I am a Primitive Man

Chapter 772 Defensive Weapons Except Rattan Shield—Armor

When it's raining, walking slowly in the rain is something Han Cheng likes to do very much.

Because when walking in the rain like this, his whole body will become very calm, as if all the worries and distractions in his heart have been washed away by the falling rain.

Of course, this rain does not include heavy rain.

It's a very comfortable thing to do in the drizzle. Walking in the rainstorm will not have any other results except being drenched and regarded as a fool by others.

But now is not the later generations, and the medical and health conditions are far inferior, so Han Chengcheng is not as chic as the later generations, and he doesn't even use an umbrella.

Of course, the current Han Cheng didn't hold an umbrella either, but he was wearing a bamboo hat and coir raincoat.

Walking in the drizzle, look at the green hills in the distance, the fields that have been overturned by more than half, and look at the big fish pond in front of you, and suck a mouthful of mixed water. With the scent of apricot blossoms and the cool air all the way to his lungs, Han Cheng only felt comfortable all over.

The big pit in front of him will become the fish pond of the Qingque tribe in the near future.

Of course, this big pit was not excavated specially, but after expanding the tribe before, after Han Cheng designated such a fixed place to take it out, along with the walls and houses of the Qingque tribe, it rose from the flat ground little by little. , and subsequently appeared.

In fact, if Han Cheng hadn't thought of the grain cellar later and had someone change the place where the soil was fetched to the inside of the tribe, the fish pond could have been expanded even more.

But now this fish pond with an area of ​​nearly three acres is enough for the tribe.

You only need to wait for a few more rains to accumulate more water in the fish pond, and then you can catch fish from the small river and release them in the fish pond.

Thanks to Han Cheng's policy of moratorium on fishing, the fish in the small river have recovered a little in the past two years, but the fish in the small river can swim back and forth, which is far from being as stable as raising them in a fish pond.

It's from your own tribe, it's from your own tribe. Use your ability to get out of the fish pond with long legs under your body, and then swim all the way to the river on dry land?

Of course, the amphibious needs of bastards need to be ruled out.

Such a large fish pond, when the fish in it can grow up, the fish produced in it every year, plus some caught in the river, basically, when the tribe eats fish again in the future, they don’t have to be as nervous as they are now .

And the human stomach is just that big, if you eat more of other things, you should eat less of them.

There are more fish in the tribe, and food and other things can be saved.

After Han Cheng came here, he started his business by relying on fish, and he has a deep understanding of the importance of fish.

When the spring plowing is over, let the people in the tribe plant an iron fence house around the fish pond and come out.

This is not to prevent someone from stealing fish, or some crazy people will poison the fish pond.

This is done mainly to prevent minors in the tribe from falling into it.

The fish ponds dug out now, after being filled with water, are deeper than the small rivers in the tribe, and they are closer to the tribe. If there is no iron fence house planted to surround them, there are so many people running around in the tribe now. Boy, if a guy who doesn't look good falls into it, that good thing can become a bad thing.

Therefore, while there is not much water in it at this time, it is necessary to enclose the fish pond with a piercing iron fence.

The drizzle fell on the bamboo hat and coir raincoat, and slowly gathered into small crystal water droplets, which stayed at the end of the withered yellow grass stems for a while, and then fell to the ground.

Han Cheng stared at only a small part of the fish ponds with a shallow layer of water, and imagined the future of the tribal fish ponds.

After thinking like this for a while, Han Cheng couldn't help but sighed.

He is not sighing because it will take a long time for the fish in the fish pond to be fully raised, but regretting that no lotus root has been found so far.

Otherwise, plant some lotus roots in the shallow water of the fish pond,

It will be a beautiful thing to see the fields of lotus leaves, the fish playing among the lotus leaves, and the crystal water drops rolling on the lotus leaves.

Especially when the lotus is in full bloom, feed the fish in the pond less grass, let them eat the lotus that falls in the water, and then fish out the fish that ate the lotus, and put it in a clay pot after cooking Slowly stewed in the pot, it can be regarded as an immortal lotus fish. Thinking about this matter makes Han Cheng feel refreshed.

