Chapter 278 New weapons, Shang Jiu escapes

The weapon Wang Wei wants to make is used to defend the city.

The stones and rolling wood used to defend the city are essential, and this is the easiest tool to defend the city.

You also need to make attack tools. If you have bows and arrows, you can also make a simple version of a trencher, commonly known as a human stone thrower. Using the principle of leverage, this is not complicated and may take several tests to make it.

If there are sufficient technicians, heavy catapults can also be made, but this is a later story. It cannot be done by thinking about anything. It requires the accumulation of technology, and it also requires time, manpower and material resources.

In addition, he can also make crossbow machines.

For ordinary people, using a crossbow is better than using a bow, because it takes several days to complete the training, while using a bow takes longer.

After the Xia tribe made general crossbows, according to this principle, more and more complex crossbow machines can be made in the future, such as continuous crossbows and three-bow bed crossbows. These are all killer weapons, with far shooting and great power, and the number of continuous crossbows can be shot.

The Xia tribe also needs to prepare more spears and knives for melee combat.

Just defending the city, all of these can be used.

He has so many things to make, and the carpentry team and the iron smelting team need to add more personnel.

In fact, it’s fine if you only have a few people who understand technology, and those who understand technology can work with something you don’t know very well.

It is also the Xia tribe that has no more food sources. If rice is grown on a large scale, Wang Wei would try his best to expand his population rapidly.

He found Xia Huo, the leader of the carpentry team, Mu Tou, the deputy leader, and several technical backbones at the construction site.

Wang Wei asked them to leave two skilled people at the construction site, and the other people and him joined forces with the iron smelting group to make samples of crossbows and simple stone catapults.

The carpentry team is actually very busy. They are busy for Wang Wei’s courtyard on the construction site. However, the basic concept and planning of the courtyard have been completed, and only one or two technical personnel are required to supervise the work. The wooden shield customized by the carpentry team for Wang Wei has also been finalized and has been made by a dedicated person.

In addition, when the people from the Huangshi tribe joined the Xia tribe, Wang Wei arranged them to the logging group, and also transferred several people who were flexible in the logging group to the woodworking group. Although they started to do some simple helpers and were doing physical work, as their technology accumulates, they can also help a lot.

So the carpentry team can draw out a few people to make the tools he wants.

They knew that the king had met the Beidi people today, Xia Huo from the carpenter group, and Mutou had already seen his anxiety.

Where did Wang Wei's anxiety start? If we talk about tribal safety alone, his anxiety has existed very early, especially before the Xia tribe had no iron tools. At that time, better tools could not be made, which would affect the development of the tribe.

Later, the Xia tribe had iron tools, including iron spears, knives, bows, arrows, and Teng shields in terms of equipment, but these were obviously not enough. Since the trade fairs of the Fish Tribe two days ago, especially the encounters with the Fish Head and Wing Tribes, Wang Wei actually deeply felt the lack of weapons and equipment of the Xia tribe.

So as soon as he returns to the Xia tribe, he needs to improve his equipment.

When we met with the Beidi people today, Lord Tao did not emphasize the joining of Xia tribe as before, but Wang Wei was uneasy. Maybe the Beidi people were holding back something.

They knew that the Xia tribe was delaying time, and they also knew the changes outside the Xia tribe. Perhaps, they knew more.

When Wang Wei has these concerns, he needs to find a way to deal with them in advance to prevent accidents.

He made the samples first and let the people in the carpentry team know that there was such a thing as soon as possible. If it was any difficulty, they would think of it as soon as possible at work in the future.

Business tribe.

Shang Jiu led his tribe all the way toward the Xia tribe.

On the way, Shang Jiu thought of his father. Although he was stingy, he was really good to him.

Losing an important pillar and relative made him feel very sad and lost, and also heartbroken.

Especially in the current difficult situation, I fled to the Xia tribe. I still don’t know whether the king of the Xia tribe will take them in, which makes Shang Jiu even more uneasy.

At this time, Shang Jiu felt very helpless and helpless. He felt that his strength and ability could not make the Shang tribe's tribe live a better life, and could only avoid the powerful root tribe. He felt anxious about the Shang tribe's future.

Shang Jiu's woman, named Qin, is currently a big belly woman pregnant with Shang Jiu's child.

This woman is not simple in a business tribe. She is actually the manager of a business tribe.

