Stormwind City didn't even plan to have an offensive and defensive battle with the Blackrock Orcs, they directly tilted half of the ammunition to the stone fort, and almost turned the entire fortress into flat ground.

Coupled with the indiscriminate bombardment of arcane magic, the original towering stone fort towers, city walls, and the fortresses that stood firm when the orcs invaded were almost all razed to the ground.

Even the high ground where the entire stone fortress was located, seemed to have been lowered by the fire and magic of Stormwind, and Bolvar didn't know if it was an illusion.

"Gnomeregan's new batch of artillery firepower is really fierce... If it hadn't been able to solve the problem of fast movement, it could even be taken to the plain to fight an encounter."

Marcus Jonathan, who was promoted to general because he had gained meritorious service in the war against the Burning Legion, looked at the stone fortress that had completely collapsed and felt a little bit sorrowful for a while.

"Although weapons are important, we still have to rely on the quality of the army itself. If these orcs had nowhere to escape, our progress would never have been so smooth." Bolvar corrected Marcus's opinion.

You know, for this ambush and siege, Stormwind City was deployed a long time in advance, and even the artillery was sent urgently from the subway between Ironforge and Stormwind City.

The power of this new weapon did not disappoint Bolvar, but it is not a panacea. Although the stone castle is easy to defend and difficult to attack, it has a very fatal flaw.

There are cliffs on both sides of the highland where the stone fortress is located. Under the rugged cliff is the Zhishui Lake. There are only two roads to enter the stone fortress.

The stone bridge on the back of the fortress was blown up by Stormwind troops long before the war started. The only way down the mountain was blocked by Stormwind troops. The Blackrock Orcs were forced to stay in the Stone Fortress. To bear the anger of Stormwind.

They had also organized manpower to break through the defense line of the alliance, but before they reached the guard tower on the mountainside, they were violently beaten by artillery and magic and blasted back into the stone fort.

As a result, Stormwind City did not spend much effort to eliminate the orcs stationed in the stone fort, greatly reducing the pressure on the homeland of Stormwind Kingdom.

Of course, the remnants of the orcs have not been cleaned up, because there are still some small groups of orcs who fled into the deep mountains of the Redridge Mountains before being surrounded by humans.

The terrain of the Redridge Mountains is complex, full of caves, canyons, and a large number of wolves and beasts. Although those orcs run away with great risks, it is better than waiting to die in a stone castle.

However, this also prevented the troops of Stormwind Kingdom from pursuing them. After hunting down some backward orcs as much as possible, the large troops of Stormwind City could only watch the orcs escape into the deep mountains of Redridge Mountain.

Maybe it took them a few weeks to get out of the mountains and return to the Burning Plains occupied by the Blackrock Orcs, but by then the situation had stabilized a long time ago, and they couldn't even communicate the news.

Bolvar naturally stopped paying attention to the escaped orcs. It took them more than half a day to completely flatten the fortress. The longer they delay, the greater the pressure and risk on Maxwell.

"Marcus, you take some people to clean up the remains of the stone fort, remember to send me all the black scum that hasn't died to hell."

Marcus saluted Boval solemnly, "As you wish, Grand Duke."

Bolvar himself took the rest of the army and hurried to the pass between Redridge Mountain and Burning Plain.

...

"Marshal, they haven't moved."

In the sentry, using binoculars to observe the soldiers at the frontline camp of the orcs, they reported, "They seem to have chosen to station."

"Don't take it lightly, Corporal Lal, the Blackrock Orcs are not stupid, it may just be their smokescreen."

Maxwell picked up another telescope and began to look at the orc troops in his field of vision, "Corporal, did you see it... it really is the black dragon, they are among the orcs."

"Yes, Marshal, and since this morning, the number of dragons in their camp has been increasing."

"It keeps increasing... This is not good news." Maxwell put down his binoculars and muttered to himself.

It seems that the Blackrock Orcs have realized what's wrong and are testing Maxwell. The additional Black Dragon soldiers are just to put pressure on him.

Reid is also in the front line position of the orcs, using the telescope snatched from the goblin to look at the guard post in Stormwind.

"Almost a whole day, they still have no choice to take the initiative to attack, huh, they are really a bunch of cowards." Reid snorted coldly. Although the defeat of the striker made his face a little embarrassing, the human tortoise can't shrink now. Explain that the other party has no head-on ideas with them.

"Have you contacted that guy Gaslzog?"

