Volume III Kuroshio 47 The Siege of Ironforge Fort
The Death Knights' impact on the plains is by far the strongest of all cavalry, they are not afraid of death, after all, they have all died once, and their armor is really thick, even with the body of a human spear can get up from the ground.
The heavily armed war horse and the knight dressed in an iron man slammed into the opposite position with the most powerful force, tearing apart in an instant, really tearing in an instant! No one's line of defense can withstand it, whether you're building a shield wall or a spear array.
What's even more disgusting for us is that they were originally human beings, and no matter what happened to them in life, they were all our own people, and some of them were even brothers who knew each other. Without seeing the joy of their resurrection, there will be none, they have come to ask for our lives. But I still won't be happy because we survived, I can't be happy at all!
Hum...... These are ...... It's all gone. It's finally over.
Ahem...... Thunder Spear said...... He followed them until he finally reached the troll leader's station, and this time the group of guys didn't even say hello, and directly launched a charge.
The trolls lived in the mountains, all of them were mountainous, but the knights were not too affected by the fact that they were mountainous, they dismounted, ran through the woods, and ran straight towards the troll's village.
You heard it right, it's running. Oh, my God...... Run!
Do you know how much their full-body armor weighs? Our Knights...... At least I wouldn't be able to fight if I wore this armor. It's like you're carrying an adult on your back and you're running and jumping and fighting...... It's just a joke.
And yet they ...... This was discovered later when the battlefield was cleared...... They can run and fight in such heavy armor!
It's not a human, it's a monster!
Lieutenant, have you never confronted them head-to-head?
Hum...... You're in luck. Of course, I'm lucky enough to sit here and tell you this.
They fought on foot as well as on horseback, and when they dismounted, they all gave up their riding spears, some with two-handed swords, others with hammers.
What weapons do you like to use? I mean tight fights.
I still recommend that you try to change the hammer later. I used to favor swords and daggers as well. But now I prefer hammers and axes. Really easy to use.
They use two-handed sledgehammers or one-handed meteor hammers, or claw maces. They also have knives and daggers in their weapon traps, but I've never seen them use them in so many battles, and they use blunt weapons.
The dwarf told me that he had seen a human using a flail for the first time, and he didn't know what it was at the time, but he was impressed by the weapon. Especially the flail on his hands made him feel a chill down his spine.
He said...... If he fights with a race taller than him and uses a flail on the other side, the first thing he probably thinks about is how to escape.
The Death Knights attacked their village, and the trolls' village was barely fenced off, and the Death Knights drove straight in, and the village was immediately filled with wails.
The trolls were actually heroic, but this kind of bravery really didn't have much more use than to increase the number of casualties at this time. Trolls are adept at using bows and arrows, and they are especially handy in the jungle. However, the bow and arrow were largely useless at this point, and even an arrow into the eye did not stop them from continuing the fight, and he said that he saw a Death Knight pull out an arrow that had been stuck in the eye socket and slam the arrow into the throat of a troll before continuing the fight.
I've seen this many times, and it's true.
The dwarves are mostly reckless, but that doesn't mean they don't have fear, and the battle is really ...... Belch...... It scared him out too.
That's why when our army found him later, he ran away, and when we surrounded him, he resisted violently.
Our cavalry is still somewhat similar to the group of death knights, especially the war horses.
After all, these trolls who live in the ice and snow are taller and stronger than the forest trolls. According to the Scouts, they were even much taller than the orcs, but in the presence of the much shorter human death knights, the troll warriors were drastically reduced in form.
As I told you, the Death Knights' armor is very thick, not only does it have a layer of iron, but it also has a thick layer of skin inside, and it is extremely difficult to cut off their limbs at once, and it is almost impossible to fight us.
To be honest, it would have taken a lot of effort to break their arms and legs.
If we get hit in the chest with a hammer or axe, we won't be able to stand it...... I was beaten and almost died.
But this group of guys is different, and it is like nothing to fight after a few hits.
Thunderspear told me that the Death Knight had really stunned the trolls when they entered the camp, and they had never seen anything so resistant and almost unbeatable.
The Death Knights picked up their sledgehammers and beckoned directly at the troll, especially the flail...... The flail of both hands. Thunderspear said that the trolls couldn't defend themselves against their attacks.
This group of trolls is also too primitive, and the armor on their bodies is basically wooden and leather, and the metal armor is pitiful. Under the sledgehammer of the Death Knight, these backward pieces of equipment were crushed by the hammer.
But! There are huge beings in the trolls, and I call them berserkers. This is selected and catalyzed by drugs and voodoo magic. Not only is it huge, but it is also more powerful than the average warrior, and its defense is also higher. But it didn't work, after being surrounded by a group of death knights...... To use the metaphor of a dwarf, it's like a bear surrounded by a fence. Despite being brave, it didn't take much time to be beaten to death by those monsters.
Stoned alive.
The scene was bloody, bloodier than most of the battles. But this kind of slaughter is not one-sided, and even a death knight can't get killed.
You can't chop to death, you can't poke it, you can't smash it...... Ah, it's not that you can't smash it, but you can only smash it if you smash your head, and it's the kind of smashing. Either that, just cut it off......
