Volume 2: The Loose World Chapter 184: (Retest) The whole clan prepares for battle
Besides, even if they were lucky enough to escape, what about the Wood Waiting Department? The Wood Waiting Department had no time to react, there were no preparations, and what was waiting for the tribe would be a blow of destruction, and there was no possibility of sparing.
The team that serves must stay in the royal department in order to buy buffer time for the tribe, big deal, wait for the tribe to be ready, and then take the risk to come to Zhanwang Mountain, find other excuses, and transfer the team back.
What the tribe needs most is time, so far, only he can compete with the late-stage warriors, it is difficult to support alone, Muyou has been promoted to the middle stage for more than fifty years, and he will be able to break through to the late stage soon.
If he can break through smoothly, the late-stage warriors of the tribe will have two people at the same time, and they will also have a little confidence in the face of the War King Department, and if the others are not possible, it is not possible for the time being, Mu Yu is not talented enough, and the fire time is insufficient.
Take advantage of the time, whether to flee or fight, whether to go overseas, or to take refuge in the Wind King Department, the tribe can also discuss it, and then make proper deployments. Ten years of time must be earned! There is no room for error!
......
After returning from the War King's Department, the military camp and the senior officials of the tribe, the patriarchs and elders of the five clans, started a secret discussion, and this matter could not be told to the clansmen for the time being, otherwise, it might cause panic and panic.
Most of the high-level people support the refuge in the Wind King Department and fight against the War King Department, and a small number of high-level people are willing to temporarily avoid the edge and flee to settle overseas, and the tribe has been developing in the jungle for many years, how can they say that they will give up?
Not to mention anything else, the huge jungle wall has been repaired in half, and the resources consumed are unimaginably large, so can it be handed over to the War King's Department, and all the hard work will be wasted?
The point is that there are many dangers overseas, the navy has not yet been found, and a suitable survival base is full of too many unpredictables, but the coastal trade team has made progress and has traded with the Ministry of Maritime Weather many times.
The two sides have established good trade relations, and the war on the coast has also subsided for many years, after all, if harmony can make money, who wants to fight to the death?
In the past, when the forest waiting department was there, the two tribes were reluctant to communicate, and if there was any need, they would directly start to rob it.
Because of the topography, the Sea Weather Department is far away from the Wind King Department, surrounded by the War King Department, and faces the Forest Hou Department and the Mountain Hou Department at the same time, and the two sides are fighting at the same time, which is already difficult to support, and I wish there were fewer and fewer wars.
Over the years, there have been many materials exported, and the Wood Hou Department has deeply conquered the coast with spices, fine pottery and cloth clothes, and a large number of alien races have developed a dependency mentality, just waiting for the trading team to arrive.
The most important thing is that the price of the trading team is reasonable, and it cannot be said that it is reasonable, but the things they need are all specialties of the coast, which are easy to find and collect, and what they sell are all rare things.
Through more than 30 years of coastal trade, the trading team also brought back a lot of things, such as dates, pineapples, black pines, mangroves, groupers, palms, banyan trees, tung flowers, sea sppon vegetables, and seeds.
There are even kelp, seaweed, seaweed, lobster, crab, sea urchin, abalone, squid, and ...... The navy can also dive into the sea, and there are animal repellent powder and animal repellent grass, which can effectively avoid losses and will not be attacked by sea beasts.
However, their bodies are limited and they cannot dive too deep, while the people of the sea waiting department can breathe underwater, have special scaly skin, and have a strong ability to resist pressure, and special species in the deep sea can also be collected.
The edge of the rocky mountain and the main part are both sandy beaches near the sea, and there are also a few bays, but they are a little barren and have few species, but the area is good, and the closer to the main part, the higher the survival rate.
The grassland outside the headquarters was beaten down by the war team and became the pasture of the tribe, and the giant tortoises and long-necked dinosaurs on the coast were also hunted and driven, and the dangerous species near the sea were basically cleaned up.
On both sides of the coast, high walls were built to prevent wild beasts from approaching, and large areas of palms, dates, coconuts, pineapples, palms and banyan trees were planted on the beach, and the nearby seaside beach became a recreation ground for the tribes.
The people who have nothing to do like to come to bask in the sun, drink coconut water, play in the sand, and the farther offshore area is a training ground for sailors, and the river channel has been widened, and a dock for boats has been built at the mouth of the river.
Not long after, the high-level meeting ended, the minority obeyed the majority, and the tribe passed a resolution and decided to take refuge in the Wind King's Department, ask for help and confess to the Ministry of Naval Weather, and seize the time to speed up the construction of the jungle wall.
Originally, the huge walls on all sides, north and east, and the area near the coast, were basically abandoned for construction, and the main forces were transferred to the south and west, especially the west, which was the direction from which the war king's department came.
At the same time, the radicals also made concessions, willing to give the conservatives the only chance left to organize the last trip to the sea to find overseas territories.
After returning, he concentrated his strength, prepared for the war with all his might, and played against the Naval Waiting Department. Faced with the last chance, the conservatives moved seriously, made great efforts, collected a large number of supplies, and prepared an ocean-going team.
The tribe has two large docks, one in the outer city of the big lake, which is a training base, and the other is in the seaside harbor, which is a combat base.
A five-man sloop, a ten-man sloop, a twenty-man brig, a fifty-man three-masted schooner, a hundred-man five-masted schooner, a three-masted schooner of three hundred, and a thousand-man bronze heavy ship.
The hull is made of poplar wood, which has high strength, corrosion resistance, and is strong and durable, and the sisal oil cloth used for the sail is extremely resistant to wear and tear, and the rope is also a sisal cable, which has a strong tensile force and a bronze anchor to fix.
