Yi and Peng walked around the tribe, guarding the entrance, guard posts on the cliffs, roads deep in the valley, etc., were all the key points of tribe defense. The valley where the tribe is located is surrounded by black stones. These stones are very heavy. Many metal objects in the tribe have some powder of this stone. In fact, people at that time did not know that this stone was the metal that brought changes to mankind later - iron.

Back at the tribe, Yi found Da Lao directly. He told Da Lao about Peng’s suggestions. Da Lao said: “The suggestion is good, but our tribe has never had such a precedent. If you let women participate in battles, do you know the importance of women?”

Yi nodded: "I know this matter is difficult, but Da Lao should also be clear that the tribe is not very bad now, and there are very few people who can mobilize. In the past, when fighting, close combat required strong men. However, now it is different. We have to passive defense. More importantly, we have long-range attack weapons such as bows and arrows. This weapon does not require too strong power, and many warriors cannot use it at all. Women are different. They can not only use these weapons, but also solve the dilemma of insufficient personnel in the tribe."

Old Da nodded: "I agree to do this, but I'm afraid others will have any objections?"

Yi smiled: "I understand, especially Mr. Fu, I will definitely not agree. However, my idea is to gather all the tribe members and ask everyone for their opinions. What if anyone is willing to learn bows and arrows?"

Old Da nodded: "Okay, I'll call everyone now, but I can't guarantee success?" After that, Old Da took out a handful of horns and handed them to a young woman: "Call up the tribe members and study important things before the altar."

The woman took the horns and turned around and walked out. Da Lao turned his head and said, "If it can be successful, I want to leave the tribe's defense to the woman. You bring all the soldiers to the bank of the Yellow River to guard. There is the first line of defense, and there is no mistake."

Yi nodded: "I have asked Peng to inform Kang that he will lead the selected archery warriors to the bank of the Yellow River. In addition, there are already thirty warriors there, and there are seventy people. However, these soldiers are not skilled in using bows and arrows, so they need to hurry up and practice?"

Old Da nodded: "The rainy season will be at least forty days to end, which should be enough." As he said, the sound of cow horns coming from outside, Old Da walked out and said as he walked: "Who will teach them a woman's archery warrior?"

Yi thought for a moment: "My idea is taught by me personally, so it should be faster?"

Da Lao shook his head: "Forget it, you still have a lot of things to do. Without this time, in the tribe, besides the use of bows and arrows, have you brought Tao back from the bank of the Yellow River? Let him teach everyone to practice?"

Yi thought for a moment: "This person is introverted and doesn't like talking. I'm afraid he won't understand?"

Da Lao smiled: "That's better. You should know that only such people will not make mistakes. Letting Peng teach everyone practice with him can be considered as mutual supervision, right?"

Yi thought about it and had to nod in agreement.

Soon, the two arrived at the altar, and the tribe members surrounded the altar. When they saw Yi and Da Lao, they all made way. They walked up to the altar, and Da Lao glanced at it: "Old Fu, Old Yan, Old Ji, come up too."

The three of them looked at each other and then walked up to the altar. When Da Lao saw the three of them coming up, he thought for a while and said, "Today we have summoned all the tribes to come here. There are two things to tell you. I think everyone knows that the tribe is in the most difficult time. We have no high priests; no elders; but we have to face the attacks of the three major tribes. The newly selected leader Yi led the soldiers to repel the Dachao clan and the attacks of the Chao clan. However, there are more powerful Nuwa about to come. However, we have less than two hundred soldiers now, and it is difficult to defeat the Nuwa tribe with more than one thousand people. Therefore, we need warriors and those who need to help the leader. Now I announce that Mr. Fu, Mr. Yan, and Mr. Ji have officially become core members of the tribe and assist the leader in the management of the tribe."

As soon as Mr. Da finished speaking, the tribe members below were discussing each other, and their opinions were relatively unified. As the oldest four people in the tribe, they were indeed qualified to become core members of the tribe and had no objection.

Old Da looked at everyone: "Everyone, calm down, now, let our leader explain the second thing." After saying that, he signaled Yi to step forward. Yi smiled bitterly and took two steps forward: "Old Da said clearly just now. Due to the arrival of the rainy season, the Nuwa tribe may not attack us immediately. However, the rainy season only has fifty or sixty days, and it will end in the end, and the people we can fight will not change. Recently, with the help of Old Yan and Old Ji, we have made a long-range attack weapon, called bow and arrow, which can be used by anyone. This morning, I saw several five or six-year-old children practicing bow and arrow, which is an inspiration for us. We should let all capable people in the tribe learn to use bow and arrow, so that the problem of insufficient warriors can be solved."

Yi Gang said this, and Mr. Fu frowned. What she wanted to say, but was pulled by Mr. Da. Yi continued: "A weapon like a bow and arrow is very simple and has great lethality. Knowing that a woman can easily kill a large beast; if she learns it, she can stand on the watchtower and shoot beasts and enemies close to the tribe; if she learns it, she can stand behind the warriors and help the group of warriors eliminate all invading enemies. Therefore, today, she summons the tribe members here to seek everyone's opinions. Is anyone willing to learn bow and arrow?"

As soon as Yi finished speaking, the tribe members below shouted loudly: "Yes, I want to learn."

Old Fu, Old Yan, Old Ji stood on the altar and saw everything clearly. Old Fu looked very bad. She glanced at Old Da, as if there was a lot to say. However, standing on the altar, she couldn't say it immediately, so she had to endure it.

When Da Lao saw hundreds of women below shouting to learn bows and arrows, a smile appeared on her face. She knew that this matter had succeeded. In Da Lao's heart, there was always a view that women could not only give birth to children, but also play a powerful role in the survival of the tribe. Now, it is time for women to play their role.
