In the dilapidated council hall of Tarren Mill, Sylvanas Windrunner straightened up from her seat, her sword-shaped eyebrows slightly wrinkled in her shining star eyes, and she asked in a bad tone. ¡Ó
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Standing with his helmet on his head and his hands solemn, as the queen's attendant, Death Knight Ask* The Fallen bowed slightly after hearing Her Majesty the Queen's question, and replied in a respectful tone: "The news is from General Krakuk on the front line ( Note 1) It was reported back. Last night, they encountered human reinforcements near Thoradin's Wall. Judging from the number, the Alliance's vanguard army was the Highland Knights of Stromgarde, numbering approximately 10,000 people."
"Because the enemy's intentions were unclear, General Krakuk had temporarily given up the mission of capturing Dangarok, and then led his Wolf Cavalry troops to engage in a confrontation with the enemy near Thoradin's Wall, with both sides suffering casualties."
"However, there are only more than 4,000 Wolf Knights under General Krakuk, and their strength is at a disadvantage. At present, they can only choose the strategy of harassment and entanglement. It is estimated that the alliance's reinforcements will not be delayed for long."
Moving his eyes away from Sylvanas, Death Knight Asik, who was half-finished, turned his gaze to the burly figure at the top of the conference table and asked cautiously: "General Krakuk has sent a messenger to ask. Does the war chief have any further mission instructions?"
"These alliances are not slow in their actions."
Ms. Sylvanas, with her arms folded in front of her chest and her neck raised, had a sneer on her lips and spoke in a mocking tone. At the same time, he turned his head slightly and looked at the burly orc sitting at the top without any trace:
"It seems that the information from Aethas has come true. The seven human kingdoms have rebuilt the Azeroth Federation This is not good news. Lord Chief."
"It's expected." Thrall, wearing a heavy plate armor, sat at the head of the conference table, staring at the map of the Eastern Kingdom spread out in front of him, and was dissatisfied with the bad news conveyed by the death knight Asker*The Fallen. Moved: "Stormwind City and Ironforge alone cannot resist the power of the Horde. It is inevitable to reconnect with the previously independent forces."
"Uniting vertically and horizontally is a specialty of mankind. From the moment the Alliance and Horde declare war, the rebuilding of the Federation of Azeroth is just a matter of time."
Reaching out and clicking on the icons representing the kingdoms of Dalaran and Gilneas on the map, Warchief Thrall finally raised his head from the map and looked at the death knight who was standing by not far away with a respectful look on his face. He asked calmly:
"Have the scouts in Silverpine Forest sent back any information? Are there any military movements in Dalaran and Gilneas?"
"The KGB's spies have been fully deployed in Silverpine Forest. According to Captain Alta?r's daily magic transmission, Burningwood Village has recently added a large number of garrison troops, which are the numbers of the Kingdom of Gilneas. The specific number of troops is still being carefully explored. Medium. Dalaran has not had any obvious changes since the last time it raised the security level. However, Dalaran has a large number of spellcasters, and the possibility of using long-distance teleportation to deploy troops cannot be ruled out."
"Well" He gently twirled the hard stubble on his jaw with one hand, and kept tapping the oak table with the other hand. After hearing the death knight's answer, Thrall pondered for a moment, and then issued a series of commands:
"Issue an order to Baron Rivendell in the Undercity to double the strength of the transport troops. At the same time, strengthen the security level of the logistics line from the Undercity to Tarren Mill, and be careful to prevent sneak attacks and harassment from the Alliance. Do everything possible to ensure that The supply lines are open.¡±
"Let the messenger set off immediately to reply to General Krakuk and continue to harass the Stromgarde cavalry. I will dispatch a Kodo cavalry to support him. Before the reinforcements arrive, we will mainly delay the opponent's actions and do not fight forcefully. After the reinforcements arrive, they will all be put under his command, and I will ask him to stop the reinforcements from Arathi Highlands at the line of Durnholde Castle, at least to buy enough time for the battle in Nanhai Town."
"The cavalry in Stromgarde should just be the vanguard of the Alliance's reinforcements. The purpose is not to relieve the siege of Nanhai Town, but to attract our eyes and attention."
Although the tone was just speculation, Sal's look showed that he was very confident in his judgment.
"The real main force of the alliance should choose this place as the real breakthrough point!" Thrall slowly stood up, with a confident look on his face, pointing to the location of the port of Nanhai Town on the map, and said firmly. "Sea route! This is the best choice for the Alliance!"
"The Kul Tiran Navy is at its peak. The Alliance has an absolute advantage in the navy and can easily suppress our maritime forces. And compared to the long, long and time-consuming land transportation, both in terms of logistical pressure and soldiers physical wear and tear, etc.Considering all aspects, maritime transportation with fast convenience and large volume has more advantages! "
In front of the conference table, Thrall stood up and paced gently, constantly trying to consider the battle situation from the perspective of the alliance.
