In order to complete the military integration of the six ethnic groups, Xu Chen specially made two red and white flags.
He served as the new flag officer, rode on his horse, and commanded according to Xu Chen's instructions.
All military exercise teams, after hearing the sound of the bugle, must arrange flag bearers to watch the movement of the flag, and then the military leaders led by each ethnic group will make corresponding actions to attack, outflank or retreat.
Because it was the first time to use semaphores, Xu Chen had no command experience in this area, so the entire training situation was very confusing.
The semaphores are a bit complicated and often misunderstood. These semaphores are also a huge test for the observers. They only have a simple explanation by Xu Chen, and it is not easy to fully understand and remember them.
The first collective offensive and defensive drill ended in less than half an hour. Xu Chen convened a meeting with the commanders and flag bearers and trumpeters of the four tribes to analyze the reasons for the chaos, summarize good experiences, streamline and rectify areas that were too complicated, etc.
wait.
The second exercise resumed shortly afterwards.
This time the semaphore signal is much simpler, mainly conveying commands through the sound of horns. The four tribes now have their own trumpeters. The use of sound interaction is relatively easier to accept and distinguish than the Lingqi, which takes the lead.
The command became an auxiliary command.
An hour later, the training was suspended again, and Xu Chen called all tribal officers and flag bearers and buglers for a second military meeting.
This time, based on the experience and lessons gained, the command actions were revised again, adding the interaction between the commander's flag and the flags of various ethnic groups. Xu Chen's Qinglong flag and Wang's flag were the main deputy commander's flags. The movement of Wang's flag meant
Attack, the movement of the dragon flag means defense, the waving direction of the flag is the action order of the team in the corresponding direction, and the red and white flags become a simple semaphore signal in conjunction with the horn, because the horn sounds will affect each other, if you do not follow the horn after hearing the horn,
If you know the command intention clearly, you can make judgment and analysis by observing the command flag.
After two modifications to the way of commanding and transmitting orders, the third exercise obviously seemed to be much smoother. There was no chaos like the first time. The four teams also gradually became familiar with flags and horns.
, and the cooperation between them gradually became familiar and smooth.
For a whole afternoon, Xu Chen stayed at the river beach with the hunter team of the four tribes, constantly training and improving the command methods and order transmission system.
Repeated discussions, training, and running-in.
By the time the sun set in the evening, the four teams were already cooperating well. Based on several summarized simple flags and horn sounds, they were able to roughly understand Xu Chen's command intentions and make corresponding changes.
This made Xu Chen couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and show a relatively satisfied smile. In fact, the officers and flag bearers and buglers of all races who participated in the command also felt extremely excited and excited.
Because these progress and changes are the result of their joint participation.
In the repeated military summary meetings, Xu Chen encouraged everyone to speak freely and put forward their own opinions and opinions. No matter whether these opinions were good or bad, they were brought out for everyone to discuss together. If they are useful, they will be used, and if they are not useful, they will be used.
Also sum up experience from it.
Under this lively exchange, the military leaders and flag bearers and trumpeters of several tribes who were not familiar with each other quickly became familiar with each other, and understood and communicated with each other to enhance command experience and methods, making the hunters between different tribes
The team also quickly integrated during the exercise.
While the military exercise was going on, many men, women, and children of the Uzbek tribe were watching on the river beach. The chief of the Uzbek tribe and some leaders were also observing. The twin little witches stood at the entrance of the cave halfway up the mountain and watched almost the entire military exercise.
From the very beginning, the teams participating in the performance were carrying flags, dancing and blowing horns, attacking and retreating without any order, to the end, the four teams gradually became more proficient and smooth in their cooperation, attacking and defending in an orderly manner, and outflanking, raiding, and reinforcing all seemed to be in order and coordinated.
The mood of all observers is also undergoing huge changes.
The ordinary men, women, and children of the Uzbek ethnic group naturally looked at the excitement, laughing, being surprised, shouting, and cheering.
The chief of the Wu tribe and a group of tribal leaders had more complex emotions and had a better understanding of Xu Chen's magical abilities.
Every time Xu Chen and the Ba people come, they can almost see huge changes.
From the beginning, an ordinary boy who didn't like to talk, he grew up to the point where he can now lead the six tribes in less than two years.
As leaders of tribes and families, they knew very well that whether it was the Ba tribe or the current six-tribe alliance, the real core and leader had unknowingly become Xu Chen.
Although women rely on reproduction and collection, they occupy a dominant position in distribution.
But men are the core strength of a tribe.
Not only because they are needed for hunting to provide meat supplements, but more importantly, they are needed to protect the tribe.
Only with a strong team of hunters can the tribe be peaceful and stable, and women can gather, give birth and raise offspring with peace of mind.
And Xu Chen, through his own reputation and prestige, has now trained all the most powerful hunters from the six tribes to obey his unified command.
