Chapter 63: The Tooth Must Die
The city is not big, only 0.1 square kilometer of land, but Tang Ge found that just such a little land, after all the facilities needed at present were completed, they were not used up! There is still a lot of land left for future development! After all, the population of Banpo dolphin is too small, there are only 100 people in the close relatives, and if it is divided into households, there are only 20 or 30 households.
"It's progressing much faster than you expected." Tang Ge stood on the Holy Flame Square and said beautifully.
After the construction of the sample house was completed, it was time to build the walls and weir pond before the heavy snowfall. Even if the walls were not built, all the houses would be enough for the people to live here.
The construction of the city wall is a big project, and the massive stone alone requires a lot of energy to transport and polish, but fortunately, the city wall is not very important in all construction, Tang Ge can put this project to the end, and then spend a year or two to do it slowly.
Nowadays, it is imperative to lay the foundations of the city wall before the heavy snowfall, so that there will be a reference, and even if the snow falls heavily, you can find the location of the city wall, clear the snow, and then proceed with the construction.
It's not that Tang Gezhou peels the skin, but he feels that if he doesn't do anything for a whole winter, it is simply a waste of life, and it is not conducive to his health.
After the foundation of the city wall was filled, Tang Ge stopped the construction of the city, and all the personnel went up to the monolith mountain and began to build a weir pond. Winter belongs to the dry season, it is a good time to build water conservancy, as long as the weir pond is repaired this winter, in the spring of the next year, the winter snow melts, and then a few heavy rains, layer after layer of terrace-like weir ponds are filled with water, and the water conservancy reserve of Banpo dolphin is completely completed.
Monolith Mountain: The whole mountain is almost a whole rock. Although there are many ditches and streams on the mountain, it is very difficult to build a dam on the rock foundation that is tight and watertight. Tang Ge decided, taking advantage of the fact that the first snow of early winter had just fallen, the weather was not too cold, and the river was not frozen, first concentrate all manpower and material resources to build a weir pond, and wait until the mountains began to freeze, and these damp boulders by the river would inevitably have a layer on them, and I am afraid that there would be no people standing at that time, and then the people would be withdrawn to build the city wall.
"It's time-saving, it's reasonable, it's perfect!" Tang Ge, who was wandering around the construction site, thought of it with a smile. It wasn't even more than three days before bad news came from the bottom of the mountain: the stump fangs and its mammoths attacked the city station, and even destroyed a lot of buildings.
When Tang Ge hurriedly led the people back to the camp, the mammoth herd had already retreated. The originally neat camp and the newly built houses in the city were destroyed by the mammoths.
"How much have you lost?" Standing among the ruins, Tang Ge only felt that his brain was beating and his blood vessels were about to burst.
"The sample room is all down, and the dormitory has been pushed clean by them, but fortunately, the large building over there is fine. The wooden rails and box carts were also destroyed, and the cattle were so frightened that many escaped, and the elephants were the most damaged, and the herd ran away and six were killed, and the scattered animals were sent to find them. One of the clansmen replied through gritted teeth. Nowadays, this city is not only the ideal of Tang Ge, but also the hard work of the people. The destruction caused by the mammoth herd was so great that they were not furious.
"What about farmland? Is there any damage? Tang Ge forced his temperament and asked patiently. Farmland is the hope of the tribe's future, and houses can be rebuilt if they collapse, but there is nothing they can do to remedy the destruction of farmland.
"The farmland has also been trampled to the point of not being ......" When he said this, the hearts of the clansmen were dripping blood.
"It's fine, just stampede...... Not a big problem. Tang Ge gritted his teeth and said.
Today, only wheat, beans and rape are planted in the fields, and all of them only have a little sprout, and even if they are trampled, as long as they do not hurt the roots, they will not affect their growth in the coming year.
"Notice, all projects are stopped, go back to the tribe and recruit the cavalry!" Tang Ge clenched his fists and said viciously: "Let's stop construction!" Let's hunt mammoths!! ”
The mammoth herd is the most unprovoked existence in this wasteland. According to the legends of the old tribes in the wasteland, mammoths have also appeared on the menus of the natives of the wasteland, and some tribes have even hunted mammoths as a tradition to prove their bravery, but when Stump Fang became the leader of the mammoth herd, in the past few decades, the mammoth has gradually become the most unprovoked existence in the wasteland.
