Chapter 41: Black Clouds Crush the City and Destroy the City (3)
Even if you are as strong as a professional soldier, the strong bow is not so easy to use.
On the corpses of longbowmen excavated in the British Peninsula of Earth, it can even be seen that their spines are abnormally bent due to long-term pressure and the effects of special postures.
But in this different world, the physical condition of people is also different from the previous life of a certain baron who has crossed over, whether it is the barbaric Karui people or the AIDS people of the civilized kingdom, they are all stronger than a few colored people of the earth.
Normally.
If you want to talk about the difficulty of using a bow and arrows, of course, you have to look at the bow of several stones, and the stronger the bowstring, the more difficult it is to tighten the bowstring.
In the Tang Dynasty, the 1/1.2 stone compound recurve bow commonly used in the four systems of bows used by the Tang army was an example.
If you use this bow to practice arrows, and you can shoot left and right, a professional archer can shoot two or three hundred times a day, but if you fight, you have to reduce it by at least half.
If it is on the battlefield, plus the march and array and other physical strength consumption.
A wave of efficient and accurate shooting, an hour will shoot 15-20 arrows, if you fight for a day, even if you don't die, a whole battle to defeat fifty or sixty will be up to the sky
Because it consumes the muscle strength of one side of the arm, an archer may need to rest for a long time when he fires 20-40 arrows at a time.
The limit of a day is no more than 100 arrows (which is actually impossible to reach), the key is that archery is too tiring, and many novice archers will even be too nervous for the first time on the battlefield, and suddenly overexert their muscles, resulting in a short period of time unable to continue firing the bow.
Lu Dawei directly gathered all the professional hunters in his territory, and asked them to exchange their hunting bows for 1.5 stone military longbows in stock, just by taking advantage of the annual agricultural training camp, with a little cooperation and test firing for a few days, they can skillfully shoot at medium-sized creatures at a medium distance - such as a fixed target target of the size of an orc.
Moreover, even the ordinary hunters in Lu David's territory could shoot more than 120 attacks a day that were effectively aimed and close to full bow power.
Causes.
This is a world of high martial arts with extraordinary powers.
Even the physical fitness of those ordinary hunters in the territory, including the endurance of several kilometers to chase prey, 100-meter sprint speed, bow and arrow accuracy, javelin throwing distance and other data, have reached the level of first-class athletes on the earth on average.
The hunters had to deal with more than just ordinary beasts in the mountains.
The nearby Forbidden Spirit Mountain Range is Kaohsiung, with a depth of 600~900 kilometers, traversing the center of the entire continent, reaching the seaside in the west and south directions, and there are countless gods and ghosts in the mountains.
Not to mention the various magical beasts that like to attack human women and children with delicate flesh and possess innate spells......
If adult men have no way to defend their villages, then the villages and farmsteads on the border – presumably often tell horror stories of entire villages suddenly disappearing.
Ordinary hunters who do not have extraordinary strength will also encounter all kinds of fierce and large beasts in the mountains while hunting.
Those as big as ostriches, But the fierce beak bird, the grasshopper-like frog with a vertical toothed mouth, the camouflage mimic viper that can be found everywhere in every plane, the pin-backed behemoth that shoots bone spurs, the mad vulture that actively attacks living creatures, the bat-like and capable of fizzing dizzying shriekers, the long-haired bonecrober the size of a bear with claws so hard that it can smash human skulls, the fallen claws that want to be koalas but are agile but have sharp claws, and a dragon lizard that is nearly three to five meters long with an amazing ability to bounce and spew elemental spells, named Velociraptor, in fact, is also a carnivorous wurm that is suspected to be a close relative of the ancient velociraptor of the earth.
Compared to the above list of the most common deaths of humans in the wild, or the top of the list of humans being turned into beast droppings.
Giant canine wolfdog hybrids, spotted snow leopards and certain unknown species that can occasionally be domesticated by humans, mostly living in the high-altitude snowfields of the Forbidden Mountains, Lynxmon, Mountain King Cerberus, The Frost Wolf, the giant rat that claims to carry the most diseases, the giant basilisk that is not highly venomous, but can also devour children, and is good at stabbing the lone wanderer through each other with its tail spike, and the bat-faced spirit ape, which is very territorial but keeps a great curiosity about the human community, and often observes and imitates humans, but is extremely territorial, these are all cute creatures that are almost harmless to human cities.
Not to mention, there are all kinds of careerists and necromancers who want to take revenge on society, creating a hybrid army of zombies, resentful spirits, fallen spirits, bone undead, ghouls, and undead fusion monsters to attack human settlements, violent elemental creatures who are accidentally teleported to wander outside the wilderness of the main plane because of the sudden creation of dimensional gaps, and those who are said to be affected by the spider god and secretly weave webs- A large number of strange and strangely shaped intelligent zergs have opened up their minds under the favor of Atlach-Nacha, as well as demon-blooded goatmen who breed like cockroaches in all the main planes and continents, these are all unfriendly beings to humans. (PS: The sheep man is not comparable to the domesticated two-legged sheep of human beings, this sheep is as ferocious as the barbaric tribal centaur)
The bottomless abyss, those ...... Uh, it should be said that it is a demon mongrel~~~
There are so many types of it that it can be written as a long incest epic, and even the Abyss Lord may not be able to count the types of demons under his control. They also lined up again as if their heads had been squeezed by a door, desperately trying to shuttle from various spatial gaps to the main plane to devour the delicious blood food of humans;
The coastal waters of all continents are the territory of the Kraken, and many civilians often confuse the Fishman and the Kraken, but in fact the difference between them is as great as the gap between a gorilla and a modern human, and the Kraken is also called a mermaid because of its somewhat humanoid upper body, and there are many mainland fools who imagine having a dewy relationship with the beautiful Kraken.
But don't say that the genitals of other people's wet eggs are completely difficult to match with your humans, and in fact, unless you use a change spell to transform into a human form, the kraken is actually covered with scales and the honor of a cracked fish scale face - which can scare some otaku sissies directly into lifelong impotence.
In all continental coastal areas, including Wraeclast.
For fishermen, the Siren is a symbol of ominous, cursed.
In the stories of the old people.
They refer to the Sirens who deliberately lure fishermen into the fog and reef areas with a spell to run aground, and then easily prey on those who go out to sea to fish, as the Hakken - an ominous monster that sings the song of the No Return.
