Although it's just three arrows, it actually has a great impact on the result of the battle.
Because one side is undamaged, all of them are long-range shooting, while the other side is reducing its personnel.
On the battlefield, one-to-one and two-to-one are completely different treatments.
The common ground of the so-called art of war lies in the use of various methods, resulting in the situation of fighting with more and fighting with less, so as to form an advantage in terms of military strength.
And flying mice are not undead. As long as they are natural life, there is a saying of morale. For example, before, needle gold directly solved the flying rat leader, which made the remaining flying rats collapse and directly scattered and fled.
The number of archery, in fact, can not be much.
The number of archery has increased, which has greatly consumed their physical strength. They are only temporary archers, and their physical strength should be more allocated in close combat, otherwise the gains are not worth the loss.
Next, the work of adjusting the bow was left to Bai Ya.
Yellow algae and cyanobacteria have only a small part of the leadership ability, and at most they take a team to charge on the deck of the sea ship.
As for needle gold, he can't adjust the bow himself. Let alone Cang Xu and Zi di.
Bai Ya, the son of hunter, is ordinary in strength. If he hadn't fallen on this island, he would definitely be indifferent to everyone. It's really mediocre. But now in this case, he can rely on his own ability to shine a glimmer of light.
For him, this island has great danger, but it also has great opportunities.
"In the final analysis, there are too few talents under my subordinates. Those with a little talent, like Bai Ya, can stand out." Needle gold sighed in the dark.
Bai Ya led several people to adjust the bow, and the rest of them would certainly not be idle.
Huang Zao continued to hunt. The main goal was not to get food, but to aim at those wild birds and harvest feathers.
Cyanobacteria continued to investigate around the flying rat community.
Wooden shields and Hunter traps were made by people one after another.
There is also hemp rope woven from tree bark silk, the short one is used for bowstring, and the long one is used for binding, such as the production of shield. The reserve of hemp rope continues to rise. These things are very inconspicuous, but they are very practical.
No one can estimate how long they will stay on this island, so hemp rope should be stored as much as possible.
According to cangxu's introduction, hemp rope is actually widely used.
In addition to its own functions, hemp rope and hemp rope can be combined to weave into a net. The net bag can carry things, form a cloth cover, and weave into straw sandals.
Cang Xu also participated in it. He provided an extremely simple loom.
This kind of loom uses a dozen small wooden piles inserted into the soil, and the small wooden piles are arranged in two rows. One row of small wooden piles is spaced one at a time and fixed with a horizontal stick.
After the small wooden piles are wound on the line, dozens of vertical lines are formed in parallel. Lift the stick once, half of the small stakes will be lifted, and then half of the vertical lines will rise.
At this time, insert the only horizontal line along the tilted angle. Put down the vertical line again, and a horizontal line and a dozen vertical lines will be compact, which completes the basic action of weaving.
Repeat this action dozens or hundreds of times, and a piece of cloth will be born smoothly.
This kind of loom is extremely primitive, and its efficiency cannot be compared with that of the looms in the Empire, one on the ground and one in the sky. A person who spends less than half a day's work can only get a small piece with a big ass.
But it does save a lot of manpower and material resources, and the work efficiency is much higher than that of simple labor.
The explorers who used these looms to work lamented cangxu's profound knowledge. However, Cang Xu told them that this kind of loom was obtained when he studied the orc data.
Compared with the Terran Empire, although the orcs occupied the wild continent, they generally existed in the form of tribes, and their living standards and productivity were generally low. This kind of loom is common among orcs.
As for Zidi, she is mainly responsible for making poisons. Zhijin clearly told her that she needed a poison, which could dissipate naturally, or disappear by boiling, baking, etc. Or simply, even if this poison exists, it is only effective for flying rats and does no great harm to human body.
After all, hunting flying rats with needle gold requires food. If the poison is too strong, even if these flying rats are poisoned, their meat cannot be eaten. For the whole exploration team, the loss will be far greater than the gain.
At present, the environment is extremely simple, and Zidi can only barely try. She also asked that flying rats be tested in vivo.
