Chapter 41: : Perseverance and persistence
Do n’t just look at the three arrows, in fact, it has a great influence on the results of the battle.
Because one side is intact, they are shooting from a distance, but the other side is downsizing.
One-on-one and two-on-one on the battlefield are two different treatments.
The so-called art of war is based on the use of various methods to create a situation where more is played and less is played, thereby forming an advantage in strength and consumption.
And flying squirrels are not undead, as long as it is natural life, there is morale. Just like before, the needle gold directly solved the flying squirrel leader, so the remaining flying squirrels collapsed and fled directly.
The number of archery shots is actually not much.
The number of archery shots increased, which greatly consumed their physical strength. They are only temporary archers, and their physical energy should be allocated more in close combat, otherwise the gains will not be worth the loss.
Next to the bow adjustment work, the needle gold was handed over to Bai Ya.
Yellow algae and cyanobacteria only have a small part of the leadership abilities, and at most take the team to charge on the deck of the sea boat.
As for Jin Jin, he does not adjust his bow. Not to mention Cangsu and Zidi.
Baiya, the son of Orion, has ordinary strength. If he does not fall into this island, he will definitely be stunned, which is too mediocre. But now under such circumstances, he can use his own talent to shine a gleam of light.
For him, this island has great danger, but at the same time also has great opportunities.
"In the final analysis, there are still too few people under my subordinates. Slightly talented, like Bai Ya, can stand out." Jin Jin sighed secretly.
Baiya led several people to adjust the bow, and the rest of course would not be idle.
The yellow algae continue to hunt. The main goal is not to obtain food, but to target those wild birds and harvest feathers.
Blue algae continue to detect around the flying squirrel community.
Wooden shields and hunter traps are made by people one after another.
There is also hemp rope woven from bark silk, the short ones are used for bow strings, and the long ones are used for bundling, such as the making of shields. The reserve of hemp rope continues to rise, these things are very unremarkable, but very practical.
No one can estimate how long he will stay on this island, so things like hemp rope should be stored as much as possible.
According to Cangsu's introduction, hemp rope is actually used in a wide range of applications.
In addition to its function, hemp rope and hemp rope can be woven into a net by combining them. The net pocket can hold things, can form a cloth cover, and can be woven into straw sandals.
Cangsu was also involved, he provided an extremely simple loom.
This loom uses dozens of small wooden piles inserted in the soil, and the small wooden piles are arranged in two rows. One of the rows of small wooden piles is spaced apart by a horizontal stick to secure it.
After the small wooden piles are wound around the line, they form a parallel appearance of dozens of vertical lines. Lifting the stick once, half of the small stakes will be lifted, and then half of the vertical line will follow up.
At this time, insert the only horizontal line along the angle of upturning. Put the vertical line down again, a horizontal line and a dozen vertical lines are compacted, and a basic action of weaving is completed.
Repeat this action dozens of times and hundreds of times, and a piece of cloth will be born smoothly.
This loom is extremely primitive, and the efficiency is completely incomparable with the loom in the empire, one on the ground and one on the sky. A person who spends less than half a day's work can only get a small piece of ass.
But it does save a huge amount of manpower and material resources, and the ergonomics are much higher than simple labor.
Explorers who use these looms to work have lamented the profound knowledge of Cangsu. But Cangsu told them that this loom was obtained when he studied the data of the orcish family.
Compared with the human race empire, although the orcs occupy the wilderness continent, they generally exist in the form of tribes, and their living standards and productivity are generally low. This type of loom is common among the orcs.
As for Zidi, she is mainly responsible for manufacturing poison. Pin Jin clearly told her that a poison is needed, which can dissipate naturally, or disappear through boiling, baking, etc. Or simply, even if this poison exists, it is only effective for flying squirrels, and does not cause any major harm to the human body.
After all, the pin gold hunting flying squirrel needs food. If the poison is too strong, even if the poison kills these flying squirrels, the meat of the flying squirrels cannot be eaten. For the entire exploration team, the loss will be far greater than the harvest.
