Traveling through ancient times: Savages are hungry for food

Chapter 23 Preparation before the war (3)

After Sang Tian returned to the square, he had already made 6 ox horn bows and 13 bamboo bows.

There are a lot of bamboo arrows.

Sang Tian warned everyone not to touch the poisoned bamboo arrows if their fingers were injured, and that archers should not touch the tips when the real battle began.

Prevent toxins from entering the blood through the wound and flowing throughout the body.

Everyone asked in confusion, "Why can't we touch it?" "Is it okay to get a little scratch on my hand?"

Sang Tian didn't explain and said quietly, "Where did Yin get the thing in this bamboo tube from..."

Everyone was silent on the spot... no matter if they had scrapes or cuts, they quickly made way.

As expected, Yin you are still the most lethal...

Everyone can get the idea that something is Yin-Gui, so it must be something related to poisonous insects. You must never touch it.

With his hand completely fine, he began poisoning the arrows. He said poisoning, but in reality, he was just putting the arrows in to coat them with snake venom. He took them out and placed them under the shade of a tree in the square to dry.

Sang Tian also carefully arranged the females to make quivers.

At this moment, Lei picked up an ox horn bow, put a bamboo arrow on it according to Sang Jiao's instructions, and aimed at a big tree on the other side of the river...

"Whoosh", a sharp sound in the air passed by my ears.

Everyone followed and looked over. The bullet didn't hit the tree stump, but it brushed past it and tore off a piece of its bark.

Even so, everyone was shocked...

Such a long distance can threaten the enemy...

Lei fired another arrow.

This time it hit the target.

The arrow hit the center of the tree, a quarter of it embedded. Lei stepped forward and pulled it out, leaving a dark hole in the center of the tree.

"Oh my god, this weapon is amazing."

"Yeah, it's incredible that such a long distance can cause such great damage."

"This is still wood, it's so hard. If it shoots into a person, it's all flesh. Wouldn't it penetrate?"

Of course it's impossible to shoot it through. After all, it's just a bamboo arrow and it doesn't have that much power.

But this ancient man had extremely strong arms and a long range.

The most important thing is that the arrows are laced with snake venom. Even if they miss and only scratch the skin, they will still be hurt.

Sang Tian then asked everyone in the tribe's hunting team to pick up their bows and test their aim. They still needed practice.

Anyway, bamboo arrows are easy to make and there are plenty of them in the square.

So the originally harmonious square was now filled with the sounds of archery...

At this time, Sang Tian will start attacking the second item.

Bows and arrows are used for long-range shooting, but weapons are still needed for close combat.

Sang Tian had only given machetes and daggers to a few people in the tribe before.

This time, Sang Tian planned to assign all the items to the males. So, he and Duo came out of the cave carrying animal hide bags.

It was filled with machetes and daggers, two for each person.

Everyone present cheered and shouted like an atavistic person.

That's all I can do to defend Sang Tian.

After all, I'm not a weapons expert. Knowing the bow and arrow is just a simple skill.

As for defense...

Sang Tian first thought of a shield. The Spear Tribe was best at throwing spears, which, like her arrows, were long-range attack weapons.

But Sang Tian didn't believe that their spears could have the same long range and strong penetration as arrows.

When the spear is thrown with great force, it is necessary to create a defensive weapon that can withstand the huge impact brought by the spear.

A shield is undoubtedly the most suitable item, but there is no suitable material in this ancient tribe.

Sang Tian thought of a way.

First, find a large animal bone, which is not difficult to find.

The tribe had accumulated a large number of large animal bones over the years. These bones came from large prey and were incredibly hard. Even a spear thrown from a distance wouldn't be able to penetrate them.

The animal bones are wrapped with a layer of bison hide. The bison hide is thick and tough, and it is not easy to penetrate it.

Then glue a layer of wood behind the bone with animal glue to relieve the pain caused by the impact.

Three layers of protection, impeccable.

Sang Tian had to find a suitable piece of wood to serve as a buffer, and it couldn't be too hard, otherwise it would be impossible to cut down a big tree, let alone make it.

Sang Tian began to grope in the woods, and when he felt something suitable, he put his hand on it to test it.

"Ding, a camphor tree has been detected. Camphor trees are evergreen trees in the Lauraceae family. Their leaves are alternate, ovate, shiny above and slightly gray below..."

"Ding, an elderberry has been detected. It's a deciduous shrub or tree, usually 4 to 8 meters tall. The stem is smooth and multi-branched; the branches are gray-brown..."

"Ding, a Paulownia tree has been detected. Paulownia is light and tough, acid and rot resistant, and has good sound conductivity, making it a good material for making musical instruments."

