Dozens of infantrymen were in front, holding large shields and carrying prefabricated wooden bridges. At Ma Yue's command, the top door bar of the wooden gate was removed. The infantrymen stared at the large wooden shields, their target of course being the defensive ditch outside the city.
Boom, boom, the two prefabricated wooden bridges were built extremely smoothly.
Wu Qi waved his hand, and the Fire Sickle cavalry began to charge out of Haifan City one after another...
A super unusual offensive and defensive battle. One side was busy attacking the city, and the defending side suddenly came out and took the initiative to build a wooden bridge.
You bastard! Aren't you counting on civil unrest in Haifan City? Then I'll catch you off guard.
Are you smart? I don't believe you're that smart. It's difficult to improvise on the battlefield; it requires a well-trained army. A large number of your soldiers are still attacking the city. They're cavalry after all. Regardless of the casualties, I don't believe you can withstand the impact.
The greatest value of cavalry is its speed. They are not afraid of the enemy having archers, but the price of casualties must be paid. What cavalry fears most is the obstruction of sword and shield soldiers and spearmen.
Ma Yue observed the battlefield from the city wall. "Are the enemy foolish? My cavalry have all charged out, and your archers are just watching the fun? Oh, maybe the enemy thought it was a traitor in the city and started to cause trouble, haha!"
"Charlatan, it seems that there are no more accidents, haha!" The water bugs all laughed.
"Yes, if the traitor was used well, he could have annexed an entire division of our army. If he hadn't used it well, he could have wiped out 3,000 soldiers," Ma Yue said. If you didn't have a strong defense against a cavalry charge, and your position was penetrated by the cavalry, you'd essentially be defeated.
If the cavalry charges at a high speed, with such a large size and such a strong impact, wouldn't it be
Normal people can resist it.
The vanguard of the cavalry rushed through the enemy's archers and continued to penetrate into the enemy's interior.
Three battalions, 1,500 cavalrymen, charged out continuously.
"I'll leave this to you. It would be even better if we could capture the enemy's ships, haha!" Ma Yue instructed Shuichong and went to the west with the guards.
The west was still calm, and the scouts who came every now and then didn't bring any unusual news.
Whether it is the north or the west, the distance is too far and the news cannot be so timely.
Was the branch three days' journey from the cavalry too far? Ma Yue began to reflect on his decision.
If it’s not far away, what’s the point of establishing a branch?
Hey! We can't be so heartbroken about losing another branch that we dare not expand. A branch, with a chief and deputy soldiers, still has a thousand cavalry. Unless the enemy collapses from within, it won't be easy to swallow up these thousand cavalry.
If there's a problem, we should find a way to solve it. We can't throw the baby out with the bathwater, right? Mistakes are inevitable during development. Hadn't we considered this long ago? The Hai Tribe could afford the loss. When the losses were truly enormous, Ma Yue felt the pain again.
"Could there be a traitor in the navy? This is really troublesome!" Ma Yue was a little upset. Even though he won a great victory and annihilated three thousand enemy troops, he just couldn't be happy.
Haifan City has begun to clean up the battlefield. Some of the enemy's ships have escaped, and it is already very good to have captured most of the enemy's ships.
Ma Yue also started to get busy. The enemy was probably caught off guard and was scattered by the large group of cavalry from Haifan City. There were nearly two thousand prisoners. The dead and seriously injured enemies were thrown directly into the sea.
Ma Yue was very worried and busy in naturalizing this group of captives. He kept performing large-scale miracles, and the power of faith began to appear in large numbers among the captives. But there was no rush, and it would take time.
"King Guiluo's tribe! What's the situation?"
"The Gui Luowang tribe is one of the three major tribes in Ghost City..." Xia Wu began to report the results of the interrogation.
It turns out that they are people from the ghost town, selling salt there in large quantities. People from the ghost town, aren’t you jealous?
"This time, it was the three major tribes of Ghost City who jointly dispatched troops. The three thousand troops in the west were indeed the coalition forces of the three major tribes of Ghost City. The traitor was indeed the witch within the Gui Luo King's clan. The witches of the Gui Luo King's tribe have many outstanding disciples who are good at deceiving people..."
Gradually, everything aligned.
I had underestimated the strength of Ghost City. I had originally wanted to attack it, but... they only sent half of the coalition forces, only 6,000 to 7,000 men. The Sea Tribe had really come knocking on my door, practically handing me over.
A large number of enemy weapons were seized, almost all of which were made of copper. There were also a small number of copper knives and copper axes, totaling only about two or three hundred. Most of them were spearmen with copper spear tips.
A large number of arrows had copper tips.
In terms of the seizure of copper weapons, the Sea Tribe had the greatest gain.
"This thing has a range of fifty to sixty meters, which is pretty good." The captured bows and arrows are enough for the Sea Tribe to expand an archer brigade. "Huangpi, take a look. It would be even better if you can imitate it."
If we can't figure it out ourselves, we can probably just imitate it, right? How advanced can bows and arrows be in this era? Tsk!
"Charlatan, if we have this bow and arrow, we can go back and deal with the grassland people, haha!" Wu Qi said with a smile.
"That makes sense. Our bows and arrows will have a longer range than those of the grassland people." Ma Yue was very pleased.
"You charlatan, there are still a large number of coalition forces from the three major tribes in the ghost town in the west." Shuichong reminded.
"In general, we have no advantage over the coalition forces of the three tribes in Ghost Town. They have also occupied the Ice Eye Tribe and have the advantage of terrain, which makes it difficult for us to deal with them," said Ma Yue.
"The most important thing is that we are not on the same page with the Thunder God Tribe and the Qing Feng Tribe over there. Even if we form a coalition, we still have to be wary of each other. If we don't unite with the Thunder God Tribe and the Qing Feng Tribe, we really don't have any advantages in terms of manpower and equipment. It won't be cost-effective no matter what we do." Wu Qi said.
