31 Battle of Hillbride
The orcs regrouped in a short period of time, and the clan chieftain led the clan warriors into battle. The orcs, who had been beaten before, were at a loss for what to do, and once again burst into fierce combat power. Although Amy only wanted to eliminate some of the orcs and let the orc army leave, the orc's stubborn counterattack had already made clear their intention to fight a decisive battle.
On the battlefield of the valley, on the other side of the valley is the kingdom of Oakland, at this time, the king of Oakland, Aiden, is watching the whole battle from the watchtower in the city, and the fierce orcs make him tremble. His kingdom was too weak, and if he faced a wave of orcs, he felt that he would definitely destroy the city. And now the kingdom of Oakland is at the forefront of this war.
In the valley, the hellfire that fell from the sky had been extinguished, but the orcs had made it uphill. Amy has reserved a large number of crossbowmen and mages here, with less than half of the melee warriors. Amy commanded the troops to assemble towards a gentle mountain pack, and the soldiers and mages that had been arranged along the valley disappeared from the mountain path.
After the orcs attacked the hillside, the human losses were too great, and the well-armed orc warriors directly attacked the alliance soldiers with arrows and spells. The artificially dug mountain path is too narrow, and arrows and spells can easily injure teammates, which has become an advantageous field for orc warriors. The human guardians withstood the onslaught of the orcs, buying the ranged classes time in the back.
The army regrouped after retreating to the gentle mountain pack designated by Amy, with the ranged rear warriors forming a standard legion phalanx in front. While Amy waited for the orcs to attack, the orc turned and ran, and the orc descended down the hillside back to the bottom. Amy knew she had been fooled, and sure enough, without the threat of a rain of arrows and spells, the orcs quickly moved towards the mouth of the valley.
Orc warriors are significantly more mobile than human soldiers, and Amy can't keep up with them when she commands the legion in pursuit. Fortunately, there were still 20,000 cavalry to mobilize, so Amy broke away from the large army with the Ranger Legion, and Amy handed over the command of this legion to his senior brother Khadgar. The white-haired uncle was dressed in a white robe, and he was the commander of the mage regiment before, and he quickly took over the command at this time, chasing the orcs with a slightly slower legion.
The orcs in the valley quickly rushed to the mouth of the valley, and the great chief first saw the warriors of the Blood Cave Clan. The human shield wall array is too strong, Gilgro led his clan warriors to impact countless waves, the shield wall array did not tear a single hole, and the clan warriors died a lot.
Gilgro is anxiously directing the orc warriors to open an escape route for the army. At this time, Orgrim came to his side, and Orgrim made a decision to abandon the return to the Arathi Heights and attack the Hillsbrad Hills in his current state.
Orgrim is truly a great strategist, and if he chooses to return to Arathi and kill the humans' shield wall, the orcs will face a flank attack after being overtaken by the pursuing legions of humans. The two orc forces converged and rushed towards the third orc force. The shield wall array is stronger than defense and the mobility is too poor, and the warriors who hold the shield can't keep it as soon as the orcs withdraw it, but at this time, they will be annihilated by the orcs in minutes if they abandon the shield wall and pursue directly.
After the orcs left, the commanders of the shield wall array, Mograini and General Abydis, had no choice but to regroup their troops and form a regular infantry corps to pursue the orcs. At this time, Amy arrived here with the Ranger Legion and the Knight Legion. Amy continued the pursuit after learning of the departure direction of the orc's large army, followed by Khadgar's mage ranged mixed legion, and in this way the three human legions chased the two orc legions.
At this time, the Warsong Clan and the Shatterpalm Clan, led by Grom and Kargas, had already pushed the human legion led by Lothar back quite a bit. Lothar had always been the commander of the cavalry, and after Amy had transferred all the cavalry, Lothar could only command the infantry. The combat characteristics of the two classes are completely different, and although Lothar is an all-round commander, he is not very handy when commanding infantry.
In the orc camp, a burly orc is armed with a giant axe to slaughter the human soldiers in his way. This orc is Grom Hellroar, and his weapon is called Bloodroar, a battleaxe inherited from the Warsong Clan chieftain.
Ordinary soldiers could not stop this brave orc warrior, and at this time, two human warriors armed with war hammers and armor rushed towards the orc chieftain, they were the paladins Uther and Tirio, who had just been established with the Silver Hand. Two paladins, Gavin Rad and Sedan, appeared next to the other orc chieftain Kargas, and Tulayan commanded the army as Lothar's lieutenant.
The paladins fought with the orc chieftains. The outnumbered paladins also pressed the orc chieftain for a time. Although the Legion's overall front has been pushed back by the orcs, the casualties on both sides are about the same, and the battlefield here has always been evenly balanced.
