Volume 1 Prehistoric Wars Chapter 84 Night Battles
There is a fish in the North Styx that has recently become obsessed with burning things, a hobby that originated when he succeeded in burning lime last time.
He threw all kinds of stones and dirt into the iron-making furnace, and at the high temperature, some of these things turned into liquids and some burned to ashes.
For his energy to study, it is too late for the old party to encourage him, where will he blame him.
The old party asked him to record the burning process, and not to throw away the things he obtained, but to store them in a bamboo tube, and wait for the old party to check them before they were disposed of.
There are fish in the North that never get tired of it, so he burned not only lime, but also three metals, aluminum, silver, and copper.
At present, the three metals have been used on a small scale, and in order to reward him, Lao Fang also specially sent a horse to him so that he could do it
Today, he burns sand.
As for why the sand is burned, his reason is simpler, he simply wants to see what will become of the sand after it is burned.
He stared at the furnace fire intently, feeling the heat of the flame, this furnace has been transformed and upgraded several times, the outer layer is wrapped with a thick layer of iron sheet, the inner layer is filled with yellow mud, in addition, the fuel has been completely changed to coke, this fuel, under the blowing of the bellows, can melt the iron.
The sand is melting, which makes Beiming Youyu happy in his heart, he just likes the burning object to melt slowly, he already has experience, and knows that what can be melted must be able to form something new.
And those things that are burned into slag are not much use.
He had a strong premonition that the object he got in front of him was likely to be praised by the "Lord" again.
"Whether or not the Lord can reward a horse this time is up to you!" The North Fish muttered.
Ever since his own brother Beiming Wuyu rode triumphantly and took over the iron sword specially made for him from his hand, the shadow of the tall horse could not be waved away in his heart, and he could now dream that he had a horse to walk, and he didn't want to be handsome, as long as he could travel thousands of miles a day......
When the sand had turned into a fiery red liquid, he took it out and divided it into two portions on a plate made of yellow clay, one for natural cooling and one for pouring cold water over it to cool quickly.
He has always done this, and there is a big difference between the two cooling methods, and he needs to compare them, and then record them and wait for the "Lord" to review them.
……
"There's fish, it's very good, I like the things you burned this time!" Lao Fang pinched the glass in his hand and nodded incessantly.
In fact, he had wanted to burn these things for a long time, but he still waited patiently for the fish in the North Underworld, and he knew that with the spirit of a blind cat like a fish in the North Styx to touch the dead mouse, he would encounter it sooner or later.
Sure enough, there are fish in the North Underworld that did not disappoint him.
Beiming Youyu couldn't close his mouth with a smile, he also felt that the things he burned this time were quite unusual, the things that were usually burned, some were hard, some were soft, and some were sparse when he was knocked, but they had never been as transparent as in front of him.
He knew that he must have made a great achievement this time, so he couldn't wait to come and offer the treasure.
"This one is called Liuli!" Of course, Lao Fang didn't want to bother with this name, so he still gave it its original name.
"Thank my Lord for the name!" There is a fish in the North Underworld who hurriedly bowed and accepted the name more solemnly.
"Recently, a milky white sand was found in the quarry, and you might be able to try it out!" The old party threw the glass on the table, which was meaningful.
"Milky sand?" The eyes of the fish in the North Darkness began to shine, and he knew that the 'Lord' would never be untargeted, and such a reminder must have a deep meaning.
Lao Fang looked at him and couldn't help but smile.
"There's a horse outside the door, let's go! The sun is about to go down. ”
The fish in the North Hell was overjoyed, saluted, and withdrew.
The old man smiled and muttered, "It seems that the telescope can be made!" ”
……
Night.
With four hundred spearmen and six hundred archers, they walked in the dense forest, they did not light torches, although many beasts were afraid of fire, but there were many creatures who liked light sources, and they did not want to expose their whereabouts.
Fortunately, there is still a little light in this dark night, which is better than a smear. Before dawn, he had to rush to the outside of the Valley of the Apes and pick up the Men from the Valley.
If he had walked normally, he might have reached the finish line in a few hours, but now, in order to ensure the safety of his troops, he had to slow his pace.
After all, this is not its own territory.
The Ironclad Beast is about the same size as a crocodile, and an adult Ironclad Beast can eat a sheep in one meal, and it is a more ferocious carnivore.
Before last winter, the Northern Immortal Fish would not have dared to approach them for half a minute, but he had already had the experience of sleeping with a giant python in a snake cave, and he really had no fear of a creature of this size.
Of course, if he was to fight an ironclad beast, that would be another matter, after all, his lord had said that he should do what he could, so he would think twice and come to the conclusion that it was the best thing to do.
Under the influence of the old side, the North Shadow Wuyu has been able to use some practical means, such as the current march, he will send some people to be spies, but he does not have the skills of the old side to open up and obtain the spies' vision by descending, he can only honestly wait for the spies to come back.
But this tactic is already very scientific in this era, and the North Shadow Fish can effectively grasp the information along the way.
In addition, the methods of burrowing into the grass and woods are also extremely skillful, and many times, the other party is close at hand, and they are not found lurking.
