My Empire War Game
Chapter 41 Bow and Arrow
Environmental sanitation in cities and towns is a must. In the past, barbarians did not pay attention to personal hygiene. Later, Su Lun forced them to clean up their personal hygiene.
The savages all have medium and long hair, and some have braids, but these guys are too lazy to take care of their hair, so their hair is often dirty, and there are even a lot of lice in it. The smell is also choking.
Su Lun asked the goblin slaves to dig a big pit, then sprinkled lime in it, led the water of the Hongsha River into the big pit, and then threw all the barbarians into it by himself, so that they were not allowed to come out without soaking in it for half an hour. .
After several consecutive coercive measures, Su Lun finally taught these barbarians to pay attention to hygiene, but many barbarians were too lazy to take care of their hair and were afraid of being taught by Su Lun, and finally shaved all their hair.
As a result, except for the female barbarians in the current camp, eight out of ten male barbarians are bald. All the barbarian warriors are all bald, and now his barbarian guards are all bald and muscular, and they look very oppressive.
While hunting, the barbarian hunters accidentally caught a few wild horses. Suren also tried to train the wild horses, but these wild horses were difficult to train. Suren and the others did not have qualified horse trainers, but some mercenaries. He can ride a horse, but how to train a horse is half-hearted.
Su Lun didn't want to give up the cavalry, and there was no suitable candidate. In the end, he had to build a stable for these wild horses to live in. Maybe there will be more foals in the stable next year.
Because of the archer talisman, Su Lun can train archers, and the shooting range in the military camp has also been established. For now, the territory also needs a group of archers to increase long-range lethality.
In addition to the human factor, the weapon factor also accounts for a large proportion of archers. It is not easy to make a good bow and arrow. It is very complicated from material selection to production process, and there are many materials, such as bow tires. , you need to choose the best wood.
Even the production process needs to adapt to the seasons. I analyze the wood in winter, cook the corners in the spring, and treat the tendons in the summer. In the fall, I use glue, paint, and silk to combine the stems, corners, and tendons. Finally, I fix the bow body in the coldest season of winter, so I want one. A good bow and arrow will take at least two years.
Su Lun couldn't wait that long, so he planned to make some bows and arrows to make do, and wait for a while to see if there was a chance to go to the centaur tribe in the wilderness to trade some centaur longbows.
Because of the short time, the bows and arrows made by the blacksmith shop should be smaller in terms of range and power. However, it can also be used for training purposes. The archers were selected from among the mercenaries. Although these mercenaries were average in strength, they had used some weapons. The shooting range in General Su Lun's camp was set aside for them to practice.
There is a lot of red sand in the channel of the Hongsha River, which is why Su Lun named the river. The sand is very fine, and it is very useful for laying training grounds. Barbarians are energetic guys one by one. During the task, they often learn from wrestling and so on.
After the construction of the military camp was completed, these barbarians were happy and liked to fight on the campus when they had nothing to do. Now the campus is almost turning into a gladiatorial arena. Because of the lack of entertainment facilities in the territory, the gladiator fights of the barbarians are very popular in the camp. Welcome, Su Lun also let them go.
Most of the trees on the northern wasteland are pine, which is generally tough and not the best wood for bows and arrows. The most commonly used bows and arrows in the Kingdom of Florence are oak or teak. After drying, the bows made of these woods are tough and not easily deformed, and have a long range. They are standard equipment for the kingdom's army.
Of course, although the bow and arrow of the Kingdom of Florence is good, it is still a bit worse than the centaurs and half-elf races. The effective range of Florence's standard longbow is only about 100 meters, and some excellent archers can reach 120 meters. The distance to hit the target, and the effective range of the centaur's bow and arrow reached 150 meters, or even 200 meters, the same is true for the half-elf.
In addition to their more advanced technology in making bows and arrows, there is also the material of bows and arrows. The centaur longbow uses yew wood, and with their unique bow-making skills, as for the kind of bow and arrow used by the half-elf, it seems to be a special plant that they have cultivated.
Yew tree is expensive and can only grow in the depths of the northern wasteland. The wood is tough, highly elastic and highly malleable. The number of yew trees obtained by the Kingdom of Florence every year is very small, and most of them are from the centaur tribe. obtained from the transaction.
It was not easy for Su Lun to obtain this wood, unless he also crossed the wasteland and went further north to find a chance. Humans have not thought about transplanting yew trees. With the help of wizards, human beings have successfully transplanted and survived a batch of yew trees. However, after transplanting to the human kingdom, the quality of the yew trees that have grown into talents has deteriorated drastically.
The yew wood is one-third softer than that of the centaur, and it is not even comparable to the material of oak or teak. The cost is higher than teak oak, but the quality is not far behind them, the result is that yew is quickly thrown into the corner and forgotten.
If Suren wants to develop archers, it is necessary to find a suitable wood. As for oak and teak, these trees prefer a warmer climate. His territory is too northern. Whether it is oak or teak, it will be long in the north. Freeze to death in winter.
Of course, if Su Lun has enough money, he can also buy it directly from the system mall. Since the establishment of the blacksmith shop, various weapons have been sold in the system mall, but the price of the weapons here is too expensive. One hundred and fifty kinnars for a two-handed axe.
He asked the smithy to build one for only twenty gold nars. A short bow costs 40 ginnars, and a long bow costs 100 ginnars. Su Lun was so poor that he couldn't make up a hundred gold nars. It could be said that he was now the poorest lord in the entire Florentine Kingdom. Su Lun could not afford such a price.
Although there are many things in the territory, he is still very pleased to see that the territory is the same day by day. Just this afternoon, Gene and Johnson returned to the territory with more than five hundred slaves and twenty carts of food. The return of the caravan caused the population of Surun's territory to double several times in an instant.
Sufficient population is the basis for the development of a territory. Now the number of humans in Surun's territory has reached more than 700. Although the population is still small, as long as this difficult period is passed, the territory will develop rapidly.
