In his previous life, Carlos was also a fan of online novels.
When I watched it back then, it was just for fun. It didn’t matter whether it made sense or not. I just wanted to watch it for fun.
However, when it was my turn to wear it, I realized that reading randomly would kill people.
What kind of modern industrial system, what kind of firearms clear the way for civilization to crush, it seems that if we don’t play the industrial revolution, we will be eliminated by history.
Although what he said was true, it was also very refreshing to do it.
But I can’t do it...
The assembly line is part of industrialization, but industrialization is definitely not a simple assembly line.
Not to mention the mass production of aircraft and artillery, the countries of Lordaeron cannot even produce armor on a large scale.
Putting aside the topic of industrialization, just talking about industrialization is a long-standing problem.
Carlos worked hard to build a steel city, and the annual steel production is expected to reach 700,000 tons.
Is it awesome?
Compared with the world of Azeroth and other racial countries at the same time, it is really amazing.
Is it really awesome?
In actual production and life, it is like throwing a pebble into the endless sea, which cannot make any splash.
On a planet called Blue Star in another world, there is a country called Flower Planter. One city's annual steel output is 68,000 tons.
There is no use hiding something like technology. If you dare to use it, others will dare to imitate it. Since Carlos came to power, the biggest military innovation has been the popularization of bow and arrow shaft cutting technology in the royal weapons workshop in Alterac.
This is also the biggest reason why Carlos dares to rain down arrows at every turn.
But look at the orcs in other tribes, and then look at yourself, the gap between orcs and humans is so big.
Without waiting for Magni's signal, Carlos took a detour, missed the Wolf Cavalry's reconnaissance route, and turned directly to the side of Caranos.
Karanos is an important town built by the dwarves in the plains at the foot of Ironforge Mountain. Its status and function are the same as Goldsmith outside Stormwind City.
But at this time, Karanos had already been burned in the repeated battles in previous battles.
Bypassing the small group of tribal guards lurking in the ruins, Carlos stood on the rock and observed the tribe's trebuchet troops from a medium distance, and expressed real emotion - Stormwind City's defeat was not unjust.
Trebuchet. In other words, mature trebuchets are generally divided into two types.
The first type is a torque trebuchet, also known as a trebuchet. The firing principle of this trebuchet is to use means such as a torque spring to pull down the throwing handle connected to the horizontal axis. After releasing the caliper, fire the projectile.
The advantages of the torsion trebuchet are that it is relatively small in size, easy to move, and has relatively high shooting accuracy. It is a very excellent small and medium-sized engineering weapon. It can also be used as a medium-range fire suppression weapon.
The disadvantage is that the industrialization level of the orcs is not very good, and they cannot make steel torsion shafts. Most of the torsion springs are still animal tendons, which cause greater loss, shorter range, and difficult maintenance.
The other type is the legendary siege artifact, the weighted lever trebuchet.
Utilizing asymmetrical weight arms and throw arms, coupled with the adjustability of the weight box, and the relative ease of material assembly production. It can be called an example of indiscriminate bombing.
In addition to the disadvantage of not being able to move after deployment, the cumbersome loading and closing of the throwing arm is a major problem that restricts the rate of fire of the counterweighted lever trebuchet. However, the orcs themselves are very strong, and they also enslave an unscientific species like the ogres. This makes the weighted lever trebuchet that fires at a rate of three to five minutes in the hands of humans become a fire rate of once a minute when it comes to the tribe. A terrifying killing machine.
The sky full of stone bullets suppressed the dwarves' advancement. Under the bombardment of half a ton of stone bullets, the steam tank's armor plate could only be deformed and broken if two more stone bullets were hit, not to mention the fragile connection parts.
Mountain roads are difficult to travel, and mountain roads covered with ice and snow are even more difficult to travel.
Although the Alterac people had no shortage of experience in walking in the snow-capped mountains, the marching team was still very long.
Carlos couldn't wait to join the attack right now. But his reason and experience told him that it would take at least half an hour to finish the team.
"Admiral Dai Lin deserves the greatest credit."
Carlos suddenly sighed.
"Admiral, Lord Daelin Proudmoore?"
Ymir asked unclearly.
"If the orcs of the tribe were allowed to transport these things to Hillbrad, if the Alliance Navy hadn't desperately blocked the transportation line of the tribe, the consequences would be disastrous. Although we won in the north, looking at the orcs in front of us, I Suddenly I felt like we were lucky to win.”
Carlos was touched by the tragic offensive and defensive battle in front of him and made his own comments.
"But we still won, Your Majesty. The ferocity of the enemy can only reflect our bravery. Under your leadership, we will win again and keep winning."