The environment at the moment is extremely rudimentary, and Zidi can only try it reluctantly, and she puts forward a request-it needs a living squirrel to test.
Needle gold will secretly set off, and spirulina community with cyanobacteria.
Cangsu remained in the camp to direct the dispatch.
After the bow adjustment was completed, Bai Ya led the others to start a test shot.
In the evening, the leaders met again to exchange their gains.
Pin gold and cyanobacteria caught three live flying squirrels, and they handed them to Zidi.
There is no prey on the yellow algae. The hunting is not based on combat power. He also lost some iron arrows. These iron arrows are very cherished, use one less one.
But they are not the harvest-Huang Zao and his team failed to hunt and could only go further to try their luck. As a result, a small piece of bamboo forest was accidentally found.
Bamboo is a very good resource. Bamboo with bamboo joints is a natural water storage container. Bamboo can make bamboo rafts, and sharpened bamboo can make traps.
The third day
"Shooting!" At the order of Huang Zao, many flying arrows swooped out.
A dozen simple archery targets were established at a distance of 120 steps.
The target was also drawn with charcoal concentric circles, but do n’t mention a few rings, very few arrows were shot.
The ring on the target is a little smaller, similar to a flying squirrel. But in real battles, everyone wants to shoot flying squirrels, and these flying squirrels will move.
So the result of this kind of archery is really unacceptable.
"Your posture is wrong."
"Straight waist, straight arms."
"Stable, stable. What are you shaking ?!"
Huang Zao served as an instructor.
His brow furrowed and there was huge pressure in his heart.
Compared, of course, the number one shooting skill in the entire team is of course gold.
Followed by white shoots, this young man's shooting is still above the yellow algae and others. After all, for him, this is a skill that lives on all year round.
Hunters do n’t hunt hard, it ’s just a way of asking for life. In addition to hounds, traps most used by hunters. Bows are also used a lot. Excellent hunters, when they encounter large beasts that they cannot hunt, will choose to give in or withdraw.
Yellow algae and cyanobacteria are good at melee combat. When shooting from a distance, they use a crossbow rather than a bow. They survived on the ship, so they deliberately practiced shooting.
Huang Zao's hunting result was a mess yesterday, and today he was arranged by the needle to become a temporary instructor.
In order to restore his face, Xanthea worked very hard.
Training other people is better with yellow algae. Although his shooting is worse than Baiya.
Baiya archery is more based on feeling, pure wild road.
Yellow algae have at least been drilled, knowing the key to archery.
"Practice personal assault hard training first, and then form the arrow curtain shooting. Now this kind of shooting, the most basic arrow curtain can not be assembled." Needle Jin inspection training, seeing this situation, I am quite anxious, but He didn't show any sign on the surface.
Today, white buds replace yellow algae and are responsible for hunting. The main goal is still wild birds, and the expedition team needs more feathers to make arrows.
No one expected him to hunt for enough food.
The risk of personal hunting is very high, and the efficiency is actually very low. Most of them are watching the sky to eat and test their luck.
In the whole empire, the hunter's life is actually very difficult.
So the saying goes: hunting is worse than grazing, and grazing is worse than farming.
Under normal circumstances, the hunter can't eat enough. Compared with hunters and herdsmen, farmers who cultivate land have the most stable life and the most assured quality of life.
Hunters seem to have a source of meat. In fact, most of the mountain forests are the territory of nobility. Hunters who hunt without permission are severely punished once they are caught.
Expeditions like this can only rely on large-scale hunting to satisfy their own food consumption.
This day's training lasted from morning to night. After eating, the exploration team members did not have the intention to talk and laugh, and fell asleep in their tents.
In the gold-colored tent, Cangsu looked calm and reported the grim situation.
"Master Jinjin, our food is running out, it can be said that it is very consumed. If you continue like this, it will not last for a few days."
The face of the needle gold is dull and the mood is calm.
He is very strange about this. In these two days, he was still very anxious, and he gradually calmed down.
