Primitives are stunned

Chapter 48 The Brick House
The semaphore is too complicated, not only the clansmen can't remember it, even Wang Hao himself can't remember it.

Fortunately, this most primitive war is like fighting in groups on earth.The clansmen don't need to learn any outflanking, nor do they need to learn any cascading advances.

In Wang Hao's view, as long as the clansmen can wave the flag to the left when they are fighting, they will shoot to the left, and when the flag is to the right, they will shoot to the right, then this war may not be possible at all. It will not be a time of hand-to-hand combat.

On the fourth day, there was no sign of Liu Village's large army in the distance.

The number of light and dark sentries has been increased to 15.The monitoring range has spread out for two miles.But when the lime came out of the kiln, there was no news of Liu Village's attack.

Every time it gets dark, the sentry clansmen will come back.At least [-]% of the people living on the Great Wilderness suffer from night blindness.Not to mention the moonless night, even when the moon is high, they can't see the distance.

What's more, night is the most frequent time for beasts to appear. The men who watch the night in the village have to shoot and kill several beasts that are eyeing the village every night.These guys dare not approach the village during the day, so they want to come to pick up cheap at night.However, they often died tragically under the bow.

Therefore, wars in the Great Wilderness often took place during the day. If one wanted to attack at night, perhaps [-]% of the manpower would be lost to ferocious beasts and poisonous insects before reaching the village.

All the clansmen, including Wang Hao, would not worry that Liu Village would attack the village while it was dark.

On the fifth day, the lime came out of the kiln. According to the arrangement of the previous few days, 15 people were sent out as usual to guard.Wang Hao, on the other hand, led the clansmen to flatten a piece of land in the village and built the first brick house in the clan.

A gutter was dug out of a straight piece of wood.After pouring water, it is a simple water level meter.One of the softest and slender rattans was tied with stones, and hung by wooden sticks to ensure the verticality of the wall.

A few planks were dug out with a planer, and they were used as lime sand shovels, and the short sword was used as a trowel.

A few pottery pots were spared and used as lime buckets, and the strong women would continuously transport fresh lime to the bricklayers selected by Wang Hao for use.

Under Wang Hao's demonstration, several bricklayers quickly learned this method of stacking bricks to build walls.Every two rows of bricks, move the rattan used for leveling to ensure that the wall will not be crooked.

By the time of lunch, with the concerted efforts of the clansmen, the four walls of the first brick house on the Great Wilderness had stood up in a decent manner.

In order to pay attention to firmness, the walls are thick double-layer brick walls.

Because the first batch of red bricks fired was limited, the house was only built at a height of [-] meters.However, considering the fear of water accumulation in rainy days, the back wall is about [-] centimeters higher than the front wall.

The gate opened on the south wall, and because the eight-ox crossbow was to be pushed in, the gate was opened a full three meters wide.On the east and west walls of the house, a window of one meter by one meter was opened, mainly for ventilation and lighting.

In the afternoon, there was still no news from Liu Village from the sentry clansmen.Wang Hao then led his clansmen to continue building the house.

The two thick girders were carried up by the clansmen into the grooves deliberately left on the roof.The top of the girder was neatly covered with planks over four centimeters thick.

The planks were cut horizontally from the entire section of wood by the clansmen with saws.When there is no cutting machine, this is the only way Wang Hao can think of to make wooden boards.

Between the planks and the bricks, a thick plaster is pasted, and the gaps between the planks are filled with resin, and then on top of the planks, the whole piece of bark peeled off by the tribe is covered.Nail it flat with dowels.

Finally, cover the bark with a thick layer of thatch.By the time this was done, the fifth day had passed.

A solid brick house with triple waterproofing. When the wooden doors and windows are finished tomorrow, no matter how heavy the rain is, it is impossible for the people inside the house to be drenched.

Wang Hu led a few strong men inside the house to level the ground with thick logs. Wang Haozai and the patriarch looked at this beautiful red brick house from outside in the afterglow of the setting sun.

