Wu Qi's reconnaissance team kept sending back the latest news. On the Niupi tribe's side, large tribes were constantly merging into the Niupi tribe.
The Hai Tribe's training already had a foundation, and it was gradually taking shape. Damn it! Just defending is wishful thinking. War is both a loss and an opportunity for growth. Failure to capture large numbers of prisoners and seize vast quantities of supplies would be an injustice to this brutal war.
On a dark night, a combat team of more than 40 people from the Sea Tribe disappeared into the night, along with a group of wildebeests.
Another day, another fighting team of more than 40 people and a group of wildebeests disappeared into the night.
Defense? Do we need strong men? Tsk!
The first and third chiefs were gone, leaving only the two priests and the second chief in the tribe. The two priests and the second chief were a little panicked. Although it was Ma Yue's personal order, the war was imminent, and nearly ninety warriors had gone out. Could these remaining warriors hold the fort?
"Don't worry, we are the defending side. We have the wall to protect us and we are in a high position. A seven or eight-year-old child can throw farther than their soldiers." Ma Yue said. Even a thinner woman could kill people with the stones she threw.
That's the advantage of defense.
There are many enemies? What's the use of chicken feathers? Ma Yue saw that the war in primitive society was chaotic. No matter how many people there were, they were just a mob.
Following the last news sent back by the reconnaissance team, the five-part coalition army set out from the Niupi tribe in a mighty force.
At Ma Yue's command, the salt-boiling team of the Hai tribe stopped going out and waited quietly for the enemy to come.
The remaining, relatively precious women, children, wildebeests, and sheep were driven into the inner city. If a fight broke out, it would be disastrous for everyone involved. Furthermore, animals are afraid of being startled. Most of the Sea Tribe moved to the outer city. Ma Yue decided to simply defend against the enemy from the outer city.
In the Hai tribe, except for the pregnant women who could not participate in the battle and dozens of children of different sizes, there were more than 300 men, women, young and old who all joined the battle. What was there to be afraid of?
Ma Yue wasn't worried at all that the coalition would adopt a siege-without-attack strategy, starving the trapped sea tribe to death? Your coalition will first have to consume a lot of food, and you are the ones who can't afford it first.
The coalition forces really couldn't afford to waste time. In those days, food was scarce. The coalition had the advantage of 600 strong men, so a quick victory was the best option.
On each side was a long impact log, with flammable animal hides at the front, and well-prepared warriors also carried torches...
Another two-pronged attack? Haha! Come on.
Even if you break through the first layer of fence on the outer wall, there is a retaining wall ditch several meters wide in the middle. How can you break through the second wall?
The coalition forces attacked from the north and south...
Soldiers of the coalition forces kept falling on the way to charge. The flying stones and flying spears of the Sea Tribe began to have an attack effect at a distance of twenty meters. The closer they rushed, the better the effect of the flying stones and flying spears.
The offensive and defensive battles were brutal. From time to time, people from the Sea Tribe were hit by the coalition forces' long-range weapons, and casualties were inevitable.
The impact logs finally broke through the first timber wall of the outer wall, and the morale of the coalition forces was greatly boosted...
There's a retaining wall and a ditch, so what if you can still rush up? Even though the outer wall is just the first timber wall, you can still rush up, right?
Casualties, and more casualties. The people of the Sea Tribe were constantly hit and fell off their defensive platforms, and the coalition forces that had to attack from above suffered even more devastating losses.
Torches thrown against the timber wall were useless; without the fuel of oil, a basin of water extinguished the sparks. The thickest impact logs were sent flying by the Sea Tribe's clay pots, the precious cooking oil inside igniting the protective wooden shields and impact logs, preventing them from even approaching the outer city's final timber wall.
The able-bodied men of each tribe were precious. They attacked fiercely, wave after wave, and even after two attacks, they still couldn't break through the last layer of the wood wall.
The attacking party always suffers. This kind of attack at all costs was carried out by a group of untrained rabble. They fought from the afternoon until nightfall. After two attacks, the coalition forces suffered heavy casualties.
Many of the five allied forces began to retreat. If casualties continued like this, the large tribes would soon be reduced to small tribes.
Collect food. When night falls, you have to eat, right?
In the temporary camp of the five-part allied forces, the wounded kept wailing.
At least it’s time to eat, and I’ll have food to eat, which will help me regain some courage.
Unfortunately, the food had not yet been cooked or grilled, and the rumbling sound was approaching the temporary camps on both sides of the five-part allied forces.
What the hell? Groups of wildebeest are charging, and there are strong men on the backs of the wildebeests.
Haha... Ma Yue on the defensive platform behind the wall laughed loudly. "Damn five-army coalition, let me show you the power of the most advanced wildebeest cavalry charge of this era."
Adult wildebeests of this era were quite large, weighing around 700 kilograms and carrying a considerable speed. Their size and impact force barely required the warriors on their backs to wield their weapons. The temporary camp of the five allied armies was ripped apart by the wildebeests. Many were struck or trampled by them...
Leader Hai and the third leader Wu Qi, each night attack team brought thirty strong wildebeests. With so many cavalrymen, the impact force was terrifying.
The five allied armies suffered countless casualties and were completely routed... No! They were just a mob, a complete and unstoppable defeat.
The gate of the Sea Tribe opened, and teams of Sea Tribe warriors rushed out to capture prisoners.
"Yu, thank you so much this time." There were quite a few observation groups around the battle. Surprisingly, the leaders of the two major tribes, Yu and Lan, were also there, watching the battle together.