Zhijin set out secretly to spy on the flying rat community with cyanobacteria.
Cang Xu stayed in the camp to command and dispatch.
After adjusting the bow, Bai Ya led the crowd to test fire again.
In the evening, the leaders met again to exchange their respective gains.
Needle gold and cyanobacteria caught three live flying mice and gave them to Zi di.
Huang Zao didn't have any prey. His hunting didn't rely on combat power. He also lost some iron arrows. These iron arrows are very precious. Use one less.
But they didn't harvest - Huang Zao and his party failed to hunt, so they had to go further and try their luck. As a result, they accidentally found a small bamboo forest.
Bamboo is a very excellent resource. Bamboo with bamboo knots is a natural water storage container. Bamboo can make bamboo rafts, and bamboo sharpening can make traps.
on the third day
"Shoot!" At the command of Huang Zao, many flying arrows flew out.
A dozen simple targets were set up at a distance of 120 steps.
Concentric circles were also drawn on the target with charcoal fire, but not to mention a few rings. Few arrows were shot on the target.
The ring on the target is a little small, almost like a flying mouse. But in real battle, people will shoot flying rats, and these flying rats will move.
So the result of archery is really unacceptable.
"Your posture is wrong."
"Keep your waist straight and your arms straight."
"Stable, stable. What are you shaking?!"
Huang Zao served as an instructor.
He frowned and felt great pressure in his heart.
In comparison, the first shooter in the whole team is needle gold.
The second is Bai Ya. This young man's shooting skill is still above Huang Zao and others. After all, for him, this is the craft of eating and making a living all year round.
Hunters don't fight hard when hunting. This is just a way for them to make a living. In addition to the hound, the trap most used by hunters. Bows are also used a lot. Excellent hunters, who encounter large beasts that they cannot hunt, will choose to give way or stop.
Huang Zao and cyanobacteria are good at close combat. When shooting at a long distance, they use crossbows more than bows. They lived on the ship, so they specially practiced archery.
Huang Zao's hunting result was a mess yesterday. Today, he was arranged by needle gold to become a temporary instructor.
In order to save his face, Huang Zao worked very hard.
If you train others, yellow algae is more reliable. Although his shooting is a little worse than Bai Ya.
Bai Ya archery relies more on feeling, pure wild road.
Huang Zao has at least been trained and knows the key to archery.
"First, we need to carry out personal assault and hard training, and then form an arrow screen shooting. Now this kind of shooting, the most basic arrow screen can't be formed." Zhijin inspected the training, and saw this situation, his heart was also quite anxious, but he didn't show anything on the surface.
Today, white buds are responsible for hunting instead of yellow algae. The main target is wild birds. The exploration team needs more feathers to make arrow tails.
No one expects him to hunt enough food.
The risk of individual hunting is very high, and the efficiency is actually very low. Most of them eat according to the weather to test their luck.
Throughout the Empire, the life of hunters is actually very hard.
Therefore, as the saying goes: hunting is not as good as herding, and herding is not as good as farming.
Under normal circumstances, hunters don't have enough to eat. Compared with hunters and herdsmen, farmers who farm land have the most stable life and the most guaranteed quality of life.
Hunters seem to have meat sources. In fact, most of the mountains and forests are the territory of aristocrats. Hunters who go poaching without permission will be severely punished once caught.
In this situation, the exploration team can only rely on large-scale hunting to meet its own food consumption.
This day's training lasted from morning to evening. After eating, the exploration team members were not in the mood to talk and laugh, and fell asleep in their tents.
In the tent of Zhijin, Cang Xu looked sad and reported the severe situation at present.
"Lord Zhen Jin, we don't have much food, so we can say that we have consumed a lot. If it goes on like this, it won't last for a few days."
Needle gold has a dull complexion and a calm mood.
He himself is very strange about this. In these two days, his originally anxious mood gradually calmed down.
