Civilization of Azeroth: Start the Great Pyramid
Chapter 263: okaz i.
Li De and Dai Lin plan to pursue the victory and expand the victory to win the Ratchet City in one fell swoop.
The wild boars still lack advanced tactical thinking. They did not win Ratchet City in the first few days, and the difficulty will become more and more difficult in the future. Instead, the morale of the goblins who successfully defended the city will become higher and higher.
Now that Gazlowe has successfully returned to Ratchet, Li De no longer expects the Boar to take it there.
The battle plan formulated by Li De and Daelin is: the first division will attack from the ground, compress the living space of Ratchet City, and force Gazlowe to escape from the only sea route left.
This is the most classic tactic of "encircling three and missing one". As long as Gazlowe dares to escape from the sea, he will surely encounter the attack of the Kul Tiras fleet.
The combat effectiveness of the first division is no better than that of the wild boars. They not only have higher quality soldiers, but also the weapons they are equipped with are worlds apart from those of the wild boars, making Ratchet City's last bit of resistance like a candle in the wind.
At this time, the Ratchet City can no longer be seen as a port city where the trade of raw materials is extremely prosperous. The spiked fences, barbed wire and trenches can be seen everywhere in the urban area. A black hole shooting hole.
The most striking thing is that at the end of the widest street in the center of Ratchet City, there are four or five huge harvesting robots.
Such a city defense makes Ratchet City seem impregnable, and it is precisely with these that the goblins repel the attacks of the wild boars again and again.
But at this moment, in the headquarters near the port, Gazlowe was clear in his heart that Ratchet City was destined to be unstoppable. To be able to persist until now, in addition to his absolute control over the following, there is also the fact that the goblin cannot bear to surrender to the boar.
But things are different now. The Huanhai Protector's army is stronger, and at the same time, the Vast Sea Protector is also regarded by some goblins as a half-goblin regime, and surrendering to them is completely within the acceptance range of the goblins.
Gazlowe planned to abandon Ratchet and evacuate from the sea, and in the process of preparing the plan, Gazlowe looked at Ratchet with an extremely complicated expression. This is a masterpiece that he personally supervised and built, but today he will completely abandon this masterpiece.
Gazlowe did far more decisively than Li De and the others imagined. When he evacuated, he took away all the gold, weapons and a batch of important construction machinery in Ratchet City.
Carrying these heavy things must be inconvenient. In the process of loading these things into the ship, in order to hinder the advance of the first division, Gazlowe personally ignited the explosives buried two whole blocks below!
That's why Gazlowe was so reluctant before, because he was going to destroy Ratchet! A series of explosions in two blocks caused a fire that spread throughout Ratchet!
The footsteps of the 1st Division were delayed, and Gazlowe managed to drive south along the coast with a fleet of ten large transport ships? !
Before Gazlowe burns Ratchet, as long as Kul Tiras's fleet can successfully block Gazlowe's fleet, then this battle will be a great victory for Li De and Daelin.
However, both of them misjudged Gazlowe's voyage route!
The journey from Ratchet to Kezan was due east, and Daelin ordered his fleet to kill Gazlowe on that route.
But how could they have thought that Gazlowe had no intention of fleeing to Kezan, but went south along the coastline! To the south of Ratchet City is the Hope Port of the Protector of the Vast Sea. Gazlowe's escape route is completely an abnormal behavior of voluntarily sending his own death.
Of course, Gazlowe wasn't about to commit suicide with ten bloated transports on Port Hope. His real destination was a large island in the Dustwallow Marsh.
With the existence of the Kul Tiras navy, Gazlowe knew that he could not escape back to Kezan alive anyway. Find a suitable base.
Until now, Gazlowe still thinks about the problem from the perspective of "how to win the war". If Kozan loses the strategic fulcrum in Kalimdor, then there is no possibility of winning this war.
For the new stronghold, Gazlowe had a very suitable choice in his heart. When he was looking at the sea chart, he was very fond of that island.
