Ravens continued to increase.
And the Broken Hand Clan is not a vegetarian, and their combat effectiveness is also the top existence among the tribes.
They have an important mission on their shoulders, and they need to occupy this basin, only then can there be enough space for the rest of the tribe to come out, otherwise even if the Broken Hand Clan is iron, it will be consumed by the Alliance.
Armed with heavy artillery and crossbow arrows, they finally approached the soldiers of the Watch Fort after making a great deal of sacrifice, and engaged in a fierce battle with the shield warriors in front of them.
The shield warriors of the Overwatch are well-defended and closely coordinated. The soldiers of the Broken Hand Clan were good at attacking, and the two sides collided violently.
However, the Watchtower was too well defended, and due to Brad's influence, the Alliance's military formation was not just a professional military formation. Rather, it is a military formation with multiple professions depending on the situation.
Mixed with shield warriors are paladins who are not only good at attacking, but also heal their teammates. And in the rear are hunters who shoot constantly, and their pets form the second line of defense.
Behind them are the mages, unleashing their magic with impunity. The Shattered Hand Clan is in battle with the soldiers of the Watch Fort. But it is still facing multiple blows, and it is simply not able to exert its full strength.
Hunters and mages without interference are simply human batteries, and brilliant magic explodes among the orcs. The disadvantage of individual arms is undoubtedly evident at this moment.
Brad's once said it was simple. No profession is not invincible. If it is a multi-class cooperation, the combat effectiveness exerted is definitely not as simple as one-on-one.
To illustrate this problem, Brad once had an epic warrior general pit five heroic warriors against each other, and the five warriors failed miserably. Brad then asked him to fight two warriors and three hunters, albeit a crushing defeat. But it can already pose a threat to epic generals.
The same epic general ends up battling a warrior, a thief, a mage, an angry and a priest, and in the end the epic warrior is defeated. Although this epic general is only the beginning of the epic. But at the time, the result was shocking to many.
This mixed formation again had a profound effect on the armies of the countries of the Alliance, but Brad also made a shape. There is simply no such thing as perfection in this world, and this combination has its own limitations and flaws. He stressed. This is just a simple exploration of cooperation, and I hope that all the generals and soldiers will make the most appropriate response according to the actual situation.
Although Brad said so, this mixed formation really formed the formation. But Brad did not integrate the army in this way, he was telling the truth. No formation is perfect. He didn't want all the Alliance's armies to be like this. The pure professional formation also has his huge advantages, such as pure defensive battle, which is an indestructible barrier. Pure weapon warfare, that is, the torrent of charge, unstoppable.
The mixed formation certainly improves something, but it also makes the team lose its strong excitement. After all, mages. Priest, what kind of profession can't compare to a warrior.
But now this formation is still very suitable for use here, the Broken Hand Clan has suffered heavy losses under the blows of various means of the Watchtower, and they have not shaken the position of the Watchtower for several hours of fierce fighting. Instead, a large number of corpses were left behind.
The means of the Watchtower were diverse, artillery, crossbows. Defend against the defense of the battle, the hunters and mages in the rear put cold arrows. The soldiers of the Broken Hand Clan died in waves.
Carlos has been fighting with Lodenson and Archmage for a long time, although Carlos is strong, but with the cooperation of the two commanders, Carlos can't take any advantage, and the three of them have been fighting fiercely for a long time, and their bodies are covered with terrifying wounds.
Eventually, Carlos retreated, knowing that there was no point in fighting like this.
As time passed, there was a strong smell of blood wafting through the basin, most of which were tribal, but the soldiers of the Watch Fort also inevitably suffered casualties, they had been fighting for too long, many had been fighting for hours on end, and they could not count the orcs who had died at their hands.
"Carlos, you can't do it. If not, let my Bone Eater Clan take the place of your vanguard, and the battle is almost fierce until dawn, and you Broken Hand Clan and Raven People have not even taken a stable stronghold. The chief of the Bone Eater clan scoffed.
"You're wrong, what a stronghold. The League's defense line hasn't backed away a single step, okay? It also claims to be the strongest legion of orcs, and ten people can't kill an alliance, which is really a big joke. The chief of the Broken Bone Clan also said loudly.
These clans used to be extremely xenophobic, except for worshipping the souls of their ancestors in the holy mountain, they almost never drank other orcs, and they were even more murderous, even the orcs were killed, and the other clans were also very repulsive to them.
