Chapter 229: Remembering the River Tribe (Ask for Subscription)
For the next period of time, God seemed to know the worries of the heavens, and the weather was surprisingly good, but what was strange was that the sun was high, and the snow and ice did not melt.
Wang Tian had been living in the south before crossing over, and the land of Shonan in winter was still a season that could freeze dogs to death, but as long as there was sunshine, the ice and snow would definitely recede after two days.
But now the scene outside the tribe has turned his perception upside down, and the 10 consecutive days of sunshine have not only not caused the snow to melt in the slightest, but have been frozen even more porcelain.
The cold in the north is dry cold, while the south is frost-free wind cold, and the cold in the north is only manifested in the skin, and you only need to wrap your body tightly, and you can still walk in the snow without losing heat.
The cooling in the south is deep in the bone marrow, and the pervasive cold wind is useless as long as you are in it, no matter how much you wear, obviously the weather in the north is more suitable for a southerner, so the wild horses who have just joined the Tianlong tribe naturally have to train in such good weather.
Saddles, stirrups, and horseshoes (copper) have ready-made references, long before the wild horse herd was obtained, Wang Tian had people make them.
The most difficult thing to make is the saddle, the other two are a mold thing, but with a full set of bronze carpentry tools, it is not a hassle to make, and of course the leather used to wrap the saddle is not so particular.
The padding under the cushion is also a variety of everything, since the arrival of the wild horses, the little Fu Ma really went back to his old job, and became a teaching prop for children to practice riding.
Wang Tian saw it and would not stop it, after all, they will be the main combat force of the tribe in the future, and it is very necessary to study now, and Xiao Fuma's character is docile, and he is not afraid of throwing these children down.
The scene of children laughing reminds Wang Tian of the scene when he learned to ride a bicycle in his childhood, and the same group of children around a bicycle, in the chirping quarrel, decide who comes first and who comes last......
With the exception of Wang Tian and Lightning, the rest of the tribe's warriors and horses were all trained under the leadership of the leader, starting with basic equestrianism and queues, and then horse fighting.
This included spear and halberd fighting, and bow and arrow training naturally included crossbows, javelin throwing, and slings that could be fired with one hand on horseback.
Although the crossbow is a standard weapon, not everyone can do it accurately, and some warriors who are good at using slings have not given up this skill even after being transferred to horseback.
Wang Tian's equestrianism is already very proficient, so he did not participate in these trainings, at this moment he is brushing the lightning, after the past few days of green material conditioning, the lightning's brocade-like coat color reappeared.
Wang Tian carefully combed its mane, cutting off the excess, and the hairs that had been stuck together by dirt, grass juice and other things were all covered by the foam of soap.
A pig_ brush brushed along the mane of lightning over and over again, Wang Tian used blue
The water scoop made of copper, scooping up a scoop of warm water and rinsing it continuously, the color of the water was black at first, and it was not until the fifth time that the color of the water returned to normal.
Bathing horses in such a cold winter is a very difficult task, because the need to keep warm is carried out in the sauna with charcoal fires, and such a pleasure is currently just a lightning horse.
As for the hygiene of the other horses, Wang Tian decided to carry out the spring after the arrival of spring, the current weather is too cold, if you use cold water directly, it will not take a few minutes, and every horse will have to freeze.
And if you take a sauna, it seems to be a little too luxurious, after all, charcoal burning is not easy, more important is the matter of time, in the past, the winter of the primitive era was the most leisurely time for human beings, but today's Tianlong tribe is still a hot scene.
People and horses have a run-in period, as the most free and easy group on the grassland, the wild horse herd in the middle temperate zone has almost no natural enemies, and the wild horse herd that is used to freedom is now bending over for five buckets of rice, that is, it has just merged with humans, and Wang Tian will naturally not treat it harshly. 【! #ABC ¥¥ Free to read】
Usually, in addition to the delicious and delicious green fodder and fine salt waiting, when there is no training, a series of horse harness such as chewing saddle will also be unloaded, in case these free and casual guys are not adaptable, and one turns around and runs away and never comes back, then Wang Tian has no way at all.
As the lightning of the head horse, this little bit of enjoyment and privilege is naturally qualified, after all, Wang Tian still needs him to win over the horse's heart.
But the herd of horses is not as good as the sheep department, just serving an uncle well and not being able to count, the genes of freedom are naturally imprinted in the body of the horse, so the warriors of the Tianlong tribe are particularly attentive to these uncles.
The horses are fed and groomed, and the knights are assigned to do it themselves, and they usually stay with the horses except for sleeping.