The stump is a murderous elephant, and many people even think it is a mad elephant, it is scheming, cruel and tyrannical. Since it became the leader of the elephant herd, no other species of elephant has appeared in the wasteland, and it has integrated all the mammoths in the wasteland to form a huge mammoth colony of more than two hundred heads. Led by the Fangs, the mammoth herd is elusive, migrating from the wilderness to the wasteland at a different time of year each year, and if a hunter appears around them, they will definitely hunt them down. Clever and cunning, the Broken Tooth is vengeful, and it can even set traps for hunters! When Tang Ge heard the story of Remnant Fang, he would even give birth to the illusion that Remnant Tooth was a cunning human and not a mammoth.
Fortunately, although the stump is brutal, it never leads its own group close to human settlements, so as long as you don't provoke them and avoid them, the natives and mammoths can be safe.
It stands to reason that the stump is very cunning and usually does not appear in human settlements, and the reason why the mammoth herd came to the new city of Banpo Dolphin to wreak havoc this time is most likely to come to the elephant herd on the construction site. But no matter what the reason, as long as you offend Banpo Dolphin, you can't be left!
The more excited he was, the faster Tang Ge's mind turned, and in the blink of an eye, a hunting plan for the remnant teeth was brewing in his mind.
The north wind is howling, and the grass is all over the sky. Winter in the wasteland is as bleak as ever.
A few beast slaves braved the cold wind, drove several elephants, and walked along the foot of a mountain. Xu felt the danger, and several elephants became panicked and hesitated, but under the spur of the beast slaves, the elephants who were accustomed to obedience finally stubbornly walked through the soil that exuded terrifying information.
The beast slaves were equally frightened, and drove the elephants as fast as they could, and at last, having passed the foot of the mountain safely, they crossed a small plain and came to a ravine, and went straight in.
Not long after the beast slave drove the elephant away, a mammoth with a broken tooth came out of the dense forest on the mountain, circled around the base of the mountain, and roared angrily. With its roar, groups of mammoths like small mountains heard the sound and gathered around the mammoth with a broken tooth.
This mammoth with a broken tooth is a remnant tooth. After discovering that humans and other elephants were on his turf, the stump became extremely irritable, and he felt that his majesty had been challenged, and the elephant herd was threatened, so these intruders must die!
The safety of the elephant herd is above all else, this is the only belief that the remnants of the tooth have little wisdom. So, the mammoths, led by the stump fangs, followed the trail of the beast slaves. But when they reached the outskirts of the canyon, the elephants began to hesitate with a long roar of the stump fangs.
It's a lot like a trap. The remnant tooth hesitated at the mouth of the canyon. This kind of terrain is the most taboo place for the remnant fang, and in its memory, when it was a baby elephant, its people had suffered a lot in the same terrain. So, Tooth felt that since the intruders had left, it didn't seem to matter to spare them once.
On the top of the mountain next to the canyon, Tang Ge was ambushed here with the tribesmen with a foul smell.
The scene of the mammoth herd moving is spectacular, especially when they can observe a huge herd of elephants from the top of the mountain, like a small mountain, roaming the wasteland unscrupulously, and almost all the places they pass are even more shocking.
"Why don't you leave?" Seeing that the elephant herd stopped at the mouth of the canyon and had no intention of entering the canyon, Tang Ge couldn't help but ask the big stone beside him in a low voice.
"This guy is very cunning, he must have sensed that something was wrong." Big Stone stared at the stump tooth and said seriously.
"What then? Hurry up and think of a way, I don't want the cavalry to risk it. Tang Ge was a little anxious.
If the mammoth herd is not set, then you can only rely on the high mobility of the cavalry team, slowly looking for opportunities to kill the remnant fangs, as long as the remnant fangs are dead, it doesn't matter if the remaining mammoths are numerous, without the cunning remnant fangs to lead, they are just moving mountains of meat for the natives in the wasteland.
"Do you know why no one dares to provoke the elephants?" Da Shi asked Tang Ge with a smile.
"Why?" Tang Ge was quite curious, he was curious why at this time, Da Shi was still talking nonsense to him.
"Because it's grudgeful!" Big Stone squinted his eyes and said meaningfully: "As long as it is a person who has hurt the elephant herd, the stump will remember, and no matter what time it is, it will not forget revenge." That's why no one in the wasteland provokes them. ”
"You mean......" Tang Ge's heart moved, he looked at the big stone and said, "You mean, the remnant tooth remembers you?" ”
Big Stone nodded and said excitedly: "Of course it remembers!" And it's not as clear as it gets! When you were born, we of six almost killed it! ”
"No way!" Tang Ge said categorically: "This is too dangerous! ”
Dashi shook his head and said with a firm face: "Don't worry! I'm not going to joke with my life. It's not once or twice when dealing with the remnant teeth, so it's best for me to do it! ”
"That's not going to work either!" Tang Ge vetoed it vigorously: "Let's think of another way." ”
