Primitives are stunned

Chapter 47 Preparations before the war
An unsuccessful sneak attack caused one member of the clan to be injured in battle.But because of the panic, the number of people who were scalded by the soup reached five.

The position of Wangcun has been exposed. The patriarch said that the people of Liucun must take revenge. If they suffer a loss this time, they will definitely send a large army to recover the situation.Moreover, it was the first time that the ironware was exposed to the rest of the village. With the greed of the head of Village Liu, he wanted to control this magical weapon no matter what.

After counting, the food in the clan is sufficient, not to mention the meat of the giant bear, just the fish caught during this period is enough for the clan to eat for a long time.After discussion between Wang Hao and the patriarch.The work of the clansmen has been adjusted once.

The weapons in the family are counted.

One eight-ox crossbow and three pure iron crossbows.

There are 25 black iron swords, basically all adult strong men have one.

There are forty red sandalwood strong bows. After testing, a total of 75 people in the clan can draw strong bows, including 46 women and children.

The newly made feather arrows filled an entire thatched hut, which was enough for the next training of the clansmen and the battle that would start at an unknown time.

Twenty axes, when necessary, these axes will also be the weapons of the clansmen.

There are also plenty of short swords, wooden spears and stone axes.

If you look at the ratio of the weapons used by the clansmen, the current clansmen are basically armed to the teeth.

Wang Hao plans to make another [-] strong bows in the next three days, and strive for everyone in the clan who can draw a strong bow, regardless of gender.

Marching in the wilderness is not the same as on Earth, because there are often unexpected situations, so the team will go very slowly.According to the estimation of the patriarch, it will take at least four days for Liu Niao and the others to return to the village and dispatch troops to attack the village after supplying food.

And these four days, no matter men or women, old or young, the generals in the clan were all arranged by Wang Hao in a unified way, making preparations for the defense of the village.

On the sandy beach beside the big river, ten grass figurines made of thatched grass were neatly placed there.The people in the clan who could draw the bow and arrow were divided into two teams with 30 people in each team.In the morning, the first brigade practiced archery by the river, and in the afternoon, it was replaced by the second brigade.

The remaining 15 people are tribesmen like Wang Hao and Wang Hu who are already accurate in their arrow skills and don't need to practice more.

Children in Dahuang are very precocious, even children who are just ten years old can do many things.Several children replaced Wang Ba's work and took turns adding firewood to the brick kiln.Wang Hao promised them that after this war, everyone can get a smaller bow and arrow.

After the people practiced their bows and arrows, they had to use their sore arms to cut wood in the forest.

There is a big river to the north of the village, so there is no need to worry about the enemy attacking from that direction.But there is a forest to the east, and plains to the west and south. If the enemy comes, there is no danger in these directions.

Since there is no danger, let's make it artificially.

The fronts of the thick logs were sharpened, and then they were tied with tough vines to form a triangular fence, and then placed in three rows on the side facing the forest.This kind of thing is called rejecting horses on earth, but it is also very good for rejecting people.If the enemy wanted to attack from the forest side, they would definitely be slowed down by the three consecutive refusals.

At a distance of less than [-] meters, the clansmen can leisurely use bows and arrows to teach them how to behave.

After experimenting, Wang Hu and his 100 tribesmen ran a distance of about 25 meters on the Great Wilderness.After mental calculation, Wang Hao estimated that they shared [-] seconds.If you run this far alone, it only takes ten seconds.

But when Wang Hu and his people ran from the forest towards the village stopped by Juma, it took them a full 5 minutes before the last one of them reached the village.This is still the case when no one is harassing with bows and arrows.

To the west of the village, the thatch, which is as tall as half a person, has been cut out for 300 meters.The thatch was not cut at the root, but about [-] centimeters of grass stems were left on the ground.These grass stalks are just enough to cover people's feet, but they will not affect the vision of people in the village.

