Section 20 Decoy

Two huge crossbows were respectively set up at the top of the gentle slope. From here, about 300 meters away from the seaside, it is a safe location verified by countless Panshizhai villagers with their blood and lives.

The exquisite manufacturing process of the northern barbarians seems to be focused on weapons. According to Tianhao's requirements, the crossbows originally set up on the Panshi Village Police Tower were dismantled overnight, and people transported various parts to the beach to install. This thing is not much different from the ancient version in Tianhao's memory. The crossbar made of hard logs has not been polished, which shows that the northern barbarians only value practicality and completely ignore things related to beautiful nouns such as "smooth".

The strong and powerful tendons of the violent-bred bear are undoubtedly the best source of bowstrings. However, it takes time to deal with fresh tendons, and the old thick leather rope on the crossbow is barely enough. According to Tianhao's order, people carefully folded a bundle of firm nets. It started from the center of the rope, with each knot intersecting point as the center, and crossed left and right, shrinking the entire rope net in volume, compacting it tightly, and stacked into a spherical shape with a diameter of about three meters, and stuffed into the net pocket connected to the bowstring at the tail end of the crossbow.

This heavy weapon poses a fatal threat to wild beasts like the violent mane bear. The only disadvantage is that it must be fixedly shot. It is not unreasonable that Panshi Village can exist in the forests full of ferocious beasts for so long.

People stood on the shore and surrounded two crossbows, forming two groups of about fifty meters together.

Yonggang and Tiankuang stood next to the crossbow. They held the hammer tightly in their thick and powerful hands, and looked at Tianhao who was standing in the middle of the two people.

Tian Kuang made a loud and excited voice: "I'm ready."

Yonggang grabbed the five fingers of the right hand that was the wooden handle at the end of the hammer and nodded at Tianhao: "I'm fine too."

"Three, two, one, let it go!" As the countdown was over, Tianhao waved the animal skin in his hand vigorously. He felt a little regretful: this thing should have been red, but there was no suitable dye in the village.

"Bang!Bang!"

Two huge impacts, the tight bowstring instantly with huge force, and the spherical rope net in the net pocket shot into the sky under the rapid push. Under the gaze of a pair of eager and expectant eyes, it turned into two black arcs, accurately dropped on the sea surface mixed with a little white broken ice in the distance, splashing two not-so-big splashes.

The rope nets shot out of the two balls have tail lines, just like the "rope tennis balls" that were made in the civilized era due to venue restrictions and wanted to meet the requirements of sports enthusiasts.

Before launch, Tianhao explained his plan in detail to everyone. He left several craftsmen to adjust the crossbow machine, and the rest carried the thick ropes placed under their feet, walked along the designated safety line and towards both ends of the coast.

Those who give orders always enjoy some special authority. Tianhao stood next to a crossbow, staring at the ancient weapon, and under his calm face were the storm waves filled with the body.

Making a crossbow is far less simple than a bow and arrow, which requires a series of complex mathematical knowledge. In the distant Ptolemaic dynasty of ancient Egypt, two basic principles for crossbows were summarized: for crossbows that fire heavy spears, the optimal torque spring should be one-ninth of the length of the spear; for crossbows that fire stone bullets, the diameter of the torsion spring should be 1.1 times the square root of the projectile mass.

A group of cannibalistic barbarians actually master such exquisite mathematical theories?

The normal range of the crossbow is usually 300 meters. If reinforced by using the steel technology of the civilization era, 500 meters will not be a problem. However, the distance between the two balls of ropes and nets now exceeds 600 meters. There must be an error between the visually measured and the actual distance, but it will definitely not exceed 20 meters.

This made Tianhao again confirm that he had not traveled through time and space to another world, and that the land under his feet was the earth, but he didn't know why it became what he is now.

The huge figure of ordinary people, the wood fibers are tighter and more resistant to burning fire, and the ferocious beasts that do not exist in any biological books... and this crossbow, the various components that make it should be very dense, including metal springs and leather ropes, otherwise such powerful driving energy would never be bursting out.

The leader Fusong and the old priest stood on the edge of the pine forest more than ten meters away. Looking at the villagers who were walking into the forest happily with thick ropes on their shoulders, Fusong looked a little hesitant: "Will they succeed?"

The hunting captain Yonggang walked over with a brisk pace. Excitement was dye, which made the blood burn in his body. His face was full of redness that rose from excitement, and his words were full of fiery infectiousness: "I will! Ahao's idea will definitely work!"

