Chapter 111 The tug of war
Due to technical reasons, the range of these mortars is much closer than that of the airborne crossbow. Although the sea surface of the mortars exploded was hazy, the crossbowmen did not need to aim at it at all. Because they broke through the fishman's front, the orcs' fast boats were relatively dense. They basically had no worries about the goal being lost.
Under the cover-type attacks of medium-range and long-range, the orcs' offensive suddenly fell. Although the orcs were not afraid of death, no matter their desperate charge, they could not break through the defense line of the dock area.
For the central and eastern defense zones, the orcs just use the orcs with the lowest status among the orcs to release water, with the purpose of restraining the other two defense zones.
The Orc Fleet sent out real orc elite warriors in the dock area, but these elite warriors not only did not get close to the attack of Jade Leader, but instead suppressed the orcs beyond the range because of the crossbow coverage. Even the lucky fast boat escaped the shooting of the crossbow and would be sniped by the mortar in shallow water.
"Who can tell me what this is?" Although Orgrim had been prepared for sacrifice, he couldn't help but be furious when he saw the orc warriors' sacrifices of such worthless sacrifices.
Orcs are never afraid of sacrifice. In their concept, even if they can't kill you, you will splash your blood. But under the cover of crossbows and mortars, the orcs can't even see a hair from the enemy. Even just now, they can still pull a fishman on the back, but now, they have only enough strength to use it.
When the other orc generals saw Orgrim furiously, they didn't dare to speak. They were all single lines, and they all liked to fight, kill, kill, and head-on. Taking ideas as staff was never his strength.
Gul'dan was silent for a while, holding the magic ball that emitted strong shadow element fluctuations and said, "Great Hammer of Destruction, do you want me to use the shadow ball?"
Orgrim took a deep breath, looked at the bloody storm in the distance and said, "It's not the time. I don't believe that their weapons have not been exhausted."
"The great Orgrim, the fleet where the Orcs are located has been transferred to attack the other two defense zones by you." Gul'dan reminded.
Orgrim turned his head like a beast and stared at Gul'dan's two green ghost fire eyes, and roared in a low voice: "Are you all covered in your heads? Transfer half of the hard work, and send an elite orc fleet over. It's time to put some pressure on the other two lines of defense."
The orcs' offensive changed quickly. Although the attack in the dock area was still fierce, it lost its momentum just now. However, the orcs in the other two areas were obviously fierce. As the orcs' offensive continued to approach the coast, the other two areas became obviously nervous.
The sun set an hour ago, and the moon slowly rose. The battle between the two sides has lasted for a full half day. The orcs have never really climbed the beach.
Brad ate some dry food on the commanding heights to solve his stomach problem, and never left the platform. The other senior executives returned to their respective positions, except Brad and Aurelia, the guards selected by Jasper for Brad were left.
"It's dark, the coastline is about to change hands." A trace of helplessness flashed in Brad's eyes. He didn't expect that the main force of the tribe would attack him, and he was indeed a little caught off guard. He didn't understand that with Orgrim's wisdom, he would endure a large amount of sacrifice to attack the Jade Corner. In order to win the reputation of the league, he seemed to have come.
Aurelia turned her head in surprise and asked, "Even if it's dark, it's not good for us, but with such a intensive attack, the orcs can't attack the Shanghai shore."
"Do you really think ammunition is infinite? After all, the Jade Corner is not well-off. Where can we get so much reserve in such a short time? Besides, the orcs have not really exerted their strength yet." Brad had nothing to hide from Aurelia. She was not Brad's human subordinates, so she didn't have to pretend to be confident.
Aurelia also understood that although the Jasper-led factory was constantly expanding, the time was still short and there was too much to produce. Through Brad's previous layout, she also understood that these reserves were not enough to deal with the main force of the orcs.
"What should we do if the coastline can't be kept?"
Brad stroked Xiaobai's cold scales and said slowly: "Drag."
"Drag? Are you going to fight the orcs for war of attrition?" Aurelia asked softly.
Brad nodded and said, "We can drag it up, but the tribe can't. Let's not talk about the problem of tribe supply difficulties. As long as we hold on for three or four days, the marshal's reinforcements will definitely come. According to the information sent by the marshal, the orcs on the middle line have been fighting with the marshal on the beach, so it should not be a problem to extract some of the troops."
Aurelia pondered for a while before saying, "With Orgrim's wisdom, he can definitely think of this. Then will the orcs attack crazy in the past few days?"
"I'm also worried about it. The main force of the tribe is much stronger than ours in terms of the number of troops and the quality of the army. This battle is not easy to fight. From the Air Force, our fighter jet group, the Red Dragon Army, the Wind Snake Army, and the Thunder Eagle Army are less than 30,000, and I guess the main force of the tribe is 70,000 or 80,000 or more, or even more than 100,000."
Brad looked at the flames generated by the explosion of the mortar shells in the distance, and continued, "There is also the other side's warlock army. God knows how many of them are. Our mages together are less than 6,000. The tribe uses all their strength to deal with our territory. Even if they join the alliance's army, the difference between the enemy and us is really huge. If Orgrim had not tried our trump card, he would have sent the air force to seize the landing site long ago."
Aurelia analyzed it carefully for a while and said, "Well, this comparison. We really can't defend the coast. In addition, the tribe has already understood our attack methods. If I do, I will attack the Shanghai shore tonight and gain a foothold."
Brad said slowly: "So, the mechanical forces must be withdrawn, and we really can't afford to lose. More importantly, the coastline cannot be lost at the hands of the Jasper Army. This will not only affect the morale of the soldiers, but also a blow to my prestige. I will never allow this situation."
Aurelia gave him a blank look and said, "This cannot be perfect."
Brad shook his fingers, his eyes flashed with an inexplicable light, and said, "Wrong, there is a legion that has been idle until now. Even if they let the coast fall, they will not damage morale or affect my prestige."
Before Aurelia asked, he turned to a Jade Guard and ordered: "Send the order, let Dassauhan mobilize the Adventurer Legion and the Mechanical Force to replace the defense, and order it to execute it immediately."
A jade guard immediately ran off the platform quickly.
Aurelia said with a worried look on her face: "How can the orc's Air Force and Warlock Legion deal with it? Do you want to use divine punishment?"
"The God's punishment can indeed be used. But once released, it takes a long time to accumulate before it can be released again. This is my ultimate method. I will not use it at will until the critical moment of life and death."
Aurelia's eyes lit up and she said, "Why don't you open a large portal and teleport the elite troops here."
Brad still shook his head and said, "The last time he supported the naval battle was the material that was jointly produced by several human countries. With the joint casting of Dalaran's senior mages, he teleported so many legions at the same time. This time, Lordaeron would definitely not agree with this suggestion. They wished I would hang here. If I don't add any harm, I would burn the incense, let alone support it. Quel'thalas is capable and doesn't care about this material, but the problem is, you know the guys in the Silver Moon Council better. Do you think they will send troops here?"
Aurelia was depressed. How could she not know the virtues of those guys? When she was a Ranger General and a member of the Silver Moon, she worked hard to get some army to support humanity, not to mention that she is not anything now.
Brad patted her hand and comforted her: "Don't worry, there will be a road before the car reaches the mountain. Moreover, I took a great subordinate a few days ago. He has invited reinforcements these days. Maybe she will bring me unexpected surprises."... (To be continued. Please search for Astronomy, the novel is better, updated and faster!)
