The most arrogant in history

Qin Chou said, "Since you've put up the money, no matter how many tigers we kill, you'll get 30% of it, and the rest will be divided equally among us, is that ok?"

"Do not."

Ye Kun waved his hand and said, "I will take 20% and the rest will be divided half between the tiger hunting team and the other half between the villagers. The tiger meat will be divided in the same way and all the villagers will have a share. Because hunting tigers requires the cooperation of the whole village, everyone contributes and everyone will benefit."

This time, the whole village needs to be mobilized to fight the tiger.

As the saying goes, there will always be brave men when there is a big reward. If we want everyone to work together, we have to be willing to bleed.

Moreover, the villagers are really pitiful, and Ye Kun also wants to help and fight for welfare for the elderly, the weak, the sick, the disabled, the widows, the widowers, and the lonely.

Qin Chou didn't care: "As long as we can kill a tiger, everything is fine. If you can really kill ten tigers, even if our tiger-hunting team gets 20%, we will be rich."

Ye Kun nodded: "Tomorrow morning, everyone will gather at my house."

After Qin Chou left, Ye Kun went into the carpenter's workshop again and used the existing materials to make some small parts of the crossbow in advance.

Until late at night.

Caidie had no place to sleep, so she went to Daixi's house next door and slept with Daixi.

Dai Xi is also afraid of tigers, but having colorful butterflies as companions is something he would love to have.

Jiang Yourong came over and asked Ye Kun to rest: "Da Lang, it's late at night, don't overwork yourself."

Ye Kun nodded and went to sleep with Jiang Yourong.

Jiang Yourong lay down, hooked her arm around Ye Kun's neck, and sighed slightly: "Da Lang, I'm really worried. Four members of the Guanjia Village Tiger Hunting Team have died..."

"Don't worry, Yourong, your man is the most capable. Killing a tiger is as easy as drinking water."

Ye Kun, however, was not too worried and was still thinking about performing the Zhougong ritual with Jiang Yourong.

Feeling satisfied, he fell asleep.

The next morning.

Qin Chou brought members of the tiger-hunting team to gather at Ye Kun's house.

Ye Kun called everyone, carried the big camphor tree, brought hemp ropes and tools, and came to the main road leading into the mountains.

Then, Ye Kun drew a square on the ground with a side length of two meters, and asked everyone to dig holes in the four corners and bury the trees.

After the four big trees were buried, crossbeams and diagonal braces were added between them to make them a solid whole.

Use branches as thick as arms to build a platform at the top.

There are two guard towers, fifty meters apart.

The upper platform is more than ten feet above the ground and covers an area of ​​four square meters, on which a crossbow can be mounted.

Qin Erwu limped up the platform, tested its stability, and laughed:

"It is indeed a sure bet to kill tigers from this height. From now on, I will be on duty up there and kill any tigers I see."

"no!"

Ye Kun waved his hand and said, "Put the sentry tower here first. No one is allowed to act rashly or alert the enemy! Wait until I have made a strong bow and crossbow, then we can talk about fighting the tiger."

It just so happened that the county lieutenant Shangguan Jifu sent four of his men on fast horses to deliver everything Ye Kun wanted.

Ye Kun checked and found all the materials were complete. He also gave him a set of carpentry tools from the military craftsman workshop, which were much better than the carpentry tools at home.

"Very good. Thank the county lieutenant for me when you get back."

Ye Kun thanked them and asked everyone to move the materials into his workshop.

The soldier delivering the materials said, "These materials cost three taels of silver in total. The county lieutenant said that he would deduct it from the reward money after you kill the tiger."

Damn, so stingy?

Ye Kun shook his head, entered the small workshop, and immediately began to develop bows and arrows.

Qin Erwu and Yan Liuhai helped on the side, ready to take orders.

Led by Qin Chou, other villagers continued to cut down trees and prepare to build more guardhouses.

Ye Kun and his two assistants worked for five hours and successfully made the first simple double-bow and double-arrow crossbow.

