Chapter 311 Woodpecker Tactics (Subscribe)

At first glance, the scene of attacking Nanhai Town was strikingly similar to last year's battle in Nanhai Town.

In fact, when Duke received the tribal banners from the summons, Duke sincerely looked down on these attacking tribal clans.

Very simple, none of the top ten tribes.

Originally, Duke thought that by hanging the head of the Great Chief of the Black Hand, he could at least attract the two brain-dead sons of the Black Hand, Red* Black Hand and so on.

No.

There is not even a clan that can be named.

The chiefs of the small and medium clans who had their hearts attached to the great chiefs of the previous generation paid the price for their ignorance of current affairs. All of them were regarded as sacrifices by Orgrim for a feint.

There are no death knights, no ogres, no warlocks... Duke can imagine that no matter how many of these fools there are, they will never be able to please Nanhai Town, which has been reinforced for more than a year.

Don't underestimate the gap between the top ten clans and the following clans, and don't think that the orcs have similar combat power.

Why the higher the ranking of the clan, the more able to fight?

Only the most powerful clan can occupy the best territory and the fattest herd. Conversely, because of having a good territory, they can afford more fighters and clansmen.

This state is like a snowball.

Unless a long-distance loss with a heavy loss wipes out its roots, it will be difficult to decline.

Generally speaking, the official fighters of the top ten clans, even females, are rarely less than two meters tall. But the fighters of the clan behind were at most 10 to 20% stronger than the orc peons.

On the morning of March 29, the second battle of Nanhai Town started.

Duke was livid.

It's not because Nanhai Town's defense line is tight, on the contrary, Nanhai Town is impenetrable. Ryan, the army general, still has time to chat with Duke.

Duke was angry that Lothar almost took away all the league's elite.

Those who stayed in Nanhai Town were basically infantry, including 80,000 troops from the Stormwind Kingdom, 30,000 Lordaeron infantry from General Abides, and the newly recruited Storm Mage Corps from Duke, plus the undersized Luo army with only 1,500 cavalry. Dylan 3rd Cavalry Regiment. Others, including the great lord Mograine, all the elites were withdrawn, and they were all taken to the coasts of Nanliu and Beiliu.

"Damn it, how could Lothar treat me like this? Didn't I tell him repeatedly, don't bet lightly? Before confirming Orgrim's banner, you must never overwhelm the elite." Duke lost his temper.

Ryan was a little stunned: "I am very confident that I can defend South Sea Town. I don't think there is anything wrong with Anduin pulling away other elites. Besides, when Terenas and Jayne heard that 200,000 orcs had turned Over there, they were all in a frenzy, and there were almost 10 magical summons in an hour."

Duke slapped the table: "This is the key point. I admit that the orcs will not play fake banners. But Orgrim is definitely a leader with a brain. He doesn't like to exchange a lot of sacrifices for the so-called glory .In Stormwind, he was the one who proposed to detour east and north of Stormwind."

Duke also didn't want to mention the Battle of Stormwind, which was King Lane's eternal pain. Ryan's handsome face twitched a little, but nodded: "Indeed, since then, I have felt that the tribe's actions are often contradictory. Sometimes reckless and rash, sometimes cautious."

"The one who is reckless is the black hand. The one who is prudent is Orgrim, who was the deputy at the time."

"Indeed, this can also explain why the first battle in Nanhai Town occurred." Ryan frowned: "Then you mean that the main force of the tribe is the one who is assigned to the other side of the strait?"

"No, those must be empty ships." Duke was very sure.

"That……"

"Once these ships pass through the strait between the north and south continents, and pass under the Sador Bridge, they will return to a place where they can land in the northeast corner of the wetland, and carry the tribes to kill them from here." Duke said on the military map, After drawing a line from south to north, the ultimate goal is the east coast of Hinterland.

Seeing this line, Ryan, General Tom Seamus, and General Abbendis present all gasped. The icy breath invaded the lungs, making everyone's mouths and noses seem to be spitting out ice cubes.

Those who can reach the level of a general are not single-minded reckless. Of course everyone knows what this means.

Forced by Lordaeron's imminent frontal pressure and King Terenas Menethil's pressure, Lothar had to withdraw most of the alliance's troops to deal with the Horde's frontal attack. If the Horde's frontal army ignored them, the orcs could drive straight in, and within a week they could reach Lordaeron's royal city and destroy the core kingdom of the alliance.

Conversely, the front was blocked, and the tribe landed in the Hinterlands behind. In this area where the alliance has no control at all, if the tribe is allowed to mess around, the alliance will also collapse.

In the Hinterlands, the Horde can take full advantage of its mountain warfare. To the west, you can directly hit Alterac, which is currently the weakest of the seven human kingdoms in the alliance. If it goes well, you can go around in a circle, bypassing the high mountains between the Hinterlands and Arathi Highlands that even the orcs cannot cross, and attack the Arathi Highlands in turn. If you can destroy the defense of the Sador Bridge from the rear, then It is possible to break through the land blockade of the northern and southern continents and pull all the orc troops from the southern continent.

If Alterac is settled, the Horde will have many options: they can attack the Stormwind Kingdom refugee camp in Hillsbrad, and then go west to attack Dalaran.

When Lothar took away most of the main force, the tribe could completely enter the land of no one.

The more Ryan and the others watched, the more frightened they became.

General Abedis raised a question: "Your Excellency, Deputy Commander, didn't you ask Admiral Thorbane to arrange a large number of catapults and ballistas along the strait early in the morning? Such a narrow strait, even an empty ship of the tribe cannot easily pass?"

Duke pursed his lips, and said after a long time: "I know Orgrim, he must have a way to pass through the strait, although I don't know why, but I have already placed my strongest long-range troops there. If the situation is critical, I will take the Storm King's mage group over there."

This is also the sorrow of the traversers.

Doesn't Duke know what that is? Of course he does.

The problem is that after Medivh was possessed, Duke could explain a lot of things with "I can sense evil". However, the tribe's next move, without sufficient evidence, Duke could not convince all parties in the alliance.

The alliance was not started by Lothar and Duke. In the final analysis, the alliance is still a collection of a large number of kingdoms. Even if Duke has proved himself in a good battle, he still cannot use 'intuition' or 'guessing' to command every army in the entire alliance.

"I think it's a typical woodpecker tactic."

Drive the enemy to where you want while hitting east and west.

I'm on a business trip, the update is irregular, sorry