This time, the tribe withered, and Nao Zu wanted to subdue the Dragonthroat Clan, but he didn't succeed, so he tried to replenish his strength with the mentality of just in case, and only subdued them after killing the opponent's diehards with extreme means.
At that time, the official Carlos, Grom and Kilrog, who carried out the will of Naozu, the three of them used a thunderous method to bring the three clans to the annexation, but the successor chieftain did not have the slightest affection for them although he joined the tribe. Several people don't like each other, but they are obedient to Naozu, which makes Naozu very satisfied, this is the situation he wants to see. He didn't want to be a fierce man like Orgrim and kill him directly to become the leader of the tribe.
"Bastard, you insulted the Broken Hand Clan, your father is vulnerable in my hands, not to mention you little cub, I don't want to crush your head like your father, you just shut your stinky mouth for me." Carlos was now covered in blood, but with his momentum and the look in his eyes that looked at him like a dead man, the two new chiefs felt palpitations.
"You are not worthy of orcs." Kilrog glanced lightly at the two orc chieftains who were suppressed by Carlos.
The two chiefs were very young, and just now they thought of the tragic death of their fathers, but they had died in a fair duel, and they had no reason to seek revenge. Just as Ogrim killed the Black Hand, but their two sons did owe allegiance to Ogrim. The notion that duels are sacred in the hearts of the orcs of the tribe has penetrated deep into their souls.
"Enough, I don't want to see you arguing. Now our enemy is the Alliance, and when we take Azeroth, any grudges you have can be resolved by duel, and we orcs have always spoken with weapons, not mouths. Nao Zu said angrily.
Seeing that several chieftains were quiet, Naozu said with a gloomy face, "The Warlock Legion of the Shadow Moon Clan is ready to attack. At the same time, let them speed up the construction of trebuchets. ”
Nao Zu commanded with a gloomy face, to be honest, he didn't have any actual experience in leading troops, he was a wise man and a guiding existence before, in his original opinion. The soldiers of the tribe are so powerful that if they rush through the dark gate, it will be a victory. But the reality is cruel, and he pays the price for his arrogance. But fortunately, it's not too late to wake up, there are too many people in the tribe. It doesn't take much time to build some trebuchets. But the attack must not be stopped, otherwise the alliance will inevitably launch a counteroffensive. When the time comes, the offense and defense will be exchanged, and if you want to recover the situation, you will have to pay an even more painful price. So he first thought of the Legion of Warlocks, who had recovered. And hurry up to see the trebuchet.
As the battle continued, the Horde's trebuchet was finally built. With the addition of the Horde Trebuchets and Warlocks, the casualties at the Watchfort began to mount.
The demons summoned by the warlock played a big role, and the pressure on the Watch Fortress increased greatly. And after nearly a day of fighting, the soldiers of the Watch Fort also began to get tired. But Lodenson adamantly disagreed with the rest of the coalition's armies accepting positions, and they vowed to fight to the death. In fact, this is also true.
As soon as the situation relaxes, a large number of orcs will inevitably pour out, and the situation of the new legion will be cleaned up a lot. The tribe will have its own cone in the basin.
The army of the Alliance has also gathered on the edge of the cliff above the basin, and the army of the Alliance in the distance is also endless.
Today's alliance has a new marshal, that is, Tulayan, the inertia of history is very large, he still became the marshal of the alliance, but his prestige is completely incomparable with the previous life. He was now unable to convince the people, and in order to facilitate his command, none of the leaders of the tribe came this time. Even Varian, who was desperate to fight, resisted the urge and remembered what Brad had said about what he should do in whatever position, and now he was a king, not a general. If anything happens to him, the impact on the Kingdom of Stormwind will be catastrophic, just like his father's death.
At this moment, the alliance army was gathered, led by Tulayan, followed by Muradin representing the dwarves, and Winlesa, representing the High Elves, who had reached adulthood and followed the same path as her eldest sister. Then there are Ferdin, the others, and there is also a new face, that is the Duke of the Stormwind Kingdom, Vaber, who is a gifted paladin.
Tulayan's face was not very good-looking now, and he didn't expect that the first order he gave was rejected, although he knew that what Lodenson said was also reasonable, but it was really uncomfortable.
Not only him, but everyone else thought of Brad, and this kind of thing rarely happened during his reign. And will that one still participate in this war...... (To be continued......)
