Chapter 060: Defeat
"What's going on?"
In the middle of the battlefield, Orgrim clearly sensed that his offensive was gradually waning......
"Report to the Chief, our rear has been attacked by a group of human troops of unknown origin!" said an orc warrior panting and running up to report to Orgrim.
"What?"
Hearing this, Orgrim slammed the hammer in his hand and asked, "How many?"
"About a thousand or so cavalry!"
"Then leave them alone. Orgrim looked at the routing alliance and said, "Lordaeron is about to fall, order all orc warriors to attack hard!"
"But the chieftain, the offensive of the warriors is waning due to the stubborn resistance of the coalition troops. Besides, we don't have any other reinforcements, I'm afraid..."
The orc warrior didn't say the rest of the words, but the meaning was obvious. I'm afraid they won't be able to take Lordaeron......
Looking at the magnificent city that was about to fall not far away, Orgrim gritted his teeth, he was not willing to give up like this.
"Where's Grom, let him come to me. ”
"The Grum Chieftain and his Warsong Clan are on the verge of defeat. ”
"What's going on?"
Orgrim felt his blood boiling with rage, his hands gripping the hammer tightly, and the wooden handles rang out with protests.
"The Grum Leader used Bloodthirsty Rage while fighting a human general, and after that battle, the Grum Leader passed out. And the Warsong clan, which had lost its leader, was slaughtered by the Alliance soldiers like headless flies. ”
That guy...
Bloodthirsty Rage has long been a proud skill for tribal warriors, but Orgrim knows exactly how much it hurts his people. He had repeatedly admonished Grum Hellroar, and even used his status as a chief to order him to renounce the power he had gained by destroying himself.
But Grum, who had always longed for great power, turned a deaf ear to his words, and his single-mindedness finally harmed him and his Warsong Clan.
"How's the battle going?" asked Orgrim in a low voice. He now knew he had to calm down.
"It's a bit of a bad thing. The orc replied, "The only ones who are still fighting are the Blackstone Clan, the Thunder King Clan, and the Blood Cave Clan. But their offensive has been stopped by humanity and cannot go any further. ”
"What about the Kodo Beast Legion?"
"Most of the Kodomons have been shot, and there are many powerful wizards among the human race, who are using magic to slaughter our valiant warriors in large numbers. ”
Damn it!
Orgrim thumped his chest, "Gul'dan, why hasn't you arrived yet?"
If the ogres led by that guy were here, relying on their warhammers and tall bodies. They can climb the walls and take out the nasty archers and magicians. You can even use a mace to make a big hole in the thick wall.
He wondered why Gul'dan, Kogar, and their clan still weren't here.
He knew very well that it would not take long to cross the Oakland Mountains and Lake Lordanmere, they had been fighting here for a long time, and Gul'dan should have arrived a long time ago.
At this moment, another orc warrior in the distance rushed to Ogrim breathlessly through the layers of beast tides.
It occurred to Orgrim that he had seen this warrior before. He was a close confidant of himself who had stayed in the hills of Hillsbrad. Tegus, yes, that's his name.
"I've got bad news, Grand Chief!" said Tegus, hesitating.
Could it be...
Orgrim had roughly guessed what it was, but he didn't want to hear it at such a time.
"Go on. ”
"It's Gul'dan. Calming down, Tiger whispered, "He ran away." ”
"Soon after you left, he and Kogar took everyone of the Twilight Hammer Clan and the Tyranny Clan south. One of my companions noticed them and asked them why they were going in the wrong direction. Gul'dan killed him with his evil magic. I wanted to catch up, but I knew I had to report it to you, so I hurried here. ”
After listening to Tigers' report, Orgrim gritted his teeth and "gurgled". "Bastard thing, I knew that guy was not trustworthy before, but I didn't expect him to run away at such a time!"
"Chief Chief, it looks like we must retreat at once. An orc beside him said eagerly.
Orgrim turned his head to look at the majestic city in the distance, its golden cloak as the setting sun. His valiant people were fighting bloody battles there, but as a chieftain, he could only sigh.
"Great Chief!" the nearby orcs urged again.
"Order all the remaining clans..."
Orgrim angrily squeezed a few words out of his mouth: "Retreat!"
......
At the same time, Lothar was riding a tall horse, leading more than a thousand of his cavalry to the rear of the orc army. His massive blade of the Wild Lion was like a killing machine, frantically reaping the lives of orc warriors.
And behind him, in addition to Khadgar, there were several familiar faces. Take a closer look, who is it not Xue Huan and his party?
It turned out that as early as an hour ago, Xue Huan, who was at a loss, encountered the Lothar army who was preparing to raid the rear of the tribe. Originally, Lothar didn't know Xue Huan, and even regarded him as an enemy. Thankfully, thanks to Cassius, the general of Lordaeron, they were able to gain Lothar's trust and be helped by him.
However, there are some hiccups in this......
When Cassius excitedly introduced Xue Huan to Lothar, he saw Khadgar beside him frown slightly. After all, there are only a handful of great magicians in Dalaran. And in his memory, he doesn't seem to have the slightest impression of this "great magician" who suddenly appeared.
Of course, the clever Khadgar would not publicize his doubts in public, but a thorough investigation of the background of this "great magician" after the fact is necessary......
In this way, after Lothar told Xue Huan and the others about his plan. They followed Lothar's army and launched a surprise attack on the rear of the orc army.
And the orc army, which had always been committed to attacking Lordaeron, was clearly unable to cope with the cavalry that had raided their rear. I saw that when Lothar's army broke into their rear, all the orcs suddenly panicked. They are overwhelmed, exhausted, and trample on each other.
For a time, the orc army, which had always been in an advantageous position in the war, gradually became chaotic under the encirclement of the alliance. This, coupled with Gul'dan's defection, forced Orgrim to give the order to retreat. The situation in the Alliance Legion became clear in an instant......
