Volume 5 Chapter 27 Fight for victory against all odds

"Come on, come on"

"Take the bale here"

"Is it bundled? After tying it up, take the soil and press it, can't hold it down? If you can't hold it down, you won't step on it! ”

This is a village in Yuyi, one of the Dongyi tribes, and on a hot construction site at the head of the village, Ji Fa is sweating profusely and yelling at a few Dongyi youths who are working.

Since the wildfire conference, the patriarchs of the various tribes of Dongyi finally agreed to send troops under Ji Fa's difficult persuasion, but this was not without conditions.

In fact, it is not a condition, it is also a real difficulty, to make all the people agree to send troops, it is best to solve these difficulties, otherwise sending troops can only be an empty word, after all, most of the Dongyi people's wars in the past were forced to resist helplessly, all near the door of the house, and there are few large-scale long-distance wars.

If it is just to organize a team, then it is easy to say that the Dongyi people send troops, and it is not much different from the usual hunting, but there are more people, and the object of hunting is changed from beasts to enemies.

But then again, after all, there are differences from hunting in normal times, which are mainly reflected in the following aspects:

One is rations.

Since it is a war, there is no way to catch the prey in many cases, and sometimes the hunt has to be ambushed for several days, of course you can't do it when you are fighting, and there are many people, and the prey can't just satisfy so many people, if you encounter a large group of beasts, it is obviously not cost-effective to fight with the beasts before you can fight, so you must prepare the dry food for the war in advance, so where does the dry food come from?

Not only the rations during the march, but also the rations of the remaining women and children in the tribe will also be a problem, when the young and strong are running to fight, the women and children can't just pick wild fruits, they have to eat some meat, and there is no food for men to hunt?

The other is when all the young people in the tribe go to war, what will happen to the safety of the women and children in the tribe?

You must know that the beasts are not as good as the later generations, not very many, very, very many, even in the gathering point of the tribe, there are often wild beasts running into the crowd and hurting people, once the young and strong are running to fight, then a wild boar will come casually, and the women and children of the entire tribe can be cleaned up, so this problem must be arranged in advance.

The last one is a weapon.

If you want to say that there is a war at this time, especially for the Dongyi people, in addition to bows and arrows are hoes, there are also some stone farm tools, you say that when you go to the battlefield to fight, you will naturally use a knife to cut it, can you use farm tools?

This question is almost the same as a person who is so hungry that he doesn't even have to eat the bark of a tree saying why don't he eat meat.2B, if there are so many machetes, who would want to bring farm tools, isn't it because there is none, the tribe is really poor!

The so-called Bronze Age is actually the Paleolithic Age!

After Ji Fa learned about it, he found that except for the Fengyi tribe that he first contacted was a little better, the other tribes were so poor that they were dingling, and the Xuanyi tribe had not yet succeeded, so I didn't know what the situation was, it was said to be the best, and I would know when I saw it.

At least most of the Fengyi people still use bows and arrows, while the other tribes are called a broken one, and some of them don't even have stone farm tools!

You think it takes a lot of effort to make farm tools? It's good to have a stone thrown as a weapon.

Judging from this situation, if you want to overthrow the bronze troops led by Di Xin, you will undoubtedly find a way to send them to death, so you must think of a way to improve the combat effectiveness of the various clans of the Dongyi tribe, Ji Fa thought.

However, when he first arrived in the Yuyi clan, Ji Fa had to find that the matter of combat effectiveness had to be slowed down first, and he had to give priority to solving the second problem, that is, to solve the safety of women and children, otherwise the Yuyi people would not even want to move.

It was useless to talk about it, and after Ji Fa tried a little, he could only think of other methods, and finally came up with an idea of building a city wall to enclose the tribe first.

In fact, it can't be called a city wall at all, that thing is too tall, and it is already very good to be able to block the earthen wall, but fortunately, it is very simple to build this earthen wall.

Find some tree trunks of relatively uniform thickness and cut them into rafters of the same length, then twist the grass into a straw rope, use a stone with a relatively flat bottom as a pestle, dig a shallow hole in the top, insert a wooden stick into it, and then wear the straw rope so that it can be lifted by hand, and the raw materials will be prepared.

Then start from the flat ground outside the village, first erect four piles, cross vertically and horizontally and use rafters to form a tic-tac-toe, and then fill the mouth of the tic-tac-toe with wet soil. If the water splashes a little bit and seeps a little, it will be gone.

Then find a few young people in the middle to step barefoot, step on the solid and then use the stone pestle to force the pestle, after the pestle is solid, and then add a layer of rafters on the top of the tic-tac-toe, fix it with a straw rope, and then continue to cover the soil, step on the solid, pestle, when the rafters are not enough after such a few layers, and then cut the straw rope, move the bottom rafters to the top, and so on, that is, ram the foundation to build a wall!

This thing basically has no technical content, but don't talk about Yu Yi, the entire tribe of Dongyi has never engaged in this kind of rammed earth method, so at the beginning, even if Ji Fa spoke dryly, he explained and demonstrated, and it took several days to let a group of young people who followed the study finally learn it.

After that, it is logical that many people have learned, when the big guys have learned about the same, the progress of the project has been greatly accelerated, less than half a month, the east of the village has erected a thick two-zhang high earthen wall, wide at the bottom and narrow at the top, even the top can walk three people side by side, a little formed, the big guy found that this wall can not only block the beast, but also prevent the wind, it is really a good thing.

With such a thick wall, if it goes around the whole village, leaving only a narrow gap for people to enter and exit, then only one person is enough to keep vigilance.

Once the project is completed, the security of the entire village will be increased to an unprecedented level.

Astound!

Lament!

Praise!

Adore!

In short, all kinds of positive energy eyes and praises came to Ji Fa's face, and there was an endless gushing posture, which also laid a solid foundation for the further development of Ji Fa's follow-up work, and the enthusiasm of all the tribes was unprecedentedly high.

For a time, the arrangements of other tribes were also endless, and many people were also curious to go up and make two pestles first, and their enthusiasm was unprecedentedly high.

After Ji Fa passed on the craft of building walls, he quickly started to think about food again, and when his method proved to be effective, the entire Dongyi tribe set off a vigorous large-scale production movement.
