Since there has never been any experience of setting foot on the sea in Draenor, sailing is undoubtedly unfamiliar to the orcs.
After arriving on the continent of Azeroth, this brave and warlike race had to adapt to the rules of inter-race warfare in Azeroth, one of which was to make full use of the power of the sea.
If they want to cross the continent of Lordaeron, taking the Sador Bridge by land is undoubtedly the next best option, which will force them to face the strong defense of Alliance soldiers who are waiting for work at a relatively narrow pass.
The sea route is another option for them.
However, even with the help of trolls and goblins, it is difficult for the orcs to establish a strong maritime force in a short period of time. Even if they can build the strongest sea ships, they cannot have enough qualified sailors.
An army of ten years and a navy of one hundred years are not just axioms on earth.
As a result, Orgrim, the cunning warchief of the orcs, simply gave up on real battleships and instead focused on building troop transports that were relatively easy to control and had no technical level.
Even so, due to the backward processing and construction levels, the orcs' troop carriers are also extremely crudely built. They look like bare coffins on the sea. Their only advantage is that they have rough skin and thick flesh. Of course, this may also be due to Orcs are not good at fine processing. However, this at least strengthens the defense capability of the troop carrier so that it will not be silenced all of a sudden.
However, the greatest strength of these Ork troopships is not their defenses, but their numbers.
In order to transport enough troops, with the sleepless efforts of the orc slaves, they built thousands of crude troop transport ships. The number of these troop transport ships even exceeded that of the human maritime fleet. Although the combat effectiveness of the two sides was not the same, But with this number alone, the human fleet cannot easily defeat each other.
Of course, although the troop transport is not a battleship and has no combat capabilities at sea, the orcs are not without the ability to fight back. The Red Dragon Knight from the Dragonmaw Clan is their trump card.
Although there are not many red dragon knights who have been trained to send escorts, creatures like red dragons are powerful enough for the alliance's maritime power.
The advantage of flying in the air makes them invincible, and the strong scales make the few weapons that humans have that can slightly affect dragons useless. The blazing dragon's breath is simply the biggest killer for wooden sailboats.
When the alliance's army was encircling the tribe, as soon as the red dragons took action, the alliance could not resist their offensive. If they did not want to suffer heavy losses, they would have to flee.
Originally, it should be like this.
However, under the arrangement of Ye Ting, an outsider, the new script had already been written.
……
Ever since he received the signal to set sail from the Orc fleet, as the supreme commander of the alliance's maritime forces, Daelin had brought his fleet to stand ready.
Judging from the location and direction from which the orcs set out, their goal was the coast of the Hillsbrad Hills.
Although Lothar had already led his army to hurriedly set up defenses along the Hillsbrad Hills, the long coastline could not be fully defended in a short period of time.
Daelin led his fleet and arrived in advance near the tribe's must-have island, Zul'dre Island. After a short supply of supplies, he began to prepare to intercept the orcs.
Ye Ting's calculation of time was not wrong at all.
When the Horde and Alliance fleets arrived, it was late at night.
However, even in the dark night, Admiral Daelin Proudmoore could still see countless shining points coming from the sea level.
He knew that it was the bright light used for lighting on the orc fleet. For this novice fleet, they had to rely on this to sail smoothly at night and avoid colliding with each other and causing tragic disasters.
However, for Daelin and his navy, this bright light was the beacon and target for their attack.
Admiral Daelin spent his life leading his armies on the high seas. Throughout Azeroth, his maritime combat experience is unparalleled. In the opinion of this experienced old"Sea Wolf", the prey is still a little far away now. Judging from the range of battleship artillery, they must be moved closer to attack.
However, the old hunter has enough patience to wait.
Soon, the lights from the Horde fleet were approaching.
Close.
Closer.
However, before issuing the order to attack, Daelin was shocked by the orc fleet.
What a huge fleet this is. Looking around, the sea in front of us is densely packed with orc warships. Although the formation is chaotic, the dense fleet still stretches for several miles, with thousands of ships. The torches illuminated the sea as bright as day.
This exaggerated number was simply an overwhelming advantage for Daelin's fleet. Except for the time when the entire Kingdom of Stormwind evacuated, Daelin had never seen such a large fleet again.
However, most of the Stormwind Kingdom's evacuation vehicles used civilian ships, which were far from warships.
However, after Dai Lin took another closer look, he immediately laughed.
Although the orc fleet in front of them has a large number of ships, in fact, they are not warships at all, and they are even far from civilian ships. They are clearly just coffins on the sea.
It is too easy to deal with such an enemy.
Therefore, Dai Lin decisively issued the order to attack.
The human fleet was much more disciplined than the orcs. After Dailin gave an order, they all lit up the long-lost lights and exposed themselves to the tribe.
It was only then that the orcs discovered that their opponents had long been ambushing ahead.
The ambush of the Alliance fleet made the new orc sailors panic a little. The transport ship in front of the fleet became chaotic without waiting for the opponent to take action. The orcs were so panicked that they couldn't even communicate with each other via semaphores for a while. Many orcs were in a panic. Either they forgot to communicate, or they forgot how to type or translate the semaphore, and many transport ships even crashed into each other in desperation.
However, facing the ridiculous pair, Dai Lin showed no mercy.
Following his order, the Alliance fleet forwards lined up in a row, seizing the upper hand in strict accordance with tactical standards, and fired the first salvo at the Orc fleet with a T-shaped head.
Cannons roared one after another, and the sea was filled with smoke.
The Horde suffered heavy losses in the face of Alliance artillery fire.
Many transport ships were hit by cannonballs and smashed to pieces, while many more were overturned by the water splash caused by the cannonballs at close range. The poor manufacturing level of the orcs made their ships useless except for being bulky. The shortcomings in balance are now Let them suffer a big loss.
Above Wang Yang, there were sunken ships everywhere, and the orcs who fell into the water were immediately swallowed up by the surging waves.
Proudmoore soon realized that he could even destroy an entire Horde army at sea.
Of course, at this time, he didn't know what kind of accident would happen next.
Everything will be out of his control, making him deeply aware of the limitations of the ordinary navy. _To read the ununderlined version of the novel, please download Feilu Novel A
