Troggs were short in stature and ugly in appearance, but they had relatively strong limbs and a stable lower body.
Troggs did not have an advantage in eyesight, but the requirement for aiming at the head was not high in Volley Fire Tactics.
Humans have a slow rate of fire, poor accuracy, and short attack range. For this reason, Dwarf musketeers cannot be the main force in the Alliance's units and generally serve as flank protectors.
However, the Dwarf muskets are quite powerful, more so than the flintlock muskets of the Empire on which the Sun Never Sets, and can easily take down a black bear, making them very suitable for Volley Fire Tactics.
The Volley Fire Tactics did not require much from the soldiers. The Troggs were a bit dull, but with simple training, they only needed to master the basics of loading and firing. Then they had to follow the officers' orders, and the rest was all about courage.
Relatively clumsy Troggs never lacked the courage to sacrifice.
What a brilliant idea! Robbie never imagined that Volley Fire Tactics would appear in the Azeroth, let alone be used by Troggs.
Robbie sensed something unusual and began gathering information throughout the city.
It turns out that five years ago, Emperor Lagrange fell seriously ill. Even the Priestess of the Moon Tyrande examined him and personally bestowed the blessing of the Moon Goddess, concluding that there was no cure.
Strangely, Emperor Lagrange recovered, and after his illness, he seemed like a completely different person.
Rag City with thriving trade and daily profits of a fortune. Emperor Lagrange was a notorious miser, Legendary the Rag City's secret treasury contained countless treasures, yet he himself lived an exceptionally simple life.
Having been reborn, Emperor Lagrange abandoned his previous stinginess, opened his treasury, and began purchasing various weapons, mainly cannons, muskets, and Dwarf mortars. He armed a Troggs army of 50,000 men, established coastal defenses and artillery camps, and trained them tirelessly day and night.
Because the Troggs had no cavalry, the emperor recruited a Centaur tribe to serve as Troggs cavalry.
This tactic of combining infantry, artillery, and cavalry—is it an attempt to emulate Napoleon?
Needless to say, Emperor Lagrange has been replaced. Robbie is certain it's an old acquaintance, Experiment 335, who spent five years arming the Troggs. Is this an attempt to change history?
Robbie was eager to see how his old acquaintance would perform next.
Inside the city lord's mansion in Rag City, Emperor Lagrange sat on his throne.
He was short and ugly, but had a pair of bright, piercing eyes.
The news that the Orcs had obtained eleven Ancient Divine Turtles Pandaren had already reached Rag City, and Emperor Lagrange had sent several letters seeking help.
Diplomacy is an essential part of war, and these letters of distress were sent to the Night Elf race, Centaurs, Tauren, Quilboars, Kul Tiras, and the Zandalari Empire.
The Zandalari Empire did not reply, Kul Tiras stated that they were powerless to help the Divine Turtles and did not want to offend the stubborn Pandaren and cause an unnecessary war.
The Night Elf race did not understand the principle of mutual dependence; although they supported the Troggs in their fight against the Orcs, they did not send any reinforcements or provide any assistance.
The Tauren Chieftain Cairne Bloodhoof went even further, accusing the Troggs of destroying Azeroth and demanding that the city gates be opened to welcome the great Savior Thrall. The Centaurs and Quilboars, however, were willing to offer some reinforcements.
"A bunch of fools in Azeroth, beyond redemption." Emperor Lagrange looked at his reflection in the mirror with disgust. He disliked this ugly body, but had no choice.
"No one would have imagined that only the lowly Troggs would dare to stand up and rebel against the Orcs." Emperor Lagrange clenched his fist and said viciously, "I hold grudges, and I'll make Thrall suffer."
Thrall never considered the Troggs as enemies.
The task of attacking Rag City was assigned to Eitrigg. To demonstrate the Orcs' bravery, Eitrigg led 10,000 Orcs soldiers. Thrall also sent Grom Hellscream, the fearsome old Orcs, who rode a divine Divine Turtle and charged in.
Chen Stormstout also participated in the attack, his gaze vacant, Grom Hellscream, who wore a dog leash, like two puppets.
Eitrigg, with a stern expression, addressed the orc Orcs before the battle:
"The great Savior Thrall commands: slaughter all the Troggs, leave no one alive. These filthy and foolish creatures are unworthy to be the Orcs' rations. Remember, do not destroy Rag City; preserve all its buildings."
The Orcs generals were indifferent to the war; even the cruel Darkspear Trolls had been devoured by the Orcs. How could the mere weak Troggs possibly contend with the powerful Orcs?
Eitrigg received a report from his scouts that the Troggs had deployed multiple heavy cannons along the coastline. Eitrigg was unconcerned, as the Orcs's Divine Turtle mount Zhen Yuanzi, was tough and resilient, and the cannonballs hitting it were like tickling him.
Commanding the Island -like Divine Turtles to rush towards the shore, Eitrigg's goal is to use the Divine Turtles to destroy these fortifications.
The giant sea turtle slowly swam towards the shore, and the war between the Orcs and the Troggs officially began.
This was a war that was never recorded in any history. When the roar of the giant cannons began, Eitrigg realized something was wrong. The Troggs had too many cannons. The giant cannons were earth-shattering, like a landslide or a tsunami.
Although most of the cannonballs missed Zhen Yuanzi, and even those that did hit him did not cause any effective damage, the Divine Turtle was, after all, a wild beast. Faced with the endless flames and deafening roar, the Divine Turtle went berserk, turning and running away like a wild horse, constantly tumbling and bobbing in the sea. All the Orcs fell into the water, and countless people died or were injured.
The first battle between the Orcs and the Troggs ended so simply that the soldiers on both sides didn't even see each other.
Enraged, Thrall executed Zhen Yuanzi. The Divine Turtle was skinned and tortured to death, its Tough Jerky.
Chen Stormstout watched all this with indifference, but his heart had already softened; the Orcs were not Invincible.
Next, Thrall Faction 30,000 Orcs, led by High Overlord Saurfang the Great, the symbol of Orcs honor.
Rag City is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Only the side facing the beach is relatively flat and can be used to deploy troops. The other three sides have complex terrain, with cliffs or high walls.
Saurfang was a seasoned warrior; he sent out ten thousand Orcs for a frontal assault to draw enemy fire.
Based on the strength comparison between the Orcs and the Troggs, they should be able to lure out all the troops in the city. Then, each of them can send out two 10,000-strong battalions to launch a surprise attack on Rag City from the flanks, which would easily lead to victory.
This time, the Orcs were smarter. Far from the coastline, Orcs rowed their small boats to shore. Despite the constant barrage of cannon fire, only a few small boats were hit, and the Orcs' losses were within acceptable limits.
When the Orcs vanguard landed on the beach, ready to launch an attack, Saurfang was surprised to find that there were only about three thousand Troggs on the opposite side, and about a thousand Centaurs far behind.
Three thousand Troggs and a thousand Centaurs think they can fight ten thousand powerful Orcs?
Saurfang shook his head, finding it amusing, and with a command, the Orcs had landed on the beach began their attack.
The sound of the Troggs's military music rose, and three thousand Troggs formed a linear square formation, slowly approaching the Orcs.
