Civilization of Azeroth: Start the Great Pyramid Chapter 57

Saw Turalyon in Lothar's tent.

This paladin is very young, he looks a few years younger than Li De. His physique is not as burly as he imagined, and his strength is overwhelming, but his medium stature makes him a little unremarkable.

But Turalyon's eyes can always leave a deep impression on people. His eyes are very sharp, and it can be clearly felt that the owner of the eyes has a firm will and extraordinary wisdom.

After Lothar's introduction, Li De took the initiative to shake hands with Turalyon.

Turalyon, on the other hand, was watching Li De curiously. The other party's experience was fantastic. How he managed to gain a firm foothold in another continent was still a mystery to Turalyon. If it wasn't for the pre-war meeting, he really wanted to have a private conversation with the other party.

The successive setbacks left Orgrim with less than 5,000 people left and retreated to the Blackrock Spire. Lothar gathered a total of 30,000 troops outside the Blackrock Tower.

The force was crushed, and the Alliance Army also had stable logistics. It can be shown that everyone can see that this is almost a sure-fire battle.

If there is any variable, it is the other forces hidden inside the Blackrock Spire.

Although he has an absolute advantage in military strength, Lothar has not attempted to attack the metal gate that entered the tower. There may be countless unknown dangers lurking in the tower, and entering rashly will pay a heavy price.

The most conservative strategy at present is to stay outside the tower and not fight. The orc army was trapped in the tower without food, as long as it continued to surround it, it would naturally perish in the tower.

Li De, who was sitting on the temporarily added last seat, heard this conservative strategy, and subconsciously "tsk". The sound he made was very small, but Turalyon, who was sitting next to Lothar, noticed it.

Turalyon noticed that Li De might not agree with this strategy, but he did not cross the crowd to ask Li De's plan, because Turalyon also did not agree with this conservative strategy, and he was about to speak.

"Marshal, I think we should take the initiative to attack. Orcs have many tricks, and creating terrifying death knights is a lesson from the past. If you let them stay in the tower, it is very likely that a new conspiracy will be brewed. I suggest attacking the tower."

Before Lothar could speak, Turalyon's suggestion was opposed by other generals.

The ones who opposed it the most were the generals from Nirnis and Stromgarde. Blackrock Spire was a mysterious place of death for all countries, and no country has been willing to meddle in this land since ancient times.

Entering the Blackrock Tower, in the eyes of these generals, it was a crazy act of courting death. They all complained in their hearts that Turalyon was young and vigorous, and becoming a paladin gave birth to a proud mentality.

"The Blackrock Tower is full of dangers. We have achieved a strategic advantage, and there is no need to take such a big risk."

The speaker was a general from Gilneas, but he always remembered the entrustment of his majesty: while fighting the orcs, don't forget to preserve the strength of Gilneas.

Although he is Lothar's adjutant, Turalyon is still inexperienced. The general opposite him is very old. He was a general almost when Turalyon was born, so he needs to maintain respect.

"You may have misunderstood what I meant, not entering rashly. I thought of sending an elite force to sneak into the Blackrock Tower to find out the situation inside the tower.

After we have a sufficient grasp of the situation in the tower, we will attack the tower. As for this task, I believe everyone in the Brotherhood of the Iron Horse should be able to do it. "

As soon as Turalyon finished speaking, several people stood up in the corner of the tent, and the warriors at the head banged loudly on their armor.

"The Brotherhood of the Iron Horse is obliged."

The Brotherhood of Iron Horses did not belong to the regular army. They were a spontaneous association and came under the command of Lothar voluntarily. There is a strong socialist ethos among the human race countries, and the Brotherhood of Iron Horses belongs to this category.

Their personnel composition is varied, including warriors, hunters, and thieves who are good at sneaking. All of them are stunts from the Kingdom of Stormwind. They have only one purpose, which is to restore the Kingdom of Stormwind under the leadership of Lothar.

Such an arrangement is relatively safe, even the general of Gilneas has nothing to say. However, Lothar still did not comment.

After hesitating for a long time, Li De finally decided to express his opinion. Sitting at the end of the table, he half got up and raised his hand.

"Oh, Li De, feel free to say anything if you have any ideas."

Lothar cast an encouraging look at Li De.

Most of the generals didn't know Li De, so they started whispering to each other, wondering what this unfamiliar officer was going to say.

"I agree with General Turalyon's point of view. The combat effectiveness of the orcs is obvious to all. Even if the troops are weaker than ours, they cannot give the initiative to them."

As soon as Li De said these words, all those generals were greatly disappointed. I thought he had some original opinion, but I didn't expect that he would only echo Turalyon's point of view. At the moment, many people pouted and shook their heads, seeming to be disdainful.

Only Turalyon was waiting for Li De's next sentence. He felt that Li De would not stand up to speak just to talk nonsense.

"But beyond that, I think I may have overlooked a point. I didn't consider whether the orcs would take the initiative to attack and try to break through?"

A general from Stromgarde completely disagreed with Li De's point of view.

"Hmph, with less than 5,000 troops, you still want to break through under our heavy siege? Orcs aren't crazy..."

Halfway through what he said, the general couldn't go on. It doesn't apply to others, but looking at the actions of the orcs again and again, it's really hard to say whether they are really crazy. The orcs can't use the common sense of the human race to speculate.

"On the way I led the team from Khaz Modan, I encountered the Blood Ring clan. Their chieftain dared to sacrifice his eyes and kill his father when he was young.

The orcs seem to have a strong tendency to self-destruct. If they break through the siege recklessly, or even simply have the idea of ​​perishing together... Our army's losses will certainly not be small.

