Zhang Ke raised his hand and pointed at the steep mountain. His figure turned into a ball of mist and disappeared, and the next second he appeared five hundred feet away.
Then Zhang Ke turned to the fire snake and said:
"There are many techniques for archery, and different battles require different techniques, such as pinching the string, pressing the bow, side bowing, etc.
Depending on the posture, there are also small frame, large frame, flat frame and other techniques.
In addition to these string control techniques, there are also some commonly used techniques.
For example, rapid fire is the rapid firing of arrows in a short period of time. This technique is generally used on short bows, and the arrows are shot out before the bowstring is fully drawn.
In addition, there are also projectiles, foot shots, mounted shots, etc. that shoot arrows beyond the normal range..."
As Zhang Ke started talking, he suddenly saw that the fire snake was already looking eager to try, and he couldn't help but smile.
He did not elaborate, but pointed out the posture of the fire snake.
Make his feet stand slightly wider than his shoulders, with the soles of his feet close to the ground, his toes gripping the ground, his knees straight, his hips pressed together, his waist straight, and his chest open.
Then hold the bow with your left hand, aim at the steep mountain to clasp the string, lock the front shoulders, sink the back shoulders, loosen the chest, tighten the back, and draw the bow in a straight line backwards with the strength of the hand pulling the back.
aim!
Relax and let go!
"Whoosh——!"
A white line trembled as it left the bowstring and shot toward the mountain.
No one cared whether this attack would cause danger to Shan Qiao. Since it was Zhang Ke's order, how could Shan Qiao really be in danger?
Therefore, the fire snake bowed towards the steep mountain with peace of mind.
When he heard the sound of a bowstring, Shan Qiao also began to charge quickly towards the location of everyone.
The Fire Snake uses a giant longbow suitable for humans in this world, and its arrows fly through the air at the speed of sound.
This is impossible in the world in the dream, where the initial speed of a 38-pound bow is only about 40 meters per second.
In this world, due to various reasons, the speed of bows and arrows can reach the speed of sound, exceeding four hundred meters per second.
But at this moment, there is a distance of 1,500 meters between the fire snake and the mountain cliff, and the arrow needs to fly in the air for more than four seconds to reach it.
Therefore, when Shan Qiao charged quickly, he easily dodged the first arrow shot by the fire snake.
After the fire snake shoots an arrow, he slightly moves his left hand to put down the long bow for inspection.
Zhang Ke opened his mouth and said:
"Keep cumming!"
The fire snake's heart was frightened, and he immediately raised his bow again. His eyes flashed with a faint light, and the distance of hundreds of feet became extremely clear in an instant. He saw the steep mountain and turned sideways to avoid the arrow.
She has experience in using throwing spears, and although she can't say words like "advance", she still understands the principles behind it.
He took his bow and aimed at the mountain, and shot another arrow based on instinct.
"Whoosh——!"
This time, Zhang Ke didn't need to remind him. The fire snake quickly pulled out an arrow with his backhand and shot it again.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh..."
Arrows drew white lines in the air and shot straight towards the mountain.
Perhaps the Fire Snake really had a talent for long-range shooting. After only shooting a few arrows, she quickly mastered the art of archery.
She no longer drew the bow according to the posture taught by Zhang Ke, but quickly adjusted her movements.
At the same time, he did not aim deliberately, but quickly pulled the bow string based on his feeling.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh..."
When the fire snake mastered the shooting method of bow and arrow, Shan Qiao suddenly found that it was much more difficult to avoid arrows.
At first, the arrows only appeared within a few feet, and he could easily dodge them.
Ten seconds later, when he was still more than half the distance from the fire snake, he discovered that the arrows shot by the fire snake were not leaving his body, and the angles were getting more and more tricky.
"puff--!"
Shan Qiao was unable to dodge and was shot in the chest by a white feather.
Surprisingly, he could clearly see the arrow entering his chest, but he felt no pain at all.
The mountain was steep for a moment, and I couldn't help but stop and look down.
At this moment, Zhang Ke's voice suddenly came to my ears.
"Keep rushing!"
Shan Qiao immediately stopped thinking about anything else and continued to charge towards the fire snake quickly.
"Whizzing!"
"Puff!"