Ymir said firmly.
He is good at flattering!
Although Carlos was very happy to hear this, he was not prepared to answer the question.
An army of three thousand people marched in, and their traces could not be blocked at all. Carlos's hidden advantage now was to launch an offensive before the orcs' wolf cavalry reconnoitred their way back.
Dwarf cannonballs require manpower, materials, and time to cast, but tribal stone bullets are much easier to collect.
If Carlos cannot seize the opportunity to attack the orcs' fortress and destroy the orcs' weapons and equipment, then even if Magni has a good battle loss ratio on the front, strategically speaking, the alliance will lose. What's more, as the party taking the initiative to attack, Magni's battle losses must not be small.
Who knows when the orc reinforcements will arrive.
"No wait, gather the troops, we are ready to go."
Although there are still at least 600 troops that have not been integrated, Carlos is unwilling to wait any longer.
A general was left at the roll call to continue the work of gathering the manpower. After the assembled soldiers each identified their commanders, they formed a slightly scattered assault formation and followed their king into the spruce forest where the canopy was suppressed by drifting snow.
On the battlefield, the more complex the order, the harder it is to implement it. The more intense the battle, the more blank the mind becomes.
Carlos's order was simple - follow me.
Even if he is a hero worthy of being recorded in an epic poem, he may be able to change the situation of a battle by himself, but he cannot influence the outcome of a war.
But the outcome of the war must be determined one battle after another.
Bypassing the main road, on the flank of the tribal fortress, the orcs planted bowl-sized sharpened logs upside down on the ground, and boiled water to pour on the backfill. This kind of fence is strong and easy to build.
Although the orcs had noticed through various traces that an unknown force had sneaked into their defense area, Carlos did not want to expose his movements until the last moment.
Do not use explosive arrows or explosive packs to violently demolish buildings. It can only be constructed manually.
Carlos personally came on stage and led a group of paladins to the thick log pile with heavy weapons such as axes and sledgehammers.
Bursts of sacred light flashed through, and the paladins wrapped themselves in blessings and tightened their tendons. He was kicked and smashed, and a gap of more than 20 meters wide was opened with brute force.
"Quick, quick, keep up!"
The officers lowered their voices and shouted.
The larger soldiers crossed the stubble of the wooden fence in one leap, while the smaller soldiers had a little more difficulty. Be smart and throw your weapons, shields, backpacks, etc. over first. Pass by lightly and pick up the equipment. Those who are not so clever need help from their comrades who have gone there first.
Although the scene was a bit chaotic, the efficiency was not bad.
For humans, the gap is not an obstacle, but for dwarves, it is a bit difficult. Carlos crossed the fence, stretched out his hand to Hemet, and with a strong force, he pulled the dwarf officer over.
Invading the orcs' defense range, you must move quickly. Ignoring the previous arrangements, Carlos quickly grouped his men into groups of two hundred to three hundred people. Then he was sent out, and he stayed in place waiting for the cavalry to assemble.
Soon, black smoke rose into the sky. It was unclear whether it was the orcs' early warning or the result of the human soldiers' victory.
"The scheduled assembly point is in the northwest. The cavalry cannot be dispersed like the infantry. Find a way out, Hemet."
Carlos saw that the personnel were almost assembled and gave the order to Hemet.
"North, go north, then west. This road can be used for horse racing."
As a local snake, Hemet did not disappoint Carlos. After observing for a moment, he gave his answer.
The men and horses took action. After more than ten minutes of rapid march, Carlos encountered the first orc fortress stuck at a dangerous intersection.
"Damn it. When did the orcs build a war fortress here?"
Hemet cursed anxiously.
"Soldiers, the outing is over, prepare for battle!"
Carlos didn't mean to blame Hemet at all, because war is always full of unexpected situations.
Although they wanted to march a little further in concealment, the soldiers of Alterac were not afraid of fighting.
The battle with the dwarves on the front battlefield involved a lot of energy from the orcs, so that the orcs in the rear were a little relaxed or nervous. Knowing that Carlos's troops were a hundred steps closer to the orcs' war fortress. The sentry sounded the alarm.
But it was too late.
The rain of arrows was mixed with explosive arrows, which fell into the orcs' fortress like birds returning to their nests. Amidst the roar, the human soldiers took advantage of the orcs' first wave of chaos to move away the horse-blocking stakes and obstacles, and then broke the fortress gate. bolt, and used ropes and hooks to pull the door open.
Then, there was a brutal fight.
This thing like a fortress is like a turtle shell covered with thorns. Breaking down one layer of defense will reveal another layer of defense waiting for you.