Unfortunately, the island that Gazlowe liked most was no longer a Borderlands, and it had its own name: Theramore.
It can only be said that time is also fate. Since the conflict between Hanhai Duhu and the Rusty Water chaebol in the yarn business, the business relationship between Ratchet City and Hanhai Duhu has almost been cut off.
And Gazlowe is an excellent commander tactically, but not a strategist after all, how could he foresee a full-scale war between the Kozan goblins and the Alliance?
This caused Gazlowe to have only a vague impression of Theramore, and was completely unaware that he needed to update the information.
When he saw the buildings and flags on Theramore Island that were beginning to take shape, Gazlowe was in a bad mood. How could he have imagined that he would plunge into the arms of the Alliance.
However, this wave belonged to the fear of fighting wolves, and Gazlowe's fleet also frightened the defenders of Theramore.
Until now, Theramore has not really been put into use, and there is no main fleet here!
Fortunately, there were no warships in Gazlowe's fleet either. He never thought about engaging in naval battles with the enemy at all. Everything on the ten transport ships was for the purpose of landing and building new strongholds.
It's not that Gazlowe didn't think about forcibly landing on the island, but Theramore was still equipped with enough shore artillery, which caused a huge deterrent to Gazlowe.
And for Gazlowe, what was even worse was that Kul Tiras didn't block Gazlowe at sea, so he threw out all the air power to search for Gazlowe's presence.
It didn't take too long to discover that Gazlowe was near Theramore! When Buck used his scales to get in touch with Li De and Dai Lin, the news scared both Li De and Dai Lin into a cold sweat.
The appearance of the dragon made Gazlowe clear that the Kul Tiras fleet would eventually arrive. Gazlowe, who thought he had stepped into a desperate situation, gave up Theramore completely without thinking, and headed east. escaped from the sea.
The red dragon Bakromwarz was always hanging behind the fleet, and Gazlowe felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar. He counted himself down as if he had resigned himself, planning when he would encounter the Kul Tiras fleet.
"Boss! There is an island ahead!"
At this moment, a cry from his subordinate awakened Gazlowe. He grabbed the telescope and then exclaimed in surprise.
"Why is there an island here?!"
Estimated from the field of view of the telescope, the island is almost as big as Theramore! Such a large island is not far from the coastline, why has no one discovered it before? !
Gazlowe has mixed feelings in his heart, this is simply a paradise island that saved his life!
However, after getting close to the island, Gazlowe and the others discovered that this "paradise" was not so friendly. In the waters near the island, a group of ferocious brown hydras roamed!
The names of these guys are "Stashaz", and just by looking at them, it's easy to guess that they are related to Gazrellah. They, like the purple cave hydras on the cliff heights, are in Gazrela's blood.
It's just that compared to the cave hydras, these hordes of Stashaz hydras lack a lot in intelligence, and their strength is almost reduced to the level of ordinary beasts.
But even so, these hydras frightened Gazlowe and the others, and they have been dominating the barren land for several years. What kind of beasts have they not seen?
What chocobos, prairie lions, saber-toothed leopards... no matter how ferocious beasts are, they can't stop a shot filled with gunpowder, but with the many monsters in front of them, a shot can't penetrate its scales!
Gazlowe can't control so much, let alone a hydra, even if a Titan emerges from the sea, don't try to stop him from going to the island!
"boom!!"
Directly moving the cannon, the body of the hydra was smashed with one cannon, Gazlowe then ordered to land on the island with a satisfied smile!
Ratchet City goblins want to land on the island, but they can make Buck, who is watching in the sky, in a hurry, which means that the target is likely to get out of control. In desperation, Buck decides to lower the height to stop them.
However, the Azerite weapons in the hands of these goblins caused Buck to suffer a lot, and he could only rise to a safe height with some embarrassment.
"Quick, quick! Be quick! The dragon greets its companions very quickly! We must build the dugout before more dragons arrive!"
