Chapter 178: The Second Senior Brother of Cao Cao and the Planting of Ditch Long
"Boom!"
A much louder voice sounded than before, and the senior brother holding the vine shield leaned back and took half a step back.
The arm pressed against the vine shield felt a little painful.
Even so, the senior brother was very happy, because if the attack just now was not blocked by the vine shield, even if he could dodge a little, he would definitely be seriously injured.
When I turned the Vine Shield sideways and looked at it, I saw that a relatively slender tree branch was broken off where the stone spear had just been stabbed.
It should have been struck directly by the tip of the spear.
However, the senior brother was not harmed because the stone spear was blocked by other tree branches on the side and could not penetrate too much.
The vine shield was woven very densely, with one tree branch sticking close to the other. Even if the spear tip could pierce the first branch, it would be tightly stuck by other vine branches and could not move forward too much.
Shang pulled the stone spear away from the vine shield with some difficulty, and the senior brother raised the vine shield in his hand for the Son of God and everyone else to see.
Then he handed the vine shield to the second senior brother who was standing not far away. He clenched his fists and beat his chest hard, showing everyone that he was strong and proving that he was not injured.
Not only the senior brother was excited, but everyone else who looked a little nervously at the experiment in the field also became extremely excited.
They saw with their own eyes the tenacity of the rattan shield, and became even more fond of the thing woven from wooden strips.
Before there was a vine shield, when they encountered an attack, they could only bite the bullet, run away, or pray to the gods to protect them. Now, they no longer have to do this.
With the vine shield created by the Son of God, they are fully capable of using this vine shield to protect themselves.
Just imagine, when others think that this spear will definitely kill you, you block it with a vine shield and quickly fight back to kill it. It feels really good.
Han Cheng was also very happy. It turned out that his idea of making a rattan shield was very good. This time, with all his strength, although the rattan shield was damaged to a certain extent, it was not a big problem, as long as the direction was correct.
Just fine.
In the future, we only need to make the tree strips weaving the rattan shield thicker, or directly make the rattan shield double-layered, so that the problem of the rattan shield being not very strong can be perfectly solved.
Everyone was no longer sleepy, and they were all observing the vine shield. The only vine shield was passed back and forth in everyone's hands. From time to time, someone would hold it in their hands and play with it to show their novelty with the vine shield.
After doing this for a while, under the leadership of the eldest brother, everyone picked up the tools they used, walked out of the courtyard wall, went to the west side, and then dug the ground.
Han Cheng did not go out because Wu Zai asked him and Lai about the vine shield.
Wu was thinking hard while listening, nodding slightly from time to time, looking cheerful.
After doing this for a while, Han Cheng began to talk to Lai about the improvement of Vine Shield.
There were two methods he had thought of before, one was to weave thicker rattan, and the other was to use thinner rattan to weave a double-layered rattan shield.
Just relying on pure imagination is not enough. The specific effect will only be known after verification.
After all, practice is the only criterion for testing truth.
While watching Lame operate according to his idea, Han Cheng couldn't help but think of the Southern Barbarian Tengjia Army during the Three Kingdoms.
Do you want to imitate the Vine Armor Army and soak the Vine Shield with oil?
If you don't have tung oil, animal fat oil or rapeseed oil should be fine.
Although so far, the rapeseed produced by the tribe is not enough to extract oil.
Han Chengdao didn't have too many worries about whether someone would use fire attacks like Mr. Wolong and burn all the shields of his tribe with a fire.
After all, at this time, productivity was relatively low, and people's imaginations were far less powerful than those of later generations. It was also difficult to make a fire. It was obviously extremely difficult to burn a vine shield with fire.
Moreover, the vine shield is different from the vine armor. The vine armor is difficult to remove when worn on the body, and it is extremely difficult to escape when it catches fire. However, the vine shield only needs to be loosened.
This is very similar to the "little jumper" used for plowing. If something goes wrong when plowing in the field, just loosen your hands and everything will be fine. If it is a four-wheel tractor, it will be much more troublesome.
Han Cheng couldn't help but smile when he thought about this.
Then the image of the extremely greedy second senior brother suddenly appeared in his mind, holding the rattan shield soaked in fat and oil and chewing on it, just like the senior brother who can swim on water in Shaolin football gnaws on eggs...
Han Cheng smiled secretly and shook his head to stop his random thoughts.
The second senior brother who worked too hard broke the bone shovel. When he came back to replace it with a new bone shovel, the second senior brother saw Shenzi shaking his head and laughing, and suddenly felt his nose was a little itchy.
After sneezing loudly, he bowed to the son of God who looked at him in shock, obviously frightened by him, and left in a hurry to avoid causing any more trouble.
Looking at the second senior brother who changed into a bone shovel and left in a hurry, Han Cheng couldn't help sniffing. Is this guy a member of Cao Cao? How good is Qinggong?
Or is it connected with my own mind... ugh...!
After thinking for a while, Han Cheng decided to put aside the matter of soaking the cane shield in oil for now, and wait until next year when the rapeseed matures, and then make a decision based on the yield of the rapeseed.
After making sure that Lame understood what he meant, Han Cheng stayed here for a while, got up and returned to the cave, and left after a while holding a small earthen jar in one hand.
There is a word written on the two earthen pots with stones, one is "white" and the other is "oil".
The earthen pot also contained rapeseed, but it was the two types that Han Cheng had carefully taken care of before. Now it was time to plant them.
In the rapeseed field that had been planted for one season, Han Cheng deliberately left a large area specifically for planting these two types of rapeseed.
In this piece of land, not only is there enough fertilizer, the soil is also very fine. This is the result of holding a rake and wiping the sweating balloon aside.
The first thing to plant is 'cabbage'.
Different from sowing seeds when planting rapeseed before, Han Cheng made ditches this time.
In order to prevent the ditch from being twisted, he specially found a rope and two slender sticks.
The two ends of the rope were tied to the stick respectively, and then the position was determined at two points and one line. Then a stick with a flat head was inserted into the soil and walked backward along this line. A shallow ditch came out.
The distance between two adjacent grooves is twenty centimeters.
After Han Cheng opened three ditches in a row, the matter of ditching along the line fell into the hands of Qiao Qiao.
Han Cheng picked up the clay pot with the word "白" written on it, pinched the seeds inside, and scattered them thinly along the ditch.
After sprinkling four or five furrows of cabbage seeds, take the rake placed at the edge of the field, turn it over so that the crossbar faces down, and gently pull it back and forth, and the loose soil will cover the ditch.
After living there, it became flat.
The specially selected rapeseed is planted in the same way as cabbage. It also makes a ditch at two points and one line, and then scatters it along the ditch.
However, the distance between two adjacent longs is only ten centimeters.
The 'cabbage' field is connected to the specially selected rapeseed field, leaving a gap of 40 centimeters wide in the middle to separate them. When the time comes, this will be the ridge of the field.
Planting along the ditch was a relatively meticulous job, and it wasn't until it was almost dark that all the seeds were planted.
"Someone! Someone!"
The next morning, Han Cheng was still asleep when he was woken up by the sudden call and the sound of "bang bang".
