Don't look at it as just three arrows, in fact, it has a great impact on the outcome of the battle.

Because one side is undamaged, it is all long-range shooting, and the other side is attrition.

One-on-one, two-to-one on the battlefield, two different treatments entirely.

The common denominator of the so-called art of war lies in the use of various methods to create a situation in which more people fight less, thus forming superiority in military strength against attrition.

And flying squirrels are not undead, as long as they are natural beings, they have morale. For example, before, the needle gold directly eliminated the leader of the flying squirrels, which caused the remaining flying squirrels to collapse and flee directly.

The number of archery shoots is actually not much.

The number of archery shoots is too much, which greatly depletes their physical strength. They are all temporary archers, and their stamina should be allocated more to melee combat, otherwise the gains outweigh the losses.

Next, the work of adjusting the bow, the needle gold was still handed over to Bai Ya to be responsible.

Yellow algae and cyanobacteria have only a small part of the leadership ability, and at most they lead a small team to charge on the deck of a sea ship.

As for the needle, he doesn't know how to adjust the bow. Not to mention the beard and purple pedicle.

Bai Ya, the son of Orion, has ordinary strength, if he hadn't fallen on this island, he would definitely be too dull for everyone. But in this situation, he can shine with a glimmer of light with his own talents.

For him, the island is a great danger, but it also has great opportunities.

"At the end of the day, there are too few people under me. Those who are slightly talented, like Bai Ya, can stand out. Needle Gold sighed secretly.

Bai Ya led several people to adjust the bow, and the rest of them would certainly not be idle.

The yellow algae continues to hunt, and the main goal is not to obtain food, but to target the wild birds and harvest the feathers.

Cyanobacteria continue to monitor the perimeter of the flying squirrel colony.

Wooden shields and hunter traps were made one after another.

There are also hemp ropes woven from bark silk, the short ones are used for bowstrings, and the long ones are used for bundling, such as the making of shields. The reserves of hemp rope continue to rise, and these things are inconspicuous, but very practical.

No one can estimate how long they will stay on this island, so they should try to stock up on things like hemp rope.

According to Cangsu's introduction, hemp rope is actually very widely used.

In addition to the function of hemp rope itself, hemp rope and hemp rope can be combined to weave into a net. The net pocket can be loaded, can form a cloth cover, can be woven into straw sandals.

Beard was also involved, and he provided an extremely rudimentary loom.

This kind of loom is made of a dozen small wooden stakes inserted in the soil, and the small wooden stakes are arranged in two rows. One of the rows of small wooden stakes is held in place at intervals with a horizontal stick.

After the small wooden stakes are wound around the line, dozens of vertical lines are parallel. Once the stick is lifted, half of the small stake is lifted, and half of the vertical line is cocked.

At this time, insert the only horizontal line along the angle of the warped line. Then put the vertical line down, a horizontal line and a dozen vertical lines are compacted, and the basic action of weaving is completed.

This action is repeated dozens or hundreds of times, and a piece of cloth is successfully born.

This loom is extremely primitive, and its efficiency is completely incomparable with that of the looms in the empire, one on the ground and one in the sky. A person who spends a small half a day of work can only get a small piece of the size of the butt.

However, it does save huge manpower and material resources, and the work efficiency is much higher than that of simple labor.

The members of the exploration team who used these looms to work were all amazed by the profound knowledge of Cangsu. But Greybeard told them that the loom had been obtained while studying the information of the orcs.

Compared with the Terran Empire, although the Orcs occupy the Wilderness Continent, they generally exist in the form of tribes, and their living standards and productivity are generally low. This type of loom is prevalent among the orcs.

As for Purple Di, she is mainly responsible for making poisons. Needle Gold told her clearly that a poison was needed, which could dissipate naturally, or be boiled, baked, etc. Or simply, even if this poison exists, it is only effective against flying squirrels and does not cause much harm to the human body.

After all, hunting flying squirrels with needle gold is to get food. If the poison is too strong, even if these flying squirrels are poisoned, the meat of the flying squirrels cannot be eaten. For the entire exploration team, the losses will far outweigh the gains.

