Chapter 676 Why did they avoid the Farstrider camp?
"Haha, it seems that in this war, our entire Southern Ranger Auxiliary Corps of Quel'Thalas is the protagonist." Sylvanas suddenly smiled.
Alleria smiled noncommittally and said: "However, it seems that the measures we have taken so far are still not ideal!" She sighed and said with concern: "The enemy's current advancement speed is too fast."
"So we have to find a way to slow down their advance!" Sylvanas thought for a while and said: "The enemy's advance is fast, mainly in the direction of the two elite orc legions.
The direction in which the Zul'Aman trolls are responsible for attacking has been successfully contained by us, so if we want to curb the enemy's attack speed as a whole, we just need to find a way to curb the speed of the orc troops."
"That's what I say, but the combat power of these orcs is too strong. The strength of one of their legions is equivalent to the strength of one of our combined legions. If there is a head-on confrontation, the two main battle legions of the orcs alone can contain our southern legions. Nearly two-thirds of the total strength of Yongge Forest has been reached.”
Alleria felt a little bit in trouble. Although Jin'el'Thalas had made considerable war preparations before the war broke out, after the war broke out, the situation still felt very grim: "Besides, now the trolls from Zul'Aman have arrived. So far, at least four legions of troops have been deployed, so we are actually at an absolute disadvantage in terms of military strength.
Also, Zul'Aman's trolls are still increasing their troops now. I estimate that the total number of troops they send will eventually reach ten legions. In other words, if they go well, it is very likely that Zul'Aman's trolls will be all over the place. Move out."
Alleria continued: "Once the Zul'Aman trolls are out in full force, we will definitely not be able to stop them with the strength of our ranger troops in the South Yonge Forest. As for the results we have achieved so far... then It’s only partial and temporary.”
"Of course I know this too!" Sylvanas said with a smile: "But sister, I think the enemy's current tactical and strategic guidelines are basically clear. You see..."
Sylvanas walked to the map, pointed with her white and slender fingers at the big red arrows that represented the direction of all the orc legions, and said: "The main forces of the two elite orc legions have all avoided the fortifications and completed them." The Farstrider camp turned eastward to attack, and their vanguard has even approached the Eastern Sun Temple, but why should they avoid the Farstrider camp?"
Alleria looked thoughtfully at the direction of Sylvanas's finger on the map.
The configuration of the two elite orc main battle legions that invaded Quel'Thalas this time is very different from the ordinary orc army. The configuration of these two elite orc main battle legions can almost be said to be pure cavalry legions.
The vast majority of their warriors are wolf cavalry, and some are death knights. However, the orc infantry without mounts are very few, and can almost be said to be completely negligible. Such a configuration of troops, in Azeroth Among all the orc troops that have appeared before, this one has definitely never been seen before.
If you only use the perspective of human arms to judge that the Orc Cavalry Regiment is not good at attacking cities, then this is completely wrong. At least the Orc Cavalry Regiment with the existence of the Orc Death Knight will definitely not be like the Human Cavalry Regiment. Neither is good at attacking cities.
Because even if there are no catapults, rams and other large siege equipment, for these elite orc main battle legions with many generations of death knights, siege will not be a very difficult task.
These first-generation death knights are not as lame and useless as the castrated third-generation living death knights. These guys can be said to be monsters truly created to create death.
Not only do they have strong bodies like warriors and thick full-body plate armor like knights, but they also have terrifying large-area destruction magic like warlocks and summoning magic that summons powerful demons to assist.
Compared with large and bulky siege equipment such as catapults and rams, the siege capabilities of these guys are not inferior at all, and are even more terrifying and flexible.
Even for a tall and solid city wall like Menethil Port in Proudmoore, when those warlocks and death knights summoned hellfire to descend on the city, their defense-breaking effect was even better than those of catapults and siege vehicles.
The threat posed by large-scale siege engines is greater and more direct.
The Farstrider camp has long been on the front line of the battle with the Zul'Aman trolls, and its various fortifications are quite complete, but it pales in comparison to the tall walls of Menethil Harbor in Proudmoore.
.
Because although the various fortifications in the Far Traveler camp are relatively complete, they have not built a thick city wall with a height of thirty meters. Such a tall and thick city wall is not easy for any city to build.
Easy.
Generally, only those kingdom capitals or important big cities have the financial resources to build a solid city wall with a height of thirty meters like this, and it takes a long time to build it.
The Farstrider camp is just a relatively important military fortress in the southern part of Yongsong Forest in Quel'Thalas, and it has been at war with the trolls of Zul'Aman for a long time. Therefore, although the Farstrider camp has many types of military
Fortifications, but it is impossible to have so much power and time to build such a tall wall.
Relatively speaking, the various defenses in the Farstrider camp are quite complete, but compared with tall walls like the walls of Menethil Harbor in Proudmoore, there is still a big gap in its defensive effectiveness.
If the death knights in the orc army summon a considerable number of hellfires to attack the city, and then subsidize a large number of trolls and orc soldiers, then it will only be a matter of time before they really want to break through the Farstrider camp.
Currently, only Zul'Aman's troll troops are surrounding the Farstrider camp, but the two elite cavalry legions of the Orcs have avoided the Farstrider camp and turned to attack the east.
The Zul'Aman trolls besieged the Farstrider camp because the Farstrider camp was too close to Sebunuwa, Sebusova and the city of Zul'Aman. If they didn't capture the Farstrider camp first and rashly mobilized a large number of troops to march east,
If we advance, then the logistics of the Zul'Aman trolls and the orc alliance will always be seriously threatened by the Farstrider camp.
