War mobilization is when the country takes emergency measures to transfer from peacetime to wartime, and uniformly mobilizes manpower, material resources, and financial resources to serve the war.
Zutona cannot yet be called a country, but under Tonatiu's mobilization order, the characteristics of the trolls as an army were fully brought into play.
In just seven days.
Except for the approximately 2,000 elite troops who stayed behind at Zutona and the crater, they were not mobilized.
The remaining approximately 8,000 Zutona troops were all mobilized, and approximately 5,000 troops gathered at Zaun Fortress and Dezla Post.
There are still about three thousand Troll troops and a large amount of supplies on the way.
Zutona has a population of close to 30,000 people and can provide 10,000 troops. The ratio of troops to civilians has reached 1:2.
Even in Azeroth, where everyone is a soldier, the ratio is still a bit exaggerated.
On earth, the normal ratio of national troops to civilians seldom exceeded 20:1 in classical times. In modern society, anything exceeding 100:1 is considered militarism.
But in Azeroth, an army ratio of less than 10:1 cannot be said to be militaristic.
Like the orcs who have not yet arrived in Azeroth, if necessary, they can have no civilians at all. Except for the elderly and children who really cannot hold weapons, everyone can become an army.
Similar to the human kingdom in the Eastern Kingdom, if necessary during war, they can also achieve an army ratio of about 1:5.
Except for the Zandalari, trolls are obviously much more savage than humans. Basically, other troll tribes can be easily similar to the orcs, so that except for the elderly and children who cannot carry weapons, all other tribesmen are soldiers.
.
certainly……
This ratio is not that of an elite standing army.
It contains a large number of militiamen and servants with low combat effectiveness.
Like Zutona's 10,000-strong army, the actual combat effectiveness is around 4,000 to 5,000.
Most of the rest are recruits and servicemen, similar to the role of the reserve team.
I don't usually participate in battles.
But once the battle situation calls for it, he grits his teeth and carries the weapon.
In fact, only half can be considered an army.
And this half can be considered elite, and another half must be cut off.
There are only about 2,000 trolls who are truly capable of fighting.
Zutona's army of 10,000 trolls consists of about 2,000 elites, combined with about 3,000 ordinary soldiers. The remaining 5,000-odd recruits and servants can only be regarded as reserves at best.
Inside Zaun Fortress.
In a huge tent in the center.
Dezra, Evra, Arkas, Kzra and other elites in the troll army gathered together, and at Tonatiu's request, they were discussing how to attack Zul'Farrak.
In the eyes of other forces and armies other than the Zutona Trolls, this seems to be a bit overestimating their capabilities.
Zultona's total population is only about 30,000, Zul'Farrak's total population is no less than 300,000, and its standing army is no less than 50,000.
Use 30,000 troops to defeat 200,000 troops, and use more than 5,000 troops to attack a city defended by more than 50,000 troops.
It really looks like floating and shaking a tree.
"We can proceed step by step. All the trolls will set out, step by step, steadily, and consume the effective strength of Zul'Farrak's army..."
"My voodoo archers have already fought against Zul'Farrak's scout team. They are vulnerable to the two voodoo archers favored by Loa!"
"10 Voodoo Archers can kill 50 Zul'Farrak's scouts!"
"We now have more than 600 voodoo shooters! More than 400 spiritual warriors, and more than 1,000 berserker warriors!"
"We also have witch doctors, oh, shamans! There are also many warriors!"
"We can take our time..."
Two years ago, the trolls in front of me were digging for scorpions and bugs in the sand.
None of the trolls have experience leading armies into battle.
Tonatiu asked them to discuss strategies, but except for Dezra, the other trolls had nothing to say at all.
Including the 6 Titans that were just transferred back from the Shaper platform.
Tonatiu now has 8 titans, he left two to continue at the Shaper's Stand, and he called back the remaining 6.
But compared to ordinary trolls, Titan trolls are more advanced in life form and more powerful in combat.
But it doesn't mean that they can become masters of strategy and tactics without a teacher.
So except for Dezra who was talking, the other trolls could only listen.
