"Don't worry, take them one at a time." Ma Yue understood Wu Qi's feelings and was also worried about the Sea Tribe. "First, if the enemy army arrives, will the copper mines in Xingxing City need to be defended?"
"Of course... wait!" Wu Qi seemed to understand. "There's no need for that. At most, it will delay some copper ore production. It won't have much impact on our Sea Tribe in the short term."
"What about the Xi'an branch?" Ma Yue continued to ask.
"The charlatan didn't even build a stone city here, so it's obvious that he doesn't want to defend it." Shuichong said.
"I understand. After all, there is only one Sun City left to defend. Even if there are only 9,000 militiamen defending it, no matter how many troops the enemy has, they may not be able to take it down." Wu Qi said.
"Yes, we still have more than 10,000 regular and deputy soldiers, that is, more than 10,000 mobile cavalry. There are 9,000 militia guarding inside and more than 10,000 cavalry outside. If we still can't defend the Sun City, it would be too..." Shuichong said, "It depends on how many troops the enemy can send." Shuichong didn't say too much.
"The most crucial thing is these more than 10,000 cavalrymen. They are highly mobile and will not be able to gain a foothold no matter whether the enemy wants to mine or farm. In this case, it will be useless even if the enemy has a large number of troops. What can they eat? They cannot afford it." Ma Yue said.
"I understand. I will try my best to send the food to Sun City for storage." The second priest finally spoke. The food cannot be taken away by the enemy.
"Well, let's do it as soon as possible, so as not to be caught off guard by the enemy." Ma Yue was not sure which direction the enemy would come from. Maybe they would emerge from the western forest.
"I will gather the militia of the Xi'an branch as soon as possible and take them to Sun City under the pretext of uniting and training." Shuichong knew that this was his duty.
"In this case, there is no point in stationing troops in Star City. I will have them withdraw to Sun City later." Wu Qi said.
Ma Yue was very pleased. It was worry-free to talk to these experienced old guys.
"Charlatan... Forget it, I am the commander-in-chief of Sun City." Wu Qi wanted to say something, but stopped in frustration. He wanted to lead more than 10,000 cavalrymen to fight guerrilla warfare outside. That would be exciting and much more interesting than defending the city.
"Shuichong, you should also go to Sun City to defend the city." Ma Yue's decision surprised the three people present.
"What's wrong? Don't be so stubborn. You're already old, why are you showing off?" Ma Yue said angrily. "Wu Xiaodong, Huojiandao, Batu and Buhe, Zhang Long, Zhao Hu, there are so many people here, what are you two worried about?"
"You charlatan, where are the tens of thousands of cavalry? There must be someone to dispatch and coordinate them." Shuichong has a strong sense of responsibility. If everyone fights on their own, isn't that nonsense?
"What? Am I not as good as you?"
"Ah? Divine charlatan, you're not going back to Donghai Island?"
"What? You don't believe Luo Bai?" Ma Yue's words were irritating, but no one could refute them. Yes, Luo Bai was in Longlin City.
The situation on Donghai Island was tense, with several major tribes fighting fiercely and the situation threatening to change dramatically at any moment. At this moment, the charlatan suddenly came back. Could it be that the charlatan was so sure that the enemy would take advantage of the opportunity to launch a surprise attack on Sun City?
The chances are slim, and all these arrangements are just precautions at best.
"Shuichong, isn't it great for you to command and lead thousands of cavalry to attack the army of the Ghost Forest King Tribe?"
"Uh..." Shuichong rolled his eyes. Honestly, it was quite satisfying. As a general, who doesn't like to charge into battle? Who the hell always wants to defend the city? "I understand. The charlatan wants to give Luo Bai a chance."
"Yes, that old guy's temper is very bad. He missed several major battles and is very prickly. He can't wait for me to leave Longlin City as soon as possible, haha!" Ma Yue said with a smile.
"Perhaps, that's true, haha!" Wu Qi laughed. For a commander in battle, missing a major battle is always a regret. Luo Bai's luck had always been bad. When the Hai Tribe crossed the sea to fight the Guilin King Tribe, Shuichong and Tiedan both went to fight, but Luo Bai still couldn't catch up. As a fellow commander, Wu Qi understood Luo Bai very well.
"Okay, I'm just kidding. Second Priest, you should follow the militia of the Xi'an branch to Sun City first. If anything happens, Shuichong here is at least more experienced than you in escaping." Ma Yue said. Such a large Xi'an branch, without a military leader, only has a Second Priest left. Isn't that nonsense?
"Alright!" The Second Priest was helpless. He had to obey the overall situation. In reality, Shuichong was more suitable to stay in the Xi'an branch to cover the rear. If he went to Sun City and the enemy really attacked, could he at least bring the civilian department to better support the defense of the city?
"Goddammit, Sun City can't be filled solely with militia, right?" Shuichong asked. Sun City couldn't just be filled with militia; it also needed civilians. In wartime, the civilians in the city would also be a powerful auxiliary defensive force. Of course, the ratio of regular and secondary soldiers was also up for debate.
"You should discuss the allocation of troops and generals with Wu Qi." When it comes to details, Ma Yue is not as good as Shuichong and Wu Qi.
It didn't matter that all the militia had gone to Sun City. The Xi'an branch still had regular soldiers and deputy soldiers, so they wouldn't be hindered in maintaining order. If the enemy really came, these were highly mobile cavalry.
Even Tiedan and Zhuozhuo were stuffed into Sun City. They were not needed to lead troops to fight unless it was absolutely necessary.
Ma Yue said so, but in reality, the city was left to Wu Qi and the Second Priest, while the large cavalry outside the city was actually handed over to Shuichong. As for Ma Yue, it was not certain that he would stay in the Sun City area.
The situation is ever-changing, and guesses are just guesses. What the enemy will do in the end is unknown. Generally speaking, the Sea Tribe is passive.
No matter what, basically everything that can be thought of has been arranged. Ma Yue has no idea whether there will be any unexpected events.
Ma Yue returned to Donghai Island. It was very lively here. It would be nice to be a spectator nearby.
The war has been going on for more than a month, and the casualties in such a large-scale melee are huge.
The Guilin King Tribe finally turned against them at the critical moment. The Tengu Tribe joined forces with the outside forces to catch the Guiluo King Tribe and the Hongzang Tribe off guard and routed them. It seemed that the massive melee between the four major tribes was about to end.
The remnants of the Guiluo and Hongzang tribes had fled on their ships. Ma Yue was still observing and waiting to see how the remaining Guilin and Tiangou tribes would get along.
Red Feather reported that the Guiluo King's army had retreated deep into the East China Sea Island, leaving only a small group of troops in the saltwater lake. What were they doing? Cooking salt.
It's somewhat similar to the Sea Tribe's previous cooperation with the Tengu Tribe. Observers report that the battle between the Ghost Forest King Tribe and the Tengu Tribe resulted in numerous casualties. Theoretically, they won't be joining forces to attack the Sea Tribe anytime soon.
So the question is, so many troops came to join the war, and the Guiluo King tribe did it just for the benefit of a small saltwater lake? Why is Ma Yue so unconvinced?
The Sea Tribe's cavalry reconnaissance team continued to conduct outlying reconnaissance, trying to avoid being caught off guard by the Ghost Forest King Tribe or the Tengu Tribe. On this complex East Sea Island, there was no time to relax.