Under Wang Tian's careful care, Lightning's expression at the moment was very enjoyable, and Wang Tian was also sweating profusely, and the knight took care of his mount, which was a rule set by Wang Tian, and of course he had to abide by it first.
The work of combing the hair and cleaning was finally completed, looking at the new lightning in front of him, Wang Tian was full of a sense of achievement, he took out two pieces of linen, carefully wiped the water droplets on the lightning body, after two times of repeated wiping of the linen, the linen cloth is extremely absorbent and the temperature in the sauna room, the lightning body became refreshing.
A cheerful neighing sounded, and lightning caught his long horse face and rubbed against Wang Tian's cheeks, thanking him, and Wang Tian stroked its flowing mane and smiled.
"You're going to go out for a run first? It's too hot here, and if you don't exercise, you won't be able to stand the hot and cold! Go see your clan's training, supervise me, and I'll take a bath too! ”
The lightning hissed in response to him, and the moment the door opened, the cold air made Wang Tian shiver, and he quickly jumped into the hot water of the big clay jar to soak, and when the lightning left, he actually knew to bring the door to him with his mouth.
Wang Tian, who was soaking in the hot water at the moment, felt comfortable for a while, he didn't know how the sheep tribe and Youniu's family distributed the food in the end, but these two tribes were not good at stubble, no matter how they were distributed, the gap between the two sides had already been generated, and there was absolutely no possibility of shaking hands and making peace.
It's best for the two tribes to fight over this, and it's best for each other to consume each other! Wang Tian was not worried about them fighting, if it could really be like this, it was exactly what he wanted to see.
With the fight, they need a mediator, the strength of the two tribes is not very different, as long as they are not all dizzy, the possibility of a full-scale war is very small.
In this way, their own tribe can easily move between them, the food shortage of the sheep tribe is because they have been cut off by themselves, and the same is true of the Niu clan, but the river tribe, which is the most lacking in food, has not arrived for a long time, this situation makes Wang Tian's heart a little uneasy.
Could it be that the River tribe just glanced at the bow and arrow, and when they went back, they imitated it and solved the problem of food? This should be impossible, not to mention the degree of imitation of their bows and arrows, the mastery of their use alone cannot be achieved overnight.
The use of bows and arrows looks simple, it seems that as long as the arrows are made, you can shoot, but that quasi-head must be very touching, Wang Tian thought about the scene when his tribe first used it, unless the people of the River tribe are geniuses who use bows and arrows, it is absolutely impossible.
At most, they are similar to the Niu clan using bows and arrows, they have no source of food, and the food they exchanged from their own tribe should be almost exhausted, do they arrogantly think that with those rough bows and arrows, they dare to challenge Asian elephants?
Shouldn't it be the annihilation of the whole army, the rest of the tribe's old and young......
Wang Tian felt that if the people of the River tribe did not come for another two days, his tribe should send someone to take a look, blindly waiting was not Wang Tian's style, at this stage, the River tribe was the most ideal merger object, and more importantly, they occupied important copper resources.
The tribe has now exhausted all the copper, and the materials used to experiment with the scales of the mountain chain mail are now being used repeatedly, and the first thing next year is not spring ploughing, but to continue mining and mining.
Take advantage of the convenience of the monsoon to transport more ore back...... Wait, easy to transport? After the beginning of spring, it is convenient to transport ore from the origin of copper and tin, and no matter how convenient it is, it is also against the current, where is it convenient now.
The river covered in ice and snow is like a highway at the moment, and there are more convenient transportation conditions than this season?! It seems that winter is the season of transportation.
With this flat river high-speed "road", the horse race is not too happy, and with the convenient means of transportation such as the sled car, the efficiency of transporting ore at this time will be N times that of usual.
Wang Tian had already decided that no matter whether the River tribe came in a few days or not, the Tianlong tribe had to go to collect copper and tin ore, and after the preliminary refining into copper and tin ingots, they would then pull it into the tribe.
The River tribe not only holds the location of the copper ore resources, but even the location of the tin mine is also known to them
The strategic resource of this era, a river tribe that has not been annexed by the Celestial Dragon Tribe, has always been an unstable factor.
Once these resources are mastered by other tribes, the impact on the Tianlong tribe is not just a simple matter of imitating bows and arrows, and trying every means to hold the resources of copper and tin ore is the greatest strategic significance of the Tianlong tribe now.
The problem is that there are no sleds in the tribe at all, and they have to be made on an improvised basis, but at the current manufacturing rate, it takes a day or two to make a few sleighs......
