The female wolf has now basically integrated into Soaring Snake's life, and usually does not hide when seeing people like before, but she is still a little resistant to everyone's touch.
However, it is still easier to get in touch with Wangcai.
Their nest could only continue to expand, so that one side of the door of the house where Song Xuan lived was completely occupied by their family.
The three little wolves were at their cutest at this time, following Wangcai on patrol in a decent manner, which was very popular with everyone.
The senses of animals are definitely much more sensitive than humans, and even after resting, they can still react quickly, which can be regarded as a safety lock for the tribe.
The most frustrated person in the tribe is naturally Uncle Lu. For the sake of safety these past two days, Song Xuan has not allowed him to go out to look for food. All the food, drinks and shit are kept within the tribe, and sometimes he even doesn't want to let him out for a walk.
After all, once Mr. Lu goes out, according to his characteristics, even if he meets people from the Black Feather Tribe, he probably won't be too careful. It will be bad if he is caught by the enemy to fill his stomach.
However, despite being able to guard against other deer, Uncle Lu still went his own way, opened the door alone, and walked openly and openly in front of Song Xuan.
Uncle Deer's role is still very obvious. He has been able to tame the deer captured these few times. A total of five deer have been captured in the past few months, and three of them have survived.
However, Song Xuan also discovered that there seemed to be too many female deer in the tribe. Except for the male deer that was exchanged from the cattle tribe, all the male deer that everyone captured from the wild could not be saved without exception.
The remaining deer was obviously no match for the tall and powerful Uncle Deer, but fortunately, this deer was also smart and knew that it could not compete with him. After giving in in time, Uncle Deer did not bully him any more. , anyway, with so many doe, he can’t enjoy even one deer.
Moreover, it seems that the three fawns will reach adulthood soon, and the deer herd in the tribe should be able to usher in a wave of small expansion.
But before that, people were the first to increase. Pregnant women had given birth to babies one after another in the past two days, and a total of three babies were left in five days.
At this time, it can be regarded as the peak of concentrated births. Song Xuan feels that such an approach was advisable in the past, but it is better not to concentrate on pregnancies like this in the future.
Even though they have given birth to more than a dozen children, there are still more than a dozen pregnant women in the tribe. The combat ability of pregnant women is definitely worse, and all of them are pregnant. Although their daily life will be affected to some extent, they are still able to survive. It can be completed, but if you want to participate in the battle, it is still a bit too reluctant.
At the same time, it is too dangerous. If you are accidentally injured by the enemy's weapon, it is not just a person's problem.
But not allowing them to participate in the battle, not to mention the dozens of women who disagree, will also create a big vacancy for the tribe.
In addition to the traps in the forest, the open space around the tribe is not for enemies to arrange their troops. Although the traps are very obvious, they are indeed necessary.
Especially when approaching a tribe, traps within a distance of forty or fifty meters will significantly slow down the enemy's attack.
Song Xuan didn't think they would step over it despite knowing there was a trap ahead, so Song Xuan didn't ask Shi Meng and the others to be too secretive about this trap, and even deliberately exposed their flaws in order to delay the enemy's attack. speed.
In addition to the traps, Song Xuan also made a batch of antlers by referring to the layout methods of ancient military camps in his memory. However, the binding of antlers requires the use of animal skins, so naturally it cannot be manufactured on a large scale, and in order to be effective, it must be Grinding the top to a sharp point is not an easy task.
Therefore, some were only placed in key locations, such as behind the tribe and in corners that were not easily noticed. At the same time, they were not placed too far away, only about ten meters away from the wall.
The complex caltrops cannot be made in the tribe, but it can be replaced by broken pottery. After smashing the pottery, insert it directly into the ground with the sharp end facing up. The effect will be almost the same.
It's not yet time to wear animal skin shoes. Except for a few people led by Teng She and Song Xuan, most of the tribe are still barefoot, even when walking in the wild.
However, they have been accustomed to this way of walking for a long time, and there is a thick layer of calluses on the soles of their feet. Most of the forest is covered with fallen leaves, and there are not many sharp things. They can still avoid it if they are careful. There won't be too many problems.
But if it is a broken piece of pottery, it is still quite threatening. Except for the heel which may not be easy to get stuck in the head, other parts are still easy to scratch. Even if it cannot be penetrated, it is probably not that easy to walk after stepping on it. Relaxed.
There are not many other things in the tribe, but there are a lot of pottery vessels. Whether it is for daily use or trade, a lot of them are saved.
Now that the conditions in the tribe are better, even when going out for hunting, everyone usually takes one with them. Anyway, it is not heavy. Even if it breaks, it will not be affected. Just come back and get a new one. If the new kiln is fully powered, it can Burning out hundreds of them can fully meet your daily waste needs.