There is also a simple operating stand that can fix the crossbow on the bench.

"Double bows with double arrows, this has never been seen in the army. Will it work?" Qin Erwu was excited but also very skeptical.

"Try it and you'll know if it works."

Ye Kun asked his assistant to light a torch, and went to Yao Heifu's house, and started the experiment facing the abandoned earth wall of his house.

The three of them worked together to string the arrow.

Then pull the trigger.

collapse!

Two long arrows were shot out and directly penetrated the one-foot thick earth wall a hundred steps away!

The earth wall was also shaken!

"Oh my god, that's awesome!"

Qin Erwu was shocked.

“Is this considered amazing?”

Ye Kun chuckled, stepped forward to check the accuracy, and then made adjustments.

The triple-bow crossbow can shoot up to 800 steps. The thing I hastily made has a range of only 300 steps. Compared with the triple-bow crossbow, it's nothing more than a grandson.

However, just this range has already exceeded the strongest bow and arrow of the Da Ding Kingdom.

After repeated adjustments and tests, two hours later, the first strong bow and crossbow was completed.

Ye Kun was also tired, so he took a shower and went to bed.

Continue working the next day.

Qin Chou led the villagers to cut trees and built two guardhouses at the west end of the village.

Ye Kun, together with Qin Erwu and Yan Liuhai, created the second double-bow and double-arrow crossbow.

In order to facilitate operation, a crosshair was set up, and Qin Erwu and several other hunters were asked to practice target shooting and become proficient in the operation.

Dusk.

Ye Kun was holding a meeting in front of the door, recruiting soldiers and deploying generals.

"Tonight, we will hunt tigers at the sentry tower in the south of the village. Qin Erwu and I will each bring two brothers and be in charge of two sentry towers respectively. Qin Erwu and I will be the main shooters, and the other two will be assistants. After discovering a tiger, listen to my command and shoot arrows at the same time.

Each guard tower is also equipped with spears and ordinary bows and arrows.

When we shot a tiger, we beat drums and raised fire as a signal.

The village chief Qin Chou brought a few brothers to serve as messengers. When they saw the fire in the sentry tower, they immediately led a large force to join them.

The villagers were eager to fight, and shouted: "We all listen to Ye Dalang!"

"set off!"

Ye Kun waved.

The villagers flocked to the south of the village, carrying the two little fat sheep.

Fifty meters south of the watchtower, wooden stakes were driven in.

The two lambs were tied with long ropes and tied to wooden stakes, with a range of movement of thirty meters.

These two sheep were bought from the landlord Zhou Taigong in the village for more than four hundred copper coins.

Ye Kun and others made hats out of willow twigs, put them on their heads, climbed up the watchtower, set up the crossbows, and disguised themselves.

The crossbow is mounted on a bench and the angle and direction can be adjusted at will.

Ye Kun had also calculated that because of the height of the watchtower, it provided a good shooting angle, which enhanced the power of the crossbow.

Qin Chou led the other villagers back and arranged for the messengers to lurk in the front row of the village to observe the movements of the sentry tower.

The village is only a hundred meters away from the watchtower.

On the watchtower.

Ye Kun ordered:

"From now on, no talking or coughing is allowed. Even your breathing must be controlled. Just lie still and don't move. Keep your eyes open and stare at the two goats. Tonight, we will strive to win the first battle!"

"understand!"

Qin Erwu and others answered in unison.

Night falls.

A bright moon jumped into the sky, illuminating the ground like silver.

Green grass and vegetables were deliberately placed outside the activity range of the two goats.

The goat had been hungry for a day and was now tied up by a long rope. It was just a little bit away from eating the vegetables, so it bleated anxiously and pulled the rope straight.

Just as Shangguan Jifu said, all the tigers in the southern part of Daxiang Mountain were driven here, and there were large numbers of them.

The goat's call quickly attracted the prey.

Less than an hour later, two tigers, one big and one small, quietly emerged from the woods in the south.
