My Frostmourne can't be so cute

The sound of "swish swish" was particularly noticeable on a lonely city.A thick rope was thrown from under the fortress to the top of the city, and was quickly straightened from the bottom, making simple iron or even wooden claw-shaped heads that hooked the walls of Dun Modd Fortress.

Although at this time, in order not to expose the situation of the city, no one would poke his head down and look at it; but all the human warriors knew that the orcs had already begun to climb towards the city.Danas recited three numbers silently in his heart, shook his head, and sighed-this group of orc pioneers is still too few, not enough, far from enough; compared with the intense anger of humans longing for revenge for their compatriots, Still too little.

As Danath's right hand suddenly lifted, and then slammed it down, Rix's slightly broken roar sounded from the top of the city: "Cut the rope!" The command was just reached, close to Danath. The soldiers, with their sharp one-handed sword blades, slashed fiercely at the ropes used by the orcs around them to climb the city wall. Some militiamen used too much force, resulting in the sword blades still being unable to go after cutting the ropes. Minus, slammed into the bluestone city wall fiercely, sparking a little spark in the dark dawn.

With the sound of heavy objects falling, screams sounded under the wall outside the fortress.Those soldiers far away from the center of the city had a slightly slower reaction; however, at every interval of the city wall, there would be a sentry responsible for passing orders.Therefore, the cries of "cut the rope" quickly came to mind on the city wall, and the thumping of heavy objects and the horrible howls of the orcs when they fell to death also came and went one after another.

Of course, not every orc fell under the city wall. Some quick-acting orcs climbed to the top of the city before the order to cut the rope was transmitted; but what awaited them was not the one that had been said to have fallen. A drunk dwarf in one place, but a heavily armed Stromgarde militia with anger in his eyes.

Chapter One Hundred and Seventy Five

Orcs are cruel. They will kill each other with their companions even on the battlefield. Orcs are strong, and one orc warrior can resist three or four well-trained human soldiers at the same time... These militias in Stromgarde, before They have never seen orcs, nor have they ever fought head-on with orcs. All their impressions of orcs are based on rumors and rumors.

Orcs can also bleed, and in the face of death, they are equally cowardly-this is the first impression of the militiamen of Stromgarde.Every orc who climbed to the top of the city was inserted into the body by four or five sharp one-handed swords at the same time at that moment; the pain caused these green-skinned monsters to cry miserably, and then they had not had time to activate before they were dying. Several well-trained Stromgarde militiamen joined forces and used their shields to knock down the city wall.

Soon, silence regained in the city.For those orcs who were knocked down from the city, they must have died too much; however, some of the orcs fell to the ground after the rope was chopped, so they were not killed.The miserable howls of these orcs sounded under the city wall from time to time, adding a bit of sadness to a lonely battlefield.

Of course, in such a race war, the two warring parties will not show any mercy to each other.Danath's order was quickly issued: "All archers stay on the wall, Rix, from now on, you will be the commander on the wall. If those orcs don't give up, they will definitely launch a large-scale attack. , Use your bows and arrows to greet these green-skinned boys!"

After Ricks accepted the order, Danas called a team of a thousand men and transferred these fighters down the city wall.When the entire team of Thousands lined up in front of the city gate, Danas also set out to walk down the city.Arthas rushed to reach Nas at this time, walked side by side with the prince marshal of Stromgarde under the city wall, and asked, "Prince Danas, although attacking from the city gate is the best strategy for the orcs. , But if we put down the iron gate of Dun Modr Fortress, those orcs can only climb the tall city head even if they don't give up the siege. Then, wouldn't they be able to carry out more effective defense?"

Arthas didn't understand. Since just now, the Danas prince has always used a head-to-head style of play against the orcs. It is obvious that there can be a simpler means of defending the city. Why didn't he use it?Arthas didn't think he could think of a problem. An experienced soldier like Prince Danas would not have thought, nor did he think that Prince Danas was a commander in command who did not care about his casualties.

Danas had already arrived at the gate of the city. He paused and said to Arthas: "Prince Arthas, do you know how many orcs have come to our world?" Arthas was taken aback and shook his head—— The upper level of the alliance has not yet figured out the specific figures of the orc invading army.

Danas nodded and said, "I don't know how many green-skinned monsters there are, but I know that their number must not be as many as our human soldiers, and they may not even be comparable to our Stormgard. The number of troops in a country. Therefore, it is worth paying for the life of one, two, or even three warriors in exchange for the death of an orc warrior."

As soon as Arthas heard this, his face suddenly turned down-it turned out that this Prince Danas really did not care about the lives of his subordinates.The little prince was about to refute Danas' opinion, but the bald uncle's next words caused him to fall into contemplation: "Prince Alsace, do you know how long the farm on the Arathi Highlands has not been cultivated by farmers?"

