Chapter 515 sneak attack
The undead who first appeared on the battlefield were cannon fodder. They had no will of their own. They were controlled by the Lich King like walking dead. As the gate of heaven was opened, they rushed to the coalition camp like a tide.
Many of their clothes were the clothes of Lordaeron civilians, and the swords in their hands had long been extremely broken.
The power of death causes great damage to metals. If you come into contact with these negative energy for many years, even the best weapon will be corroded.
The Lich King had many blacksmiths in his hands, but relying solely on the land like Ice Crown Glacier, without trade and enough fuel, it was impossible to create weapons and equipment for 600,000 undead.
Steel has been melted a lot in recent years, but not many of them. High-quality weapons can only be armed with elite weapons, and it is good if the miscellaneous weapons can be used.
Perhaps it was to consume the supplies and morale of the coalition forces, or perhaps it was just to abandon these miscellaneous soldiers and use their mental power to control the elites. The Lich King's offensive was extremely strong, attacking like a tide. The coalition forces relied on complete defensive facilities and killed more than 10,000 undead soldiers in just two days.
"How many undead did you kill today?"
"Me? Five! One of them was wearing armor. I dodged at that time, and then kicked that guy down with just one kick, and then I rushed over and made a sword!"
The morale of the coalition soldiers was much higher. They whispered to each other, as if they felt that the Undead Legion was vulnerable and not as powerful as expected.
Faced with the optimism of the coalition kings and leaders, and even preparing to launch a full-scale attack and break through the barrier in one fell swoop, Vanessa immediately called for a clear stop.
The soldiers sent by the Undead Legion were really bad. She didn't believe that the soldiers under the Lich King were all of this kind of goods. It was actually not difficult to guess the other party's plan. There were only a few types of tired soldiers, arrogant soldiers, and attacking the east and west.
She believes that the probability of arrogance is the highest.
While everyone was clamoring to completely destroy the Ice Crown Glacier, she knew that she could not suppress the opposition in the coalition forces and had to laugh to the sky: "Hahahaha--"
Fully armed, Lilian, a maid in armor, immediately came to support her: "Why is the Regent laughing?"
Vanessa seemed to be smiling and her fingers were fainted: "I laugh at Lannaser. After all, Arthas doesn't understand military affairs. How dare you use such a shallow strategy to me?"
Her voice was very loud, and she immediately calmed down many generals in the coalition.
She was also secretly observing the reactions of the crowd. She knew that the method of building a tough village and fighting a stupid war was not in line with the tradition of Azeroth. The soldiers felt that it was very good and safe, but there were many oppositions at the general level. The current request for war was just a rebound when emotions gathered together before.
"The Lich King must have wanted to deliberately slack off us, and then use elite troops to attack! Pass my order and the entire army will guard the camp! Without my order, you must not attack at will!"
Then her left foot stepped on the ground even harder, and the flag outside the camp suddenly snapped and broke into two pieces out of thin air at one-third of the flagpole.
Vanessa looked panicked and checked the flagpole. She didn't dare to say anything. She had a little uncertainty in her tone: "This is an oracle. The undead army will definitely come to attack in the next two days. The whole army is ready!"
She is not a worm in the lich king's belly. It is unknown whether the other party will attack, but she can only fool her like this at this time.
Forcefully suppressed the coalition's attack calls, she went out of the camp to carefully observe the soldiers fighting in the Undead Legion. There were no death knights, no spider demons, no hatred, and no elite troops. They could not see the ragged ghouls in the water.
The power of the earth also told her that there were some sounds of horse hooves from the undead war horses in the Gate of Heaven, and the other party hid it and accumulated strength to attack. It seemed that the possibility of arrogance was very high.
There was also such a arrogant plan in Azeroth's history, but the focus of the records of historians from various countries was on the heroic charge of the king, and no one recorded what strategy the king used.
No one wrote military books, no military academies, whether it was civilians or royal families, everyone was a blank piece of paper, and there was no experience from previous generations to learn from. If you want to learn to marches and fight, you can only serve and learn in battle.
It was almost the same as Vanessa had expected. For the Lich King, this arrogant plan was developed by him with the help of Arthas' military qualities.
After sending it for three consecutive days, he felt that it was almost done. On the evening of the fourth day, the wind was howling, and the sky was like Lordaeron, with thick drizzle.
The thick iron gate of the Gate of Heavenly Condemnation opened again. This time, it was not the staggering soldiers, but the fully armed death knights.
When Sasarian and Kurdila rebelled, they took away some of the Death Knights, and now some of them are left, led by Alsace's former adjutant, Farrick.
The son of the farmer who was willing to continue to follow Arthas even after his death did not care about justice or evil. He only knew that he would be loyal to Arthas. No matter what enemy there was ahead, he would use his sword to fight a way for the monarch.
The wind and rain covered the neighing of the Death Army horses. He led a thousand powerful death knights to break out of the Gate of Heavenly Demons, and more than 30,000 elite soldiers were followed behind him.
There are spider demons, hatreds, tall Veku undead warriors, and the remaining soldiers are also wearing brand new armor and holding the latest swords. They are full of hatred for the living and shouting to launch an attack on the front battalion of the coalition forces.
During the previous three days of battle, the undead soldiers had filled all the traps in the direction of the front camp. For the Death Knight, this was a smooth road.
Their assault was extremely fast, and several patrol soldiers were killed without reacting.
The undead army selected the northeast corner of the camp to launch a raid.
"Let!" Farrick ordered.
The tall hatred wrapped the iron chain in his hand around the wall, and then pulled it backwards.
The undead warriors of the Vicu people also held thick stone pillars and slammed the wall.
The walls here are far less solid than the gate of the Heavenly Condemnation. They are just a stronger brick and stone structure. The undead have found a weaker point, so they will naturally be broken with one blow.
A large area of the wall soon collapsed, revealing a passage of more than 30 meters.
"For the Lich King, for..." Farrick rushed to the first place. He cheered for his monarch's wonderful ideas and was willing to perform this great task. But as soon as he rushed into the wall, he saw his war horse have a clear pause. The next second, he found that his position suddenly became shorter.
