We are an army, not a transport brigade.
Fight! If the army isn't fighting, why are they occupying so many able-bodied men? What do you mean our navy is just eating for free? The white people are not willing to accept this. They just fish, but the harvest is too small, which makes people despise them.
"What do you want to do?" Hai Rui felt that this woman wanted to cause trouble.
"It's better to rob fish than to fish for them," said Baipi.
"Rob? Who are you going to rob?" Hai Rui also has the violent genes of a primitive man in his bones.
"Ghost Mountain Peninsula, our navy has a thousand strong men, what are we afraid of?"
"That's true. The Gray Ghost Tribe has only 2,000 people. How many able-bodied men can they have? Tsk!" Hai Rui felt that he was a sharp knife. If he didn't kill people, what else would he do with the knife?
"Take those old-fashioned seagoing vessels with you. We'll rob the sheep and the men too."
"Well, why bother buying a strong man? It's much more cost-effective to rob him." The male and female were imagining a bright future.
"I'll go find the charlatan and ask for another hundred deer cavalrymen. I can get it no matter what you say." The third commander's chair also shouted.
…
"Rob?" Ma Yue thought. It was a bit like a colonizer, a bit cruel, wasn't it? It seemed that this was his plan at the beginning, but it was delayed by the storm.
"Spirit, this season is perfect for going out to sea. It won't be long before the ocean current returns." Baipi said.
"You have quite a few ships already. Bring some marines with you."
"Marine Corps?" Baipi was stunned.
"It's not easy for the navy to train and cultivate qualified sailors, and it's not worth it if they suffer casualties in a war."
"That's true!" For white people who live on the sea, it would be very troublesome if the sailors are not helpful.
"One hundred deer cavalry, plus eight hundred marines. Your navy should also bring more flying guns and the like to serve as auxiliary soldiers to assist in the attack, which will reduce casualties. Understand?" Ma Yue said.
Whether you understand it or not, what Ma Yue said seems to make sense. The Hai tribe is a whole, and being in the spotlight cannot delay important matters.
"There are quite a few ships over there," Baipi said.
"Grab it! That's your navy's job, haha!"
…
A huge fleet was gathering, including new sailing ships, old sea vessels, almost all the navy, and the army led by Wolf. Lu Fang and Guo Sheng were also thrown to Wolf. After all, they were two powerful generals. Although they were a bit rigid, they were obedient and disciplined.
It was Wolf's first time going out as the leader of the Sea Tribe army, and he was a little nervous.
Fortunately, after all, he was the chief of a large tribe back then, so he still had some basic confidence. Gray Wolf knew that this was a training and test for himself. As a high-ranking official in the tribe, he couldn't succeed without some achievements to convince the people.
Gray Wolf called in White Skin, Hai Rui, and the chair. The navy and the army were to fight together, and the division of labor must be clear. Although the navy had some able-bodied men, many sailors were needed to guard the ships, serving as lieutenants to assist the army in combat, and captains...
Ma Yue said he would never go out to sea, so what if there was another storm? I'm the boss, so it's natural for my subordinates to handle things.
The Haifan tribe was now stronger, with more people and more able-bodied men. Even if Gray Wolf wasn't strong enough this time, Ma Yue felt he could afford the loss.
This is the confidence. Ma Yue didn’t dare to do this before.
There were only a few hundred people left to defend the Haifan tribe’s base. Facing the coalition forces of the Thunder God tribe and the Ice Eye tribe, Ma Yue was also afraid.
"Just because we are strong, should we bully the weak?"
"Rob the grain, rob the sheep, rob the women!"
Haha! Ma Yue even laughed. It was a bit like the Japanese invaders invading the village.
Over the past year or so of peaceful development, the two branches in the north and south have gradually established themselves. They brought in a thousand donkeys and wildebeests from Poseidon City, and purchased a thousand able-bodied men. Each branch has five hundred regular soldiers and five hundred deputy soldiers, all of whom are cavalry. Their basic strength is quite good.
There were also thousands of acres of arable land, and the yields of potatoes and corn were good. The branch had already begun to take on the air of a large tribe.
I remember when I first traveled here, the Hai tribe only had about fifty people, and about ten able-bodied men. It was completely different now.
"Charlatan, let's rob the ghost town next time." Luo Bai was itchy. It was so exciting to fight. This guy had only been rotated back for a few months.
There's only one water bug left in Poseidon City, so it should be fine. Is everything peaceful there?
"It's not impossible. We don't have anything worth trading with the ghost town right now." What Ma Yue wanted to trade most was large livestock, which couldn't be obtained anywhere else. There was nothing new in the ghost town, so there was no point in keeping them.
"That's right, you charlatan. We haven't explored the end of our journey to the north yet. I can bring back some strong men and set up two more branches in the north. We have so many strong men. Even if there are no cavalry in the branch, if anyone dares to pay attention to us, we will kill them right away." Luo Bai said fiercely.
The lack of cavalry didn't mean the army couldn't be expanded. If there were enough troops, taking down something like Thundergod City wouldn't be difficult. In this era, war ultimately depended on numbers.
"Cavalry?" Ma Yue fell into deep thought. "People on the grassland have donkeys!" Ma Yue opened his eyes.
"Ah?" Luo Bai was upset. He had fought against the grassland people with hundreds of cavalrymen before. The grassland people were good at riding, and the cavalrymen really could not beat them.
"What the charlatan means is... winter!" The second priest reacted the fastest.
"Yes! If we have snow vehicles in winter, our troop transport speed and ability will be even better than that of the grassland people. If our cavalry brings a large number of infantry, we don't have to be afraid of the grassland people at all." Luo Bai finally reacted.
The basis of everything is that you have to have enough troops.
It wasn't possible back then, but what about now? The population of the Haifan tribe is over 9,000. If we grab a group of people from the Guishan Peninsula, the population will definitely exceed 10,000. What's the difficulty in sending 3,000 to 5,000 regular and deputy soldiers?
There were at least two thousand large livestock in Poseidon City, right? Plus a large number of ice and snow vehicles... Most importantly, the Haifan Tribe had a powerful navy that could guarantee sufficient transportation capacity.
"We have decided on this for now. You guys should discuss it and perfect the plan for the winter attack on the grassland people. We can mobilize as many troops as possible. Even if dividing the tribes means delaying a season of farming, it's worth it. We need as many large livestock as possible."
Ma Yue said, "The grassland people have occupied the seven hundred cities we worked so hard to build. It's time to pay the price."
"That's right, why do they say we must have peace? Damn it!" Luo Bai was very excited. After all, the Seven Hundred Cities were lost under his leadership, and Luo Bai still had this thorn in his heart.
"There's a good chance that the ocean current will come back in winter. We'll have enough time to prepare for the attack." Ma Yue said, "Luo Bai, it's up to you."
"Don't worry, charlatan, I guarantee to complete the task." It's time to wash away the shame.
"It's still early in the winter this year, so let's just do what we need to do." Spring plowing has just ended, it's just a plan.
Ma Yue's attack on the grassland people was essentially the same as a ghost town. The trade value from Poseidon City wasn't great anymore. If they couldn't exchange them for donkeys, why would they keep the grassland people around? It would be better to just rob them and increase their stockpile of large livestock.
Only if we have more large livestock can we have more mobile cavalry to expand into more branches. The climate in this area is really good. It would be a waste if we don't develop it as much as possible.
