In two years, the task of transforming the Ba people has basically been completed.

The development of the six tribes has also been on track. After this autumn and winter, Xu Chen believes that building houses and farming in other tribes will be carried out on a large scale.

The Gonghuo Clan Alliance has now learned almost all new skills besides spinning, weaving and firing pottery. It will also catch up with the development pace of the six clans in a maximum of one or two years.

Perhaps, I have been with the Ba tribe for too long and even God can't stand it anymore, so I asked the little witch to tell me something and asked me to go out to jungle and upgrade.

Xu Chen decided to follow the instructions of the gods and the guidance of the great witches and prepare for a long journey in the cold winter.

First, strengthen the connection and exchanges with the tribes of the downstream Gonghuo Alliance.

The second is to inquire about the distribution of tribals on both sides of the Wulong River.

The departure time is arranged around winter.

In more than ten days, the annual Witch Lord Conference will be held.

It just happened to take this rare opportunity to conduct a military competition between the seven clans, including the Gonghuo Alliance, to integrate the military forces again to form a stronger combat capability and a close command system.

In addition, in order to make travel more convenient, the Ba people have to adapt to boats and cross the river.

Some time ago, the temple was built and the road was built and many trees were cut down and dried for a few months, which was just for making rafts.

So at Xu Chen's order, the Ba men and a group of prisoners carried all the woods to the mouth of the river outside the valley and began to build a wharf to build a raft.

Autumn and winter are the shallowest and most stable periods of river water. It may be a bit cold in the water, but the savages are not afraid of the cold at first. In the middle of winter, a fur that cannot be covered by the eggs is passed. What is really hard to bear are the elderly and infants.

What's more, there is nearly a month left before winter, and it is far from the coldest winter month.

There are people who beat ice and winter swimming, but autumn is no problem.

Besides, he doesn't know how to row every day, and he must not be himself who falls into the water, so there is nothing to worry about.

Maybe I fell into the water a few more times to cool down this group of passionate guys, so as not to really think that I am invincible in the world.

It’s easier to do things with people.

In a blink of an eye, a simple dock made of wood and stone appeared near the river beside the junction of the small river mouth and the big river, and several simple rafts had been laid.

A group of hunters basically started to practice without Xu Chen's arrangement, holding long wooden poles and paddling around the shallow water area of ​​the river.

In February of spring, I went to the Gonghuo Clan to attend the inheritance conference. When the Cang Clan was building a raft for the first time, many hunters had already come into contact with it.

It can be pulled a few more or less.

However, the size of Wulong River and Ji Cang River is incomparable.

Even in the autumn and winter seasons, the width of the river surface is still more than fifty meters. The river water flow seems to be stable, but in fact it is deep and fast. It is impossible to control the slender poles alone. Therefore, Xu Chen asked several carpenters to make oars. In order to make direction easier, he also invented oars.

The paddle mimics the fins.

The oar is actually a large oar, but it is placed at the stern to imitate the fish's tail. While using sway to push the boat forward, it can also use the spoiler of its oars to adjust the direction of the boat's advance.

In fact, on the calmer river surfaces and canals and lake surfaces, just use oars.

But in the river, because the turbulent waters are complex, the poles and oars are often unable to adapt to changes in the situation, so they must have greater external forces to change the speed and direction of the boat, and oars are necessary.

Just like a dragon boat, the boat can reach an amazing speed when dozens of people paddle together.

After several rafts were built, a group of hunters and prisoners trained, and Xu Chen continued to improve. As the oars and oars continued to be added, the rafts looked more and more complicated, but the division of labor and training became more strict and serious.

The big-sleeved spear throwers and some stunning iron kids are basically organized into the paddle team to act as muscle engines, and those with more flexible minds learn to support poles and oars to control the movement direction of the boat. Each raft also specifically designates a guy with the best water quality as the captain, responsible for unified command.

After the division of labor is clear, it is naturally necessary to cooperate more strictly.

When to row, when to use a pole, when to pull the oar, all the boatmen need to coordinate and unify according to the captain's instructions.

Every time during training, Xu Chen would stand on the shore and direct loudly.

However, they are all a group of primitive savages who have just started learning to train boats, and various situations are inevitable during training.

The situation is similar to what Xu Chen expected. The rafts overturned almost every day, and savages fell into the water every day, especially when the two ships meet or are about to dock, they use poles and wooden pulp to support each other and row around, and then the sound of ghosts crying and wolves falling into the water.

Xu Chen could only sigh with a black face looking at the messy water surface.

Fortunately, the training area was strictly limited to the shallow water area of ​​the river berth. Although one after another, one of them got up after falling into the water, and the fur was shaking, there were no casualties.

