It didn't take long for Li Yi to figure out Deng Shihu's division of bow and arrow levels.

The effective range of about 70 meters belongs to an ordinary bow, and if he buys it from Yangzhou, it will cost about seven or eight taels of silver.

This effective range does not mean that the bow and arrow can only shoot so far, but that after the arrow is shot so far, it still has a certain lethality.

The effective range of about 100 meters, that is, the primary bow upgraded by the gold finger, is a good bow, about seventeen or eighteen taels of silver.

The effective range of about 150 meters belongs to the high-grade bow, and such a bow is worth at least one hundred taels of silver on the market, but he can't buy a bow of this grade from the Yangzhou official.

The best bow he could buy only had an effective range of about 120 meters.

In order to let Deng Shihu judge this, Li Yi also specially upgraded a set of intermediate bows and arrows for this purpose, which was the one with an effective range of one hundred and fifty meters.

Deng Shihu looked at it over and over again, looking like he couldn't put it down and liked it very much.

Horse thieves are good at shooting, and the bow is one of their most important weapons, how can he not like it when he sees a high-quality bow?

There is no bow of this level in the entire White Horse Gang.

His bow, with an effective range, was only about one hundred and thirty-five meters, and it was obtained from a raid.

In fact, a bow is not the longer the effective range, the better, if you want to shoot far, you must use more strength, everyone's strength is different, when shooting the bow, you can't pull hard, you must be able to control it freely, so as to ensure the accuracy, and you can shoot enough arrows.

Otherwise, it doesn't make sense for you to shoot far, but your aim is insufficient, or you have no strength to shoot two or three times.

That intermediate bow, what is relatively rare is that the strength consumed when using it is about the same as that of Deng Shihu's bow with an effective range of only about 135 meters, so how can Deng Shihu not like it?

At this time, Li Yi also found that the bow he used to upgrade with the golden finger may be the reason why the design is more reasonable in all aspects, and it consumes less effort to use it.

This is also a big plus.

Originally, a person could only shoot a seventy-meter bow, but after using the goldfinger upgraded bow, it may be possible to make a hundred-meter bow.

Originally, a person could only shoot ten arrows in a row, but after using the bow upgraded by the gold finger, he could shoot fifteen arrows in a row.

This is the combat power increase.

Deng Shihu buys weapons, and it is not possible to buy unlimited quantities, different weapons, different amounts, the better the bow, the less quantity can be bought, at present, the White Horse Gang has one hundred seventy-meter bows, fifty hundred-meter bows, thirteen one-hundred-meter bows, and one hundred-thirty-five meter bow.

This is what the White Horse Gang has saved little by little over the course of five years.

"You should try to buy more 100-meter bows!"

Li Yi thought for a while and said.

At present, Deng Shihu can only buy a seventy-meter bow, a hundred-meter bow, and a one-hundred-twenty-meter bow.

Seventy-meter bow, gold finger rated as unqualified.

The 100-meter bow and the 120-meter bow are rated as beginner bows with gold fingers.

He tried it again just now, and when the 100-meter bow and the 120-meter bow were upgraded, they all consumed ten points of faith power, and all of them were upgraded to intermediate bows, only a slight difference in quality, but there was no gap in performance.

A hundred-meter bow, if Deng Shihu buys it, it will cost seventeen or eighteen taels of silver.

A 120-meter bow, if Deng Shihu buys it, it will cost about thirty-five taels of silver.

Twice the price, almost the same effect.

Li Yi naturally chose the former.

I bought it first, and when the power of his faith was sufficient, it was not too late to slowly upgrade.

Perhaps, it is not as cost-effective for him to upgrade the mid-level bow as it is to upgrade an additional mid-level hunter, but at some times, it may be able to make a big difference.

The difference between the effective range of 150 meters and the effective range of 120 meters is 30 meters, which is not a small distance.

At a critical time, it may be the distance between life and death.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Deng Shihu said respectfully.

After asking some other questions, Li Yi let Deng Shihu leave.

In short, the harvest is not small.

Let Li Yi have a better understanding of the strength of the imperial court.

It also made Li Yi's heart more urgent.

thought that their current strength was already good, and he even had a trace of complacency in his heart.

Now I know that their strength is only a drop in the bucket compared to the imperial court.

The biggest advantage may be that the imperial army needs to suppress the world, especially the five elite soldiers, each sitting on one side, will not be mobilized easily, and their enemies in the early stage are only the state soldiers of the Great Shang Dynasty.

The strength of the state soldiers is far inferior to the strength of the five elite soldiers.

Moreover, the state soldiers also need to suppress all places, except for the important battalions in each state, each county, there are only about 1,000 state soldiers to guard.

"At the beginning, what Heifeng Village faced was likely to be about 1,000 state soldiers, and then at most, it could be about 10,000 state soldiers, and finally ...... Tens of thousands of state soldiers...... No matter how much it is, it will be a very large-scale war, and I don't know when it will be! ”

Li Yi thought secretly.

"Population ......"

The next moment, Li Yi's expression was complicated.

In principle, he didn't want to get more people, and he preferred to go the elite route in comparison.

The number of people is great, and the goal of many people is big.

The fewer people there are, the fewer enemies they attract.

Now, he already knew that the strength of the imperial court was definitely not something that their Black Wind Village could resist, so the only correct thing for them to do was to let the imperial court use less strength against them every time and play tactics of adding fuel to the fire.

There are fewer people, higher quality, and they repel the enemy again and again, and by the time the enemy reacts, they have become extremely powerful.

However, it is his golden finger that allows them to develop faster and faster the number of them.

If you don't have a population, you don't know when you want to develop.

"Wait...... I don't want to make myself look too targeted, doesn't the enemy want to? ”

Suddenly, Li Yi's heart moved.

What I am doing now is a matter of rebellion and self-reliance.

It's really too big, is the local county official responsible? Are local governors responsible?

So...... It's not a last resort, and they definitely won't report it too much!

Thinking of this, Li Yi breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

In this case, there is still room for maneuver in this matter.

"Speaking of which, the Qinglong Village ......"

Li Yi's eyes flickered slightly.

But at this time, he suddenly thought of what he saw in Qinglong Village, and began to think about it, did Qinglong Village also think the same?

It is rumored that there are only 3,000 people in Qinglong Village, maybe they just don't want to make themselves appear too targeted?

Otherwise, a bandit village that has been inherited for a hundred years is said to be very powerful decades ago, even if it is scattered, after so many years, there should not be only such a small number of people.

Where did the others go? Left? Eliminated? For the support staff? Does the logistics staff count as a number of people?

The last time he saw the thieves in Qinglongzhai, they were at least beginner bandits, and many of them were intermediate bandits...... It's a lot like going the elite route.

Even, the strength of Qinglongzhai is very similar to the situation of the five elite soldiers of the Great Shang Dynasty described by Deng Shihu.
