Chapter 234: Preparing for War
The festival was finally over, and the boiling village suddenly became silent.
Adults who have suffered a lot of blood loss are physically and mentally exhausted, and they are all sleeping heavily, recuperating their spirits, and it took two full days of sleep to relieve their physical strength.
The carnival was over, and it was time to get down to business, so the guests hurriedly packed up and returned with the women they had exchanged, only the women from the Kunuma Department remained in the Ryuzawa Department.
Because they have already decided to take refuge in the dragon son, and the whole clan will soon move here, there is no need to bring women back and forth.
In addition, the accompanying warriors of Kunuma were almost all killed by the snake demon, and there was no personnel to escort them, so only Jiang Dayu and the three of them rode back to rectify the soldiers and horses.
Several tribes agreed that each tribe would send elite warriors, and after ten days, they would gather all of them at the mouth of the valley of the abandoned village, and then join forces to attack.
Blind Huai and Huang Cai felt that ten days was too long, and they were afraid that their villagers would not be able to hold on and be anxious, but there was no way.
Because the other three clans had to walk for seven or eight days just to go back and forth, plus the preparation time, ten days was too tight, and only the time of the Longze Department was a little more abundant.
The two persuaded Long Zi to send the warriors of Long Ze to the rescue first, but Long Jing resolutely disagreed.
Who knows what the real situation of the abandoned village is, the power of the ancestor of Ghost Qiao is unfathomable, and the power of the ancestor's side is not clear, he doesn't want to take risks.
If only one of the tribes of the Longze tribe enters, in case of an accident that causes the power of the Longze tribe to be greatly damaged, then his plan to unify the Hidden Dragon Valley will be in vain. It is necessary to lose, and it is necessary for everyone to lose together.
In short, it is better to be safe, the forces of several tribes are combined, and it is definitely better than going deep alone.
Moreover, he also has plans to annex other tribes, and he must march and fight with other tribe warriors before he can start. Of course, I won't agree with Blind Huai's suggestion.
Huang Cai was helpless, and planned to go back to report to the people in the village and inform everyone of the news that reinforcements were coming, so as to strengthen everyone's will to resist, but Huai Huai stopped her.
Several ancestors wandered outside the village like ghosts, and it was impossible for anyone to escape their eyes, and Huang Cai used to be sent to death, and there was no point in dying.
When the two were depressed, Shui Li of the Shanyang Department offered to help them deliver the letter.
Everyone was very surprised when they heard it, Long Zi had no confidence in the face of that ghost Qiao, what ability did this Shui Li have to dare to say such a big thing? Aren't you afraid of being killed by the ancestors?
The people of the other tribes were puzzled, but the people of the Shanyang tribe were smiling and not worried at all, and at the same time recommended Shui Li to Long Jing, suggesting that she accompany Huang Cai to deliver the letter.
Long Jing saw that they were so confident and knew that Shui Li must have special abilities, so he agreed. In addition, he asked Bakabaka to accompany the second daughter to explore the terrain near the canyon by the way.
After sending off the guests, the village quickly returned to normal, and as soon as it was relieved, the great chief issued a conscription order. The morale of the villagers was very high, and they immediately threw themselves into intense production and preparations.
……
"Are you ready?"
The dragon spirit patrolled the warehouse, asking a few elders.
Shi Pan reported: "Stone tools are still not enough. ”
"Oh?" Long Jing was puzzled, looked at the mountains of stone tools in the warehouse, and said, "There are so many stone tools, it should be enough, right?" ”
Shi Pan shook his head and said, "Last time we went to the swamp, we brought three times the stone tools, but we only fought one battle, and they were consumed. This time, in order to ensure that there were no problems, it was necessary to carry at least five times as many stone tools. ”
"That's right." The dragon spirit is clear.
Although the stone tool is sharp, it is very easy to break, you can think of it as glass ballast, sharp and brittle, and it is basically useless when it touches a hard object.
Even if it is used against soft targets, such as human and animal skins and flesh, it will often break due to the struggle of the other party.
The aborigines usually carry several short spears and spearheads when they go hunting, because after hitting the prey, the stone weapon can hardly be used, and must be repaired and replaced in time.
It's like this for hunting, let alone fighting.
The two warriors fought with all their might, wielding the weapons in their hands, and they would inevitably fight each other, and at the slightest touch, the flint shattered, and after a few rounds of fighting, there was only one stick left in each side.
Compared to thin and brittle sharp objects, blunt instruments are much more durable. Therefore, when fighting humans, experienced warriors will carry blunt weapons.
The correct way to use a long-handled sharp weapon is to use it as a disposable weapon, which is used for throwing or assault, and then to a blunt weapon when it comes to the grappling stage.
However, no matter how durable a blunt tool is, it is also a stone tool, and it will shatter when knocked on a hard object, so it is better to use a large wooden stick directly, at least it will not be broken. Therefore, many people's weapons are wooden sticks.
It is precisely because of the fragility of stone tools that some stone tools are consumed every time you hunt, and when fighting humans, because of the larger scale, more stone tools are scrapped.
Therefore, the natives already have experience, and they must prepare enough stone tools to replace them before the war, otherwise they can only beat each other with sticks, and their combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced.
"Well, Elder Shi is very thoughtful."
Long Jing didn't pay attention to these details, but he didn't expect that his subordinates had already done things well, and he was very satisfied with Shi Pan's ability to do things.
He stood in front of the pile of stone tools, looked at the rows of stone knives, spearheads, arrow clusters, stone axes, stone hammers, etc., and said: "There are a lot of them, we only sent a hundred people to fight this time, these are more than enough, right?" ”
Because the enemy facing is mainly a few powerful combat forces, and it is impossible to use too many people, so several villages discussed and decided to send only a few elite warriors to fight.
The Longze Department has the most people, counting the share of the people from Mangrove Village, there are only 100 people in total, and 30 people from the Shanyang Department and the Zhuogong Department.
Because the Kunuma Department had just been slaughtered by the snake demon, the losses were all the good hands in the clan, and the strength was greatly reduced, so it could only send ten people. However, they can still take out ten crocodiles, and their combat power is not weaker than the other two.
Shi Pan looked at the dragon spirit and said with a strange expression: "Not only for us, but also for other villages." ”
"None of them have concentrated their hands on large-scale stone tools like us, and the stone tools in their hands are all made by individuals, and the number is very small, only two or three pieces per person, and they can only fight one or two battles at most."
"Therefore, our Ryuze Department must support them with enough stone tools, so that they will not lose their weapons and lose their combat effectiveness. This was proposed by Ryuko himself, how did you forget? ”
"Me?" Long Jing couldn't think of it for a while, knowing that this must be the sequelae of his excessive indulgence, he couldn't help but blush, and hurriedly said: "Oh, I remembered, I said it." ”
Thinking of this, his eyes swept to the female Luo beside him.
But seeing Nu Luo's serious face, she didn't have the charm of fighting with her for 300 rounds that day, and her expression couldn't help but be a little trance, like a dream.
