They tried the crossbow for a whole afternoon without avoiding other people, so soon the whole tribe knew that there was such a powerful weapon that was easy to operate and could be used by anyone.
Everyone is talking about this new weapon and eager to get one.
Ye Xi said to the chief, and then gave all the craftsmen to the stone house and asked them to make crossbows and arrows together.
In order to save time, ye Xi asked the craftsmen to divide the work. Each craftsman was responsible for making part of the crossbow, and finally a craftsman was responsible for assembling the crossbow.
In this way, craftsmen don''t have to spend much time learning, but the speed of making is very fast. Fortunately, there were enough materials such as animal tendons in the tribe. It took us only five days to make more than 100 crossbows.
The women in the tribe were not idle. They were organized by duo and began to make arrows day and night in the stone house. After five days, the women made more than 800 qualified arrows.
When the crossbow was finished, ye Xi asked everyone to look for a centipede on the mountain. After catching the live water centipede, bring it back to extract its venom.
Unfortunately, there are not many centipedes in the water. After turning over the whole Xiaotu mountain, only 50 of them were caught.
Ye Xi selected two old people with quick hands and feet to take charge of raising these water centipedes. He usually fed them with other insects caught on the mountain. Then he collected the venom regularly and put it in a sealed small jar.
Ye Xi planned to paint all the arrows with the venom of the water centipede.
Because there are so few poisonous things on Xiaotu mountain, they are not enough. Although the water centipede venom can''t stop the blood, it can make people paralyzed enough to make people ache.
He tested the venom of this water centipede.
Take a soldier of first rank as an example. If you are shot in the right arm, after about ten to twenty seconds, the soldier''s right arm will begin to paralyze. The duration of paralysis depends on the amount of venom. If one arrow is shot, it will probably paralyze people for about two minutes.
In these two minutes, his right arm will be very stiff and his strength will be weakened.
For level two soldiers, at least two poisonous arrows are shot in the same arm to paralyze them.
Moreover, the venom of water centipede can not be exposed to the air for a long time. It is better to use the arrows soaked in the venom immediately. Once the venom is exposed for a long time, the toxicity will be greatly reduced.
The centipede is cheating, even if it''s poisonous water.
Ye Xi decided that all ordinary people in the tribe would have one of these 100 or so crossbows, except for a few old people with limited mobility, children under the age of seven, and women who were pregnant within three months or less than eight months.
In other words, all the children over seven years old in the tribe and the old people with flexible hands and feet, including pregnant women, should join the war.
There were more than 50 Tu tribe slaves in Tushan. Ye Xi allowed those slaves who dared to participate in the battle and who were not so hostile to Tushan. Promise them to be freed from slavery once they have done something.
He planned for the worst for the coming tribal war. If no allies can be found, Tu Shan will have to face a powerful enemy alone? Tushan has a small population, so one more combat power is one.
Although the catapults were built in a hurry.
But the archery of the catapult should be guaranteed. Otherwise, if the arrow stained with anesthetic fluid is shot at his own soldiers during the war, he will be speechless.
Therefore, ye Xi formulated a strict training and assessment plan.
The catapults pay attention to group warfare and cooperation. Ye Xi divided the archers into groups of ten, because there were 145 people in total, so the last group was 15.
In the first week, ye Xi asked all groups to practice still life, shooting trees or leaves. Anyway, they had to be familiar with crossbow as soon as possible.
The next week, all the catapults will begin to practice against the moving target. Because on the battlefield, the enemy will not stand still.
Ye Xi asked them to match two groups at will, one group practicing and the other as a "living target". When ten people with a live target need to change into a special "target kit". This kind of "target set" is totally enclosed, only two eyes are exposed, and thick wooden boards are adhered to the hide.
When practicing, all the "living targets" should run to simulate the appearance of the enemy''s attack, so that the archer can practice.
After a week''s practice, all the catapults will have a test.
After this assessment, the crossbow team will be re grouped according to their performance.
The best archers will be assigned to the first group of catapults, the second group to the second group, and then to the third group This goes all the way to the fourteenth worst group.
The best group 1 and the worst group 14 become the practice group.
The first group had more practice time, and the fourteenth group had more time to be a "live target". The time ratio is about five to one, that is, the first group practiced for 50 minutes and made 10 minutes of "live target", while the fourteenth group practiced for 10 minutes and made the "live target" for 50 minutes.
Then the second group and the thirteenth group were paired into the exercise group, and the time ratio was slightly adjusted.In this order
The training time of group 7 and group 8 was the same.
Such assessment is conducted once a week, and the grouping will be rearranged after each assessment.
A month later, ye Xi will conduct a final assessment.
After that time, all the crossbow groups after eight groups, that is, groups 8 to 14, will be eliminated and can only be used as targets for other groups.
We should know that the archer with bad archery is better to disband, otherwise, it will only add chaos in the battle.
As soon as this regulation was issued, all the archers were nervous and excited.
Everyone doesn''t want to be eliminated. Everyone doesn''t think he will lose and become one of the eliminated members.
Time was running out and they began to practice hard.
After ye Xi and others explained these things, in addition to occasionally watching them practice, they stayed all day in the stone house of the sorcerer to help draw the witch patterns.
The Witch wants to get rid of the dominoes as soon as possible, and strive for each soldier to wear two blessing dominoes. You should know that the effect of witch''s blessing and Domino''s blessing can be superimposed.
After finishing his daily drawing tasks, ye Xi would help the sorcerers carve for a while, so that they could have a rest.
He can now carve three dominoes a day.
It is worth mentioning that the dominoes made from the fragments of ferocious tortoise shell have been made.
The witch pattern carved on this piece of tortoise shell is different from other dominoes, which is a special strange pattern.
When ye Xi drew this strange witch pattern, he did it several times even with the help of tools. And the sorcerer carving, is more difficult, full of three days to do a good job.
According to the witch, it''s the guardian bone. Can withstand a level 4 totem warrior''s full blow.
What is this equivalent to? It''s equivalent to one more life!
The sorcerer gave this extremely precious domino to Ye Xi.
Ye Xi thought about it for a while, but he didn''t refuse.
Time goes by day by day.
With the sun''s exposure, the water in the water gradually evaporated, and the water level dropped to about one person''s depth. The giant animals in the water retreated back to the big rivers and lakes, waiting for the next rainy season to return.
It''s time to send someone out looking for the alliance tribe.
