Chapter 53: Bow Test
……
Ah Meng pulled the bowstring of the improved bow again, and sighed: "This kid is not small, with this bow, only we shoot others' share, who can shoot us, these days it is common for him to ask the clan to do this and that, not serious to go hunting, I also scolded him in my heart for not doing his job, it seems that I blame him, everything he does is for the sake of the Fire Dance Clan......"
"What are you talking about me?" A familiar voice came from behind them.
Uncle Ah Kun and Ah Meng looked back and saw Liu Zhibang walking towards them. Originally, Liu Zhibang didn't want to get close to Ah Meng, but when he saw him and Uncle Ah Kun leaving the village with a bow and arrow, the bow in Ah Meng's hand was made according to the sketch he provided, and he also wanted to see if the power of the bow was as powerful as said in the "Noah's Ark System".
"Abang ......"
"Patriarch ......"
"How did you feel about trying this new bow?" Liu Zhibang approached the two and said.
Uncle Ah Kun excitedly continued: "Patriarch, this bow made according to your will is amazingly powerful, you see, it can shoot the tree so deep in more than two hundred steps, it is not twice as strong as our previous bow!" ”
Liu Zhibang took the improved longbow, this bow is not completely done, it has not been painted, he also tried to pull the bowstring, halfway to the pull, he felt a little difficult, as soon as he let go, the bowstring hummed out a low trill, the string force was very strong.
"I'll try it too!"
Liu Zhibang took a newly made long arrow brought by the guards behind him, the tail feathers of the long arrow were longer and wider, and the arrow was larger, Liu Zhibang took the arrow and wound it, and used all his strength to pull the bow, but the arrow was pointed up to the sky at a 45-degree angle.
Sou......
The arrow shot off the string and shot into the sky, only to begin to slide slowly where they could barely see, but it was far beyond the border of the jungle outside the village, and fell into the sparse woods.
Recognize the direction and say to Liu Zhibang: "Let's go, let's go and find out, where did you fly......
The three of them walked 800 meters in the direction where the arrow was flying before they saw the tail feathers of the arrow in the jungle.
"There it is!" Ah Meng was the first to spot the arrow.
When the three of them walked to the arrow, except for Liu Zhibang, Ah Meng and Uncle Ah Kun couldn't help but take another breath of cold air. I saw that the long arrow more than one meter long was stuck diagonally on a large stone, and the arrow was no longer visible at all, at least at a depth of nearly ten centimeters.
"We've walked a thousand steps, this arrow is still so powerful, patriarch, how can this arrow be so powerful?" Uncle Ah Kun has been making bows and arrows for decades, but this new bow shocked him too much.
Liu Zhibang tried to pull out the arrow, but he couldn't pull it out, so he had to give up, and said: "The arrow I shot just now is a little different from the original arrow, the arrow is heavier, the tail feathers are wider and longer, of course you can fly farther, when the arrow flies into the sky and falls, the heavier the arrow falls, the stronger the gravitational acceleration of the fall, the power will naturally be greater, the general armor can not stop this arrow, this longbow is more suitable for long-range attacks." Uncle Ah Kun, it's amazing that you made such a bow so quickly, but we need at least a hundred such bows in our clan. The short bow is suitable for close attacks, you don't need to do such a big pull, otherwise ordinary people can't pull it a few times, the short bow needs to be made at least more than three hundred, within ten days, launch all the clansmen who can make bows and arrows, as long as you can ensure that fifty arrows are not broken, how many can you estimate? ”
Uncle Ah Kun pondered for a while, silently calculated the number and progress of the clansmen who could make bows and arrows, and thought for a while before saying: "Within ten days, gather all the clans in the clan who can make bows and arrows to work day and night, and if the materials are sufficient, such a longbow should be able to make about fifty, and the short bow can also make about one hundred and twenty, and no more can be made." ”
Liu Zhibang also tacitly calculated, at present, there are about 200 old-fashioned bows in the clan, plus nearly 400 new bows, it is basically possible to have one person in battle, and there is no problem with small-scale battles. The next problem is to make enough arrows, smelting bronze has just begun, and it should be possible to make more than 20,000 arrows in ten days. There is also the spear head of the spear and the scimitar, the straight sword, these weapons are also best done by each person, if the Montenegrin once invaded the village, white-knuckle combat is inevitable, and the chance of winning without weapons is very small.
"Then it's hard Uncle Ah Kun, what people do you need, what materials do you need, just say, I will fully support you!" After saying to Uncle Ah Kun, Liu Zhibang turned his head and said to Ah Meng: "Ah Meng, you are the best hunter in our clan, I want to ask you for a favor!" ”
Ah Meng puffed up his chest proudly and said, "Say, brother-in-law, what does my uncle need to do!" ”
When Liu Zhibang heard this, he replied with a little red face: "Ahem...... You go to some hunters who are good at setting traps and spread all kinds of traps around the village, you don't have to kill people, as long as you can trap people, you can do it, you have five days, can you do it? ”
Ah Meng said with a relaxed face: "Little meaning, this matter is wrapped up in the eldest brother, and I promise to complete the task!" ”
After confessing, Liu Zhibang took the guards and left, leaving behind the triumphant Ah Meng and Uncle Ah Kun.
Uncle Ah Kun saw that Liu Zhibang was far away, so he said to Ah Meng: "Ah Meng, how do you call the patriarch brother-in-law, even Aya calls him the patriarch in front of everyone, but you can't lose your manners!" ”
Ah Meng saw Uncle Ah Kun teach him a lesson, and said with a smile: "Uncle Ah Kun, he is my future brother-in-law, what's wrong with calling my brother-in-law, it's okay, Ah Bang doesn't care, hehe, call his brother-in-law more kind...... "After speaking, Ah Meng also left.
"This bastard boy ......," Uncle Ah Kun shook his head, and went to work on the bow and arrow.
Liu Zhibang walked to the kiln again, dozens of people were busy non-stop, a large amount of wood was thrown into the kiln, and thick smoke floated out of the flue of the kiln, and the pervasive smoke choked everyone to tears, but no one escaped to be lazy.
"Don't add firewood to those kilns, when you can go inside, put the things in the crucible outside and then cool, and when the ore inside is cold, knock out the blackened ballast, and put the remaining shiny bronze into the clean crucible, or put charcoal in it, and then put the crucible in the kiln to burn it......" Liu Zhibang instructed a few leading workers, and then went to several other kilns to check.
Liu Zhibang pointed to the mold base in one place and said to the workers: "Put the molds I made into this kiln and burn them, be careful not to deform them......
Aya arranged the matter of making tortoise shells at this time, rushed back to Liu Zhibang's side, and said, "Commander, I have arranged the matter, what will we do next?" ”
