Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Crossbow

The bodies of the tribe's dead were left for three days, and Qin Yue held a grand funeral ceremony for them, and wrote a eulogy to commemorate their heroic sacrifice, which was technically the first funeral on the continent.

A solemn and solemn funeral.

The corpses were laid out on wooden rafts, surrounded by wild flowers, and the tribesmen carried the corpses to be buried near the winding jungle behind the tribe, with wooden plaques written on them in front of three small earthen slopes like graves.

Qin Yue told the others that they could come and worship them on this day, and that they would go to heaven when they died, where life was beautiful.

Yanu, Kakuyan and others were shocked in their hearts, in the past, the tribesmen were thrown into the caves in the back mountains when they died, and most of the corpses were taken by wild beasts and became the belly of wild beasts.

Later, Qin Yue Liang Jian came to the Black Rock Tribe and told them that the corpse needed to be buried in the soil, just to prevent the outbreak of the plague, and now it seemed to open a new door for them to understand the meaning of death.

They have a deeper understanding of death, and that the dead should be remembered by the living.

In later days, the Yanhuang tribe continued the tradition of martyrdom, gradually affecting the entire continent.

And this sudden battle made Liang Jian realize that the bow and arrow are not everything, and constantly strengthen his body and flexibly deal with the enemy's tricks in order to reduce the casualties of the tribe.

If you want to improve your combat strength, in addition to hard fists, it is particularly necessary to improve weapons and tools, and the first weapons that primitive people bear the brunt of the battle are stone knives, stone axes, stone spears, wooden spears, etc., and these weapons and tools are either bulky or too weak in lethality.

Sharp bronze and iron tools require copper ore and iron ore, and Liang Jian has been silently observing clay and rock during his hunting, and has not found any trace of these two mines.

The stone spear is directly tied to the wooden stick with rattan, and the wooden spear is a wooden pole that is sharpened and hardened, so he combines the characteristics of the stone spear and the wooden spear, sharpens the animal bones into a blade, inlays them on the top of the wooden spear, and wraps them tightly with fine rattan to make a bone spear.

It is lightweight and has strong puncture strength. At the same time, many dagger-shaped bone knives were sharpened, and the hilt was wrapped around animal skin, so that it could be held in close quarters to sneak up on the enemy.

At the same time, he trained his tribesmen while hunting, fought the beasts in close combat, and gradually, even if they did not have bows and arrows, they were able to face the ferocious beasts fearlessly.

The intense training did not crush the tribesmen, and the fierce battle greatly boosted their fighting spirit with fewer victories, and under the high fighting spirit, they became more and more eager to try.

The affairs of the tribe were left to Liang Jian, and Qin Yue was only responsible for treating the wounded, and the rough-skinned man recovered and devoted himself to training within a few days.

She watched with great interest as they attacked each other, but when she looked down, she saw Liang Jian frowning, holding a branch and writing and drawing in the clearing.

"What is this? It looks like a bow and arrow, but it doesn't look like it. She pointed to the picture on the ground, a little confused.

"A crossbow, also called a crossbow. He drew more details, the shape of the bow and arrow in front of him, with a wooden arm in the center, and a groove in the wooden arm that appeared to be where the arrow was placed, "The crossbow can be shot from a distance, and it can be extremely lethal, and it can also shoot several arrows in unison." ”

Qin Yue's eyes widened, she had heard of crossbows, but she had never understood the structure, and she had never been interested in weapons and other things.

Now that Liang Jian was able to draw the design of the crossbow, and understood the power of the crossbow, she was pleasantly surprised: "Can you make it?"

Liang Jian drew the last stroke, looked up at her and smiled, calm and relaxed: "Naturally, I will show it to you in a few days." ”

He did what he said, and within three days, a delicate and small crossbow was made, which not only had a long range but also was extremely accurate, and even Shi Qing, who had repeatedly shot a crooked bow and arrow, could shoot a wooden rake.

After the first one was made, the rest was simple, but unfortunately there was not enough cow tendon to make the bowstring, and the tribe only made a dozen crossbows, but this was enough.

