Azeroth Shadow of the Moon

Chapter 475 The Battle of Hillsbrad

Andrea had already guessed that Orgrim would not just sit and wait for death because of the lack of air force escort.

The Third Fleet sailed around the cape of Stranglethorn Vale to the east coast to prevent the orcs from going north from the east coast of the wetland, but Andrea didn't expect the Horde to move so quickly.

The port that the tribe handed over to the goblins to build ships is located at the end of a long beach on a peninsula on the east side of the wetland, and Orgrim named it Blackstone Harbor.

According to the timetable of the tribal march, it can be inferred that Orgrim should have made two-handed preparations before the collapse of the Sador Bridge, and at the same time built ports on the east and west banks of the wetland, but the focus is different.

When news of the collapse of the Thaddor Bridge broke, Orgrim quickly refocused its shipbuilding efforts, moving large numbers of goblins to the eastern shore of the wetlands that would later be known as the Twilight Highlands.

When the navy fleet of the night elves went northward and arrived at Blackstone Harbor, the ships built by the goblins had already carried the main force of the tribe to the village of Eviltooth on the east coast of the Hinterlands, and reached an alliance agreement with the local forest trolls.

If the Third Fleet hadn't arrived in time and sank the Horde's troop carrier on the spot, these ships might even carry the Horde's partial division and continue northward to East Weald.

Andrea vaguely remembered that there was a deep-water beach behind Tyr's Hand in East Weald that could be used as a good port. In history, it seemed that it was used by the Scarlet Crusade to build ships for the northern expedition to Northrend.

Even with the destruction of a large number of Horde ships, Orgrim's strategic goal has been half achieved.

He crossed the bridge of Sardor, which can be called a natural moat, bypassed the defense lines of Stromgarde and Thoradin's Wall, broke through the Hinterlands and attacked Hillsbrad Hills from the opposite direction.

Fortunately, the alliance army was stationed on the front line of Tarren Mill and Southsea Town at this time.

Although the city-state of Dunholde was caught off guard by Orgrim, the Griffin Knight sent by the Wildhammer dwarves finally rushed to Tarren Mill to deliver the news to the Alliance Grand Marshal Anduin Lothar.

The Horde who bypassed the defenses not only kept Stormgard's reinforcements on the other side of Thoradin's Wall, but also gained the fortified castle of Dunholde as a forward base.

Lothar was shocked and sent light cavalry scouts to confirm the accuracy of the news. After receiving a clear answer from the scouts, he immediately dispatched troops regardless of the supply route that had not been fully deployed.

The two sides now have separate lines of defense in the middle of Hillsbrad, and the Alliance and the Horde face each other across a stream.

Due to Terenas' repulsion, the night elves' army could not move freely in the alliance's core control area, and the third fleet that circled to the east of the mainland could only stop in the Hinterlands, and it would inevitably invade Los Angeles if it continued northward. Territorial waters of Dylan.

Lothar on the front line has already raised his vigilance against the overwhelming Horde army across the creek. No one in the alliance knows the fighting power of the orcs better than him.

However, the kings of the human countries sitting in the rear are more optimistic about the situation of the war. They believe that the alliance that has assembled most of the eight human nations will definitely be able to stop the tribe from continuing to advance.

Although Orgrim was very excited to reunite with the son of his best friend, he was a person with a clear distinction between public and private affairs, and he did not delay his business because of Goel.

Today's Goel is still very young, even according to the original tradition of the orcs, he can only carry out some enlightenment combat education.

It has to be said that Blackmore trained him very well in this regard. Years of gladiator training gave the still young Goyle a physique far superior to that of human children of the same age.

With the war imminent, Orgrim could not take Go'el with him.

When Goel was found, there was a human girl sent by Blackmoore to take care of him. After some questioning, Orgrim learned that her name was Taressa.

Before leaving for the battlefield, Orgrim consulted Go'el himself, and handed him over to Taresa to take care of him. At the same time, according to the information Durotan had provided, he sent people north to search for the Frostwolf clan in the mountains of Alterac. hermitage.

Orgrim is very clear about the status quo of the tribe today. This group of war-thirsty and violent beasts is not what the orcs were at the beginning. Goel contacting them too early will only develop wrong three views.

Anyway, today's Goel can't bear the heavy responsibility. Instead of being infected with the crazy factor among these red-eyed orcs, it's better to send him back to the group he should live in, and continue to be trained by the Frostwolf clan who follow the ancient tradition of orcs. he.

Before the start of the war, Gul'dan, who was repeatedly forced and urged by Orgrim, finally produced results under the threat of his life.

He gave up the evil energy and chose to summon the soul with the power of death, using the corpses of human soldiers to bring a brand new unit to the tribe-the death knight.

...

Soldiers of the Alliance and Horde armies on both sides of the creek held their weapons tightly. Compared with the silent state where the Alliance side ordered and prohibited, the Horde army would occasionally hear loud and bloodthirsty war cries.

"Clang!"

Lothar, who sits in the central command, pulled out the big royal sword on his waist and pointed forward, "Soldiers of the Alliance! Charge! Defeat these barbaric orcs and take back the land that should belong to us!"

"oh!!"

At the same time, Orgrim also boosted morale in an orc-specific way.

"lok'tar ogar! Power and glory!"

A large number of red-eyed and green-skinned orcs rushed out of the barracks shouting passionately, "Blood and thunder!"

The creek running through Hillsbrad could not hinder the contact between the two sides. The heavily armed human soldiers and the orc vanguards in simple metal armor finally collided together, and the stream water and blood splashed everywhere.

Although the time was short, Lothar conducted emergency training for the soldiers of the Alliance based on his own experience in fighting the orcs.

The human infantry on the front line adopted a cooperative combat method, forming a partial situation of fighting more and fighting less, and the orcs were outnumbered in the first confrontation.

When one of the human soldiers raised his solid shield to block the orc infantry's heavy battle axes, the comrades on both sides of him handed out their long swords tacitly, and one of them cut off the head of the orc who was unable to react in time.

"Um?"

Orgrim frowned slightly when he saw what happened to the vanguard.

He has seen this kind of tactics before, and it was used by troops under the command of a bald human general in the Stormwind Kingdom.

He didn't expect that in such a short period of time, the human coalition forces could initially master the tactics taught by the old general.

At the same time, amidst the sound of the horn, a cavalry unit armed to the teeth suddenly rushed out from the rear of the alliance.

"Holy Light bless us, for the alliance!"

Under the leadership of the first few generals, the cavalry unit gradually accelerated across the creek and broke into the flank of the tribal position.

Although the orcs who drank the blood of the devil had greatly improved their physical fitness, they were completely unable to defend their defenses under the attack of this group of heavily armored knights, and a huge gap was torn open in their flanks.

"Tsk!"

Orgrim missed the wolf cavalry of the Warsong clan very much at this time, but unfortunately the war wolves of the Warsong clan were eaten by themselves, and the entire Warsong clan also fell into a frenzy in Draenor because of the blood of the demon, unable to follow orders.

"Gul'dan! Put your toys on top, don't let these cavalry break up our formation!"

"As you wish, Warchief."

Gul'dan, who was hunched over, turned his head to look at the silent "human" knights behind him.

"Talongol."

"Hey~ Leave it to us."

A "human" knight showed a ferocious and stiff smile on his face, "Death knight, it's time for us to show our strength, attack!"