Alsace was silent-King Thoras of the Kingdom of Stromgarde conscripted most of the men he ruled into the army; the elderly, women, and children also gathered together to make bows and arrows. Armor.The desolation of farming is almost inevitable.

"However, Lordaeron will continue to provide supplies..." Alsace said half of his words and did not continue.Not to mention the always barren Arathi Highlands, and even the ever fertile Hillsbrad Hills, are affected by the war. This year's harvest is still unknown.

Danas knew what Alsace was thinking, and did not continue to entangle on this topic. Instead, he turned his gaze to the infantry soldiers who were waiting for them and said, "Prince Arthas, before the orcs invaded, the children of the farmer’s family came to you Age has come to help the family with work; children from aristocratic families, both male and female, will dress themselves up and go to various banquets and tea parties. Of course, I have reservations about such behavior. But now, I don’t know what’s going on in the Kingdom of Lordaeron, but in Stromgarde, whether it is a farmer’s son or a noble’s son, they have to receive military training and make bows, arrows and armor in their workshops. At that time, he will be sent to the army and begin military life."

Hearing what Danas said, Arthas nodded—in Lordaeron, although the situation was not as tense as the resistance of the whole people to the Kingdom of Stormgard, it had been in the palace of the always luxurious father for several months. There has never been a banquet.A wry smile appeared at the corner of Danas' mouth, and he continued: "How long will this war last? Maybe when the human race wins, I will no longer be there, Prince Arthas, you may not be there. Even hundreds of years later. , There is no way for us to expel these orcs from our homeland."

Arthas thought, what Danas said was right and wrong—it’s wrong, the war would actually end soon, and the orcs would be defeated and imprisoned by humans; on the right side, these orcs were still in Ai after all. Xerath stood firm. In the end, even more than ten years later, when Arthas committed suicide in Icecrown Citadel, humans failed to achieve their current goal-to expel these green-skinned monsters from Azeroth. .

Danas felt that time was almost up, and the boss of the opposite orc should have made a decision.He nodded to the confused Alsace and said: "Prince Arthas, whether you agree or not, I have only one idea, and that is to end this war as soon as possible. I don’t want hundreds of years to come. Years later, my descendants, the descendants of all of us, are still shrouded in the cloud of war. If death can end this war, I, and the lads under me, will never spare our lives; if we soldiers sacrifice, To be able to exchange for a future for those children where there is no need to fear the coming of war, even if only one minute in the morning..."

Without finishing his words, Danas patted Alsace on the shoulder, turned and walked towards the gate alley.The infantry phalanx that had been lined up made a passage for his marshal enough to accommodate his burly body.Danas slapped the shoulders of the soldiers with determination and excitement around him, while squeezing to the front line of the phalanx.

Chapter 176: Unreasonable Grom

The infantry phalanx gradually closed behind Danas, and Arthas could only see the bald head of the prince marshal of Stromgarde that was higher than the other people's heads because of his size, and the deep and powerful voice: " Open the city gate, the soldiers of Stromgarde Castle, today, are here to fight to the death with the green-skinned boys! Boys, even if we all die here, behind us, there are 100,000 Stromgarde militiamen ready to go; our bones, Will become the stepping stone to the final victory of mankind, and your name will be inscribed on the hero monument of Stromgarde! Pull your sword, lads! Here today, we are fighting for King Thoras and behind Fight for their homeland, fight for all mankind!"

Alsace thought that Danas would be an orthodox military officer who was not good at words, but he did not expect that his pre-war mobilization would be more exciting than those politicians' agitation.Danas turned around, looked at the slowly opening city gate, drew out the two-handed long sword from his waist, and tightly grasped the hilt of the silk-entangled sword. The tip of the sword pointed to the outside of the city gate. In the dark distance dispersed by the rising sun, he roared: "For the glory of Stormgard! For the glory of Trollbane!"

Danas was full of breath and with a fierce shout, like a heavy hammer, shattering the cold darkness that originally shrouded the wet ground.A round of red sun finally broke through the obstruction of the horizon, spreading the warm sunshine to every corner of Dun Modr fortress, and the same hoarse call should be made: "For the glory of Stromgard! For the sake of trust." The glory of Albein!"

Outside of Dun Modr Fortress, Grom Hellscream squinted his eyes, looking at the slowly opened city gate in the distance, and the shouts that could make the evil blood boil in his body even though he didn't understand it. As a soldier, he knew this was the enemy's pre-war mobilization.

Grom felt a strong desire to fight and roar in his body, and he even heard the whisper of "blood roar" on his shoulders.At this moment, the quarrel coming from behind caused Grom to frown tightly-is this group of trash also worthy of being called orcs?

