The military is a major event for the country, determining life and death, and determining its survival.
Never be prepared.
Moreover, Comrade Carlos Barov has no interest in seeking death.
However, the first shot was fired by the undead natural disaster.
Don't be picky, this first shot refers to a move that breaks the current strategic balance between the alliance and natural disasters.
According to Carlos's schedule, the alliance will need about two weeks to complete the final batch of personnel adjustments and material transfers before launching a full-scale counterattack.
The leaders of various front armies are also making preparations according to this plan, waiting for that day to arrive.
But Kel'Thuzad likes to tell people who think they are well prepared that they are not ready yet.
It was the undead natural disaster that struck first, right on the Baishui River.
The inverted U-shaped terrain of the Stratholme region with three mountains and two plains was mentioned too much, and Uther did not expect that Kel'Thuzad's skeleton was gone, but his bad character remained.
According to the plan, Uther led more than 30,000 elites across the Whitewater River to strategically persecute the undead army staying in the Stratholme area.
Because it was a feint attack, Uther strictly followed the orders of the Alliance Military Headquarters and never crossed the thirty-kilometer red line.
Thirty kilometers, the best rout distance that humans have practiced for a long time.
On the west bank of the White Water River, there are still more than 10,000 soldiers building defensive positions, ready to meet the friendly forces in front. Even if Uther really loses the battle and is defeated, the soldiers will take off their armor and throw away their weapons, and run back to the river on foot. Over there, have a meal, sleep, get new weapons and equipment, and be a qualified leader again the next day.
As long as Uther didn't want to win, Carlos couldn't think of how he could lose.
Then Kel'Thuzad, an inhumane fellow, helped Carlos think about it.
How to lose?
Ambush from all sides.
There are indeed many corrupt criminals in this alliance today, but there are indeed not many imbeciles.
Will the undead use their sleepless nature to forcefully cross the Hengduan Mountains in the middle and take Uther's retreat?
Yes, and the guy from the military department really guessed it.
When Dalaran's mages sent urgent information to Uther via griffin knights instead of magical communications, the Lightbringer knew the opportunity was coming.
If this doesn't stop the Scourge Legion in the mountains and bombard them with food, they deserve to be sent to a military court!
So Uther moved.
He sent an urgent document to Carlos, and mobilized Andorhal's reserve team, plus the response troops on the west bank of the Whitewater River. The alliance's total of more than 70,000 people was ready to attack in the mountainous area about fifty kilometers away from the east bank of the Whitewater River. A massive war of annihilation.
Then, Uther finally understood how inappropriate Kel'Thuzad was.
This dog lich actually buried all the natural disaster soldiers in the soil!
In the early stages of the battle, Uther naturally blocked the undead army that was about to rush out of the mountain col, and a big victory seemed to be within easy reach. However, the resilience of the Undead Scourge made Uther realize that this was by no means a small roundabout force. What he blocked in the mountains was the main force of the Undead Scourge!
So Uther stepped up the game and pulled up the reserve team.
How could this happen? I was obviously the first to come, be it the position or the artillery position, I was the first to seize the favorable terrain! ! !
Uther held the pass for two full days with an elite undead army at least five times his own, waiting for his reserve team.
Unfortunately, it was not only the Alliance that launched the counterattack, but also natural disasters.
When the reinforcements arrived, Uther's troops were as powerful as a rainbow, and the natural disaster of the undead, which was neither sad nor joyful, started to roar.
Hundreds of thousands of skeletal soldiers and ghouls awakened under the summons of the psychic, breaking free from the shackles of the earth and emerging from a depth of two meters underground.
Just by breaking out of the ground and breaking through the hard soil, the undead natural disaster that was buried deep in the ground lost more than five figures of combat units.
After all, Uther is not a fool. Wouldn’t he be able to tell if he was buried too shallow?
But does the Lich King care about the loss of undead?
Will Kel'Thuzad care about the number of toys?
So Uther suffered.
The main attack direction is the elite main force of the undead, and there are a large number of undead emerging from the ground in all directions.
If you retreat, you will definitely die. You can only fight and wait for rescue.
Looking at the terrain he was in, Uther had a strange emotion, as if he had become a mountain col and lost a mountain col.
Dilemma, that's probably it.
If we concentrate our forces to counter the breakout, the undead that emerge from the ground will not be able to stop the 60,000 alliance main battle troops under Uther.
But doing this would be equivalent to opening a gap and letting the main undead force in the mountain come out.
