In any case, with over 10,000 infantrymen from the Sea Tribe, the Ghost Forest King Tribe couldn't just ignore them, right? To ensure they had enough troops to attack this invading enemy, the Ghost Forest King Tribe began to continuously attack the surrounding tribes.
The tribal structure of this era was like this: a strong main tribe was the leader, and a number of weaker tribes were dependent on it. When fighting, the dependent small tribes would also provide support with "men and guns".
The chief witch of the Guilin King tribe wants to use the troops of the surrounding tribes to attack the camp of the Hai tribe and consume the strength of the Hai tribe. To put it bluntly, he wants to recruit a bunch of cannon fodder.
"Crackle..." Ma Yue was not stupid. To this group of pure mob, the slingshot became a real slingshot. The early principle of the slingshot was to throw stones from a distance.
Why? Stones are free. There are plenty of rocks of this size near the seaside cliffs. With the help of a hurling line, the rocks can be thrown far and with great power.
The Qingzhuang, recruited from the Ghost Forest King's tribe, were already lacking training and were thrown into disarray by the dense barrage of stones, sending them fleeing in all directions. The stones hurt, and if they hit you in the wrong places, it could be fatal.
The intention of using cannon fodder to consume the war supplies of the Sea Tribe will not work.
The navy of the Ghost Forest King tribe wanted to dock and attack the camp of the Sea Tribe. After all, the catapults on the ships had a long range.
Unfortunately, the balloon team led by the Sea Tribe took off. The wind along the coast was not strong, and the balloon team was powerful enough to drop a lot of fire pots, but only hit and ignited a few ships. The other ships were scared away from the coast and dared not approach the coast.
This time when Ma Yue led his troops to land, in addition to basic personal weapons, the most common item he brought was kerosene. Even the pottery jars had to be made on the spot. It can be seen that in order to save transportation capacity, he brought enough black oil.
After a month of tangle like sticky candy, the third group of Shuichong people landed at another port.
It was simply unrealistic for a navy of this era to blockade all seaports. Three thousand cavalrymen, in a hurry, managed to land successfully.
Riding on large livestock, wielding long spears and copper axes, Shuichong led the three thousand cavalrymen into the heart of the Guilin King Tribe. They killed anyone they saw and robbed whatever they needed. No matter whether you were a member of the Guilin King Tribe or not, if you stayed here, you were dependent on the Guilin King Tribe, and you were an accomplice of the Guilin King Tribe, and they would be killed.
After all, the Ghost Forest King tribe wasn't a grassland people, so where did they get so many large livestock? The smaller tribes they depended on didn't have any either. Facing the onslaught of 3,000 cavalry, they couldn't outrun the cavalry, and a trail of corpses was inevitable.
Outside of Otter City, wherever there was arable land, there were Water Bug Cavalry. To ensure the basic physical strength of the large livestock, the seedlings of the Ghost Forest King Tribe's crops were eaten by the Water Bug Cavalry's large livestock. This stuff is very nutritious.
Shuichong's cavalry fought on and off for half a month, and finally a large group of cavalry from the Guilin King tribe appeared.
"The cavalry of the Sea Tribe is invincible!" Three thousand cavalrymen faced the five thousand cavalrymen of the Guilin King Tribe. Shuichong took the lead in shouting slogans and launched a head-on charge face to face.
In war, what matters is momentum. Of course, you can't win without fighting hard.
It's hard to say whether the Sea Tribe's cavalry is invincible, but they're not necessarily much worse than the Grassland cavalry. The Grassland cavalry's greatest strength—in other words, their superiority over the Sea Tribe's cavalry—is... their sheer numbers! That's right! Grasslanders, old and young, women, and all can ride horses and charge into battle.
If the numbers were really equal, the well-trained Sea Tribe cavalry would not necessarily be defeated by the Grassland cavalry.
The grassland cavalry is indeed good at shooting and riding, but if it comes to a head-on cavalry charge, even if the grassland people do not have more cavalry involved, they will be afraid of the cavalry of the sea tribe.
The propaganda department of the Hai Tribe has this slogan: "Hai Tribe Cavalry, invincible!"
The three thousand cavalrymen, carrying this tremendous momentum, rushed towards the five thousand cavalrymen of the Guilin King's tribe.
"Little Wu, we can't wait any longer! Charge!" In a cavalry duel, if your mount doesn't charge, you're nothing but a useless cavalryman. Cavalry relies on the immense speed and impact of your mount's charge. If you don't charge quickly, you'll be the weaker party.
The little witch who leads the troops of the Ghost Forest King tribe is arrogant. Is he a cultivator of gods?
However, when faced with the terrifying impact of 3,000 cavalrymen, this guy... got scared!
We have said that no matter how powerful a cultivator is, when faced with a large army, especially a terrifying cavalry army, no matter how high your cultivation level is, it will be useless.
"Yes, General Wu, you lead the troops to meet the enemy!"
"Little Wu!" Damn it, you're the commander-in-chief. Even though I'm only the deputy commander, I have no authority in this cavalry brigade. Even the Ghost Forest King Tribe has its flaws. The prestige of the spiritual cultivators in the team is too high.
You, Little Wu, have great prestige. You only need to raise your arms and call...
What Xiao Wu was thinking was that with such a huge army, his strength as a spiritual cultivator would be useless, and it was not worth it to fight with a bunch of peasants!
The little witch was forced to raise his sword when he was looked at by the deputy general...
It was too late. The little witch hesitated for a moment. Although the cavalry of the Ghost Forest King's tribe also began to charge, their mounts had not yet gained speed when they collided with the rapidly charging cavalry of the Sea Tribe.
In the cavalry confrontation, the Guilin King tribe was completely at a disadvantage, which was a bit like cutting tofu with a quick knife.
Logically speaking, with the Tengu Tribe as their evil neighbor on this East China Sea Island, the Guilin King Tribe should have had a lot of experience in fighting against large groups of cavalry. It would not be the case that the 5,000 Guilin King Tribe cavalry were defeated by a single charge from the 3,000 Sea Tribe cavalry.
As the saying goes, war isn't necessarily a game of who has more troops. During this expedition to the Ghost Forest King's tribe, the first thing Ma Yue emphasized to his generals was momentum.
