But McDonald shook his head: "You can win by doing this, but the price of winning is too high. Don't forget that our real enemy is not only the Iron Tribe, but also the ancient evil god N'Zoth lurking behind it. Its darkness
The power of the empire cannot be underestimated."
"Then..." Little Anduin hesitated.
McDonald raised the champagne glass handed over by the maid Calpurnia and raised it to the alliance bosses: "Order the entire army! Stay where you are! Let's starve those savage monsters first."
The big guys were stunned for a moment, and then they understood.
Can you think of such a cruel trick?
Dog! Sure enough, you, McDonald, are the dog!
Dark Portal 1, World War II, the most primitive version of the Horde, proved with the lives of hundreds of orcs that infantry alone cannot conquer the Alliance.
Of course Garrosh would not take such an old path, a dead end.
The sad thing is: even if he knows the power of machines and chariots, he knows that orcs cannot use magic, and they can only be strong by taking this path. Knowing this is one thing, but he wants to suddenly change from the fighting mentality of a barbaric nomadic race to
Modern military thinking is normally impossible.
This is Garrosh's limitation!
Not to mention Garrosh, even most of the alliance leaders have spent many years changing their mindset.
Fortunately, they have a monster-like leader, the ‘self-taught’ apocalypse McDonald’s Stratholme. All the military tactics of all the countries in the alliance and the military of all races are based on the Mai family’s tactics.
This allowed them to miraculously transition from backward feudal warfare to modern military. If there was no such thing as extraordinary people in this world, all the knights and aristocracy could be thrown into the endless sea in one go.
Having said that, McDonald's has hit the Iron Tribe's Achilles' heel this time.
Presented on the military sand table are densely packed, pocket-sized versions of tribal flags. Each battle flag represents an orc clan, a goblin army, or a team of ten thousand people.
According to incomplete statistics, excluding the faceless men who don't mind talking down to their own people, the total strength of the tribes gathered in Silverpine Forest, Lordamre Basin and the west of Hillsbrad Foothills now reaches 800,000.
That’s eight hundred thousand mouths!
The orcs are all big eaters. After taking away the tribe's food reserves, how can you ask the tribe's logistics to find so much food to fill so many 'abyss mouths'?
Following McDonald's ideas, Lor'themar helped teach little Anduin: "The orcs of the tribe have always had a martial tradition. When they realize that they will die of illness or starvation, they often choose the most radical and 'honorable' option.
The way to do it is to fight for the enemy and die on the battlefield."
"Then let's..." Little Anduin.
No need for McDonald to give an order, Lao Mo, Haas, Abidis and other veteran vassals all understood it instantly.
The commanders on the Iron Horde side fell into despair.
"What? The portal at the rear was attacked, and we won't receive any more supplies?"
Times have changed. In the past, orcs could conquer their enemies with bare feet, picking up a stone on the ground, or a stick. Now without supplies, the giant chariot that the goblins painstakingly built would have to lie dormant.
"If you don't have fuel, rob the enemy! If you don't have food, collect it from the enemy!" Garrosh's order was quite arrogant.
But he really doesn’t understand that the technology trees of the Alliance and the Horde are so different!
Don't look at the "World of Warcraft" game. In the player's fortress in the Warlords of Draenor version, there is an option to collect oil. The Iron Horde's tanks also use oil, but the problem is that they use heavy oil.
Heavy oil is the remaining heavy oil after crude oil is extracted from gasoline and diesel. It is characterized by simple refining, large molecular weight and high viscosity.
Heavy oil has a high calorific value and a strong flame radiation ability, making it a high-quality fuel for steel production.
To be honest, heavy oil is good in a sense. It cannot be used in precision engines. After all, it is very sticky and can easily jam the cylinder head. But it is not a big problem for large machinery to use this.
Many of the alliance's own mass-produced free wheels are also used.
To put it bluntly, it’s cheap!
But the Alliance's oil smelting technology is better, and frontline tanks and other mechanical equipment basically use diesel!
Well, the fuel was not universal, and the goblins were unable to remove the parts of the captured Alliance tanks and use them for their own tanks. As a result, they did not advance twenty kilometers and all the Iron Horde tanks were out of service.
Without planes and chariot cover, wouldn't the tribes be able to fight?
The centurions and centurions immediately encouraged the soldiers with the great orc traditions. Under the cover of a small number of flying mantid and armored gronn, a large number of orc warriors began to charge towards the alliance's defense line in a skirmish line.
This time, they hit a plate, and it was a 'titanium alloy plate'.
"Boom!"
“Bang bang bang!”
Horde soldiers were constantly being blown up into the sky, including Gronns. However, ordinary orcs stepped on infantry mines, while Gronns stepped on anti-tank mines.
The most annoying thing is that when the goblins they pushed to the front line stepped on those black soils, nothing happened.
After a charge, the painful groans and dying wails of the orc soldiers were heard from all directions, as well as the whining cries of some of the affected goblins.
Many people died, and many more were injured. Everyone stood up and tried to find the nearest commander.
The tribe soldiers gathered together one after another in confusion, and found that half of the people who could fight were less than half.
Some troops lost their commanders. For example, the commander of this vanguard army was pierced by a sharp fragment in his right lung lobe. He had fallen into a coma when he was found.
He started to have a fever and drowsily shouted “lok’tar!”
Everyone knows that this boss must be "ogar!"
The forward infantry of the Iron Horde suffered heavy losses. So many people died, and some were missing arms and legs. If they didn't get timely treatment, they might not survive for a few days. Most of the others were also injured. The key is that they didn't even have the alliance's defense line.
When I encountered it, I could only see a grayish-white band on the horizon in the distance.
That is the continuous wall of the Alliance.
In the past, steel chariots would be used as steamrollers to help them detonate all mines.
Now they could only open the way with their lives, although a new orc commander soon came up to take over the command, encouraging them with slogans loudly.
This was of no use, no military rations were distributed, hunger and disability made the Iron Horde soldiers depressed, and many even fell into despair.
For three consecutive days, the Iron Tribe's front advanced no more than ten kilometers every day.
Every time you advance one hundred meters, you will have to pay the price with the lives of a large number of orc soldiers. Especially when you are close to the alliance city wall, you will be hit by three-dimensional bullet artillery.
Even if you muster up the courage to build a city wall at the cost of tens of thousands of lives, what you will see after climbing over the wall is an endless minefield and a new line of defense ten kilometers away.
Finally, on the seventh day when the Iron Horde's forward troops were out of food, McDonald's air force began to land on the southern plateau of the ruins of Dalaran!
"I declare that [Operation Overlord] has officially begun!"
