After a while, the two sides finally completed the deal, and the centaurs were very satisfied with the iron armor provided by Zhenbei Fort. Many people directly put those iron armors on their bodies.

After the transaction was completed, Suren's team became even stronger, with three hundred horses, but fortunately, these horses were all already trained war horses, and it only took a few people to control these horses to keep up.

The time to go back was much faster than when he came, the twenty carriages were basically empty, and when he returned to Zhenbei Fort, he arranged these war horses, and Su Lun took a centaur longbow and prepared to try it.

The centaur longbow is longer than the average human bow and arrow, about one meter and a half, in fact, this kind of bow and arrow is not suitable for cavalry, the bow body is too long, it is very inconvenient to ride on a horse, the length of the human bow is rarely more than one meter, and it is also the special body type of the centaur to use this longbow.

The difference between the range of ordinary riding bows and this longbow is close to one-third or even more, Suren bought these centaur longbows to make infantry bows, from this point it can be seen that the centaur light cavalry can be said to be a complete abuse of human light cavalry, they can fly kites to play human cavalry to death, this is a racial advantage.

The Centaur Longbow is made of purple shirt wood throughout, and the bow body is very smooth, because it is a weapon used by centaurs, and it takes a lot of effort to open the bow, and it is impossible for people without professional training to control it.

[Centaur longbow: hard bow, using purple shirt wood as the main material, this is an excellent centaur longbow, it took three years for centaur craftsmen to make, with far more toughness and range than ordinary bows and arrows, but you need good strength to use it, long range, great power. Range +1, Armor Piercing +1, Strength Required: 10]

Coming to the special shooting range, Su Lun stood at a distance of about one hundred and twenty meters from the target, then reached out and picked up an arrow, stretched out his bow and set up an arrow, aimed at the target and shot it.

'Knock'

A sharp arrow instantly misses the bull's-eye.

Su Lun didn't stop, grabbed the arrow stuck in the ground, and shot continuously at the target in front of him.

'Knock knock!'

Five sharp arrows flew out in a row, with more than a hundred bows and arrows, Su Lun's level of playing with bows and arrows was already very high, this kind of continuous arrow was not difficult for him, from the first arrow to the fifth arrow, it only took a few seconds in between, and the five sharp arrows hit the center of the target in just one breath.

Su Lun did not stop, grabbed the arrows and shot continuously, there were thirty arrows in a pot of arrows, Su Lun shot them all in only half a minute, and all the arrows on the row of arrow targets in the distance were right in the bull's-eye.

After some testing, these centaur longbows had a quarter to a fifth more effective range than the best human rift bows, and a third of the range of riding bows.

The Centaur longbow can reach a distance of up to three hundred and thirty meters, and the effective range can reach two hundred meters, and the best range is about one hundred and twenty meters.

The bow and arrows here in Zhenbei Fort are only better than Suren's iron-tired bow that can beat this centaur longbow, and the longbow used by the spirit of war has the same range as the centaur longbow.

This kind of bow and arrow can easily penetrate ordinary armor at a distance of one hundred and twenty meters, and only the kind of armor made of stainless steel can withstand this kind of bow and arrow.

Of course, the disadvantages of the centaur longbow are also obvious, and the force required to pull these longbows is very large, and ordinary people cannot use them at all, and can only master them after some professional training.

The new archers in the barracks are not able to use this bow and arrow, and they can only use it when they upgrade to the longbowman, and if they want to use it flexibly, they need to upgrade to the elite longbowman. However, even then, the number of shots with this bow and arrow will be much reduced.

It may be difficult for others to choose enough archers, but for Suren who has a plug-in, it just takes a little more time.

Recruited outcasts will become qualified recruits after three to six months of training in the barracks, in fact, if these outcasts are not physically weak before, their recruit training will be completed in three months, and then they will follow the barbarian guards to patrol the territory, and after a few more battles, they will soon be promoted to longbowmen or elite longbowmen.

After understanding the power of these centaur longbows, Suren had a clear understanding of the combat power of those centaurs, if Suren encountered a group of centaur longbowmen when he first opened up his territory, there was a 90% chance that the barbarian warriors under his command would be completely wiped out.

These centaurs ran faster than the barbarians, and their bows and arrows were accurate at long ranges, and as long as the barbarians were not given a chance to get close, the barbarians were a group of targets.

If there are 1,000 elite longbowmen in Suren's territory, even if there are ten times as many enemies to attack the city, these longbowmen alone can wipe out the enemy.

After knowing the strength of the archer army, Suren had decided to continue to expand the archer ranks. Of course, if you want to form a large number of archer troops, you need to increase the population base enough, although Zhenbei Fort has found many ways to increase the population, but so far the population is still less than 3,000 people.

As time passed, the Northland Heath had entered winter, and when I woke up in the morning, I could already see a patch of hoarfrost on the roof. When I went out, the exhalation was already a white fog, and the winter in Zhenbeibao was more than a month earlier than in the southern provinces.

After this month, it will start to snow here in the Northland Wasteland, and by that time, the heavy snow will close the roads, and the trade routes between Fort Zhenbei and Carthusia will be interrupted, so Suren wants to increase the population quickly this year, and there is only one month left, and then there will be a three-month winter.

Not long ago, in the trade of the centaur tribe, Suren obtained three hundred catties of gold, which can be minted into a gold nar for at least 30,000 pieces, if the black heart is mixed with some other metals, it is not a problem to mint ten thousand more, after all, even the official gold nar of the Kingdom of Florence is mixed with other metals.

He was going to let Jean take advantage of the last month left to go to Carthusian City to buy slaves in large quantities. This time, in addition to buying serfs, Suren is also preparing to buy slaves with various skills.

Arranged for a team of twenty Spirits of War and a team of barbarian warriors, Suren asked the Monolith to follow Jean to Carthusian City with fifteen thousand jinnars.

After arranging the caravan, Suren began to think about the affairs of those drow elves, seeing that it was already winter, which drow elves had not yet experienced the cold winter of the northern wasteland, he wanted to subdue these drow elves, this was a good opportunity.