There is no good way to stop them.
Ha...... Fire...... How so...... It works, but they can still hold out for a long, long time before they burn out.
There is also magic.
In the troll village, there will be some attendants who serve their gods and goddesses, which is what we call sacrifices, and they are all wizards, who study their own voodoo spells.
Doesn't it sound amazing to hear the name?
Hum...... All I can say is...... It's okay, it's a lot stronger than cold weapons like knives and guns anyway, but in the face of the death knights rolling in like a black tide, those sacrificial magic attacks are really not enough to see at all.
Yes...... Yes, you joined the army after the Battle of Hillsbrad, and we didn't count the casualties in the early days of that battle against them! If it weren't for the mage sent out by Dalaran in the later stage...... Hum...... And that's not dozens of mages.
Eight hundred!
Eight hundred!
Almost all of Dalaran's mages were dispatched.
Scold...... I'll never forget that scene.
And how many wizards could there be in the primitive village of such a troll? There are so many dozen or twenty, and they don't ask the gods to dance every day. The most I did in the village was to treat the villagers' injuries. Occasionally, the few who will use magic to attack are the masters of their village. But there are not many such people.
Thunderspear said that the first few hits looked like that, they would use spells like lightning or frost, but such people would often become the focus of the fire in the first place.
So they were quickly stoned to death by the death knight who pounced, and our mages are also very strong, but their spells not only consume a lot of physical strength, but also take longer to pinch the spell later, and the defense power is almost zero at that time.
The Death Knights won the battle, leaving nothing but blood and burnt ruins.
Of course, the trolls also chose revenge, but this revenge was easily resolved by the orcs, after all, the gap between the two was too big.
After that battle, Thunderspear tried his best to send this situation to Ironforge Fort, I understand his feelings, this kind of information is still quite valuable, it would be better if we knew it earlier......
Hum...... To put it mildly, the experience of fighting the Death Knight was all in exchange for our lives, and the dwarves were almost crippled and scrapped at this time. Later, when the counterattack was carried out, it was quite ruthless and very good at fighting, and the cry for Kazmodan resounded through the mountains, hum...... They really want to thank us!
Yes...... But this news was no longer of much help to the people besieged inside Ironforge at this time. The orcs launched an all-out attack.
Goblins are still pretty fast at making siege machines, and these hateful guys are especially fast at chopping down trees! It took a month to storm the city, whether it was a rambling machine, a trebuchet or a ram, everything was ready, and the most terrifying thing was that a large number of artillery and explosives were brought from the south. This time the orcs really made a bloody investment.
When the siege of Ironforge was besieged, the communication soldiers around Ironforge kept receiving news from the city, and this group of dwarves was quite clever in this way, and they changed the color of the lights of some buildings in the mountains to deliver the news. As a result, our Thunderspear brothers soon received the news of rushing to the aid of Ironforge Fort.
Although King Qin had a large number of troops, the orcs' aerial reconnaissance force had already figured out the situation of their advance. So before the siege, the orcs fought countless encounters with the dwarves who were constantly heading to Ironforge.
-It's not unreasonable for our Thunderspear brothers to survive until now, you have to use your brains to fight! It's just that this kind of cleverness is also summed up from experiencing many orc pursuits, and each experience has to take a few lives.
The speed of the wolf cavalry is much faster than that of their war sheep, the advantage of the war sheep is that they are not afraid of steepness, but once their troops appear in the hills or plains, they are easily harassed by the wolf cavalry.
Anyway, our dwarven friends are not vegetarians, and after several sieges and interceptions, Thunderspear discovered the secret, so they did not haunt during the day, and only hurried forward at night.
At that time, the gate of the Iron Fort was surrounded by death, and the cannon rushed after the car was bombarded, and the car was blasted after the cannon bombardment, but it was never blown up.
The dwarves recorded that the first day of attack was blocked, especially at the gates of Ironforge, which were not too damaged. So the orcs attacked again that night, and they tried to blow up the gate, but they were still unsuccessful.
I don't know how the dwarves did it, but when I went to Ironforge after the war, I carefully observed the six gates of Ironforge.
Spectacular! Absolutely spectacular! Nothing built by the dwarves is not spectacular. The gate in front of the orcs failed to explode from beginning to end! Later, when I went, I saw the two gates, which were broken and damaged, but they were not very serious, and there were countless traces of shells and explosives, but the two heavy gates were not broken or deformed.
That door is so thick! It's about two meters thick! The dwarf didn't tell me exactly what it was made of, I felt it was metal, but the dwarf smiled and said nothing.
These are only the outermost two doors, and even if you enter these two doors, there is a very long passage, at the end of which is a huge statue of Brass Whiskers, and on the left and right sides of the statue are two gates.
Unless this passage collapses, you want to pass through it...... It's almost impossible. Because there are countless dark grids above and on both sides of the passage.
I am convinced that without our counteroffensive, this would have become a tomb, the grave of hundreds of thousands of dwarves.
Because not a single dwarf came out of the mountains before our army routed Danmoro's army!
