Chapter 600: Object of Practice
Due to volcanic activity and lava flows, the Burning Plains are dry and hot all year round, and the people who can live in this place are very enduring, and the Blackstone Orcs are the best among them.
The Blackstone Orcs are more bloodthirsty and violent than the Orcs under the leadership of Thrall in the Kalimdor Continent, they always settle near the volcano, using the ore there to build weapons and armor, far from the main road, they have been vigilant against attacks from the Alliance, the reason why the Alliance's army can attack them openly without being afraid of turning against the tribe is because these orcs scoff at the armistice agreement between Thrall and the Alliance, they do not accept the leadership of Thrall, naturally they do not belong to the tribe, and they are not afraid to kill the tribe.
Since you are not willing to stop the war, then we will give you a war, if you want to fight, I will fight with you, and see who dies, this is the attitude of the alliance towards the Blackstone Orcs.
Thrall couldn't do anything about it, and the Blackstone Orcs didn't recognize his leader, and he wouldn't use his hot face to stick to the other party's cold ass.
After Leo and Scarlett led their army into the Burning Plains, it was these Blackstone Orcs who trained their soldiers.
"Ready, put!"
Under the command of a human officer, the thumping of guns became the main theme of the battlefield, a row of half-kneeling human soldiers aimed at the front and pulled the trigger, their hands looked like arquebuses magic weapons shot finger-sized magic bullets, after pulling the trigger, they quickly stood up and retreated to the back row, while their colleagues took their place at the first time and released a second salvo under the command of the officer.
Bang bang...... The gunshots were constantly ringing, and since the human soldiers were using magic weapons, they needed to wait three seconds after firing a shot before the second shot could be fired, and there was no need for a special loader at all, so the composition of the entire unit was very simple - except for the gunner, who was the gunner.
The whole army was divided into three columns, each column was replaced by the next column after firing, and the salvo appeared at a frequency of once per second, ensuring the continuity of the attack on the premise of achieving an orderly attack, so that their enemies had no way to get close at all, and could only fall on the way one by one.
After all, it is a tactic that has been tested in great battles, and such a three-stage shooting seems simple, but the actual effect is not bad.
"This is the magic guide pistol, although the rate of fire is very slow, but the bullets are infinite, once it is formed, even the wolf cavalry of the Blackstone Orcs will be difficult to break through their blockade, this weapon is suitable for the army's group combat, and the effect of small-scale combat is limited."
Standing behind the first three columns of soldiers, Leo was dissecting the strengths and weaknesses of their weapons to Scarlett, and now they were facing a force of three thousand blackstone orcs, all the cavalry of the orcs in the camp here.
In the past, these wolf cavalry were the pride of the Blackstone Orcs, they would crush the enemy every time they went into battle, but now, when facing the army of the Kingdom of Aratho, these wolf cavalry can only be slaughtered, and they can't even get within two hundred steps of the opponent when they charge with their determination to die, and what is even more tragic is that Arasuo's army does not rely on more people to do this, because they only send 3,000 men.
Scarlett looked at it and nodded, this was the first battle of the large-scale use of magic weapons in the Kingdom of Arasuo, originally Scarlett was still a little worried about magic weapons, but it turned out that her worries were not necessary at all.
The magic guide weapons are not necessarily very powerful when taken out individually, but once the number reaches a certain scale, their horror is revealed, and those ordinary soldiers who don't know anything about magic can turn into a mage in an instant, and think about the scene of thousands of mages casting spells and attacking together to know how powerful it is.
"The only regret is that both the magic pistol and the magic guide pistol are far inferior to real mages in terms of attack power and range, and the flexible surname and accuracy are not comparable to magic, and the night elf sentinels and the rangers of Silvermoon City also have the ability to restrain them."
Leo said that it was a pity that the magic weapons he made could only be aimed at by the shooter, which was not at all a grade compared to the long-range super-vision battles before the crossing, but even this was enough to shock the officers of Scarlett and Alasuo.
"The massive popularity of magic weapons is enough to change the way of fighting in the past, and if the tactics are right, an army composed of ordinary people can also cause a legion to die a lot, and it has the power to change the war."
Scarlett lamented that it was unthinkable for an army of ordinary people to inflict a large number of casualties on a legion, but the abundance of magic weapons made it possible, and Scarlett believed that this would definitely happen, the difference only was when it happened and which legion would be unlucky enough to enter the battle that was destined to be written into the history books.
After the emotion, Scarlett was excited again, the appearance of this change is very beneficial to the rise of the kingdom of Alaso, because the method of manufacturing a large number of magic weapons is only known to Leo, and with Leo's current strength, it is almost impossible for others to get this kind of technology from him.
