Inevitably, Zhou Jiping became a political cadre again and gave an ideological education class to Lahn and others on "The Importance of Crossbows to Tribal Security." Seeing how flattered Lahn and others were, Zhou Jiping couldn't help but sigh at the thought of the troops.
The educational method was indeed effective. At the same time, Zhou Jiping also asked Larn and several others to make enough arrows while making bows and crossbows, and they had to work overnight. They must make as many as possible before dawn tomorrow.
Crossbow
Then, Zhou Jiping took the tribal warriors who already had some experience in making traps, and under the protection of the Pengre hunting team who had eaten, they set up a large number of traps on both sides of the channel where they descended to the river to collect water.
Fortunately, the river is very close to the forest where the tribe camped, only about a hundred meters away. If something happens, as long as the warning sentry on the tree sends out a warning, large troops will arrive quickly. I believe these simple traps are enough to withstand it for a while.
Problems that can be solved have been solved, and problems that cannot be solved for the time being can only be overcome.
It was getting dark, and the first group of sentries on guard had been sent out. The only three crossbows were also taken to the Tibetan Soldier Cave by tribal warriors divided into three groups. They could take turns to rest and wait for possible danger at any time.
At the edge of the enemy tribe camp that will appear, the tribe warriors are divided into several groups to take turns to rest. No one is armed with a spear, ensuring that someone is awake at all times.
In the center of the temporary camp, Lahn and several other people were working hard to make crossbows under the light of the campfire. Lahn was undoubtedly the person who attracted the most attention tonight. The structure of the crossbows of primitive tribes was extremely simple, mainly made of thick perennial vines.
The crossbow arm is split from the middle of a relatively wide and long wooden stick. The crossbow body is made of hemp rope, and the trigger is made of hardwood strips.
Rahn's handiwork speed is obviously faster than others, not only because of Rahn's quick hands and feet, but also because Rahn has diamond drilling tools in his hand, which allows him to process the crossbows in terms of speed, accuracy and quality.
They were all far ahead of the others. Soon, the first crossbow made by Larn was completed first. Zhou Jiping took Larn's work, watched it carefully, and shot a few more arrows to try. It was indeed good, especially compared with the others.
Compared with the rough craftsmanship of others, Larn's production level can be said to be of high quality. As for the range, Zhou Jiping didn't have high hopes for this kind of crossbow with rattan arms - it was enough to hurt people.
After all, in Africa, there are many more injuries and deaths than direct killings.
Soon, not long after others completed the first crossbow, Larn's second crossbow was also completed. After some comparison and weighing, Zhou Jiping decisively stopped the work of several other people and asked them to work for Larn.
The layman is responsible for the rough processing of the crossbow materials, and Larn is responsible for the most delicate production parts. This should improve the efficiency of the entire production process.
The fact is that their skill in making crossbows is indeed inferior to that of Larn. There is no complaint. According to Zhou Jiping's request, the work was divided again. Each person was responsible for making a part of the crossbow. Soon, the advantages of division of labor became apparent.
, almost every half hour and twenty minutes, a crossbow "comes off the assembly line"
By midnight, more than ten bows and crossbows were placed in front of people's eyes
With the crossbow, arrows became simpler. The materials were already prepared. Sharpened twigs or porcupine quills were split from the tail, and a leaf was clamped, and the original crossbow arrow was made.
Can this... hurt someone? Holding a few crossbow arrows that were not much bigger than toothpicks, Zhou Jiping had doubts. However, it was obvious that those crossbows with simple structures could only fire these "light" crossbow arrows.
Looking back, Zhou Jiping happened to see Pengre holding a small gourd, using a wooden stick wrapped with rags to dip liquid from the gourd, and wiping it off the tips of several crossbow arrows, waiting for the arrows in his hand.
The tips of the arrows were smeared with this brown liquid, and then handed over to others to carefully dry on the campfire.
"What is this?" Zhou Jiping was a little curious about how cautious Pengre and the others were.
"Brother Enban" Pengre replied without raising his head, still operating very carefully.
"Brother Enban is poison!" Seeing that Zhou Jiping didn't understand, Yilin took the initiative to answer for Pengre.
Poison arrows? Zhou Jiping felt a little interesting now. Although the crossbow arrows are a bit small, if the poison is stained on them, the effect will of course be different. I just don’t know how effective this poison is? But judging from the cautious look of Peng Re and others, it should be very
sharp?
Before dawn, crossbows and poisonous arrows have been distributed to the tribal warriors on duty. Will the hyena tribe launch an attack around dawn? No one can say for sure.
But now, no one dares to step out of the tribe surrounded by the trap and hand over the crossbows and poisonous arrows to the hunters hiding in the cave. In the dark night, no one wants to be the first victim of the trap.
