The New Order of Azeroth - v2 Chapter 514
The defense of the Scourge’s Gate is really beyond everyone’s imagination.
It is more than 50 meters high, and it happens to be built in the narrowest place between the two mountains, like a tiger, guarding the road tightly.
To the west of the checkpoint is the Icecrown Glacier, and to the east of the checkpoint is the Keel Wilderness. The Xiongguan Pass blocks the way, completely cutting off the offensive route of the coalition forces.
“Kill!”
“For the alliance!”
“For Khaz Modan!”
As the vanguard of the alliance, Muradin Bronzebeard led Khaz Modan’s soldiers towards the Scourge Gate.
But looking at the defense level of Scourge Gate, he was also dumbfounded.
He first ordered the mages of the dwarf kingdom to bombard the city wall with spells, but the Gate of Wrath was entirely made of steel, and contained a lot of Saronite and a small part of obsidian inside. The fireball didn’t even leave a scorched mark on it.
In the middle of the Scourge’s Gate, there is a gate that looks 20 meters high and 50 meters wide. This gate was smashed by a dwarf with a battering ram for a long time, and there was no movement at all. Bang.
Many dwarf soldiers died one after another, and there was a mountain of corpses at the city gate, but the thick giant gate remained motionless.
“Your Highness, you can’t attack so forcefully, the loss will be too great!” Old Fording rushed to persuade him.
Vanessa also saw the difficulties encountered by the dwarves in attacking the city, she nodded immediately, and the soldiers beside her quickly rang the giant gong to make them retreat.
“Give me some time, we dwarves can build a siege tower higher than that wall, and I will definitely be able to break through this breach.” Muradin Bronzebeard returned to the coalition headquarters and proposed a well-regulated suggestion.
Vanessa crossed her arms, her elbows on the table, thinking.
To cross the sea and launch the Northern Expedition with an all-powerful army, of course she prepared a trump card, but she didn’t want to reveal her trump card so early, at least she couldn’t just use it on the Gate of Scourge.
The dwarf’s method is to attack hard. This method is not very clever. She believes in the dwarf’s technology, let alone a 50-meter siege tower, no matter how tall they are, they can make it.
“Okay, I will ask the logistics side to provide you with materials, please start working as soon as possible.”
“Yes.”
Although she didn’t like the way of hard attack, she didn’t refuse the dwarf’s fighting enthusiasm.
“We will continue to attack tomorrow! I want to see how strong this Scourge Gate is.”
The next day, many cannons entered the firing position. Following the order of the gunner Willie, thousands of cannons opened fire at the same time, and shelled continuously for an hour. The ghouls on the ground still have limited damage to the city wall.
Another day later, Vanessa and the druids began to dig the ground. They planted plants in the ground, preparing to destroy the foundation under the city wall.
But the vitality of the plants is suppressed by the strong force of death, and the growth is extremely slow. According to the current speed, it is estimated that they may not grow out in ten years.
I tried airborne soldiers to conquer the level, but more than a dozen frost dragons have been wandering in the sky, and the densely packed gargoyles are also firmly controlling the airspace of the Scourge Gate, and the flying battleship and the void dragon can’t get through.
Vanessa’s mind was wide open, and she tried several methods in a row, but all ended in failure.
The undead have not been idle these three days. They either threw ghouls, or sent gargoyles to sneak attack, and sometimes they simply used the meat grinder to throw plague barrels at the coalition forces.
In the remote corners of the Dragonbone Wilderness, there are still many undead stationed in some places in Zul’Drak. The Lich King gathered these miscellaneous soldiers together. When the night is quiet and the soldiers of the coalition army are most tired, they will send these miscellaneous soldiers to attack the coalition army. camp.
Vanessa dispatched night elf sentry troops and blood elf far walkers to guard the perimeter, and would notify Old Fording and the Knights of the Silver Hand if they found any traces of the enemy.
A cavalry regiment composed of 2,000 paladins is enough to defeat an undead army of less than 10,000.
The benefits of forming a strong camp and fighting a dull battle are also reflected at this time. It can be said that the coalition forces are full of camps everywhere. As long as they don’t waver and rely on solid defense settings, a thousand-man army can hold ten thousand undead for a whole day. onslaught.
Based on the idea of seeing one, killing one, and burning one, the coalition forces established densely packed camps in the large area from Vordassil to Scourge’s Gate.
Huntresses, scouts, and Nether Dragon soldiers were in charge of scouting. Whenever they found traces of undead soldiers, they would notify the coalition forces, camp by camp, and rely on the location to consume the undead troops.
“We suspend our attack on Scourge’s Gate, right here, right under our feet! Build a battalion and let the Lich King attack!”
“What?” Muradin Bronzebeard and all the coalition kings and leaders who were fighting the main battle were dumbfounded. When you hit the door of the undead’s house, you suddenly said no to fight, and then built a lot of defensive facilities, waiting for the opponent to attack ?
“That’s right! I want to find the flaws of the undead. Only when they show their flaws can we hope to break through the Scourge Gate.”
“…We neither fight nor retreat, just stay here?” Muradin Bronzebeard looked at her in astonishment.
“Yes! We are stuck here, waiting for the Lich King to attack, don’t worry, I have prepared supplies for the coalition forces to consume for a year.”
All the kings and leaders of the coalition army were a little slanderous. They felt that Vanessa was timid. This kind of tactic of sitting in front of the enemy’s house was really unheard of.
“Obey, Your Highness.” Old Fording was the first to support, and the generals of Lordaeron also took orders. The dwarves and blood elves had to agree to this method. If you say stick to it, stick to it!
Arrow towers are built every 100 meters, UU Reading www. uukanshu.com Between the arrow towers, a ten-meter-high thick wall is built with bricks and stones. There are holes in the wall stacks, which can facilitate soldiers to attack. This kind of wall is not just one wall, but it is repaired regardless of the cost and man-hours. The big wall is surrounded by a small wall, and there are seven layers of repairs inside and out!
The coalition soldiers may not be able to farm the land after returning to China, but after building camps, they can basically master crafts such as masons and carpenters.
Vanessa even took the lead and led the crowd to build the wall.
She definitely didn’t know how to do this job in her previous life, but who is she now? The number one master builder in Azeroth, presided over and built three main cities, and gained the power of Khazgoros. Even the Titan father recognized her talent in architecture.
The undead army didn’t understand what Vanessa was doing at first. After waiting for two days, the Lich King observed for a while, and finally understood her intentions.
The Lich King almost didn’t think much about it. Anyway, he has a strong army, and he is not afraid of exhaustion at all. Killing some undead can also reduce his mental exhaustion. If you say war, then fight.
Immediately open the door of divine wrath, and send a large army to fight.