He adapted to this pressure, but comforted Cang Xu: "we have to train archery. It's urgent. We can only bite our teeth and stick to it! Without basic archery, it's useless to start a war rashly. Such hard training will indeed consume physical strength, thereby increasing the consumption of food. But now consuming food and improving archery will bring about a reduction in the number of people in the future fight. This is very cost-effective."
"I understand, my Lord." Cang Xu nodded, "it's just that in this way, our food is consumed violently. Everyone knows this, and the team members are very worried."
Zhen Jin smiled, "then tell them clearly how much rations we have left. Even if necessary, let each of them see our food reserves with their own eyes."
Cang Xu's face changed slightly and said in a deep voice, "I understand, sir."
the forth day
Shooting range.
Although the arms are sore and even have obvious swelling, the exploration team members are serious, gritting their teeth and practicing hard.
They all know the food reserves in the team, and have a very clear understanding of their situation - now is to put all your eggs in one basket. If the hunt fails, what awaits them is destruction!
Under this pressure, everyone worked hard and spared no effort to practice archery.
Although the early training results were unattractive, after everyone adapted, the situation of arrow shooting improved greatly.
Few arrows hit the bull's-eye, but most of them can hit the target.
Seeing that the result of archery stabilized, Huang Zao immediately removed the fixed target and replaced it with a mobile target.
These moving targets are short wooden piles, which are tied with hemp rope, and the other end of the rope is hung on high branches. After pulling up the stake, let go, and the stake swayed under the tree.
Huang Zao asked the team members to shoot arrows at the stake.
The performance immediately declined and became worse than before!
No one complains. Everyone knows that in actual combat, flying rats move faster and change direction more than wooden stakes.
Practice, practice constantly.
Every breathing time is cherished.
At lunch, the team members were silent and the atmosphere was very dignified.
Many people subconsciously frown, constantly ponder and reflect on what they should do to improve archery.
When resting in the tent, they also try to do the action of bowing, even if there is no bow in their hands.
After the training, the team members kneaded each other's arms.
Many people can't lift their arms. Swelling of the arms is common to all.
Fortunately, there is the medicine provided by Zidi.
These potions are temporarily configured. Originally, they were suitable for extraordinary people. Now they are diluted and used on these ordinary players. They still have a strong recovery effect.
These drugs are used externally and orally, which can basically recover the arm after a night's rest.
At dinner, everyone was greeted by a lack of water.
Scattered wild vegetables seem to be dotted seasonings.
The players' faces changed one after another, but they didn't say anything.
Everyone can understand the seriousness of the situation.
"Cang Xu, come out." The sound of needle gold came from afar.
"Why is this all for dinner?" Needle gold seemed to question cangxu.
"Adult, there is not enough food. We can only do this!" Cang must answer needle gold.
Zhijin retorted, "but I remember, there are still some reserves. It's not possible to do so!"
"Sir, those are the only dry food left for you and Lord Zidi."
"Take them out."
"Your Excellency?"
"Take it out! How can you train and fight if you don't have enough food?"
This dialogue made everyone's mood fluctuate, and many people showed a touch of emotion.
"Sir, please let us attack." That night, some team members took the initiative to find needle gold and asked to attack.
But Zhijin rejected the request: "training. You need more training!"
The Fifth Day
Training, training, or training!
In the evening, according to the results of needle gold inspection, it was gratified to find that five of the ten arrows could hit the target.
The moving target is relatively large, much larger than the real flying rat. But this achievement has reached the standard of needle gold.
He has never trained every player into a marksman, which is impossible in a short time. In fact, everyone's qualification also determines the upper limit of archery.
But the arrow screen can make up for the lack of accuracy.
Such archery can form a qualified arrow screen.
In the afternoon, Cang Xu also came to persuade Zhen Jin, "you can attack, sir."
"Wait a minute." Needle gold is more firm.
This kind of concentration made him feel a little surprised.
PS: Recently, I found a very good book pushing official account called "thirty six strategies for book shortage", which professionally recommends and comments on novels. There are many excellent online novels recommended in No. 1, and I often go shopping, so I especially recommend Amway to you. You can go and have a look, which is very useful!