And it can also make up for the regret of going to the park in later generations, lying on the railing and looking at the fish that are within reach, and swallowing hard.

In the lotus pond in the park, it costs 300 yuan to fish out a fish, and now I fish in my own fish pond, who dares to fine myself for this!

Well, even if someone came to collect it, Han Cheng would not be able to get a penny out.

And besides the lotus fish, the plump lotus pods are also yearning for.

A woman's laughter and melodious and misty singing sounded in the green lotus in the sky. Between the shaking of the lotus leaves, a small boat emerged from the lotus leaves.

Then the singing gradually stopped, and a barefoot lotus picking girl appeared from the vast expanse of green lotus, holding a penny, holding her trouser legs, and barefoot.

Along with the rosy face of the lotus picking girl, a big lotus pod covered with dew flew towards her...

Just thinking about such a scene makes Han Cheng completely intoxicated.

At the gate of the courtyard, some voices sounded, interrupting Han Cheng's thoughts.

He turned his head to look there with some dissatisfaction, only to see Zhuang wearing a bamboo hat and coir raincoat and some women from the tribe came out from there.

Looking at their strong men's figures, and hearing the rough voice from afar, Han Cheng shuddered shiveringly.

After replacing the gentle and lovely lotus picking girls in the south of the Yangtze River with these strong women in the tribe, Han Cheng's fantasy about creating a lotus pond in the tribe was shattered in an instant.

Leaving aside the issue of whether the boat will be crushed or not, Han Cheng felt that he could be smashed by these tough guys in the tribe with just a shy and timid gesture of throwing the lotus pod... …

His thoughts were interrupted, and after filling up such a picture in his brain, Han Cheng immediately lost the mood and courage to stroll outside, turned around and walked towards the tribe...

Inside the tribe, Han Cheng held the teacup in both hands, and sipped the hot water in the cup in small sips to drive away the coolness, while looking aside.

Not far away, the elder brother was resting intently on the rattan shield covered with leather in his hand.

Senior brother is very rare about this vine shield, this thing can not only be used to block damage, but also can be used to knock down the enemy...

Han Cheng looked at the rattan shield in the elder brother's hand, his eyes revealed a thoughtful expression...

The defensive weapon like rattan shield was something that Han Cheng made not too long after he came to this world.

Basically, together with spears, bows and arrows, and slings, they can be called the first-generation weapons of the Qingque tribe.

Brother Sha, who is very obsessed with bow and arrow, is there, and Han Cheng only needs to guide him a little bit from the side.

Compared with the simple bows and arrows that Han Cheng made at the beginning, the bows and arrows in the tribe now have a much longer range.

As for the long spear, it has been replaced by the bronze dagger after the bronze was available. Among these four weapons, the fastest replacement is also the most advanced one.

Under the skilled operation of the second senior brother, the sling has also been improved to a certain extent.

Compared with the previous ones, the rattan shield is not without improvement. Its biggest improvement is that it has a thick layer of leather on it.

The shield is a weapon that has always been accompanied by cold weapons and will not be outdated.

Even until the end of the era of cold weapons, in the era of hot weapons, shields can be seen from time to time in life, such as explosion-proof shields.

With the rise of various manufacturing levels of the Qingque tribe and the emergence of needs, things like shields will also be upgraded in the Qingque tribe.

Of course, not now.

The reason why Han Cheng stared at the shield for a while and had so many thoughts was because he thought of another kind of protection - armor.

Compared with a shield that can only cover part of the body, the protection of armor is more comprehensive.

Moreover, it only needs to be worn on the body, and it does not need to be carried by hand at all times like a shield.

A person in armor can do things like open a bow, shoot an arrow, and wield a spear.

It can give people 24 hours of personal protection, safe and comfortable.

In fact, as early as when the tribe started to make the first generation of weapons, Han Chengcheng thought about armor, and he was the first to think about it.