Reid asked his warlock advisor about the situation in the Stone Fortress.

The Warlock advisor shook his head, "Shadow Orb can't reach them either, and the communication between Stone Fort and us is blocked."

"Cunning Alliance Dog." Reid squinted his eyes. He had realized that this was Stormwind's strategy and blocked the communication between the Blackrock Orcs and the Stone Fortress. Neither party knew what was happening on the opposite side.

Now Stormwind City may be besieging the stone castle. It may be only a small team of them that blocked the Blackrock Orcs, because the wolf cavalry forwards were defeated too fast, and the opponent’s attacks came from all directions, and those who fled back The wolf cavalry did not know the specific number of opponents.

But there is another possibility that Stormwind City did not attack the stone fort, but just surrounded the stone fort. The troops led by Maxwell were their main force, hiding on both sides of the pass, preparing to ambush the Blackrock Orcs.

Reid naturally chose not to be this reckless man, because the Stone Fortress was actually not critical. Even if it was captured by the Alliance, it would only lose a negligible force and weaken the Alliance's vitality.

The guy Gaslzog may be just a martial artist, but it shouldn't be a problem for him to consume the power of the alliance with the solidity of the stone castle.

Reid himself was unwilling to use the elite troops Nefarian gave him to test the traps of Stormwind. Although staying still here might delay the fighter, it also avoided the Blackrock Orcs from having serious losses.

Moreover, Reid was not inactive. When he ordered the troops to stop, he immediately dispatched dragoons to fly over the Redridge Mountains to inspect the situation of the stone castle with the naked eye.

In the huge Redridge Mountains, the Dragoons only need to detour a little bit and spend a little more time to avoid all the eyes of Stormwind City and get reliable information.

Counting the time, it’s almost time for the Dragoons to come back...Look for a book www.xunshu8.com

"expensive--"

A loud dragon roar slid down from the air, and a colorful young dragon carrying a Blackrock Orc descended from the sky. Before the orc scout completely landed the young dragon, he hurriedly turned down the saddle.

"War Chief, the Alliance Dog has already knocked down the stone fort. I saw that their large forces are besieging the stone fort. There are very few troops to block the pass!"

Already beaten down?

Reid frowned. He didn't expect Stormwind City to move so fast. It took more than half a day to solve the Blackrock Orcs in the Stone Fort, but it is not important now. The Blackrock Orcs will immediately cross the Burning Plain and let Stormwind City. The troops have come back and forth!

"Blow the horn, beat the drums, and the whole army advances!"

The roar of the Great Chief Blackrock quickly spread to the entire army of Blackrock Orcs under the actions of the messengers at all levels. All the orc soldiers immediately took action, and the crowded army formation began to surge towards the direction of Redridge Mountain.

Perceiving the movement of the orcs, Corporal Lal quickly threw the telescope in his hand, ran down the guard tower at his fastest speed, and rushed into Maxwell's camp.

"Marshal, it's okay, the orcs are beginning to march! They move quickly, and it won't be long before they hit the pass of the Redridge Mountain!"

"They really have another channel of intelligence..." Maxwell's heart sank, but fortunately, he also anticipated this situation. Boval had already sent him a message. Stormwind's troops were on their way to let him It is bound to hold on for a while.

Whether you can hold the checkpoint that blocks the orcs' advancement is a very critical issue. As long as you can keep the orcs out of this checkpoint, the subsequent Stormwind Legion can quickly support in, and it will be easy to resist the attack of the orcs. A lot.

But if you lose this final level before the troops from Stormwind arrive...

Maxwell didn't dare to imagine such a situation-thinking that the main force of Stormwind City supporting the defenders was suddenly attacked by orcs and black dragons. In a hurry, I am afraid that a large number of soldiers will die in an instant.

"Give my order to hide the bombs we brought. Stop the Blackrock Orcs from attacking at all costs! For the alliance, for King Wrynn!"

"Yes, Marshal!"

With Maxwell's order, the special operations team in Stormwind responded quickly. They prepared all the defensive measures for the checkpoint in a very short time.

In the narrow gorge between the Burning Plain and the Redridge Mountains, hundreds of soldiers looked at the direction of the Burning Plain as if they were dead. They already knew what a cruel battlefield would be next.

But they have no room to retreat. Behind them are their comrades-in-arms, their relatives, and their homes!

Marshal Maxwell was standing in the forefront of the team wearing an epee and holding a big sword. He was ready to take the lead. Even if he died, he had to chop off a few more black stone heads with his sword.

