Chapter 022: Strong Archer
The humidity of the Great Wilderness is very heavy, especially when it is foggy. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoOnce it touches the fog, the patriarch's leg hurts terribly. Today was a foggy day, and after some persuasion, the patriarch decided to follow them out to have a look.
After eating in the morning, Wang Hao went through some 'prayers' in front of the new arrivals from Shicun and Gucun. Ten thick and lengthened rosewood bows appeared in front of everyone out of thin air. After listening to the fishing method guided by the ancestral god of the patriarch, and then looking at this kind of artifact that appeared out of thin air and could kill the enemy a hundred meters away, and finally looked at the twenty-two wounded who did not have a single wound and suppurated, so far, they no longer have the slightest doubt about the ancestral god in the mouth of Wang Village.
Finally, when the patriarch announced that they had the same black hair and the same black eyes, and that as long as they believed in the ancestral god, the light of the ancestral god would protect them in the same way, several women who had never cried after losing their husbands wept excitedly on the spot.
Recalling the appearance of the women kissing the bow and arrows and chanting 'Ancestral God bless', a word called the fanatic believer came to Wang Hao's mind. He also didn't know whether it was appropriate to transfer this deformed, imperfect theology to the Great Wilderness. If he could explain why he could make something out of thin air, he wouldn't have said anything theologically.
Shaking his head, he put these strange thoughts behind him, now is the time to hunt wolves.
The sun finally tore through the mist and lazily sprinkled it on people's bodies. The patriarch felt much more comfortable, and his legs didn't seem to hurt anymore when the bright sun shone on them.
How comfortable it would be to be able to sleep in such a comfortable sunshine. That's what an old wolf thought. As it thought, it opened its mouth wide and yawned.
A feathered arrow grazed its ear and flew away, and behind it, the mournful cry of a little wolf was heard. The reason why such an old wolf can still stay in the wolf pack is because it also has the identity of a nanny in the wolf pack, and when the wolf pack goes out hunting, the young wolf is specially taken care of by it and the rest of the old wolves.
Hearing the little wolf's scream, the old wolf hurriedly wanted to look back to see what was going on, but even if it tried its best, it couldn't twist its neck. I wanted to give a long warning whistle, but I had a wooden stick stuck in my mouth, and after trying hard for a long time, I could only make a sound of 'He, He'.
And in the grass a hundred meters away, Wang Hao frowned and said to Wang Zhu: "Wang Zhu, you are in a group of three, aiming at a wolf, why didn't you shoot an arrow when they shot it?" ā
Wang Zhu was a little unaccustomed to Wang Hao talking to him in this tone, and seeing that other people's eyes were focused on him, he was also a little scared, scratched his head and said, "I saw that my third uncle shot him, so I wanted to save an arrow." ā
Wang Hao frowned and asked, "Do you remember what I said when I first came out?" ā
"Well, a total of twenty strong bows, divided into eight groups, you and Huzi are each in a group, and the rest of us are in a group of three people, three of us aim at the same wolf, and the captain says 'shoot' and we will shoot together." Wang Zhu thought for a while and said.
"Then let me ask you again, why didn't you shoot an arrow just now?" Wang Zhu said with a straight face. Hunting is not child's play, hunting with long-range weapons will be completely different from once chopping with a stone axe and racing barefoot against prey in the wilderness. At this time, discipline will be more important than personal bravery.
"Didn't I say it, I saw that the third uncle was shot, and his mouth was shot through, he must be dead, I want to save an arrow for the tribe!" Wang Zhu didn't understand why Wang Hao asked a question twice, but he felt that Wang Hao's tone made him very unaccustomed to it, and it was a very unfamiliar tone.
"If you don't obey the order, you will be obsessed, now, your bow and arrow will be confiscated by me, your place will be replaced by the king's meat, and you can still stay in the team, but your identity will become a stone axe soldier." Wang Hao looked at Wang Zhu, who was half a head taller than him, and said.
"I don't, I said that whoever shoots well can hold a bow and arrow, I shoot better than the king's meat, I don't want to be a stone axe soldier, I want to take a bow and arrow!" Wang Zhu hugged his giant bow tightly and said unconvinced.
Wang Hao didn't answer, just looked at the patriarch calmly, waiting for his instructions.
The patriarch nodded, and it was obvious that Wang Hao was not only emphasizing discipline, but also establishing prestige.
