"Sling?!" Luo Ji's pupils shrank suddenly.

"Yes." Hayama nodded with a bitter face, "We were attacked by the people of the Barbarian Bear Tribe with a sling, and the prey we hit was also snatched. ”

The hunting team of the Spiegel tribe, in this era, the weapons in their hands are absolutely excellent, but it is impossible for Luo Ji to let them take the slings and carry a basket of stone bullets to hunt, that would be a disease at all.

As for the bow and arrow that was just developed before, it takes a lot of time to practice if you want to use the bow and arrow well, and it is better not to use it when the bow is too poor and you can't shoot at all, so even now, the main weapons of the hunting team are still stone spears and stone axes, but I didn't expect such an accident to happen.

"When? When did the Wild Bear tribe learn to throw stones? Similar thoughts kept flashing through Luo Ji's mind, "Was it when I used slingers to suppress the hyena pack on the outskirts of the woods?" ”

There was a hint of uncertainty in Luo Ji's tone, the structure of the slings was indeed simple, but it was not so easy for other barbarians to learn at a glance!

"By the way, patriarch, the slings in the hands of those people of the Barbarian Bear Tribe seem to be different from those of our tribe." Looking at Luo Ji, who was deep in thought, Ye Shan, who seemed to have remembered something, hurriedly added.

"Not quite the same?"

"Yes." Hayama nodded, "The slings in their hands seem to be made of bark ropes. ”

There's definitely more than one way to make a sling, and at the end of the day, as long as you figure out the principle, you can do whatever you want, and of course the bark rope will do, so it's all about the difficulty.

The bark rope is something that their tribe also has, which Luo Ji learned from going offline to check the information before, and used it to replace the original tree vine, although the weaving technique is not very complicated, but it is not something that the natives of the ancient times can come up with at once, not to mention that the bark rope is braided into a sling, which is even more impossible for a group of natives in ancient times.

Thinking of this, Luo Ji's eyelids jumped, and he reacted, "When Liu Zheng went to look for the corpses of the invaders before, he didn't find the weapons left behind by them at all, looking at the current situation, it was picked up by the people of the Barbarian Bear Tribe......"

Luo Ji, who realized this, couldn't help but make a gesture of reaching out to support his forehead, "I'm really entering the bad luck period now." ”

Taking a deep breath, Luo Ji's gaze fell on Ye Shan's body again, "In short, you will stay in the tribe to recuperate in the past few days, and at the same time, I will also send someone to teach you how to use a bow and arrow." ”

Obviously, looking at this development trend, it is estimated that it will not be long before the slings will spread among the barbarians, although the slings will become very poor when used to deal with some rough and thick-skinned beasts, but when used to deal with people, the lethality is still undoubted, a heavy blow is enough to make a person's head bleed, and the threat caused by it cannot be underestimated, Luo Ji feels that he needs to prepare early.

The first way to weaken the threat of the slings is to make a helmet, as long as you protect your fragile head, the blunt attack of the stone bullet on other parts of the body is also painful, but it is not too deadly.

The second method is to make shields, shields and armor, which are probably the two most famous armor in the era of cold weapons.

However, according to Luo Ji's current situation of having no metal ore, no forging equipment, and no forging method, don't count on metal helmets or anything, wolf bone masks also have a certain amount of defense, but the number is limited, and they can only block one side, so the shield has become the best choice for his current situation.

In the past, there was no need for shields, so there was no waste of time and energy on this matter, but now, with the proliferation of long-range weapons, the demand for shields is obviously going to increase dramatically.

The style and type of shield, say not much, say a lot less, as a lover of strategic war games, Luo Ji naturally understands, after all, this will affect the defense and action capabilities of all arms, roughly distinguished, can be divided into three types, large shield, medium shield and small shield......

Small shields generally refer to small round shields, also known as fighting shields, which are very light and small in size, suitable for one-on-one heads-up combat, but not very suitable for war.

The large shield, commonly known as the door panel, is in fact shaped like a door panel, which is very large in size, which seriously affects the ability to move, and is suitable for arming heavy armor soldiers and using it for the advancement of large-scale armies.

After such a simple screening, Luo Ji's next choice is already about to come out, that is, it is not big, not too small, a medium-sized shield of the golden oil type.

After confirming the choice, the production of the medium-sized shield does not need to trouble Ye Xuan, who is studying the three-bow bed crossbow, and it is not a complicated thing in itself, as long as you call Liu Shu and a few of them, and then prepare the production materials, you can start work......

The shape of the whole shield is determined to be a round shield, the material is made of wood, the main thing is that there is no other good choice, the inner side is placed with a grip handle, and the outer side should have a curvature, so that it can better unload the force, at the same time, considering the strength of the whole round wooden shield, the outer surface is wrapped with a layer of tough hard leather, which can not only be stronger, but also increase the defense ability to a certain extent.

With Luo Ji pointing out from the side, a round leather shield with a simple structure quickly took shape......

System Prompt: Congratulations to the player 'Luo Ji' for successfully making the 'Round Leather Shield'

Without paying attention to the system prompt ringing in his head, Luo Ji took the round leather shield in his hand and gestured, although it was wooden, but considering the defensive ability, when doing it, they deliberately put a lot of effort into the thickness of the shield, so it was still quite weighty in his hand.

After trying the feel, Luo Ji held the round leather shield in his hand, and then put on a posture to resist the attack, "You take a stone spear and attack me, I want to try the defense of this leather shield." ”

As soon as Luo Ji said this, everyone in the Ordnance Department was startled on the spot, only to see that one person, at this time, he was silent, what kind of joke? That's the leader, who dares? No one dared to test the shield's defenses.

Faced with this situation, Luo Ji was also speechless in his heart, Liu Shu's concerns, he also had a number in his heart, but he didn't blow it, just with the strength of these people in the Ordnance Department, he could easily knock over several by himself.

"Don't give me any trouble, Liu Shu, it's you! Hurry up! ”

Liu Shu, who was named by Luo Ji, wanted to cry without tears at this time, "Patriarch, you better change someone to get the shield, you take the shield, and your subordinates don't dare to do it!" ”