In this way, the main force of the armies of other forces can still only be composed of warriors, but the kingdom of Arasuo can recruit ordinary people, given that the number of ordinary people in this world is thousands of times that of warriors, the scope of recruitment of the kingdom of Araso is far greater than that of other kingdoms.
"You're just too easy to get satisfied, I think there is still room for improvement in the magic guide weapon, and its role on the battlefield will become more and more important."
Leo, who had learned about modern warfare from various sources, was not satisfied with the magic pistol that was now similar to the weapon used during World War I, but he, a pseudo-engineering master, had no way to change, so he could only wait for the research progress of the two dwarf subordinates in the space.
Scarlett was noncommittal to Leo's dissatisfaction, she just knew that Leo was there to help her revive the glory of the kingdom of Aratho, and as the orc wolf cavalry fell in pieces from the fire of the magic musketeer, the offensive force of the orc camp in front of her had been completely destroyed, and what awaited them would be the attack of the Arassol soldiers.
"Attack the orc camp."
With Scarlett's order, five thousand soldiers carrying magic guide hand cannons that resemble goblin mortars stood at the forefront of the line instead of musketeers, and their appearance made the already surrounded orc camp stir, and now even a fool can see that the humans outside are about to attack the camp, and the orcs are ready to die in the face of the human army with strange weapons.
"To be an enemy of the alliance is to be prepared to be exterminated by us, and to kill them all."
An officer from Arathas gave the order to attack, this officer was missing an arm, it was the work of an orc warrior, so he hated the orcs to the core, let him give the order to attack the orcs Can you still expect him to stay alive?
There are many officers in the army of the alliance who can't let go of their hatred for orcs, after all, orcs have killed many humans as accomplices of the Burning Legion, and the hatred between races has been planted, and it is not a matter of a few words from the top of the kingdom that can be resolved by focusing on the overall situation, and in addition to Gianna of Theramore who maintains an ambiguous neutral attitude, no matter whether it is Varian of the Stormwind Kingdom or Scarlett of Araso, they have no good impression of orcs.
Being in the human race naturally has to consider the problem from the standpoint of humans, the orcs have inspired hatred between races due to their wanton killing of humans, and Leo, as a member of the human race, naturally cannot speak for the orcs on this issue, even if he admires Thrall's wisdom, the former is an attitude towards the world, and the latter is just a private feeling, and the public and private must be clearly distinguished.
The sound of cannon fire replaced the sound of gunfire, and the soldiers holding magic hand cannons were all low-level fighters, their physical fitness was much stronger than ordinary people, and they could use a hundred pounds of hand cannons with one hand.
The magic pistol is only equivalent to the attack of a low-level mage, and the magic hand cannon can be worth a blow from a high-level mage, and a shot from a thousand warriors is equal to five thousand high-level mages shooting together, if it weren't for the attack interval of the magic guide hand cannon as long as five minutes, it was enough to make most of the military mages taste the taste of being laid off.
The camp of the Blackstone Orcs is made of hard stones, which were not made by the Orcs themselves, and their source is the ruined castle in this territory that originally belonged to humans, in fact, this camp was also a human fortress, but its original owner no longer knows where to go.
If you want to attack the orc camp with other troops, you will definitely have to sacrifice a lot of soldiers, and the army of the kingdom of Araso is now equipped with five thousand magic guide cannons, and the stone fortress without the blessing of magic has lost its due role in front of them.
After a round of shelling, the stone fortress wall that the Blackstone Orcs relied on to defend itself was blown into a pile of rubble, and the orc warriors standing on the wall disappeared with it, if you insist on finding their whereabouts, look carefully in the rubble, I believe you will find something, but be prepared to vomit.
"The actual combat power of the magic guide pistol and the magic guide hand cannon has been tested, now push the pipe cannon up."
Leo waved his hand, and a group of soldiers pushed out ten strange war machines.
For Leo, what magic pistols, magic cannons and the like are floating clouds, the first two are just the most primitive weapon models, and they will definitely be changed in the future, but now this is not, Leo's expectations for it are not small, for the birth of this thing, he and the two dwarfs under his command have spent a lot of effort.
Scarlett saw the ten war machines appear, and she knew that the main show was coming.
To say that the appearance of these ten war machines is really strange, they are purely a large square iron box on the back of the mechanical chariot, and there are nine bowl-sized holes on the iron box, these hollows are unknown to Scarlett but understand that they are actually made according to the manufacturing principle of magic cannons, and one attack of it is equal to a salvo of nine magic cannons, and this salvo can fire three times in a row.
Pipe Cannon: A Hundred Tigers Run, that's what Leo calls it, and in fact it's a magical version of Katyusha.
"Don't let me down." Leo muttered quietly, then pointed to the Blackhand Orc's camp, "Flatten it for me." ”
