Chapter 114 Arms
The tender ones of the cucumbers picked last time have been eaten, and the remaining old ones have rotted after so many days.

Wang Lang asked the women to clean out the cucumber seeds and pile the pulp aside. These things can be used as fertilizer.

After arranging what to do for everyone, the idle Wang Lang began to think about how to train these guys.

Before crossing, he was just a student who had just entered college. Regarding the military, his impression was only the first month of military training in his freshman year. As for fighting with cold weapons, his level was only at the level of street fighting in TV dramas.

But he knew that the rush-to-crowd fighting method in the TV series was just the director's nonsense. Even primitive people had a division of labor and cooperation when hunting, harassing, chasing, setting up ambushes, and killing. If you don't fight in this way, you probably don't even know how you died.

Although Wang Lang is an army blind man, he also knows that in the era when travel is basically based on walking and communication is only based on shouting, if wars are like street gangsters fighting, it is basically impossible for generals to command an army. I can't tell the difference, it's not called war, it's just a fight.

In order to better train his own army, he wrote down the types of arms that can appear on the ground at present. There are only a few types of arms that can be formed at present. Cavalry cannot be used as the main force now. After riding for a period of time, he It is found that it is extremely difficult to ride a deer for riding and shooting. At present, deer cavalry can only exist as scouts. Even if the deer herd increases in the future, they can only be used as infantry riding deer.

In addition to cavalry, the rest is infantry, which is the most important unit from the barbaric age to the information age.

Wang Lang divided the infantry into spearmen and archers according to their weapons. As a melee unit, spearmen lined up in square formations and used spears to form a wooden Great Wall. With the proper coordination of arms, it is not unimaginable to win more with less.

However, it is not possible to train an army that orders and prohibits orders overnight. Even modern people who have received queue training since childhood, when they receive military training, turn left and turn right. This simple movement needs to be trained for a long time. Not to mention primitive people who have no discipline at all, Wang Lang now feels that there is a long way to go to train an invincible army.

In order to defend against the enemy's long-range weapon attacks, shields must be made. Wooden shields are too heavy, and the enemy's long-range weapons are nothing more than throwing axes and throwing stones. To deal with such things, Wang Lang feels that it is completely impossible to make a rattan shield. can handle.

After analyzing the types of arms, the next thing to consider is how to arrange troops and how to cooperate with spearmen and archers.

At present, the total number of people living in the two places is 86. Excluding the women, the elderly and children, there are only more than 50 adult men who can fight, and the grassland side can’t take care of it for the time being. In this way, there are only more than 40 on the jungle side. available sources of troops.

The more than 40 people were evenly distributed among the men of the four chiefs. Wang Lang planned to use Kong Er's men as scouts. He selected more than a dozen archers from the remaining three chiefs, and the rest served as spearmen to fight against the enemy. Engage in hand-to-hand combat.

After a busy half a day, Wang Lang completed the future training plan. After going through it in his mind, he smiled with satisfaction. For him, an army blind, being able to make a more detailed training plan made him feel very happy. Very fulfilling.

As night falls, busy people stop their work and enjoy their favorite things around the campfire. The hot meat makes them never get tired of eating.

Kong Yi and Kong Yue's mothers were already married, and they didn't hold any celebration ceremony. They just briefly talked to Wang Lang and the others. The tribal rules had been conveyed to them by the four chiefs, and they also understood the concept of marriage. See The family of three sitting together, both men and women are very envious, and people also heard that Kong Yi plans to build a house of his own, a house where only the three of them live.

The others looked at Kong Yi who was bragging about his deeds to Kong Yue again, and they didn't laugh at them, but envied them. They also fantasized that they could have such a day.

Since the training was just mentioned today, Wang Lang was not in a hurry to start torturing these people immediately. Those who had escaped for the time being, after dinner, followed Kong Yi and Kong Er to learn the tribal language.

Children tend to learn language much faster than adults. In a short period of time, these little guys running around have mastered a lot of vocabulary. Although they can't use it for communication, they can use gestures and some simple words. Vocabulary, can also roughly guess what they want to express.

The progress of the adults is much slower. It seems that it will take a long time for Wang Lang to communicate without a translator.

The next day, the people of the tribe started to get busy again. The women were divided into two groups, one group made carbonized wooden spears, and the other group cleared the land for growing cucumbers.

Wang Lang is still very concerned about the cultivation of cucumbers. As the only vegetable in the tribe, this kind of thing that used to be seen everywhere is now a rare delicacy. For people with a monotonous diet, a cucumber is even comparable to A hunk of fat meat.

The cucumber seeds have been taken out, spread flat on several large leaves, and placed in a thatched house to dry in the shade. The remaining pulp is piled up and saved for future use as fertilizer.

Women use shovels and sharpened sticks to loosen the soil. This kind of intensive cultivation can only be used to grow vegetables at present. If there is no plowshare for planting corn, it is simply a sin to dig the soil.

For those old people who can't do heavy physical labor, Wang Lang asked them to make pottery. Since they have this job, these old people feel more at ease. Just the maximum protection of the tribe.

These old people have already buried half of their people, and glory and women basically have no attraction for them. It is their greatest wish to live in peace and stability for the rest of the time. During this period of life in the new tribe Although he was busy, he lived incomparably at ease, and his mental state was even much better than before.

Looking at the orderly tribe, Wang Lang felt very relieved. This small tribe of his will be used as a seed to allow civilization to take root in this different world, and let the Chinese flag be planted in every corner of the world.