In the final analysis, the quality of these 1,000 people has changed drastically from the previous attack on the wild boar forest.
From walking to running, they all have special postures, which posture to use for charging, what posture to use for stealth, and what posture to use for ambushes, they all clearly distinguish.
In addition, their steps are trained very lightly, and they will pay attention to the surrounding environment with each foot down, and they will not easily step on things that are easy to make noise, such as dead leaves, stones, etc., and when marching, they will not touch vines and thorns.
Their behavior is no longer controlled by simple thinking, but has been trained to be a kind of conditional emission.
Even in ordinary life, when they walk, they will also subconsciously avoid the dead leaves on the ground.
"Goo-goo-goo!" At first glance, it's just a bird call, although there is no such thing as a bird.
But when it falls into the ears of the North Dead Fish, this is a signal of safety ahead.
The soldier who had become the most important deputy of the North Fish understood and immediately conveyed the order of the North Fish Fish, and the group continued to move forward.
……
In the dead of night, the old party didn't need to rest, he changed his body and was fighting at night.
He drew on a piece of burlap, and in his pen, a large and complex city was beginning to take shape.
This is the main thing he has been busy with during this time.
The city he planned to build would be capable of holding at least 50,000 people, and it would also be strong enough to withstand all kinds of coveted enemies.
He carefully calculated that the amount of resources needed to build such a city was not ordinarily large, wood, stone, steel, each of which was an astronomical amount for him now.
The unit of "10,000" appears frequently in his calculations, and with his current productivity, it may take three years to accumulate such resources.
However, in Lao Fang's plan, he wanted to divide the entire city construction process into several steps, starting with the city wall and the central building. Finally, the others will be perfected.
In this case, with his current productivity, he will probably be able to start construction this fall.
However, before that, he still needs to purge the surrounding forces.
It was a paradox, he wanted to build a city to defend against these enemies, and on the other hand, he needed to destroy these enemies so that he could build a city quietly.
This contradiction is somewhat difficult to reconcile, and he is heartbroken about it, but there is still no satisfactory solution to the matter.
However, he doesn't have to worry too much now, his power is easily wiped out, he still has the territory in the wild boar forest in his hand, in addition, if he is in a hurry, he can also hide in the original snake cave, and if he is in a hurry, he can put a fire in the Lost Forest......
……
"Array! Former! Bei Ying Wuyu roared in a low voice, and his order was stretched by several cronies who were cultivating around him.
Not far from the Valley of the Apes, the North Shadow Wuyu found himself stopped, and after a little analysis, he knew that the problem was there.
Just an hour ago, he had destroyed a team of blue-armored beasts, and the light was so dark that a few fish had slipped through the net in a hurry.
also blamed him for walking too slowly, the other party fled much faster than him, and then called for reinforcements.
He had just crossed a hill with his troops, and then reached a certain hill, and at this time, there were many beasts in front of him, and he immediately judged that he might be stopped.
According to the formation knowledge taught to him by Lao Fang, there are currently five changes in the North Dark Fish: front, back, left, right, and around.
The so-called front means that all the spearmen stand in front of them, forming a line, and then the archers hide behind and shoot arrows.
The principle of the other three directions is basically the same, only the circumference, which is to let the spearmen enclose the four directions together.
"Raise the fire!" When the four hundred spearmen blocked the entire team behind them, the North Shadow Wuyu once again gave an order, the order was concise and easy to understand, in fact, it was useless to say a large list, the language level of these people was still very poor, these concise orders, they could remember.
Dozens of soldiers blew on the "fire folds" in their hands and lit torches.
The flames rose, and one after another the green-armored beasts stopped moving forward in the firelight.
Their eyes are not yet accustomed to the light.
The North Shadow Fish also squinted, he had been tossing in the dark for too long tonight, and he couldn't adapt to the light at first glance.
Under the command of the North Shadow Wuyu, dozens of torches were inserted in the grass in front of the formation, due to the higher terrain, the firelight shone farther along the mountain, and objects dozens of meters away could be seen clearly.
There are fish in the North Underworld who are a little glad that they have just walked to this mountain, and if they go down to the valley, they may be wiped out.
At the top of the mountain, condescending, naturally has a geographical advantage, not to mention, if the green armor beast wants their life, they have to rush up the mountain in person, but the archers here are different, dozens of steps away, they can still take their lives.
Today's bow and arrows are no longer the version of the original shooting wild boar, in the bow shape, although there is no complex structure of the composite bow, nor is there a more difficult to make recurve bow, but this kind of longbow is made of extremely hard wood, as long as the user is strong, the power is as strong.
Not to mention the arrows, Lao Fang mass-produced more than a dozen different arrows, this time, he specially selected the strongest cone arrow to break the armor, before, the dozens of green armor beasts were wiped out by this bow and arrow.
Bei Ying Wuyu looked ahead, although he was not very good at mathematics, the number of green armor beasts in front of him must be several times that of them.
However, he had no fear, he looked down coldly, waiting for the other party's charge.
The green armor beast did not disappoint him, facing the slightly sloping mountain, raising its head, and rushing forward with a brave attitude.
