Chapter 386, Li Tianqi and the Heavenly Wind Alliance (Part I) (Third Update)
The predecessor of the Skywind Alliance was the Skywind Tribe, which was founded by a player named Li Tianqi.
As a lord player, Li Tianqi descended near a small lake, with an endless savannah to the north and endless sand to the south.
Descending on such a desolate place, Li Tianqi didn't know whether to be happy or sad.
Happily, there were herds of cattle, sheep and wild horses in the grasslands, and countless schools of fish in the lakes, so he didn't need to worry about food in a short time, and after catching wild horses, he was able to quickly assemble a cavalry team.
Sadly, it is difficult to find strategic resources such as copper and iron, and the sand in the south has always been a hidden danger, and one day, he will be submerged in yellow sand, which makes him very insecure.
Because the cost of starting over is very large, Li Tianqi can only come and go.
After having a strong sense of crisis, Li Tianqi immediately began an active self-rescue action.
He first arranged for people to investigate the surrounding situation, and then tried to collect as many trees and stones as he could, and made various tools from these trees and stones.
Li Tianqi led his people to catch cattle, sheep and horses in the game every day, and after the game, he desperately learned all kinds of knowledge of survival in the wild and the skills of making various simple tools.
In this way, his Tianfeng tribe gradually grew.
As Li Tianqi captured and tamed the first wild horse, cavalry began to appear in the Tianfeng tribe.
Although there were no suitable weapons at the time, the horses themselves were the best weapons, and their ramming, biting, and kicking were very lethal to humans.
Li Tianqi used the collision ability of the war horse to successfully capture some small tribes around him.
With the size of the cavalry exceeding 100 cavalry, Li Tianqi finally took the steps of foreign aggression.
With the cavalry's super high mobility ability, Li Tianqi can fight if he can beat it, and run away if he can't beat it, and the enemy has no way to take them at all.
Although he didn't have any weapons at hand, Li Tianqi invented a unique cavalry tactic.
When he led the cavalry to charge, he would blindfold the war horse, and then use the impact of the war horse to impact the enemy's formation, and he also gave this method of warfare a nice name, called pool tactics.
The pool tactics were inspired by the charge of the armored cavalry.
Although his cavalry was light cavalry, the enemy was also unequipped for defense at first.
Therefore, when a war horse weighing more than 300 kilograms and a knight carrying hundreds of pounds launched a high-speed charge, it was difficult to resist it with only flesh and blood.
As the so-called trick is eaten all over the world, when the majority of player lords have no good weapons and equipment, Li Tianqi is really proud for a while.
However, because the light cavalry's pool tactics had great limitations, although Li Tianqi won a lot of battles, he fought very few battles of annihilation.
To charge with light cavalry, it is first necessary to have open terrain, and in woodlands and mountains, let alone charge, it is difficult for war horses to run at high speeds.
In the early stages of the game, many players have large areas of primeval forest in their territory.
Whenever he encounters this kind of terrain, Li Tianqi will have a headache.
Because once the enemy could not defeat him, he would immediately burrow into the woods, and some people even saw that it was cavalry, and fled directly into the woods without even fighting.
As the old saying goes, you can't enter the forest.
Faced with this situation, Li Tianqi could only look at Lin Xing and sigh, because he would never dare to chase in with the cavalry.
Because of the constraints of these conditions, most of the lords defeated by Li Tianqi were Terran lords, and the lords who were completely annihilated by him were all Terran lords.
Next, with the continuous discovery of open-pit copper and iron mines, Li Tianqi's pool tactics were finally eliminated.
In the face of the enemy's formed infantry phalanx and strong castles, Li Tianqi's invasion gained less and less, and even sometimes he could not make ends meet.
In an invasion campaign, Li Tianqi's light cavalry corps was plotted by the enemy using tripping ropes and tripping pits, and suffered heavy losses, and he himself was almost killed by the enemy.
After so many years of invasion, although Li Tianqi has grabbed a lot of people and resources, he has not grabbed many really good things, and there are only two natural wonders.
However, it was these two natural wonders that became an important guarantee for his rise.
The two natural wonders that Li Tianqi grabbed were Victoria Lake.
Victoria Lake may seem like a food-rich lake to others, but to Li Tianqi, they are priceless.
Because with them, the barren sandy land slowly turns into an oasis of abundant products.
Li Tianqi placed the two Victoria Lakes on the Horqin Sandy Land, one on the left and the other on the right, and directly artificially created a huge oasis on the Horqin Sandy Land, where no grass grows.
Nomads live on water and grass, and they rarely settle in one place, but the emergence of the Horqin Oasis gradually changed this situation.
Li Tianqi led the people out of the lake to reclaim farmland, planted trees around the lake, and after several years of hard work, a paradise on earth appeared in the center of the Horqin Sandy Land.
As more and more herdsmen came to settle here, the strength of the Tianfeng tribe increased little by little, and Li Tianqi's influence on the prairie also increased.
Although the Tianfeng tribe is getting stronger every day, Li Tianqi has always had a pain in his heart, that is, his tribe has been stuck in the Bronze Age.
To advance from the Bronze Age to the Feudal Age, you need to have five cities in your territory, a total population of 200,000 tribes, and more than 20,000 soldiers.
In addition to the city, the other conditions of the Tianfeng tribe have already been met, but it is the city that has stuck Li Tianqi to death.
Although there is no shortage of sand in the Horqin Sands, the weathered sand is not suitable for building houses, and if Li Tianqi wants to build a city on the oasis, he must bring in stones and sand from outside the sand.
Transporting enough materials to build a city from the outside is a big project in modern times, let alone in ancient times when the transportation capacity was seriously backward, so Li Tianqi could only think about it in his heart, and he didn't dare to put it into practice at all.
As for building a city on the steppe outside the Horqin Sands, although it is much easier than building a city on an oasis, it is not an easy task.
And the most important thing is that without the oasis, even if his city is built, it will have no meaning.
Because of the limited resources near the city, there are not many people to feed at all, and once a foreign enemy appears, trapping the city is a dead end.
In fact, the ideal situation is that Li Tianqi can snatch a Black Yao Holy Mountain, so that he can build a few cities if he wants.
It's a pity that the player lords who own the Black Shine Holy Mountain are all draped in hard turtle shells.
As soon as Li Tianqi came, they hid in the fortified city, and the light cavalry under Li Tianqi had no way to deal with them.
They could only plunder outside the city, and then leave unwillingly.