Because Shang Ba was old, he was unwilling to deal with some things. If Shang Jiu was not in the tribe, Shang Bayi deliberately tested her and gave her some things. But later, Shang Bayi felt that she was indeed talented and handed over everything to her. The key was that this woman could do it well. Shang Bayi was very at ease and also relieved Shang Jiu.

Over time, this woman became the person who arranged specific affairs by the Shang tribe. Of course, she still had to seek the opinions of Shang Bayi and Shang Jiu if she had any questions.

Qin Guan has been through Shang tribe and has experienced many things, so he understands some truths.

At this time, she found Shang Jiu.

"Ajiu, I have something to tell you, it's not good for us to go to Xia tribe like this."

Shang Jiu didn't know what she meant.

"Why aren't it? We are running away. Where will we go if we don't go to Xia tribe?"

"I didn't make it clear. I mean it's not good for us to take my father to Xia tribe like this. After all, my father is dead. If the people of Xia tribe also take my father to Xia tribe, what should I do if the Xia tribe people think it's unlucky?"

Shang Jiu did not consider this matter. Although he had been to the Xia tribe several times, he really didn't understand the Xia tribe, especially the king. If that king had taboos on the dead, there would be no hope for Shang tribe to join the Xia tribe.

"I think this is the reason for you, so what should we do?"

Qin said: "Why find a place to bury my father?"

Shang Jiu shook his head and said, "The Shang tribe is burned by fire, not buried in soil."

Qin originally wanted to say that it was burying it with soil because it was faster and could be buried by digging a hole. When she saw Shang Jiu say this, she couldn't find a better reason to oppose him.

Seeing that Qin did not object, Shang Jiu asked everyone to stop and arranged for someone to pick up firewood.

The strange old man who was exchanged from the rice tribe came over and said:

"Shang Jiu, what are you doing?"

Shang Jiu was very angry at the rude old man's rudeness and said:

"Old man, what do you care about me?"

The weird old man said:

"I know what you want to do, you want to burn that dead old ghost."

Shang Jiu was furious. This person was exchanged by himself, and he was also a member of the Shang tribe. How dare he be rude to the leader of the Shang tribe? He was so angry that he didn't know what to say.

"You...a living old ghost..."

"You'd better listen to me, don't burn him."

It’s not that this person can grow rice, it’s not that he wants to hand him over to the Xia tribe, Shang Jiu really wants to beat him. But seeing his thin body, he can’t stand the beat.

"You said, why can't you burn it?"

"I ask you, what are you doing all the way?"

"What am I doing? I'm rushing to the Xia tribe."

"When you go to Xia tribe, why did you burn your father?"

"I burned my dad because the Xia tribe didn't like to have dead people."

"Then why don't you dig a hole?"

"The people who died in Shang tribe need to be cremated."

"I tell you, when you burn, the people sent by the great guys to chase you will know your location. They may be nearby. If you are not afraid of being caught by him, just burn it."

Shang Jiu felt a chill on his back after hearing this. There was really such a possibility. The monster old man was right. He didn't want the entire Shang tribe to be threatened because of Shang Bayi. Fortunately, with his reminder, Shang Jiu felt embarrassed to thank the monster old man.

But Shang Jiu was a little dissatisfied and asked:

"How do you know they'll catch up?"

"That's stupid. That great guy is not as stupid as you. I ask you, where is that smelly egg?"

"Stinky egg? Stinky egg's subordinates have not come back yet."

"If I guess it's right, that smelly egg either died or was caught? He knew the location of Xia tribe, would he be forced to lead the way to find you?"

After hearing this, Shang Jiu began to sweat on his forehead.

When the old man saw that he didn't speak, he arranged:

"Hurry up and arrange for everyone to eat some food and take a break. Then bury your father and bury it deeper so that the wild wolf will not be dug out."

Shang Jiu nodded repeatedly.

So he called back the people who went to the forest to pick up firewood and arranged for them to dig a pit.

The current leader of the Shang tribe is Shang Jiu. No one can change this, and no one dares to say anything.

The strange old man picked up firewood on his own, and in the shade of a big rock, where there was no wind, he used flint to light firewood.

Then let the boy who was with him guard the fire and not extinguish it.

He found the food he wanted on the mule that was specially used to transport food in the merchant tribe, and then took it to the barbecue.

Shang Jiu's woman looked at him, not knowing what this man did, and she didn't dare to say anything when she stared at him.

The weird old man said to her:

"Your name is Qin?"

Qin nodded.

"Come here and stay here to avoid the wind and don't keep you cold. Women who are pregnant with children should be kind to themselves."
