20 Stormwind Attack and Defense (II)

No matter how powerful the city wall is, there is a day when it is blown down, and Stormwind City is the same, it has been baptized by stones for 3 consecutive days, and some of the city walls have cracked.

Looking at the walls that were about to be breached, the soldiers of Stormwind could not even fight back, and the only effective artillery shells had been used up.

At this time, Amy proposes a new battle plan, opening the door to meet the enemy and closing the door to fight the dog. This plan is risky, but Lothar and the others have no choice. In their concept of war, there is only one way to defend to the death, and they feel that by putting the enemy in the fight, they feel that they are surrendering. But once the city gate is breached, it can only be fought to the death, and now the evacuation of the civilians has not been completed, and at the same time, all the soldiers cannot be allowed to die, otherwise what will be used to restore the country.

According to Amy's plan, the remaining civilians were placed in the docks of Stormwind, while the army was also left behind to protect them.

Amy planned, in the buildings on both sides of the city gate to reserve elite ambushes, and at the same time to enable four urban street battle defense lines to obstruct and attract, and finally some soldiers out of the city to meet the enemy to lure the enemy deep, and then put in enough enemies by the elite ambush soldiers to kill out of the closed city gate for encirclement and killing, the most critical plan is to close the door, and if the door is not closed, it will open the door and surrender.

The next day, the orcs continued to fight with siege engines, Marshal Lothar led the cavalry to open the door and lined up, after the cavalry harassed a wave of orcs with bows and arrows, the orcs began to frantically attack the cavalry team of Lothar and others, and the cavalry retreated and opened the operation codenamed Closing the Gate and Fighting the Dog.

With 100,000 defenders and 300,000 orcs, the difference in numbers is desperate. Amy only wanted to let less than 50,000 orcs into the city to fight, the large number of orcs trebuchets affected the speed of their follow-up troops, and the fact that Stormwind City was not so wide also limited the orc's advance.

Lothar's cavalry led the furious orcs into the city, and what awaited them was all sorts of arrows from the buildings, and the infantry joined in the battle, and the orcs swam in like a tidal wave.

After a chaotic battle, the soldiers of Stormwind began to retreat under the support of a dense array of bows and crossbows, and the crossbowmen who had completed their mission were transferred from the reserved safe passage.

In this way, the orc troops were drawn directly to the third line of defense of the city, and no one noticed that there was anyone in the building near the city gate.

It's almost 40,000 orcs, Amy roughly calculated, he arranged 10,000 elites in the vicinity, and a large part of them are mages, and mages can hide in the city, which is more than one point stronger than in the wild.

Amy led the people to kill, attacking the city gate position from both sides, the orcs who entered were quickly compressed and then cut off by the waist, Amy led this part of the people to kill the city gate, and the other part of the people formed a defense line to resist the counterattack of the orcs who entered before.

The gates of Stormwind City allow up to dozens of people to pass through at a time, and Amy alone tore open a hole and inserted it like the influx of orcs, and the battlefield became dozens against dozens in an instant, and the orc army was forcibly pushed out, and then the gate was closed.

The plan to close the city gate succeeded, and the fire oil between the city's defense lines was also ignited by Amy, dividing the battlefield once again. The defenders of Stormwind quickly slaughtered all the orcs who had entered the city.

At this time, the orcs who remained outside also began to forcibly attack the city, and Amy immediately organized soldiers to defend by the city wall, and the city defense measures that had not been used before showed their might at this moment. The wood and boiling oil directly strangled the orcs who attacked with siege ladders on the city wall, and Amy burned another fireball to death. Unable to attack, the orcs could only continue to baptize the walls with trebuchets, but this was a wise decision.

Three hours passed, and not a single orc escaped from the city, and not a single orc climbed over the walls to reinforce him. The gates opened, and a pile of orc corpses was thrown out, and no orcs dared to rush through the open gate.

More than 50,000 of the orcs were killed in the city, and more than 10,000 died in the storming of the walls. Stormwind's army has been reduced from over 100,000 to over 60,000.

After that, Stormwind opened it several times, but no orcs forced their way in, and in the face of the arrows of human soldiers, the orc warriors wore infantry shields like humans. Such a change was also unexpected by Amy, the orcs actually obediently restrained their violent killing attacks, and learned to play defense with humans.

The orcs are inherently strong, and although their armor is rudimentary, their strong physique makes up for the problem of backward armor. Orcs can still fight when they pull out their arrows, and they can only be killed if they hit the vital point. Melee combat and spells work better, now that orcs use shields, mages' combat power is also affected, and human warriors play mages either dodging spells or blocking with shields.

In the days of the siege of Stormwind, good news finally came, the battleship of Kurlatis had arrived. A total of 10 warships and 50 transports. It's loaded enough to take the entire population of Stormwind with you.

Stormwind's sea power is relatively weak, and the small water mark built at the dock is also shallow, and only transport ships can enter the docks, and under the arrangement of Lothar, civilians will be transferred by transport, and soldiers will be transferred by warships. Soldiers had to swim for a while to land on the ship, so soldiers who couldn't swim were sent to the western wilderness on a transport ship to transport food. The mages were in poor physical condition, and after the orcs began to use them, the damage was not as good as before, and they were also arranged to be transferred with the civilians.

In an instant, there were less than 20,000 soldiers who had the task of defending the city, but 20,000 soldiers were enough to hold the city walls.

The orcs also discovered that a large number of ships were coming to Stormwind to transfer the population, and the orcs were attacking more and more fiercely. Finally, under the onslaught of trebuchets and strong attacks, the walls of Stormwind fell.

At this time, the population transfer continued, and the soldiers defending the city relied on the city's defense line to engage in street battles with the orcs, and when the gates of Stormwind were opened, a large number of orcs poured into Stormwind. Before, the orcs were tricked, which made them angry, and at this moment the anger of the orcs can finally explode, and the orcs after the process will cut people when they see them, and kill them when they meet them.

Under the desperate and stubborn resistance of the soldiers of Stormwind City, the city's defense line was compressed to the third layer, and most of the 20,000 soldiers were killed and wounded, which was not enough for the retreat of their compatriots, and they still resisted without hesitation. When the battle line was pushed to the dock defense line, all the civilians boarded the ship and evacuated, and under the cover of the battleship's artillery fire, the soldiers who could still move jumped into the sea and swam towards the battleship.

Some of the soldiers who were wounded and could no longer swim put up a last stand, strapping the remaining gunpowder to their bodies and igniting it, and then rushed to the orc pile and blew themselves up. This was also deployed by Amy before the final retreat, although it was cruel but effective, the orcs were stunned by these soldiers who were not afraid of death, and a wave of explosions bought the living nearly 1 minute.

The soldiers who escaped into the sea alive silently shed tears when they heard the explosion, and the navy of Kurlatis saluted these ordinary heroes.

Amy also gave her last gift to the orcs at this time, and he used the star to detonate the gunpowder and oil prepared in advance, and Stormwind was engulfed in flames and explosions in an instant, and countless orcs died in it.

Throughout the Stormwind Siege and Defense Campaign, more than 50,000 Stormwind soldiers were killed and nearly 100,000 orcs were killed or wounded. It seems to be a good statistic, of which 50,000 were strangled by Amy's pit into Stormwind, 20,000 died in the siege, 20,000 were affected by the final Stormwind flames, and less than 10,000 died in normal front battles.

Moreover, this data was generated under many favorable factors such as the orc tribal chieftain did not participate in the battle, Lothar, Amy and others fought desperately with the soldiers of Stormwind City, relying on the advantages of Stormwind City's city defense.
