Chapter 180 War drums sound, emergency meeting(1/2)
Wang Wei, Mei and Su Xiaoxiao came to the river. Cao Gen, Cao Ming, Xia Dazui, Hu Meizi and other leaders of the Xia tribe came close to them.
"Elder Grassroots, didn't your original tribe say they were captured by the cannibal tribe? It shouldn't be them, right?"
"My lord, it's really not true. The people on the other side can only be considered savages."
Wang Wei nodded, "They are also another species. Although they are savages, you can see that they still only use tools."
Xia Yi said: "Your Majesty, those savages eat raw food, which shows that they don't know how to use fire."
Wang Wei nodded.
"Judging from their number, I didn't expect there to be so many. I didn't expect there to be a savage tribe around the Xia tribe."
At this time, Xia Huo's carpentry team came over carrying three war drums.
The Xia tribe made three war drums and prepared them for use when the new city was built, but they had not yet been unveiled in front of everyone in the Xia tribe.
The war drums were also tested in the Hot Spring Valley, so only a few people in the Xia tribe knew about the war drums, but they had only heard some sounds from a relatively distance.
When Wang Wei saw the roar of the savages just now, he thought about beating the war drum to let the savages on the other side know what a shocking sound it was.
Xia Huo and others set up the drums and put on the war drums.
Wang Wei rode on Xia Yi, making him higher than everyone else, and pressed down with his hand.
Everyone in the Xia tribe suddenly became quiet and looked at him.
"Wait a while, there will be a loud noise, don't be afraid."
Then he made a gesture to Xia Huo, and Xia Huo led two carpentry teams to start knocking.
Their rhythms were consistent and their intensity was even. The huge sound of "dong dong dong" resounded throughout the Xia tribe. The drumbeats were continuous and extremely powerful.
The people of the Xia tribe did not expect that their tribe actually had an artifact that could make such a loud sound. It was all made by the king of the gods.
Boom, boom...
As the rhythmic sound of the war drums came out, the sound of the war drums sounded like thunder, deep, loud, majestic and powerful.
Everyone in the Xia tribe was stunned and felt their blood boiling with excitement!
Immediately afterwards, Xia Huo changed the percussion frequency, and the drum beat became more intense, which was even more shocking!
The savages on the other side of the river had already been alarmed. Some of them even covered their ears and fell to the ground. They were so frightened that they hid one after another.
To the savages, this was the sound of thunder in the sky, which brought them fear. Then they hurriedly retreated until the other side of the river was clear.
Do the Xia tribe people guess that the savages are afraid of the Xia tribe’s new artifact?
The drums stopped, and when the last beat ended, it seemed as if infinite power was flowing through everyone's bodies, and thunderous applause and shouts erupted from the Xia tribe's crowd.
The Xia tribe people finally know that this new artifact is called a war drum!
----------
Return to the tribe.
Wang Wei asked all the people with positions in the Xia tribe, that is, the leaders of each group, to come and hold an emergency meeting.
Xia Yi, who was the first to discover the savage, explained the situation.
Then the meeting began to discuss.
Wang Wei spoke first:
"From what Xia Yi said, we can conclude that the savages are a truly barbaric tribe. They have many people and like to eat people. None of us can speak their language, which means that we cannot communicate with them. From today's
Judging from the performance, they seem to regard us as enemies. Our tribe is now facing a difficulty, that is, we cannot hunt on the opposite side. In addition, I have another question: Will the savages come to seek revenge on us? "
Cao Ming said: "If they want to seek revenge from us? How can they come here?"
Grassroots said: "Is there a narrower place in the upper or lower reaches of Yong'an River?"
No one could answer.
Wang Wei said: "We think they can come over, but what should we do?"
Xia Dazui said: "Your Majesty, we don't need to be afraid. We have the sacred war drum. The savages were scared off when they heard the sound of the war drum today."
Everyone laughed when they thought about the scene of the savages hurriedly retreating.
