Anomaly Of Warcraft

Chapter 450: This Place Is Called Verdun

Once the combat plan is designated, it is almost impossible to change it, especially this kind of war involving hundreds of thousands of people.

The Alliance warriors are not afraid of death, but they cannot conceal the fact that 90% of them are illiterate.

The reason for delaying the confrontation with the tribe for so many days, in addition to the nice reason of tactical deception, the more realistic reason is that Carlos and the officer under him need to implement specific duties.

Manage a team of more than 300 people, the team’s chief officer can do everything by himself, he can have no power, he can be both a father and a mother.

To manage a corps of more than 3,000 people, the generals must rely on their deputies, quartermasters, military judges, military advisers, the following wing captains, cronies, and the soldiers’ eyeliners who can be named, in order to put the general Master in this corps.

The army that manages the entire alliance, please, has nothing to do with personal ability. Even Lothar still exists within the alliance as a face-seller. In fact, most of the subordinates in charge are generals with titles and official titles. It’s not that Lothar is not close to the people, but that everything is fine, and he can’t play with such a behemoth as the Alliance.

Carlos originally had Alterac’s veteran army under his hand, and coupled with the strong support of the Brotherhood of the Iron Horse, this quickly took control of this 100,000 army in such a short period of time.

But with the support of the officers, it does not mean that the war will be won.

If the entire combat plan is highly condensed, even if it is very simple and easy to understand, it is nothing more than infantry in charge of ComeOnBaby and cavalry in charge of ASSWeCan or AssAssIn.

But if an idea is put into practice, it is not a matter of one sentence or a few sentences.

In addition to the Knights of the Silver Hand, Carlos couldn’t think of any other troops that could stand tall in front of the advance of the orc army.

The tide of darkness was not blown out. It hasn’t been long before the Battle of Hillblad ended. Although the soldiers of the Alliance didn’t think that humans would lose, they really once again faced the tide of orcs and counted on the soldiers’ self. There is no difference between self-cultivation and suicide.

So batches are very important.

The thirteen regiments on the front must open up several batches, resist layer by layer, block by layer, and lure the enemy in layers, and at least one day is needed for the cavalry to arrive.

When people are killed, they will die, and the fear of death is just as natural and righteous as if they are hungry and want to eat and sleep. Soldiers can fight the orcs for their father and mother, for the girl next door, for promotion, for revenge, for his puppy Afa, but officials can’t take this for granted.

Will be slapped.

The logistics guarantees that the cavalry’s route, the marking point and the landmark, the material distribution, all preparations have been made, and the last remaining question is who is sent to die.

The legion that resisted the first wave of orcs was no different from sending to death.

Carlosby may put the Knights of the Silver Hand at the forefront. If he did so, he might be able to block the orcs’ offensive, but what’s the point?

The ultimate goal of the entire battle is to wipe out the main force of the orcs in the Burning Plains.

Without mobilizing all the main forces of the orcs, and not giving the cavalry enough room to go around, as long as more than 10,000 orcs return to their fortresses, the alliance will not want to penetrate the burning plain in a short time. If the battle of the Burning Plains cannot be ended in a short time, the consequences are already foreseeable…

So someone must be sent to death.

This kind of thing does not need to open a meeting to talk about the truth. The army commander-level generals sit together to eat and drink, and volunteer in a heavy atmosphere. This is the most common solution, and this time is no exception.

The Brotherhood of the Iron Horse still stands out.

I don’t know if it is a coincidence or a historical inevitability. The Seventh Army, which uses the remnants of Stormwind as the main source of troops, has resulted in this heavy burden.

It is disaster and glory.

With the seventh legion as the main force, the third and fourth legions are on the two wings, and the forces of the three legions are the most resistant to the front line of the orcs. Carlos requires them to persist for three hours to retreat.

In a battle of 100,000 people, the battlefield can have a radius of tens of kilometers. The role of these three legions is to nail them there, forcing the orcs to spread their forces and pull the attacking array large.

The second line of defense is about two kilometers behind the seventh legion. As the thickest part of the force, the seven legions are arranged in a wedge shape. Unless the three legions on the first line are quickly defeated by the orcs, the tribe can only move from the left to the right. Attack in different directions.

The remaining three legions, as reserves, are preparing for counter-attacks one kilometer northwest of the second line of defense.

Orgrim knew that Carlos still had about 20,000 troops hidden on the east side of the decisive battlefield. Carlos was also betting on the nature of the orcs and would choose to take the initiative to attack and pull the entire battlefield to the east. This way the cavalry would march forward. It’s a lot more comfortable.

To be honest, the entire platoon formation on the side of the Alliance is a defensive posture with an offensive formation.

Not the worst choice, but stupid.

Even in order to confuse Orgrim and the tribe’s few brainy orcs, Carlostus intends to play mystery in the formation.

Everything is for the orcs to come out of their nests, and to walk a few miles north.

These few miles are the key to life or death. From the appearance of the cavalry to cutting off the way, the alliance needs this distance to adjust. If Carlos and his infantry regiment do not give enough pressure to the tribe, and the orcs still have reserve forces to guard the midfielder, then the entire cavalry’s circuitous campaign plan is certainly true. A beautiful record can be achieved, but the plan to completely wipe out the orcs will eventually come to nothing.

Depression and dullness inevitably enveloped the entire military camp. Except for the Arathor Empire, human society has not fought a battle of this scale for many years. The battle in Hillblad was fierce, but in that vast land, countless humans used their lives as the price and space for time. Hundreds of small troops spent their lives in the wilderness and among the woods. Fill in a pathway for the future.

The orcs are dissatisfied and invincible.

Now, humans are going to be confronted with the orcs.

This unspeakable emotion permeated the soldiers.

Before dawn, Carlos was already dressed neatly with the help of his attendants. The Judge’s armor was severely damaged during the raid on the Molten Heart. The blacksmiths on the front could not repair these armors made of light cast iron, so Carlos chose another set of armor.

That is a set of armor specially made by Terenas Menethil II for Lothar. Lothar rarely wears it for various reasons, and only used it as a ceremonial dress at certain ceremonies, but this armor is gorgeous The shape is not a hollow flower shelf, the weight of more than 30 kilograms proves the texture of this suit.

Carlos had seen this armor very early and felt familiar. After Lothar’s death, the armor he didn’t like before his death became a masterless thing, and then fell into Carlos’s hands.

When Carlos ordered people to remove those decorative inlays, he woke up suddenly.

Isn’t this suit the Grand Marshal suit!

Simply fill in the nail holes and make up the paint. This set of heavy armor, which is simple and gorgeous, has become Carlos’s favorite.

“The highest manifestation of victory and glory will surely come true today.”