The sound of breaking through the sky was endless, and Shi Xiong, who was watching from the side, was breathing rapidly, his adrenal glands were soaring, and he had the urge to shout.
The fire snake reached behind his right hand to pick up an arrow, but all of a sudden it came up empty.
A bag of thirty arrows was actually poured out.
Looking at the steep mountain that was twenty feet away, the fire snake felt a trace of unwillingness in its heart, its heart beat violently, and a circle of red light burst out from its body.
And this red light followed the fire snake's thoughts and instantly condensed into a red arrow at her fingertips.
The fire snake took up the bow, pulled the string, and relaxed his fingers without thinking!
"Boom——!"
A unique vibrating sound sounded, and a red light shot out from the fingertips like lightning.
"boom--!"
There was an explosion, and Shan Qiao's entire body was shattered by red light.
Zhang Keluo looked at the panting Fire Snake with some surprise, not expecting that his talent for bow and arrow was so high.
With the fingers of his left hand a little in front of him, a circle of white light flashed.
Shan Qiao reappeared in front of everyone with a panicked expression.
Zhang Ke stretched out his hand to grab it, and nine specks of white hair flew out from the mountain cliff and landed in Zhang Ke's palm, turning into nine white feather arrows.
"See it!
From a distance of five hundred feet, nine arrows hit the mountain steeply, which means that an excellent archer can kill at least nine opponents before they reach him."
Shi Xiong, Feng Jiushu and others didn't see the power of this weapon.
Just as he was about to speak, Zhang Ke waved his left hand outward.
A white light flashed in front of him, and in an instant there were nearly a thousand bows lined up with bows in hand.
Layers upon layers, standing like a forest!
Five hundred people away, a human race several times his own appeared.
Zhang Ke casually snapped his fingers.
"Snapped--!"
"Ugh!"
Thousands of people in the distance shouted together and rushed towards the place where everyone was like galloping horses.
The faces of Feng Jiushu and others couldn't help but change. Although they knew that these thousands of people would not bring harm to themselves and others, the charging momentum that came like a tide really frightened everyone.
In the 'Mountain and Sea Realm', they had never seen thousands of people charging at the same time.
Like a landslide!
Like a tsunami!
Fengli looked at the undulating crowds in the distance and the gentle vibrations coming from under his feet, and couldn't help but take a step back.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Although she immediately woke up and took a step forward, her mere retreat caused others to lower their evaluation of her.
The next second, Feng Jiushu and others saw the most shocking scene in their lives.
Thousands of archers made archery movements in unison.
Pick up the arrow, nock the bow, pull the string, relax the finger!
"boom--!"
Thousands of arrows shot through the air at the same time, and because the movements were so unified, the sound of the bowstrings sounded like thunder.
The bow is like a thunderbolt!
White feathers shot out of the sky, instantly filling the vision of Feng Jiushu and others.
The archer did not stop and continued to draw the bow rapidly,
"Boom! Boom! Boom——!"
While the first arrow was still flying in the air, the last arrow in the quiver was shot, and all twenty arrows were shot out within four seconds.
At this moment, the sky was filled with arrows like raindrops.
Feng Jiushu and others looked at the sky with trembling hearts, blood surged in their chests, and infinite fighting spirit surged from the bottom of their hearts.
"Puff puff!"
The sound of arrows breaking through the body as densely as rain could be heard.
The crowd of people who rushed out less than a hundred feet in the distance fell to the ground in patches like chopped corn.
After the rain of arrows fell, only hundreds of sporadic figures staggered forward.
"Boom——!"
The archer with his quiver filled again drew his bow, and another rain of arrows fell.
Hundreds of figures were pierced by arrows and fell to the ground.
"Ss—!"
The sound of long breathing came from the mouths and noses of Feng Jiushu and others.
At this moment, they truly understood why Zhang Ke said that the "gong" was the first of the hundred soldiers in war.
Everyone's hearts are surging, maybe it won't be too difficult to win this war!
Seeing everyone's expressions, Zhang Ke immediately poured a basin of cold water over his head.
"It is not difficult to make a 'bow', so basically wherever there are humans there will be this kind of weapon.
Even in this world, as long as some years pass, this kind of weapon will be created.
