"The creative abilities of your craftsmen in the Southern Dynasty and Northern Wei Dynasty are really amazing."
Xi Fengyingshan couldn't help but feel a little depressed.
It's one thing to have excellent weapons-refining materials, but it's another thing to be able to turn them into ingenious weapons.
Compared with the skilled craftsmen of the Southern Dynasties, the craftsmen of Dangxiang were as childish as children playing with mud, and many of their methods could only be described as primitive.
"General Lin, how many people do you want to bring into Dangxiang?" But the two Dangxiang royal families quickly discovered the key point.
"My original idea was that there would be about 1,500 people." Lin Yi said truthfully, "Now even if it is slightly more, it should not exceed 2,000 people."
"So few?"
Although the results were vaguely guessed from the number of these ordnances, hearing Lin Yi's answer in person still made the two party members feel uneasy for a long time.
These ordnance are indeed very unique and powerful, but after all, any ordnance is for human use. If the number is too small, it will often lose its momentum when the army confronts it, and it will often collapse before the battle.
Moreover, it is not a secret that Tiece Army recruited people from several prisons in the Southern Dynasties. It used felons and death row prisoners to fight, which has happened in all dynasties. However, using felons and death row prisoners to fight has a very good effect.
Not even once.
When marching and fighting, for ordinary sergeants, the most important thing is courage. However, the vast majority of prisoners, even those on death row who have killed people, are often frightened to the point of losing their courage when they see the enemy's momentum on the battlefield.
.In the final analysis, killing is a momentary impulse, which is completely different from the kind of fighting among thousands of troops on the battlefield.
If it had been another general, I'm afraid Xi Feng Yingshan and Xi Feng Yingqi would have raised questions, but considering that Lin Yi was a figure who made hundreds of thousands of Northern Wei troops helpless with only three thousand iron troops, the two of them still
He kept all such questions in his stomach and decided to talk about it after seeing the true form of this iron strategy army.
"General Lin, how long will it take for your Iron Ce Army to get here?" Xi Feng Yingshan is not an impatient person, but the more grand the plan, the ambition to quickly climb to the peak of power gradually becomes
A prairie fire burned fiercely in his body, never stopping for a moment.
He feels that the sooner everything happens, the better.
Faced with his question, Bai Yuelu smiled and asked, "When will Tie Cejun arrive? Shouldn't you know better than us?"
Xifeng Yingshan and Xifeng Yingqi suddenly turned red and felt extremely embarrassed.
Only then did the two men remember that they had deliberately cut off some bridges on the way of the Tiece Army. According to their original plan, it would take at least several days for the Tiece Army to reach here.
"But now it will be much faster than you expected."
Lin Yi glanced at the two of them, smiled, and said: "I have already sent people there. They know that I will deal with you first, and the suspicion array you used on the road will be useless."
Lin Yi's prediction was correct.
In the early morning of the next day, when this group of party members were idle in the salt field watching the salt production process of the salt households here, a large plume of smoke appeared in the wilderness in the distance.
An army coming from afar gradually appeared in the sight of these party members.
The clothes of the vast majority of the people in this army can not be overstated to describe them as ragged.
Those felons recruited from prison by the Tiece Army did not change their clothes along the way. After marching for such a long time, you can imagine what the clothes on these people looked like.
But when these party members looked at these people who were becoming clearer and clearer in their sight, the shock and confusion in their hearts became more and more intense.
Logically speaking, when these large groups of disheveled people walked over, they should immediately associate these people with refugees and beggars. However, for some reason, these people had a temperament that they could not understand.
They can be sure that even if they didn't know that these people were Tie Cejun before, they would still think that they were an army and not a group of refugees.
"General Lin, I feel that your Tiece Army is really different from the general army." Xi Feng Yingshan stood next to Lin Yi and frowned at Lin Yi. He was afraid that Lin Yi would misunderstand, and then said
: "It's not that they are disheveled, but that your iron army...the aura of these people seems to be different from that of ordinary elite troops. They seem to have an inexplicable feeling of evil spirit."
"To be honest, I'm also very curious about what kind of surprises these people can bring me. I have left all the military training to Wei Guanxing and the people of the Golden Crow Cavalry. I don't know what methods they have taught me along the way."
Lin Yi smiled. For some reason, when he looked at these people, he felt inexplicably satisfied in his heart. "It's just that we have an old saying in the Southern Dynasties, one soldier is a raging soldier, and a raging group of wolves is brought into a nest. What kind of people can be brought out?"
sergeant."
"Golden Crow Cavalry, of course we know how powerful it is." The two party royals nodded solemnly.
It's just that they didn't fully understand the meaning of Lin Yi's words.
Among this Tiece army, there are many people who survived the Battle of Zhongli. These people are the real soul of this Tiece army.
Compared with the bravery of ordinary elite troops, there is a world of difference compared to people like them.
There are bits and pieces of gold dotted in this iron strategy army.
The party soldiers who were stationed on many salt fields looked at the golden color that became more and more clear in their eyes, and more and more awe appeared on their faces.
The cavalry of the Northern Wei Dynasty had some interactions with the party members. They were very clear about the power of the elite cavalry of the Northern Wei Dynasty. But they also knew that any cavalry in the Northern Wei Dynasty was simply inferior to the legendary Golden Crow Cavalry of the Southern Dynasty.
Can't get on the table.
"General Lin, I think your iron strategy army will sooner or later become as legendary as the Chen family's Golden Crow Cavalry."
Xifeng Yingshan looked at Tie Cejun who finally started to enter the red salt cave area along the winding mountain road, and said solemnly.
These words come from my heart.
He looked at these Tiece troops seriously, took a deep breath, and then softly said incomprehensibly: "General Lin, I finally understand why your Tiece army looks so incomprehensible from a distance.
The momentum...I finally saw that our Party royal family also has some extremely loyal death guards. They are not afraid of death at all. But what I see in the bodies and eyes of you, the soldiers of the Iron Army, is not only the lack of fear of death.
, even a kind of bravery that defies death."
"My father often said that the power of spirit and will always surpasses the power of the body. The power of the body is always too weak for this world." Lin Yi laughed with emotion, and then whispered seriously: "
After they arrive, ask your sergeants to have a duel with them. I also want to see what kind of changes they have made now."
