Stormwind Wizard God-Chapter 226: Stab
Chapter 226 - Stab
The Alliance soldiers stood tightly on the hill defense line, holding their weapons firmly, and stabbing any approaching orcs with their spears extended diagonally.
The soldiers formed a continuous shield wall, and the trained javelin soldiers kept throwing death rain down from the higher trenches.
The orcs kept attacking these teams with their absolute numbers, but they were not able to break through the Alliance's defenses once. At this time, artillery fire sounded in the distance.
Duke clenched his fists excitedly. This was what he wanted.
Infantry and artillery coordination. Sea and land coordination.
These two war concepts are completely unfamiliar in the world of Azeroth, and are nothing but drizzle to Duke, a time traveler and pseudo military fan.
The cannons of this era had great limitations. These primitive breech-loading cannons had a short range and limited power, and no general or marshal would have thought of asking the fleet that later entered the battlefield to help with the artillery fire.
Originally, in the eyes of the kings of the Alliance, as long as the Alliance could hold on, it would be a great victory. Who would have thought that Duke's appetite was so big that he actually wanted to swallow up all the hundreds of thousands of orcs! ?
Moreover, it is about to be realized!
In the command center, the faces of the remaining four kings were filled with shock and astonishment.
Kul Tiras' intact First Fleet, the half-crippled Third Fleet, the Fourth Fleet that was originally driven away by Lord Roar, and the Storm Fleet, took advantage of Lord Roar being entangled by the Windrunner sisters, and the four fleets approached the shore together, with their guns fully opened, pouring a barrage of bullets onto the coastline that had turned green.
A series of flashes of light soon appeared on the side of the ship in the distance, followed by rising black smoke that briefly covered the entire side of the ship.
Here it comes.
Every Alliance warrior has an excited heart beating in his chest.
When King Llane saw thousands of black lines streaking across the morning blue sky from the top of the mountain, he even forgot to continue encouraging his soldiers.
Those steel balls mixed with the hot smell of gunpowder were intertwined in the air. In some places, the steel balls were so dense that they collided with each other in the air, making continuous crackling noises. But there was no problem. It was as if the gods had scattered a large plate of black beans from the sky, and with a harsh buzzing sound, they were scattered on the beach.
Even though they knew the scene was going to be spectacular, the Stormtroopers and Lordaeron soldiers on the hill were still almost stunned by the scene. The terrifying scattergun bombardment plowed the entire beach of orcs, which was originally crowded with greenskins. After a round of fire, the guys who were still standing were scattered.
A sieve-like formation appeared in front of the Alliance soldiers.
Just when the alliance soldiers thought victory was within their grasp, a voice suddenly rang out from the battlefield, a continuous and constantly echoed sentence.
"Lok-tar Ogar"
Either victory or death!
Millions of orcs came back to their senses from the shock and shouted the same slogan. The wills of tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people converged into one and turned into a frenzy of anger.
Unfortunately, this craze was extinguished before it could reach the alliance position.
"Pass the order, cast the fire wall!" Duke ordered coldly.
The mage corps of Dalaran immediately set off a high wall of flames on the hillsides of the two Alliance hills.
Fire Wall is not a magic with good cost performance.
To keep the flame burning like a wall, you need to constantly inject mana. For low-level mages, maintaining it for a few minutes will drain all their mana. In most battles, this magic is not very practical.
However, at this most critical point, the appearance of the Fire Wall directly extinguished the Horde's last desperate thought.
Isn't it possible for the orc warrior to become a paladin who can rely on the holy light to become invincible for a short period of time and risk his life to rush through the wall of fire? How much combat power does he have?
This blow immediately destroyed the morale of the Horde.
Finally, the Horde sounded the retreat call.
withdraw?
Is it so easy to withdraw from a beach landing?
Duke didn't know who the commander of the Horde was this time, he was only sure that Orgrim was not here. However, it would not be easy for the Horde to retreat.
Their only way out was in the direction of the east beach, because if they retreated to the west coast, they knew there was a tight defense line of the Alliance there. Moreover, the sea facing the west coast was mostly deep water, so as long as the Kul Tiras fleet was there, they would never be able to get on the transport ship and return alive.
The east is different. Although Stormwind soldiers are guarding the hills along the entire coast from Southshore to Dun Garok in the southeast, the sea off the eastern beach is a shallow water area with a depth of less than 3 meters. The Alliance ships cannot enter, which is the only hope for the Horde.
In fact, the Horde was retreating in that direction, and the transport ships were also moving in that direction, ready to pick up the Horde's warriors.
But, it's not that easy.
"Mogor, have your murlocs go to the sea off the east beach and snipe the orcs."
"Gaooooohlaoo (Yes, my master)!"
Without Duke's order, after seeing the orcs retreat, Lothar personally led the cavalry regiment to pursue them.
This is a rare opportunity to give the fallen dog a beating!
In addition to Llane, who was still not brave enough to take risks and was guarding his own hilltop, he continued to attack the Hordes passing by the hilltop. The bombardment had already extended to the eastern beach. On the western hilltop, Mograine and Abendis had led their troops down the hill like a tiger, chasing after the Hordes and slashing at them.
The battle was drawing to a close on the battlefield. Looking down from the sky, the silver torrent representing the Alliance was half-surrounding the beach, chasing the remaining green along the coastline. the Horde sent out many rearguard troops, but none of them could hold out for long. They were quickly torn apart by the fierce bombardment of the Alliance's long-range weapons on the hills and the fierce attack of the Alliance army.
Quickly engulfed by the human flood.
There was thunderous cheering in the alliance headquarters, and the warmest applause was given to this first and greatest victory since the establishment of the alliance.
"Congratulations, Vice Commander Edmund." The most excited King Trollbane of Stromgradee was the first to come up and shake Duke's hand. The victory of the Alliance will undoubtedly greatly reduce the pressure on Stromgarde. Even if the defense of Thandol Bridge is good, being besieged every day is not a long-term solution.
"Thank you." Duke smiled.
The second person to come up was King Terenas: "As expected, this is a world for the young now. Calia misses you very much, please come to Lordaeron more often when you have time."
The King of Lordaeron made it clear. Duke gritted his teeth and nodded with a dry smile: "Yes, I will go when I have time."
Well, I'm very busy.
The third one is King Genn: "Now it's good. At least I've taught those greenskins a lesson. I don't have to worry about waking up and seeing a bunch of greenskins on the beaches of my kingdom."
"There are still many orcs. We must keep working hard."
The last one is King Aiden. The King of Alterac always gives Duke the feeling of being gloomy, cunning and scheming.
Just when Aiden was about to say something, something strange happened.
A sharp sword pierced through Duke's chest.
"What..."