For people outside this world at the moment, this kind of weapon is very common, and they may even have weapons more powerful than this.
For example, crossbows, cannons, catapults, etc.
It is impossible to win this 'Dao-Demon War' with just one weapon."
Flame Red Silkworm and others were shocked, and finally understood the cruelty of this 'battle between Tao and Demon'.
With such powerful weapons, the human race's casualties will be much higher than before.
Zhang Ke waved his sleeves, and everyone felt dizzy and couldn't help but close their eyes again.
When his eyes were opened, everyone appeared in the cave again.
The fire snake looked around in a daze, wondering whether what he had just experienced was true or false.
I looked at my hands, but they were empty.
Zhang Ke smiled and said:
"Although making a longbow is a bit difficult, it is not complicated as long as you know the method.
I have several books on bow and arrow shooting and various arrow refining, waiting for me to find them and give them to you.
The main reason why I invited Chief Yan and everyone here today is to discuss the future development plan of the Xiawan Tribe."
Feng Li glanced at Huo Snake jealously, seeing that he was another person who was favored by Layman Ruyi.
When the flame red silkworm heard Zhang Kezhi's words, her heart moved slightly.
"Layholder, do you have any good suggestions?"
Out of respect and awe for Zhang Ke, she learned to use honorifics without any guidance.
Zhang Ke poured himself a cup of spiritual tea and said slowly:
“The tribe used to have only a thousand people, and when it came to matters, we could make decisions through a little discussion.
But things are different now. There are 400,000 tribesmen who need you to manage them, and you simply cannot manage them alone."
The flame red silkworm couldn't help but nodded.
She has also discovered this shortcoming in the past few days. She always feels that there are countless things to do every day, but she has tried her best, but she still cannot do all the things in the tribe well.
The tribe is like a slow-moving giant. Although the instructions are issued in the head, the hands and feet cannot synchronize.
"A mature group must have perfect self-consistency. This is the social system.
What the tribe needs most at this moment is a system from top to bottom that allows everyone to spontaneously recognize, support and operate closely around this system."
Zhang Ke said briefly and then said:
"This system must first have a core, and that is the leader of the tribe."
He looked at the flame red silkworm and said:
"You are the leader of the Xiawan tribe, which is the natural core of this system, but you cannot manage hundreds of thousands of people by yourself, so you need someone to share the management for you.
Here, I have a system in another world that you can borrow, and if there is anything inappropriate in the operation of this system, you can change it according to the actual situation."
Zhang Ke was not prepared to explain in detail the various social systems of various historical dynasties in the dream.
The birth of each system has a unique historical background and environment. It is derived spontaneously through constant revision and precipitation. Applying it mechanically will only be counterproductive.
Zhang Ke is ready to guide from another perspective.
He stretched out his left hand and spread his four fingers.
“The operation of a social group, no matter what kind of system is implemented, is inseparable from the support of the four classes.
Scholars, farmers, workers, merchants!”
The flame red silkworm chewed the last four words Zhang Ke said in her heart.
Zhang Ke said slowly:
"Any social group will spontaneously derive these four classes, and the Hawan tribe is no exception."
Flame Red Silkworm and others all became interested and listened attentively to Zhang Ke's explanation.
"Among the four classes, the status of the 'scholars' class is second only to the tribal leaders.
It is also the one who has benefited the most, so this class naturally supports the core of the tribe leader the most.
So what is a ‘scholar’?”
Zhang Ke did not mention that in the dream, the status of "shi" was lower than that of princes and nobles, but directly elevated them to the first ruling class under the tribal lord.
"'Shi' initially refers to the people who assist the tribal leader in managing the tribe. They are officials who govern the people in peacetime and are the main force in the war during wartime.
Because the authority of this class comes from the gift of the tribal leader, this class will spontaneously support the tribal leader.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Later, through the continuous refinement of the duties and responsibilities of ‘scholars’, they were divided into two major categories: scribes and warriors, and countless subcategories.
The main responsibility of scribes is to be responsible for internal affairs, such as fire snakes, and the main responsibility of warriors is to fight, such as stone bears.
Scholars were the promoters and executors of policies. They were grassroots officials responsible for managing taxes, encouraging farming, judging civil cases, and maintaining local security.