He adapts to this pressure and instead comforts Cangsu: "It is necessary to train archery. This matter is in a hurry. We can only clench our teeth! There is no basic archery, and it would be useless to start a war bravely. Such hard training will indeed consume physical strength. , Thereby increasing the consumption of food. But now consumption of food and improved shooting, in exchange for the future fight, the number of damage is reduced. This is very cost-effective. "
"I understand, sir." Cangsu nodded. "It's just that, our food is consumed violently, everyone knows this, and the players are very worried."
Jin Jin smiled: "Then tell them clearly how many rations we have left. Even if necessary, let each of them see our food reserves."
Cangsu's face changed slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "I understand, my lord."
Fourth day
Shooting range.
Although the arm is sore and even has obvious swelling, the exploration team members are all serious, clenching their teeth, and practicing hard.
They all know the food reserves in the team and have a very clear understanding of their situation-right now they are desperate. If the hunting fails, what is waiting for them is perish!
Under this pressure, everyone worked hard and tried their best to practice shooting.
Although the early training results were unsightly, the situation of the arrow on the target improved greatly after everyone adjusted to it.
The arrows that hit the bullseye are rare, but most of the arrows can hit the arrows.
As soon as he saw that his archery performance had stabilized, the yellow algae immediately removed the fixed target and replaced it with a moving target.
These moving targets are short piles of wood. Hemp rope is tied to the pile, and the other end of the rope is hung from a tall branch. After raising the stake, let go and let the stake sway under the tree.
Huang Zao asked the team members to shoot arrows on the stakes.
The results immediately slipped and became worse than before!
No one complained, when everyone knew that in actual combat, the flying squirrel's movement was faster than the wooden pile, and the direction changed more.
Practice, practice constantly.
Every time you breathe is very cherished.
When eating at noon, the team members were silent and the atmosphere was dignified.
Many people frown subconsciously, pondering and reflecting continuously-how to improve shooting skills.
When they rest in the tent, they also try to make a bow, even if there is no bow in their hands.
After training, the players kneaded each other's arms.
Many people cannot lift their arms. The swelling of the arm is common to all people.
Fortunately, there is a potion provided by Zidi.
These medicaments are temporarily configured. The original medicaments are suitable for transcendents. They are now diluted and used on ordinary players. They still have a strong recovery effect.
These medicines are used externally and internally to coordinate with each other. After a night of rest, the arm can be basically restored.
During supper, it was the broth that greeted everyone.
Various wild vegetables seem to be an embellishment.
The players' faces changed one after another ~ www.readwn.com ~ but they didn't say anything.
Everyone can understand the severity of the situation.
"Cangsu, come out." The voice of Jin Jin came from afar.
"Why are these for dinner?" Pin Jin seemed to be questioning Cangsu.
"Adult, there is not enough food. We can only do this!" Cangsu replied to Jin Jin.
Rebuttal: "But I remember, there are still some reserves. Not so much!"
"Adults, those are the only dry food left, which is left for you and Lord Zidi."
"Take it out."
"grown ups?"
"Take it out! How can you train and fight with strength without eating enough?"
These conversations made the hearts of the people who heard them float, and many people showed moving colors.
"Sir, please let us attack." That night, a team member took the initiative to find the needle gold and demanded the attack.
But Jin Jin declined this request: "Training. You need more training!"
Fifth day
Training, training, or training!
In the evening, check the results of the needle gold, and happily found that five arrows within ten arrows can hit the target.
The moving target is relatively large, much larger than the real flying squirrel. But this result has already reached the standard of needle gold.
He hasn't trained every player to become a marksman, and it's impossible in a short time. Everyone's qualifications actually determine the upper limit of archery.
But the arrow curtain can make up for the lack of accurate head.
Such a shooting technique can form a qualified arrow curtain.
In the afternoon, Cangsu also came to persuade Jingjin: "You can attack, sir."
"Wait a second." Pin Jin Yuefa was firm.
This kind of concentration made him feel a little surprised.
