Warchief Doomhammer is actually just using these semi-civilized Zul'Aman troll races. Otherwise, how could their two elite orc wolf cavalry legions achieve their purpose of sneak attack on the Royal City of Lordaeron?
If no security measures are arranged behind these two elite raiding legions, the two legions will be exhausted all the way just by being followed by the high elf rangers riding white frost wolves and being harassed by cavalry and shooting.
Even if we finally reach the King's City of Lordaeron, I'm afraid we won't have much energy to attack the city by then!
Moreover, if there are a lot of restraints from those high elf rangers, how can the two orc wolf cavalry legions march quickly? If they can't march quickly, what's the point of a surprise attack?
Let alone a surprise attack, I am afraid that even when they arrived under the Royal City of Lordaeron, due to the slow marching speed, the King of Lordaeron had already prepared a large number of troops to defend the city.
So how can a raid be called a raid? Then I'm afraid it can only be called a storm!
Therefore, the order of Warchief Doomhammer must be carried out and completed. Only when the rear of the Assault Legion is safe can the Orcs and Wolf Cavalry Assault Legion achieve their goal of raiding Lordan.
This is a general strategy, and currently it is still a very confidential matter among the top orcs.
After all, the orcs have already signed an alliance with the trolls of Zul'Aman. If the trolls of Zul'Aman know their orcs' plans, will those Zul'Aman troops send out all their troops?
This is a big gamble that affects the final victory or defeat of the orcs and the Alliance in the entire battlefield of Azeroth, so not many people know this secret, let alone Zul'Aman, a new ally.
As long as all the Zul'Aman trolls are deployed and completely enter the area of Quel'Thalas captured by the orcs, then all the orc legions in the high elven kingdom of Quel'Thalas can turn to attack Los Angeles as a whole.
Damn Lun.
But even when Zul'Aman's trolls reacted again, the situation had changed beyond their control.
Zul'Aman's trolls are feuding with the high elves of Quel'Thalas. How could such a huge hatred be easily resolved? Even if Zul'Aman and the others were willing to abandon the newly acquired land, how could those high elves give up?
And they allowed the Zul'Aman trolls to calmly retreat into the city of Zul'Aman again?
Therefore, no matter what choice the trolls of Zul'Aman make, it will have nothing to do with the orcs. Anyway, no matter what choice the trolls of Zul'Aman make, they will definitely face the threat from Quelsa.
The anger of the Kingdom of Rath, and they will definitely contain most of the high elves' troops for the orcs' attack on Luo.
After cleaning up the mess on the battlefield, the commander of the Orc Wolf Cavalry ordered the troops to continue advancing.
This time, thirteen void walkers and fifteen death knights were all arranged to walk at the front, and behind them were a hundred wolf cavalry archers, and behind them were all wolf cavalry.
The three pathfinding teams sent out have also shrunk to within 200 meters. The orc forward commander decided to shrink his troops to the maximum this time and advance at a constant speed in the form of a fist.
This kind of march with extremely reduced troop strength, although it lost the time to get early warning, it also largely avoided being eaten up by the high elves in a piecemeal manner and consumed the vitality like mulberry leaves.
The marching and mobilization of the orc forward troops seemed to have achieved quite good results. It seemed that this group marching method also made the high elves helpless. Until the afternoon of the march, all the personnel of the orc forward troops were no longer under attack.
Harassment from the high elves.
Perhaps due to the influence of today's battle, the orc forward commander found that the morale was not very good, so he ordered to camp and rest in advance, and then march again early the next morning.
What the orc forward commander didn't know was that the camp location for the forward troops he ordered in advance was only three kilometers away from Sylvanas's ambush area.
The orc forward troops suddenly stopped marching and camping, which made Sylvanas, who was three kilometers away, suspicious. He thought there was a flaw in the ambush plan he had set up.
This kept Sylvanas busy all night. From the moment the orc forward troops set up camp, she personally went to inspect the ambush area again, but until now she has not noticed any flaws there.
At night, Sylvanas reviewed all the information about the orc forward force in recent times, but she did not find any problems in it.
But Sylvanas still didn't give up. After reviewing the recent information about the legion of the orc forward force, Sylvanas felt a little relieved.
She felt that it was unlikely that the orcs would discover the ambush of the high elves. The reason why the orc wolf cavalry vanguard camped early today was probably related to today's ambush.
Because the forward force stopped marching early, the main force of their legion also stopped marching, and the orc forward force and the main force still maintained a normal distance between them.
So Sylvanas decided to wait another day and see if the orcs' frontline troops didn't take any action tomorrow, then she would carefully consider whether to withdraw the ambush troops immediately.
In fact, Director Sylvanas was overly worried this time. The orc forward troops did not detect any ambush by the high elves this time.
The detection range of the orc forward troops has been reduced to such a small range by Sylvanas. How could they detect the ambush of the high elves three kilometers away?
The orcs do not have as many flying troops for reconnaissance as the high elves do, and they do not have medium-range reconnaissance methods like the Owl Ranger, so the orcs are even less likely to detect it.
This time, the Orc forward troops suddenly set up camp early. In addition to the fact that a battle occurred today that caused them heavy losses, more importantly, the Orc Wolf Cavalry commander received an order from the legion headquarters to suspend their march.
As for why the Legion headquarters issued such an order, the Orc forward commander believed that the Legion headquarters might be considering the possibility of changing tactics.
In terms of grand strategy, the Orc forward commander believes that it should be impossible to change, but the possibility of tactical changes is very high.
After all, it is not a small thing for the forward troops to have such a high loss rate under a confused situation. The orc forward commander also feels that the letter he sent to the legion headquarters today may have played a role.