As a grassroots officer, you are responsible for managing the army, as a businessman, you are responsible for managing businessmen, and as a craftsman, you are responsible for managing workers."
As soon as these words came out, Shi Xiong and others couldn't help but look at each other, and they immediately understood what a 'scholar' was.
This is a class that includes almost all the responsibilities of the tribe, and its importance can be imagined.
But at the same time, they didn't quite understand what Zhang Ke mentioned about farming, taxation, and cases. They had a vague understanding of it, but they couldn't explain it clearly.
Zhang Ke did not continue to explain in depth. Some things can only be understood after encountering them. Just explaining them will not be of any use.
He continued:
“Now let’s talk about what ‘agriculture’ is. In fact, everyone should already know about this.
‘Nong’ refers to the farmer who works.
If you want to survive, you cannot do without food, and hunting alone cannot feed the 400,000 people in the Hawan tribe.
Therefore, stable and large amounts of food are the biggest problem limiting the next development of the tribe.
Without food, the growth of the population will be limited, and without the population, the development of the tribe will stagnate.
Therefore, when spring comes and flowers bloom, at least 40% of the people in the tribe will become farmers and obtain a large amount of food by cultivating corn."
This point is easy to understand. Zhang Ke simply said a few words and then moved to the next topic.
“Now let me talk about the ‘worker’ class.
The so-called "workers" refer to craftsmen, people who are good at building houses, making weapons, and kneading leather.
This is a very important class, and it will play a decisive role in this four-hundred-year-old war.
Whether it is the large-scale refining of various weapons, the production of defensive armor, or the preparation of various materials, this class is inseparable.
However, because the clansmen in the tribe are still in a state of no distinction between classes, such talents need to be screened out as soon as possible, and Chief Yan needs to pay more attention to this.
Finally, let me talk about what ‘business’ is.”
Speaking of this, Zhang Ke couldn't help but feel a little stuck. The tribe implemented public ownership, so there were no obvious transactions.
It is really not easy to explain this concept clearly.
Seeing Zhang Ke pondering, Shan Qiao smartly said:
"She, our tribe exchanged some salt with the Shangwan tribe a few years ago. Is this considered 'business'?"
Zhang Ke glanced at Shan Qiao appreciatively and said with a smile:
"Since there has been a transaction, it is easy to explain."
He looked at the flame red silkworm and said:
“People in the tribe don’t have any belongings of their own now, so they may have difficulty understanding what ‘commerce’ is.
Let me say it briefly.
‘Business’ refers to different people exchanging what they have through transactions to satisfy their own needs.
What Shan Qiao just said is a kind of commercial behavior. We need salt, but we don't have it. We exchange some items with the Shangwan tribe to achieve mutually satisfactory results.
When everyone has their own items in the future, they can use this behavior to get what they need.
For example, the Fire Snake got a bone with special powers, but she likes to use bows and arrows rather than using bones as weapons.
Then this bone is a redundant item for the fire snake.
Stone Bear got a tendon from a monster that could be used as a bowstring, but he liked the bone as a weapon.
In this case, the stone bear can exchange with the fire snake to satisfy both of them.
This is ‘business’!”
"Oh~~!"
Everyone responded in unison, feeling a little enlightened.
In fact, this kind of behavior has slowly appeared in the tribe, but it was just because no one paid attention to it.
Now after listening to Zhang Ke's statement, although everyone has some understanding, they still do not have a deep understanding.
Relatively speaking, the other three classes attracted more attention from everyone, especially the ‘scholars’ and ‘peasants’!
Looking at everyone's expressions, Zhang Ke sighed secretly.
This is the harm of skipping the laws of nature and forcibly ascending to civilization.
Without the naturally derived precipitation, there will be a situation where the seedlings are forced to grow.
At this moment, Zhang Ke suddenly had a new understanding of the four words "Tao follows nature".
After thinking for a moment, Zhang Ke couldn't help but laugh when he looked up and saw everyone looking at him expectantly.
"I have said a lot today. In the world I live in, I can summarize the importance of these four classes into four sentences. You can go back and understand it carefully."
Immediately afterwards, Zhang Ke said sixteen words.
“Without scholars there is no kindness, without farmers there is no stability, without work there is no strength, without business there is no life!”