Later, the reason why they gave up armor and chose shields was because at that time, the tribe did not have the conditions to make armor.

Whether it's the lame weaving skills or the knives in the tribe, they are not satisfied.

Hard knocking is not impossible, but it consumes too much manpower and material resources, and there is no way to popularize it. If one or two pieces are produced, it is of little practical significance to the tribe at that time.

So the matter about the armor has been put down like this.

In the subsequent several tribal conflicts, the people of the Qingque tribe, relying on their advantages in numbers, weapons, tactics and logistics, relying on these advantages enough to crush their opponents, basically paid a small amount. At the price, a big victory was achieved.

It is precisely because of these victories that Han Cheng has been ignoring the armor.

At this time, seeing the senior brother resting the rattan shield on a rainy day, he suddenly remembered the matter of the armor.

Time to try making armor.

As long as you can manufacture useful armor and equip the archers and slingers in the tribe, when the tribe encounters some conflicts, these two long-range high attacks will be able to get rid of the rattan shield to a certain extent protected.

High attack, thick defense, such an existence is exciting to think about.

Brother, there is a new protective weapon...

After thinking for a while, Han Cheng held the teacup and took a sip of hot tea and said to the senior brother who was resting seriously while holding the rattan shield.

The elder brother stopped what he was doing and listened carefully to what Han Cheng said.

Shang walked in from the outside, and stood on the spot after hearing what Han Cheng said, listening carefully to what Han Cheng said.

Because of the spring plowing, the members of the trade team did not go out to trade after the beginning of spring, but were busy with the spring plowing in the tribe together.

In fact, even if there is no spring plowing at this time, the members of the trade team don't need to go out to make deals now.

Because in the past winter, the surrounding tribes who often traded with the Qingque tribe, after the Qingque tribe attacked the semi-agricultural tribe, exchanged their donkeys, slaves, and peas for a large amount of salt, at least Within half a year, they will not be short of salt.

Listening to what Han Cheng said about the armor, the eldest brother and Shang both showed a thoughtful look.

It's like a shield that can be worn on the body like clothes...

Seeing that the two of them didn't react for a while, Han Cheng continued to explain.

After saying this, the senior brother hesitated for a while, and then put the rattan shield in his hand on his arm...

Looking at the elder brother who was wearing a rattan shield and not gesturing in front of him, looking a little dazed, Han Cheng couldn't help but smiled, a rattan shield is a rattan shield, of course it can't be used as armor, but it's also made of rattan shields. The woven rattan armor can let the lame try.

When the elder brother kept gesticulating in front of him with the rattan shield, Shang beside him was also scratching his head with his hands.

Different from the big brother who simply wondered what the rattan armor looked like, Shang's doubts were why Shenzi suddenly wanted to get this kind of protective thing that was said to be more convenient than the rattan shield.

In his opinion, the weapons that the tribe currently possesses are enough for the tribe to use.

Most importantly, they have bronze spears, bows and arrows, and slings, all of which are very powerful weapons.

With them, your own tribe basically doesn't have to worry about other tribes. ,

In fact, according to Shang, even the rattan shield was not too important. In these few battles, the rattan shield played a far less important role than the other weapons.

And now, Shenzi actually wants to use defensive weapons...

As the number one militant in the tribe, it was not surprising that Shang had such thoughts.

So after hearing what he said, Han Cheng didn't refute too much, but smiled at Shang and said: Then let's try it after the armor is made.

Shang's thinking that only pays attention to attack but ignores defense is very dangerous. Han Cheng has a deep understanding of how many accidents there are in the world and how fragile life is.

So he wanted to reverse Shang and those in the tribe who, like Shang, only saw the gratifying results of the attacking ones, but ignored the concept of defensive people.

It's just that if you want to change a person's concept, it's obviously not very convincing to just say it with empty teeth. The best way is to let them experience the huge benefits of defense for themselves.

Shang looked at the son of God with a bright smile, and for some reason, he suddenly felt a little cold...