After the final discussion, the result of being sent to Tonatiu was to follow Dezra's wishes, advance step by step, and force Zul'Farrak.
Of course Tonatiu is not satisfied with this result. What kind of strategy is this?
But he also knew that the current trolls could only go so far.
Azeroth has no famous military geniuses to begin with. This is a world where unparalleled weapons can be used, and personal force is particularly important.
The 1 million ordinary Azeroth troops are used superbly, and all kinds of ingenious strategies come up one after another, and the military god descends to the earth to operate it.
It's impossible to defeat Sargeras.
In order for Azeroth's military strategy to work, it can only work if the individual combat power of the soldiers on both sides is not much different, the military strength is also not much different, and the number of super-standard individuals in the army is similar.
Only then can it play some role.
Looking at the tens of thousands of years of war history in Azeroth, it is probably only the battle between Orgrim and Lothar that barely shows the appearance of military strategy.
Other battles are fought by small soldiers to the death, and then a hero emerges and is unparalleled in order to finish the battle.
What's the military strategy for the undead natural disaster? Isn't it just relying on the advantages of the undead sea and many high-end combat forces to push half of the Eastern Kingdom along the way?
What military strategy does the Burning Legion have? The ground fire will directly hit you in the face. Except for cheating, you will be beaten!
What's the strategy for the second Ahn'Qiraj War that hasn't happened yet? Isn't it just that everyone gets together, and as soon as the door opens, they rush all the way, killing and killing?
In the end, the war ended only with a few heroes who successfully broke into the Titan seal inside and re-sealed or killed C'Thun.
What kind of military strategy is involved in the war between the tribe and the alliance? Basically, they are fighting life and death on traffic arteries and strategic locations. I have never heard of any consequences.
Famous for strategic command.
It seems that among the heroes of Azeroth, the only ones who are famous for their command and strategy are Orgrim and Lothar.
There is also a night elf Jarod.
Orgrim and Lothar didn't say anything.
Jarod's greatest command achievement seems to be becoming the new commander of the night elves and commanding the battle after the deaths of the elf leaders Ravencrest and Stareye.
In the War of the Ancients, his greatest contribution was to listen to the advice of Ronin and Krasus, who traveled through time, and establish alliances with other races, thus laying the foundation for the victory of the War of the Ancients.
But in the end, the victory of the Ancient War was not due to the Aspect Dragon and the Malfurion brothers. Tyrande had to work hard and sacrifice, as well as the ancient gods to help in secret.
That's right...
In the War of the Ancients, the sealed ancient gods sided with Azeroth.
Have no idea.
What if Sargeras really comes over?
Although Ai Jiang will be cut in two, those who live in Ai Jiang will also be wiped out.
In fact, Jarod's command can only be said to have reduced the casualties of the Kaldorei, but it was of little use to the final result.
And this is an effect that can only be achieved based on the sacrifice of the wilderness gods.
If it weren't for the desperate efforts of the Aspect Dragon and the Wild Gods, giving Jarod more night elf troops would be of no use to the overall situation.
In Azeroth.
Military strategy is not important, as long as you are strong enough to crush everything along the way.
Military strategy can only play some role when the strengths of both sides are about the same, or when one side is slightly weaker, but not too weak.
If a superhero appeared halfway, this effect would be easily offset.
Tonatiu didn't expect the trolls to suddenly become military geniuses. He just hoped that his subordinates would understand some simple strategies.
But in fact, he is blind in this regard. He is not a graduate of the military academy and has not even served in the military...
A population of 30,000 is used to fight a population of more than 200,000, and an army of more than 5,000 is used to fight an army of more than 50,000.
It looks like he can't win no matter what.
Just like World War II on earth, Nazi Germany invaded France. Before the war started, no one thought that Japan would win.
Because of the comparison of military strength between the two sides, France, which is the "world's largest army", is much stronger.
But only 38 days.
The white flag was lowered in Paris.
Since then, there has been a meme on the earth: "No one can occupy all of France before the white flag is lowered in Paris!"
