Throne of Vientiane Civilization

To train soldiers will inevitably have an impact on the labor force in the tribe, which is completely unavoidable.

What Zhou Xu has to do now is to find a balance.

While achieving your own goals, minimize this impact.

From this point of view, Zhou Xu came up with a solution, which was to let several camps recruit troops separately.

Under this premise, soldiers must have physical training every day.

For this part of the training, just ask the soldiers to help the logging team or the construction team, or the Ministry of Agriculture to do physical work.

In this way, the impact of various departments on internal work efficiency after losing manpower can be reduced to a certain extent.

In addition to physical training, such as weapon training and tactical training, you can just practice normally.

Thinking of this, Zhou Xu quickly called Zhou Zhongshan and Li Ce to discuss this matter.

When the two heard it, they immediately became excited!

Although they also knew that the reason why the leader let them stay in the camp as "vagrants" was to allow them to preserve their status and prepare for possible battles at any time.

But being so idle all the time made them feel flustered and uncomfortable.

Now that Zhou Xu said that, they knew they had work to do.

For the Black Moon camp, Zhou Xu only planned to recruit ten people for the first batch of conscription.

There is no way, there are only more than 80 people in the Black Moon camp, and if more people are recruited, the daily operation of the camp will be affected. This matter has to be done step by step.

But it was precisely because of the small number of recruits that Zhou Xu planned to select these ten people carefully, and he had extremely high requirements on them.

First of all, the "talent" must be related to combat.

The second is the issue of arms. The conventional situation must be distinguished by arms.

But just like what I said before, Zhou Xu has extremely high requirements for the first batch of ten soldiers. He wants to train these ten soldiers to be able to swing stone axes and pierce spears in close combat, and bend bows and set arrows in long-range attacks. An all-around unit that can be used from far and near!

And he already has the best example, that is Zhou Zhongshan!

The talent of the "weapon master" made Zhou Zhongshan seem to be able to use melee weapons or long-distance weapons with ease.

In response to this situation, Zhou Xu has also talked to Zhou Zhongshan, and pointed out that he is good at using various weapons. This is his advantage, so let him not stick to one weapon.

After a lot of work, ten soldiers were quickly selected. Including Zhou Zhongshan and Li Ce, there were twelve soldiers in total.

"Starting today, you are the first batch of soldiers of the tribe!"

"What is the duty of a soldier?"

"It is to obey orders and defend the homeland!"

As a contemporary fresh graduate, although Zhou Xu has never been a soldier, he has participated in military training, and now he has learned what their instructors are like.

After some preaching, a trace of regret flashed in Zhou Xu's eyes.

[According to the development of the plot, there must be a stab at this time, let me clean it up! 】

It's a pity that in today's tribe, every member of the tribe respects him, and it can even be said that he is a god.

In front of him, the thorns do not exist at all, and all of them are simply obedient.

According to Zhou Xu's arrangement, as long as there is a heavy demand for hard work at the Black Moon Camp, the ten soldiers will be immediately arranged for "physical training" to exercise their physique by doing hard work.

And in the absence of hard work, then there will be battle formation and weapon training.

Zhou Zhongshan and Li Ce definitely don't have this concept in battle formation, but Li Ce has actually done similar things.

That is, in order to avoid the damage that the slingshots might cause them, he evacuated the attack density.

In essence, this is undoubtedly a formation.

Judging from the profiles of the two of them, Li Ce, who tends to be a wise general, has basically surpassed Zhou Zhongshan in his ability to command troops after he grew up.

But Zhou Zhongshan's focus is different, he is a typical general.

Considering the current background of the times, in the primitive era dominated by small-scale armed conflicts, it goes without saying how important a powerful general is.

He can directly dominate the outcome of a battle.

Of course, the development of this kind of thing can't just be seen in front of the eyes. With the increase of the scale of the war, the value of a smart general like Li Ce will become more and more valuable.

Therefore, the cultivation of both sides cannot be left behind.

As the leader of the tribe, Zhou Xu couldn't have time to train troops every day. Therefore, in addition to physical training, the work of battle formation training and weapon training naturally fell to Li Ce and Zhou Zhongshan.

For battle formation training, he first taught Li Ce and Zhou Zhongshan the few battle formations he knew, and the training task mainly fell on Li Ce.

Because he obviously learns faster.

As for Zhou Zhongshan, needless to say, he is in charge of weapon training.

In the tribe, Zhou Zhongshan was the best at using weapons. In this matter, Zhou Xu had nothing to advise, and it was almost as good to ask Zhou Zhongshan to advise him.

After arranging various military training tasks, Zhou Xu quickly returned to his daily life.

During the period, the glue research and development task assigned to Zhuang Mengdie was soon announced. After many tedious attempts, the glue used as an adhesive was finally successfully developed.

In this way, Zhuang Mengdie could also use glue to start making bows and arrows.

Compared with the method of making a bow with a mortise and tenon structure when he first thought of it, Zhuang Mengdie felt incredible for the convenience brought by this glue.

In the case that all the materials to be processed are fully prepared.

Now she only needs to press and glue the polished materials together one by one, wait for the glue to dry, and after finishing the bonding, she will do a little bit of manipulation to complete a bamboo bow very easily.

Of course, the bamboo bow bonded with glue is not as durable as the bamboo bow she made with the mortise and tenon structure, and its strength is relatively limited.

After many times of bowing and shooting, the bonding will become degummed and collapsed.

But even so, the value of this new bamboo bow cannot be shaken.

Because the new bamboo bow is capable of mass production, unlike Zhuang Mengdie's previous combination bow, which is not exquisite enough, who can make it now?

And it takes a lot of time, and it is impossible to meet the needs of mass production.

Taking this as a premise, in order to make the new bamboo bow more durable and stable, Zhuang Mengdie pondered for a while.

Then it was decided that after the bonding was completed, glue was used to reinforce the bonded gap from the outside, and then glue was applied to the animal skin rope to wrap the bow body for a second reinforcement.

However, even so, it failed to achieve the level she wanted.

Under such circumstances, Zhuang Mengdie's mind flashed, and an idea came up...

[Pure glue is not strong enough, and it is easy to damage, but it is too time-consuming to use a combined structure, so can I combine the two sides? 】

With the flash of this thought, Zhuang Mengdie's eyes lit up, and he already had an idea in his heart!