The usual voyage is divided into long and close trips, the long trip is held once every five years, the close trip is held every year, the close tour sails for 30 days, 300 soldiers, on five five-masted galleons, ten three-masted schooners, and twenty dhows.
The five-year voyage was even larger, lasting three months, with a thousand sailors on a bronze heavy ship, three seven-masted galleons, five five-masted galleons, ten three-masted galleons, and twenty two-masted sailing ships.
There were also fifty sloops, and the number of warriors traveling was much lower than the carrying limit of a sailing ship, because they needed to carry a lot of supplies, supplies could not be obtained, and going to sea was risky, so they had to be prepared at all times.
This time, however, the tribe made a heavy investment, raising an ocean-going fleet of 3,000 men, using five seven-masted galleons, ten five-masted galleons, twenty three-masted galleons, fifty brigs, and a hundred sloops.
Three bronze heavy ships were used, the bronze heavy ships were multi-masted galleons, made of thousand-year-old poplar wood, mixed with bronze, which could carry thousands of people, and the hull was heavy and steady, but the speed of progress was very slow.
However, there are two giant ships on the ship, which can help the operation of the heavy ship, the bronze heavy ship is extremely attained, the production process is cumbersome, and the manpower consumption is huge, and the tribe has only five heavy ships until now, which shows the importance of it.
All the 1,500 soldiers of the sailor battalion were brought to the ocean-going fleet, along with 300 medics, 300 equipment, 300 archers, 300 crossbowmen, 200 horse cavalry, and 100 wolf cavalry.
Wolf warriors and war horses can swim in the water, and at sea, they can also exert their combat power, ocean sailing, the biggest shackles, not bad weather, not huge sea beasts, but scarce fresh water and vitamins.
Especially fresh water, scarce fresh water, is the biggest factor that restricts navigation, the isolated islands that the tribe has found so far, there are no fresh water resources, and the fresh water carried is almost drunk, and it needs to be returned to the tribe to replenish.
Fresh water is the most important reason for the delay in overseas expansion. The newly discovered island may have freshwater resources, but the indigenous people are not friendly and extremely repulsive to outsiders.
Those primitive people on the sea are extremely difficult, and the number is not low, as far as their fleet is concerned, the number is too small, the strength is limited, and they can't fight at all, so they can only stay away, don't provoke, and avoid it from afar.
The utensils for releasing water on the ship are still planted big gourds, there are more wind and waves at sea, the itinerary is bumpy, and it is held in a clay jar, which is easy to pour out, and is more likely to collide and break, and it is far less than the gourd in terms of practicality.
The gourd of the headquarters is big enough, can hold 20 catties of fresh water, enough for 10 people to drink a day, 3,000 people of the ocean team, can consume 300 gourds a day, this trip, scheduled for half a year, loaded with more than 50,000 gourds.
The gourd alone could fill two heavy ships, but instead of doing so, the tribe divided it up, half in three heavy ships, and half evenly divided among the seven-masted, five-masted, and three-masted galleons.
There are risks in the ocean, even if it is a heavy ship, there is a possibility of capsizing, so that it can be divided evenly, which can effectively avoid losses, in addition to fresh water resources, there are many materials, which also need to be carried, which is essential.
It can quickly replenish energy, and the weight is small, all kinds of sugar and starch blocks, spirits and ginger slices for seasickness, that is, sailors who often go to sea, and occasionally encounter seasickness, not to mention other fighters.
Most of the warriors of the tribe have been on boats, they can sit in small boats and big boats, sit on the water and sit on the sea, the experience is completely different, many people are difficult to adapt, in addition to the body resistance, it can also be alleviated with medicine.
Holding ginger slices in your mouth can effectively relieve symptoms, and moderate alcohol consumption can also cause paralysis of consciousness, and then quickly adapt, of course, citrus must also be brought on board after freshwater.
When they first went to sea, many sailors and soldiers drifted on the sea for too long, and there were bleeding gums, weak limbs, and loss of appetite.
When Mu Huo knew about this, he asked them to bring citrus and eat some from time to time, and the strange thing was that such a strange disease disappeared quickly, and the people who didn't know the reason spread the matter to the mystery.
During that time, citrus was almost regarded as an omnipotent panacea, which led to a sharp increase in prices, and there was no market.
The sailors suffered from nothing more than scurvy, wandering at sea for too long, and not eating fresh vegetables for a long time, resulting in a lack of vitamins, and citrus, which contains a lot of vitamins, just to make up for what they need.
Not only citrus, but also other fruits, more or less, also have vitamins, but the effect is lower, not as good as citrus, the people will be skeptical, and find that this is the case, the craze of citrus will slowly fade down.
Since then, citrus has become the most important material for sailors to go to sea, in addition to fresh water, and at the same time, it has also produced a lot of dehydrated vegetables, which do not weigh much on the ship, but can improve the diet.
In addition to ordinary warriors, there are also five special warriors who participate in the ocean, Qingwang, Lin Shuang, Mu Qi, Mu Yi, and Mu Huo, who takes the initiative to contact, among them, Qingwang and Lin Shuang are the middle stage, and Mu Huo is the Great Witch.
Qingwang is the commander of the sailor battalion, and he is not good at fighting, but he is good at observing movements, has clairvoyance and ears for the wind, and is very good at swimming.
Lin Shuang's ability is ice, in the sea, there is also a lot of amplification, the combat ability is very strong, the wood of Mu Yi, the speed of Mu Yi, will not be disturbed, and the combat power of wood fire may be somewhat affected.
Jing Tie tree soldiers can't be carried, the tree soldiers are too heavy, can't float, and if they are carried on the boat, it will increase the burden, but fortunately, the underwater plants are very rich, he can use them at will, and he also brought a lot of seeds, which can be used as he goes.