Those who cannot run back fifty kilometers will be eaten by the undead army one by one.
By dividing the troops, we might be able to send some troops back, but whoever stays will go. We are not running out of ammunition and food at the moment. There are still 20,000 troops in Anhador alone that have not been moved, and there are also a large number of friendly troops in Hearthglen and Barrier Pass. The last 100,000 troops on the Alterac Plateau are still waiting to be mobilized.
No matter how Uther thought, there was no need for a strong man to cut off his wrist.
What nonsense are you talking about? We sent a messenger to break out of the encirclement to ask for help, and the entire army stood still waiting for help!
There are more than 60,000 people, plus a large amount of supplies brought by the reserve team of more than 30,000 people when they arrive.
Come, let's fight.
Kel'Thuzad's plan succeeded. With an ambush that took advantage of people's hearts and a perfect soil work, Carlos's main battle force deployed to the east was surrounded.
But Kel'Thuzad's plan was not completely successful, because the messenger Uther Ironhead did not panic at all, nor did he retreat, but chose to fight head-on.
Successful, but not completely successful, the difficult choice was placed in Carlos' hands.
From a tactical point of view, Uther's choice was correct, but from a strategic point of view, there was a problem.
Now Carlos doesn't dare to laugh at the Germans during World War II. The battle plans for hundreds of thousands of people were interlocking, so how could they change them.
Attacking the west and defending the east is an established strategy. All battle tactics serve this strategic purpose. Dozens of millions of people and hundreds of millions of gold coins are mobilized according to this principle.
It is not difficult to rescue Uther. The main battle force of about 40,000 people can open a gap for Uther's troops to retreat to the west bank of the White Water River calmly.
But the difficulty is that Carlos, who has an army of 500,000, really cannot mobilize 40,000 to support Uther at this time.
It is unrealistic to push the undead disaster in the direction of Lordaeron from the front of Silverpine Mountain Road, so the plan formulated by the Alliance is to bloom on three sides.
Garithos's legion, the legion of Hearthglen, and the fleet deployed by the Alliance Navy into Lake Lordaemir, used force from three directions at the same time to pull the huge undead army in Lordaeron into a geographically incompatible one. three parts.
Therefore, the troops in Alterac City cannot move. They have to be loaded onto ships to land on the beach.
Therefore, the troops at the barrier gate cannot move, and they must carry out counterattack operations.
Hillsbrad can mobilize enough troops, but it's too far away and there's no chance.
Hearthglen and Andorhal can also mobilize enough troops, but they are too scattered to support them.
Fighting emergencies is like putting out fires. Uther guarantees that he can hold on for ten days, but it is impossible for the Alliance to use nine days to think about where to dispatch rescue troops.
The last weight that prompted Carlos to have a full-scale attack was Kael'thas's magical communication.
"Carlos, I discovered Kel'Thuzad's purpose. He is in the Alliance Magic Network. He is either preparing some world-destroying magic that will destroy the world, or he is preparing to summon something terrible."
In an instant, like a silver snake breaking through the sky, and like the Milky Way hanging upside down and shaking the night sky, Carlos realized.
"Hey, Magic Communications Office, pick up Garithos for me."
"Hey, Garithos, order 1573, execute immediately. No reason, just execute the order."
"Hey, Magic Communications Office, pick me up from Alterac City."
"Hey, dad, plan ahead, yes, there are unexpected situations, um, um, okay."
"Hey, Magic Communications Office, pick up Alessandro for me."
"Hey, Mograine? What, can't you hear me louder? Can you fucking go back to the command room and pick up the magic communication again? I'll fuck you **** T!!! Order 177, execute it immediately! "
"Hey, Magic Communications Office, pick me up from the Navy Command."
…
This is the current alliance, an alliance that takes three hours to issue a general offensive order.
This is already a huge progress, and it is lightened by the power of magic.
Coordinating millions of people at the same time can be done with just one sentence in a knight. With a single order from XX, a million-strong army can do whatever they want.
But Carlos just informed the plan in advance, and the night was already late.
After casually taking a shower, Carlos took the time to eat something, only to find that he was so busy that he missed both lunch and dinner.
"Want some?"
"I'm not hungry."
"Then I'll tell you straight."
"Tastin listens to your will."
"I want the troll to prove his loyalty one last time."
"I'm very sad. You can always trust your loyal subordinates. Loyalty only needs to be tested, not proven."
"Gou Tajin, I didn't bring you here in such a hurry just to listen to your newfound flattery."
"You tell me something."
