In order to attack the Lu tribe, Long Qiupeng made a lot of arrangements, one by one, and they were interlocking. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

He assigned different tasks to different people from far to near, but in the end, the most central, the most important, and the most dangerous task once again fell on the shoulders of the deer.

But Long Qiupeng, who had always been disobedient in the Long tribe, did not order the deer. He just looked at the young man in front of him sincerely. It was this teenager who began to devote himself wholeheartedly and die to himself from the moment he met.

In the most dangerous time, it was he who shared the hardships with Long Qiupeng, which won him a place in the tribe to survive. Now that Long Qiupeng has been promoted to the leader of the tribe, Lu is still working the front line because of this loyalty and trust, but Long Qiupeng can't give him a dazzling and noble identity.

Although the deer himself didn't feel that it was a problem, Long Qiupeng still felt full of guilt, so after he finished assigning the task, he looked at the deer sincerely and said: "This time, whether you feel that it is too dangerous, too difficult, or there is no need to do this, you can choose to refuse." ”

However, the deer did not even hesitate at all, and firmly chose to accept the task.

Long Qiupeng didn't say anything else, just patted him on the shoulder again. However, he also secretly promised in his heart that if he could dominate one day, he would definitely return his glory.

Although Long Qiupeng did not publicly announce that he had entered the stage of preparing for war, rumors about this still spread among the tribe, and the tension also climbed.

Long Qiupeng himself has always remained silent about this matter, but constantly urged the Tao Department to become proficient in the skills of going into the water to fish as soon as possible, as if the tribe was just in a hurry to complete the normal winter hoarding.

The clansmen didn't know that the confrontation with the Furnace tribe had been in full swing since the moment Long Qiupeng stepped on the Furnace tribe, and the food reserve was only the most marginal part of it.

The eagerness to attack the Furnace tribe not only comes from the expansion plan of the Furnace tribe itself, but also because the Furnace tribe has three puppet tribes, and in the absence of extreme weather, the food supply of the tribe can be guaranteed, and an opportunity like this year is actually very rare.

And the battle plan had already been determined when Long Qiupeng finished "inspecting" the Lu tribe - burning the opponent's granary barracks. Then when the other party is hungry and unable to continue, take the other party in one fell swoop.

But there are two difficulties in this plan, one is the Hai tribe who provides support for the Lu tribe, and the other is the rocket used to burn the barracks.

The former he has already handed over the matter to the deer, while the latter still needs him to figure it out on his own.

Bows and arrows were readily available, and Great Lake had made some upgrades to the original bow and arrows: the length of the bow and arrow was increased to increase the range; Improve the feathers of arrows and improve the stability of arrow flight; Make some hard pottery arrows and hard bone arrows to increase the lethality and penetration of bows and arrows.

This is not a problem now, the bigger problem is how to tie the incendiary device to the bow and arrow. After all, in primitive society, Long Qiupeng had no place to engage in high-concentration alcohol or kerosene. And to shoot with the arrow, the incendiary device must not be afraid of the wind.

The composition of the combustion unit is not particularly complicated, and it is about enough to require fuel, an accelerant and then fixation. But how to choose, there are some considerations.

Although the Dragon tribe does not have cotton and linen textiles now, it is only used as a fixation, and ordinary plant fibers can also be used as a substitute. Long Qiupeng asked the pottery wood to make some small pieces of plant fabrics.

After the fixation was solved, Long Qiupeng began to choose fuel. The rocket will be slower than a normal arrow because it is tied with a heavy object, but even so, it will generate wind during the flight, so it would be nice if this fuel could be protected from the wind. In fact, there is no kind of fuel that has its own windproof properties, but charcoal because of its special combustion method, so compared with other fuels, in the case of strong winds, it burns more vigorously, so in the end, Long Qiupeng chose charcoal as the combustible.

In this way, Long Qiupeng made a charcoal bag out of fabric and wrapped it around the tail of the arrow, and the first test was completed. But the test was proven to be a failure before it was put into service.

It is more difficult to light charcoal than it is to light a fabric, so when you see an open flame, the fabric burns a hole, and the charcoal scatters before it burns.

As soon as the plan failed, Long Qiupeng sighed and replanned the fuel part.

Charcoal alone won't work, so what can be done as an aid? Don't think about gasoline, kerosene, engine oil, etc., let alone kerosene, in this primitive era, the world may not have found a thing called oil.

As a substitute, he first thought of animal fat, but animal fat he had already thought of, but although animal fat is flammable, it is not resistant to burning, and it is okay as an accelerant, but it is difficult to support as a fuel.

Animal oil is not good, he began to search his mind, whether there is a suitable vegetable oil, soybeans, peanuts, corn germ don't think, even if he finds the right seeds, he can't complete the extraction.

