As the summer of heavy rains gradually passes, the weather becomes drier day by day.
The sun still hangs in the sky like a big fireball every day, but the temperature difference has obviously begun to appear. The morning and evening are much cooler than in June, and sleeping is much more peaceful.
There are three more trolleys in the yard.
Two can sit and one can lie down.
Sheng Ga, Jing Ga, and Fang Ga all have their own carts, and a group of children compete for the carts every day. Not only are the children happy, but the adults are also laughing from ear to ear all day long.
Especially Ye, since she got the stroller, she no longer has to worry about carrying one on her back and holding another in her hand. She has more relaxation and leisure, allowing her to have more time to participate in weaving and weaving.
Help Xu Chen weigh and calculate the grain harvest.
The women are still busy collecting, going out early and returning late every day, and the tribe has new grains to be dried and stored in the warehouse every day.
Autumn is also a time when all kinds of wild animals are fat and strong, and a group of men can harvest a lot every day. The fishing team and the hunting team come back with a full harvest every day.
Animal skins of various sizes are hung everywhere around the yard. The dried ones are kept in the warehouse, and new ones are hung on the walls every day. The air is always filled with a slightly fishy smell.
Everyone is accustomed to this smell.
The smell is not unpleasant, because it is the smell of harvest and a symbol of sufficient food.
A tribe that doesn't smell like fish is not a good tribe.
Just eating plants and wild fruits will make your poop stink.
With the abundant food supply, the spirit of the entire tribe has reached its peak in a year. Not only has everyone gained weight, but everyone's face is always filled with a happy and bright smile.
This was the tribe's richest year ever.
This time last year, everyone living in the mountains was still worrying about how to survive the winter.
But this year, no one will think about winter anymore.
There are mansions and courtyards, warehouses full of food, plenty of fish and meat, houses full of animal skins, and flocks of chickens and ducks. In just one year, the Ba people have transformed from a poor and small tribe into a wealthy family with no worries about food and clothing.
Of course, this is what other people think.
In fact, as the tribe became increasingly prosperous and peaceful, Xu Chen felt that he could no longer live in this way and needed to start unifying the other five tribes as soon as possible.
The Novice Village mission should be almost over now, and it’s time to reopen a new map to harm the primitive savages of other tribes.
However, the huge Uzbek tribe blocking the way south was the biggest obstacle for him to take this step.
Breaking out of Novice Village is both the beginning and possibly the end.
This is most likely not a game, and he didn't find the save point.
And with the arrival of autumn, the annual Witch Lords Conference is also coming.
Last year, he just followed him to see the world, without any thought of shaking his body and making the five tribes bow to him under his big linen shorts.
But this year, in order to open the first upgrade mission outside the Novice Village, he must change his low profile in the past, come up with something unique, and use the reputation and popularity he has accumulated this year to open up the unification of the five races.
situation.
At present, there are still big witches in the Uzbek tribe, so there is little hope of getting ahead by relying on the reputation of a small internet celebrity.
After all, the great witch is the spokesperson of God.
And he is just a wild god scroller with unknown origins.
The gap in between is quite large.
Otherwise, there is only one way to seize power with arms.
But this road is more dangerous.
Including the three new men who joined in the spring, the Ba tribe currently has a total of twenty-one men with fighting ability. Among them are Xu Chen and Gu Heju, three five-year-old warriors who have never officially participated in hunting.
As for the Ba tribe, there are nearly two hundred adult men.
The difference in numbers between the two sides is ten times.
The combat effectiveness is also incomparable.
Feng, the youngest and most powerful of the Ba tribe, is completely dwarfed by Long, who is as strong as a bear and is two meters tall.
Within the Wu tribe, dozens of men can be selected who are stronger than the wind.
Therefore, if you want to conquer the Wu tribe head-on and defeat the big with the small, you will be like a snake swallowing an elephant and overestimating your own capabilities.
Without the fate and strength of the First Emperor to sweep across the six kingdoms, he would have to resort to opportunism.
The only chance is to win with force and virtue.
Power is momentum, virtue is reasoning with them.
After all, we all belong to the same tribal alliance. We should try our best not to fight if we can. There is no shame in winning through scolding. Zhuge Jiangdong talked with the Confucian scholars, and Zhou Yu was scolded to death. He left a lasting legacy in the world. If he didn't waste a single soldier, he would
If the five tribes surrender, they will be famous forever.
Later historical records say: On that day, the king came from the west with only a dozen of his clansmen. At the witchcraft conference, he gave instructions and scolded Fang Qiu. The leaders of the five clans were impressed by his talent and strategy, and they were sincerely convinced and worshiped him, willing to encourage him.
Well, the idea is beautiful, but the reality is cruel.
In fact, Xu Chen knew how many of these dogs there were. What primitive people disliked the most was being reasonable.
They are obsessed with competing with each other.
If you can defeat him, he will be convinced.
If you say you can't defeat him, you'll die.
The Chinese people started to like to talk about things from Confucius.
Since the rise of Confucianism, the Chinese people's force value has become weaker and weaker, and weak scholars and pretty boys have gradually become a new trend.