The old priest, the witch, was getting older and his movements were a little slow. He stood on a crutch, touched the smooth handle with his fingers, and the confusion deep in his eyes disappeared little by little with time, and something that had never been seen before took the initiative.

"Let Ahao do it! How can we know if we don't try it? If he succeeds, we will no longer have to worry about salt. If he fails, we will just lose some ropes. Let the women in the village move and weave more ropes at home next summer and autumn, that's it."

...

Tianhao, who was carrying a sword, led a giant horned deer and walked slowly towards the beach below the gentle slope.

When the wind whistle led the deer into the valley of Death, Fusong, the leader who was ambushed opposite the pass, could not bear the temptation and threw the gun in advance. The injured deer was exhausted and could not keep up with the frightened and running likes. They were left far behind, but they were also lucky in disguise, avoiding the fate of falling off the cliff and falling to death.

This is an injured and underage young deer. Its size is only half that of an adult giant-horned deer. The diameter of the antler that had just grown shortly above the head is about 80 cm. Herbs were applied to the wound shot by the gun on the back, and a black blood scab was formed. There were knife wounds on both hind legs, but the incision was not large and the blood had stopped.

Never look at the wild animals in this world from the perspective of the old era. This is the experience Tianhao gained after successfully parasitizing. To ensure safety, he cut off part of the hind legs of the deer in advance. Doing so will not be fatal, nor will it affect the deer staggering, but it will never run at an extremely high speed that exceeds the hunter and gun chasing as before.

A rope passed through the middle of the deer's nose, and the vigorous wild animal could only follow Tianhao's footsteps obediently.

The fierce Tiankuang tiptoed behind Tianhao, staring at the distant sea with alert eyes. He was carrying a huge battle axe on his back and a bundle of ropes rolled into circles in his hand. The exposed shoulders and neck were covered with thick black hair. Because of the tension, sweat kept oozing from the surface of his skin and quickly frozen into ice. They trembled and fell deep in the leather robe, melted by body temperature, and turned into liquid mixed with strong body odor and salty smell.

Tianhao deliberately slowed down. He and Tiankuang were wearing soft leather boots, and the deer, which was used as bait, wrapped all its feet in hay. Doing so as to minimize the collision between the soles of the feet and the ground.

A strong rope cover was tied to the deer's head, wrapping the entire deer's mouth tightly. At about fifty meters near the beach, Tianhao stopped. He and Tiankuang pressed the deer hard and put it down. The front and hind legs were each in a group, tied with strong ropes. After doing this, Tianhao subconsciously glanced at the sea surface, and it was still calm, and there was nothing but the white broken ice drifting with the flow.

The poor deer understood nothing. It lay on the ground, looking at the two humans who controlled themselves with confusing eyes. Tianhao pulled out the sword that was inserted into the sheath of the back and made a gesture to Tiankuang. The latter nodded understandingly and held the battle axe tightly in his hand with flexible movements. Tiankuang knew that he could never make a sound now, staring at Tianhao focused on his movements, observing his movements, and following his frequency. The two of them raised their weapons above their heads at almost the same time, and slashed them hard at the tied young deer.

The feeling of cutting the flesh on the sharp metal blade is so clear. The broken bones are broken and formed into sound waves into the cochlea, forming an extremely clear concept of thinking in the mind. The fishy deer blood splattered on the face, hot and wet and sticky, but Tianhao had no idea to wipe it out. He jumped over the snow and howled a young deer, threw down the sword in his hand, and ran toward the way he came at the fastest speed in his life.

The plan after many drills does not need to be explained again. Tian Kuang also threw away the battle axe and rushed towards the top of the gentle slope at a speed that was not inferior to Yu Tianhao. As long as he returns within the specified time, it means that he has received safety guarantees.

The deer with four legs cut off was lying on the ground and struggling in pain. It curled up several times and wanted to stand up, but could not find a normal support point as before. The gravel mixed with ice cubes sprinkled with large red liquid, which quickly condensed in the cold wind of crying.

"Swoosh!"

A huge stream of water suddenly jumped from the calm sea, and a silver-white snake-shaped creature jumped high from underwater, knocked through the sea with huge kinetic energy, and rushed towards the land that was close to the place.

The huge movement behind him made Tianhao feel the urge to turn around and watch. This is not the era he is familiar with, there are too many things fascinating him. However, he knew that he could never do this now. If he didn't want to die, he could only run forward at a faster speed.

You can already see the head of the high head of the crossbow directly in front of you. The strong smell of blood stimulated the nostrils, and Tianhao roared wildly: "Pull it, pull it quickly!"