Behind Grom were two teams of fully armed orc warriors.In addition to the difference in queues, there are other obvious differences between the two teams of orc warriors-the large group of orcs standing behind Grom are warriors from the Warsong clan.Like their chiefs, these orcs appeared to be extraordinarily calm, and did not make a fuss about the plan to quickly capture Dun Modr’s fortress, or stood quietly, waiting for the chief’s command to start fighting; or quietly wiped and polished themselves. Weapons and armor.

And the other group of orcs, who had a slightly smaller number, seemed more anxious.Zuherd, Reid and Maim are arguing not far from Grom.Reid said loudly: "This is Orgrim's trick, he must have known the situation here, so he sent us here to die!"

Maim agreed: "Yes, Reid is right! I will go to Grom to make it clear that he is going to attack such a fortress.

Then let the Warsong clan attack on its own. My clan members will not be killed in vain."After speaking, Maim walked towards Grom angrily, Red was stunned and followed behind his brother.

Zuherd hurriedly stopped, but he couldn't make it in time. Maim had already come to Grom and said loudly: "Grom, the situation is different from what we said in advance. We will not participate in the attack on Dun Modd. The fortress is over, you and your Warsong clan go by yourself!"

Maim is a newborn calf and is not afraid of tigers. He does not know Grom's power like Zuherd.Zuherd caught up from behind, and Maim had already said this.Zuherd couldn't help groaning in his heart-Maimu, you idiot, you just need to be stupid in your own home, why bother to provoke Grom?

Grom turned his head, with a smirk at the corner of his mouth, and asked, "Is this what you meant, or the three of you?" It was Maime who asked, but Grom's gaze turned towards Zu Hurd.Mehm just wanted to say something, but Zuhdra was taken in.The chief of the Longhou clan blocked the mouth of this foolish younger generation, and said to Grom: "Mim is still young, not sensible, nonsense."

Grom nodded and continued: "The three of you will now take your men to attack the fortress. Although Blackham is weak, he is at least a little bit courageous; how come his son is so useless? The opposite is just a group of humans. , Just scared you like this? If you are so unworthy next time, you embarrass the orcs and are known to me, I will send you to see your dead dad!"

Maim and Reid were irritated by Grom's words. They just wanted to make some action, only to find that the evil red light flashing in the eyes of this tall compatriot became even more strange.As Grom held the huge battle axe on his shoulders in his hands, a strong bloody aura filled the Warsong clan chief.

Maim's pupils shrank, and the words that were stuck in his mouth were swallowed abruptly by him.Reid also made actions similar to those of his younger brother. Although these two orcs were a bit wasteful, they were still orcs. They had instincts similar to those of the beasts. From the Grom in front of them, or the huge On his axe, they felt the threat of death.

Grom gently weighed "Gorehowl", slanted his eyes and looked at the three trash congeners in front of them that are incomparable to humans, and said in a bad tone: "If you waste your time anymore, I don't mind killing you first. With your men, and then take the warriors of our Warsong clan to take down the fortress. To be honest, I think those humans are much stronger than you, at least they still have the courage to fight."

Faced with Grom's cynicism, Zuherd was unable to mind.He had already understood one point deeply, that is, unless all his men died in battle, or even died in front of the fortress that claimed to never fall, Grom and the warriors of the Warsong clan could continue to fight.

But is there any way?Zuherd would rather face a thousand human warriors alone, rather than be an enemy of Grom.With a sigh, Zuherd was no longer able to take care of Reid and Mehm. He walked towards the front of his clan a little depressed, waved his hand, and issued an offensive command.

Reid and Maimu didn't dare to talk any more nonsense, they also summoned their limited subordinates to attack the open city gate.The fighters of the Dragonmaw Clan and the Blackfang Clan were scattered a bit, but the speed of the charge was not slow. Soon, the forward ran out of the woods and rushed towards the fortress of Dun Modr.

Chapter 177 Longbowman three consecutive shots

Now that Danas decided to open the city to meet the enemy and meet the orcs in hand, the city has become a relatively safe place.After Mograine made such a judgment, he persuaded Arthas to return to the city.Arthas also wanted to see what the orcs were doing, so he came to the city.

On the city wall, Ricks was standing behind a wall stack, looking through the gap in the wall stack.When Arthas came up, the adjutant of the Stromgarde Militia Corps was retracting his head from the wall.Without paying attention to Alsace and his party standing in the corner, Risk quickly issued an order for the archers to gather in the middle of the city wall above the city gate.

The walls of Dun Modd Fortress were semi-circular arcs, covering the entire end of the Sador Bridge, but no matter how wide the city gate was, there was only one place.The reason why Danas wanted to open the city to meet the enemy was to gather the orcs in one place.After all, with a wide-open city gate, orcs who are not good at using siege equipment will definitely adopt a simpler and more convenient method of attacking the city gate.

