"Let's go!" Ma Yue jumped onto the horse's back, and Wangcai also jumped on.
After being cooped up in Haifan City for days, the spirit horse darted into the sea and disappeared. Horses, as it were, love to run; if they don't, they'll degenerate. Even galloping through the sea was a thrill for the spirit horse.
Haifan City sent out troops, once, and again. Everyone says the Sea Tribe is powerful. Look at them, piles and piles of troops...
There weren't many large livestock transported by sea, only about 2,000. Why? Poseidon City itself had 2,000 to 3,000 large livestock. Besides, this was a winter battle, so cavalry wouldn't make much sense.
Just use the snowmobiles to transport the troops. The real strength of the Sea Tribe lies in its infantry. No matter how many cavalry you grassland people have, you can't break through the Sea Tribe's infantry formation.
The reduction in large livestock transported by sea also saves on transportation capacity. Otherwise, it would be difficult to transport 7,000 cavalry at one time.
Generally speaking, apart from the 5,000 new recruits recruited by Haifan City before the autumn harvest, Haifan City actually only lost 1,000 soldiers, which did not cause much loss to Haifan City's defense force.
"We've traded so many large kun fish, and we still have plenty of food left." The third priest complained, but inwardly, he was filled with joy. This year had been so hard, but at last, we were no longer short of food. Next year would be even better, with a summer harvest, and food wouldn't be so tight.
"The price of Kun fish in the Qinghai tribe has not increased. Generally speaking, this kind of transaction is still cheaper for us." Shuichong said. It is only twice the weight of the Kun fish (ten tons of Kun fish can be exchanged for twenty tons of sweet potatoes or potatoes). It is indeed very cheap and a conscience price.
"Having said that, the Qinghai tribe is still worried that we will stop trading grain with them, haha!" The third priest laughed.
"Yes, food is always the most important thing. It's so cold in that damn place Wuji Island, it's impossible to grow food there." Everyone takes what they need. This is why Wuji Island can harvest a large number of Kun fish. Otherwise, why would you use chicken feathers to exchange food with the Sea Tribe?
"The two tribes in Ghost Town should have developed well in farming. They exchanged a lot of copper plows and shovels from our Hai tribe." said the third priest.
"Our Sea Tribe didn't suffer any loss either. We have made a lot of copper axes, and our sword and shield soldiers are even more powerful." In the infantry phalanx of the Sea Tribe, the sword and shield soldiers at the forefront are of course very important. If the sword and shield soldiers can't hold on, the entire army formation will fall apart.
A knife, a slender copper tool, is relatively difficult to make (the same is true for copper shovels and pickaxes, the level of copper making is still not good enough), while an axe, a relatively thick copper tool, is relatively easier to make and is much more ferocious to use than a knife.
Of course, neither copper axes nor copper spearheads have yet become universally available. This is quite good; if it weren't for the large quantities of copper ingots contributed by the two major tribes in Ghost City, the popularity of copper artifacts in the Sea Tribe would have been much slower due to the limited raw materials. Overall, Qiuhai City's copper mine output is still much less than Ghost City's.
It’s good enough to have one. The big tribes in other areas don’t even have copper mines.
"The two major tribes in the ghost town can basically solve the problem of food and clothing, and they will become stronger sooner or later. In the future, our sea tribe will have more and more opponents." The third priest had his own concerns. After all, who doesn't want to be the only one in power?
"The charlatan made some things claiming to be secret weapons. I saw them, but I couldn't figure out what they meant," said Shuichong.
"The charlatan must be trying to keep it a secret. This time he plans to use it in the Sun City area." The third priest didn't know why the charlatan had people sew so many fish skins, and a large amount of extremely tough fishing lines.
The charlatan also specially formed a deputy guard, which only had a few hundred people. They were all raised by the children's army in Haifan City and were extremely loyal.
As long as they're in the Imperial Guards, no other high-ranking leader in the Sea Tribe has the right to interfere. It's best not to ask. In theory, the Imperial Guards' lieutenants are the cradle of future Imperial Guards. If the Imperial Guards are lost, they'll simply be replaced by the Lieutenants.
Of course, the deputy guards also worked on a regular basis. However, when they did work, they were always in Haifan City or the surrounding areas, and the leaders of the work were either Xia Wu or Dick. The Ministry of Civil Affairs only assigned work tasks and had no control over the management of the deputy guards.
The only people in the Hai Tribe who didn't have to work were the 100-man Royal Guards, whose sole duty was to protect the nearby shaman. Since Lei Qing's departure, the other lesser priests, leaders, and the like no longer had the same privileges as the Royal Guards, including Bing Yueyue and Bing Yueshui.
The Sea Tribe is going to declare war on the grassland people of Sun City. Are the grassland people of Sun City nervous?
To say I wasn't nervous would be a lie. The Sea Tribe was too famous, and they were also very powerful. There were many people on the grassland, but that was relative.
This time, the Sea Tribe gathered an army of 9,000 and headed straight for Sun City.
In winter, covered with ice and snow, the advantages of cavalry cannot be fully utilized. Even if you wrap leather around the donkey's hooves, it will not be able to run freely like in summer.
The grassland people's greatest strength is their archery. Even with the same cavalry, you really can't outrun them. Luo Bai had experienced this firsthand. Therefore, the best time to fight the grassland people is in winter.
Of course, even if it wasn’t winter, the Hai tribe’s army would still cause trouble on the grassland.
Without the cavalry's advantage in archery, the grassland army in the Sun City area did not dare to attack head-on against the army of the Sea Tribe.
The Sea Tribe sent out its troops, and they gathered at Poseidon City, which happened to be the coldest time of winter.
Some rode large animals, some sat on snowmobiles. In short, the Sea Tribe's army was not slow at all during the winter march.
The most depressed one was Gray Wolf. Not only was he not allowed to lead the troops into battle, but he was also thrown directly into Poseidon City by Ma Yue. You, stay behind to defend. It's so cold, just leave 2,000 people in Poseidon City.
