If iron horseshoes cannot be made, copper horseshoes will do. This will make the horse useless, which is a pity.
However, Qiu Haicheng has been occupied by the Ghost City Alliance. Damn it! If I can't make copper anymore, how can I research horseshoes?
Never mind. The horses of the Hai Tribe rarely walked on such stone paths, so it wouldn't wear out the cuticles of the large livestock's hooves much. Whether it was a horse's hoof or the hooves of large livestock like donkeys and wildebeests, the cuticles were like human fingernails; if worn, they would grow back on their own.
What we are worried about is that if the horse often walks on gravel roads, its hooves will be excessively worn out and unable to keep up with the regeneration speed of the cuticle of the new hoof.
The several branches of the Hai Tribe were mostly covered in grass and soft soil, which didn't cause much wear and tear on the hooves of large livestock. Therefore, since there were almost no large livestock with damaged hooves, Ma Yue had never paid much attention to them.
It's such a mess here.
Ma Yue had wandered around Qiuhai City, but Lei Qing had wiped out all the large tribes, leaving many small ones. It seemed that after the Ghost City coalition arrived, they launched a new round of sweeps.
Ma Yue arrived at this relatively familiar place and knew that he was not far from Qiu Haicheng.
"I'll give you some horses and food. If you want to go back by land, you can leave now. We're fighting here, so we might leave at any time."
The prisoner guide group was disbanded just like that. Ma Yue was still respectful and did not kill them to silence them.
"Let's take a break." After all, the soldiers were very tired after a long journey of more than thirty days.
"Charlatan, what should we do?" asked Big Bad Wolf.
"Guerrilla warfare, we're cavalry, what are we afraid of? Even if we can't win, can't we just run away? In short, we can't let them rest. In two days, Gray Wolf, take a thousand cavalrymen and go to Qiuhai City first."
"I like this, hehe!"
Gray Wolf originally came from a grassland tribe, and was a professional at "grass-cutting".
Ma Yue doesn't want to leave for the time being. I'm going to fight with you guys. I'll leave when I get bored.
With so many able-bodied men, even if they make a living by fishing or hunting, how could they possibly starve to death? We brought plenty of salt with us. As long as there's enough salt, we can persist in the long-term struggle.
On the third day, Big Bad Wolf left with a thousand cavalrymen.
"Fire Scythe, your team should follow. If Gray Wolf gets excited, you should make your own judgment. If there is an advantage to be gained, you should attack if necessary."
"Wu Xiaodong, you take care of the remaining horses. Wait until the Fire Scythe team returns, then you can go. In short, the principle is that we cannot let the occupying forces in Ghost Town rest. Destroy all the farming, smelting, copper mining, and so on."
Gray Wolf will lead the main cavalry, while Wu Xiaodong and Huo Liandao will take turns leading the smaller cavalry. Don't worry about losses, we still have plenty of spare horses...
The Fire and Scythe cavalry brigade also left.
"Let's go hunting!" Ma Yue was not idle either. He left some people to guard the hidden spare horses, and the other cavalrymen were divided into several groups to go hunting. Otherwise, what would they eat?
…
"Charge!" Gray Wolf swung his copper battle axe and charged directly at the mining area. "You want to occupy this place and start mining?" That's just wishful thinking.
"How many enemies are there? Only a thousand? Why are you so pretentious?" The thousands of miners who were mining were scattered, and the scouts who were monitoring Qiu Haicheng arrived. The enemy had sent out troops.
"Yes, they are all cavalry."
What to do? Gray Wolf's mind raced, remembering when he was on the prairie...
"Arm your infantry!" Gray Wolf gave the order promptly. Since the enemy wants to retake the mining area, you should wait and take the initiative to attack. If it were a cavalry battle, with equal strength, it would be a battle of attrition, which would be boring.
Back then, the biggest loss suffered by Gray Wolf's grassland tribe was when they attacked the infantry phalanx of the sea tribe, which was like a hedgehog...
What if the enemy doesn't directly attack the infantry phalanx? Gray Wolf thought, the enemy has already rushed up.
"Idiot!" Wolf felt that he didn't need to use his brain anymore. He was the same idiot as himself. Cavalry was awesome, but how could you just charge at a neat column of infantry like that?
The sword and shield soldiers were in the front, followed by the four-meter-long bamboo spearmen, and the flying spearmen...
The Sea Tribe's army is at least well-organized.
Although the Sea Tribe's infantry phalanxes were well-organized, their shields offered limited protection against the massive cavalry charging and throwing weapons, and casualties were inevitable. In a large-scale confrontation, it all came down to who possessed the strongest willpower.
When someone falls, the substitutes will quickly make up for it by throwing thousands of shots. This requires courage.
Horses are also intelligent, so they are afraid of long bamboo spears with spear tips made from split spear heads.
A head-on attack on a reorganized phalanx with strong willpower is... bullshit no matter what!
"Reserve troops, make a flanking attack!" The enemy is in complete chaos, so don't go back. At a command from Big Gray Wolf, hundreds of soldiers in the back row jumped on their horses, divided into two teams, and began to encircle and attack from both sides of the chaotic battlefield.
"Boom!" Just when Wolf felt that his troops were a little short, a group of cavalry launched an attack from behind the enemy.
On the battlefield, the most feared thing is being attacked from both sides. Soldiers will instinctively panic. In fact, the enemy army, which is already in chaos, will become even more chaotic.
"Flint and Sickle, you are really good at taking advantage of others." The battle was basically over, and Wolf saw Flint and Sickle.
"Chief, what should we do next?" Huojiandao was still not satisfied. In this battle, he had seized the opportunity very well. The enemies were all in disarray, so the fight was not very satisfying.