You must know that in ancient times, a small soldier with a cross crossbow could shoot many people, Liang Jian integrated the tribesmen and redivided them into two squads, one practiced wooden spears and fighting skills, and the other practiced cross crossbows to ensure that the arrows were not missed.

The tribe is sparsely populated, and many things gradually reveal the disadvantage of insufficient numbers, Liang Jian rode a horse and took Yanu and Dashan to the black wolf tribe again.

He gave the tribe a mustal that had been carefully trained for a month or two, gave it to the leader of the black wolf as a greeting gift, and told him that the foal he had promised would also come the following year.

Forcefully took out a dozen bows and arrows, exchanged a hundred slaves with the Black Wolf Tribe, and promised to teach the Black Wolf Tribe warriors to learn to use bows and arrows to hunt.

The black wolf was shocked, exchanging a hundred slaves to the Yanhuang tribe was not a trivial matter, with the strength of the Yanhuang tribe, a hundred more people were enough to make them stronger, but he was really excited about the bow and arrow that could hunt from a distance.

The bow and arrow of the Xiong tribe has always been regarded as a treasure by the leader, and only the strongest warriors of the tribe are qualified to use it, and this time Liang Jian decisively took out more than a dozen bows and arrows to exchange with him.

After several hours of negotiation with the many elders and warriors of the Black Wolf Tribe, the Black Wolf agreed to come down and let Yanmu bring out a hundred slaves from the cave.

A hundred slaves are all men, even if they are slaves, women are still extremely important to the tribe, so the black wolf is only willing to exchange male ** subordinates.

Most of these hundred people are young adults, as well as more than a dozen teenage children, most of the older ones can't survive after being slaves, they are also thin and weak, Qin Yue stewed meat for more than ten days before he fattened them up.

Similarly, after the sacrifice to the god of fire and the change of faith, these slaves quickly incorporated into the tribe, Liang Jian divided the ten people into a small team, led by the old man of the tribe, and quickly familiarized themselves with the tribal environment.

The Yanhuang tribe built dozens of houses, dividing the streets and houses in an orderly manner, and the open space was a public place where the tribe gathered.

The newcomers were extremely curious about all this, but they didn't dare to ask, silently learning the living habits of the old people of the tribe, brushing their teeth and washing their faces every day, kicking off their dirty hair, and the beggar-like people suddenly took on a new look.

Qin Yue was very pleased with such a change, this subtle influence could greatly promote their progress, thus giving birth to a great civilization.

The Yanhuang tribesmen were accustomed to fertilizing the manure in the fields in the public toilets, and the newcomers were a little unaccustomed at first, but after being reprimanded by Dashan and others a few times, they gradually got used to it.

Qin Yue borrowed ten people from Liang Jian, and Ah Meng led the team to ponder all kinds of wooden furniture, while the rest followed Liang Jian to continue training.

Now that there is enough food and the living environment has been greatly improved, everyone in the tribe is satisfied, but Qin Yue and Liang Jian want more than that.

Not to mention the threat in the jungle, even the Barberry tribe will never let go of the Yanhuang tribe, they must always be cautious and ready to prevent the enemy from attacking.

And there are many inconveniences in life, which makes Qin Yue's irritability during pregnancy a little more, Rao is Liang Jian follows her everywhere, and she still can't control her temper.

She decided to find something to do for herself, holding the pen and notebook in her bag, remembering how to make simple tools in her mind, when the sound of a popping on the fire interrupted her.

The clay pot with the soup cracked into pieces, and the soup extinguished the fire, and she suddenly had a headache, this was the only clay pot in the tribe, and the green fruit husk had already been retired and could no longer be used, and a replacement had not yet been found.

I didn't expect the clay pot to blow up too.

She thought about it for a while, called Ah Liang to call Ah Meng over, and asked Ah Meng to take a few people to dig a few boxes of different types of soil and come back, and she was ready to start firing pottery.

However, she didn't know how to fire, she only knew that the firing of pottery had a lot to do with temperature and soil, and she had always had a backup and didn't put it on the agenda, and now she wanted to try it, and she didn't believe that the people she had received a modern education were not as good as primitive people.
