The street fighting in Star City lasted for several hours and finally came to an end. After all, the Sea Tribe's teamwork was superior to the individual bravery of the Sky Beef Tribe, giving them an advantage in street fighting.
What's more, the Sea Tribe is equipped with a lot of copper weapons and has a huge advantage in weapons, which is simply not comparable to the Longniu Tribe.
"All the able-bodied men of the Longniu tribe wearing thick fur coats must be driven out of Xingxing City." Ma Yue did not want any prisoners. He thought that the able-bodied captives with thick fur coats would not freeze to death if they were driven out, and that leaving the old and weak behind would be very merciful.
After two consecutive wars, the soldiers of the Sea Tribe are also very tired and need more time to rest. Why leave so many hidden dangers?
"You charlatan, there's a lot of salt here." Tiedan said.
"That's good. We've been out for quite a while, and we were just worried we'd run out of salt." Ma Yue nodded. "Give the soldiers a few good meals to change their energy."
"You charlatan, this time the harvest is good, almost four thousand donkeys, haha!" Tiedan knew what Ma Yue wanted.
"That's pretty good." Ma Yue was indeed satisfied. "Are there heavy casualties?"
"There are more than 3,000 of them. Some of them can return to the team after treatment." Tiedan said.
"The loss was significant, but it was worth it." Ma Yue nodded. It was only after experiencing such a brutal battle that the Hai Tribe developed its military spirit, right? As the tribe grew larger, such battles would become inevitable.
The Hai tribe is mainly engaged in farming, so they can't just be farmers, right? Their combat effectiveness can't decline, so they have to fight, they can't just sit there idle.
"Swindler, we have lost four thousand people. Do we need to capture some more prisoners?" Tiedan asked.
"The Yams left in Sun City are already being processed. The main force and direct descendants of the Tengu Tribe have all fled. The remaining ones are mostly people from small, dependent tribes, so they are easier to assimilate."
In reality, the battle in Sun City wasn't intense; otherwise, the Sea Tribe wouldn't have lost only a thousand men. Of those thousand, hundreds were lost in the siege (being outflanked). Clearly, the street fighting in Sun City wasn't intense. With the Tengu Tribe fleeing, how much confidence do the smaller tribes affiliated with you have in resisting?
Almost everyone surrendered.
This is also the reason why Ma Yue did not drive away the strong men wearing thick fur coats in Sun City.
However, this is not the case for Xingxing City. After such a brutal war, they have made a deep enmity with the Tianniu Tribe, and it is too difficult to naturalize them.
Is the Sea Tribe short of men? They're looking for recruits, and there are plenty of people willing to join. Ma Yue wasn't particularly interested in recruiting in the Sun City area. He instructed Shan Yao to recruit one or two thousand strong men. "If you recruit strong men, you can't leave the elderly and the weak behind, right?"
Ma Yue recruited these people not to replenish his troops, but to bring back the spoils. This time, during the attack on Sun City and Star City, a great deal of spoils were captured.
If you don't make money from war, what's the point of fighting?
"I'm back. What does the Tianshui tribe mean?"
"They are willing to compensate us with a thousand donkeys and a thousand sheep. If we are willing to hand over Sun City to their Tianshui tribe, the Tianshui tribe is willing to give half of the salt mountain's output to Poseidon City." Chunwu returned.
"It's alright." Ma Yue wasn't particularly satisfied or dissatisfied. He simply didn't want to continue fighting. The purpose of this expedition had been achieved, and they'd reaped a rich harvest. The Sea Tribe's army had been battle-hardened, so it was time to leave.
The Tianshui tribe's willingness to contribute half of the salt mountain's output was an unexpected gain. After all, Ma Yue had no intention of continuing to occupy the salt mountain here, right?
"Go and hand over Sun City to the Tianshui tribe, and have Shan Yao lead his men out of Sun City."
"I'll go right away." Chun Wu also knew that the war was over and it was time to go home.
In Sun City, the Hai Tribe only took a portion of the grassland captives. What should be done with the remaining grassland people? They can only be handed over to the Tianshui Tribe. Otherwise, these more than 10,000 grassland people will be left with nowhere to go. By relying on the Tianshui Tribe, there is at least a chance of survival, right?
Chunwu and Tianshui tribes completed the handover. From then on, the Sun City area was ruled by only the Tianshui tribe. Ma Yue didn't care anymore and left with his own men and a large amount of spoils.
Ma Yue believed that after this battle, no one would dare to attack Poseidon City anymore. At least, they would be able to stay quiet for a few years. There weren't many people left in Poseidon City. It was ridiculous to plant some radishes, but they were always snatched away by others.
Fortunately, there is still salt in Poseidon City, and the large number of radishes brought back can be pickled into salted radishes.
Ma Yue also made some adjustments to these generals. Big Bad Wolf was thrown into the southern branch; Lu Fang and Guo Sheng were left in Poseidon City. There were no other important leaders here, so they were almost the leaders in charge of one side. It was also a reward for Lu Fang and Guo Sheng's diligent and hard-working performance over the years.
Wu Xiaodong and Huojiandao were transferred to Lingguo Island to hone their skills in a different environment. Hopefully, they would become more familiar with the civil affairs of the Ministry, in addition to fighting. The duties of the Sea Tribe's commanders were becoming increasingly diversified, and both Gray Wolf and Luo Bai had begun taking on civil affairs.
In the end, only 4,000 people remained in Poseidon City, but they did leave behind approximately 3,000 donkeys. For next year's spring plowing, Lü Fang and Guo Sheng would have to increase their cooperative farming model. Fortunately, Poseidon City was already familiar with this model, and the management system was standardized. They believed Lü Fang and Guo Sheng wouldn't have any trouble.
Although Lü Fang and Guo Sheng lacked any creative abilities, they were quite good at following the rules, which was quite satisfactory. Poseidon City didn't need any creativity, mainly because there weren't many strong enemies.
