Daelin Proudmoore boarded the troop transport from his huge flagship and set foot on the grounds of Tiragarde Castle for the first time.
As the leader of the most powerful naval force in the world of Azeroth, Daelin Proudmoore's flagship has the unremarkable name "Sea King", and this "Sea King" has been named after two warships.
A "Neptune" has followed his son into the endless sea.
No matter which world it is in, the navy always has some strange superstitious behaviors. For example, the navy and pirates in the world of Azeroth believe that sunk ships are unlucky, and their names are basically
It is archived and no longer used.
But the "Sea King" is an exception. Daelin Proudmoore uses this to commemorate his eldest son. As the king of Kul Tiras, he occasionally makes exceptions, and naturally no one objects.
In order to deal with the orcs of Orgrimmar and the tribal forces composed of the chaotic natives and lower races that the orcs had attracted, Daelin Proudmoore mobilized almost all the troops he could mobilize this time.
In the second Orc Invasion War, the navy of the Kingdom of Kul Tiras that participated in the war faced the Orc Navy with the help of dragons. It was defeated steadily and suffered heavy losses. It has not recovered its strength to this day. This is why
One of the reasons why many pirate groups have become more and more popular in recent years.
Daelin Proudmoore doesn't like the orcs, because the original Kingdom of Kul Tiras was not strictly an island country, but it was brutally maimed by the orcs and turned into a closed country like the Kingdom of Gilneas.
Tragic situation.
He naturally knew the fierce fighting power of the orcs, so he chose to send troops at this time, because the orcs had not yet established a firm foothold in Kalimdor. This was Daelin Proudmoore's only and best chance to defeat the orcs.
He now has more than 20,000 troops. Daelin Proudmoore does not expect Theramore to send troops to assist. He just wants to use it as his logistics base and port. After all, it is the city built by his daughter.
, Daelin Proudmoore is not shameless enough to seize his daughter's power and influence.
After resting for two days, the marines who came ashore gathered together and rushed towards the north in a mighty manner. Daelin Proudmoore knew the orcs too well, so he finally led the war to the city of Orgrimmar.
.
These green-skinned beasts must be taught a harsh lesson! Daelin Proudmoore looked gloomy. Since the end of the second Orc Invasion War, the Kingdom of Kul Tiras he represents has been at odds with the Alliance. There are many reasons.
Simple, Daelin Proudmoore hopes to kill all the captured orcs.
The Alliance, mainly the senior leaders of the human kingdom, believe that imprisoning the orcs, studying their customs, and understanding their origins is far more important than massacre.
Daelin Proudmoore's proposal was rejected, so he left angrily. Since then, the relationship between the kingdom of Kul Tiras and the human kingdom on the land has not been harmonious.
In provoking the war this time, Daelin Proudmoore was also very rational. He did not think that relying on the navy under his ashore could completely wipe out the orcs and tribes. As long as the city of Orgrimmar could be destroyed, the orcs could once again become
A plate of loose sand would make him very satisfied.
To the northwest of Tiragarde Castle, among the hills of Durotar's red soil, the Admiral's army discovered a group of orc wolf cavalry scouts. They were stationed at the top of the hillside from a distance, observing the advancing troops.
Army.
Without Daelin Proudmoore's order, a group of human cavalry rushed out, but the wolf cavalry did not come forward to meet them, but turned and retreated.
"These damn beasts!" Daelin Proudmoore put down his telescope. He was riding on a war horse. Although it is famous for its navy, the Kingdom of Kul Tiras, like all human kingdoms, is
There are cavalry, and there are several excellent horse farms among the many islands in the kingdom.
Then the army of the Kingdom of Kul Tiras encountered the Horde army that was waiting for them. Tiragarde Castle is not far from Razor Hill, only about a day away. There are many low and undulating mountains in this barren land.
Hilly, of course, to say hilly is an exaggeration.
The highest slopes of those hills are only a few meters, otherwise Prell would not have been able to see the outline of Tiragarde Castle from the observation tower on the top of the northern mountain of Razor Ridge a few days ago.
This is a rare piece of open land between the two places. Before the war, the tribe had already cut down and cleared all the large cacti and some low trees.
Seeing the Horde army opposite, including orcs, trolls, tauren, gnolls, kobolds and a small number of harpies, Daelin Proudmoore laughed silently. This was consistent with the information he had received about the tribe.
The information is consistent.
Instigating the centaurs to attack the tauren was indeed the result of his secret bribery of the centaurs and quillbacks, but now it seems that the centaurs did not play their due role.
But it doesn’t matter anymore. Daelin Proudmoore never thought he could defeat the orcs with trickery. Although he was the one who started the war, the admiral did not have any contempt or contempt for the orcs. He only had hatred for the orcs.
, and is also full of anger towards other races in the current tribe.
On the Horde side, Thrall and Cairn Bloodhoof led the army. They only had about 4,000 troops. Compared with Daelin Proudmoore's 20,000 troops, they were at a disadvantage in terms of strength alone.
Neither Daelin Proudmoore nor Thrall were talking nonsense. It has reached a point where war is inevitable. Daelin Proudmoore raised his hand, and behind him represented the Kingdom of Kul Tiras.
The royal flag was gently rolled up by the wind of the endless sea.
"Attack!" The admiral pulled the trigger, and the short gun in his hand fired. Then the human shield bearers and spearmen of the Chinese army, under the command of the officers, slowly began to move forward. Behind them,
Numerous crossbowmen.
