Chapter 772 Defensive weapons other than vine shields - armor
When it rains, walking slowly in the rain is something Han Cheng likes to do very much.
Because when walking in the rain, he would become very calm, as if all the troubles and distracting thoughts in his heart were washed away by the falling rain.
Of course, this kind of rain does not include heavy rain.
It is a very comfortable thing to do this in the drizzle. Walking in the rainstorm will not have any other consequences except being soaked in water and being regarded as a fool by others.
However, this is not the future generation, and the medical and health conditions are far inferior, so Han Chengcheng is not as unrestrained as the later generations, and he does not even hold an umbrella.
Of course, Han Cheng didn't hold an umbrella now, but he was wearing a bamboo hat and a raincoat.
Walking in the drizzle, look at the mountains with a hint of green in the distance, the fields nearby that have been plowed more than half, and then look at the big fish pond in front of you with not much water, and take a hard breath of mixed food.
With the scent of apricot blossoms, the air cooled all the way to his lungs, and Han Cheng felt comfortable all over.
This big pit in front of us will become the fish pond of the Qingque tribe in the near future.
Of course, this big pit was not specially dug. It was the result of the previous expansion of the tribe. After Han Cheng designated such a fixed extraction location, the walls and houses of the Qingque tribe gradually rose up from the ground.
, and then appeared.
In fact, if Han Cheng hadn't remembered the food cellar later and asked people to change the place where the soil was collected to inside the tribe, the fish pond could have been expanded further.
But now this fish pond with an area of nearly three acres is enough for the tribe.
We just need to wait until it rains a few more times and the fish pond can accumulate more water, and then we can catch fish from the river and release them in the fish pond.
With Han Cheng's fishing moratorium policy, the fish in the river have recovered somewhat in the past two years, but the fish in the river can swim back and forth, and they are far from as stable as raising them in a fish pond.
If you belong to your own tribe, you belong to your own tribe. How can you get out of the fish pond with long legs under your body, and then swim all the way to the river on dry land?
Of course, water-6 amphibious creatures like Bastard need to be ruled out.
In such a large fish pond, once the fish in it can grow up, and the fish produced in it every year, plus some caught in the river, basically the tribe will not have to be as nervous as they are now when eating fish again in the future.
.
And the human stomach is so big, if you eat more of other things, you have to eat less of other things.
If there are more fish in the tribe, food and other things can be saved.
After Han Cheng came here, he started his business by relying on fish, and he has a deep understanding of the importance of fish.
When the spring plowing is over, let the tribesmen plant an iron fence around the fish pond and go out.
This is not done to prevent someone from stealing the fish, or from some crazy person poisoning the fish pond.
This is mainly done to prevent minors in the tribe from falling into it.
The fish ponds dug out now, when filled with water, are deeper than the rivers in the tribe, and they are closer to the tribe. If it were not surrounded by a circle of iron fences, there would be so many fish ponds running around in the tribe now.
Boy, if someone doesn't look right and someone falls in, then a good thing will turn into a bad thing.
Therefore, while there is not much water in it at this time, it is necessary to enclose the fish pond with a piercing iron fence.
The drizzle fell on the bamboo hat and coir raincoat, slowly gathering into small crystal water drops, which stayed at the end of the withered grass stems for a while, and then fell to the ground.
Han Cheng stared at only a small part of the fish pond with a shallow layer of water, thinking about the future of the tribal fish pond.
After thinking like this for a while, Han Cheng couldn't help but sigh.
He was not sighing because it would take a long time to fully raise the fish in the fish pond, but he was regretting that there was no trace of the lotus root yet.
Otherwise, it would be a beautiful thing to plant some lotus roots in the shallow water of the fish pond and watch the fields of lotus leaves, the fish playing among the lotus leaves, and the crystal water drops rolling on the lotus leaves.
Especially when the lotus is in bloom, feed the fish in the pond less grass and let them eat the lotus that fell in the water. Then you can fish out the fish that have eaten the lotus, cook it and put it in a clay pot.
