It turned out that Bao Dazhuang's feeling was right. With the slight chill in the air, the few summer potatoes Cai Ji had planted near Haifan City hadn't matured yet, and when they were harvested, they were very small and not worth the money.
In other words, the Haifan City area is no longer suitable for growing two seasons of potatoes.
This is fine. The Nankai City area and the large area further south are large enough. The population of the Hai Tribe in Nankai City is not too large, so it is enough for development.
The cultivation of carrots was successful. Both the Xi'an branch and Nankai City are suitable for growing carrots.
The carrot yield per mu wasn't as terrifying as it had been in my past life. In my past, with adequate fertilizer and water, carrots could easily yield 4,000 to 5,000 kilograms, and some even yielded over 10,000 kilograms per mu. This was a primitive world, without chemical fertilizers or science and technology. How could the nutritional value of compost compare to that of chemical fertilizers?
Six or seven hundred pounds, seems already very tall
The situation in Nankai City is relatively better. After the spring plowing of potatoes, it is also possible to plant carrots, which is similar to the time for planting peanuts. It does not take up the main spring plowing time of Nankai City.
Nankai City is located on the mainland, which makes people feel more secure than Longlin City, which is isolated overseas.
Luo Bai and Huoshi found Ma Yue and suggested attacking the Guilin King Tribe in Longlin City. They had occupied the harvest of 200,000 to 300,000 acres of farmland of the Hai Tribe there for nothing. It would be troublesome if they didn't deal with the Guilin King Tribe!
"Charlatan, even if we don't really fight, we should at least harass the Ghost Forest King Tribe as much as possible. They want to take advantage of us for nothing. What's the point?" Luo Bai said.
"Swindler, the two major areas of our sea tribe have returned to the mainland. As for sea transportation, the requirements are not high. Our navy is not afraid of war. The soldiers not only transport by sea, but also hope to fight naval battles, especially that annoying Ghost Forest King tribe." Huoshi said.
Ma Yue roughly understood that the navy had been frustrated over the past few years. The Sea Tribe had not focused on developing the navy, and its status had been greatly reduced. It was not that the Sea Tribe's navy was incapable of fighting. Back then, in the great naval battle that broke out in the waters near Haifan City, the Sea Tribe had challenged the naval coalition of several major tribes alone, but both sides had suffered heavy losses.
In recent years, the Hai tribe has consumed too much due to migration and has not invested much in the navy.
At the very least, the navy still has two hundred ships.
"Then fight."
"Ah..." Luo Bai and Huoshi were stunned. The charlatan was so easy to talk to.
"What? Didn't you want to fight? The autumn harvest is over and we have nothing to do." Ma Yue knew that Luo Bai needed an outlet to vent his anger, and Huoshi's navy also needed an outlet to vent its anger, so... the Guilin King Tribe might be a good opponent.
Since the Sea Tribe rarely uses fire attacks, they have a lot of black oil in stock, which is enough to support the navy in battle. What's the problem? The Sea Tribe's navy uses a combination of rockets and double-ring pottery jar throwing lines. As long as there is enough black oil, what is there to worry about?
In naval warfare, is it all about attrition?
"Don't all go, Huoshi. Give Fang La a squadron to go to that black oil producing area. Fighting a naval battle will consume a lot of resources. We have to find a way to replenish them, right?"
"Okay! Give Fang La twenty ships." Huoshi also knew that naval battles were cruel, so leaving twenty ships to Fang La would leave some seeds for the sea tribe's navy.
"Don't go with the army. Shipping is too troublesome..."
"Are there Marines? You charlatan, actually, I can fight in naval battles. At least, I can command the landing and attack of the Marines, right?" Luo Bai was unwilling to accept it. Deep down, he was not a person who liked quietness.
"Okay! Then go ahead. The Marines are also the key to naval battles." Naval battles cannot be fought by all sailors. Archery and double-ring pottery slings require manpower, and the Marines are a good role.
"I won't participate. You two will discuss how to fight. At sea, Huoshi has the final say. If it comes to landing and harassing, Luo Bai has the final say. Go and prepare. No matter how we fight, we must return before the spring plowing, and leave as many people as possible."
"God stick, don't worry!"
The war machine of Nankai City has started to move. It is not just about sea transportation, but also about fighting naval battles. A large number of marines need to be organized to participate in the war.
Ma Yue asked Chun Wu Hong Ling Yu to deliver a letter and ask Shuichong to come over.
Luo Bai is still a warmonger at heart. Do you expect him to quietly reclaim the city? Is that even possible? Ma Yue can't rest easy without a great general to reclaim Nankai City.
Fang La's fleet set off first, but the black oil producing area is very far away.
The Sea Tribe's initiative to attack Dragon Scale City was quite unexpected by the Ghost Forest King Tribe. The fact that the Sea Tribe had actually approached the shores of Dragon Scale City, seeking a naval battle, was even more surprising to the Ghost Forest King Tribe. Traditionally, the Sea Tribe didn't like naval battles.
However, the navy of the Sea Tribe has arrived at the doorstep, and the navy of the Ghost Forest King Tribe has no choice but to fight.
Is the Ghost Forest King Tribe's navy capable? It's not impossible. However, in recent years, the Ghost Forest King Tribe has also been involved in many conflicts between larger tribes, and the loss of its ships has been significant.
The Ghost Forest King's tribe gathered about two hundred ships, and just like that, a large-scale naval battle broke out on the coast of Longlin City.
The double-ring pottery jar throwing rope is no longer a secret. In many wars, many naval members of the Sea Tribe were captured by other tribes. Therefore, in the naval battle, the Ghost Forest King Tribe also used the double-ring pottery jar throwing rope tactics.
In theory, both sides have similar numbers of ships and similar firepower.
In a naval battle like this, luck plays a huge role.
The fierce naval battle lasted for a day and a night, and finally the navy of the Sea Tribe won.
Why? Aren't they all pretty much the same?
This is related to the temperament of the tribal leader. The Guilin King tribe is too concerned about conspiracies. In terms of the basic combat effectiveness of the soldiers, whether it is the army, cavalry or navy, combat quality and combat willpower, the Guilin King tribe seems to be naturally at a disadvantage.
The resilience of the Sea Tribe's navy ultimately determined the victory of this naval battle.
After such a long naval battle, you still want to run away. At least, the angry soldiers of the Sea Tribe will not agree to it. If you run, I will chase you until... you surrender.
Just how brutal was this naval battle? The Sea Tribe had fewer than seventy ships left, and fewer than fifty captured ships from the Ghost Forest King Tribe. The rest were practically on fire, some already sunk, some nearly on the verge of sinking. This was war.
At least the Sea Tribe’s navy won and had the opportunity to rescue their own soldiers who fell into the water, thus recovering some losses.
In this battle, the navy of the Guilin King tribe was completely destroyed.
Luo Bai sent an envoy into Longlin City. Your Guilin King Tribe harvested the grain of our Hai Tribe in Longlin City. You must spit it all out. You also robbed the 3,000 large livestock we left in Longlin City... Otherwise, it's not over yet.
After the naval battle, the Sea Tribe will continue to transport troops to land and fight on land until the final victory is determined. In other words, it is not so easy to take advantage of the Sea Tribe.
How can we compensate for all the food we have eaten?
Besides, given the nature of the Ghost Forest King Tribe, within two days, the Ghost Forest King Tribe abandoned Dragon Scale City and fled deep into the East China Sea Island.