Among these grass stalks, there are densely inserted some arrow woods with sharpened heads.The arrow wood was inserted fifty centimeters deep into the ground, and only the sharp arrowheads that had been sharpened and then baked with fire emerged from the ground.

Because of the traps made of arrow wood, all the pregnant women in the village had blisters on their hands in the past few days.It wasn't cutting the arrows that caused the bloody hands, but inserting the arrows one by one into the ground fifty centimeters deep.

People in the Great Wilderness don't wear shoes no matter in spring, summer or autumn and winter. Wang Hao believes that if people from Liu village attack from this side, it will be impossible for them to get in before they have cleared a feasible path.

He tried it himself, and if he wanted to walk from the densely packed arrows to the village without being injured, it would take at least 15 minutes, and this was when he was concentrating on looking at his feet without being disturbed in the slightest.

Everyone in the clan could imagine that if people from Liu Village attacked from this side, they would become the best targets.And it's the kind of archery target that has no ability to dodge.

And in the south of the village, under a canopy, there are five eight-ox crossbows.

There are only three pure iron crossbow bolts, but Wang Hao found a substitute, that is iron wood.

Ironwood is the hardest and heaviest wood in the Great Wilderness. In the past, if the clansmen wanted a weapon made of ironwood, they often needed to polish it for a week.But when the food is not enough, which tribe can spare the extra manpower to make weapons instead of running for food for a week.

Now there are axes and planes, and there is enough food. The iron trees were felled in the sweat of the people, and then four people fought them back to the village, and they were made into crossbows day and night.

After testing, this kind of crossbow is not as stable as the pure iron crossbow produced by the system. The irregular protrusions on the iron wood will cause the arrow shaft to vibrate violently during high-speed shooting.It’s okay within 400 meters, the arrow shaft will move straight in the direction of the target.However, once this distance is exceeded, the arrow shaft may spin or travel sideways.

In the first experiment, the crossbow arrow flew sideways after flying 300 meters, and as a result, nearly 40 meters of grass was leveled.

It's a pity that this situation is uncontrollable. Basically, out of ten test shots, this situation will only occur three or four times.Otherwise, it is also a good choice to use the eight-ox crossbow to mow the grass.

The first batch of bricks and pots have already left the kiln.The bricks were stacked into two stacks and placed there.After careful consideration, Wang Hao decided that the first batch of bricks would be used to make warehouses.

Not only the storage of salt and bacon, but the most important thing is the storage of the eight oxen crossbow.Because the eight-ox crossbow is made of pure wood, and the bowstring is systematically synthesized with animal fur, it is not suitable for moisture.

According to the system's instructions, if the eight-ox crossbow produced by the system is properly maintained, it will have a service life of three years.

If it is not maintained properly and it is exposed to a few rains, it may be scrapped after three months of use.

The eight-ox crossbow is the most powerful cold weapon that the current secondary system can produce.It is also the only reliance that the tribesmen can compete with the advanced creatures on the Great Wilderness. Such an important thing cannot be kept under the awning all the time.

After the first batch of bricks comes out of the kiln, the cave must be cooled for a day before people can go in and get the bricks. For the sake of simplicity, Wang Hao and the others dug the simplest single-entry kiln that can only burn one batch of bricks at a time, not the kind that can Three-entry kiln with circular firing.

In the afternoon of the third day, the brick kiln started firing again, but this time what was fired was not bricks or pottery, but limestone brought back from the mountain across the river by the tribe on simple rafts.

When there was no cement, lime mortar was the only way to build a brick house firmly.And if you want to get a lot of lime, you can only rely on the tribesmen to burn it themselves.

Six rafts were made, and each raft can carry a dozen people. If the villagers of Liu Village attacked, these rafts would be the last retreat for the clansmen.

Every night after dinner, Wang Hao would lead the clansmen to rehearse assembly and retreat twice.A simple flag made of animal skins has never left Wang Hao's body since the second day.

During the fight, a person's voice could not be heard clearly at all. If you want to convey the message in the battle, you can only rely on the semaphore when the horn has not been made.