Fighting with the orcs at the gate of the city may seem to cause greater casualties, but in fact, it is more beneficial to humans.If you spread your forces on the city and lower the steel gates, you really only need to cut the ropes thrown up. These orcs will not be able to climb the city easily, and these savage and clumsy monsters may soon give up. This surprise attack on Dun Modr Fort.

But according to the plan of the alliance high-level, the human alliance will soon launch a general attack on the orcs.In this case, if you can use Dun Modr Fortress as a decoy before the general offensive, and attract the orc army to fight a war of attrition with the humans here, you can effectively reduce the human allied forces in the general offensive. The difficulty of field battles.

When the orcs failed to attack Dun Modr fortress for the first time, they continued to frustrate under the city of Ironforge, which made them change their combat plan and try to abandon the construction of humans and dwarves.After that, the armies of humans and dwarves did not find any good opportunities to kill the orcs; once they stepped out of the fortress, the dwarves were tough against these strong invaders outside the fortress. Hurt, and humans are slightly weaker.

As a member of the high-level alliance military, Danas knew that the next general offensive was not an easy job, so he did not hesitate to take advantage of the opportunity of this defense battle at Dun Mod fortress to be effective. The ground consumes a portion of the orc’s forces.After all, the tug of war here is what mankind wants to see.Behind the Sador Bridge, in the Stromgarde Kingdom/Military Barracks, there are already countless soldiers waiting to fill in this fortress that may become a meat grinder.

"Pull~bow~" Ricks looked nervously outside the city wall, and at the same time gave the bowman the command to open the bow.Thousands of longbowmen moved neatly and uniformly, drew their bows and arrows together, with their arrows facing the sky at an angle of forty-five degrees.A faint bead of sweat dripped from Lisk's head, and he slowly counted the steps of the orcs under the wall that were rushing towards the fortress.

"Three bursts of preparation~~" Risk extended his tone.At this time, we can see whether an archer is well-trained. If a farmer picks up a bow and arrow, although it may kill people, it is absolutely impossible to see the enemy but the atmosphere is very tense. You can also execute orders wholeheartedly, instead of letting the bowstring get out of your hand.

Risk raised his right hand high, and suddenly waved in the air: "Let it go!" With this order, more than a thousand archers lined up in four rows on the vast city, shot out their own early. The bow and arrow that have been on the string for a long time, and quickly use the right hand to draw out two arrows from the quiver. The longbow held by the left hand is still in its original position, and the arrow is fastened and the string is used almost the same Posture, he shot his second and third arrows.

Longbow fires three times in a row. This is the long-range attack method that the defending army often uses when facing the enemy's assault front.By observing the pace of the enemy, experienced officers can instantly determine the timing of the archer's arrow, so that the arrow that is thrown high in the air and then falls fiercely can be used at the moment the enemy steps into the incident. Poured over the enemy's head.

Three rounds, because the enemy's army should have deviated from its previous position for a certain distance, and needs to be repositioned.It can be said that this kind of tactics requires only that the archers have strong psychological qualities and can execute orders well. All the important tasks of aiming, judging and grasping the timing of arrows are concentrated in Ricks alone. On his body, it is no wonder that he will sweat profusely from nervousness.

Three waves of arrows with a time interval of no more than two seconds drew a perfect parabola in the air, and then fell on the head of the orc who had just stepped into the incident, clanging like raindrops.The orc's iron-making technology is not outstanding. The human armor seized from the armory in Stormwind is difficult to fit on the orc warrior due to the model.

However, the orcs have other ways to strengthen their defenses-since the iron is not good, it is better to increase the thickness.The shoulder armor and breastplate of the orcs are twice as thick as the standard plate armor of the human army.Of course, this also brings other problems, that is, it is inconvenient for orcs to wear helmets.

This not-so-good habit caused the orcs of the Dragon Roar and Blackfang clan to suffer enough.The arrows that hit their shoulders basically bounced to the ground, but some of the arrows also penetrated deeply into their inner skulls from the heads of these orcs.

Especially those orcs who looked up because of curiosity, sharp arrows shot in from their eyes and pierced through the soft back of their heads. These huge green-skin monsters could not even make a muffled sound, they were soft. Falling to the ground, the companion who followed up stepped on the soft soil of the wetland.

Ricks stood on the wall, watching the orc pioneers who had experienced the rain of arrows, brandishing those simple but heavy weapons, and yelling and charging towards the city gate."Free shooting!" Ricks gave an order to the archers on the city wall. More than a thousand archers quickly dispersed, a few people in groups, occupying the gaps in the wall, and pointing to the orcs under the city. Sniper.