Wang Wei said: "You also know that the war drum is just a tool for transmitting sound. It may have some impact on the savages and may scare them, but the sound of the war drum has no lethality. In the end, it depends on all of us and in our hands.
weapons to defeat the enemy."
Cao Ming said: "Your Majesty is right. If they come to attack us, what will we do?"
Everyone began to discuss, and finally came to three opinions:
The first point of view is that the Xia tribe is blocked by the Yong'an River and they dare not come over;
Some people say that the city wall should be built as soon as possible;
Some people say to attack them directly.
Regarding their views, Wang Wei said:
"We actually don't know if they are afraid of water now. They may use something similar to a bamboo raft to cross the river, or cross the river in other ways. For example, the river suddenly freezes and they walk directly on the ice. If they cross the river, we
We can only fight them because our current city wall has not been built yet. Another way you say is that if we attack them in the past, we may have to pay a high price because our equipment is not complete and we do not have sharper weapons.
Lack of weapons."
Everyone nodded silently.
Wang Wei continued: "So we have to do two important things now. First, it is still early, so we use bamboo rafts to go upstream and downstream. Check whether there are narrower sections of the Yongan River and whether these narrow places can cross the river.
.The second is that regardless of whether there is a narrow river section, we must build our city wall as quickly as possible. Do you have anything to add?"
The leaders of the hunting group lowered their heads and were discussing, and then Xia Dazui said:
"Your Majesty, can we still cross the river to hunt?"
"For everyone's safety, I won't go there for now."
"Then how do we get enough food?"
"We can also set up traps around the caves and the Wei tribe at Grandma Rong's side. Although it's a bit far away, we only go there once a day to patrol."
People are meaningless.
Wang Wei said: "How many days will it take to complete the city wall we are building? Can it be completed in 10 days?"
Grassroots said: "Your Majesty, according to the current speed of building the city wall, it will take at least 10 days and at most 15 days. The main reason for the slow construction of the city wall is the lack of iron tools, not to mention the lack of hoes, shovels, shovels and other tools."
Wang Wei nodded.
Everyone knows the current difficulty of the Xia tribe and hopes that the city wall will be built as soon as possible.
During the meeting, Wang Wei made important arrangements:
The iron-making team fashioned all the iron blanks into iron spearheads, and could still make about ten spearheads.
The carpentry team speeds up the production of bows and arrows;
The weaving group mostly makes Teng shields, rattan armors, etc.;
Three groups and four groups hunted upstream and downstream of the Yongan River respectively. Their mission was to explore whether there was the narrowest section of the Yongan River;
The hunting group continued fishing in the Yongan River;
The grassroots city construction team worked overtime to build the city and lit more bonfires at night.
Everyone was puzzled that the king did not make hoes, shovels and other tools out of the remaining iron blanks.
Wang Wei's explanation was that first of all, he had to ensure that the hunting team had sharp tools for hunting. In addition, he had to go to the Blackstone Tribe and needed weapons.
After the meeting, everyone who received the assignment went about their business.
Hu Meizi did not leave, she had no mission yet.
Wang Wei asked Hu Meizi to patrol the river bank on the Xia tribe's side and pay attention to the movements of the savages on the other side of the river.
After Hu Meizi left, Mei was left in the cafeteria.
Wang Wei held her hand: "Were you scared just now?"
Mei shook her head with a smile and said, "I'm not afraid, I'm just a little surprised to see those savages."
"What are you surprised about?"
"There are some savages who don't wear anything."
"It's nothing. They are uncivilized primitive people. Maybe they are wild beasts."
They walked outside the gate of the Xia tribe and found that other people in the Xia tribe were still in the same excited state as before.
But this is also good. The ignorant are fearless and contented.
Let us say that a hunting group, led by Xia Yi, cast a net in the Yong'an River to catch fish.
The fishing nets of the Xia tribe are drawn from rattan, dried, and then twisted into thin ropes. Then the thin ropes are twisted into slightly thicker ropes, and are woven into gridded nets. The grid size is about six to seven centimeters. Now the weaving and assembly
The largest fishing net that can be made is about 20 meters long and about 10 meters wide.
