Chapter 47: The Strange Soldiers of the Hills

Chapter 47: Two days after the Hills, Aurelia's scouts and Prodmore's scout ship brought back bad news at the same time.

The Ranger reports that the Horde, led by Orgrim, has completely defeated Kazmodan, and that the dwarves are missing, and that they have all fled to Ironforge. The orcs seized large quantities of timber and iron ore from the dwarves, and the large ships they built in the harbor near the wetlands could carry hundreds or even thousands of orcs

And the admiral directly brought the news that humans have been waiting for, but are very unexpected--- part of the tribe's fleet has set off, the target is to Lordaeron, they are very likely to land in the bay south of Riptide Castle, that place is not far from the place where the Alliance army is gathered, if they can act as soon as possible, the Alliance can completely set up a defensive position in the place where they landed before the orcs land

"Marcus. Jonathan! Assemble the warriors of Stormwind! "The rallying call sounded throughout the camp, the commanders of each kingdom were gathering their troops, and the order to march from Lothar reached everyone's ears at the first time. Throw away all supplies and baggage, and wait until the battle is won" Windsor tells the knights of the Iron Horse Brotherhood that the time has come to fight the orcs. ”

"I see, sir," Tulayan rode his horse towards the barracks in the middle. There, Uther, Tirio, Dassault Khan, and Gavin Rad had all assembled

"Listen to me, everyone," Qiu Chen said, turning around, behind him, more than fifty knights and cavalry gathered in a column, "Some of you may or may not know me, it doesn't matter, I, like some of you, came out of Karazhan." There are quite a few orcs who come this time, but we can still kill seven in and seven out" Qiu Chen knocked down his breastplate and let them see the power of Stormwind City! ”

"For Stormwind!" A neat response

Qiuchen nodded with satisfaction, "Everyone, bring your weapons and throw away everything that has nothing to do with the battle." Sir Lothar will lead the infantry on a rapid march, but we need to get there first, find the favorable terrain to stop the orcs, and go! ”

However, to Qiuchen's surprise, Aurelia and her ranger also followed

"You don't act with the big army, what do you do with us" Qiu Chen looked at the chocobo under Aurelia's crotch with some confusion. This ostrich-like creature is no slower than a human warhorse, but this mount is not capable of going into battle

"Ranger should survey the terrain and find a good sniper spot before the battle begins," Aurelia said without looking back, "We don't fight in the same way as yours, don't dictate to us, human!" ”

"Why are you so angry with me? Only women and villains are difficult to raise, and the master will not deceive me. Qiuchen shook his head, still focusing on what he was doing in front of him

Hillsbrad is known for its hills, and the whole area is a continuous stream of highlands and low-lying areas, and the good thing is that there are no cavalry in the vanguard of the Horde landing, and the human knights can roam and roam at will. The bad side is that with such dense hills, the cavalry charge distance will be limited, and humans will not be able to gain much advantage from it

Qiuchen and the others stood on a high slope, and the Alliance's troops spread out a defensive line behind the hills. The weather was so good today that they could even see the ships of the tribes on the sea, huge black ships loaded with groups of orcs heading towards the coast

But before they could get close to the coast, Prodmore's fleet attacked. The orcs didn't seem to expect such a fierce attack, and their ships were large but they were transports, and they were not equipped with any defensive weapons. Soon, the orc ships at the front sank under the continuous sound of artillery fire

"For every ship we sink, we can face hundreds of orcs less" Qiu Chen touched his chin and calculated, "If we can have more ships, or use the chain tower to block the harbor before the orcs land, I'm afraid we can win a bloodless victory."

Aurelia glanced at Qiuchen disdainfully, "Hmph, I only know about fantasy humans"

"Cough" Qiuchen choked back with a word

Forget it, the big war is coming, so we won't bother with you

"Prodmore can't stop the orcs, they're about to land" Lothar seemed to want to play a round, staggering the topic "There are too many orcs, we don't have enough firepower"

"They're about to land" Aurelia's eyes were much better than the other humans', and she reminded her in a loud voice, "Prepare your men for a tough battle to follow"

"Tulayan, send the signal" As soon as Qiuchen raised his hand, Tulayan, who was on the side, immediately gave the other heralds a gesture to move forward, and these people gave the order to each captain, and soon, the horn sounded from the alliance ranks, and the army of 30,000 people began to move slowly

As the vanguard moved to the top of the hill, they saw that more of the first ships had landed, and many black figures were concentrated on one side, stepping onto the rocky beach, and then moving towards the hill. Orcs also saw humans

At the forefront of the cavalry, Lothar pulled out Quelzaram "They have come to this land" Lothar shouted loudly, raising his huge heavy sword in the air, the golden runes on the blade shining brightly "Charge!" For Lordaeron! He stepped on his spurs and commanded it forward, the golden lion on his shield shining in the light. Nearly a thousand cavalry rushed down the high slopes, aiming directly at the orcs who had not yet landed steadily

Lothar is not Rafincrest, Qiuchen is so bad that he doesn't have to worry about Lothar's safety, although he doesn't like to think about the current thing with known results, but Lothar's martial arts are still very confident

Qiu Chen was close behind Lothar, followed by five paladins. As the horses galloped, the orcs got closer and closer in Qiuchen's sight, and finally, with only a loud noise, Lothar crashed into the crowd of orcs first

An orc raised his spear and stabbed at Qiu Chen, who was rushing on horseback, Qiu Chen waved the heavy sword in his hand, and the death entanglement hit the orc at close range, and the impact of the shadow energy flew out with the orc upside down, and it stopped after hitting several orcs in a row, which happened to open the passage for Qiu Chen

In this chaotic situation, no one will find out if they use some of the abilities of the death knights, for example, Qiu Chen only needs to boil blood in the orcs, and the humans behind can easily defeat the orcs who are unsteady on their feet.

With a slap in his left hand, he brought down an orc who tried to pull him off his horse, and the translucent blood shield blocked the spear stabbing from the right. In the orc's incredulous eyes, Qiu Chen lowered him to the ground with a backhand sword

Although there are many of these orcs, they are no threat to him, if only he could ride his own death warhorse, the feeling of spiritual sameness is much better than riding an ordinary warhorse

Qiuchen cut through the orc defense line over and over again, but as more orc transport ships docked, the impact of the human cavalry began to decline, and thousands of orcs pounced on the shore, if these humans did not evacuate, it would be a matter of time before they were overwhelmed by the enemy

The number of orcs is increasing, and at first there are still many humans in Qiu Chen's field of vision, but now no matter which direction he looks, almost all of them are green, and the humans in armor are very few against the background of the orcs

While there was no one around, a round clearing was boiled out of blood, and Qiu Chen shouted to Lothar, "Lothar!" It's time for us to retreat! Back to the array! The orcs are all about to land! ”

At first, Qiuchen thought that Lothar hadn't heard, but the latter nodded after knocking down the orcs on the side, "Uther! Order! Let everyone withdraw! ”

Qiu Chen turned around and looked at the orc corpses on the ground, their raid had killed at least a few hundred orcs, but then there was only a hard encounter, "Tulayan, blow the horn, retreat!" ”
