Chapter 111: Tug of War
Due to their technical skills, these mortars have a much shorter range than airborne crossbows, and although the sea is foggy with mortars, the crossbowmen do not need to aim at all. Due to breaking through the line of the fishmen, the fast boats of the orcs are relatively dense. Basically, there is no worry about the goal being missed.
Under the medium-range and long-range covering strikes, the orc's offensive suddenly suffered a major setback. Although the orcs are not afraid to die, no matter how desperate they charge, they will not be able to break through the defense of the docklands.
For the central and eastern defense zones, the orcs only used the lowest-ranking orcs among the orcs to release water, in order to contain the other two defense zones.
The orc fleet in the dock area sent out real orc elite warriors, but it was these elite warriors who not only did not get close under the blow of the jasper leader, but because of the crossbow covering, the orcs were forcibly suppressed out of range. Even if the lucky fast boat is lucky enough to dodge the crossbow shot, it will be sniped by mortar in shallow water.
"Can anyone tell me what this thing is?" Although Orgrim had long been ready to sacrifice, he couldn't help but be furious when he saw such a worthless sacrifice by the orc warriors.
Orcs are never afraid of sacrifice, and in their mindset, even if they can't kill you, they will splash your blood. But under the cover of machine crossbows and mortars, the orcs could not see even a single hair of the enemy. Even just now, I could still pull a fishman on his back, but now, I can't use my strength.
The other orc generals didn't dare to speak when they saw Orgrim's thunderstorm, they were all one-lined, and they were all masters who liked to fight and kill. Taking ideas as a staff officer has never been his forte.
Gul'dan was silent for a while, then held the orb that exuded strong shadow elemental fluctuations and said, "Great Hammer of Destruction, do you want me to use the Shadow Orb." ”
Orgrim took a deep breath. Looking at the bloody wind in the distance, he said: "Now is not the time, order, let the hard laborers attack the dock area instead of the orc warriors, I don't believe that their weapons are not exhausted." ”
"Great Orgrim, the fleet of the orc laborers has been transferred by you to attack the other two zones." Gul'dan reminded.
Orgrim turned his head to stared at Guldan's two eyes like green ghostfire, and roared in a low voice, "Are your heads full of mush, and you can transfer half of the hard labor." Send another elite fleet of orcs over. It's time to put some pressure on the other two lines of defense. ”
The orc's offensive quickly changed, and although the attack in the dock area was still fierce, it lost its momentum just now. However, the orcs in the other two districts were obviously fierce. As the orcs continued to approach the coast, the other two districts became visibly tense.
The sun had set an hour earlier, and the moon was slowly rising. The battle between the two sides has been going on for half a day. The orcs never really made it to the beach.
Brad casually ate some dry food on the commanding heights to solve his stomach problems, and did not leave the high platform for a single step. The rest of the top management has returned to their respective positions. In addition to Brad and Aurelia, there are only the guards that Jasper Collar has chosen for Brad.
"It's dark. The coastline is expected to change hands. A hint of helplessness flashed in Brad's eyes, he didn't expect the main force of the tribe to attack his side, and he was indeed a little caught off guard. He didn't understand that with Orgrim's wisdom, he would endure a large sacrifice to storm the Jasper Territory. In order to brush up the prestige of the alliance, this is extremely high-profile, and it seems that retribution is still coming.
Aurelia turned her head in surprise and asked, "Even if it's dark, it's not good for us, but with such a dense attack." Orcs can't attack the coast. ”
"Do you really think that ammunition is infinite, after all, the jasper collar is not enough. Where did you get so many reserves in such a short period of time. Besides, the orcs haven't really exerted their strength yet. "Brad has nothing to hide from Aurelia, she's not one of Brad's human men, so she doesn't have to pretend to be in the chest.
Aurelia also understood, although the Jasper Collar's factory was constantly expanding, after all, the time was still short, and there were too many things to produce, and through Brad's previous layout, she also understood that these reserves were not enough to deal with the main force of the orcs.
"The coastline can't be defended, so what should we do?"
Brad stroked Xiao Bai's cold scales and said slowly, "Drag." ”
"Drag? You're going to fight a war of attrition with the orcs? Aurelia asked softly.
Brad nodded and said, "We can drag it out, but the tribe can't afford it." Let's not talk about the difficulty of supplying the tribe. As long as we hold on for three or four days, reinforcements from the marshal will definitely arrive. According to the information from the marshal, the orcs in the middle line have already fought with the marshal on the beach, and it should not be a problem to draw out a part of the army. ”
Aurelia pondered for a moment before saying, "With Ogrim's wisdom, he must have thought of that. Then the orcs will definitely attack like crazy these days? ”
"I'm also worried about a little bit, the main force of the tribe is much stronger than us in terms of the number of troops and the quality of the army, and this battle is not easy to fight. From the perspective of the Air Force, the fighter group, the Red Dragon Army, the Wind Snake Army, and the Thunder Eagle Army together are less than 30,000, and the main force of the tribe I guess is 780,000 or even more than 100,000. ”
Brad looked at the flames from the explosion of the mortar shell in the distance, and then said: "And the other party's warlock legion, God knows how many of them there are. And our mages together are less than six thousand. The tribe is using all its strength to deal with one of our territories, even if we add the alliance's army, the difference between the enemy and us is really huge. If Orgrim hadn't tried to test our cards, he would have sent his air force to seize the landing site. ”
Aurelia analyzed it for a moment and said, "Well, that's a comparison. We really can't hold the coast, and the tribe already knows what we can do, so if I do so, I'll take the coast tonight and gain a foothold. ”
Brad said slowly: "So, the mechanical troops must be withdrawn, we really can't afford to lose. More importantly, the coastline must not be lost at the hands of the Jasper Army, which will not only affect the morale of the soldiers, but also be a blow to my prestige, and I will never allow such a situation. ”
Aurelia gave him a blank look and said, "This can't be perfect. ”
Brad shook his fingers, his eyes flashed with an inexplicable light, and said, "No, there is a legion that has been idle until now, and even if they let the coast fall, it will neither dampen my morale nor affect my prestige." ”
Without waiting for Aurelia to ask, he turned to one of the Jade Guards and ordered, "Order, let Dasuohan mobilize the adventurer legion and the mechanical troops to change the guard, and order it to execute it immediately." ”
A jasper guard immediately ran down the high platform quickly.
Aurelia said with a worried face: "How to deal with the orc air force and the warlock legion, you want to use divine punishment?" ”
"Divine punishment, it can indeed be used. But if you release it once, it takes a long time to accumulate before you can release it again. This is my last resort, and I will not use it until it is a matter of life or death. ”
Aurelia's eyes lit up and she said, "Why don't you open a large portal and teleport the elite troops over." ”
Brad still shook his head and said, "The last time I supported the naval battle, it was the materials of several human countries that were jointly produced, and the joint casting of the senior mages of Dalaran was able to teleport so many legions at the same time. This time, Lordaeron would not have agreed to this suggestion, and they wished I was hanging here. If I don't fall into the well, I will burn high incense, let alone support. Quel'Thalas is capable and doesn't care about this material, but the question is, you know more about the guys in the Silvermoon Council, do you think they're going to send troops over? ”
Aurelia was dejected, how she didn't know the virtues of those guys. When she was still a Ranger General and a Silvermoon Councilor, it took a lot of effort to win a little army to support humanity, not to mention that she was nothing now.
Brad patted her hand and comforted, "You don't have to worry, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain." Moreover, I received a great subordinate the other day, and he just asked for reinforcements these days, maybe she will bring me unexpected surprises. ”…… (To be continued......)