Even with the advantage of taking the lead, Carlos still paid nearly 200 casualties before clearing the war fortress.
If we did not talk about repeated urging and issuing death orders to storm, the casualties might be less, but it would definitely take more time.
There was no time to count the dead in detail.
Leaving a small number of healthy soldiers and dwarf guides to help evacuate the wounded, Carlos led the remaining troops to the agreed assembly point quickly.
There, there is an orc trebuchet position.
The sun has set to the west.
Orc Warlords direct the battle from the front lines.
It's not good. This time the dwarves' attack was stronger than expected. The 59 was like a mad dog on the battlefield, as if it was protected by the gods. Under the overwhelming bombardment of rocks, , unscathed. The dwarves' hand-pushed artillery has advanced a full two hundred meters. In the trenches, the orc soldiers and the dwarf commandos are fighting hand-to-hand. On the plains, gunfire, projectiles and crossbow arrows come and go, outlines on the plains of Dun Morogh. A scene of war.
"Lord Overseer, there is an unknown number of troops attacking our fortress from behind. It seems to be a human army!"
Panting, the orderly soldier found the warlord on the battlefield. However, before he could breathe a sigh of relief, a stray arrow hit the poor orc in the temple. The loyal orc soldier collapsed to the ground weakly, and his eyes lost their original luster. .
There was no time to regret that life was fleeting. The warlord pointed at a soldier beside him and took out a token.
"Let the Wolf Riders move."
Although hearing that the enemy was a human made the orc warlord nervous, he still spoke in a nonchalant and even contemptuous tone.
In the battle to destroy the Kingdom of Stormwind, the tribe established a sense of superiority over humans. The soldiers did not take the small group of rebellious human troops in the rear seriously. Many people believed that the failure of the tribe army in the Northern Expedition was only due to the high-level officials. Intrigue.
But the warlord understood that Orgrim's talents were far superior to his own.
Suppressing the uneasiness in his heart, the warlord continued to direct the battle with the dwarves.
As long as the dwarf attack is repelled, everything is possible.
Less than a thousand meters away, the master of Ironforge and the King of the Bronzebeard Dwarves, Magni Bronzebeard, observed the situation on the battlefield through a telescope.
The black-robed mage Raistlin was left behind in Ironforge, while Sola gave full play to my willful nature as a woman and followed him onto the battlefield.
"Report, the air force found fire and black smoke in the orcs' rear camp."
Living in Ironforge, the relationship between the dwarves and the dwarves was very close, and the great craftsman even directly handed over the command of the dwarf army to his friend Magni.
After hearing the dwarf officer's report, Magni was confused for a moment, and then he understood in his heart that the King of Alterac had exhausted his patience and took action first.
"He is indeed a trustworthy person."
Magni nodded, seeming to be talking to the people around him, and also seemed to be talking to himself.
"Of course, the man I like can't be an ordinary person."
"Haha, Your Majesty the Princess is joking. Your Majesty Carlos has done such a righteous act, and I can't be petty. Let the treasure house guards be prepared. How can we let our allies bear the pressure for us in the dwarves' war."
After Magni finished speaking, he put away the telescope, and then ordered his herald to shoot three red flares into the sky.
When Sora heard the word "Princess", he felt an extra pound lighter.
Use diplomatic pressure to force Carlos to give in. Sora, oh Sora, your operation is worth 82 points, and the remaining 18 points are simply 666.
The narcissistic female elf seemed to want to go to the battlefield with Magni so that she could show off her heroic appearance as the "Princess of Alterac", but was stopped by the officers of the Ironforge Dwarf Guards.
"Distinguished guests, please just watch the battle here. Next, please watch carefully, the pride of our Bronzebeard dwarves."
Bending down to watch the short boy talking to him, Sola was keenly aware of the abnormality.
"I go!"
The female elf looked behind her and couldn't help but curse.
Behind the position, Magni and the tallest of a group of dwarves were performing some kind of ceremony. During the ceremony, these dwarves seemed to be on drugs. Their heights soared, their skin hardened like granite, and their original two-handed axes and warhammers The dwarf who had been transformed into a giant was carrying it with one hand.
When this group of dwarves, who were generally two meters away, walked onto the battlefield with heavy steps, all the dwarves were greatly inspired and became as powerful as a rainbow.
The stone slingshots and crossbows hit the bodies of the hill kings, and the granite-like skin rubbed against sparks and deflected the orc attacks, leaving the dwarf warriors unscathed.
"Damn dwarf magic, let the shamans prepare, bloodthirsty magic! I need bloodthirsty!"
The orc warlord no longer had the energy to think about the situation at the rear, and the gang of stone men rushed up. (To be continued.).
