It is difficult to defend an isolated city, even if the undead and natural disasters do not require food, drink and diarrhea.
Carlos's determined offensive determination collapsed in the face of the Undead Scourge's more determined defensive will.
There is no way, the attack is for victory, not for the pleasure of dying.
It's really nice to talk about an army of 500,000 at every turn, but these troops really eat Barov's rice.
No, no, no, no one thinks that the wheat from Stromgarde will supply the Alliance military supplies for free.
Although the undead in Lordaeron took the initiative to shrink their troops in the eyes of the Alliance military, this decision successfully killed the possibility of a quick victory in the battle.
The reason is simple. The city of Lordaeron is the most magnificent city in human history.
At its peak, millions of people lived within the walls of Lordaeron.
If the Scourge of the Undead still has the obsession to kill the living, then Carlos will lead the Alliance army to fight a few fierce battles, and then lead the elite tough men into the city to eliminate the remaining undead, and the city of Lordaeron will be recovered.
However, according to the aerial reconnaissance intelligence summary, it is known that there are at least 400,000 undead natural disasters hidden in the city of Lordaeron, which can accommodate millions of humans.
Who in their right mind wants to engage in street fighting?
Are you normal?
I won't fight.
Carlos said I won’t fight either.
There is a ghoul hidden in every two houses, and every warehouse is likely to be equipped with plague bombs. The Dalaran sewers, once a symbol of civilization, are even more terrifying troop transport channels.
This city of Lordaeron is really unbeatable.
Okay, let's build a fortress.
Everyone knows that Carlos Barov is a master tactician, proficient in infantry tactics, cavalry tactics and three-dimensional mobile warfare.
However, what Carlos himself considers to be his true fame--the soil work work--has been blocked due to the constant headwind and pressure.
Repair the bunker, Carlos comes to repair the bunker again.
Alessandro Mograine is the old Silver Hand. The basic tactical idea of the Kingdom of Lordaeron's expedition to the Burning Plains is to advance steadily and add bait to set up an ambush. So he thought he knew a lot about building fortresses.
But Comrade Ashbringer doesn't understand that a fortress without magic and machinery has no soul.
In the hundreds of years since human beings had kingdoms, the style of fortresses has basically not changed, because there are limits to masonry structures. The type of fortresses and prototype fortresses with three floors above ground and one underground have been used in hundreds of wars. It proves what it means to have a classic that lasts forever.
Azeroth has never lacked scholars, and they have long understood how to play with load-bearing and torque.
So Mograine questioned Carlos' decision.
With the main force of the undead in Lordaeron still there and the situation outside the city not being stable, it was useless to waste manpower and material resources on building a fortress.
This is not because Mograine does not understand the four cultivation methods of the fortress, but because of the anti-involution nature of the feudal dynasty.
It’s really not embarrassing. The primitive people in primitive society and the slaves under slavery can roll up. What’s wrong with the nobles and feudal lords?
What happened? Of course I dragged the rolled one away and buried it.
After finally getting into a good pregnancy, why do you let the noble lords take the initiative to get involved?
We are all high-class people who are related to each other and take the initiative to improve production efficiency?
They all eat human blood, so say goodbye. Whoever causes trouble will be destroyed!
Isn’t it good to have eternal kingship? Roar! ! !
Even the magisters of Dalaran have formed a factional politics, and they still expect the humans of Lordaeron to carry out the industrial revolution. This is not a joke.
Therefore, Carlos did not try to prevent the undead natural disaster from happening, but did his best to make up for the overall losses of mankind.
Under the tremendous pressure to survive, it is possible for class fixed lines to be broken and for institutional innovation to be implemented.
If you don’t break it, you can’t establish it, that’s probably what it means.
However, the problem Carlos faces is that in Azeroth, where magic and supernatural power exist, the old aristocracy is not corrupt and degenerate. It needs to be broken, but it cannot be completely broken. He himself is the king of Alterac and will fight to the death. The proportion of noble lords who died for their country was much higher than that of common people.
Moreover, the difficulty of popularizing education has caused the simple sense of right and wrong of the vast majority of people at the bottom to often commit righteous and bad things under complicated public opinion.
Annoying.
Therefore, an army of 500,000 people really cannot be maintained.
Troops must be withdrawn.
When Carlos officially sent the documents that concluded the first phase of the campaign back to the rear, the entire continent of Lordaeron was as excited as if it had achieved a complete victory.
The property owners in the rear didn't care what happened to the city of Lordaeron. They only understood one thing. When humans got better, their lives could go on again.
Forty thousand cavalry passed through the barrier and rested for three days in Andorhal before heading towards the White Water River. The great Lightbringer was fighting a bloody battle!
However, when they arrived at Uther's position, they discovered that Uther didn't seem to be in a hurry to be rescued.
Even he himself was not on the front line of the battle against the undead in the mountains.
The Lordaeron-based cavalry troops were naturally dissatisfied with a brown-skinned orc serving as the commander-in-chief on the front line, but the large number of trolls and green-skinned orcs on the scene made them hide this dissatisfaction in their hearts.
After asking, I found out that Uther concealed the war situation in Stratholme in order not to affect Carlos' determination.
Tirion Fordring is an accomplice.
The siege of Uther had been resolved when the support from the orcs and trolls arrived. The reason why he stood there stubbornly was to keep this undead that was paying attention to changing the situation of the battle to the east of the White Water River.
However, compared with the "wisdom" of Lordaeron's undead commander, these undead "veterans" left behind by Arthas obviously have a more reliable commander.
These undead did not fight Uther's troops, and even the alliance's sergeants did not know when these undead divided their forces.
As a result, Dalong County was in crisis, and natural disasters of the undead surrounded Wei and rescued Zhao.
With most of the entire Stratholme region contaminated by the plague, Darrowshire became an enclave on the Alliance territory.
Uther originally did not want to rescue Darrow County, because he also encountered the supply difficulties that Carlos encountered in his hometown of the Kingdom of Lordaeron.
By blocking the undead at the mountain pass, at least they can still get water from the Baishui River and transfer food and military supplies from Anhador.
Going further east, the uninhabited and polluted land stretches for more than two hundred miles in a straight line, and it is not until Dalong County that there is room for rest.
You know, just because of the army's drinking water problem, the reputation of human mages in the water element camp is almost lost.
But Uther went anyway because he knew the situation of the Kingdom of Lordaeron and heard that there were still 200,000 acres of uncontaminated farmland in Daron County.
The cavalry were worried now. The order they received was to rescue Uther's troops. The command of the 40,000 cavalry was given to Uther after they were reunited.
Now Uther is not at the mountain pass at all, what can we do?
worry.
Along with the Cavalry Regiment's documents asking about changes in the action plan, also arrived at Carlos's desk asking about Alterac City's production adjustments, as well as a copy of the Enterprise's communications.
Kael'thas and Magni brought two pieces of good news and one piece of bad news.
The good news is that they battled wits and courage with Kel'Thuzad along the way, thwarted the Lich's machinations countless times, and connected with Turalyon. Turalyon listened to Carlos's advice and temporarily stayed in Stormwind City to deal with the follow-up matters of the expeditionary force. Danath Trollbane and Alleria Windrunner chose to return to Lordan with Kael'thas and the others. Lun's side.
As for the bad news, Magni claimed responsibility for the failure of the combat operation, and Naxxramas broke away from the mainland and disappeared into the sea.