As an island kingdom, the Kingdom of Kul Tiras has always been good at its navy. Their infantry and cavalry are far inferior to other human kingdoms on land in both quantity and quality. However, Daelin Proudmoore was very successful in the two orc invasion wars.
Another branch of arms was developed, that is, crossbowmen.
His idea is very similar to Prell. Since melee combat units are not good, then I will give priority to the development of long-range shooting and rely on the quality of crossbowmen to make up for my shortcomings.
This time, the army brought out by Dailin Proudmoore included three thousand crossbowmen. Although the technological level of the world of Azeroth is very strange, the dwarves and gnomes have begun to play with steam machinery, and the goblins have begun to play with it.
Although gunpowder explosions have occurred, the entire world's wars still involve the alternation of hot and cold weapons.
Moreover, making a crossbow is not simple. The standard crossbow of the Kingdom of Kul Tiras costs as much as three to five powerful bows.
The tribe's army still did not move. They simply set up some simple and rough defenses, while the army of the Kingdom of Kul Tiras continued to advance forward, with nearly 10,000 soldiers stepping in neat steps, and the earth seemed to
Everyone was shaken. On the silent battlefield, there was only the sound of uniform footsteps.
"Crack", the soldiers who were out of the queue suddenly stopped and fired a crossbow arrow from the rear. With strong wind, it landed behind a wooden fence in the tribal position.
"Get ready!" the frontline commander yelled. He ran back and forth on his horse, then raised the flag in his hand and waved it vigorously.
Just like migrating birds taking off from the water, thousands of crossbow arrows were shot toward the tribal formation in a black mass, blocking out the sky and the sun, creating a super visual shock.
The tribe's army suddenly became panicked. They hurriedly raised their shields and crouched down, desperately trying to avoid the incoming arrows.
However, the rain of arrows did not stop, and they were still shooting round after round, and they were still shooting in two stages. This was Daelin Proudmoore's plan from the beginning, he was going to use the powerful crossbow of the Kingdom of Kul Tiras
Soldiers, completely suppressing the orcs.
"Hanshu" divides the "military strategists" since the Spring and Autumn Period into two major factions: military situationists, that is, the brave warriors faction; military power planners, that is, the war planners.
According to this division, the fighting style of the orcs is a typical brave warrior. It is called "a person who takes advantage of the situation, moves by thunder and wind, strikes first and comes first, leaves home, is changeable, and defeats the enemy with light attacks." However,
What is a pity is that, whether it is the world of Draenor or Azeroth, the style of all wars favors bravery rather than strategy to win.
The vast majority of commanders pay more attention to the individual qualities of soldiers and the tactical coordination of small groups, but lack the most basic overall view and overall concept. They even think that using tactics on the battlefield is immoral and extremely despicable.
So today's battlefield, although the Kingdom of Kul Tiras is suppressing the Horde, overall, the performance is quite boring. It's like playing an RTS game, and Daelin Proudmoore is commanding long-range crossbowmen.
, the tribe temporarily chose to defend.
Two-stage shooting does not guarantee uninterrupted arrow rain suppression. Even if it is three-stage shooting, there will still be a certain time gap when loading the crossbow.
So Grom Hellscream led a group of wolf cavalry, detoured from the flanks, and rushed towards the shield bearers, spearmen and crossbowmen. At the same time, some orc warriors raised their shields and roared angrily.
Rushed out of the position.
In the distance, Prell stood near a hill and watched. He shook his head helplessly. In the military meeting two days ago, based on the intelligence provided by Jaina and the composition of Daelin Proudmoore's troops,
Prior came up with a battle plan.
The plan is simple: lure the enemy deep into the army and lead the Kul Tiras army into the ambush circle of Razor Ridge. Because the terrain of Razor Ridge is really conducive to an ambush.
However, this plan was the first to be opposed by Grom Hellscream. This leader of the Warsong Clan has always been a brave and reckless warrior. He does not lack wisdom, but when it comes to war, his wisdom is not enough.
Used.
Grom believes that the orcs should defeat the enemy openly and openly, just like the two previous invasion wars. In the first orc invasion war, the orcs captured Stormwind City and could be said to have completely gained the upper hand.
If Medivh hadn't been killed suddenly and the Dark Portal had not been closed, the orcs might have broken through the Burning Plains and entered the dwarven territory of Dun Morogh.
The failure of the second war, in the eyes of most orcs, was because Gul'dan suddenly rebelled on the battlefield and took away a large number of elite warlocks, death knights and warriors, and the old tribal chief Ogg at the time
Rim Doomhammer would rather fail than pursue Gul'dan to punish the traitors, which led to the orcs' defeat.
But the orcs have been unconvinced since then. They do not believe that their defeat was because their combat effectiveness was inferior to humans, but because they were defeated by Gul'dan, the traitor, and the warchief's command errors.
Now Prell proposed a simple plan to lure the enemy deeper. In Grom's view, it was a distrust of the orcs' fighting power and a form of discrimination against brave and honorable warriors.
Prell was quite speechless about this, but Sal defied all opinions and accepted his suggestion. After all, Sal was raised and raised by humans. His thinking is close to that of humans, and he does not think that the tactical plan on the battlefield is
Conspiracy and conspiracy.
So Thrall persuaded Cairne Bloodhoof. Although he failed to convince Grom Hellscream, the leader of the Warsong Clan still followed him and was responsible for luring the enemy.
