Chapter 182: Preparing for War
"How many?"
Song Xuan also treated the Black Feather Tribe as an ordinary tribe at first, but now it seems that he really underestimated them.
I saw that the rain shook his head and said:
"Not a lot, not everyone has it!"
This is a blessing in misfortune, if all the black feathers use this weapon, the advantage over the Teng snake will suddenly expand a few points.
However, this conversation made others very confused.
"What are you talking about, oracle?"
Since the enemy has a special weapon, he naturally has to explain it clearly to everyone, even if there is no good way to deal with it, at least he can't be as reckless as usual.
"Metal, this arrow is made of metal stone!"
"Metal?!"
"Oracle, is that the one you usually say?"
“……”
Although no metal ore has been found in the tribe, Song Xuan will popularize it for everyone from time to time, at least from the news heard from Song Xuan's mouth, everyone already knows the power of metal, and just one will not wear out easily, which is enough to frighten everyone.
I saw Song Xuan nodded, then shook his head and said:
"Well, but this one is still ore!"
"It's not as powerful as metal weapons, but you have to be careful!"
Aside from arrows and javelins, the most dangerous time is when the hand-to-hand combat is the case, but fortunately the tribe has a simple shield, although not perfect, but it should not be difficult to block this weapon made of ore.
Song Xuan felt that if they really mastered the refining method, they should also apply it to arrows first, after all, the amount of arrows used is relatively small, and the benefits are relatively large, and the metal used in a stone axe is estimated to be able to make dozens of arrowheads.
Of course, it is not ruled out that Wu Yu has already mastered the possibility of refining, if this is the case, the pressure on Teng Snake will suddenly be much greater.
But no matter what, in the face of the approaching Black Feather Alliance, it is naturally impossible for Teng Snake to escape or surrender.
Although I don't know how the bow and arrow of the Wuyu tribe is, judging from the description of the kite, it should not be much worse than Teng Snake's, although Teng Snake has improved the bow and arrow, but it is mainly on the arrow, and the bow body itself has not changed much.
Although the enemy has not yet arrived, after a simple meal, everyone began to prepare, and even the iris rain and they were involved, and there was no time for them to adapt to the life of the snake at this time.
The first thing to deal with is the dense forest around you, if not to mention that there is at least enough buffer space.
The method is also very simple, that is, just set fire to it just like opening up a new field, but for safety, the isolation zone still needs to be cut out in advance, and this is exactly what everyone is doing now.
Song Xuan had already had the idea of expanding the tribe, so he took the opportunity to get it together, and then rebuilt the tribe later, so he didn't have to think about this aspect.
Therefore, Song Xuan planned to expand the open space on several sides to at least about one hundred and fifty meters, so that even if the tribe expanded in the future, there would still be enough places to apply.
Fortunately, there are more people in the tribe, the fire has already burned at sunset, and there is no trace of black feathers around the tribe, Song Xuan sent people to set up several sentinels around the tribe, once there is a disturbance, they can also notify the tribe in advance.
The matter is urgent, and after the open space is burned out, it will not be leveled much, anyway, it will be used as a battlefield, and the chaotic situation can also cause some interference to the incoming enemy, and some traps can also be arranged in it at that time, even if it can't cause too much damage to the enemy, it is okay to slow down the enemy's pace and disgust them.
At dinner, Song Xuan also officially informed everyone of the news.
"Wow~"
Although everyone already knew the situation, it was different from Song Xuan's mouth, and at the same time, Song Xuan also introduced Kite Yu and others, and also told about what happened to the Kite tribe.
Now that the situation is so critical, Kite Rain naturally can't hold any rituals like the Black Water and the Sheep Tribe, and everything can only be said after the war.
From today onwards, everyone will need to stay in the tribe in the future, and under normal circumstances, you can't stay away from the tribe, once you run away, it is easy to not be able to return to the tribe when the enemy attacks you.
All kinds of supplies must also be stockpiled as soon as possible, especially water.
Although a small canal was brought from upstream for the daily use of the tribe, it was still living water, and although there was also a small cistern, it did not take much time.
Usually it is only used to hold a few water tanks, which is not a problem to meet the needs of a day or two, but if you need to face the siege of the enemy, it is a little reluctant.
So it's imperative to save enough water.
Although it is impossible to confront each other for too long, it is not uncommon if the enemy's attack is thwarted and the enemy stops in time.
Teng Snake and the others have not experienced any decent battles, and of course Song Xuan has not experienced it personally, but they can still understand some from all aspects, at least theoretically they know much more than Teng Snake and others.
