Chapter 696 Preparations Before Traveling

Because this trip is very important, Mu Feng called Shuo Feng back and asked him to take more hunting team members out hunting.

Considering that the great chief hadn't taken him out hunting for a long time, and the great chief said "bring more", Shuo Feng selected 150 of the 300 hunting team members to wait.

Afterwards, he asked Han Shu and Bai Qiu to choose a hundred or so fighters.

Of course, there are also those sixty-four eagle control fighters who are indispensable for this trip.

In addition, Sha Laosan, Meng Ji Beast, Eagle Feathered Dragon and other beasts that need to be followed regularly will also be taken out.

After all, he hasn't fully figured out what kind of beasts are in the valley.

These preparations are very common for Da Jiang's people, and they will be ready soon.

But the problem is that Huolong has been practicing for a long time and has not yet learned how to ride a horse. This speed and comprehension ability are not as good as the big flicker!

In desperation, Mu Feng had to stay in the tribe for two more days, and use this time to arrange the affairs of the tribe well.

Naturally, the first priority was the arrangements for the Ministry of Fire and Fire to join Jiang.

The Dajiang people have changed from more than 3,000 people to 4,560 people. The population has increased sharply, and the pressure is even greater.

Excluding the food prepared for the "migrant workers" who built Pixiu City, the originally surplus food is now a little nervous.

However, according to current estimates, it will not be a problem to survive the coming year.

But it is obviously not Mufeng's style to tighten his belt.

After Li Hu told him about the food situation, he had already started planning in his heart how to store more food for the winter.

"A man can't get rich without windfall, and a horse can't get fat without night grass!" Mu Feng thought to himself, "There should be a lot of stock in the dragon department, hehe..."

Fortunately, it is now approaching late autumn, and there is still some time before winter, so he can still think of ways to prepare.

In addition to the population arrangement, he also explained how Li Hu and others should deal with the potential accountability of the Jade Bird Department.

The reason is nothing more than Fuyu's rhetoric: the Hongluan tribe is a subordinate tribe of Dajiang, and the Yanhuo tribe has caused heavy losses to the Hongluan tribe. Then Da Jiang came to ask for responsibility, and the Ministry of Fire and Fire blamed himself for not being able to compensate, so they all had to join Da Jiang.

The reason for this seemingly leaking wind is actually to explain to the Blue Bird Department.

With the relationship between Jiang and the Jade Bird Department, as long as the Jade Bird Department is not stupid, they all know how to deal with it.

The second place is naturally the construction of new buildings for the tribe.

Due to the sudden increase in population, the earth buildings under construction were obviously not enough. The addition of the Ministry of Fire and Fire made Da Jiang build another ten or so earth buildings at once.

In desperation, Mu Feng had no choice but to order people to tear down the first protective wall, and took advantage of the trend to open mountains on both sides of Nanshan and Beishan, and build earthen buildings according to the terrain, so as to maximize the use of the existing terrain inside the city wall.

Even so, there still seems to be insufficient space for the construction of earth buildings inside the protective wall on the first floor.

The current plan is to build earthen buildings westward on the area west of the city wall—the place over there is large enough, and it is estimated that there will be no problem in building more than ten or twenty buildings.

Of course, this does not count the mirror cities outside.

If some of these clansmen were diverted, the situation would be improved again.

And the reason why he insisted on letting these people from the Yanhuo Department live in the tribe for a period of time is to strengthen their recognition of Da Jiang, so that they will be loyal to Da Jiang if they are diverted out—are they with the Moxiong Department? Those old oily guys are different!

In addition to arranging the affairs of the Ministry of Fire and Fire and the construction of the earth building, he also urged Qige to take out part of the crossbow that he made for the soldiers on this trip.

Not many, only sixty or seventy, all crossbows.

When they first got the crossbow, none of Jiang's soldiers understood what it was.

But after Mu Feng demonstrated how to use the crossbow, and everyone saw the range and penetrating power of the crossbow, everyone's expression changed from doubt to shock.

Those warriors who did not get the crossbow were full of envy for those who did.

In particular, the arrows used in crossbows are also special short arrows, which are more convenient to carry, which flattered the first batch of soldiers who were allowed to use crossbows.

Mu Feng warned: "This weapon is called a crossbow. Like bows and arrows, it is my Da Jiang's unique weapon, and the crossbow will be my Da Jiang's unique weapon. Anyone who holds a crossbow is not allowed to disclose it, and is not allowed to let it go. Leave the crossbow from your side, otherwise, it will be regarded as a betrayal of Jiang!"

All the soldiers were shocked, feeling the cruelty and judgment in Mu Feng's words, and nodded one after another: "Yes!"

Mu Feng nodded in satisfaction.

In fact, it wasn't that he was careful, it was because the lethality and destructive power of the crossbow was too strong. Once it was obtained by other tribes, and someone smart enough to obtain the method of making the crossbow, it would be a fatal threat to Da Jiang!

You must know that the control of crossbows in all dynasties in history has been very strict.

This is similar to gun control in previous lives.

And he told Da Jiang soldiers to treat crossbows with reference to the requirements of soldiers and guns in the army: guns are not allowed to leave the body, otherwise they will be severely punished!

He needs to let Da Jiang's fighters have this awareness from the beginning.

Because of the basic skills of bows and arrows, these soldiers quickly mastered the use of crossbows.

Of course, as the great chief, Mu Feng also obtained a well-made hand crossbow.

Purely in terms of range and power, this crossbow is not inferior to the crossbow, because Mufeng specially made the seven grids use double-string arrows, and the materials used for the crossbow body are also composite "parts" similar to composite bows.

Because it was later that Wood Wind temporarily "added

Materials", so only three such hand crossbows were produced.

One was given to Mufeng, one was given to Lihu, and the other was left in the tribe, waiting for Bai Yue to come back from the west for him to use.

Of course, such hand crossbows are destined not to be used on a large scale. After all, the production is complicated, and the power is not as great as that of the crossbow. The only saving grace is that it is small in size and easy to carry.

The reason why Mufeng urged Qige to make these hand crossbows was nothing more than to give each of Da Jiang's "important leaders" a weapon for self-defense.

Of course, in addition to the crossbow, Mufeng also needs to make some copper coins in seven blocks, in case of the next market transactions and Jiang's "employment".

Three days before and after, Huolong and others finally became proficient in riding horses.

Only then did Mu Feng lead a group of people away from Da Jiang and set off again.

This time he went out purely to capture horses, red deer and other mounts for Da Jiang.

The number is one hundred and fifty hunting team members, one hundred fighters, sixty-four eagle control fighters, and five people including the fire dragon.

Each person has a mount, mainly horses and red deer.

Considering the need to capture red deer, Mufeng asked Shuofeng to bring ten more armored earth dragons.

Now there are sixty or seventy armored earth dragons in the Dajiang tribe, so there is no need to be stingy when traveling, be careful.

This lineup alone shocked Huolong.

Because the lineup of more than 300 people has mounts, and there are extra cattle and horses specially used to carry food for travel.

In addition, the appearance of Sha Laosan, Mengji beast, five-color ox, eagle-feathered dragon and other ferocious beasts made him and the five of them lose their voices in shock.

Only then did they realize that the young chieftain was a beast master!

Before he could recover from the shock, Mu Feng's next actions made him feel like a god again.

Because after leaving Dragon City, not long after entering the forest, Mu Feng whistled one at a time. First, a group of monkeys came from the forest and landed on the mount of Warrior Jiang from the tree skillfully. It was gray wolves emerging from the woods.

Obviously, these beasts all respect wood wind as the main one!