The patriarch stood up with a straight face, pointed to Wang Zhu's nose and said: "Damn, I have done something wrong and still do not repent, hand over the bow and arrows, go and get the stone axe, if you don't take the stone axe, go back to the village and dig worms with those women." ā
The prestige of the patriarch for many years is much stronger than Wang Hao, even if Wang Hao has done many earth-shattering things, in the short term, it is still impossible to shake the status of the patriarch. Obeying the words of the patriarch and firmly believing that the patriarch's judgment is correct has penetrated into the hearts of every clansman. It's become a habit.
Wang Rou is an uncle of Wang Hao, and when he was fighting the day before yesterday, he was bitten off a piece of meat on his leg. However, the physical fitness of the people in the Great Wilderness is strong, and today, they have all been scarred. In the case that the combat effectiveness is really not sufficient, Wang Hao can only helplessly bring him with him.
The team of twenty-seven people, except for the patriarch, who came to suppress the formation, the rest had twenty strong archers. There were also six stone axe men with stone axes to protect the strong archers in the back. Among these people, seven of them were the same clansmen who were injured in the wolves the day before yesterday, just like Wang Rou.
Wang Hao believed that if the wolves approached, I am afraid that these nominal strong archers would immediately throw away their bows and arrows and pick up stone axes for hand-to-hand combat.
It's just that Wang Hao knows that in the future, the clan will get bigger and bigger, and the division of labor will be more clear. In particular, hunting, the advent of long-range weapons means that short-range and ranged troops will inevitably be separated. It's easier to set a rule now than to change it little by little later.
In the distance, the warning howls of the few old wolves left behind had been ringing for a long time. The wolves' response also came from afar. Wang Hao believes that it won't be long before the wolves will come back.
With a wave of his hand, six groups of strong archers bent their bows and shot arrows, and in the blink of an eye, the few old wolves that stayed behind were all nailed to the ground. This time, as long as the arrow was fired, a group of three people shot it at the same time, and whether they missed or not, they all shot the arrow according to the order.
Even when they died, the old wolves couldn't figure out what killed them.
The twenty-odd hairless monsters in the distance, the sharp-eyed wolves saw them, but they were not seen as a threat at all. The wolf cave has a narrow hole, and it is impossible for these hairless monsters to get in, and the distance is so far that even if you take a nap, you can take the little wolf to the wolf hole.
Of course, they didn't know that when something called 'bow and arrow' appeared on the land, the way humans and beasts fought would be completely different. From now on, this great wilderness, the things that can threaten humanity, will be permanently missing.
Of course, it was not only the old wolf that died on the ground, Wang Hao keenly found that the number of young wolves that were shot actually exceeded the old wolf. He understands that these are all stray arrows, so it can be seen that the archery skills of the clansmen still have to be practiced well.
The wolves soon returned, and there seemed to be seven or eight hundred of them. The newly chosen wolf king stood at the entrance of the cave and sniffed the corpse of the little wolf, which smelled of hairless monsters.
Raising his head, the wolf king habitually wanted to howl and tell his people that it was a hairless monster who had killed their cubs, but he was not guarded, and two arrows, one in front and one in the back, accurately hit its neck and heart. The arrow that hit the heart was so powerful that the entire shaft of the arrow passed through the body.
Regardless of the injury, the venom soaked in the arrow alone can kill it. Therefore, this wolf king, who had only been a day and a half for a day, died like this.
"Do you see the big tree?" Wang Hao pointed to a tree on the right and asked everyone.
When everyone said they had seen it, he continued: "Later, shoot the wolf that is close to us first, and then the wolf that runs to the left over the tree." ā
"You're trying to drive them to the right!" Wang Hu looked at the rioting wolves proudly, the arrow that passed through his body was exactly what he shot, but he didn't know that in Wang Hao's heart, he had already been crowned with the title of a strange man.
"On the right is Liu Village!" The patriarch thought for a while and then suddenly realized.
"That's right, Liu Cun threatened us with a monthly tribute of the carcasses of three beasts, each weighing about the same as an adult boar. Since they love beasts so much, I'll give them one at a time. Wang Hao said with a smile. He has never forgotten the threat of Liu Village, which is a large tribe with hundreds of warriors.
When Ishimura and Gumura were still there, they didn't dare to do anything, and honestly hunted their own hunts, but as soon as Ishimura perished, their fangs were exposed. They want to oppress other villages to strengthen their villages.
This time, Wang Hao wanted to force the wolves over and cause them a little trouble. If there is no obstruction from the wolves, I am afraid that Liu Village will come to inform the people who handed over the tribute, and they will arrive yesterday.
