So no matter what, the Zul'Aman trolls must do their best to capture the Farstrider camp, so as to avoid the worries of all the troops who go north to attack Silvermoon City in the future.
Without capturing the Farstrider camp, the Zul'Aman trolls would never dare to move eastward or northward, because that would put all their attacking legions in danger at all times.
But why didn't the orcs stop at the Farstrider's camp and help the Zul'Aman trolls capture the Farstrider's camp first? Why did they bypass the Farstrider camp and take the lead in marching eastward?
Aren't they afraid that the logistics route will be cut off? Are these orcs so confident that they can capture Silvermoon City with just their two orc cavalry legions?
This kind of behavior of the orcs was very unreasonable. Based on what Aurelia had learned about orcs after dealing with orcs for so long, Aurelia would definitely not think that orcs would be so arrogant, let alone think that orcs were so stupid.
On the contrary, Alleria thinks that the orcs may be a little arrogant, but they are definitely not stupid races, especially those senior commanders in the orc army. Alleria thinks that they are quite cunning and smart, And they learn very quickly during the war.
This group of senior orc commanders, after each battle, if the orcs suffered a loss in battle, they would always quickly come up with quite clever countermeasures.
For example, in the battle of Proudmoore, the orcs learned the lesson of the lack of long-range firepower in the first war between Rockdamer and the Alliance. The iron shield fortress phalanx most commonly used by legions.
The iron shield fortress phalanx was originally just a defensive formation of the artificial heavy infantry regiment, but these orcs were able to transform it into an offensive formation on the battlefield.
More importantly, this formation really restrained most of the alliance's long-range attack power. It also made the elf army, which is best at long-range attacks, almost helpless when facing them, and finally had to rely on favorable factors such as terrain to break them.
And this time, these orcs have obviously learned the lessons of the Proudmoore battlefield. Although they are two cavalry legions, they are no longer using their favorite and most commonly used puppy and elephant blitzkrieg assault tactics.
Instead, when encountering poisonous needle formations, mine formations, and iron arrowhead formations laid by elves, the orcs will summon demons with similar head shapes such as void walkers and hellfires, and then the beasts saw Drop some big trees, cut the big trees into several sections, form two or three meter long logs, and tie these logs with iron chains, let the voidwalker and hellfire pull these large log sections to open the way.
As a result, no matter what kind of poisonous needle formations, minefields, or iron arrowhead formations the high elves in front planted on the road, under these stone-like demons and the large logs they dragged, all of them would soon be wiped out. The ambush that blocked their advance was completely destroyed, and the orc troops quickly passed through the trap area along the passage opened by the demons.
And this is what Alleria sighed, the reason why the measures did not achieve the desired effect. It is precisely because the orcs are not stupid, on the contrary, they are quite smart, which is precisely the reason why Aurelia thinks the orcs' actions are weird and abnormal.
Because the orcs are so smart, it is absolutely impossible for them not to know how vulnerable their logistics routes are before the Farstrider camp is uprooted.
And they must also know that no matter how powerful the legion is, once their logistics route is cut off, it will have terrible consequences for that legion. However, since the orc commanders would know the consequences, why did they still do it? Why is it still so lonely?
Going deep into enemy territory with a lone army regardless of logistics is a very risky move at any time, and it is also forbidden by military strategists. Most of the army commanders who dare to play this way often end up in defeat. But now the orcs did this, which made people feel confused.
"Could it be..." Aurelia's heart jumped, and she had a bold guess in her mind.
The corners of Cirvanas' mouth curled up: "What did you think of? Sister!"
"Sylvanas, tell me! What do you know?" Alleria raised her head and asked.
"We might as well make a bold guess," Sylvanas smiled, and said, "The strategic goals of the Orcs and Zul'Aman's troll alliance are inconsistent, so..."
"Be more specific!" Alleria said with a frown.
"We all know the strategic goal of the Zul'Aman trolls, and that is to destroy the Kingdom of Quel'Thalas!" Sylvanas smiled and looked at Aurelia and said relaxedly: "The last thing is to destroy all our superiors. The elves drove out of Eversong Forest and fully occupied Silvermoon City."
Alleria nodded, she agreed with Cirvanas' point of view.
Cirvanas laughed again: "Then sister, think about it, what is the strategic goal of the orcs launching this surprise attack?
We might as well make a bold guess, UU Reading www. uukanshu.com As long as we can clarify the strategic goal of the orcs' attack, then we can easily understand such abnormal behavior of the orcs.
And as long as we can understand the abnormal behavior of the orc, then it is easy to infer the next move of the orc. "
Alleria frowned slightly as she listened to Cirvanas' speech, but she still had no intention of speaking.
Cirvanas glanced at Alleria and continued: "Let's first assume that the three most likely strategic targets of the two elite orc battle legions are in Quel'Thalas.
The first one, assuming that the goal of these two orc elite main battle legions is to completely defeat the Kingdom of Quel'Thalas, and finally help the Zul'Aman trolls to completely capture Silvermoon City, and finally join the Zul'Aman troll troops to go south and attack The rear of the Kingdom of Lordaeron forced the Alliance army to fight on two fronts.
Second, assuming that the strategic goal of these two elite orc battle armies is not to occupy the Kingdom of Quel'Thalas, but to raid the city of Stratholme behind the Kingdom of Lordaeron to support the frontal battlefield, so that the deadlocked frontal The battlefield situation has changed in their favor.
The third one is to pretend that these two elite orc battle armies are gone, and take the risk to quickly pass through Stratholme and Andorhal, the rear areas of the Kingdom of Lordaeron, which is currently empty of troops, and directly approach the area where there are not many guards. Under the city of Lordaeron, the royal city of Lordaeron, even captured it, causing all the alliance troops on the frontal battlefield to be in chaos, and coordinated the attack of the main force on the frontal battlefield, so as to fundamentally and completely defeat all the alliance troops.