However, this chaos has also improved over time.

It was mid-September in a blink of an eye, and there were only three days left before the Wushu Conference.

After a period of training, a group of hunters and prisoners gradually became more and more serene. Although they were still in a hurry to cry and howl when encountering an emergency, most of the time they were able to make relatively standardized actions according to some simple commands that had been trained.

A total of six rafts were woven in front and behind, each raft could carry six people, and a total of thirty-six people were carried.

The captain stood in front with a long pole in his hand and was responsible for controlling the direction and issuing commands. There were four oarsmen on both sides, and one person was responsible for handling the oars.

After forming six rafts for a day, Xu Chen decided to conduct a practical drill to cross the Wulong River.

The river surface of the Wulong River outside the mouth of the Ba Clan River Valley is not too wide, and the situation on both sides is similar. However, there has been no trace of the savages on the opposite side. There is no need to worry too much about encountering danger after crossing the river. The most dangerous one is the location of the center of the river. The water is deep and the current is fast. Once a raft is overturned, the person may be destroyed.

It's just a mule or a horse, so you have to pull it out and take it.

If this quiet river cannot be conquered, how can the larger rivers and even the sea be conquered?

Therefore, whether it is nervous or worried, Xu Chen feels that as long as he is prepared, there will be no big problems.

After all, the Cang tribe only trained for two days and went down to the Gonghuo tribe for more than 100 miles, and no one was injured or killed.

The Wulong River is not much bigger than the Ji Cang River after the beginning of spring, but the water flows faster and deeper.

As long as you safely cross the deepest and most urgent area of ​​the river, there will be basically no danger.

In order to cross the river drill, Xu Chen specially prepared for half a day and reinforced all the rafts. All the bows, arrows, spears and other weapons were tied together. The poles, oars and oars were fixed on the rafts with ropes, including each boatman's waist, and safety ropes were also tied.

And before the crossing began, Xu Chen reiterated the discipline of crossing the river.

You should not panic when encountering anything. You must perform your duties and not be confused. When someone falls into the water in the river heart area, don’t rush to rescue him. Instead, try to cross the river heart and then find a way. The only goal is to ensure that the raft does not overturn.

After all the captains and crew members had assured that they had understood Xu Chen's request, Xu Chen ordered the horn to sound the horn and launch the first large-scale crossing exercise in the wild by humans.

"Woo~Woo~Woo~~~"

A loud and long horn sounded.

Several flags rolled up in the violent river wind.

Six rafts lined up in the river berth, and all the boatmen were already standing or sitting in their own positions, holding oars and oars in hand to stand firmly.

"One boat, set off!"

As the flag in his hand was waving, he arranged on the raft in the first position, the naked captain gently pushed the pole with a pole, and the raft shook slightly and pushed the water away from the dock, slowly heading towards the center of the river.

Dozens of people gathered near the dock on the shore, holding their breath and clenching their fists.

Most of these guys have poor water properties or are just land ducks, or they are full of fear at the water and can only be bystanders at the moment.

After the first raft was paddling out of the river, it began to sprint. Under the impact of the flowing water, it had drifted down the river for dozens of meters, but it looked pretty good and looked very stable.

The four oars flew up and down together. With the cooperation of the oars in front and behind, with the sound of oars in order, the raft drifted down rapidly with the river water, and was also constantly advancing to the other side.

With dozens of eyes nervously watching, the raft quickly broke through the fastest place, and the drifting speed obviously slowed down and became closer and closer to the other side.

"Yew~~"

A warm cheer sounded on the pier and in the river berth.

Everyone knows that the first raft has successfully crossed the river.

With the successful performance of the first raft, the people on the next few rafts also felt much more relaxed.

Then as the order was issued, the second raft also drove away from the river beside and slowly paddled towards the river center. With dozens of eyes watching, the raft and the beginning of paddles accelerated and rushed into the river center area. After entering the river center area, as the turbulent water continued to drift downward, it also struggled to paddle to the other side. Soon, the raft also successfully crossed the river center area and passed the most dangerous place without any danger.

"Yew~~"

A warm cheer broke out again on the Hewan Pier.

At this time, the first successful raft had already landed, and the hunter on the boat could not wait to escape into the river and rushed to the beach.

"Yew~"

"Yeshohohohohohohohohoho~"

Six bare-butt savages shouted and jumped excitedly on the river beach opposite, making a sound of ghosts and howling.

Although there is nothing on the other side, just like this, there are barren river beaches and withered wild weeds.

But for them, it has always been a strange and mysterious world.
