Chapter 425: Bait
The white horse raised its head and roared, and the loud cry exuded Lothar's fierce energy.
He grabbed the reins and stood above the valley, watching the soldiers around him as they descended.
"If you want to attack Stormwind from the Swamp of Sorrows, then this is the way to go!" Lothar turned her head to look southeast, and puffs of black smoke were already rising from the depths of the forest.
"All it takes is the orcs to break into this valley, and all they need to be greeted is death!" He clenched the hilt of his sword and shouted, "Quick! Speed up! ”
"When the ancestors set their capital here, they were indeed prescient!" Ryan rode another heroic horse, located at Lothar's side.
He held the sword and the hilt, and asked, "Lothar, do you think we can win this war?" ”
Lothar hesitated for a moment and said, "I've fought with orcs many times, and we both have some understanding. ”
"The elite warriors who have put all their strength into it, the strong support from the dwarven clan and the mage troops from Dalaran have gathered these forces, and if we can inflict a huge blow on the orcs here, there may not be no hope of victory."
"Now, the only thing I'm worried about is that the orcs probably won't enter the valley so easily, and the other side also has veterans who are well versed in tactics and strategies!"
Lothar's appearance standing on the cliff of the valley was all clearly seen by Chen Li.
Orgrim is no fool, he is an honorary leader among the orcs, and he has a good grasp of the battlefield.
"I'm afraid that with this kind of terrain, the black hand will definitely not rush forward."
Chen Li sat on the horse, and suddenly there was a slight vibration under his buttocks, if it weren't for his superhuman perception, he wouldn't have been able to notice this change.
He pulled the horse and rolled over to the ground, pressing his palms tightly against the hard ground.
The earth transmitted the movement of the orcs moving forward well, and the fine gravel pulsed rapidly in the cracks of Chen Li's fingertips with more and more intense vibrations.
"It's close!" Chen Li's eyes flashed, and he turned over and returned to the horse, "Smack!" He snapped the reins and galloped towards the top of the valley, where General Lothar was.
"General! The orcs are not far from us! ”
Lothar looked into the forest at the other end of the valley, his face solemn, and he thought that he had spotted the orc's movements through the changes in the trees and grass.
"Gather the army and hide from each other!" He shouted one last time, and the sound echoed through the valley.
The order was given, and the figure that had been faintly visible at the edge of the valley quickly disappeared.
"Lothar, do you think we can defeat the orcs?" Next to Lothar's warhorse, stood the same heroic steed, and above it sat King Lane, who held his sword and held the hilt, and asked.
Lothar replied without hesitation: "Your Majesty, whether it is defeat or victory, I will definitely block my own life!" ”
Ryan nodded and said, "This battle is still under your full command!" ”
While the two were talking, Chen Li could already see the bulldozing of the woods, and the orc army emerging from the dense vegetation writhed like a long dragon at the entrance of the valley at his feet.
"The leader is the black hand?" He had a keen eye and immediately noticed the change.
"Stop!" A gust of wind blew from the valley, pouring a little bit of blood into the Black Hand's nose, and he looked up at the terrain in front of him.
"What a great place to ambush! If you give me an army, properly organized, it will be able to annihilate an enemy several times its own here! The black hand rubbed his chin in thought.
"Sentinel! Get out to the front and see if there's a human ambush! "It's about to attack the human capital, and you can't be too careful.
Two wolf cavalry sprang out of the formation and leapt into the depths of the valley.
"Oops!" Lothar had a bad feeling when she saw the giant wolf, "These giant wolves have a keen sense of smell and will soon be able to spot our ambush!" ”
"If the ambush is discovered, then we will have to withdraw our troops and use the walls of Stormwind to defend against the orcs!" His voice unconsciously became solemn, worried about the future of the kingdom.
Looking at the orc warriors who were roaring like wolves below, Ryan was also a little panicked, he took a big breath of air, and asked, "What should I do!" ”
Lothar hesitated for a moment, and when the two wolf riders were almost about to ask about the smell of human soldiers, they gritted their teeth and said, "Your Majesty, you said before that I have full command of this battle?" Is it? ”
"I have a plan, if I want to lure the orcs into the valley, I will have to pay a big price!"
"Although the orcs have a rough idea of the number of our Stormwind soldiers, they don't know that we have a coalition force from Ironforge and Dalaran."
"If I send all the Stormwind warriors down as bait to fight the orcs, and then feign defeat and retreat, these red-eyed orcs will surely chase after me."
"When the time comes, I will order the dwarves and mages to strike, and I will definitely be able to inflict heavy damage on the orcs!"
Lothar slowly spoke her mind to Ryan, the plan sounded perfect, but there were several flaws, one was that the humans below were under a lot of pressure, facing an army that was superior in quantity and quality to herself.
The other is that the timing of the retreat must be grasped properly, otherwise the army will be crushed, let alone tempted.
Chen Li was also secretly frightened when he heard this plan of Lothar, and if he was not careful, thousands of people would die in vain.
"Hmm... Now that the situation is urgent, I can't think much of it, and I can't think of anything else other than yours. Ryan stroked the horse's mane with his hand and said, "Since I have completely handed over the command of the war to you, then it is up to you!" ”
Lothar immediately sent an order for the Stormwind soldiers to prepare for battle.
"Khadgar! I'm going to sit in the valley, and the battle below will be up to you! Lothar called Chen Li again and said, "Jason, you must lure the orcs over this time as Khadgar's adjutant!" ”
Chen Li nodded, it could be seen from the previous battles that compared to Orgrim, the black hand was more emotional and easily driven by bloodthirsty desires.
"Leave it to me!"
He glanced at the two wolf riders below, pinched the ball with his five fingers, and threw it towards the valley.
"Whoosh!" A shrill noise like the neighing of a poisonous snake sounded, and the magnetic ball instantly pierced through the heads of the two wolves below, and the red liquid mixed with the white brain slurry flowed on the ground.
Chen Li jumped down from the high ground of the valley, his black cloak rustling behind him.