"The most important thing is that if the alliance's landing operation is sudden enough, the reinforcements coming from the sea can completely bypass our pre-set interception and blockade and directly support Nanhai Town from the port, thus making our siege of Nanhai Town impossible. Meaningless!¡±
"This is indeed a problem!"
"How are you going to be a warchief?"
Sylvanas Windrunner also stood up, stretched her tall body and came to Thrall's side. She frowned and stared at the map and asked in a cold tone:
"Mobilize the fleet to intercept the alliance's fleet? Or attack by force and capture Nanhai Town as soon as possible?"
¡°The former is unrealistic and the latter goes against the original intention.¡±
Facing Her Majesty the Queen¡¯s inquiry, Sal gently shook his head.
"By sea route, the Alliance's reinforcements must be escorted by the fleet of Kul Tiras. Our naval force is too weak, even if we go to intercept it, it will not be effective. As for Nanhai Town we still have to stay to attract the Alliance Reinforcements from the other side.¡±
Although Sylvanas Windrunner was once a ranger general, her military strategy at the battle level is still far behind Thrall, who inherited the mantle of the orc war god Orgrim Doomhammer. Facing the confusion on the face of the Forgotten Queen, Thrall, as the chief of the tribe, patiently explained his strategic intentions.
"The key point of the war with the Alliance is not the gain or loss of one city or one place, but the fact that we should try to kill the opponent's effective forces as much as possible."
"Compared to the urban offensive and defensive warfare that the Alliance is good at, our tribe is undoubtedly more advantageous in wild encounters. Therefore, it is most correct to mobilize the enemy's troops and leave those fortresses that are difficult to break. It is most correct to force them to fight with us in the field. s Choice."
"From the very beginning of the war, we have formulated a strategy of encircling the points for reinforcements. Nanhai Town is currently the only valuable bargaining chip to attract alliance troops to the Hillsbrad Hills."
?? His fingers kept tapping the location of Nanhai Town on the map. Sal's tone was unhurried, but his expression was unquestionable:
"So even though we can knock down Nanhai Town in one go, we still need to keep it to create an illusion so that the Alliance thinks they still have hope of a successful rescue!"
"Then let's go next" Sal's explanation and description made Her Majesty the Queen frown even more, and she asked with an uncertain expression.
"Our goal of mobilizing alliance forces has been achieved" Facing Sylvanas's inquiry, Thrall's eyes flashed with a sharp light: "Since the commander of the alliance wants to land on the beach, then we I fulfilled his wish and launched a head-on beachhead attack!"
¡°In the final analysis, war must rely on strength!¡±
It hit the map so hard. The strong oak table was shaken continuously. With a resolute look on his face, Sal once again gave orders to the guards beside him:
"Inform King Saurfang and order him to personally lead the Kor'kron Guards to assault the port area! Before nightfall, I require that the port area of ??Nanhai Town must be firmly under our control!"
"In addition, all ships of the tribe have assembled and left the coast, and are swimming on the endless sea to temporarily avoid possible attacks by the alliance navy."
"At the same time, the Wind Slave troops are ordered to increase the frequency of patrols and carry goblin airships to expand the patrol range. From now on, they must ensure 24-hour uninterrupted monitoring and investigation of the sea on the side of Nanhai Town. If any traces of alliance ships are found, immediately Report to me!¡±
"Ms. Sylvanas! I want to draw a group of scouts from the Forsaken to lurk along the coastline centered on Nanhai Town!" Thrall said to him while stamping the chief's seal on the military order given by the clerk. Queen Sylvanas, who remained silent on the side, solemnly ordered: "All tidal flats and islands must have our eyes!"
"If any ship approaches the coastline, I want to know the opponent's detailed information as soon as possible. Including the enemy's force composition, quantity, source, as well as the specific gravity and tonnage of warships and transport ships!"
"no problem!"
Sylvanas Windrunner, who had the same cold expression, did not hesitate at all. He accepted Thrall's order neatly. He turned his head and gave a serious order to the death knight Ask*The Fallen who was standing aside:
"Let Christo *Forgotten Heart personally supervise the situation and select the best scouts from the undead sentinels to follow the chief's instructions. Tell it I don't want any mistakes to happen!"
The cold and hoarse voice can only remind people of the cold winter. The death knight nodded in agreement without any hesitation. After stroking his chest and saluting, he quickly walked out of the dilapidated council hall, climbed on the skeletal horse and galloped away.
Withdrawing his gaze from the death knight¡¯s back, Thrall quietly looked at the face of the Forsaken Queen, and then hesitantly ordered the orderer again:
"Go to the headquarters of the Wrestling Dragon Corps and invite General Grudig and Elder Hamuul to the council hall to discuss military affairs"
"Wellanddon't forget to call Ms. Serena."
"snort!"
A certain sensitive name spoken by Sal clearly touched the nerves of Her Majesty the Queen.
With Sylvanas Windrunner snorting full of dissatisfaction, the atmosphere in the dilapidated council hall became obviously colder
