Summoning Total War

Chapter 43: Blacksmith Shop (Part 1)

The length of the centaur longbow is about one meter and five meters, and the bow has a smooth line with lines carved on it for easy holding.

   Murphy tried to hit the bow with an arrow, but after shooting out the arrow, he realized that he didn't know it at all. The movements of shooting arrows just now were basically subconscious movements that he learned and used from the movies in his previous life.

   But it seems that he still has a little talent in this area, and the arrows he shoots are not too good.

   In order to test the actual lethality of this centaur longbow more accurately, Murphy ordered the best archers in the town and territory to be called in to test the centaur longbow.

   It took more than half a day to test.

   The data obtained from the test was taken out by Murphy for special statistics.

   The maximum range of the Centaur Longbow is about 400 yards (about 360 meters), and the effective range is about 200 meters. The maximum attack power range is 100 meters. Within this distance, the arrows shot out have strong penetrating power!

The arrow used by the centaur longbow is a cone-shaped arrow, which is a very penetrating arrow with piercing properties.

   Even at a distance of 200 meters, this kind of arrow can easily penetrate ordinary half-body armor! This terrifying lethality is already a very abnormal weapon in this relatively primitive era!

   However, the defects of this weapon are also very obvious, and it takes a very strong arm to open it!

   Ordinary urban residents and ordinary soldiers cannot use this centaur longbow. If you want to open this longbow, you must have a strong enough arm! This requires archers to train for a period of time and supplement adequate nutrition.

   Murphy has no way to make accurate statistics on the power required to pull the centaur longbow, but according to his rough estimate, it needs about 120-140 pounds, which is about 60 kilograms of power! Ordinary people can't pull off this kind of strength requirement. This requires specially trained archers, and their arm strength will be far stronger than ordinary people!

  ------------------

   If Murphy remembers it correctly, the longbow has only appeared on a large scale in the earth age about 1,230 years.

  In other words, this kind of bow and arrow led the Roman era for nearly a thousand years!

   Murphy has heard of this weapon, but he has no idea how to make it. But what he didn't expect was that this time the goddess of luck was actually on his side!

   He was able to reach this weapon through people in this world.

  Although these weapons are used by the centaur, some strong humans can still use them.

   And from the structural point of view, the production of this centaur longbow is not very complicated, but the requirements for wood are relatively high. Murphy's territory is close to the Karazhan Mountains and a vast forest nearby.

   If you just look for trees with good enough wood, it is definitely not a problem.

  ………………

   In fact, after testing the lethality of the Centaur Longbow, Murphy's hands trembled slightly.

   Whether or not he can reach a trade with the centaur is not what Murphy cares about. What he really cares about at the moment is whether he can imitate this centaur longbow at the level of urban residents!

   Even if it can't reach its lethality standard, as long as it can be made in good order, it is almost the same.

   If the territory can train a thousand longbowmen, then any jackal is a scum, it is not a threat at all!

   To deal with non-armor-piercing creatures like jackals, archers are definitely a crushing threat!

   Although the damage of the javelin throw is not small, the effective range is too short.

   There is no advantage in attack range, and the role of the Javeliner has been greatly suppressed!

   In the previous test, as long as the strength is reached, the amount of ammunition fired by the centaur longbow is about 5-7 arrows per minute. This attack speed can be accelerated through training. According to Murphy's budget, a skilled archer should be able to get out about 10 arrows in a minute. That is one arrow in about six seconds!

   A thousand longbowmen, 10 arrows per person per minute, then a thousand longbowmen can shoot 10,000 arrows per minute!

   What a terrible data this is!

  Imagine that in just one minute of a battle on the battlefield, a full 10,000 arrows are poured into your position.

  Thinking about it, it makes my scalp numb!

   If it's just these, it's not enough to make Murphy so excited.

   What is the strongest of the Greek phalanx?

   Defensive ability!

   is impeccable in frontal confrontation!

   But the flaws of the Greek phalanx are also very obvious. They are not sufficiently maneuverable. Taking advantage of confrontation, there are countless ways to overcome it gradually.

   Now, with a long-range longbow, everything will no longer be a problem!

   After facing the enemy, as long as they can't pass the defense line of the Greek long spear phalanx, all enemies will be the longbowmen's living targets!

   What awaits them is to be harvested one by one!

   It can be said unceremoniously that if the Greek army gives Murphy the self-defense ability and defensive ability in this world, then the appearance of this centaur longbow means that Murphy uses the strongest attack method!

  ---------------------

"Pulifei! Very good! Very good!" Murphy looked at the sturdy middle-aged businessman in front of him, UU reading www.uukahnshu.com couldn't help but even said a few words very well. As a military enthusiast, Murphy was very good. Knowing the value of this longbow, he patted Pulifei heavily on the shoulder, and said in a deep voice: "There is a fertile land about one thousand acres 20 kilometers north of the town. When things are done, there It will be your territory, and you can arrange for the reclamation by yourself!"

   "Of course, we have to solve those jackals first!"

  Pulifei shook his hand when he heard that, and almost weakened his legs.

   A thousand acres!

   That is a thousand acres of land!

   This investment seems to be really profitable!

   In fact, it is not easy to obtain a longbow from the centaur, otherwise he wouldn't have only such a bow in his hand. As a smart businessman, he has always kept this bow very well, because he knows that this thing can only be taken out at the right time to win the greatest benefit for himself!

   It turns out that he got it right.

   Murphy's generous rewards are almost equal to the efforts of two generations of natives in this world!

   Now, not only the title of nobleman, but also the fief of nobleman.

   The only thing that is not good is that Murphy issued a decree to formally canonize him as a nobleman!

   People's minds are actually not that complicated sometimes.

   At least at this moment, Pulifei has a feeling of encountering Mingzhu! On the earth, there is a saying of'learning arts and martial arts and selling to the emperor's family'. In this world, why not?