Slowly stewed in it, it can be regarded as the immortal lotus fish. Thinking about this made Han Cheng feel refreshed.
And it can also make up for the regret of going to the park in later generations, lying on the railing and watching the fish within reach, and swallowing hard.
It costs 300 yuan to fish out a fish from the lotus pond in the park. Now I am fishing in my own fish pond to see who dares to do this and fine me money again!
Well, even if someone came to collect it, Han Cheng wouldn't be able to get a penny out.
And in addition to the lotus fish, the plump lotus pods are also attractive.
A woman's laughter and melodious songs rang out among the blue lotus leaves. A small boat emerged from the lotus leaves as they swayed.
Then the singing gradually stopped, and a barefoot lotus-picking girl holding a bamboo pen, rolled up her trouser legs, emerged from the vast expanse of green lotus.
Along with a touch of rosiness on the face of the lotus-picking girl, a large, dewy lotus flew towards him...
Just thinking about such a scene makes Han Cheng intoxicated.
Some voices sounded at the courtyard gate, interrupting Han Cheng's thoughts.
He turned his head and looked there with some dissatisfaction, and saw Zhuang and other women from the tribe wearing bamboo hats and raincoats walking out from there.
Looking at their strong, man-like figures, and hearing the rough voice coming from afar, Han Cheng shivered violently.
After replacing the gentle and lovely lotus-picking girls from the south of the Yangtze River with these strong women from the tribe, Han Cheng's fantasy of creating a lotus pond in the tribe was suddenly shattered.
Putting aside the question of whether the boat would be sunk, Han Cheng felt that he could be hit by these tough guys in the tribe with just a shy and timid gesture of throwing lotus pods, causing his nose to bleed...
…
His thoughts were interrupted, and after he imagined such a scene in his mind, Han Cheng suddenly lost the mood and courage to stroll outside, and turned around and walked towards the tribe...
In the tribe, Han Cheng held the tea cup with both hands, sipping the hot water in the cup in small sips to get rid of some of the coolness, while looking to the side.
Not far away, the senior brother was concentrating on resting the leather-covered vine shield in his hand.
Senior brother is very rare for this vine shield. This thing can not only be used to block damage, but can also be used to knock down enemies...
Han Cheng looked at the vine shield in his senior brother's hand with a thoughtful look in his eyes...
Defensive weapons like rattan shields were something that Han Cheng came up with not long after he came to this world.
Basically, together with spears, bows, arrows, and slings, they can be called the first generation weapons of the Qingque tribe.
With Junior Brother Sha, who is very obsessed with bows and arrows, Han Cheng only needs a little guidance from the side.
Compared with the simple bows and arrows that Han Cheng made at the beginning, the bows and arrows in the tribe now have a much longer range.
As for the long spear, after bronze became available, it has been replaced by the bronze spear. Among these four weapons, the one that has been updated the fastest is also the most advanced.
Under the skillful operation of the second senior brother, the sling has also been improved to a certain extent.
Compared with the previous ones, the Vine Shield is not without improvement. Its biggest improvement is that it has a thick layer of leather on it.
The shield is a weapon that has always been accompanied by cold weapons and will never go out of style.
Even until the end of the cold weapon era, in the hot weapon era, shields can still be seen in life from time to time, such as explosion-proof shields.
As the various manufacturing levels of the Qingque Tribe increase and demand arises, things like shields will also be upgraded in the Qingque Tribe.
Of course, not now.
The reason why Han Cheng stared at the shield for a while and had so many thoughts was because he thought of another kind of armor for personal protection.
Compared with a shield that can only cover part of the body, armor's protection is more comprehensive.
Moreover, it only needs to be worn on the body, and does not need to be carried by hand at all times like a shield.
A person wearing armor can shoot a bow, wield a spear, and other things.
It can provide people with 24-hour personal protection, safety and comfort.
In fact, as early as when the tribe started to develop the first-generation weapons, Han Chengcheng had considered armor, and it was the first thing he considered.