Victory in this war is at hand, and at dawn, some losses are completely unnecessary. "

Li De's words are considered to be in the hearts of everyone. Since it is useless to be afraid of death on the battlefield, the soldiers who can reach this stage can be said to be not afraid of death, but everyone is afraid of death, which is unclear and meaningless.

"Then what do you mean?"

It was Turalyon who asked the question. His heart was open and he did not say that Li De deliberately suppressed him because he put forward different views.

"Our strength is more than six times that of the enemy. We should give full play to our strength and increase the width of the battlefield. If the orcs dare to break through, we can make arrangements in advance. Once the orcs take the initiative to attack, they will quickly complete the encirclement and completely annihilate the enemy! "

Although he lacks experience in commanding corps operations, if he only analyzes tactics on paper, Li De can still do a good job as a staff officer.

After some thought, a general from Lordaeron finally shook his head in denial.

"This is unrealistic, our encirclement is so big, how can we judge which direction the orcs will break through?

Whether or not the orcs will break through is still a matter of choice. Even if they do break through, if the orcs do not break through in the preset direction, everything that has been arranged in advance will be in vain. It is better to maintain the current deployment of troops. "

Unlike this general, Turalyon was lost in thought. He seemed to have grasped the crux of the problem, but he was still unable to find a solution. This feeling made Turalyon very anxious.

At this moment, Li De smiled and said a word, which made Turalyon suddenly enlightened.

"I mean, what if we could plan a breakout route for the orcs? For example, if there is a hole in the encirclement, will the orcs take the initiative to drill?"

"That's right! Lure the enemy deep! Let the orcs see the hope of breaking through. After they get in, the troops on both sides will quickly complete the encirclement!"

Among the original five paladins, Turalyon was the most flexible in thinking, and Lothar took a fancy to him and appointed him as his adjutant. At this moment, after Li De's reminder, Turalyon quickly understood.

In fact, the truth is very simple, the classic perimeter is three and one is missing, and then a pocket array is placed on the outside of the gap. Waiting for the enemy to get into the pocket is the beginning of destruction.

After that, there was no need for Li De to say more, Turalyon followed this line of thought and quickly came up with a strategy:

To create an illusion for the orcs in the tower, the alliance lost patience to manufacture siege equipment, and attacked from the front of the tower and under the tower. In the process of changing the strategy, due to improper command, there was a gap in the encirclement.

Turalyon had already thought about the direction of this gap, so he drove in the direction of the Red Ridge Mountains to the south. At that time, such an attractive "weakness" would not be believed that orcs would not drill.

As soon as this plan came out, all the generals were inspired. Many of them had rich experience, but they lacked imagination. Someone provided a direction, and they could also diversify their thinking and fill in the gaps.

After more than ten minutes of discussion, everyone came to a consensus: the most crucial part of this strategy is the "bottom of the bag" of the pocket array.

The bottom of the bag is meant to face the front of the orcs. If it is not tough enough, the orcs will really break through it. Even if the two sides are closed, it will not help.

As for the question of who should be the bottom of the bag, the generals began to hesitate again. No one felt that they were capable of such an important task.

After Turalyon looked around, he decided to bravely resist this mission.

"I'll make this pocket bottom."

However, Lothar, who had not spoken for a long time, finally spoke at this moment.

"No, since this strategy is yours, you should be in charge of the entire battle, and you are responsible for commanding the flanks on both sides.

I'll be the bottom of the pocket. I believe that Orgrim guy would also like to meet me on the battlefield. With my commander here, Orgrim would definitely kill me, so he wouldn't have time to think about attacking from other directions on the flank. "

No matter how different they are, in front of Lothar, who has absolute prestige, the generals will have nothing to say. Seeing that the commander-in-chief had to undertake the most dangerous task, many people felt guilty.

"Marshal, this is too dangerous, you can't..."

Turalyon wanted to dissuade him, but was stopped by Lothar.

He really had the intention to cultivate Turalyon. In Lothar's view, this young man's future achievements must be higher than himself. He has outstanding ability, the only thing that is inferior is his qualifications.

If Turalyon is in command and completes the final battle with the orcs, then Turalyon's prestige can reach an unprecedented height. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com

There is another reason, that the important task of the bottom of the bag is left to other people, and Lothar is still worried.

And at this moment, Li De spoke again.

"Marshal, although my strength is very weak, I am willing to follow you to guard the bottom of the bag!"

A sentence filled the room with shock, Li De's more than 200 people were insignificant in a battle of this level. A little carelessness is the complete annihilation of the army. This kind of behavior of actively requesting to participate in the bottom of the bag can be said to be difficult to understand.

"you…"

Lothar's expression was indescribably complicated, different from Turalyon. He could see that Li De had extremely lofty aspirations, and the future of this young man would not belong to the league.

According to Lothar's original intention, Li De could be in charge of a section of the flank. After all, to be honest, this strategy was completely formulated under the guidance of Li De. In such a position, Li De could definitely see the end of the war safely.

"Marshal, I have always been your soldier. I followed you to attack Karazhan, please let me fight with you to the end today. I only ask that this flag can appear on the battlefield, and Stormwind City will rise again!"

After all, Li De unfolded the lion flag he took out from his arms!

Looking at this lion flag, Rao Rosa couldn't help but moisten his eyes. The fall of Stormwind City was a humiliating past. Now united under the "Seven-Star DL Flag" of the Alliance of Lordaeron, how many soldiers of Stormwind Kingdom are secretly hurt?

"Okay! Just follow me to guard the bottom of the bag, and let the orcs know that the Kingdom of Stormwind is still here!"

Lothar agreed with a loud voice and completed the final decision. The alliance army also began to make arrangements.

At the same time, in Blackrock Spire, Orgrim was doing his final mobilization.