Although the battles in this era are dominated by force, if you can think about it more, it will obviously have more advantages.
It is not difficult to store a small amount of water, everyone takes out all the jars and jars, and at the same time, there are not a few large vats in the warehouse, and now they have to be used, whether it can come in handy or not, there is always nothing wrong with being prepared
First of all, I am now ready to expand the reservoir in the tribe, compared with the jar jar, a pool can hold a lot more water, and it has not been used much before, the main reason is that it is too small, it is not convenient to take water, and it does not look particularly clean, but if it can be expanded, and at the same time it is leveled, it should not be a problem to meet daily use.
The biggest construction of the tribe is that Song Xuan is ready to renovate the wall, although the tribe's wall is very strong now, it is still a normal style, and it is very smooth and there are not too many ups and downs.
If you are facing an ordinary tribe, there is naturally no problem with such a wall, and it is very suitable for everyone, after the attack, you will go out to pursue the enemy, but after all, you are facing the black feather tribe, they have plenty of long-range weapons, especially bows and arrows.
Although hiding inside the wall will not be shot by a bow and arrow, in the face of enemy attacks, you always have to lean out, and leaning out in front of a mature archer is basically equivalent to putting your life in his hands.
At least most of the people in Teng Snake can accurately shoot the humanoid target at a distance of thirty meters, and Song Xuan is ready to modify the wall, at least without asking everyone to stretch out their entire bodies.
The method is also simple, that is, increase the height by a short distance at a distance, just like the battlements of the city wall, so that even if you stand up, you can shoot sideways, at least the exposed body area will be much smaller.
And it's not so easy to climb in such a wall, since it's done, and the time is tight, Song Xuan doesn't pay attention to reasonableness, and directly increases the battlement wall by one meter, so that if you want to climb in, you can only pass through the gap in the middle.
Comparatively speaking, attacking from the inside is more targeted, as long as you hold the spear and wait below.
Early the next morning, everyone entered the vigorous transformation, everything was as much as possible according to Song Xuan's standards, after a night of burning, there were only stars left on the surrounding clearing.
The view of the tribe suddenly became empty, and now it could even be seen directly from the tribe to the end of the river due to the loss of the shelter of the forest downstream.
The boats in Ship Bay have also been pulled back into the tribe, and if they are placed outside, they will inevitably be destroyed by the enemy, and even if they are not used, if they are damaged, it will take some time to rebuild.
Other than that, there were no buildings outside the tribe other than pigsty and kilns.
The wild boars that were caught last time have adapted quite well, except for two that insisted on not eating and were slaughtered, the others have already begun to eat, but they can't see people yet.
Moreover, this group of wild boars is even more fierce than when they were caught, and as soon as they see someone entering it, they will rush into it in a daze.
Every time Shi Yan is fed, he can only quietly go over and leave, and sometimes he will be targeted by them even outside, but he hits the fence of the pigsty.
Although the temper is not particularly good, wild boars are not picky eaters, and basically eat whatever they are fed, grass roots, and wild fruits, which is the best livestock in the tribe.
If the Wuyu tribe came to attack the Teng snake, it would definitely not work to put them outside, although the tribe was tense, but Song Xuan still arranged a small place for them, and placed it in the corner of the southwest of the tribe, which was not easy to defend against the back hillside, so it was better to put the pigs here.
If someone sneaks in, it is estimated that this group of wild boars will also teach them a good lesson.
Wild boars are easy to solve, it is nothing more than to make a small pigsty again, but it does not need to be the same size as the outside, anyway, it is used temporarily, as long as it is strong enough.
If it weren't for the fact that there were nearly 200 people in the tribe at once, it might not be able to be busy.
As for the brick kiln, Song Xuan must be reluctant to dismantle it, after all, it was built with great effort, even if there are enough bricks now, it can't be put into use in three or five days.
And as for the brick kiln and the tribe, there is a certain distance, but I am not afraid that the enemy will use this as a springboard to attack the snake, but if it is directly exposed to the outside like this, it is estimated that the people of the Wuyu tribe will know the purpose of the brick kiln as soon as they see it.
Although the Wuyu tribe also knew how to make pottery, Song Xuan didn't know where they had come, at that time, for the sake of secrecy, they directly asked people to use wood to surround the brick kiln, which was originally used to prevent the captives in the tribe, but at this time, it happened to be directly stuffed with wood, and from the outside, it was no different from a wooden warehouse.
Although it can't be completely blocked, it is not easy to see as long as the wood is not cleaned, and there is a basically abandoned earthen kiln on the side as a cover, which is decent.
