Chapter Ninety-Nine: Rearmament for War
When the Daqi tribe was in full swing and preparing for war, the monarch of the Sanshu Kingdom was praying to the sky with his ministers, and the scene was luxurious, except that the number of people was not as good as that of the Xia Dynasty, and the others were all better.
There are several tables of various tributes, if Yang Hao is here, he will definitely scold these people for being a loser, such a good thing is not eaten by people, and those clay tire sculptures are simply outrageous.
Like him Yang Hao, after the winter solstice sacrifice, those sacrifices were directly concocted and sacrificed to his five internal organs temple.
In the cold winter, many things could not be done, women could spin and weave, and men, except for hunters who went out to hunt, the vast majority of them, were preparing for war.
The war has not really begun, and no one dares to guarantee that he will definitely win, not to mention that this is a war in which the enemy is strong with a weak enemy, if he Yang Hao fails, the Sanshu Kingdom will definitely not let him go, and he is still in the name of a slave liberator, and he will definitely be hit by all forces.
The rolling stones and sassalwoods in the city, the large number of traps dug outside the city walls, and the terrain that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, it can be said that the small Qi City has been armed to the teeth.
Artisans worked overtime to produce weapons and equipment, and due to the lack of metal, most of the spears were inferior products of stone spears and carbonized spear tips.
Bundles of spears were stored in dry storehouses, and the whole tribe prepared for war in the near future.
Even young children sensed the tense atmosphere of the tribe, imitating the appearance of soldiers and playing games similar to fighting on horseback.
Yang Hao is most concerned about the production progress of bows and arrows at the moment, and only when bows and arrows are delivered on time can all plans be carried out.
When the craftsmen who made bows and arrows saw Yang Hao coming, they all got up and wanted to pay a big salute, but Yang Hao hurriedly stopped: "You continue to be busy, don't pay attention to me!" ”
That is to say, but the supreme leader of the tribe personally came to inspect it, and it is impossible for the craftsman not to be nervous.
Yang Hao picked up the bow that had been made and tried it, and said in a deep voice: "Take an arrow!" ”
Soon, the guards found a feathered arrow from the craftsman and handed it to Yang Hao.
Yang Hao pulled the bow, felt the tension of the bow, took the feather arrow, and aimed at the dirt wall dozens of meters in front of him.
The arms suddenly exerted force, and a single bow was drawn into the shape of a full moon.
The fingers that clasped the bowstring suddenly let go, and only listened to the "Hum!" With a slight shudder, the feathered arrow shot out, forming a parabola in the air, breaking through the dirt and slamming diagonally into the wall.
"Good archery!"
Then there was a cheer.
Yang Hao looked back and saw that it was Ren Zhong, and said with a smile: "Let Shaojun see that you are smiling, my archery skills are not worth mentioning in front of you." ”
Ren Zhong said with a smile: "The leader of Qi disagrees, although this bow is not a high-grade bow, but it is not something that ordinary people can do if they want to be full, the leader of Qi pulls the bow and shoots arrows, in one go, which really makes a certain admirer, even in Dongyi, few people can do it." ”
When Yang Hao heard this, he secretly said in his heart: "Your brother Hao has also practiced, wait for one day to get a compound bow with a pulley, let you see what a hundred steps through Yang is." ”
"It's just a small technique, it's just a small technique! But Ren Shaojun really didn't disappoint him, this bow is definitely a good bow, but I don't know how much it has been completed now! ”
Ren Zhongdao: "Rest assured, Leader Qi, fifty bows and corresponding arrows will be prepared in a few days!" ”
Yang Hao said with a happy face: "Oh, in this way, the riding bow I want has also been made." ”
Speaking of this, Ren Zhong couldn't help but show admiration, and said: "The leader of Qi is really wise, the bow is not only small, but also very suitable for use on chariots, although the range is a little insufficient, but it is more labor-saving. ”
Ren Zhong's misunderstanding of the way to use the riding bow, Yang Hao didn't have the idea of correcting, and said in a deep voice: "Can you take me to see." ”
"Dare not obey your fate! Qi Chief, please! ”
Under the leadership of Ren Zhong, Yang Hao came to the place where the bows and arrows were stored, and looked at the bows hanging on the wooden frame, very satisfied.
"Leader Qi, please see, this is riding a bow."
Yang Hao was overjoyed when he saw the familiar recurve bow, and picked up one and looked at it carefully.
In Yang Hao's eyes, this bow is a little rough to make, but by the standards of this era, this is an extremely luxurious bow.
Although the main body of the bow body is made of bamboo, but the rest of the parts, tendons, horns, and other good materials are used, Yang Hao pulled the bowstring lightly, and exclaimed: "Good bow!" ”
Ren Zhong nodded and said: "It is indeed a good bow, if the bow body is made of mulberry wood, it will definitely be better, it will not be worse than a traditional bow!" ”
"This bow has geometry!"
Yang Hao asked.
"It's in a hurry, only ten sheets were made, and the materials needed for this bow are too extravagant, that's all."
Ren Zhongdao.
"Is it already ten? Very good, worthy of the good shooter! ”
Yang Hao was overjoyed.
With these cavalry bows, the hussars came into play.
The war is coming soon, and now that the riding bows have been done, Yang Hao naturally packed these riding bows and took them away and equipped the cavalry.
Although Yang Hao knew that it would take a long time to train a good archer, he didn't have that much time, so he could only use salvo shots to make up for the shortcomings of the archers' skills.
After being polite to Ren Zhong, Yang Hao left here with a bow and arrows and came to the barracks.
Before he approached the barracks, Yang Hao heard a loud shout of killing.
"Familiar feeling!"
Yang Hao couldn't help but smile.
"Meet the Chief!"
The soldiers standing guard in front of the camp gate saluted when they saw Yang Hao coming.
"Excuse me!"
"Leader, do you want to inform the platoon commander!"
"No need! Keep standing guard! ”
"Yes!"
When the soldier heard this, he stood upright with his spear in hand.
Seeing this, Yang Hao nodded secretly.
Judging from the two soldiers standing guard, the military training has begun to bear fruit, and at least on the surface, it has been freed from the worries of the rabble.
Entering the barracks, Yang Hao saw a phalanx, some of which were practicing tactical movements, and some were conducting confrontation drills.
"Loose! Look over there! ”
Blackskin whispered.
"What's wrong?"
Song was a little puzzled.
"Over there, it looks like the leader is coming!"
Black Skin squeezed his eyes at Tsumatsu.
Hearing this, Song turned his head to look over there, and sure enough, he saw Yang Hao's figure.
"Look at what! Keep practicing! ”
Hearing the roar of the Wu Commander, Song's heart trembled, and he quickly turned his head and stabbed the spear forward in a panic.
Roared: "Kill! ”
Xi looked over there, his face changed, and said, "Keep practicing!" ”
As he spoke, he tidied up his clothes, hurriedly ran towards Yang Hao, and saluted: "Captain of the third squad in a row, Xi!" Meet the Chief! ”
Yang Hao nodded and said, "It turned out to be Qu's soldiers!" Yes, I saw the drill just now, and it should be called elite. ”
