Summer farming in the warm zone had just passed, and the fleet that went to trade black oil returned to Haifan City for the sixth time, looking very miserable.
"Tell me, which tribe are you at war with?" Ma Yue smiled and said he really didn't want to fight. However, he was beaten again and he never fought back. The Hai tribe was recognized as a soft persimmon. How could he survive?
The last time they fought against the Alliance army, at least the navy suffered heavy losses on both sides; the tens of thousands of grassland people's troops were also defeated by the Sea Tribe. Generally speaking, the Sea Tribe was not afraid.
The fundamental factor for a large tribe to gain a foothold is its morale. If the morale is lost, the cohesion of the tribe will also be lost.
"It was the Guilin King tribe. We ran into them on our way back. Charlatan, I guess it was the navy of the Guilin King tribe that deliberately followed our fleet. Perhaps, the place where they can exchange for black oil has been found by them." The captain of the squadron was called Fang La, a name given by Ma Yue, who was also a former instructor.
A new naval commander who has experienced many naval battles and was promoted.
"I understand. Your fleet is probably being tracked by the spiritual cultivators from the Guilin King tribe using spirit boats. Fang La, does their fleet intend to destroy your squadron?" Ma Yue asked.
"Yes! Fortunately, we carried a lot of black oil on our return trip, and our firepower is stronger than theirs. But, idiot, they really have a lot of ships, seventy or eighty. It seems that their sailing technology is also quite good, and their speed is about the same as ours. Our fleet will only return to these seven ships, and the rest..."
Fang La, with a mournful face, recounted his miserable experience of being besieged by the Guilin King tribe's ships, which were several times larger in number.
"Go down and rest. When our ships come back, we'll go get revenge." Damn it! What's wrong with the Ghost Forest King Tribe? They're always competing with our Sea Tribe.
"Chun Wu, mobilize the troops. Distribute them north and south, including those in Lei Shen City. Leave only one thousand cavalrymen in each division. The rest, send them to Haifan City!"
"Ah!" Chun Wu was shocked. Shuichong and the three priests were also confused. What was the charlatan trying to do? Did he not want to live anymore?
"You charlatan, are we going to fight a land war?" Shuichong asked.
"We can't afford a naval battle. If we do, we probably won't have any ships left. Transport troops, land on Donghai Island, and head straight for Dongshui Bay..."
How many soldiers and livestock does the Hai Tribe have?
Even though Wu Qi had taken away 6,000 cavalrymen, the Hai tribe mobilized 20,000 troops from three distribution points to prepare for the expedition.
The sea tribe's ships were gradually returning, and there were now nearly sixty of them. They had accumulated a lot of wealth over the past few years. Sixty ships was no small number.
Spear teams, sword and axe brigades, all equipped with metal weapons, the copper axes being sharp weapons on the battlefield. Damn Ghost Forest King Tribe, I don't believe I can't defeat you. This time, Ma Yue was determined, almost risking half of his wealth.
What to do when all the troops are gone? Run away. The Xi'an branch is Ma Yue's last refuge.
"Third Priest, Yueshui, you stay in Haifan City. If our army is destroyed, you just run away and go to the Xi'an branch. Understand?" There are not many troops left in Haifan City.
For sea transportation, the first thing to do is to transport troops. Once the infantry are ashore, the army has a foothold. Only then can large livestock be transported.
In the vast ocean, it was impossible for them to encounter the navy of the Ghost Forest King Tribe by chance. If they did, it would be bad luck for the Sea Tribe, and there would be no way to prevent their failure.
You definitely can't not fight back. They've bullied you like this, and you don't fight back? What do your people think of you, a charlatan?
King Wu! Humph! King Wu, are you so awesome? Facing a vast army, what do you, the King Wu of the Ghost Forest Tribe, have to do? If you piss me off, I'll dare to fight you, King Wu, on the battlefield.
"Shuichong, I will lead the army to land first. You will lead the third landing force and bring large livestock. Let's change the landing location, here... Tiedan, you will lead the fourth cavalry to land here... Zhuozi, you will lead the fifth cavalry here..." Ma Yue decided to lead the troops. To be honest, when the grassland army was about to capture Haifan City, Ma Yue was about to run away. Fortunately, Hai Rui came back and saved the Hai tribe once.
From that day on, Ma Yue endured it for several years and was still upset.
Ma Yue knew this uneasy feeling needed an outlet. War, only bloody war. Even if the chances of losing were extremely high, Ma Yue would fight. If he didn't fight this battle, his inner anger wouldn't settle, and Ma Yue knew his cultivation would sooner or later suffer.
A practitioner's state of mind is very important. If one is always feeling depressed and aggrieved, it is not in line with his or her personality and it is easy to develop mental demons.
Ma Yue was the first to board the ship with a large number of land forces. Needless to say, Ma Yue's actions boosted the morale of the sea tribe's soldiers. If the leading charlatan wasn't a coward, wouldn't this tribe have hope?
Ma Yue was lucky. There were no accidents during the sea transportation and he landed at a relatively secluded beach.
Because they had to bring food and weapons and equipment, the first batch of infantrymen who landed was only about 5,000.
It's not a small amount, but how much is a large amount? The landing infantry set up camp to protect the landing site.
The shipping time from Haifan City to Donghai Island was also very long. Ma Yue did not care and continued to wait for the next batch of troops.
With the second batch of troops landing on Donghai Island, Ma Yue's army had exceeded 12,000.
This so-called secret landing point is not far from the core city of Otter City of the Ghost Forest King Tribe. After the Sea Tribe had been stationed there for such a long time, the people of the Ghost Forest King Tribe finally discovered the Sea Tribe's army.
The Sea Tribe came to attack, and the Guilin King Tribe dispatched a large army, heading straight for the Sea Tribe's landing point No. 1.
The two-batch troop transport plan was perfect. With 12,000 infantrymen, Ma Yue felt confident.
bring it on!
"Guan Dao, Zhou Qiang, your infantry battalions will hold the left and right wings."
"Zhang San, Li Si, hold the center. Hai Dao, bring your troops, fully armed with double-ringed pottery jar throwing ropes. Follow me and listen to my orders. I'm going to fight today."
"Xia Wu, you lead the balloon team. You take the opportunity to attack."
Zhang San, Li Si, Guan Dao, and Zhou Qiang were all instructors who had been promoted after many battles. The only ones who could do it were you. Even Hai Dao was promoted from a scout to a commander.
The armies of both sides were on full alert. It was obvious that the army of King Guilin's tribe was larger in number and had a large number of cavalry.
What's the matter?
"Entire army, advance slowly!" Ma Yue gave an order, and tens of thousands of troops began to move.
In the past, the Hai Tribe's infantry would wait for the enemy to tire themselves out. This time, Ma Yue was determined to fight to the death.
Fight! Military formation is one thing, but morale is most important. Ma Yue's fierce command: "Hold on, the Hai tribe army!" "I'm attacking you, so what? I'm outnumbered, so what? We're simply stronger than you."
The army of the Hai tribe has long been famous, especially for defeating tens of thousands of grassland people's troops, and they are very proud.
The Hai Tribe's army had a comprehensive training system, and even the militia was becoming increasingly skilled. This had been maintained for years, so even when the entire army advanced, the formation remained organized. Ma Yue's orders were to advance slowly, maintaining the best possible formation.
