"how many?"
Song Xuan initially treated the Wuyu Tribe as an ordinary tribe, but now it seems that he does look down upon them.
Yuan Yu shook her head and said:
"Not a lot, not everyone has one!"
This was a blessing among misfortunes. If all Karasuba used this kind of weapon, the advantage over Soaring Snake would suddenly be expanded by a few points.
However, this conversation confused the others.
"Angel, what are you talking about?"
Since the enemy has special weapons, it is natural to explain it clearly to everyone. Even if there is no good way to deal with it, at least you can't just go up and hit it with stone weapons as recklessly as usual.
"Metal, this arrow is made of metal stone!"
"Metal?!"
"Angel, is this the one you usually talk about?"
"..."
Although metal ore has not been found in the tribe, Song Xuan will spread the word to everyone from time to time. At least from the news heard from Song Xuan's mouth, everyone already knows how powerful metal is. Just one will not wear out easily. It was enough to scare everyone.
Song Xuan nodded, then shook his head and said:
"Yeah, but this is still ore!"
"It's not as powerful as metal weapons, but you have to be careful!"
In addition to arrows and javelins, the most dangerous moment is when close combat occurs. Fortunately, the tribe has a simple shield. Although it is not perfect, it should not be difficult to block such a weapon made only of ore. .
Song Xuan felt that if they really mastered the refining method, they should first apply it to arrows. After all, the amount of arrows is relatively small, and the profit is relatively large. The metal used in one stone ax can be used to make dozens of arrowheads. .
Of course, it does not rule out the possibility that Karasuba has mastered the refining. If this is the case, Teng She's pressure will suddenly increase a lot.
But no matter what, facing the approaching Karasuba coalition, it was naturally impossible for Soaring Snake to escape or surrender.
Although I don’t know how the bows and arrows of the Black Feather Tribe are, judging from Yuan Yu’s description, they shouldn’t be much worse than Teng She’s. Although Teng She has improved the bows and arrows, the main focus is on the arrows and the bow itself. Not much has changed.
Although the enemy has not yet arrived, everyone started to make preparations after a simple meal. Even Yuan Yu and the others participated. At this time, there was no time for them to adapt to Teng She's life.
The first thing that needs to be dealt with is the dense forest around it. If nothing else, at least there must be enough buffer space.
The method is also very simple. Just set fire to it just like opening up a new field. However, for safety, the isolation belt still needs to be cut out in advance. This is what everyone is doing now.
Song Xuan had already had the idea of expanding the tribe, so he took advantage of the opportunity to do it together. When he reorganized the tribe later, he would not have to consider this aspect.
Therefore, Song Xuan plans to expand the open space on several sides to at least 150 meters, so that even if the tribe later expands, there will still be enough space around it.
Fortunately, there were more people in the tribe. The fire was already burning at sunset, and there was no trace of Wu Yu around the tribe. Song Xuan sent people to establish several sentinel posts around the tribe. If there was any trouble, they could notify them back to the tribe in advance. .
The matter is urgent. After the clearing is burned out, there will be no need to do much leveling. It is used as a battlefield anyway, and the messy situation can also cause certain interference to the invading enemies. At that time, some traps can also be arranged inside, even if they cannot attack the enemy. If the enemy causes too much damage, it's okay to slow down the enemy's steps and make them sick.
During dinner, Song Xuan also officially informed everyone of the news.
"Wow~"
Although everyone already knew the situation, it was different from what Song Xuan said. At the same time, Song Xuan also introduced Yuan Yu and others, and also told the story of the Yuan tribe.
Now that the situation is so critical, Yuan Yu and the others naturally cannot hold any ceremony like Heishui and the Sheep Tribe did. Everything can only be discussed after the war.
From today on, everyone needs to stay in the tribe. Under normal circumstances, you cannot stay away from the tribe. Once you run far away, it is easy to be unable to return to the tribe when the enemy attacks.
All kinds of supplies must be stocked as soon as possible, especially water.
Although a small canal was led from the upstream for daily use by the tribe, it was running water after all. Although there was also a small reservoir, it did not take much time.
Usually, there are only a few water jars used to hold water. It is not a problem to satisfy the use for one or two days, but if you need to face the siege of the enemy, it will be a bit reluctant.
Therefore, it is imperative to store enough water.
Although it is impossible for the confrontation to last too long, once the enemy's attack is thwarted and the attack is stopped in time, this situation does not exist.
The Tengshe people have not experienced any decent battles, and of course Song Xuan has not experienced it personally, but they can still understand it from various aspects, at least theoretically, they know much more than the Tengshe people.