Women begin to worship the helpless little brothers because they all have a flexible tongue.
But now, Xu Chen thought that he didn't have a tongue flexible enough to lick... To convince these stubborn primitive people, he could only start with coercion.
The most important thing in a fight is momentum.
There are four major schools of military art: the first one is military situation, followed by tactics, yin and yang, and skills.
What is momentum?
High and low are leaning against each other, long and short are compared, front and back are following each other, voices are harmonious, and strong and weak are in harmony. Only then will a strong contrast be formed, which will create a psychological gap barrier in people.
When everyone else rides bicycles, you drive a car over here.
When others are walking their dogs, you lead the tiger over.
When everyone else is wearing suits, you come here wearing a thong.
When others bring girlfriends, you bring your mother-in-law.
In such a strong comparison, you can't stand out even if you don't want to.
Now facing five poor neighbors who eat dirt, bare buttocks and have no muscles, Xu Chen only needs to dress up a group of Ba men in a different way and look awesome.
Intimidation is the only method available at the moment.
He is not good at fighting, or he is good at it if he has many younger brothers. If he has few people and does not want to convince others, he can only find another way.
In order to achieve this goal, he felt that it was necessary to intensify the transformation of a group of Ba men.
There are still two and a half months for the witchcraft ceremony, so arrangements must be made quickly.
Of course, force training is also essential.
In addition, the Wu Zhu Conference is also an exchange conference, and you have to work hard to earn the money you should earn. Since pottery is still the most popular item, it will need to be fired and reserved this year. As for linen, it can be postponed for a while because the demand is not high.
High, not hot at all.
Therefore, after entering July, the kiln factory that had ceased fire for nearly three months began to billow with smoke every day, and the four kiln workers started the smoky pottery making work again.
In addition to collecting plant seeds, roots and fruits, women also began to harvest the hemp bark planted in spring and soak it in the mud pits of the river beach.
Men who mainly focus on hunting and wandering also speed up the manufacturing and replacement of equipment.
The bow is made of dry, high-strength wood, and the bowstring has been changed from the simplest bark rope to hemp rope at first, and now to a special bowstring made of snake skin, animal sinew, and hemp thread.
The arrows have also been uniformly replaced from the simplest animal tooth bone fragments to ceramic arrowheads of similar size and shape that have been simply polished. Some of the refined arrow tail feathers are glued on with isinglass, so that the tail of the arrow is lighter and easier to fly.
smooth.
As for the source of isinglass, Xu Chen collected and boiled fish maws because there were too many fish caught in winter and spring. This stuff is not only a nutritious and delicious food that is very nourishing to the body, but also a very good adhesive, but the quantity is
The production was time-consuming and laborious, and the yield was low. Xu Chen gave up after making it twice.
At present, apart from being used to stick bow and arrow feathers, there is really no other use for it.
Spears are still a must-have weapon. While everyone needs to train archery, spear throwing is still a compulsory martial skill. Similarly, spears are not simply sharpened before, but have sharp stone spear points tied to the front end.
The spear body is a straight wooden stick that is chopped, dried, and carefully selected. It is not only lighter but also stronger, and with the addition of a stone spear tip, it is more conducive to maintaining the balance and accuracy of throwing.
In addition to weapons, armor has also undergone significant changes.
The rattan armor is designed to be more beautiful and strong, and it can also be wrapped with a layer of leather to protect the chest, back, abdomen, shoulders, upper arms, and thighs.
In addition to the rattan armor, the shoes were also replaced with long boots with hemp outer leather and inner leather, tied with hemp rope to look like leggings.
Since then, except for the head, almost the whole body has been covered in protection.
The production of this kind of armor is extremely complicated and troublesome. From the overall design to the completion, the first set of armor took ten days. The wooden needles were completely useless, and several bone needles had to be broken every day. A few ingenious women stayed up all night holding lamps.
Processing, but it was still very difficult. It wasn't until Xu Chen made a punch out of hardwood to punch holes in the hide, and used a wood thorn with good toughness to make a crochet thread for sewing, that the sewing speed was accelerated.
Although everyone in the tribe didn't understand why Xu Chen spent so much time, energy and material resources on making this kind of clothes that didn't seem to have much effect.
But when this armor was made and worn on Feng's body, the entire tribe was completely boiling, especially a group of men, reaching the point of almost madness.
Feng, who is over 1.8 meters tall, is already tall and burly, and this armor was tailor-made for him. Therefore, after putting it on, his whole temperament changed drastically, and he was perfectly covered from head to toe under the thick armor.
He has a bow in his left hand, a spear in his right hand, a quiver on his back, a bone dagger hanging on his waist, and a red-dyed forehead band on his head. Among them is a black hieroglyph with the character "Ba", which looks like an unknown creature.
The standard outfit of the super warrior of time and space.
Even the ferocious scarlet scars on his face add a unique sense of might and domineering to him.
What a handsome dog!
Seeing Feng standing among the crowd like an iron tower warrior, Xu Chen felt a little envious and jealous.
I have started to develop a small belly, so I'm afraid I won't be able to wear such a stunning effect.