He had already communicated the order in advance. If he died in battle, his adjutant would take over the command of the battlefield. If the adjutant died in battle, the lower-ranking officer would take over, and so on, until the last soldier of the special operations unit. Before the sacrifice, the battle will not stop.

In fact, everyone knows that in such a resolute defensive battle, the role of command has been reduced a lot, because their purpose is very unified, and there is only one-to defend the position, and before the main force arrives, it is not allowed to retreat half a step!

These hundreds of warriors are all elites selected from the various legions of Stormwind, and they have enough will and ability to face the next bloody challenge.

When the Blackrock Orc banner appeared in Maxwell’s vision, Maxwell took a deep breath, then raised his arms and shouted, “Brothers and sisters, fellow citizens of Stormwind, today, we will protect our beloved with the sword in our hand. Everything, for the alliance!"

"For the alliance!" Shanhu responded to the marshal's words like a tsunami, and the roar of sword and shield collisions echoed in the canyon.

The dull sound of the orc war wolf running has become louder and louder, and the savage and crazy standing roar has rushed into their ears, but everyone's eyes are very firm and unshakable.

The bloody battle is on the verge.

...

"Those filthy orcs finally got out of our castle!" Marshal Angeford shouted in the lower level of Blackstone Mountain, "and our arrogant'distant relatives', who are constantly challenging with self-righteous allies. Our bottom line, today, we are going to defend the glory of the Dark Iron Dwarf with blood, for Your Majesty Thaurissan! For the Balrog King!"

"For Your Majesty Thaurissan! For the Balrog King!"

The tide of dark iron dwarves gushed out of the gates of Darkforge City, and violently impacted the fortifications of the Blackrock Orcs from below the Blackrock Mountain. As most of their manpower was deployed to attack Stormwind City, the remaining Blackrock Orcs could only have difficulty To resist the attack of the Dark Iron dwarves.

The complex terrain in the Black Rock Mountain is destined to be only a small number of people capable of full combat power. Too many people will drag down the form of attack. The Black Iron dwarves who know their own city decisively divide their forces and suppress the Black Rock Orcs on the one hand to prevent They attacked the rear of the army.

On the other side, it turned into a torrent of steel, pushing open the closed gate of Heishi Mountain, preparing to launch an assault on the Alliance troops below the mountain.

But as soon as he opened the huge gate from Blackstone Mountain to the Scorching Gorge, the first Dark Iron Dwarf was sent to the Shadow Realm by an oncoming cannonball before he could clearly see the outside scene.

Maybe there, he can also shout for the glory of Thaurissan and the Balrog Lord.

After the Dark Iron dwarves walked out of the gate, they were washed into fools by the violent storm fire of the Alliance. After losing a large number of soldiers in vain, they could only retreat back to the Black Rock Mountain in grief.

"The artillery is ready to fire!"

The Alliance didn't mean to spare the shells at all. Anyway, behind Ironforge and Gnomeregan, plus the resources in the melting pot just occupied, there is no need to worry about ordnance reserves.

The new artillery quickly demonstrated its superiority in firepower and range, and besides the artillery unit, there are a bunch of engineers from Gnomeregan recording the parameters of the artillery. These are precious experimental data. It is also the direction of future artillery improvement.

"This group of idiots, really think we will fight them hand-to-hand?" Thoras looked at the striker of the Dark Iron Dwarf fleeing in contempt. The Dark Iron Dwarf also possesses advanced warfare technology, but now he stupidly moved from Black Rock Mountain Rush out?

I really thought that the alliance was just camping and did nothing else?Now there are no less than a hundred artillery pieces aimed at the gate of Heishi Mountain. If it is not for fear of crashing the mountain, the alliance's firepower can be further improved.

As for where the Alliance has so many artillery pieces-don't ask, it's the assembly line in Gnomeregan that is basically intact. Mass production of such weapons is completely pediatric.

In fact, the Dark Iron dwarves are also very wronged. They do have a series of war technologies such as artillery and war puppets. However, after being driven out of Hodmar City by the Black Rock Orcs, it is very difficult to transport these heavy weapons from the Darkforge City. It's troublesome, so it sent the pioneer troops to prepare to attack the alliance's formation, and then add heavy firepower.

As a result, it was just such a bit of radicalness that made them washed out by the Alliance’s artillery before they even got out of Black Rock Mountain. The loud roar and explosion made the heads of many black iron dwarves a little dizzy.
