For some reason, Lei Qing seemed to realize that although the coalition forces were numerous, their will to resist was not strong. Once they suffered a huge blow, they would become a complete mob.
Lei Qing is very aggressive, and he's not satisfied with this. Who asked you to send Huoshi to reinforce with 500 strong men from the navy? Can you all ride horses? Attack! Pursue the victory and strike straight at Huanglong.
The unlucky one was the Pig Tribe. There were not many people who escaped back to the tribe, and they were so frightened that they could not organize much effective resistance. The Qiu Haicheng cavalry army, which took advantage of the victory to pursue them, broke through their simple wall defenses, and the Pig Tribe was completely destroyed.
Regardless of gender, age or status, food or livestock, everything was transported back to Qiuhai City.
"Haha..." Ma Yue laughed happily after receiving the battle report.
"You charlatan, our problem of insufficient able-bodied men has been solved now, haha!" The water bugs all laughed.
The captives captured by the coalition forces, plus those captured by destroying the Pig Tribe's main camp, totaled nearly 1,500 able-bodied men. "What the hell are you still buying? You guys aren't selling any more? We're not buying them anyway."
It’s still snatched up quickly, haha!
"You charlatan, Qiuhai City is still too small to accommodate so many people. Not only able-bodied men, but also the old and weak can come." The third priest is in charge of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. The old and weak are also labor force for the production and construction of the Ministry of Civil Affairs.
"Charlatan, the people in Qiuhai City also need to be rotated." Huoshi said.
"Yes, it is very necessary. What if there are enemy spies over there? The lesson of the Northern Branch was painful." Shuichong agreed. Nowadays in Haifan City, no matter whether it is the army or navy, or even the production brigade, all leading cadres must accept Ma Yue's inspection within a certain period of time, mainly for identification.
Who wouldn't feel sorry for a few disciples of an enemy witch who destroyed all the men and wealth of the Northern Branch just by instigating a traitor?
"Alright, let's rotate a thousand regular and deputy soldiers from Haifan City over first." As time went on, Ma Yue's planning for the prisoners became more sophisticated, and he could release them without worry. "Shuichong, you take care of this."
"Leave the rotation of the Ministry of Civil Affairs to me." The third priest took the responsibility. He was a big fan of Ma Yue and had a very strong sense of ownership.
With strong naval transport capacity, the Sea Tribe is guaranteed to have this kind of rotation.
The people of the Sea Tribe are becoming increasingly aware of the importance of the navy. The three branches of the Sea Tribe, including the headquarters of Haifan City, are all coastal cities. How can they survive without a navy?
Theoretically, the Qiuhai City area was closer to the Ghost Town, and with the allure of the copper mine, why didn't the Ghost Town attack Qiuhai City, but instead went the long way around to attack the core areas of Haifan City and the Thunder God Tribe? Ma Yue couldn't figure it out.
Judging from the weapons and equipment of the coalition forces of the three major tribes in Ghost City, Ghost City is not short of copperware. Their purpose is probably to obtain salt.
There was nothing else to do, so Ma Yue followed Huoshi's fleet north to Qiuhai City.
It has been a long time since they had been intimate with their wives. After being intimate with each other for several days, Ma Yue and Lei Qing finally remembered to get down to business.
"The most important thing about dividing the tribes is to maintain their fighting capacity. Therefore, I will leave you with 1,500 regular soldiers and 1,500 deputy soldiers in Qiuhai City. This will provide you with enough labor for farming, fighting, and any other work."
"Except for the slaves, the rest will be transported to Haifan City."
Lei Qing had no objection to Ma Yue's decision. If Qiu Haicheng had 3,000 soldiers, who would they fear? Even if half of them were lieutenants, they were still soldiers. As long as they were well-trained, the Hai Tribe's army emphasized integrity and order above all else; it couldn't be matched by a mob.
"I'll leave 1,500 horses to you, and I'll take the rest." He also had to ensure the mobility of Qiuhai City's cavalry.
Qiu Haicheng was under Lei Qing's supervision, but that didn't hinder Ma Yue's power of faith, because Lei Qing was Ma Yue's biggest super fan. Perhaps, fans could also be transmitted. Wasn't his own water-type hidden spiritual root transferred to him by Lei Qing?
Therefore, it is also easy to review the strength of faith of the officers and soldiers of Qiu Haicheng.
"You charlatan, whale oil is a good thing, and fire attack is extremely powerful. But I heard that the navy can't buy whale oil?" Lei Qing asked.
"Good things, of course, are hard to come by. These guys first ran out of livestock to sell, then even slaves; now, they're out of whale oil and sea beast hides, haha!" Ma Yue laughed. "Don't worry, the Moon Tribe over there can't hold back any longer, and the gap will keep opening up sooner or later."
You say you're out of large livestock, but didn't the Moon Tribe sell 500 wildebeest to Haifan City for salt? Without that base number of 500 large livestock, the Sea Tribe wouldn't be interested in trading with you. Besides, the Moon Tribe is so far away, and without a large enough trade, it wouldn't be worth the trip, right?
"Okay! I already have 3,000 soldiers. It's no big deal if I don't have whale oil for the time being." Lei Qing still had some confidence.
"Yes, talent is the foundation. Everything else will come sooner or later."
"Well, the training of the army is very important. This time when we were fighting against the coalition forces of the three major tribes, the enemy's overall organization was too poor, and their ability to adapt was pitifully low... You charlatan, I think the teams of the so-called big tribes here have low combat awareness and not much enthusiasm." Lei Qing felt it most deeply on the battlefield.
In layman's terms, the coalition's cohesion does not seem to be high.
"Oh? You mean, these prisoners are not suitable for military service?" Ma Yue realized something.
"Yes, it's not just the problem with the three major tribes. It turns out that the residents of Qiuhai City, especially the able-bodied men, are not very brave in battle. If it weren't for the large number of warriors from Haifan City, I wouldn't dare to take advantage of the victory and attack the Pig Tribe's lair."
Oh, no wonder, Lei Qing’s final cavalry assault was almost entirely dependent on the soldiers from Haifan City, and he even brought the navy with him, but was unwilling to bring the original Qiuhai City soldiers.
"Well, he's willing to work hard and is honest. He just lacks courage."
According to this definition, it is almost a slave tribe.
So the question is, what should we do with the 1,500 captured men?
It turned out that out of the 1,500 regular soldiers in Qiuhai City, only 800 were gathered. Except for those who died in this battle, most of the remaining regular and deputy soldiers were from Qiuhai City.
Ma Yue thought he should check it out himself.
What's the difference? Ma Yue has been in Qiuhai City for some time, and has further strengthened the faith of this group of people. Yes!
Ma Yue concentrated his mind and calmed his breath, finally gaining a general understanding. He had the power of faith, but it lacked vitality, that is, a lack of positivity. Instead, he was silent and mechanically obeyed with fear, living from day to day. He had no blood, and naturally, little vitality.
Don't forget that primitive people are aggressive at heart, regardless of gender, age or status.
But there are too many of these people, especially so many young men who lack courage. How should we arrange them?
The people of the Hai tribe, especially the able-bodied men, who farmed and herded in peacetime, were good soldiers in war, multifunctional talents. Just being honest and hardworking was no match for the soldiers. A man who couldn't fight was almost a semi-disabled man, worth less than a deputy soldier.
