"If the cavalry of our Sea Tribe don't have some skills, do you think the grassland people will let you go?" What Ma Yue said made sense. The climate of Donghai Island also has winter, but it is not as cold as that of Sun City. Generally speaking, the cavalry can still fight.
Wu Qi's army showed great willpower and fought so hard that the grassland people felt that it was not worth fighting and withdrew.
"Where did they retreat to?" Ma Yue asked.
"There are less than two thousand grassland cavalrymen left. They rushed into the inland area on the eastern side of Donghai Island and their whereabouts are unknown," said Wu Qi.
"Well, let's leave these grassland cavalry behind to annoy the Guilin King tribe, haha!" Ma Yue laughed. Even the navigator Hai Rui was not sure whether Donghai Island was an island.
The westernmost part of Donghai Island is Xishui Bay. Further east, there are Dongshui Bay and Oak Bay. Further east, the coast of the island is far away. So far, the westernmost part of Donghai Island has not been discovered.
Hai Rui once explored the coast westward along Dongshui Bay for a year, but still did not reach the end. It can be seen that Donghai Island is super large.
As for the white people, after returning from the southern grassland coast, they took their own fleet to explore westward along the coast in the direction of Oak Bay, and have not returned yet.
"Divide the 1,000 cavalrymen you brought back into two groups and send them to the northern and southern divisions. Also, teach them some lessons learned from large-scale cavalry battles. Understand?"
"Yes, I'll do it right away." The charlatan did not blame himself, but encouraged himself. Wu Qi was very moved.
Of the 9,000 troops that Ma Yue led on the expedition, 4,000 were killed or wounded. He left 2,000 in Haishen City. The remaining 6,000, plus the 1,000 Wu Qi brought back, were given to the two divisions in the north and south, each with 2,000 cavalry. There were still 2,000 left in Haifan City and some wounded soldiers.
Generally speaking, Haifan City has enough troops. The main thing is the planned Dongshuiwan branch, which Ma Yue gave up.
The one thousand able-bodied men and more than two thousand old and weak people brought back from Sun City will stay in Haifan City first and slowly assimilate.
Overall, the Hai tribe had a great advantage in this winter campaign. Ma Yue's favorite large livestock were harvested, totaling 5,000. (Of course, Wu Qi lost 2,000 cavalry, and 2,000 large livestock were lost.)
As for the other harvests, the thousands of sheep and the many stolen radishes, they were all negligible in Ma Yue's mind.
The Hai Tribe no longer lacked food, but after pickling a lot of salted radish, they were a bit short on salt. Salt was a disadvantage, but as long as they could eat enough, it wouldn't be a big deal if they ate less salt.
The Sea Tribe swept through the two major tribes of Sun City, conquering two large stone cities in one fell swoop. This record was terrifying. Everyone said that the Sea Tribe was powerful. Until now, the Sea Tribe rarely fought wars. Only when they fought did you truly realize how fierce the Sea Tribe's fighting power was.
Many major powers were concerned about the existence of that ball that flew into the sky and threw kerosene. However, it was pointless; even the people of the Sea Tribe themselves barely knew what it was. The only ones who knew were the deputy battalion of the Guards, the charlatan.
Of course, the Tool Manufacturing Brigade also knows what's going on, but the Tool Manufacturing Brigade has been hiding in Haifan City, and no one can contact them, right?
The most difficult part of making balloons is the copper furnace; it needs to be large and light, making it much more complicated than making a copper knife. Therefore, having twenty balloons is already a rare achievement.
After this actual test, Ma Yue felt that it was almost good enough. Making a copper furnace was too troublesome and seriously affected the production of other copper products in the copper workshop. It was not cost-effective.
In actual combat, especially in street fighting, the copper axe demonstrated great power and played a decisive role.
Of course, the copper axe is one of the main tools produced by the copper workshop in the new stage of the Sea Tribe, and the output will gradually increase.
In actual combat, the double-ringed jar-throwing system didn't play a leading role in siege warfare, essentially serving as a supplement to the balloon fire attack. Many of the kerosene jars launched from the double-ringed jar-throwing system crashed into the city walls, setting them ablaze, which was of little use. Of course, it wasn't as effective as kerosene jars dropped from the sky.
This battle in the Sun City area is mainly about siege warfare. In other words, the double-ring pottery jar throwing rope will have little significance in future siege warfare.
As for whether the double-ring pottery jar throwing line still has great value in field combat, it still needs to be proven in future actual combat.
Of course, the great significance of the double-ring pottery jar throwing line in naval battles has been demonstrated, and it is still very useful after all.
Batu and Buhe also performed well in the Dongshuiwan Cavalry Battle and were rotated to the North Branch; Zhang Long and Zhao Hu went to the South Branch.
After the war, we need to summarize the various combat modes and how to better improve combat efficiency. Each branch is also constantly summarizing experiences and lessons.
The Sea Tribe is gone, and the Ghost Forest King Tribe is a fool. The most important part of the plan is to ask the Sea Tribe to join the water. The Sea Tribe doesn't want to play with you anymore. Even the basic large livestock trophies are gone, and they still want to play with you for nothing?
Primitive people had their share of clever individuals, and the chief shaman of the Ghost Forest King Tribe was known as the wisest. However, primitive human wisdom was ultimately limited. The chief shaman of the Ghost Forest King Tribe had miscalculated, and the charlatans of the Sea Tribe had sufficient capital to gain no interest in the spoils.
Even with the most lucrative saltwater lake benefits, the Sea Tribe said no.
It is said that the charlatans in the Sea Tribe love to take advantage of others, but what about it?
The vast western part of Donghai Island, East Water Bay, and Oak Bay, have all become your Ghost Forest King tribe. Can you eat it all? Do you have so many main tribesmen? Do you have enough food to feed them?
Ma Yue thought, you are smart, I can't beat you, so it's okay if I don't play with you, right?
The Hai Tribe is already so big, Ma Yue really has no interest in setting up a branch on Donghai Island. He can't afford to worry about it.