Although the battles in this era are mainly based on force, if you can think more, you will obviously have more advantages.
It is not difficult to store a small amount of water. Everyone has taken out the pots and jars, and at the same time, there are not many large vats in the warehouse. Now they have to be used. No matter whether they can be used or not, there is always nothing wrong with being prepared. of
First of all, we are now preparing to expand the reservoir in the tribe. Compared with jars, a reservoir can always hold much more water. The previous one has not been used much. The main reason is that it is too small and it is inconvenient to collect water. , and it doesn’t look particularly clean, but if it can be expanded and flattened, it shouldn’t be a problem for daily use.
The biggest construction project of the tribe is that Song Xuan is planning to renovate the fence. Although the fence of the tribe is very strong now, it is still in a normal style. It is very flat and does not have much undulations.
If you are facing an ordinary tribe, there is no problem with such a wall, and it is very suitable for everyone to go out and chase the enemy after the attack, but after all, you are facing the Black Feather tribe, and they have sufficient long-range weapons, especially Bow and arrow.
Although you won't be hit by bows and arrows while hiding inside the wall, you still have to lean out when facing the enemy's attack. Leaning half of your body in front of a mature archer is basically putting your life in his hands. in hand.
At least most of the people in Teng She can accurately shoot humanoid targets within a distance of thirty meters. Song Xuan is planning to modify the wall, at least without requiring everyone to stretch out their entire bodies.
The method is also simple, that is, to increase the height by a small distance, just like the stacks of a city wall, so that even if you stand up, you can still shoot sideways, at least the exposed body area will be much smaller.
Moreover, it is not that easy to climb in such a wall. Now that he has done it and is short of time, Song Xuan does not pay attention to rationality and directly increases the height of the wall by one meter. If he wants to climb in, It can only pass through the gap in the middle.
Relatively speaking, attacking from the inside is more targeted, as long as you wait below with a spear.
Early the next morning, everyone entered into a vigorous transformation, everything was done according to Song Xuan's standards as much as possible. After a night of burning, there were only a few sparks left in the surrounding open space.
The vision in the tribe suddenly became empty. Since the forest downstream lost its cover, one could even see directly to the end of the river from the tribe.
The boats in the boat bay were also pulled back into the tribe. If they were placed outside, they would inevitably be destroyed by the enemy. Even if they were not able to use them, if they were damaged, it would take some time to rebuild them.
Apart from this, there are no buildings outside the tribe except for pig pens and kilns.
The wild boars captured last time adapted quite well. Except for two that refused to eat and were slaughtered, the others have already started eating, but they can't see people yet.
Moreover, this group of wild boars are even more ferocious than when they were caught. As soon as they see people getting in, they will rush towards them blankly.
As a result, every time Shi Yan was fed, he could only quietly go over and collapse and walk away. Sometimes he would be stared at even outside, but the only thing he hit was the pig pen fence.
Although they are not particularly good-tempered, wild boars are not picky about food. They basically eat whatever they are fed, including grass roots and wild fruits. They are considered the best-fed animals in the tribe.
If the Black Feather Tribe comes to attack the Soaring Snakes, it will definitely not work if they are placed outside. Although the space in the tribe is tight, Song Xuan still arranged a small area for them, placing it in the southwest corner of the tribe, here The hillside with your back is not easy to defend, so it is better to put the pig here.
If someone sneaks in, this group of wild boars will probably teach them a lesson.
The wild boar is easy to solve. It's nothing more than making a new pigsty. It doesn't have to be the same size as the outside. It's for temporary use anyway, as long as it's strong enough.
If there were not nearly two hundred people in the tribe who were currently involved in the construction of such a large project, they might not be able to handle it.
As for the brick kiln, Song Xuan would definitely be reluctant to demolish it. After all, it took a lot of effort to build it. Even if there are enough bricks now, it won't be put into use for less than three to five days.
And there is a certain distance between the brick kiln and the tribe, so there is no fear that the enemy will use it as a springboard to attack Soaring Snake, but if it is directly exposed to the outside, the people of the Wuyu tribe will probably 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 how far they had reached it. For the sake of confidentiality, he had people surround the brick kiln tightly with wood. Originally, it was to prevent the captives in the tribe from using it. , it was filled with wood at this time. From the outside, it was no different from a wood warehouse.
Although it cannot be completely blocked, it is not easy to see as long as the wood is not removed cleanly, and there is a basically abandoned earthen kiln on the side as a cover, so it looks decent.