We have come this far step by step, and no matter how stupid the leader of the Wu tribe is, he will still slowly realize that something is wrong.
But so what, it's too late.
In the past, the leader of the Wu tribe had the support of Lei, a veteran tribal warrior, and a large number of followers, who could express dissatisfaction or even confront Xu Chen.
But now even Lei has surrendered to Xu Chen.
Long even admired Xu Chen with all his heart.
The Wu tribe finally completely lost the method of controlling their tribe's hunters.
After a grand and simple campfire dinner, Xu Chen summoned the Uzbek tribe chief and a group of leaders to formally discuss the plan for arranging the mining and smelting of the copper mine.
This matter had already been discussed last time. This time it was just the official start, so it was relatively simple. After deciding on the plan after a simple discussion, Xu Chen stopped worrying about it and brought the two people he brought with him.
The kiln workers stayed as smelting experts to guide the Uzbek people in selecting sites to build smelting furnaces, and officially started large-scale copper smelting and processing.
Of course, this large scale is only relative to the Ba people.
Before this trip, the Ba people smelted their second furnace of copper, using more than a thousand kilograms of ore to smelt more than a hundred kilograms of copper. Most of them were simply cast into tools such as knives, hammers, axes, etc. However, due to the high quality of copper,
Soft, these tools are mainly used to make models and decorations, and are of little use. Their symbolic significance is far greater than their practical significance.
There was still some copper left, which he simply cast into three to five kilograms of copper blocks. The purple-red pieces were piled on the table, which looked very eye-catching.
Now that copper can be mined, smelted and processed on-site by the Uzbek people, according to Xu Chen's speculation, there is no problem in getting two thousand kilograms a year. In fact, so much copper can only be temporarily stored until lead and tin are found for further smelting and processing.
It seems that after returning this time, we can build a special heating furnace and start experimenting with making more complex metal objects through casting and forging methods.
In addition, with pepper, it seems that I can make a copper hot pot to cook mutton in winter.
Everything is going well at the moment, but the food aspect is not ideal, mainly because the salt cannot be found.
Xu Chen felt quite regretful.
…
Rest one night in Uzu.
Early the next morning, Xu Chen led a team of hunters from the four tribes, holding six flags, and set out for the Ji tribe amidst the sound of horns.
As the witches of the Six Clans Alliance, the twin sisters were the main figures in this operation. Therefore, the two sisters each held their own great witch staffs and left surrounded by hundreds of hunters.
Xu Chen had already walked on the road from the Wu tribe to the Ji tribe when he last assisted the Cang tribe, and was quite familiar with it. In addition, this time he was traveling during the day, so he was not in a hurry, so he slowly traveled around like a spring outing, even in the
Several joint hunting operations were held on the road, and the harvest was quite fruitful. More than ten wild animals, large and small, were hunted. By the time we arrived at the Ji clan, the sun was almost setting again.
Rest one night in Ji Clan and set off for Cang Clan the next day.
Staying in the Cang tribe for another day, Xu Chen arranged for the hunters of the six tribes to hold another integration training.
With the results of the training of the four tribes in the Wu tribe, and the training experience held by the three tribes when Xu Chen visited the Cang tribe of the Ji tribe last time, the integration of the hunter troops of the six tribes this time went very smoothly, but it took only half a day for all the commanders and hunters to
The team will be able to achieve unified coordination.
This is the first real joint training for the hunters of the six tribes after completing the military training of each tribe.
Although Xu Chen treats hunters from all tribes equally, it is obvious that the training and equipment level of the Ba tribe are much better than those of other tribes.
This time, all members of the Ba tribe, including the captive corps, have armor and new weapons, and the leather boots and forehead straps are almost completely unified.
However, the equipment level of the other five tribes is obviously very different. Not to mention the uniformity of armor and weapons, in fact, most hunters still wear fur skirts, with a primitive appearance of bare buttocks and naked bodies, and there is smear on their body and face.
Painted with colorful paint, it is no different from the situation when Xu Chen just traveled through time.
The Ba people have undergone earth-shaking changes in the past two years. In spring, all of them are already wearing linen clothes, but in other tribes, linen is still a rarity.
Perhaps it will take until next spring for linen clothes to become more popular.
It is estimated that it will take more than two years for all members to complete the equipment of leather armor and weapons.
Because Xu Chen of the Ba tribe always sticks to his word, and the whole tribe will fully support him in whatever he wants to do.
But in other tribes, it is impossible for hunters who participate in training to receive full support, regardless of food, clothing, shelter, or shelter.
And other tribes are not like the Ba tribe, who can obtain a large amount of animal skins through the export of pottery, and design and manufacture armor through technological innovation. Even if Xu Chen spreads the armor-making technology to other tribes, this cost of huge manpower and material resources,