"All throws!" Seeing that the other party was about to step into a hundred meters away, Beiming Wuyu commanded coldly.
The judgment of the North Shadow Fish was very accurate, and the six hundred archers drew their bows to the full moon, and then shot out, and about three seconds later, the arrows rained down in a hundred-meter area.
"Get on the arrow!" Without waiting to see the results, the North Shadow Fish continued to order.
"Group 1, come forward! Flat shot! Although this group of orders is a bit complicated, for every ten people, there is a chief who has a strong understanding ability, and every hundred people have a centurion who can basically communicate in words, and under their leadership, the team can naturally barely understand the orders.
In addition, these are the contents of daily training, as long as you use a little snack during training, these simple commands can still be memorized.
Speaking of which, even the puppies in the zoo can memorize a few simple arithmetic problems, and these soldiers, with a little care, will not have a problem distinguishing these commands.
Two hundred archers took ten paces forward, exactly seven or eight paces away from the spearmen, and then shot their arrows along the mountain.
"The second group, step forward, shoot flat!" When the first group took the fifth step, they gave this order.
Although the scale armor of the green armor is hard, but when it encounters this kind of iron arrow, it will also be defeated, but the green armor beast that can charge at the first time is the more courageous part, although the screams around him are endless, but still desperate to move forward.
It wasn't until the arrows were fired horizontally, mixed with the sound of breaking wind, that they noticed something unusual.
Usually they fight, only when the body is in contact will there be casualties, like in front of them, the other party is still dozens of meters away, and their own team is inexplicably dying one by one, this situation, they really haven't encountered it.
Dozens of green-armored beasts were timid, let out a whining sound, and turned their heads to go down the mountain.
When they descended the mountain, they were more direct, curling up their bodies and rolling down like wheels.
And those blue-armored beasts that still didn't recognize the situation still rushed to the front of the battle without hesitation.
"Welcome!" There are fish in the North Underworld who give orders.
"Kill!" Four hundred voices rang out at once, like a thunderclap, echoing between the valleys, and in the light of the fire, a spear with a handle mercilessly sent into the body of the enemy unit in this thunderous roar, no matter how thick the scale armor was, and the tip of the spear that was harder than it, and the speed of both sides, it was as fragile as tissue paper.
…… The text is being rescued in full force
Valley of the Apes.
The paradise-like ape-man valley ushered in spring with joy.
The entire Distant Ancestors felt incredible, the hardest winter had passed quietly, and they didn't even feel how cold it was.
In previous years, in such winters, three out of ten people would starve to death and freeze to death, but this year, everyone survived peacefully.
However, they also know that it all comes from the gift of 'God'.
The word 'god' was taught by a few young people who had been stationed in the Valley of the Apes for a long time, and they taught not only this word, but also many skills related to survival.
They learned several simple traps, and with the help of these traps, they were able to catch pheasants, rabbits.
They also learned to find hibernating snakes, digging through layers of soil and dragging them out of deep holes.
They also learned to make a fire and grill meat.
God changed their lives to a great extent.
They thank God from the bottom of their hearts.
Three times during the coldest of times, the convoys of the 'gods' drove into the Valley of the Apes, bringing them food, clothing, and even weapons.
They have wild boar, they have python meat, they eat happily, and they have a good mood when their stomachs are full.
They had burlap coats and wild boar fur coats, and they wore comfortable clothes, and when their bodies were warm, they thought about reproduction.
They pinned a stone axe that the old party had eliminated around their waists, and carried a hardwood bow on their backs, and when they saw a rabbit or something, they shot at the head of the head, and they couldn't shoot, and they practiced their hands, and they shot, and there were roast rabbits to eat at night, and they felt that life was much more comfortable than before.
Of course, in addition to encircling the distant ancestors, Lao Fang did not forget the iron-backed ape, in the history of the Xuanhuang people, the iron-backed ape has always played the role of a powerful thug, their strength is very strong, the old party wants to take them under his command.
But this kind of thing can only be done slowly, and it is interesting if you like me.
This time, the old side specially informed the distant ancestors that they would have a convoy set off from the territory, and asked them to send people to each other.
Now, the communication between the two sides is not as difficult as before, and they can often understand some commonly used languages taught by the old side.
The old party asked them to bring the ironback ape with them, so as to ensure the safety of the convoy.
The Distant Ancestors attached great importance to the assistance of the old side, and they left to send 4,000 men, as well as 600 ironback apes, to follow the old party's guide, towards the Lost Forest.
The old man stood at the front of the team, and behind him were a thousand soldiers led by the North Shadow Fish.
Recently, after some consideration, the old side has transformed the thousand people in the hands of Beiming Wuyu from the nature of a militia to a professional soldier.
Since then, they have been training full-time and have no need to participate in other jobs.
However, the logistics have been a little weak recently, and the old side asked these 1,000 people to set up an ambush on a certain mountain, and more than 3,000 deer of unknown breed were surrounded and annihilated.
The old side saw that the effect was good, and included hunting in the content of the training.
However, in order to prevent the North Underworld from coming around, the old party asked to see the plan of the North Underworld before each hunt, such as where to hunt and what the opponent's strength was.