Therefore, there were more than 500 pottery bowls and pottery plates in the tribe. Song Xuan only asked everyone to keep 20 of them, and the rest were all broken into pieces and inserted around the tribe. At the same time, the ones that were broken before were also In terms of utilization, this is the big deal, especially the first batch. The quality was not particularly good to begin with, and there was already a small pile of messy waste pottery.
Before, everyone felt a little distressed, but now they are fully utilized, and they are densely planted around the tribe.
However, it was definitely impossible to cover them all with just these fragments, so Song Xuan carefully arranged it into a serious circle.
There are three circles in total. The distance between the two circles is only more than one meter, and the width of the circle is almost two meters. If you rush over directly, you can easily cross the first circle, and face the next two circles. It is definitely not possible to jump over at once. You can only readjust it, and what Song Xuan wants is this adjustment time.
Of course, there are not so many broken pottery fragments in the tribe. The ones arranged in the first two circles are relatively scattered, but they are inserted alternately on the ground. No matter what, the speed in the past must be slowed down.
songs threaten.
Song Xuan also didn't expect that he could come up with so many tricks before the huge crisis. As for the effect, he could only leave it to the people of the Wuyu tribe to test.
But no matter what kind of trap it was, Song Xuan asked everyone to leave a few routes. Although the possibility of counterattack was not great, there was always room for room.
If there is a chance to break the formation, you have to seize it.
If these three hundred people can be eaten, then the Black Feather tribe really has nothing to fear. Even if there are one or two thousand people, at least half of the more than three hundred adult males.
However, it is not realistic to keep them all in Teng She. If Teng She can hold on safely, it is already a good result.
After the tribe was arranged, everyone began to conduct targeted training. Shi Yu selected 20 people with better archery skills from the team to be responsible for using bows and arrows.
Although the bows and arrows in the tribe are not top-notch, they are the best they can do under the current circumstances.
For people like Shi Yu, there is basically no need to aim specifically. You can just shoot with a bow and an arrow, and in most cases it will be there.
On average, an arrow can be shot out in one or two seconds. The speed is quite terrifying. As long as there are enough arrows, even a short distance of a few dozen meters can pose a great threat to the enemy.
As for the others, Song Xuan wanted everyone to practice projectile shooting. After all, it might be dangerous if exposed.
But after trying several times, I still can't control the distance well. Even for a team of thirty people, the arrows are very scattered and cannot kill the enemy at all. As for whether they can hit the target, it all depends on luck. In this era when the battle is not intense, it seems difficult to function.
Of course, the main reason is that there are too few people. If all the bows in the tribe are gathered together, the effect will be quite good.
However, if Karasuba's people were not stupid enough to attack on only one side, this situation would definitely not happen.
While Song Xuan was training with everyone, Shi Ban came trotting over and said:
"Angel, the big bow you mentioned is made, can you see if it can be used?"
"Let's go and have a look!"
Song Xuan's original intention was to let Shi Ban make some relatively powerful bows, similar to the bed crossbows of later generations. After all, the range of existing bows is still a little short, and once it exceeds forty or fifty meters, it will be difficult to target them. The enemy poses a threat.
With the current level of technology, if you want to be powerful, you can only start with size.
But after discussing with Shi Ban, I realized that if it is too big, it is not practical to make it at present. It is not that it does not have this ability. If the tribe is given enough time, it can still save a super large bow.
But under the current conditions, neither the bow arm nor the bow string can meet this standard. Since the tribe does not have particularly good polishing conditions, the wood used to make the bow is selected first and then brought back. Although the growth is slow and the texture is very good, it can only be slightly polished on the original basis.
However, in order to prevent mistakes during production, some length will still be added. Of course, in most cases, this extra part will definitely not be used, and everyone also focuses on the usable section when selecting materials.
After selecting the materials, you have to go through a series of steps such as sanding, shaping, and drying. It usually takes several months to reach a satisfactory level.
Song Xuan wanted to customize a super-large bow at this time, but it was definitely not possible, at least because of time constraints, and there weren't many beasts whose tendons could have the ideal length.
However, if it is just an increase on the existing basis, there will be no problem. The bow we are making now is made directly from the raw materials without cutting the length.
Therefore, the bow arms are thirty to forty centimeters longer than ordinary bows. Fortunately, the tribe has been making bows and arrows on a small scale. This is to use the dried wood directly.
The bows in the tribe were already relatively long, and this one was as tall as one person. Song Xuan tried it, but he couldn't pull it open even with all his strength.
