Chapter 0209: One rider takes the lead
The appearance of the ship completely ignited the enthusiasm of the tribe members.
The onlookers burst into great cheers.
The tribe members could understand its huge role at a glance.
In this era, there are two types of carriages that can drive on the water, one is a canoe and the other is a bamboo raft.
Canoe, all tribes can make, and most tribes can operate canoes independently.
The tribesmen know the advantages and disadvantages of canoe well.
The canoe is made of hollowed out entire tree trunks.
This way of making determines that the canoe cannot be big.
First of all, a thick tree is usually between relatively remote mountains. It is very difficult for tribes of this era to create such trees.
Moreover, such large trees are very laborious to cut down due to the backward tools.
On the other hand, making canoes is also very difficult. It is not as simple as modern society to empty a tree trunk.
Because they all use stone tools and their processing capabilities are very low, it takes a long time to make a canoe.
And there is also a very serious problem: whether canoe can be successfully made depends on luck.
During the processing of canoe, the wood is very prone to cracking.
If the wood cracks, it will leak, and the canoe will be useless. You have to give up and waste a lot of effort and energy.
Therefore, although canoes are often used by tribes of this era, the number of canoes owned by each tribe is actually not large. Canoes are very valuable for each tribe.
Another type of carrier bamboo raft is much simpler to make, but its effect is very limited.
One is water leakage, and many items cannot bear it. On the other hand, his load capacity is very weak. A few people stood on a bamboo raft, and the entire bamboo raft was almost flooded in the water.
It’s okay to carry a bamboo raft near the shore to fish, but it’s impossible to use a bamboo raft to transport some items from a distance.
Boat, this new water vehicle, has the advantages of not leaking water from canoes and the advantages of wide bamboo raft area.
Each boat was seated with ten people and several thick logs were piled up, while the boat was still able to float on the water without sinking or capsizing.
This... is so perfect!
The tribe members cheered while following the wooden boat.
But slowly, they found that they could not keep up with the speed of the wooden boat, and they had to trot.
Later, they found that they were trotting and still couldn't keep up with the speed of the wooden boat.
The tribe members were shocked.
Too fast!
How can you not be happy?
You should know that there were ten people sitting on the boat at this time.
These ten people are a team.
Commander commanded, commander of the sergeant was in charge, and the other eight soldiers paddled.
Rowing is familiar to every tribe. Many of the warriors selected by the tribes who have entered the army are among the best.
After two months of training, their discipline has been strengthened to a certain extent.
When I first got on the boat, I was unfamiliar with my movements, but under the unified order of the long line, the movements of the ten people gradually became neat, so the speed of the wooden boat became faster and faster.
The soldiers who rowed were in the same mood as the onlookers, and were also very excited.
After getting familiar with the operation of the wooden boat, their paddling force became stronger and stronger, and the speed of the wooden boat gradually exceeded the speed of the tribe running on the shore.
At the beginning, the atmosphere between the various boats was quite peaceful and the speed was almost the same.
But as a boat surpassed the boat that was driving in front of him, the atmosphere on the scene became full of gunpowder.
This guy who stirred up the tension was Fu Yun.
During the training, Fu Yun performed extremely well. Without any surprises, why did he be promoted to be long?
After boarding the boat, everyone followed Ye Qing's instructions and directed their soldiers to paddle at the rhythm of their usual queue training.
The effect of this is very obvious. The familiar rhythm allows the soldiers to quickly enter the state, the movements become uniform, and the wooden boats are moving faster and faster.
But Fu Yun didn't know what he was going to do. After the soldiers under him became familiar with the control of the wooden boat, the rhythm of the command he shouted was slowly accelerating without anyone noticing it.
So the wooden boat where Fu Yun was located was lifted up at a speed and quickly surpassed the ship in front.
The soldiers on the ship who were surpassed became indignant, and were surprised.
What I set out first actually made the ship behind me go in front of me!
And, it was still under the watch of countless tribes!
How can I tolerate this?
The ship's mind was so hot that it also accelerated the pace of the password.
However, speeding up the pace is not that simple. The pace of the password suddenly becomes faster and there is a big problem.
The soldiers kept up with the rhythm for a while, and their movements became chaotic under the changing command. The speed of their ship not only did not increase, but instead slowed down.
This caused laughter and booing among the onlookers.
The leader and his soldiers became more and more embarrassed, causing their movements and rhythm to become more chaotic, and the ship became slower and slower.
Fu Yun's wooden boats sped all the way, passing one wooden boat after another. Whenever he passed one wooden boat, it attracted the cheers of the onlookers.
The wooden boat he passed by was already driving well, suddenly seemed to be paralyzed. The soldiers' movements deformed and the ship's speed slowed down.
However, these surpassed wooden boats were also indifferent and still drove slowly at their own pace, and did not change their own pace because of Fu Yun's trouble.
This ship is where Ge Wu is located.
Ge Wu also became a leader.
Being competitive is not his personality, his personality is a salted fish.
He just glanced at Fu Yun lightly, ignored him, and still shouted his slogans slowly.
He didn't even take the laughter and booing of the onlookers in his heart, and he didn't even look at it.
To him, he is just performing tasks.
If he had no mission, he wouldn't have come in such a lively occasion.
He doesn't like the excitement.
This time the mission is to drive a round trip, but there is no specified time, so why do you row so quickly?
Are you not tired when you row hard?
Although his soldiers were a little angry when they were surpassed, they were also helpless.
After two months, they already knew what their temper was...
Fight for the first place?
Don’t think about this kind of thing!
Make a quick stroke with peace of mind!
...
Seeing the wooden boats that were originally well-organized and sailing in sequence suddenly became chaotic, Ye Qing was a little strange. When he saw a boat racing first, he couldn't help but burst into laughter.
This reminded him of the dragon boat racing in his previous life.
Unfortunately, he did not have a drum on each ship, otherwise, he would be more like a drum beat.
However, the dragon boat racing can be started in the future.
This is a good activity that can promote the exchanges and integration of ethnic groups.
