Are you here to attack Haifan City? Haha! Shuichong laughed confidently. "No matter how many troops you bring, it's useless."
Haifan City originally had 2,000 regular and deputy soldiers; Ma Yue did not take away all the soldiers who withdrew from the southern branch, and there were still 500 regular and deputy soldiers; Qiu Haicheng evacuated, and there were still about 500 regular and deputy soldiers left here.
With three thousand regular and deputy soldiers, plus over twenty thousand men and women, even if you send an army of ten thousand, it will be useless. Shuichong is extremely experienced and confident in defense.
The coalition forces are landing one after another.
"Water bugs, we can't let them land so comfortably." said Horse-Faced Guard.
"What do you think?" Shuichong asked.
"The most feared thing about landing warfare is a surprise attack. I suggest that our cavalry launch a surprise attack."
"Okay, you lead 500 cavalrymen to attack. I also want to see the enemy's true combat effectiveness." Shuichong had no objection. What the Hai tribe hated most was landing operations. On the contrary, if the enemy landed, why couldn't they attack?
Cavalry has the advantages of cavalry.
"Want a continuous assault?" Niutou approached. Although this guy belonged to the Civilian Tribe, he had fought many battles in the past. The Sea Tribe had no shortage of leaders who were both civil and military.
"Alright! I'll give you 500 cavalrymen too. You can act accordingly."
"I understand. I won't do anything rash." Niu Tou was in high spirits. He hadn't fought for a long time. The violent genes in the primitive man's bones began to surge in Niu Tou's body again.
"Chief, it's bad. A large number of cavalry are coming from the west of the city. They should be the coalition forces of the forest tribes." The scouts arrived.
"Well, you all think you can take advantage of something, haha!" Shuichong now has the demeanor of a great general and remains calm in times of crisis.
"Water bugs, what should we do?" The second priest was in a state of annoyance. Either they didn't come, or so many of them came.
"Tiedan, gather a thousand cavalry. Five minutes after Niutou launches his attack, you will lead a thousand cavalry and charge. Completely overwhelm the enemy landing on the beach, no matter how many there are."
"I understand!" Tiedan also retreated from Qiu Haicheng.
"Shan Yao, gather the remaining 1,000 regular and deputy soldiers and lead them to the west gate to resist the attack of the forest coalition forces."
"yes!"
The troops were divided up just like that.
"I'll organize the old and weak to join the defense." The second priest saw that Shuichong had made good arrangements and it was time to do his duty. Once the war started, men, women, old and weak would all participate.
The coalition forces were indeed numerous, but facing so many cavalry charges during a landing battle was a real test of willpower. Unfortunately, the combined forces of the Dragon Scale and Taki tribes lacked experience in combat against cavalry.
The coalition forces in the ghost town do have some experience, but they are a coalition force after all, and at least they are a whole.
The Horse-Faced Guard was very clever and quickly found the enemy army's weak point. The cavalry rushed into the coalition forces of the Dragon Scale Tribe and the Taki Tribe. It was said that the coalition forces of the Dragon Scale Tribe and the Taki Tribe were a motley crowd, far away from this continent, and chaotic fighting was long out of date.
Sometimes, a battle cannot be won by just having a large number of people.
If even a portion of the coalition forces were dispersed, a breach would be opened. The impact of five hundred cavalrymen was terrifying. Moreover, seeing an opportunity to gain, Niutou led his men to charge out.
As Tiedan's thousand cavalry charged forward, the allied forces at Ghost Town could no longer hold out. The beach was large, but it couldn't withstand the cavalry's galloping. Landing operations were difficult, after all. Before half of the allied forces had even landed, they were already in a complete rout.
There were catapults on the ship, but the enemy and us on the shore were already fighting each other. If the catapults attacked at this time, it would definitely injure friendly forces by mistake.
Many defeated soldiers have already rushed to the sea, and they can save their lives by swimming back to the ship.
"Surrender and you won't be killed!" The cavalrymen from the Sea Tribe have begun to solicit surrender in various dialects.
The combined forces of several tribes, wailing on the beach, along with approximately two thousand captives, were driven into Haifan City by cavalry. In this first battle, the combined forces suffered over a thousand casualties and two thousand captured. Fortunately, many escaped back to their ships.
Men, women, old and young all went into battle, the prisoners were all tied up, and the battle was won.
"Niutou and Mamian, well done!" Shuichong was also very excited. This bet was right. They would target one side first and completely crush the arrogance of the maritime coalition forces. Now that the morale of the maritime coalition forces was gone, no matter how many people there were, how much of a threat could they pose?
"Captain of the Water Bugs, the enemy is a bit weak, haha!" said the Horse-Faced Guard with a smile.
"What if the enemy lands again? Should we send out cavalry attacks?" asked Niu Tou.
"We can't afford the loss." Although this attack was a great victory, we also lost more than 300 cavalrymen. There were not many troops in Haifan City in total.
"I understand. It's still more profitable to defend the city." Niu Tou nodded.
"Alright! I'll leave you a thousand soldiers. I'll leave this place to you two."
"Don't worry, Chief Shuichong. We have so many people in Haifan City. How can we let him break in?" It's comfortable to be in the Sea Tribe. There is strength in numbers. Bull Head and Horse Face are extremely confident.
"Tiedan, I'll leave you 500 cavalrymen, the last remaining mobile force of Haifan City. Understood?"
"Yeah!" Tiedan was also an elder of the Hai Tribe, and he had deep feelings for the tribe. He had experienced many battles and was a good general.
Shuichong took the remaining people and went to the west gate.
After all, being attacked from two sides, the pressure on Shuichong was immense. With only a thousand regular and auxiliary soldiers on each side, they had to take turns defending the city walls. Many elderly and weak soldiers also joined the battle, greatly compensating for the lack of manpower.
The war machine of Haifan City is running, and the Ministry of Civil Affairs has played a huge role. A large number of weapons have been transported out of the Materials City and sent to the East City and the West City in a steady stream.
