Chapter 986: Sharpening Arrows in Battle
The Thorn Vine was originally not so smart, but the Wumu tribesmen are worthy of being good at raising plants, I don't know how they got it, in a short period of time, the Thorn Vine can perform some simple actions according to the instructions, such as throwing the corpse of the fierce beast into the city.
These beast carcasses are of great use.
Not only can their teeth and bones make arrows, but their flesh and blood are also used for drinking and food.
The Great War consumes a lot of physical strength, ordinary water is not enough to maintain physical exertion, and the water of different springs is limited, although the blood of the fierce beast tastes bad, it can not only replenish water but also maintain physical strength, which can be described as the best choice.
"Sting, stinging!"
"Sting!"
Many high-ranking warriors squatted on the ground, their arms muscles flushed, clutching the beast's fangs and rubbing wildly on the grinding stones, occasionally pouring a scoop on them, and a large amount of water vapor came up.
Once the arrows are polished, they are thrown aside, and there will be low-level warriors to pick them up.
The skilled winemaker is also bending down to pick up arrows.
Because the materials are different, so the length and thickness of the arrows are different, in addition to collecting the polished arrows, but also according to their length and thickness of the subdivision, and then use rattan to tie them into a large bundle.
"Do you have any arrows? I'm running out of arrows!"
"I'm running out of mine, I'll shoot my head first!"
A small group of air warbands hurried back to Xicheng.
A head of the sun bird squatted on the city wall, the long flight off the ground made their bodies hot, the city wall of the city of the doctor witch urgently cooled them down, and then replenished them with water and food.
"I don't need to eat, I want arrows!" said one of the Yang warriors, rejecting the food delivered to him, and said anxiously with an anxious look on his face.
The sheep under the city wall hurriedly shouted at them: "Yes, yes, here are freshly polished arrowsββ!
The eyes of the soldiers of Eryang lit up.
One by one, they moved neatly back to the back of the Yang Bird.
The huge sunbirds swooped down.
"Throw us ββ!!"
The sheep hurried to throw bundles of arrows to them.
All the arrows were freshly polished and hot, and some were even hot.
"Pick it up!"
The sheep was thrown upwards with all his might.
The soldier sitting on it leaned over and took the arrow, and the bird drew a perfect parabola in the air, and then flew high out of the defensive shield and flew out of the sky.
Soon, an air team of the Cang clan also returned to Xicheng to collect arrows.
Another Hong Clan's Pterodactyl team is back.
Then the army of thorn finches in Xicheng had no arrows......
Yang Yan watched the bundles of arrows around him shrink until they disappeared, and a large cold sweat condensed on his forehead, and anxiously ran around the Xicheng City, picking up the polished scattered arrows.
But in the end, the entire Xicheng only picked up a dozen bundles of arrows.
And look at the other people who picked up arrows, well, they collected less.
"What to do...... Not enough, not enough!"
The sheep was so anxious that he slapped himself on the thigh.
The person next to him smiled bitterly: "The arrows are made of the hardest beast teeth and bones, usually an arrow needs to be polished for several days, but now it depends on so many soldiers above the sixth level to polish desperately to make so many arrows in such a short time." β
"And the number of grinding stones is there, there are no more......"
Now it is a few warriors around a sharpening stone, and when one of them is tired and his hand speed slows down, he immediately changes to the top of the other.
The grinding stone was rubbed into sparks by this grinding method, and it was about to catch fire, and it was all up to the people next to him to keep pouring water and dousing the fire, which could be maintained.
Ye Xi also found that the speed of the arrows could not keep up with this problem.
He immediately made a decision, and immediately summoned the chief of Gongtao, and instructed him: "Continue to use animal teeth and bones for the arrows, and change the body of the arrow to wood." β
Chief Gongtao was a little embarrassed when he heard this: "But, where should I go to find wood?"
Except for the trees inside the defensive shield that are still intact, all the trees outside have been trampled into powder by the tide of fierce beasts, and the trees in Xicheng, such as the Red Sycamore Tree, Luan Tree, and Ancient Mulberry Tree, are either useful.
Ye Xi was silent for a moment: "There is still some wood in the city treasury, and there is also some wood in my private treasury, and then collect the wooden tables and chairs of each family, and use all that can be used." β
Chief Gongtao immediately received the order: "Yes!"
The entire Xicheng city was running at full capacity to supply the arrows.
But Rao is like this, the arrows of the air team are still not enough.
The ferocious winged dragons wandered in the sky, and the warriors took their arrows and bows, and drew their bowstrings full of arrows to aim downwards, but they did not let go of their arrows.
The leader beasts were very cunning, and when they found out about the unfavorable situation, they all drove the giant beasts to cover them, especially the tortoises, or those with heavy carapaces, and built huge mountain bags on them one after another, covering themselves tightly and impermeable.
In this case, even a marksman would not be able to kill the Boss Beast with a single arrow.
The pterodactyls spewed hot steam underneath.
However, their strength is still a little worse, and they can't kill the leader beast hiding in the deepest part, but a few pterodactyls are dragged down by the tide of fierce beasts when they dive, killing and engulfing.
"Phew-"
The cormorant flew over with a clear song.
βββββ
Frightened to death when he found the cormorant coming, the leader beast shrank deeper, frantically calling for more beasts to cover it.
The cormorant flew in front of him.
The cormorant opened its beak underneath.
And then spewed at the giant tortoise on top...... A wisp of white flame with a steam?
This white flame was as pitiful as a candle in the wind, and it was extinguished by the wind as soon as it appeared. Snort, the grebe spewed two hot breaths from her nose in disbelief and rage.
Cang Xin persuaded it: "You go back and rest first, your flame is not endless, it needs to be restored." β
The cormorant glanced at Cang Xin, but he was not reckless, and angrily used his wings to fly the giant tortoise, and then turned around and returned to Xicheng.
Cang Xin ordered everyone.
"Fly higher ββ!"
The tide of fierce beasts on the ground is not completely helpless against the birds in the air, there are fierce beasts with strong jumping ability, some fierce beasts that can spray venom into the sky, and some fierce beasts that can fly out of sharp thorns, and they will be hit if they are not careful.
Now they can only kill the giant beasts that are blocking the outside as fast as they can, and then kill the exposed leader beasts immediately before the rest of the beasts are covered.
It is ten miles away from Cangxin's team.
Great Yan's team is also in danger of running out of arrows.
When he returned to Xicheng just now, each soldier only got two arrows, and now even if he returns to Xicheng, he can't get arrows to replenish them.
Da Yan looked at the two precious arrows in the quiver, gritted his teeth, and his heart was crossed, determined to take the risk of flying down a little, looking for the gap, and seeing if he could kill the leader beast below in the most economical way.
"Let's go down!"
