Chapter 43: Armor
After this incident, Yang Hao began to reflect on everything he had done.
In the end, he came to a result, that is, his steps are too big, and it is easy to pull the egg in this way, this time is a living example, if it is not a desperate fight, it is not as simple as pulling the egg.
Yang Hao decided to slow down his pace and establish a solid base before he could carry out long-term plans.
Now there are more than 300 people in the tribe, and the tribe of more than 300 people in this era, although it is not a prince, in a small area, it can be regarded as a good local force.
Yang Hao felt that only by converting all the resources of these 300 people into useful power for himself could he develop externally.
With an army size of less than fifty people, one person dies and one person is less, which is a loss that Yang Hao cannot bear.
After a few days, as the effects of the incident subsided, the tribe returned to its normal life.
Only this time, the Daqi tribe, whether it is a savage or a clansman, has all exerted all their strength and completed their own task very seriously.
The army trained from morning to night, and no one cried out that they were tired, and in the evening, the soldiers, who had been tortured for a day, did not even have the strength to carry out their favorite night sports, and after dinner, they returned to their tents and fell asleep.
Yang Hao did not participate in the training of the army, nor did he deal with the affairs of the tribe, but meditated alone.
The previous encounters exposed the inadequacies of the Great Qi tribe.
Recalling that battle, Yang Hao felt that his command was too substandard.
Of course, in addition to his poor command skills, what he cares about most is the issue of weapons and equipment.
Today's Great Qi army can only use the bronze short swords when they fled, as well as some rudimentary weapons snatched from the Fengxi tribe, and there are no means of long-range attacks.
This single troop configuration made him feel like he couldn't use it.
The current strength is good to deal with some very weak tribes, but when it comes to a slightly stronger one, it is completely insufficient.
Tribes of this size like the Yuan clan and the Fengxi tribe can only be regarded as a fart in this era, and they belong to those at the bottom.
Yang Hao, who realized this, was no longer proud of his previous consecutive victories, and became much calmer.
Yang Hao wrote all the information he could think of about the ancient army on the ground.
Infantry, cavalry, crossbowmen, scouts, chariots, auxiliaries.
In the position of the infantry, Yang Hao subdivided it again, sword and shield soldiers, spearmen, and slingers.
Looking at so many troops on the ground, Yang Haozhi felt that his head was bigger.
Perfecting these classes is not something that can be done overnight.
For example, the simplest infantry is extremely resourceful.
There were so many bronze weapons in total, and now the warriors had no armor and only a broken wooden shield as protection, and when facing bows and arrows, they could only be shot as live targets.
Yang Hao wants to change this passive situation, according to common sense, the best way to suppress long-range weapons is, of course, to suppress them with long-range weapons.
But he knew very well that making a good bow was not an easy task, and that making a bow was not as easy as getting a piece of wood and tying a rope.
can't be a bow and arrow, Yang Hao can only retreat to the next best thing, ready to make a fuss in terms of protection capabilities.
Don't even think about the fine armor, even if you use leather armor, you have more than enough strength to go, and finally Yang Hao got up and wanted to go, he could only refer to the Romance of the Three Kingdoms he had seen, Zhuge Liang's storyline of attacking the Southern Barbarian Meng Huo, in his impression, Meng Huo's army was wearing rattan armor, which caused a lot of trouble to the Shu army.
Cowhide is not easy to obtain, but vines are not a rare thing in this era.
In addition to the rattan armor, Yang Hao also has a backup option, that is, the bamboo armor.
Little Japan used to wear this thing to fight in ancient times.
Vines and bamboo are both extremely easy to obtain, but how to make them is a little difficult for Yang Hao.
There is no ready-made master's hand-in-hand guidance, and there is no Baidu before crossing, only a general direction, how to get started, and a lot of his brain cells are worried.
Scratching his hair irritably, "Paralyzed, I don't believe what people can make up thousands of years ago, and I, a person with an explosive IQ, won't be able to figure it out, so I don't believe it." ”
Yang Hao was ruthless, and he didn't continue to think about it, so he decided to make it directly, and he would always come up with a way to figure it out if he slowly explored.
Five or six prisoners of war were drawn from Yin's side and began to cut vines and bamboo around the tribe, and after a busy day, piling up the collected raw materials in a dry place.
To make rattan armor and bamboo armor, Yang Hao doesn't know whether it is better to use wet or dry, but there is one thing he still understands, if you want the armor to be stored for a long time, the step of immersion in oil must be essential, these are common sense things, Yang Hao naturally understands.
The problem of oil will be solved in the future, and there is not much armor needed at present, so it can only be replaced by animal oil or fish oil for the time being.
In the future, if conditions permit, Yang Hao will still prefer iron armor, which is a sharp weapon in the era of cold weapons.
In the next few days, everyone in the tribe of Daqi noticed that Yang Hao was fighting with the pair of rattan bamboos all day long, and some people wanted to help, but they were all driven away by Yang Hao.
In desperation, everyone can only continue to complete their tasks.
As time passed, the tribe changed its appearance under the labor of the prisoners of war, and the wooden walls were covered with mud and stones.
Although the wall is only about three meters high, it is extremely strong from the perspective of this era.
Without the help of siege equipment, if you want to attack from the bottom up, you can only fill it with human lives.
Yang Hao was very satisfied with the wall he designed, and at the same time as the wall was built, he asked Shaoyan to prepare a large number of equipment to defend the city.
Rolling stone sassal wood is naturally indispensable, after the golden juice dung water has a public toilet, the Daqi tribe is not lacking, if there is an enemy to attack, burn a pot and pour it down, the sour will definitely be pleasing to the eye.
While everyone was stepping up their efforts for the defense facilities of the tribe's station, Yang Hao finally made some progress on his side.
After nearly a week of tossing, Yang Hao finally figured out how to compile rattan.
However, the things compiled by Yang Hao are extremely ugly, not so much the armor, but the rough embryo of the earthen basket.
However, this has already made Yang Hao dare to say that he is satisfied, as long as he finds the right way, the rest is fine work, as long as he has patience and sufficient manpower, it is only a matter of time before he can make a rattan armor.
Yang Hao does not require this rattan armor to achieve the effect in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, as long as it can withstand the three slashes of the short sword, it is considered a qualified product.
