In later life, Han Cheng didn't watch many TV dramas, not because he didn't like them, but because he couldn't watch many of them after just a few takes.
However, "Drawing Sword" is definitely not included in this.
He watched Li Youbin's version of "Drawing Sword" at least four times and had a deep memory of many of the plots.
For example, "Half a Catty of Sweet Potato Stew", "Pillar, you hit it wrong", "Cavalry Company, charge!", "Li Yunlong, fire your cannon", "Victory Parade" and so on, all of these can be reproduced in my mind as long as I think about them for a while.
As a senior fan of "Drawing Sword", when preparing to select the people of Qingque tribe, Lao Li's method of killing pigs immediately came to his mind.
Of course Han Cheng used it without hesitation.
Of course, if possible, he would rather shout: "Second Captain, where is your fucking Italian cannon?"
Han Cheng recalled the style of Captain Li while saying to the people of the Qingque tribe: "For archery, if you hit five out of ten arrows at a distance of 40 meters, you can go and have a meal. For slingshot, if you hit three out of ten at a distance of 40 meters, you can go and have a meal!"
After Han Cheng finished his request, the eyes of Second Senior Brother and Junior Brother Sha immediately lit up.
Such a request was simply too easy for both of them.
The two men said something to Han Cheng and left with their belongings.
Junior Brother Sha came to a place forty meters away and stood still. He took out a feather arrow from the quiver made of folded tree bark hanging around his waist, pulled the bow, and released his hand without aiming.
With a "thump" sound, the arrow pierced through the straw target and got nailed to the wooden stake behind it.
“Knock knock knock…”
Junior Brother Sha shot the bow continuously, and nine out of ten arrows hit the straw target.
The crowd watching couldn't help but cheer.
Han Cheng had never seen such an archery skill as shooting an arrow through a target from a hundred paces away, but Junior Brother Sha's archery skills had already made Han Cheng extremely satisfied.
“Watch me!”
The second senior brother, who was stimulated by Junior Brother Sha's archery skills, shouted and went to the slingshot practice area with the slingshot.
He stood still at a distance of forty meters, took out a stone bullet and put it into the net bag. After swinging his arm in a circle, he loosened his hand and the stone bullet in the net bag flew out quickly. After some white smoke rose from the target, a "clang" sound was heard.
Out of ten stone bullets, seven hit the target!
The crowd cheered again.
With the successful demonstration of Junior Brother Sha and Second Brother, and the encouragement of millet rice, the enthusiasm of the rest of the people was fully mobilized.
They had a lot of fun shooting arrows and throwing stones.
Some people who didn't practice well on weekdays regretted it very much at this time.
Han Cheng watched here for a while, then asked Wu and his eldest senior brother to watch one side each while he went to cook.
The water in the big vat has been heated up. Dilute it with cold water and use it to wash vegetables and pots.
Xing has already cut the meat. Cooked meat is much easier to cut than raw meat.
The twin sisters Xiaomei and Xiaoli also came back with two baskets of rapeseed. Without Han Cheng's instructions, they started picking the rapeseed.
Seeing that the ingredients were almost ready, Han Cheng began his performance.
Heat the pan on the fire, scoop up some solidified oil with a wooden spatula and put it into the pan, add some chopped green onions to stir-fry, then add the meat slices and rapeseed...
Han Cheng did all this skillfully. The aroma of the food had already spread far away, and it was so alluring that it went straight into one's nostrils.
Second Senior Brother, Junior Brother Sha and others, who had already confirmed that they could eat these, stood not far away and watched Han Cheng do all this, their throats rolling up and down.
Those who failed to meet the requirements in archery and stone throwing could only swallow their saliva when they smelled the fragrance.
While feeling envious and regretful, I also made up my mind to practice these two weapons well in the future.
When people's living conditions are not high and their demands are not high, it only takes a small cost to fully mobilize their enthusiasm.
For example, in the Qingque tribe at this time, half a can of millet rice and half a pot of stir-fried vegetables and pork slices were enough to make everyone full of energy.
After selection, there were eight people in total, including Junior Brother Sha, who met the requirements for archery.
The slingshot is difficult to control and its accuracy is a bit poor. Even though Han Cheng has lowered the requirements, there are only six people including the second senior brother.
Among them, the eldest brother's archery was more accurate, while Shang's slingshot was more accurate, and both of them met the requirements.
After Han Cheng's proposal and discussion with Wu and the eldest brother, such arrangements were made for the people of the Qingque tribe.
Pull out the eldest brother and Shang from the archery and stone throwing groups respectively, and find someone who is better at archery and stone throwing to fill their vacancies.
The fourteen men were then divided into two teams, one specializing in bows and arrows, the other in slings.
The persons in charge are Junior Brother Sha and Second Senior Brother.
As for the eldest senior brother and Shang, Han Cheng had other arrangements for them.
Within the tribe, long-range attack means alone are not a big problem when relying on the walls for defense, but it is not enough when leaving the walls and attacking.
Once the enemy rushes towards them amid a hail of arrows and stones, these people who are only good at long-range attacks will have no advantage.
So in order to avoid this situation, Han Cheng prepared to develop another type of troops.
Rattan shield soldiers and spearmen.
These people were composed of people who were not good at archery and stone throwing.
In view of the fact that the eldest senior brother has a more calm temperament, and Shang has some extreme personality traits in dealing with the enemy due to his previous experiences, the vine shield team responsible for defense will be led by the eldest senior brother, and the spear team will be led by Shang.
There are two teams, one attacking and one defending, and each team has a total of eight people including the captain.
In close combat, there is a saying that an inch longer is an inch stronger, and an inch shorter is an inch more dangerous. The power of spear formations has been verified in history.
So when trying to conceive and arrange the armament of the Qingque tribe, Han Cheng did not hesitate to bring out the simple and practical spearmen.
When the time came, they really encountered a battle with other tribes in the wild. The Green Bird tribe's vine shield soldiers were in the front, spear soldiers were in the back, and the archers and slingshot teams were on the sides and rear.
Before the enemy arrives, use bows and slings to kill a wave, and then use rattan shields to stop those who can rush to the front, and stab them with spears before they get close...
Such a combination would undoubtedly cause great damage to people who could not ride on mounts and could only run on their own two legs.
However, when arranging these matters, there are a few exceptions and they do not have to participate.
These people are Bo, Heiwa, Liang and Tietou.
They all have special skills and are talents that Han Cheng has cultivated with great difficulty. They are of great use to the tribe.
Such talents are exactly what the Qingque tribe lacks. The loss of each of them would be an immeasurable loss to the Qingque tribe. Han Cheng naturally would not let them carry out this extremely dangerous activity.
They were very reluctant about this and thought it was a sign of cowardice.
Only after Han Cheng explained the reasons to them in detail, emphasized the importance of logistical production, and told them that they must participate in the battle to defend the tribe, did they calm down.
Of course, these selected people are not idle every day and are only responsible for training. Given the current situation of the Qingque tribe, they cannot afford to support such professional armed forces.
After all, these thirty people already comprise more than half of the adult labor force of the Qingque tribe.