Later, the reason why I gave up the armor and chose a shield was because at that time, the tribe did not have the conditions to make armor.
No matter whether it is the lame weaving skills or the tribal knives, they are not satisfied.
It is not impossible to knock it out, but it consumes too much manpower and material resources, and there is no way to popularize it. Getting one or two pieces is of little practical significance to the tribes at that time.
So the matter about the armor has been left alone.
In the subsequent tribal conflicts, the people of the Qingque tribe relied on their numerical advantages, weapon advantages, and various tactical and logistical advantages to crush their opponents, basically at a very small cost.
At the cost, a great victory was achieved.
It was precisely because of these victories that Han Cheng had always ignored the armor.
At this time, I saw the senior brother taking advantage of the rainy day to rest and repair the vine shield, and then suddenly thought about the armor.
It's time to try making armor.
As long as we can make useful armor and equip the archers and slingers in the tribe, when the tribe encounters some conflict, these two high-range long-range attacks will be able to escape from the vine shield to a certain extent.
Protected.
High attack, thick defense, this kind of existence is exciting to think about.
"Senior Brother, there is a new protective weapon..."
After Han Cheng thought for a while, he held the tea cup, took a sip of hot tea and said to the senior brother who was resting seriously while holding the rattan shield.
The senior brother stopped what he was doing and listened carefully to Han Cheng's words.
Shang walked in from the outside. After hearing what Han Cheng said, he stood on the spot and listened carefully to what Han Cheng said.
Because of the spring plowing, the people in the trading team did not go out to trade after the spring started. Instead, they stayed in the tribe and worked hard for the spring plowing in the tribe.
In fact, even if there is no spring plowing at this time, the people in the trading team do not need to go out to do transactions now.
Because in the winter that just passed, the surrounding tribes who often traded with the Qingque Tribe, after the Qingque Tribe attacked the semi-agrarian tribe, exchanged their assigned donkeys, slaves, and peas for a large amount of salt, at least
Within half a year, they will not be short of salt.
Listening to what Han Cheng said about the armor, senior brother and Shang both looked thoughtful.
"It's like a shield that can be worn like clothes..."
Han Cheng saw that the two of them didn't react for a while, so he continued to explain.
After saying this, the senior brother hesitated for a while, and then put the vine shield in his hand on his arm...
Looking at the elder brother who was wearing a rattan shield and not gesticulating in front of him, looking a little confused, Han Cheng couldn't help but smile. A rattan shield is a rattan shield. Of course it cannot be used as armor, but it is also made of rattan.
Let Lame try the woven rattan armor.
While the eldest brother kept making gestures in front of him with the vine shield, Shang beside him was also scratching his head with his hands.
Unlike the eldest brother who was simply confused about what the vine armor looked like, Shang's confusion was why Shenzi suddenly wanted to get this kind of protective thing that was said to be more convenient than the vine shield.
In his opinion, the weapons currently owned by the tribe are enough for the tribe to use.
The most important thing is that they have bronze swords, bows and arrows, and slings, which are very powerful weapons.
With them here, one's own tribe basically doesn't have to worry about other tribes.
In fact, according to Shang, even the vine shield is not too important. In these few battles, the role played by the vine shield is far less important than the other weapons.
And now, the Son of God actually wants to acquire defensive weapons...
As the number one militant in the tribe, it is not surprising that Shang has such thoughts.
So after hearing what he said, Han Cheng didn't refute too much, but smiled at Shang and said, "Then after the armor is made, let's give it a try."
Shang's idea of only focusing on attack but ignoring defense is very dangerous. Han Cheng knows how many accidents there are in the world and how fragile life is.
So he wanted to reverse the concept of Shang and those in the tribe who were just like Shang, who only saw the gratifying results of the attackers but ignored the defenders.
However, if you want to change a person's concept, just talking in vain is obviously not very convincing. The best way is to let them personally experience the huge benefits of defense.
Shang looked at the son of God with a bright smile, and for some reason, he suddenly felt a little cold...
