The impact of the price reduction on arrows on players' guilds' views on war is not yet clear, but it has had a great impact on the way players fight now.
In the past, bows and arrows were too expensive, and few people could afford them. Even if they could afford to use them, they couldn't afford to practice them. A sharp arrow cost ten taels of silver. Even if it could be reused, it would only be used a few times. After a few times, it would be useless.
.
The practice of archery requires a lot of exercise, which requires a huge number of arrows, otherwise the archery will not be able to exert its supposed power.
Even players who are good at it usually find it difficult to support them and practice archery to a very advanced level. Therefore, usually when players fight, they rush forward with swords drawn and fight hard.
But after the price of bows and arrows dropped, the situation changed. With the price of bows and arrows falling, many players can afford bows and arrows. Nowadays, if there is a conflict, players will basically pick up a bow and shoot a few arrows first.
It doesn't matter whether you can hit the opponent or not. Arrows are cheaper anyway. If you shoot a few arrows, it will be better if you hit the target. If you miss, it's better to frighten the opponent.
The major guilds have also gathered together to organize their own archer troops. Players who are good at archery and have a good level of archery are selected from among the guild members. In addition, the guild has also approved a large number of arrows to provide these players.
Players use it to upgrade their archery skills.
The players of the Blood Guard have also begun to focus on practicing archery. In fact, the players of the Blood Guard have learned archery very early. These guys followed Zeng Yi and traveled all over the country. There were not only one or two grassland fights, but everyone basically knew one or two kinds of arrows.
Technique. And the level is obviously higher than that of ordinary players.
It's just that in the game, these guys are all poor, and they don't have the spare money to practice archery. Otherwise, the level will be higher, but now that the price of arrows has been reduced, these guys are training in all the major guilds.
My own archers also began to practice in order to be able to take over their jobs better in the future.
Zeng Yi and the other four were too lazy to practice. Zeng Yi's archery skills were at the level of unique skills. Zhou Yi had already mastered the art of shooting halberds and archery at the gate. Zhou Yi had practiced it for so long.
Although the three bosses are not as good as Zeng Yi, their archery skills are not bad, at least they are at the top of the game. Naturally, the four of them are too lazy to practice hard at this time. However, the four of them are not idle either.
Anticipating the popularity of bows and arrows, the four of them got together to develop new arrows.
The simplest one is poison quenching. The poison developed by Lao Si can be quenched on the arrows. It can cause damage to the enemy. As long as they are not a master above the peak of the first-class late stage, no one will be easy to be hit.
In addition to quenching the poison, the four of them were also very creative and thought about putting thunderbolt fire bombs on arrows. However, if they wanted to make thunderbolt rockets, it was not something that the four of them could accomplish.
So Zeng Yi pulled up the hammer and came to study together. Modifying arrows really didn't mean anything to the hammer. The hammer even directly asked Zeng Yi, "You asked me to come here just to let a craftsman god.
Can you create an arrow with a space in the arrowhead?"
The Thunderbolt Fire Bomb actually made the four of them very uncomfortable. At first, they only thought about the power. As a result, the arrows they produced were replaced by a round sphere. The sphere was the Thunderbolt Fire Bomb, but they ignored the top-heavy problem.
As a result, this kind of arrow has a range of only ten meters.
For Qinggong masters, this range is only a matter of breaths. This kind of thunder rocket is too useless, so the four of them modified the anti-attack, and finally came up with one that looked similar to ordinary arrows.
There is no big difference between the arrows. Only the arrow position is thickened, and it contains thunderbolt fire bombs.
Although the power of the explosion was a little small, but coupled with the damage caused by the arrows, the power was not small. Zeng Yi quickly asked Iron Hammer's two apprentices to make a batch of these thunder and fire bombs.
...
"The lethality of this arrow after quenching the poison is very abnormal. It shouldn't be a problem to sell it for fifty or sixty taels of silver, right?" Zeng Yi looked at the three bosses and said righteously.
"It's reasonable!" The three of them also spoke righteously but agreed.
"This Thunderbolt Rocket has its own explosive effect. After it hits, the explosion will definitely cause the enemy's wounds to be horrific. It's reasonable to sell it for a hundred and eighty percent, right?"
The three bosses nodded immediately, "Very reasonable!"
...
The meaning of war between the major guilds is getting stronger and stronger. From the Central Plains to the Western Regions and to Persia, the major guilds are actively hoarding supplies. Especially after the imperial court sells a large amount of supplies, the major guilds are in major cities and strategic locations.
, hoarding a large amount of supplies.
The players quickly came up with the idea of the special effect arrows produced by Zeng Yi's blacksmith shop. Of course, ordinary players would not buy these expensive consumables, but the major guilds were different. This kind of special arrows were simply
It is prepared for those sharpshooters who can hit the enemy with a hundred steps. If the sharpshooters have those special arrows, they can better attack the enemy's masters.
The major guilds quickly purchased all the special arrows from Zeng Yi's blacksmith shop, including ordinary armor-piercing arrows, cracking arrows, twenty to thirty taels of silver, and a poison-quenching arrow, five or six.
Ten taels of silver, and thunderbolts and rockets, one hundred taels.
Throwing aside the cost, the four of them made a huge profit, and Zeng Yi still took the lion's share.
In addition to these, the arms business between Zeng Yi and the Silver Empire was also in full swing, especially the three-bow bed crossbow, which was snapped up as soon as it came out.
When major guilds rush to buy them back, they will immediately place them on strategic locations and major cities to enhance the defense systems of these cities.
The city defense system left by the Persians is actually very powerful, but through the battle with the Persians, players have also summarized some tactics for attacking these defense systems.
In order to better defend other guilds, major guilds have no choice but to use three-bow bed crossbows to enhance the defense system of their own cities.
In addition to these preparations, the major guilds are also actively recruiting players. Whether they are individual players, players from other small and medium-sized guilds, or even newbies who have just joined the game, the major guilds are not sparing any of them.
The major guilds have fought several wars, and they know very well that such large-scale wars rely on military strength. As long as there are enough troops, there will be an advantage.
The advantages of the top ten guilds are very obvious. Most of the new players who join the guilds have joined the top ten guilds. Among them, the Fengyun Tianxia guild recruits the most people. Although the strength of Tianxiang Guild is not much different from that of Fengyun Tianxia, because of the pure female players
The guild, in terms of attracting new players, is not as good as Fengyun Tianxia.
