Ma Yue admitted that the construction of the Seven Hundred Cities was a relatively poor decision, as he underestimated the grassland people's archery skills. The bows and arrows of the Sea Tribe could indeed shoot fifty or sixty meters, but they were no match for them when riding wildebeests.
Grasslanders riding donkeys don't need to pull the reins at all, leaving both hands free to shoot. Awesome, right? The Sea Tribe cavalry couldn't do that. At the very least, they needed to hold the wildebeest reins with one hand (otherwise, they'd literally fall off), and of course, they couldn't use the other hand to shoot arrows, so they could only throw rocks or spears.
In this case, there is no advantage in shooting range, and it is even worse than the grassland people who can shoot at a range of more than 30 meters on horseback.
This was the biggest advantage of the grassland people, who were natural horsemen, and it was irreparable. In the cavalry competition, in terms of speed, horse archery, and number of personnel, the cavalry of the Hai tribe could not compete with the cavalry of the grassland people.
On the prairie, if you can't defeat the cavalry, how can you survive? Dismount! Form a battle array? Or simply defend the city to the death? The people of the prairie today wouldn't foolishly attack infantry phalanxes or stone forts. The bloody lessons of war have taught them a lesson, and the people of the prairie are still growing.
Besides, the current development core is in Haifan City. The large tracts of land here are suitable for farming, and most importantly, the climate is pleasant and suitable for living.
If you want to live in Poseidon City, you need a large amount of thick fur to survive the winter. Thick fur is too precious these days.
Of course, the animal husbandry of the Hai tribe is also developing well. Although the northern branch was robbed once, overall (Qiuhai City of the Hai tribe was also robbed a lot), the development momentum of the Hai tribe is still good.