Suddenly, Lothar received a message that Talenmir was surrounded by the Horde. Lothar was scolding Alessandro and Abidis in his heart at this time, believing that it must be the shield wall array led by the two of them that did not play its role as it should. Lothar also knew the power of the shield wall array, so the commander took the blame.
Talenmere was flanked by the legions led by Lothar, and had previously been the town where his legions had been stationed. The town was fortified with a lot of fortifications, but the defenders were too few and could easily fall by storming. Once it fell, the Hillsbrad Hills, where the orcs occupied the second half, fell considerably.
While Lothar was thinking about how to go to the rescue, Amy appeared with the cavalry legion. Amy appeared here, and Lothar instantly understood, and the orc troops in the valley were also freed. Lothar wasn't going to blame Amy at this time, he just wanted to quickly settle the fight and save Tarummir.
After leading the converging orc legions away from the human legions, Orgrim rushed in the direction of the Grom legions, while the wolf cavalry advance party with great mobility gave the Great Chief a new target, a human town with empty defenses. The High Chief told the wolf cavalry to inform Grom, and the orc army headed straight for the human town, after which Lothar received the news of the attack on Tarummir.
Amy's cavalry regiment also spotted the orcs' movements, but his cavalry was too small to pursue, so he had to choose to join the legions of Lothar and rush to the rescue town. Fortunately, the cavalry was highly mobile, and he soon spotted the orcs who were fighting with the humans, and he also saw the battle banner of the commander of Lothar.
Grom receives a notification from the wolf cavalry, and also spots the human cavalry that is hurrying towards him. There were 160,000 of Warsong and Shatterpalm, and Grom knew what it meant to be hit by cavalry. Grom could only make up his mind to retreat in the direction of the human town without fear of sacrifice, and he only hoped that Orgrim would send him reinforcements soon.
Grom and the two paladins testered as they gave orders to the Legion, as did Kargas, and the Orc Legion began to retreat as they were flanked on either side. Grom was beaten by two paladins in a bitter battle, and no matter how strong he was, he could only save his life. Kargas was even worse, having been wounded by two paladins, and the orc legions were also heavily wounded in the flanking attack. As the orc legion retreated, a large number of orc corpses lay on the ground and bled profusely.
As Warsong and the Shattered Palm Clan legions were about to hold out, the orc reinforcements felt the battle, and news of the fall of Tarummere reached Lothar and Amy. The appearance of orc reinforcements slowed down the pursuit of Amy and Lothar, and the fall of Tarummir made them lose the motivation to pursue, and they needed to quickly eliminate the orc legions in front of them in order to support Tarummir.
Before his death, the commander of Tarummere's defenders sent a message that the defenders had been attacked by the nimble Orcs of the Fireblade Clan, and the defenders were swallowed up by the orcs in a panic.
After Amy got the message, she was not surprised by the rapid fall of Tarummir, the orc's Sword Saint troops were really unguardable, especially when they cooperated with the army to attack the city, they couldn't deal with it if they found it.
Amy and Lothar stopped the pursuit, staying where they were, waiting for the rest of the forces to converge, and the first battle of the Hillsbrad Hills began with Amy designing an ambush of the orcs, and ended with the orcs breaking through the siege and occupying Tarummere.
After the battle, the alliance counted the casualties, and the alliance lost a total of 50,000 casualties, and there were still 400,000 troops to fight. 120,000 orcs were killed, of which Amy successfully ambushed and killed 50,000 orcs, the shield wall phalanx killed 20,000 orcs, and the Lothar legion killed 50,000 orcs with the support of Amy's cavalry.
Nearly 280,000 surviving orcs retreated to Tarummir to rest, while among the orcs, the War Song tribe suffered the largest casualties of nearly 35,000, and other clans also suffered nearly 20,000 losses. But the orcs, who had been blessed with a fortune, captured Talenmere and had a foothold in the hills of Hillsbrad.
Ogrimmo didn't blame Zulkin, the orcs paid a big price to save the trolls, and Orgrim decided to take advantage of them. The command of the orcs on the front line was then handed over to Grom, and Orgrim disappeared from the orcs with Gul'dan and Zulkin shortly after, and they now have a big plan to implement.
The regrouped Coalition forces returned to Southsea Town, a battle that was a head-to-head victory, losing Tarummir but wiping out a large number of orc troops. The kings of the kingdoms were delighted, and after Gilneth withdrew from the alliance, they already felt like they were going to lose, and Amy's plan led to an unexpected victory.
Of course, there is also one king who is not happy at all, the king of the kingdom of Alterac, Aiden, who first saw the ferocity of the orcs, and now because of the fall of the territory of Tarenmere, his royal city is exposed to the orcs. Uneasy emotions began to ferment in the king's heart. Daileen Prodmoor, the hero of the seas, did as he promised, and at the cost of half of the Kurtilas fleet, intercepted the orc fleet, and did not let a single Tribal warship land in the town of Southsea Town.
