The war entered a stalemate.
People will die in war, and the 300,000 people from the Western Front who came out of Silver Pine Mountain Road are already the result of replenishing the reserves.
The actual situation is that it is still two days and one month since the launch of the campaign. The alliance has invested a total force of more than 600,000 and divided it into two battle groups in the east and west to fight at the same time.
The final result was that with 140,000 killed and a total of more than 250,000 withdrawing from the battle, the siege of Lordaeron was finally completed.
Although it is estimated that there are still more than 400,000 Scourge forces in Lordaeron, the re-opening of land transportation lines has made the alliance's current strategic situation suddenly clear.
I can finally take a breath.
Carlos patted Mograine on the shoulder, handed him temporary command, and fell into bed to sleep.
This was his first real break in more than a month.
War not only kills people, but also consumes materials without a bottom line. The beginning of the battle was an accident, and the alliance was not fully prepared.
Therefore, from grain and grass to ordnance to finance and manpower mobilization, everything is just a matter of rushing ducks to the shelves.
The Alterac Plateau and Lake Lordaemir divided the human territory north of the Arathi Highlands into a donut shape. Completing the encirclement of the city of Lordaeron was equivalent to completely opening up the entire alliance's transportation lines. The intuitive point is that the cavalry regiment can be replaced to garrison at the barrier gate, and the elite infantry in Mograine's hands can be transferred to siege the city.
Unlike the city of Lordaeron, where the Undead Scourge broke out, because Carlos stubbornly fought the two battles of Andorhal, Hearthglen was relatively less contaminated by the Scourge and Plague, and the self-healing ability of nature is still in full play. effect.
In other words, the land east of the Barrier Pass can still grow grass that horses can eat.
Transferring more than half of the cavalry to Andorhal not only greatly eased the alliance's logistical pressure, but also saved Tirion Fordring from having to die for his country. Uther finally saw hope.
With one piece falling, the game was full of chess, and even the speculators who had previously no longer supported the war changed their style.
Ten thousand years is too long, it is our duty to seize every day and restore Lordaeron.
However, Carlos just likes to say no to these idiots who don't understand military affairs.
The fighting calmed down.
There are two reasons.
First, the army was exhausted. Both the physical and mental abilities of the personnel have reached the edge of disorder after several battles. Material reserves and transportation capacity are on the verge of collapse due to the tragic war.
It’s impossible not to rest and recuperate.
The once rich and prosperous essence of the Kingdom of Lordaeron has been polluted by natural disasters and plagues. Even drinking water needs to be transported from the rear, and the war can no longer be fought.
The second is the confusing decision-making of the Undead Scourge.
After the great pursuit of Garithos, the alliance achieved a battle-loss ratio of 1 to 5.3, which was a brilliant achievement.
However, why the undead are called natural disasters is because of their terrifying infection ability and proliferation characteristics.
Collecting the remains of fallen soldiers and treating the wounded and sick, the Alliance's available combat power is greatly reduced in places like Lordaeron City where supplies cannot be obtained on the spot.
At this time, hundreds of thousands of undead troops were still scattered outside Lordaeron.
It’s really amazing how many people there are.
But at this time, the confusing tricks of the Undead Scourge came.
When Carlos was ready to recreate the classic, the Undead Scourge took the initiative to shrink its troops.
Not only did they retract the troops in the west of Lordaeron back into the city, they even retracted the 200,000 troops blocking Mograine in the east within the city walls.
It can simply be called the confusion of the world.
Yes, the reason why the siege of Lordaeron was completed so easily was because the Undead Scourge gave up the initiative on the battlefield.
Let’s talk about the issue of classic reproduction.
Carlos, who had slept for two whole days and nights, opened his eyes before lunch.
Carlos asked as he sat down next to the wooden box covered with a piece of cloth that served as a dining table and chatted with Mograine while eating.
"What do you think is the most proud battle in my life?"
Mograine is one generation younger than Carlos. Even the Paladin's professional code of conduct was compiled by Carlos. But Comrade Ashbringer dares to shame Uther, the acting leader, how can he be a good leader? Kudos to Carlos.
"The one where you died before victory?"
Carlos was stunned for a moment and stared at Alessandro Mograine with the eyes of "You are stupid but your father loves you."
"It was the first battle in my life, the one in the Hinterlands against the trolls."
"Oh, you plotted... well, you plotted the troll treasure."
Carlos thought for a while and decided that it was not appropriate to kill a senior general to sacrifice to heaven. Forget it, why didn't he realize that Mograine was a big troll before? Maybe he was under too much pressure from the war. Please forgive him.
"It's not about money, it's about strategy."
"Carlos, I'm only three years younger than you. It's not a secret that you went to the Hinterlands to make a fortune. Forgive me for being blunt. What kind of strategy is building a bunker?"
It is estimated that Mograine also found that he had been busy for two days and two nights in a row, and he was a bit angry and had a bad mouth, so he adjusted his mentality.
"Have you not noticed that since the Second Orc War, we humans, um, alliances, the alliance's wars are becoming more and more different from before. For example, Emperor Thoradin and the High Elves teamed up to defeat the Troll Empire. In the final analysis, there is still a plan. Emperor Thoradin fought and retreated, and finally brought the troll into the ambush circle arranged by the high elves."
Carlos looked at Mograine, who filled his glass and motioned for him to continue.
"Then, starting from the fight against the orcs, many people felt that they could no longer fight. To be honest, I was the same way at the beginning. Strategy pales in comparison to the huge gap in combat effectiveness. In every key battle, we use our lives and beliefs to Go for a hard change.”
"It feels a bit like what you said. Our Knights of the Silver Hand fought against the Blackstone Orcs in the Burning Land. The same is true. No matter how good the tactical arrangement is, it rarely fails in the end. The simplest and most effective strategy is to arrange bait and surround ambush."
"So have you ever wondered why this happens?"
"That's not what I should be thinking about."
"..."
Carlos suddenly felt frustrated and wanted to kill a comrade to cheer him up.
"Forget it, don't get too deep. Let's just talk about the battle in the Hinterlands. Do you know what I am most satisfied with?"
"Can you please stop being pretentious? If I said that what you are most satisfied with is making money from fighting, you would drag me out to learn martial arts."
"...Let's go, let's go now."
"No, I haven't finished my meal yet."
After a childish tussle between grown men, Carlos continued.
"It's about cost and benefit. I used the least cost to get the greatest benefit."
"Isn't that just making money?"
"Come, Ashbringer, let me play with you."
"No, so you are planning to build a bunker outside Lordaeron?"
"It's about building a fortress."
"It's not appropriate. There are at least 400,000 undead souls in the city right now. It's hard to repair them."
"Uther can't delay it."
Carlos drank the last of his drink and tapped his finger on the tablecloth.