The current environment is extremely simple, and Zidi can only reluctantly try, and she makes another request - she needs a flying squirrel to be tested in vivo.

Needlegold secretly set out to spy on the flying squirrel colony with cyanobacteria.

The beard remained in the camp to direct the dispatch.

After adjusting the bow, Bai Ya led everyone to start the test firing.

In the evening, the leaders met again to exchange their findings.

Needle Gold and Cyanobacteria caught three live flying squirrels and handed them over to Zidi.

There was no prey on the yellow algae's side, and the hunt did not rely on combat power, and he also lost some iron arrowheads. These iron arrowheads are very cherished, with one less than one.

However, they did not harvest - the group had to go further to try their luck by going further and accidentally found a small bamboo forest.

Bamboo is a very excellent resource, and bamboo with knots is a natural water storage container. Bamboo can be used to make bamboo rafts, and bamboo can be sharpened to make traps.

Day 3

"Shoot!" Huang Zao gave the order, and many arrows whizzed out.

A dozen rudimentary targets were set up at a distance of one hundred and twenty paces.

Concentric circles were also drawn on the target with charcoal, but not to mention a few rings, few of the arrows shot out hit the target.

The ring on the target is a little smaller, similar to that of a flying squirrel. But in the real battle, everyone is going to shoot flying squirrels, and these flying squirrels will move.

So the results of this kind of archery are really unacceptable.

"You're not in the right position. ”

"The waist is straight, the arms are straight. ”

"Steady, steady. What are you shaking?!"

Huang Zao served as an instructor.

His brow furrowed, and there was a tremendous pressure in his heart.

In comparison, the number one archery in the whole team is, of course, needle gold.

The second is Bai Ya, this young man's archery skills are still above Huangzao and others. After all, for him, this is a craft that eats all year round and depends on for a living.

Hunters don't hunt hard, it's just a way for them to earn a living. In addition to hunting dogs, the most common trap used by hunters. Bows are also used a lot. A good hunter will choose to back down or give up when he encounters a large beast that he cannot hunt.

Yellow algae and cyanobacteria are good at close combat, and when shooting from a distance, they use crossbows more than bows. They survived on the ship, so they deliberately practiced archery.

The results of the hunt yesterday were a mess, and today he was arranged by Needle Gold to become a temporary instructor.

In order to save his face, Xanzao worked very hard.

If you want to train others, it's more reliable to train xanthophylla. Although his archery skills are a little worse than Bai Ya.

White Bud archery is more by feeling, pure wild way.

Yellow algae has at least been trained to know what the key to archery is.

"First of all, we have to do individual assault hard training, and then form an arrow screen to shoot. Now this kind of archery, the most basic arrow curtain can't be formed. Seeing this situation, he was also quite anxious, but he didn't show anything on the surface.

Today, white buds replace yellow algae and are responsible for hunting. The main target is still wild fowl, and the expedition team needs more feathers to make arrow tails.

No one expected him to hunt enough food.

Individual hunting is very risky, the efficiency is actually very low, most of them are watching the sky and eating, testing luck.

Throughout the empire, the life of a hunter is actually very hard.

Therefore, as the saying goes: it is better to hunt than to graze, and it is better to graze than to farm.

Under normal circumstances, hunters do not have enough to eat. Compared with hunters and herders, farmers who farm the land have the most stable life and the most guaranteed quality of life.

Hunters seem to have a source of meat, but in fact, most of the mountains and forests are the territory of nobles, and hunters who poach without permission will be punished quite severely if caught.

In this situation, the exploration team can only rely on large-scale hunting to meet its own food consumption.

The day's training lasted from morning to evening, and after eating, the exploration team members had no heart to talk and laugh, and fell asleep in their tents.

In the tent of needle gold, Cangsu had a solemn face, reporting the current grim situation.

"Lord Needle Gold, we don't have much food, and we can say that we consume it a lot. If this continues, it won't last for a few days. ”

Needle Gold has a flat complexion and a calm mood.

He himself was very strange about this. In the past two days, his originally anxious mood gradually calmed down.