Found it! This Paulownia tree is the wood Sang Tian wants. It's very suitable for making cushioning material, and it's also easy to cut.

Sang Tian called in other idle tribesmen to come chop down the tree. This ancient tree was very thick, so it was easy to carve out a piece of the right size.

As for wrapping the animal skin and gluing it to the bones, there is no technical requirement. Just give a little instruction.

When the people in the tribe started to do it, Sang Tian called over a hunting team of about 20 people.

At this time, plan to do the second defense method.

The bamboo forest they went to was the only place they had to pass through to invade the Tianlang tribe. It was about 6 miles away from the tribe.

Sang Tian planned to set the battlefield at 3 miles. Then he would set a trap at miles, miles, and miles respectively.

This is where Sang Tian wants to set up a hanging trap.

It’s very simple, just like what’s shown in TV dramas.

Several large nets were woven from green vines and hung on the thick branches of large trees. The hanging nets were then spread on the ground.

Sprinkle fallen leaves to cover it. If you pick one when you pass by, it will trigger the mechanism and lift it up.

Sang Tian had woven a large vine net, so she had to find a way to gather people together and stop at this spot. Otherwise, if she only pulled up one person at a time, wouldn't it be a waste of this large net?

Or throw a wild boar, the temptation is great enough hehe. Sang Tian doesn't believe that they can turn a blind eye after seeing a wild boar.

The trees that Sang Tian chose were extremely tall. Even if they were hung up, they were still so high that primitive people would not be able to climb up and untie them immediately.

Sang Tian arranged for a few more people to make some noise in the woods when they arrived, so that they would mistakenly think that someone from the Tianlang tribe had discovered them.

With their retreat blocked, they had no choice but to advance immediately. Furthermore, the bamboo arrows were stockpiled, with each person receiving two barrels each of poisonous and non-toxic varieties.

As for why Sang Tian did this, it was because she had already considered one aspect.

If the tribe poisons all the attacking males, how will they feed so many people after the rest of the tribe is absorbed by the Sirius tribe?

Furthermore, if all the males died, the annexed females and their children would not truly belong to the tribe and would harbor resentment. This would invite wolves into the tribe.

After all, the ones who died were their sons, husbands, and fathers...

How could it be possible to rely solely on the males of the Sirius tribe to hunt?

Therefore, these males must not all die.

The males in this trap and the next two traps were all laborers that Sang Tian had left behind to work hard and earn food for the tribe.

Finally, Sang Tian is not a murderer. He does all this just to protect the tribe, himself, and his home in another world.

Fight to protect... not to kill.

The battlefield was to be located three miles from the tribe, where the males of the tribe would be waiting for them.

The people of the Mountain Tiger Tribe and the Spear Tribe are actually a coalition of two factions, and their strength should not be underestimated.

The distance of the battlefield will definitely gradually approach the tribe.

Attacks within a 3-mile radius will be made using non-toxic arrows.

As long as the wound is not in a critical part of the body, they will not die. However, the pain will definitely hinder their movement. If the wound is in the leg, they may even be unable to move and can only rest on the spot.

As soon as the distance is only one mile, attack with poison arrows immediately.

This distance has already threatened the safety of the tribe. We can no longer show mercy.

There were two more traps also between two and four miles away, which was Sang Tian's previous "one pit, multiple catches" trap hunting method.

The branches should be laid out thickly so that more than one can be caught in one pit.

There are big wooden stakes piled at the bottom of a pit. If you go in, you will definitely sprain your ankle, hurt your waist, or feel so painful that you can't get up.

There is no way to save him even if I want to.

Poisonous creatures raised by Yin are placed at the bottom of a pit. Anyway, Yin can control these things so that they don't bite people.

The father didn't dare to save the one he wanted to save, so he had to give up.

Now we can’t use wild boars as bait. They must have been prepared and won’t be fooled again.

Therefore, Sang Tian had to take advantage of the terrain, the growth pattern of trees, and the shape of the stone arrangement. If that didn't work, he had to use broken wooden stakes to arrange the terrain so that they could only walk in that area and would definitely fall into the trap.

As for the last line of defense...

Sang Tian dug another trap in the woods across the tribal river, but it was no longer filled with wooden stakes and poison...

It was a layer of Sang Tian's daggers. As long as it fell in...

If no one rescues you, you will definitely see your great-grandmother.

As for the warriors in the tribe, their limbs were also tightly tied with hard tree bark and then covered with a piece of bison skin.

The warriors' backs, chests, and abdomens were all covered with large animal bones.

A helmet is woven from bamboo on the head.

Even in close combat, the damage from the opponent's fists and bone knives can be minimized.