Gazlowe was holding two cigars in his mouth at the same time. The strong nicotine made him extremely excited. With the help of the power of the manipulator, he personally removed a drilling rig from the boat and started it.
The huge drill bit roared and burrowed into the ground with black smoke. With several large drilling rigs working at the same time, together with other tools, an air-raid shelter was actually dug in just over an hour!
All engineers carry engineering backpacks with many manipulators extending from them, and one person does several jobs at the same time.
"No matter what the **** is this island, with more than 1,000 of my best talents, I can definitely build this place into a new fortress! As long as we can hold on to Kezan's supplies, we can keep going here forever. !"
Gazlowe screwed the anti-aircraft gun with a large wrench, thinking hard.
…
On Kul Tiras' flagship, the Admiral and Han Hai were silent, and they would never have imagined that things would develop in such a direction.
Just in the sea not far northeast of Theramore, how could there be an island? !
This can only be said to be a work error during the exploration process, because such an island that suddenly broke into the battlefield completely revitalized Gazlowe, who was already dead.
"The technology of the goblins is still advanced. In such a short time, they have built the air defense camp. It seems that they are going to make this place a fortress and resist us to the end?!"
Looking at the photos brought back by the high-altitude scout, Dai Lin couldn't help but say with emotion.
But it was just a compliment, and Daelin began to feel worried. All the information in the photo conveyed that Gazlowe was going to fight stubbornly.
In the end, the island that caused the Alliance a lot of trouble was given the code name: Okaz Island, which means military fortress in the Old Dwarven language.
Li De is very depressed now. Although the first division won Ratchet City, it won a smashed city.
And at that time, in order to save many abandoned goblins, the first division had to give up chasing the enemy and spend a lot of effort to organize soldiers to put out the fire.
In short, in this battle, both sides were very aggrieved, Gazlowe was the very small loser, and Li De won very unhappily.
And just a day after the battle, Kezan couldn't bear the loss of Ratchet, and sent their fleet and Kul Tiras to fight.
The final result is obvious, Kezan's fleet lost can be said to be very thorough.
The last time the siege of the Protector of the Great Sea failed, it could still be attributed to the enemies that the trade kings went their separate ways, leading to the failure of their command.
But this time was different. The trade kings learned a lesson, realized the importance of cooperation and division of labor, and simply put all the fleet under the command of Grezlik.
In this way, Vice Admiral Grezlik officially challenged Admiral Daelin.
In that battle, Daelin let both Kezan and Hanhai Protector know what constitutes the strongest navy.
Needless to say, Daelin's commander, Kul Tiras' naval personnel are much higher than other countries.
In the face of the absolute strength gap, everything is in vain. In the end, Grezlik failed to establish contact with Okaz Island. After losing one-third of the fleet, he fled back to Kezan in a hurry and put on a defensive state again.
It all seemed normal, a victory for Daelin. UU reading www.uukanshu.com
But if you think about it carefully, you can find many problems in this naval battle. One of the simplest of them all: Why does the Kezan fleet feel like it's being deliberately killed?
However, these problems are not something that can be figured out in a short period of time. On the contrary, there is also a problem on the side of the alliance.
Kalimdor's western theater has been victorious in succession (occupying Ratchet and destroying the Kezan fleet), so now there are two options for the Alliance:
It is to continue to weaken the goblins layer by layer, such as first attacking the Booty Bay in the Kingdom of the mainland, forcing the goblins to propose and sign a treaty of indemnity;
Or directly attack the island of Kezan, completely eradicate all goblin forces, and use the simplest and most rude way to swallow all the goblins' property?
It just so happened that some time ago, the leader of the alliance, Terenas, appointed a special commissioner to come to protect the vast sea.
It is also interesting to say that this special commissioner has a somewhat old-fashioned temperament, and he is unwilling to use the portal, saying that it is more sincere to take the boat in person. After all, he should be in Kalim by now.
