The preparation work is never done.
So between "You're not ready yet" and "You're asking for your own death", the latter is easier to understand and more powerful.
Although both have almost the same meaning.
Is the Alliance ready for Andorhal's counterattack?
not at all.
The troops are not fully in place, the armaments are not fully prepared, everything is lacking and everything is bad, and it looks like it is in ruins.
How to fight this battle?
Just push it out from the front.
If you simply focus on the alliance side of Andorhal, it will naturally look like it will die early and be reborn.
The problem is, we are not prepared for the undead natural disaster!
As soon as they mentioned this, the paladins no longer felt sleepy and became fully energetic.
In fact, the Undead Scourge had given up on this offensive aspect after the first offensive and defensive battle in Andorhal.
Otherwise, what else can be done?
They can't get down after fighting, and they can't retreat, so they can only block a way to escape.
So Arthas led the main force of the Scourge north to Stratholme, leaving a lot of skeletons and ghouls blocking the outskirts of Stratholme.
The Scourge Legion's tactical purpose is very clear. As long as the human race hinders His Highness the Prince's attack, he can take his time south of Andorhal.
After all, the ultimate goal of the Lich King is to create wonders. The moment the cosmic wonder named [Archimund] is built, the game is directly won.
Who can compete with the ruthless Carlos in micromanaging?
Ner'zhul had no idea that Carlos knew what he was thinking, which gave Carlos the perfect opportunity to cause trouble.
After all, there were more than 200,000 skeleton soldiers and ghouls, and they still had an absolute advantage in terms of numbers.
If the Scourge continues to draw troops from Lordaeron to fill the hole in Andorhal, the Alliance really has no good solution but to continue to play fueling tactics with the Undead Scourge to fill this flesh and blood mill.
In the end, Carlos broke out with a small number of elites and counterattacked northward to chase Alsace in a desperate manner.
This was not the result he wanted.
The breakthrough in the current situation does not lie in the numerical comparison of military strength, but in the different strategic priorities of the two warring parties.
The Lich King and his number one henchman Arthas want to conquer Silvermoon City and seize the Sunwell.
Therefore, the Scourge of the Undead is offensive in the north and defensive in the south.
The alliance army, whether on the eastern or western front, is under huge pressure for survival and public opinion, and must take the offensive.
Such differences in strategic purposes naturally led the two sides to adopt different battlefield tactics.
For example, outside Andorhal, the commander of the Undead Scourge even gave up the idea of gathering a large army to fight the human army head-on, and instead scattered more than 200,000 of the Scourge's minions into a flower.
Your alliance army wants to break out?
Okay, let's eliminate them one ghoul at a time.
Just miss one and the logistics will become a joke.
What is this called?
As long as I don’t want to win, I will never lose!
When the undead natural disasters, which already have a numerical advantage, use delaying tactics, the effect is simply outstanding.
The reason is simple, because it is impossible for the alliance army to leave such a large group of infectious sources alone and use its limited army to guard such a so-called transportation channel.
In a casino, you can make twenty million for seven bucks, no problem.
In the intelligence field, there may be some clever strategies that can change the situation and earn him 100 million.
But on the battlefield, any paper plan is fake and will eventually be implemented with real swords and guns.
The commanders of the Undead Scourge are indeed smart.
Their delaying tactics really hit the league's soft spot.
In the long run, time is on the league's side.
But looking over a short period of time, time is clearly on the Scourge's side.
As long as Silver Moon City is breached and the Sunwell is taken by force, it will be too late.
Therefore, under the guidance of this tactical thinking, the more than 200,000 natural disaster minions besieging Andorhal were evenly distributed into an encirclement zone that was tight on the inside and loose on the outside.
If the Alliance of Andorhal wants to come out unimpeded, the only option is to annihilate all the undead soldiers.
is it possible?
"Carlos really guessed it."
When Uther showed the plan to Tirion Fordring, both of them had strange expressions.
Is this a guess?
This is obviously a secret leaked by a young man!
Carlos perfectly "predicted" the movements of the undead disaster and designated a super targeted strategy.
It is true that the response to the undead natural disaster is reasonable. Giving up the numerical advantage of the large army and instead using the contagiousness of the natural disaster to force the alliance to carry out a laborious annihilation battle is a tactic of exchanging quantity for time that is in line with the characteristics of the undead.
But this is not without side effects.
This also means that the minions of the natural disaster have given up the initiative on the battlefield, with the words "hit me" written all over their faces.
Don't forget, the mobility of the Undead Scourge is based on the premise of never sleeping.
Human soldiers need sleep and rest, and war machines need maintenance, but undead minions do not.
In fact, although the ghoul's short-distance sprinting ability is pretty good, long-distance pursuit is just that. As for the skeleton soldiers, those who don't understand them don't understand them, and those who don't understand them are hacked to death.
From the fact that so many refugees were able to escape the tragedy in Lordaeron, we can see something about the mobility of the Undead Scourge.
The overall movement speed of the Undead Scourge is a flaw!
Under this factual premise, there are big problems with the tactics of besieging Andogar.
If, as Carlos imagines, there is such a powerful force that can quickly penetrate the defense line of the undead natural disaster and cut open the entire undead defense zone.
So, is it possible to cut the minions of natural disasters into small groups?
Everyone knows the truth, and what Carlos says is almost all nonsense.
But what about those 20,000 sets of heavy armor with shields that are comparable to the Iron Bastard?
Carlos himself still stayed in the Alterac Plateau area to coordinate the subsequent ice sheet transportation.
But the main combat unit has assembled more than 70,000 people in Andorhal.
A large number of mages, engineers, more than a hundred artillery pieces, a small number of steam tanks, six brigades of gryphon knights, and an entire regiment of dwarf flying machines.
There is also the full Order of the Silver Hand.
So Uther and Tirion actually had the capital to launch a battle.
The top leaders of the alliance have no idea about being infiltrated into a sieve by the cursed sect.
According to their opinion, the Holy Knights of the Silver Hand should be split into hundreds of squads, and one legion should be investigated one by one, and all suspicious elements should be caught and sacrificed to heaven.
However, Barov and his son, who made their fortune from the Great Purge, unanimously rejected such a request.
Alex Barov believes that the Great Purge is only a means rather than an end, and that internal purges at this time are not conducive to uniting the majority.
Carlos Barov believes that playing cards has its advantages, and time waits for no one.
So when the Scourge Legion learned that the Alliance Legion in Andorhal was going to use the most severe methods to deal with the minions of the Scourge, they simply burst into laughter.
