Chapter 705 Three lines go hand in hand
At the beginning of the war, Charlemagne had already put the secret information network into full operation, and the movements of the Alliance, the Horde, and the Oath would be transmitted to the leaders of the three parties as quickly as possible.
Goyle and Lor'themar discussed the matter of attacking, and after seeing off the Earl of Theron, he took a note from Carrick Frosteye who came to report the latest news.
"I see…"
After reading it, Goel handed it to Garrosh who was beside him, "What do you think?"
After reading the content, Garrosh crumpled the note into a ball, and smiled contemptuously, "Ha! Those alliance **** are quite fast, and we have to seize the time to break through Modereza, but Don't let those humans laugh at you."
"Um."
Guyle nodded calmly, "Our army set off at the earliest time, we can't fall behind the alliance that started later, launch an attack as soon as possible, and capture this gate as quickly as possible!"
Garrosh slammed his fist on his chest with a passionate face and shouted, "For the Horde!"
When the Horde and adventurers began to attack Mordreza, the gate of death, the alliance encountered trouble on the way to capture the deathwhisper post and continue southward.
The process of passing through the snow-capped mountains and entering the permafrost plain below was very smooth, but when we came to the Valley of Lost Hope... a massive army of undead was already waiting below.
On the space battleship Skyfire, Varian frowned and looked at the dense army of undead below, and said to Jin and Calia beside him with some concern, "Although they are all low-level troops...but why didn't Arthas send them all Used to defend the city walls?"
Jin pointed to Ordusa, the gate of desolation in the distance, and said, "The reason is very simple, you carefully observe the top of the city wall."
When several alliance leaders turned their attention to the city wall of the Desolation Gate, Jean continued, "The city wall is just a city wall after all, and the passage above cannot be built so wide. These low-level undead standing on the city wall will not have much effect on the defense." Instead, it will interfere with other undead who operate the meat grinder."
Jin, who built the Greymane Wall himself, knows the characteristics of the wall very well. Rather than pile up these stupid cannon fodder, it is better to use them to consume the vitality of the Alliance on the Great Plains outside.
The dozens of Val'kyr flying in the air in the distance are watching this side, once the alliance soldiers are killed, they will resurrect these corpses as soon as possible, and join the attack of the Scourge against the alliance.
Naxamas, which is more than three times larger than the Apocalypse Fortress, is also suspended above the Desolation Gate. Its movement makes Varian and other leaders very vigilant.
Different from the beheading operation carried out by the coalition forces in the original history, Charlemagne intends to simply solve the threat of the undead in Northrend once and for all, so he did not launch an assault with the Potian and Tianhuo as the core, but moved forward steadily and step by step .
In the original history, due to the extremely large number of undead, Tirion, Varian, Thrall and others had to take risks and implement beheading assault tactics to forcibly break through the Icecrown Fortress when the Icecrown Glacier was not yet stable.
But this also brought about a problem. If the massive undead were not controlled by the Lich King, they would follow their instincts and launch endless attacks on the entire Northrend.
As a last resort, Bolvar, who was devastated by the plague and burned by the flames of the red dragon, stood up and hacked off the Helm of Domination, becoming the new Lich King.
Now Bolvar is not so sad. He still leads the Seventh Legion of the Stormwind Kingdom to fight on the front line. His daughter was even appointed by King Varian in advance as a candidate for the prince and concubine. She has a high position in the Stormwind Kingdom. Why do you have nothing to do? Meow...the Lich King.
While the Alliance and the Horde were fighting bravely to be the first, the ancient oath side was not idle. On the second day after the completion of the frontline position, Jaina led the fleet to transport a large amount of logistics supplies and the main force to the western coast of Icecrown Glacier.
Leaving a small number of troops stationed at the gate of the Hall of Ancestors, Charlemagne personally led the mighty army to the Balagad Castle in the south. First, he sent Mograine as an advance force to attack the Kurgala Fortress.
Since Thassarian sewed the field from the rear and allowed the rebels to enter the Kulgala Fortress in the name of supporting allies, Mograine successfully captured this strong fortress in less than a day under the cooperation of inside and outside. .
Balagad Castle is more difficult to obtain. The construction materials of this ancient fortress are similar to those of Utgard. If there are no siege weapons, no matter how many troops are sent to attack, they will die in vain.
However, there is bad news for the Vrykul people. When the main force of the oath set up a formation in front of the castle and built a short-range teleportation formation, Jaina removed part of the carrier-mounted magic cannon on the Theramore warship and joined the battle against the castle. in the bombardment.
Although the wooden warships used by Theramore cannot withstand the terrifying recoil of large-caliber magic cannons, these 105-caliber magic cannons are enough to make the Vrykul in the castle cry.
Jaina was holding the artifact staff she named Winter Mist, and turned to Charlemagne beside her and asked, "How long do you think they can last?"
Charlemagne spread his hands, "For half a month at most, under this kind of continuous bombing, the soldiers in the city will have to bear considerable pressure, and they may be bombarded on their heads one day. This kind of panic mentality will sooner or later It will spread throughout the fortress."
Because there was a complete plan in advance, the supply of spar for the magic cannon was very sufficient. After bombarding the fortress for ten days, the Vrykul commander in the castle finally couldn't bear it anymore.
If you continue to defend the castle, even if the outer walls are not completely destroyed, the morale inside the city will plummet, and there may be a mutiny, which is not uncommon among the single-minded Vrykul.
In desperation, General Nizhoth, who was stationed in the castle, could only let the Vrykul in the castle rush out of the fortress to fight to the death.
However, as soon as they rushed out of the gate, the Pledge Air Force, which was waiting for work, launched a fierce attack first.
The troops that vowed to go to Northrend this time are mainly tauren, Theramore sailors and death knights.
The Knights of the Apocalypse began to prepare to move eastward to attack the Suture Field after taking down the Kurgala Fortress. The Theramore sailors were mainly responsible for manipulating the artillery and defending the Hall of Ancestors. At this time, almost all of the three major tribes were stationed at the gate of the castle. tauren.
The yak people in Northrend have not joined the oath for a long time, and they don’t know enough about the tactics of the oath, and they lack tacit understanding when cooperating. Apart from obeying orders to hold the front line, they mainly watched the performances of their distant relatives.
Bare is leading the Tianhorn tribe warriors in the headquarters, mainly based on the air force. Their main opponent is the ancestor dragoons flying around the castle.
...But in fact, in the fierce air battles a few days ago, the Tianjiao tribe, with the support of the gargoyles, had already gained an absolute upper hand in the air battlefield, and now they can draw more hands to support the army.
The ground forces are dominated by the Kalimdor tauren led by Hamuur. The tauren are known as the strongest land warfare race. In this small-scale battle, their advantages are fully displayed.
The square at the main entrance of the castle became the focus of the battle between the two sides. Under the continuous bombardment of the Vrykul castle and the rear troops by the magic cannon, the tauren with a heavy two-handed weapon and a tower shield in one hand firmly attacked the Vrykul. His footsteps blocked the square.
Druids and shamans such as Hamuul also used their spells to provide strong support to the front line, but Charlemagne frowned when he saw these shamans who couldn't cast fire and earth spells.
'Sure enough, the elemental riots have a great impact on the shaman...The fire elemental with the strongest attack power and the earth elemental with the strongest defense power cannot be used. It seems that the war in Northrend must be ended as soon as possible. The cataclysm...may not be far away up. '
