We must concentrate our superior forces to carry out strategic decisive battles, we must concentrate our superior firepower to clear the ground, and we must race against time to seize time.
Forward, forward, forward, the only target is the city of Lordaeron.
The original plan was that the alliance's main force of 500,000 would be divided into 300,000 troops from the Western Front and 200,000 from the Eastern Front for a three-line general offensive.
Uther led about 100,000 people to take advantage of the terrain to contain the undead army of about 600,000 in the Stratholme area, and Alexandro Mograine led 70,000 people to launch a counterattack against the undead west of the Barrier Pass. Charge, Tirion Fordring took over the task of guarding the barrier pass, and commanded the remaining 30,000 Eastern Front troops as a reserve force to put out the fire.
On the eastern front, Garithos' Lordaeron Legion was the main force, and the force was strengthened to 200,000 people to launch a storm from Silverpine Pass. Carlos personally led 100,000 people across Lake Lordaeron to land on the beach and open up the fourth battlefield. .
There are about 70,000 scattered troops left responsible for suppressing possible sporadic raids by undead natural disasters within sight.
However, after intense mental calculations, Carlos rejected his original plan.
It seems that everything is stable, but in fact it is weak. If this battle plan is used, no matter whether it is the eastern or western front or the barrier, there will be no results.
Because the power is too spread out.
Time is on humanity's side. With the current situation, even if the battle lines are in a stalemate, as long as the Scourge of the Undead cannot break through the barrier and attack Silverpine Pass, humanity will definitely win when Stormwind City joins the battle or the night elves provide support.
But humans are humans, and the alliance is an alliance. The victory of the alliance is naturally the victory of humans, but the victory of humans is not necessarily the victory of the alliance.
Carlos knew very well that the alliance could only fight for one battle.
This battle plan is too conservative.
If one hundred thousand people are enough to defend Silverpine Mountain Road and Bulwark Pass, and 400,000 people are mobilized to clear out the Stratholme area, this battle will be won.
Can we not win? The numbers are almost one to one. How can a skeleton be compared with a tin can?
But no, recovering Stratholme will not solve the problem. There is only one root cause of the problem, the city of Lordaeron.
Therefore, Carlos revised the battle plan and must give Garithos an absolute superior force.
Uther's troops transferred 20,000 troops and completely gave up the possibility of advancing to the west of Guanxi. They changed the main attack direction to a feint attack. Then they transferred 10,000 troops and left. The reserves of the Eastern Front Army also transferred 10,000 troops. That's it. The 40,000 main battle troops are well equipped.
The troops who landed on the beach were also cut in half. Carlos personally acted as a bait, and the cross-sea battle turned into a strategic deception, resulting in an additional 50,000 troops.
The suppressive force responsible for maintaining stability also allocated 10,000 to round up the total to 100,000.
This is the true meaning of the 100,000 troops gathered in Alterac City.
It is not a follow-up regiment, but a reinforced regiment that goes to the Western Front to strengthen the Garithos Division.
What the Undead Scourge detected through various means was only the initial version. Only less than twenty people in the entire alliance knew about Carlos's magically modified version.
And these people are all high-level paladins, and they communicate with Carlos through blinding Holy Light communication, with MAX reliability.
It was precisely because the Eastern Front's troops were mobilized too hard that Uther was besieged. The theoretical army of 200,000 could not spare any manpower for rescue.
Plan to give up?
How is it possible? Not to mention that Carlos disagrees, and neither does the beleaguered Uther.
What is the Eastern Front used for?
It was used to contain the elite undead left behind by Alsace.
Elite versus elite, they managed to block a large group of undead in the mountains. If they don't attack now, are they waiting to wet the bed?
Sixty thousand people, the best of the best, have built fortifications. Before they are exhausted and their ammunition and food are gone, the undead can't eat even if they surround them.
This is the fundamental reason why Uther dared to issue a military order and he would be able to hold on for ten days.
Kel'Thuzad's strategy is convincing, and his imaginative way of hiding troops is convincing, but the choice of location is the fairness of nature.
If Uther wants to block the undead in the mountains, he will naturally choose the mountain pass. Although his escape route is cut off by more than 100,000 undead buried in the soil, the undead can only attack from the front and back. The 60,000 people in the alliance only need to face each other from two sides. enemy.
There is a big difference between facing enemies on two sides and ambush on all sides.
Surrounded by the plain terrain, the camp of 60,000 people has defense holes everywhere. As long as the undead natural disasters are determined to charge, the alliance will become a small war group with thousands of people and hundreds of people, and then be defeated by forces several times their own. The undead are divided and destroyed.
But the mountains are different. As long as Uther doesn't leave and camp on the same spot, the wood and stone are readily available, and if he forms a camp and defends it, the natural disasters will have no choice but to play a game of cheating with the Alliance.
Even as long as a fresh force breaks a hole from the outside, Uther's tribe can retreat calmly.
Uther thought of it, so on the letter the messenger brought to Carlos, there were three blood-red words, North! Go north! Go north!
Carlos also thought about it. At this time, Uther had contained the most powerful undead natural disaster in the Stratholme region. If he didn't attack now, it would be much later!
War preparations can never be perfect, and offense is the best defense! ! !
Silver Pine Mountain Road cannot accommodate 300,000 Alliance soldiers.
If you want to break through the sea of undead that is like a roaring mountain and a tsunami, you can only crush it with iron and blood.
To this end, Carlos secretly allocated production capacity four months ago to modify a batch of armor-reinforced self-explosion tanks, model codenamed: Loving Father.
Garithos didn't know what his virtues and abilities were, but he had gained such trust from Carlos that he actually arranged for himself to be the main offensive commander.
It was not until the moment before the attack that he learned the complete battle plan and realized that he had changed from the secondary attack direction to the main attack direction.
Fear, yes.
Excited, yes.
Underneath the mixed thoughts, there is a boldness that dares to make the sun and moon change the sky.
On this night when Carlos led his troops to board the ship, Mograine spent the night wiping the Ashbringer, and Uther fought bloody battles, Garithos also lost sleep.
At dawn, Alessandro took the lead and rushed out of the barrier. Carlos and Dailin's inner lake fleet landed against the undead's shore defense firepower.
And Garithos watched as the steam-breathing iron father rolled over the skeletal soldiers, crushed the ghouls, and exploded into thousands of fragments harvesting the will of the dead under the obstruction of the hatred and death knights.
It exploded so cleanly, unlike ordinary steam tanks that could only serve as bunkers for follow-up troops after being scrapped.
Watching the heroic pilot give up his life for the sake of more lives, there is only one thing Garithos can do, don't let the sacrifice of the martyrs be in vain.
The undead scourge can attack day and night, and so can the Alliance!
With an army of 300,000, Garithos simply did not have the ability to command it overall. He had only one role, supervising each legion to attack in the order planned.
Attack, attack, attack again, completely break through the blockade of the Silver Pine Mountain Road by the Undead Scourge, completely eliminate the Undead Scourge in front of us, and launch an attack on the city of Lordaeron with the 80,000 Lordaeron Legion as the core of the assault.
"It is our duty to regain our homeland. I will protect the glory of Lordaeron!"
One hour after sunrise, the specially-arrived Alliance Air Force completed its assembly, and the war on the Western Front began in full swing.
