"Spirit, Ma Han from Nankai City sent a letter saying that many tribes there are willing to migrate back to the Leishen City area." Spring fog is coming.
"That's right. After we left, there weren't many large livestock left in Nankai City, and the copper plows and shovels were gone. Farming became much more difficult."
"Yes, Wu Qi's army is not going back. He also knows that we are going to abandon Nankai City. In fact, many people over there are small tribes in the Leishen City area. It's normal that they are willing to follow us back."
The area of Leishen City is suitable for growing sweet potatoes, with an output of more than 1,000 kilograms per mu, which is not a small amount.
"After the autumn harvest, those who are willing to move there can go. There is a lot of land suitable for farming in the Leishen City area, and more people are needed to assist in farming." Ma Yue had no objection.
However, Ma Yue knew that Leishen City was not the end of the Sea Tribe. Even the current Sea Tribe had a limited number of large livestock and copper plows and shovels, and if they migrated again, they would not be able to give them to the surrounding tribes.
Without copper mines, there was no way to further expand the production of copper plows and shovels. What else could be done? Moreover, copper plows and shovels were constantly being worn out during the farming process.
"Spirit, do we continue to move westward?" Chun Wu asked. Further west was a large forest with many tribes. However, that was not the target of the Sea Tribe.
The sea tribe wants to farm, and the forest is not suitable.
"You charlatan, if you want to survive, you can't live without salt. The inland is nothing but salt mountains, salt water lakes and the like. I think we still have to reoccupy the Sun City. It would be better to expand inland to the west based on the salt mountains of the Sun City." said the second priest.
"That's fine. At least the inland area west of Sun City doesn't have to be separated by a big forest, right?" There was no other way. Thunder God City wanted to expand inland, but how could it get around the vast forest?
Besides, salt is indeed a big problem for the current sea tribe.
"Sun City is a bit far away, and we don't have any intelligence support there. We don't know what the situation is now with the people who fell there." Chun Wu was depressed.
"There is an advantage to developing towards Sun City. At least, it is far away from many large tribes, avoiding the possibility of being attacked by the coalition forces of many large tribes. At most, they are just grassland people." Ma Yue had his own ideas. At least, the two major forces on Donghai Island could not possibly come so far to conquer Sun City, right?
"Then let's send troops to capture the salt mountain in Sun City." It won't work without enough salt.
"Who will go? It won't work if there are not enough people." Of course it won't work if there are not enough people. Is Tielin so unlucky?
"The old way is to send Luo Bai. Thunder God City doesn't need that many troops, so Wu Qi and Luo Bai can send a few thousand more. Don't be afraid of the long distance, just use the cavalry. The summer harvest is just over, so just bring more food."
"This is the only way." Having given up Nankai City, it was clear that the charlatan would also give up Beida City. There was no other way. The overall strategy of the Hai Tribe was to advance inland. Perhaps, it wouldn't be long before even Haifan City would be abandoned.
So, Xia Wu personally went to Beida City again, and the new Beida City Joint Urban Management Committee was established...
The downside to Sun City is that the climate is getting colder, making it basically unsuitable for farming. Regardless of whether we expand westward or southward in the future, we can't avoid occupying Sun City.
Luo Bai organized an army of tens of thousands and joined Wu Qi's 3,000 cavalrymen. It was a mighty force... The Hai tribe also had limited large livestock, but it didn't matter. Summer plowing was coming anyway, and farming didn't require large livestock.
The Sea Tribe's stock of large livestock was truly substantial, with tens of thousands of cavalrymen marching, and numerous cavalry brigades galloping back and forth. After all, even with its numerous offshore branches, the Sea Tribe's primary large livestock were still in the warm zone.
It would be impossible for Luo Bai's team to leave. Sun City is so far away, and it would take several months just to march on horseback.
"The charlatan is coming, the army of grassland people is coming." The spring fog is coming.
"Just people from the grassland?" Ma Yue asked.
"Yes, the tribes on Donghai Island and Lingguo Island are still in conflict. The grassland people in the south are really active." Chunwu said. It is a long way from Poseidon City to this warm area. Well, it has been almost four months, so it is normal for the grassland people to attack.
"What about the north? Is there no movement from the Firebird Tribe that occupied Qiuhai City?" Ma Yue asked.
"We don't have any spies over there anymore."
"Okay, people from the grassland, come if you want. Haifan City is not Poseidon City. So what if they have a Martial King?" Ma Yue was worried about the coalition forces. If there were a coalition force, there would be many powerful cultivators, and that would be the most troublesome.
Among the vast army, a few powerful spiritual cultivators are not to be feared.
As for the northern and southern divisions, we can no longer control them.
The grassland people's army successfully captured Nankai City. The many remaining tribes around Nankai City fled, Ma Han also ran away, and the Hai tribe lost a lot of people from the civilian department, but there was nothing they could do.
The main body of the Sea Tribe in Nankai City fled to Leishen City, and many small tribes also moved there. The remaining small tribes were all poor, and the grassland people could not grab anything, so they resolutely rushed to Haifan City.
There are really a lot of people on the grassland. Ma Yue stands on the city wall, and all the donkeys are silent.
The grassland people who had dismounted from their donkeys were no longer a threat. The grassland people were able to capture Poseidon City because the Sea Tribe there was too small. Currently, there were nearly 20,000 people in Haifan City, and more than 10,000 men, women, old and weak who had taken up arms.
The people of the grassland are fearless and brave. In order to survive, the people of Haifan City resolutely threw themselves into the cause of defending the city.
With the water bugs leading the defense, Ma Yue wasn't worried. Hundreds of young and strong regular soldiers from the Sea Tribe stood ready, armed with double-ringed pottery jars and slingshots. Xia Wu personally led them. If the grassland cultivators attempted to attack, they would test the effectiveness of the golden juice.
"There are quite a few casualties."
"Yes, although the range of the grassland people's bows and arrows is not far, they are quite accurate."
There was no way around it. Defending the city also meant suffering casualties. Many of the militiamen defending the city were inexperienced, and many became targets of the grassland people.
Although there are 2,000 cavalry brigades of the Sea Tribe waiting between Haifan City and Leishen City, it is meaningless to fight with the grassland people in cavalry.
"Charlatan, there is no point in the grassland people attacking the city like this?" Chun Wu was a little puzzled. No matter what, the grassland people were attacking a fortified city from above, and their losses would definitely be much greater than those of the sea tribe. If they continued to fight like this, how many grassland people would die.
"The other side of Haifan City is the sea, and there's no large army on the sea to attack us. It seems the grassland people want to deal with us alone. Their only recourse, I guess, is to wear us down first and then send out the divine cultivators."
"Could it be that they have more than one divine cultivator?"
"There is only one possibility. However, ordinary spiritual cultivators will be of no use even if they rush to Shanghai Fan City. We cannot withstand the large number of people on the city walls. Could it be that the martial king spiritual cultivators of the grassland people are too numerous to count?" Ma Yue did not underestimate the martial kings in the world, but martial kings were not cabbages.
As for the martial artist-level cultivators, their attack range and power are limited. If the soldiers have enough long-range weapons, it will not be difficult to deal with them. The Sea Tribe is also very experienced in this regard.
If only King Wu attacked, Ma Yue would at least be able to hold him back, so that it would not affect the overall situation of defending the city.
