The assault on Thaddeus's position at the corridor entrance began with the dawn and was fought with everything that the Horde had brought across the highlands and down the Dry Pass and held through three days of supply difficulty and tactical patience.
Khao'khen's main force hit the eastern face of Thaddeus's fortifications at first light, the 1st and 2nd Warbands leading in the assault formation that Arka'garr had designed for attacking prepared positions: not the mass charge of warriors breaking themselves against an obstacle, but the calculated, coordinated application of pressure that targeted the specific points in a defensive line where engineering had not fully compensated for the terrain's limitations.
Thaddeus's position had three such points.
The Verakhs had identified all of them during the three days of observation.