"Miracle, this is a miracle!" The patriarch felt a little dizzy, and murmured with his hand on Wang Hao's shoulder.

The shock that the brick house brought to him was stronger than that of the Ba Niu Crossbow.After all, the Ba Niu crossbow was produced systematically, but the patriarch saw with his own eyes that this brick house was built by the clan members.

From taking soil to burning bricks, from burning lime to building a house, and finally building a house, this was an unimaginable feat in the past.

The square shape of the house is beautiful in the eyes of the patriarch.The red wall is a beautiful color in the eyes of the patriarch.Even the rough wall was beautiful to the patriarch.No matter how you look at it, this house is extremely beautiful in the eyes of the patriarch.

Thinking of what Wang Hao said, he would be able to live in such a beautiful house in the future, and the patriarch felt drunk.

"Xiaohao, will all the clansmen live in such a beautiful, um, house in the future?" Thinking about the dark and damp cave before, and then looking at this airy and bright brick house, even if the patriarch knew it was real, or Looking for someone to check again.

"That's right. Not only will every clansman be able to live in this beautiful house in the future, but we will also build a huge city with tall and thick walls made of this kind of bricks. We will live in the city, that At that time, even if our population exceeds one thousand, we don’t have to be afraid of monsters attacking the city, because monsters can’t get in at all, and we can use eight-ox crossbows, bows and arrows, and even gunpowder to attack them on the city wall.” He Patriarch Shoulder Looking at the house side by side, Wang Hao also fell into longing for the future.

Everything is difficult at the beginning, and this house will be the best beginning. Wang Hao believes that after this house, there will be countless houses appearing in the wilderness, and the city he described will not be far away.

"Well, it must be many years later when the city is built. I don't know if I can live to see the city with my own eyes." Looking at the tribe's prosperity day by day, from the beginning of being hungry to the present There is so much food that they can't finish it, from the naked clothes at the beginning to the current animal skins.The patriarch saw it in his eyes and was happy in his heart.It's a pity that he feels that his body is getting worse every day, especially his legs hurt. Even if it doesn't rain or fog, his legs hurt so much that he can't get up every morning.

Death is not terrible, everyone in the wilderness understands that this has happened to everyone.What the patriarch was afraid of was that he couldn't see with his own eyes the city that Wang Hao described towering over the wilderness.

If possible, the patriarch is even willing to die now, and he will come back to life when the city is built, even if he only lives for a short while, so that he can see what the city looks like.

"Uncle, don't worry, it won't be long before you will be able to see the city built with your own eyes." Wang Hao said confidently.

"Okay, don't make me happy. With just a few people, it will take eight or nine days to build a house. If you want to build a city as big as you said, I'm afraid it will take more than just burning bricks." It must burn until I die of old age." The patriarch said helplessly.

"Hehe, I know you won't believe what I say now, uncle, so let's make a bet, how about it?" Wang Hao laughed.

"Okay, just bet. If I can live to see the city built, even if I just take a look, I will be happy if I die immediately." The patriarch smiled heartily.

Just when the two were chatting happily, a clansman ran over out of breath.

"Hao, uh, patriarch, Liu, the people from Liu Village are here!" the clansman gasped.

"How far are they from our village now, and how many people have come?" Wang Hao asked

"One, one, an envoy, he named by name and said he wanted to see our patriarch, and their large army was five miles away. According to their envoy, this time they came with two 99 people" came to report The tribe said.

Wang Hu came out of the brick house, patted the iron sword on his waist and laughed loudly: "Hahaha, they only came so few people? They underestimated us too much, thinking that our Wangcun is as weak as before. Ah, this time we must let them go back and forth."

The patriarch gave him a majestic look, and then said to the messenger: "In this case, then bring their messenger up."

　PS: I don’t know why after finishing this chapter, I feel inexplicably excited. I want to share this joyful mood with everyone, so that everyone can be happy too.