He adapted to this pressure, but instead comforted Cangsu: "We must train in archery, this matter is not urgent, we can only grit our teeth and persevere! Without basic archery, it is useless to go to war rashly." This kind of hard training does consume physical strength, which increases the consumption of food. But now consuming food and improving archery skills will reduce the number of people lost in future battles. It's a great deal. ”

"I understand, sir. Cangsu nodded, "It's just that in this way, our food is consumed violently, and everyone knows this, and the team members are very worried." ”

Needle Jin smiled: "Then tell them exactly how much rations we have left." And even, if necessary, let each of them see our food reserves with their own eyes. ”

Cang Xu's face changed slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "I understand, my lord." ”

Day 4

Range.

Despite the sore arms and even the obvious swelling, the members of the exploration team all looked serious, gritted their teeth, and practiced hard.

They are all aware of the food reserves in the team, and they have a very clear understanding of their situation - now they are desperate, and if the hunt fails, what awaits them is destruction!

Under this pressure, everyone worked hard and practiced their archery skills as hard as they could.

Although the results of the training in the early stage were not impressive, after everyone adapted, the situation of the arrow on the target improved greatly.

Arrows that hit the bullseye are rare, but most of them hit the target.

After seeing that the results of archery had stabilized, Huang Zao immediately moved away from the fixed target and replaced it with a moving target.

These moving targets are short wooden stakes with hemp ropes tied to them, and the other end of the rope hangs from a high branch. After pulling the stake high, he let go of his hand and the stake swayed under the tree.

Huang Zao asks the team members to shoot arrows at wooden stakes.

The results immediately slipped and became even worse than before!

No one complained, everyone knew that in actual combat, the flying squirrel moved faster than the stake, and the direction was more changeable.

Practice, keep practicing.

Every breath of time is very cherished.

At noon, the players were silent and the atmosphere was very solemn.

Many people are subconsciously frowning, constantly pondering and reflecting on what they can do to improve their marksmanship.

While resting in the tent, they also tried to make a bow, even if they didn't have a bow in their hands.

After training, the players kneaded each other's arms.

Many people can't lift their arms. The swollen arm is common to everyone.

Fortunately, there is a potion provided by purple dithery.

These potions were temporarily configured, originally suitable for the extraordinary, but now they are diluted and used on the bodies of these ordinary team members, and they still have a strong recovery effect.

These agents are used externally and internally, and after a night's rest, the arm can be basically restored.

At dinner, everyone was greeted with clear soup and little water.

Scattered wild vegetables seem to be garnished spices.

The faces of the team members changed, but they didn't say anything.

Everyone can understand the gravity of the situation.

"Beard, come out. The sound of needle gold came from afar.

"Why is that all for dinner?" Needle Gold seemed to question Beard.

"My lord, there is not enough food. That's all we can do!" replied Acansu.

Needle Gold retorted: "But as I recall, there are still some reserves. Not to that extent!"

"My lord, those are the only dry food left, left for you and Mistress Zidi. ”

"Take it all out. ”

"Your Excellency?"

"Take them all out! If you don't have enough to eat, how can you have the strength to train and fight?"

This conversation made the hearts of everyone who heard it fluctuate, and many people showed a touch of emotion.

"My lord, please let us strike. That night, some team members took the initiative to find the needle gold and asked to attack.

But Needle Gold rejected the request: "Train." You need more training!"

Day 5

Train, train, train!

In the evening, the results of the needle gold inspection were gratified to find that five arrows out of ten could hit the target.

The moving target is relatively large, much larger than a real flying squirrel. But this kind of achievement has reached the standard of needle gold.

He has never trained every member of the team to become a marksman, and it is impossible in a short period of time. Each person's qualifications actually determine the upper limit of archery.

But the arrow curtain can make up for the lack of accuracy.

This kind of archery can form a qualified arrow curtain.

In the afternoon, Cangsu also came to persuade Jin: "It's time to attack, my lord." ”

"Wait. "The needle gold is more firm.

This kind of concentration made him feel a little surprised.

ps: Recently, I found a very good public account called "Thirty-six Strategies for the Great Book Shortage", which professionally recommends and reviews novels. There are a lot of high-quality online novels recommended in the number, and I usually go to visit, so I especially recommend Amway to everyone, you can go and see it, it's very useful!
