Arrows are cheap, and players spend their own money. It is impossible to wash the ground with a wave of arrows before attacking like NPCs do. For players, bows and arrows can only be used at critical moments. This thing
It's still too expensive.
After coming out of the blacksmith shop, Zeng Yi ran directly to the Jinyiwei Yamen. The war was about to break out. The Jinyiwei Yamen was already busy. When Zhou Yi saw Huantian and others, the four of them were busy analyzing and sorting out various intelligence.
"You're back!"
"how's it going?"
"According to the news you sent back the day after tomorrow, we analyzed a lot of intelligence and can basically confirm that they are indeed going to launch an attack the day after tomorrow! At present, all the major legions on the front line are ready!"
"How is the situation in the Western Region?"
Zeng Yi frowned, "The major forces in the Western Region have united. If they can stop the Persian army, let's give it a 50-50 shot."
After discussing the situation in various places, Zeng Yi talked about arrows, "In the Jianghu, lay disciples of various sects can already make arrows. Do you all know?"
To Zeng Yi's surprise, everyone in Shaantian nodded, "I know! Without the permission of the imperial court, it is impossible for Jianghu to obtain the arrow drawings!"
"So, is it allowed by the imperial court?"
Shaantian nodded, "This is also the result of the discussion of the important ministers of the imperial court! The lay disciples of various sects in the rivers and lakes have already mastered bows and arrows, and banning them will no longer help. After such a long period of observation, the imperial court also discovered that the disciples of various sects have bows and arrows.
The threat from the imperial court is not as great as imagined! In addition, the upcoming war will require a large number of bows and arrows, so the imperial court lifted the ban on arrow production!"
Only then did Zeng Yi know that the imperial court had already estimated the risks of opening up arrow production. The reason for this was the war. The war was about to break out. It was an unprecedented war. The consumption of such a war was astronomical, especially
Although the imperial court has stockpiled a lot of bows and arrows, it will not be enough if the war continues.
Although the manufacturing capacity of the imperial court itself is very powerful, it is still somewhat unable to supply such a huge war. After thinking about it, the big guys in the imperial court think of so many foundries in the folk world. If these people are mobilized to make bows and arrows,
, the court no longer has to worry about the shortage of bows and arrows.
Of course, the imperial court was also concerned about the proliferation of bows and arrows, so they conducted an investigation in advance. At that time, Jinyiwei all had important tasks, so the matter was handed over to Liumen and Dongchang. Through their investigation, it was determined that the players had control over the production technology.
The impact was not big, so the ban was directly opened.
In fact, the court does not need to be so careful. What they are worried about is that Jianghu is too powerful and there will be unrest, which will affect the rule of the court. But let alone controlling bows and arrows, even if the players control artillery, they will not have the idea of overthrowing the court.
In the eyes of players, the Central Plains Court is equivalent to the official government. Without that player power, they will seek death and challenge the official. Moreover, the player guild focuses on interests, and going against the official will not do them any good. Even if the player strength is already strong in the future,
They don't take the imperial court seriously at all, and no one will rebel. Everyone knows that the official only needs an update to improve the strength of the imperial court, and the rebellious players will be finished.
It was also from Jin Yiwei Zeng Yi that he learned that the bows and arrows made by players could actually be sold to the court. Although the price was not high, there was still a profit. After learning about these things, Zeng Yi hurriedly returned to the Western Regions again.
After returning to the Western Regions, Zeng Yi happened to see Jingfeng and others experimenting with bows and arrows. When he saw Zeng Yi, he quickly said, "Come on! You, a master of archery, come and see how the arrows we made ourselves look like."
!" They all knew that Zeng Yi's Yuanmen halberd and archery skills were at the level of a unique skill. It was not an exaggeration to call him a master of archery.
"You made it so quickly?"
"After hearing the news, I immediately tried to make some. Come and try it!"
Zeng Yi was not polite, took out the dragon-snake bow, picked up an arrow, and shot it! With a bang, Zeng Yi shot the target directly.
"How about it?"
Zeng Yi pondered for a moment, picked up an arrow, looked at it carefully for a while, and said: "How should I put it? If it is based on war requirements, it is already very good. But if it is based on archery skills, it is not up to standard!"
"How do you say that?" Several people looked at Zeng Yi with some confusion.
"To put it simply, if used on a large scale and covered with arrows, there is absolutely no problem with such arrows. But if we use them ourselves and pursue the art of archery that kills with one hit, these arrows are not qualified!"
Zeng Yi said this, and several people understood that it was just like bullets. If it was only used by ordinary soldiers, ordinary bullets would be enough, but if it was a sniper duel, then bullets with very high accuracy would be needed.
Jingfeng naturally understands that no matter how cheap arrows are, players cannot use bows and arrows like NPCs. For NPCs, bows and arrows are just ordinary rifles and bullets, but for players, bows and arrows are sniper rifles and special bullets.
"Then what do you have? Do you have any suggestions for improvement?" Jingfeng asked immediately, knowing that the players were not qualified to use such arrows.
"I'm not familiar with forging. I heard something from a hammer. It's mainly for forging arrows. If you want an arrow with uniform force and high precision, you must forge it repeatedly! In addition to casting, it's a matter of type! Arrows are different, and their functions are focused on.
Different, you can get some more types just in case you need them."
Arrowheads, also known as arrowheads, are mostly made of iron, with sharp heads and plump bases. There are several main styles. Thin dagger style, similar to the front of a dagger, with a ridge in the middle, lobes on both sides, and a blade on the outer edge.
It gathers forward to form a front and backward to form a barb. The middle spine extends downward to form a collar that connects to the arrow shaft.
Triangular type, this type of arrowhead is in the shape of a long strip, with three edges, a sharp edge on the top, and a collar on the bottom. There is also a conical type, which has a short head and a light body, with a sharp top and a rounded bottom, resembling a cone.
Different shapes naturally focus on different functions. Some are specialized for killing, some are specialized for breaking armor, and there is even a flat-headed arrow specially used for practicing archery!
"You can ask your people to seize the time and make a batch. They can be used in ambushes and practice your Qingqi's riding and archery skills! Only with the riding and archery skills can the power of Qingqi be fully unleashed!" Hua Qianyue
Hearing this, Xia nodded immediately.
Originally, arrows were too expensive, and the light cavalry team in their guild was reluctant to use bows and arrows too much. As a result, the cavalry archery was never very good. Now they can make their own arrows. Although they cannot equip them in large quantities, it is satisfactory for this light cavalry.