There is now a need for more primitive and natural plant-based fuels. In temperate hybrid forests, there are deciduous trees and coniferous forests, and if it is a natural plant fuel, then pine resin may be a very good choice.

Previously, most of the tribes used pine resin to make binders, and the Dragon tribe had not yet mastered the technology of metal forging, and most of the arrowhead spearheads were glued with rosin. However, pine resin is also an excellent fuel, and it is said that the earliest solid fuel for Kong Ming lanterns was made of rosin.

Thinking of this, Long Qiupeng called Dahu and told him the basic principle of this design, and then asked him to make the bow and arrow, and give him feedback as soon as possible.

Before Dahu had left, someone from the exploration team came in and asked to see him.

Long Qiupeng had always respected the intellectuals of the Long tribe, but this time he didn't care so much, and just drove Dahu out and summoned the members of the exploration team.

The exploration team started with the boats, but within a few days, the Great Lake had the raft ready. In order to narrow down the target and facilitate reconnaissance, the deer later asked the members of the reconnaissance team to travel on camouflaged rafts, and hide underwater in case of emergency.

At this time, the team member standing in front of Long Qiupeng, although his hair had gradually dried, his body was still wet, and he was shivering a little in the autumn wind.

Seeing this, Long Qiupeng didn't say a word, just pointed to the clothes on his body to the deer, and the deer took a soft deerskin blanket from Long Qiupeng's room and draped it on the team members. Because Long Qiupeng saved the tribe from danger several times, most of the clansmen of the Long tribe were grateful to him, and the exploration team was a loyal supporter chosen by Lu himself. In the concept of these people, loyalty to Long Qiupeng is a matter of course.

So when Long Qiupeng gave this team member thoughtfulness, he knelt on the ground with gratitude, his head like pounding garlic.

However, Long Qiupeng did not say more on this issue, he still sat on his bed or throne with a majestic face, and said one word to the team members succinctly: "Say." ”

"The Hai tribe has found it!" After the team member finished speaking, he presented a piece of bark and burned the location and size of the Hai tribe with fire.

Although Long Qiupeng had thought of the other party's intention before, when the other party said it himself, he still felt a burst of excitement. He immediately stood up, unfolded the map from before him, and compared it to the map brought by the exploration team, marking the Hai tribe. The scale of this map has also been expanded once again.

Through the information brought by the exploration team, Long Qiupeng found that the Hai tribe was in the lower reaches of the Lu tribe, that is, it was farther away than the Lu tribe. And it is different from the shore type of the Lu tribe, the shore of the Hai tribe is somewhat similar to that of the Long tribe, with a long shoal and abundant aquatic plants, so it is rich in species and aquatic products.

But from a military point of view, whether it is a person or a ship, it is very difficult to launch a sneak attack or surprise attack without being detected, and the most important thing is that Long Qiupeng's purpose is only to cut off the food supply from the Hai tribe to the Lu tribe, and now attacking the Hai tribe is a kind of self-consumption, unnecessary and worthless.

Seeing off the members of the exploration team, Lu looked at Long Qiupeng with inquiring eyes, Long Qiupeng was silent for a while and said to Lu: "Their tribe believes in the god of fire. ”

Lu didn't know what Long Qiupeng's words meant, so he just nodded mechanically, indicating that he was right.

Long Qiupeng leaned on the bed, sat there with the appearance of "Beijing paralysis", and said to the deer leisurely: "Then let the fire god tell them what to do!" ”

Anyway, if one day, the Furnace tribe becomes a part of the Dragon tribe, then he also needs to transform their beliefs, so it is better to use faith now to control the Hai tribe, let him temporarily break away from the Furnace tribe, and completely cut off the back road of the Furnace tribe.

However, the deer still didn't understand what Long Qiupeng meant, and still looked at Long Qiupeng blankly. Long Qiupeng smiled and said, "You first prepare the escort of tomorrow's food, and when you come back, we will make specific arrangements for the Hai tribe." ”

Three days later, in the evening, the setting sun turned the lake red, and the autumn water seemed very calm, but occasionally some strange aquatic plants floated on the lake.

The small tribes by the lake, there peacefully, waiting for their tribe's boats to dock. The toiling clansmen closed their nets and prepared to end the day's work.

The leader lit the torches in the altar and waited for the people to bow down, both in gratitude for the day's peace and in prayer for tomorrow's harvest. The women took the day's harvest from the men and began to collect the fish. Others put away the dried fish that had been dried the previous days and then divide them in a certain proportion.

The man who divided the dried fish shook his head as he counted them, and finally struggled to take a few more from the many ones and put them into the few ones. But this was seen by the leader of the sidelines, who came up to him and scolded the man, and put the dried fish back in the pile. Then he took the man by the hand, knelt down in front of the fire, and recited the words, begging the gods for forgiveness.
