The number of the coalition forces of the Guiluowang Tribe and the Hongzang Tribe is also limited. The 8,000 troops of the Hai Tribe have already fought not far from the Stone City. Why are there no troops of the Guiluowang Tribe and the Hongzang Tribe to encircle and suppress them?
The army of the Tengu tribe also greatly tied down the main forces of the Guiluowang tribe and the Hongzang tribe. It is estimated that there are not many troops of the Guiluowang tribe and the Hongzang tribe in this copper mine stone city.
The four major tribes have had mixed contacts twice in the past year. Otherwise, this time, joining forces with the Sea Tribe to attack Lingguo Island is the best time.
Then just wait! Luo Bai's army began to build a temporary camp. At least there should be a timber wall, right? Digging a ditch is hard, so just build two timber walls. At least, it will be difficult for the enemy to attack, right?
The army of the Sea Tribe stayed there for less than two days, and the army of the Tengu Tribe had not arrived yet, but the reinforcements of the Sea Tribe had arrived.
"General Luo Bai, what's going on?" This sudden change was beyond the expectations of the observers of the Tengu tribe. This part was not mentioned in advance.
"What else could it be? We're worried that your Tengu tribe might play tricks. What's the matter? Our Hai tribe is willing to send more troops, but your Tengu tribe is unwilling? If you don't want to, our cavalry will just go back." Luo Bai said.
"No, no, we in the Tengu tribe welcome the reinforcements from the Hai tribe. We welcome them very much." The observers from the Tengu tribe were of course very happy. With the addition of these three thousand cavalry, the strength of the coalition forces was increased, which was of course good.
"This area has a lot of flat land, so the cavalry can still run freely," Luo Bai said. "With these 3,000 cavalry, our camp will be safer." Luo Bai looked at the observers from the Tengu tribe again. "Does your Tengu army really not need our reinforcements?"
"General Luo Bai, I believe our Tengu Tribe's army can overcome these hardships." Sometimes, when fighting a coalition, it comes down to face. The Tengu Tribe's observers were also worried that the Sea Tribe underestimated the Tengu Tribe's combat capabilities.
To be honest, without the donkeys, the infantry combat effectiveness of the grassland people is really not that good.
The ships of the Sea Tribe brought three thousand cavalrymen from the Sun City to the temporary seaport of Lingguo Island. They also brought back the wounded soldiers of Luo Bai's army and sent them directly to the Sea God City.
Following the 3,000 cavalry came a balloon team. Having gained a lot of advantages, the Sea Tribe no longer sought sponsorship from the Tengu Tribe for the black oil the balloon team needed.
The next day, the balloon team launched two balloons, heading straight for the copper mine stone city. What for? First, to scout out the city's situation.
How can we detect something without a telescope? We can only take a general look.
The balloon scouts returned, and Robbie was surprised by what they had found. The city's defenses were strong, seemingly few in number. "Did they all run away? And they'd say they were all going to stop the Tengu Tribe's army?"
Luo Bai waved the command flag and asked, "Let's try fighting."
The situation seemed to be going really smoothly. In less than half an hour, the vanguard troops broke into the Copper Mine Stone City and encountered very little resistance.
To be safe, Luo Bai's army did not enter the city. The 3,000 infantrymen who entered the city searched the copper mine and stone city, and were not ambushed or attacked by fire.
There is actually nothing left in the city, let alone copper ore, there is not even much food.
The Balloon Team's scouts set out, some heading straight for the area where the Tengu Tribe were supposedly concentrated, while others headed for Lingyin City. The Lingyin City area was the largest area of arable land developed by the Hai Tribe back then. Perhaps the combined forces of the Guiluowang Tribe and the Hongzang Tribe had a large garrison there?
Balloon scouts were scattered in all directions, and Luo Bai felt something was amiss. His army's advance was a little too smooth. The Tengu Tribe's army hadn't arrived for so long, so something must have gone wrong.
The leader of the balloon team was Dick. He got impatient and threw a burning kerosene can. This spark detonated a large army hidden somewhere in the forest.
"General Luo, that team has at least tens of thousands of people. I just discovered it by chance. The trees in the forest are too tall and too lush. It is difficult for us to detect the hidden army when we are on the balloon." Dick came back with a very bad look on his face. The Sea Tribe might have been plotted against again.
"Perhaps, there are more than ten thousand enemies hiding in the dark." Luo Bai muttered.
"General, if we are really surrounded, can we still go back?" Dick was worried.
"Don't worry, the charlatan won't send out these 3,000 extra cavalry for no reason."
"The General's intention..."
"Wait, let's defend this copper mine stone city first. With this stone city as our foundation, no matter how many enemies there are, it won't be easy for them to break in." There are tens of thousands of people in total. With so many people defending the city, how many lives will be lost if more people attack?
There is no way that this newly occupied copper mine stone city could have the basis for the Red Feather Message. Birds won't fly to unfamiliar places, right?
"Could it be that the Tengu tribe is setting a trap for us again?"
"It's hard to say. Let's wait until the balloon scouts over there come back. That seaport is probably blocked by the enemy, so it will be difficult to return. Now that the enemy has been discovered, they will soon surround us. Everyone, be prepared to defend the city."
We can no longer keep the temporary camp outside the city. Let's gather in the city. There is strength in numbers and we can hold out for a while longer.
"General, we don't have much food."
"Let's defend the city again. When the time is right, we can only break out."
The enemy was discovered, and sure enough, a large number of troops emerged from the forest, coming from all directions, at least 40,000 people. Where did so many people come from?
The most likely possibility is that the four major tribes will join forces again.
This is a mining area. The vast area around it has been developed by the coalition forces of the Guiluowang Tribe and the Hongzang Tribe for so many years and has become a dry plain. The balloon team of the Hai Tribe wants to launch a fire attack, but they have no basis for it.
…
"Great wizard, why did it become like this? You didn't say this at the beginning." Goji, the chief of the Tengu tribe, looked at the great wizard Luo Yang in surprise.
"This is inevitable. In this area, the strongest is ultimately the Sea Tribe. Uniting the weak to attack the strong is the way to survive. The Sea Tribe is in a dilemma, and this may be the best opportunity." Luo Yang was also thinking about the future of the Tengu Tribe. Alliances are extremely fragile, and interests are permanent.
"Captain, as long as we defeat the tens of thousands of Sea Tribe troops entering Spirit Fruit Island, Dragon Scale City has less than 10,000 people, so it will be much easier to defeat them. After defeating so many Sea Tribe troops, only the Sun City troops will remain. The Sea Tribe's forces are too dispersed, and this is what the Sea Tribe's charlatans are most worried about..."
"What the great witch said makes sense." Since it is in line with the interests of the Tengu tribe, as the chief, Goji berry certainly has no objection.
As for betrayal, it is commonplace for the grassland people who have been attacking and killing each other for years.
"There are tens of thousands of people from the Sea Tribe in the Stone City of Copper Mine. How can they be so easy to defeat? This time, our Tengu Tribe will not be the first to take action no matter what." Goji said confidently.
"Why are we still fighting? Luo Bai's men didn't bring much food with them. They're starving. They're going to starve to death, haha!" Luo Yang smiled with wrinkles on his face.
