Lin Yi returned the salute seriously and said: "My Tiece Army is passing by here, you have also heard that I am going to Qitong County. Our Tiece Army is not equipped with sufficient armaments. I still need your help, shopkeeper, in purchasing ordnance."
"
Fu Linglong raised her body, her heart still beating violently. The more certain he was that the rumors were true, the more honored he felt.
He took a deep breath, then calmed down and asked: "General Lin is too polite. If you hadn't stopped the Northern Wei army in Zhongli, it's unknown whether we could still do business here. What do you want?"
Ordnance, no matter how much you ask, as long as our Chengtian can do it, there will never be any secrets."
"I want to prepare a thousand infantry and five hundred fine cavalry. The fine cavalry is similar to the Golden Crow Cavalry. The infantry is based on the Black Thorn Army of the previous dynasty. How do you think we can equip it with weapons?" Lin Yi looked at him and said softly as if he was asking for advice seriously.
Got this sentence.
Although his expression was modest and respectful, Fu Linglong was instantly shocked when he heard it.
"this…"
He looked at Lin Yi, puzzled and a little surprised, and he hesitated to speak.
Lin Yi said calmly: "But it doesn't matter."
"I just don't quite understand. The Black Assassin Army of the previous dynasty was the personal guard army under the Fourth Prince of the previous dynasty. It was not an ordinary elite infantry army. That army was actually assassins. They acted in groups of several people. If
My knowledge is not bad, the Black Thorn Army only has more than 500 people in total. I naturally understand the Golden Crow Cavalry. Some of the armaments of the Golden Crow Cavalry were obtained by the Chen family from my company. These armaments are not of ordinary standard..." Although Lin Yi said
It's okay to say it, but when it comes to this, Fu Linglong is still a little hesitant and doesn't know how to word it.
"Not only are the prices of these unusual ordnance astonishingly high, but they are also extremely difficult to deal with when there are too many of them." Chen Baoyuan looked at him hesitating, but did not want to waste time. He glanced at Lin Yi and said, "You have to do what you want.
Let’s make it clear once and for all, otherwise I’m afraid it won’t work after talking for a long time.”
"You should have guessed that I was ordered to go to Qitong County to deal with Dangxiang. Although the Dangxiang army is incomparable to the Northern Wei army, according to current knowledge, there are nearly 200,000 troops on the border. I can mobilize
The total number of troops in Qitong County is only 30,000, and only a handful of them are frontier troops. Even if I am now named the Shenwei Zhenxi General, I have enough power to recruit a large number of troops in nearby states and counties, but no matter how I recruit, if I want to
It is impossible to compete with Party Xiang in terms of army numbers."
Lin Yi said unhurriedly: "Moreover, there are many firearms in Dangxiang. My heavy armor has no advantage in front of firearms, so I don't want to recruit troops at all. I only need surprise soldiers who are as fast as powerful horse thieves, so I go to Dangxiang."
I only need these 1,500 people to command the army."
"You only want 1,500 people? How to guard the gate and guard the fortress?" Fu Linglong fully understood what Lin Yi meant at this time, but he blurted out these words subconsciously.
This is really contrary to his usual understanding.
It is impossible for any general of ten or more squads in the imperial court to command tens of thousands of troops, and it is impossible for any general of seven or more squads to command only fifteen hundred people.
"It's not enough to guard the gate, but I don't want to guard it at all."
Lin Yi glanced at him and said: "When I arrive, I will lead my army directly into Dangxiang territory. I will only attack but not defend. If we want to fight, we will only fight within Dangxiang territory."
Fu Linglong was stunned.
The word absurdity filled his mind.
A mere 1,500 people entered Dangxiang territory, using offense as defense. They faced the pursuit and encirclement of 200,000 Dangxiang troops. Even though the Dangxiang army was much weaker than the armies of the Northern Wei and Southern Dynasties, this was impossible.
However, in the next moment, the word Zhongli clearly appeared in his mind.
There was a strange feeling in his heart, and another voice in his mind kept reminding him that the general in front of him led a mere few thousand people, and he was almost a miscellaneous army. The most elite of the Northern Wei Dynasty
The hundreds of thousands of troops were helpless, and at that time, the general in front of him had to guard Zhongli and could not leave.
If calculated based on this, even if there are only 1,500 people, if they can roam around and fight at will, there is nothing impossible about facing the party's 200,000 troops.
Comparing the two, the combat strength of Dangxiang's 200,000 troops is definitely not as good as the two Northern Wei armies of Xi Ruyu and Yang Dian.
"I understand what you mean."
He took deep breaths repeatedly, then looked at Lin Yi and said solemnly: "Do you want your army, whether it is infantry or cavalry, to be like the strongest horse thieves, coming and going like lightning, making it impossible for people to easily
To intercept, the necessary equipment is not to need heavy armor at all, it must be light and easy, it must be able to move within a large range every day, and it must be able to fight for a long time and be able to move to another battle continuously.”
"That's it."
Lin Yi smiled and said: "It's like fighting here today, but tomorrow I'll be hundreds of miles away, fighting against the enemy again."
"The landform of Dangxiang is completely different from that of our Southern Dynasties. The borders of Dangxiang are cold plateau areas. Only three months of the year are relatively warm, and the rest are bitterly cold. Your tiece army will pass by at this time. When you get there, Dangxiang will
I'm afraid it's already starting to snow at the border."
Fu Linglong calmed down and frowned deeply. It was just that he didn't think it was impossible, but he was already thinking about what kind of equipment he would need. He had to be extremely cautious in case he and Lin Yi made any mistakes.
, it may be a disaster for Tie Cejun.
"We are already prepared for concealment and warm clothes. We also have marching maps and the current distribution of the party's troops." Lin Yi looked at him and continued: "You only need to help me think about which ordnance to match.
, not only allows me to quickly switch to battle, but also ensures that our troops will have an advantage in weapons and less damage when facing any elite army. As for the price, you don’t need to consider it.”
"The price is only the next best thing. Even if Tie Cejun takes it on credit, it doesn't matter when Dangxiang comes back after a great victory. The ordnance equipped with 1,500 elite troops will not be enough to make our Chengtian unable to support it."
Fu Linglong narrowed his eyes slightly, and his eyes flickered violently, "I don't know how much time you will give me, General Lin. If the time is enough, I would like to spend another half an hour to find more people to make a careful calculation.
What I think is definitely not as thorough as many people who are familiar with the situation in Dangxiang area. And to be honest with the general, some of our businesses also have dealings with Dangxiang. Some people in our several companies also have some knowledge of Dangxiang’s armament configuration. Let them
If you come here to decide, you will be more targeted and better targeted."
"rest assured."
Chen Baoyuan smiled faintly, "Since I brought him here, it's impossible not to know this. He and I have enough time here, so you can rest assured and make arrangements. But don't leak too much information."
Fu Linglong looked solemn and said, "That's natural."
