Therefore, no matter what, the Zul'Aman trolls must do their best to capture the Farstrider camp, so as to avoid future worries for all troops heading north to attack Silvermoon City.
Without capturing the Farstrider camp, the Zul'Aman trolls would never dare to march eastward or northward, because that would put all their attacking legions in danger at all times.
But why didn't the orcs stop before the Farstrider camp and help the Zul'Aman trolls capture the Farstrider camp first? Why did they bypass the Farstrider camp and march eastward first?
Aren't they afraid that their logistics routes will be cut off? Are these orcs so confident that they can capture Silvermoon City with just their two orc cavalry legions?
This kind of behavior of orcs is very unreasonable. Based on Alleria's understanding of orcs after dealing with orcs for so long, Alleria would never think that orcs are so arrogant, let alone that stupid.
On the contrary, Alleria believed that the orcs might be a little arrogant, but they were definitely not a stupid race, especially the senior commanders in the orc army. Alleria believed that they were all quite cunning and smart.
And they learn very quickly during war.
This group of senior orc commanders, after every battle, if the orcs suffer a disadvantage in the battle, they can always quickly come up with quite clever ways to deal with it.
For example, in the battle of Proudmoore, the orcs learned the lesson of the lack of long-range firepower in the first war between Lockdanmor and the Alliance. In order to suppress the long-range firepower from the Alliance, they quickly learned how to use human heavy infantry.
The iron shield fortress phalanx most commonly used by legions.
The Iron Shield Fortress Phalanx was originally just a defensive formation for the heavy infantry legion, but these orcs were able to convert it into an offensive formation on the battlefield.
More importantly, this formation really suppressed most of the alliance's long-range attack power. It also made the Elf Legion, which was best at long-range attacks, almost helpless when facing them. In the end, they had to rely on
Favorable factors such as terrain were able to break the formation.
And this time, these orcs have obviously learned the lessons they learned on the Proudmoore battlefield. Although they are two cavalry regiments, they no longer use their favorite and most commonly used blitzkrieg assault of puppies and elephants.
Tactics.
But when they encounter areas with poisonous needle arrays, mine arrays, iron arrowhead arrays and other areas laid by elves, the orcs will summon demons with similar head shapes such as void walkers and hellfires, and then the beasts will saw them.
Remove some large trees and cut them into several sections to form logs two to three meters long. Tie these logs up with chains and let Void Walker and Hellfire pull these log sections forward to clear the way.
Therefore, no matter what kind of poisonous needle array, mine array, or iron arrowhead array the high elves in front of them laid on the road, under the influence of these stone-like demons and the big logs they dragged, everything would soon be wiped out.
The ambush blocking their advance was destroyed, and these orc troops quickly passed through the trap area along the channels opened by the demons.
And this is why Alleria lamented that the measures did not achieve the desired results. It is precisely because the orcs are not stupid, on the contrary, they are quite smart. It is precisely because Alleria feels that the orcs behave strangely and abnormally.
reason.
Because the orcs are so smart, it is absolutely impossible for them not to know how fragile their logistics route is before the Farstrider camp is removed.
And they must also know that no matter how powerful the legion is, once their logistics route is cut off, it will have terrible consequences for that legion. However, since the orc commanders will know such consequences, why do they still
Why do you do this? Why do you still go so far alone?
Going deep into the enemy's territory without regard for logistics is a very risky move at any time, and it is also forbidden for military strategists. Most commanders who dare to do this often end up defeated and will die. But now the orcs do this.
Okay, this has to be confusing.
"Could it be..." Aurelia's heart skipped a beat, and she had a bold guess in her mind.
The corners of Sylvanas' lips raised: "What did you think of? Sister!"
"Sylvanas, tell me! What do you know?" Alleria raised her head and asked.
"We might as well make a bold guess," Sylvanas smiled and said: "The strategic goals of the orcs and Zul'Aman's troll alliance are inconsistent, so..."
"Be specific!" Alleria frowned and said.
"We all know the strategic goal of the Zul'Aman trolls, which is to destroy the Kingdom of Quel'Thalas!" Sylvanas looked at Alleria with a smile and said easily: "The last thing is to destroy all of our high-level people.
The elves drove out of Eversong Forest and completely occupied Silvermoon City."
Alleria nodded, she agreed with Sylvanas's point of view.
Sylvanas smiled again: "Then sister, think about it, what is the strategic goal of the orcs launching this raid?
We might as well make a bold guess. As long as we can clarify the strategic goals of the orcs' attack, then we can easily understand such abnormal behavior of the orcs.
And as long as we can understand the orcs’ abnormal behavior, it will be easy to deduce the orcs’ next move.”
Alleria frowned slightly as she listened to Sylvanas's words, but she still had no intention of speaking.
Sylvanas looked at Alleria and then said: "Let's first assume the three most likely strategic targets of the two elite orc main battle legions in Quel'Thalas.
First, it is assumed that the goal of these two elite orc main battle legions is to completely defeat the Kingdom of Quel'Thalas, and ultimately help the Zul'Aman trolls completely capture Silvermoon City, and finally join forces with the Zul'Aman trolls to go south and attack
The rear of the Kingdom of Lordaeron forced the Alliance army to fight on two fronts.
Second, it is assumed that the strategic goal of these two elite orc main battle legions is not to occupy the Kingdom of Quel'Thalas, but to raid Stratholme City behind the Kingdom of Lordaeron to support the frontal battlefield and make the frontal stalemate
The battlefield situation changed in their favor.
The third one, without these two elite orc main battle legions, took the risk of quickly passing through the Stratholme area and Andorhal area, the rear area of the Kingdom of Lordaeron, which is currently empty of troops, and directly attacked the currently guarded area where there are not many troops.
The royal city of Lordaeron was under the city of Lordaeron, and even captured it, causing all the alliance armies on the frontal battlefield to be in chaos, and coordinating the attack of the main force on the frontal battlefield, so as to fundamentally and completely defeat all alliance armies."
