The powerful people who can climb to high positions often have the courage to make a desperate move. This time, the total number of troops invested by Xifeng Hongqi in the expedition to Yeli's territory was only 40,000, but the 40,000 troops meandering through the dense forest at this time were
Real elite in his hands.
In addition to the Zhenyuan heavy armor army assigned to the command of Xi Feng Yingshan, there are also 4,000 heavy armor infantry troops among the 40,000 troops.
These four thousand heavy armor infantry are all "Yishan Heavy Armor".
When the heavy armored infantry organized in this way appeared in front of Lin Yi and others, Lin Yi was naturally shocked, but the most shocked one was Bai Yuelu.
There are no workshops for manufacturing heavy armor in Dangxiang and Tuyuhun. All the heavy armor in the world comes from the Southern Dynasty or the Northern Wei Dynasty.
This "Yishan Heavy Armor" came from the Yiyun Workshop of the Northern Wei Dynasty.
The Northern Wei Dynasty first established its capital in Shengle. Twelve years later, it moved the capital to Pingcheng. It took another forty-one years before the Northern Wei Dynasty truly unified the north. It took another sixty-four years before the capital was moved to Luoyang and a large-scale reform was carried out to achieve today's prosperity.
.
The capital moves of the Northern Wei Dynasty were all forced actions based on various considerations. Although each move of the capital was successful, making the rule of the Northern Wei Dynasty more stable and powerful, the various assistances during each move of the capital were unimaginable.
There are violent turmoils.
After the Northern Wei Dynasty moved its capital to Pingcheng, it destroyed many powerful enemies in the north, such as Nan Yan, Bei Yan, Xiliang, Beiliang, Later Qin and many other powerful enemies. At that time, the heavy armor workshops of Nan Yan, Xiliang and other countries were also destroyed after they were destroyed.
Naturally, they all belong to the Northern Wei Dynasty.
Among them, "Yi Yun Workshop" is the most outstanding heavy armor workshop in Nanyan. At this time, Yi Yun Workshop is still one of the most important heavy armor workshops in Luoyang.
Although ordinary heavy armor is not as strictly controlled as the True Essence Heavy Armor, which represents the top combat power, it is extremely difficult to transport even dozens of such heavy armors to outside the territory at once, let alone possessing thousands of them.
.
What's more, Yishan Heavy Armor itself is the prototype of Qingyun Zhenyuan Heavy Armor in the Northern Wei Dynasty, and many of its components are even common with Qingyun Heavy Armor.
Although the Qingyun Heavy Armor does not perform well on the battlefield and has been gradually eliminated in recent years, and is no longer made new, many of the runes and components of the True Essence Heavy Armor are still classified.
Faced with the shock of Lin Yi, Bai Yuelu and others, Xifeng Hongshan smiled proudly. It turned out that these heavy armors were obtained by Yi Yun Workshop during the process of moving the capital to Luoyang.
During the process of moving the capital of the Northern Wei Dynasty to Luoyang, the interests of many powerful people were touched and rebellions continued, so the usage at that time was extremely strict. Usually it might only be a crime of imprisonment. In those years, it was probably not just beheading, but also relatives and friends.
Although Yiyun Workshop had long been returned to the Northern Wei Dynasty, there was no inventory inventory at the beginning. The owner of the workshop had selfish motives at that time, so there were actually thousands of Yishan Heavy Armors piled up in the warehouse. These Yishan Heavy Armors were stored in the warehouse.
It had been accumulated in the armor for decades, and some were secretly sold at intervals in exchange for the private profits of the workshop. This life was quite comfortable, but when the capital was moved to Luoyang, there was a problem in loading and transporting goods in such heavy armored workshops.
After an inventory, if the remaining more than 4,000 heavy armors are found out, they have been harboring them for decades, and I am afraid they will be charged with a serious crime of treason. I am afraid that it will be considered a minor crime to kill them all. Moreover, these thousands of heavy armors
Armor cannot be dumped in the Northern Wei Dynasty, otherwise if there are so many heavy armors suddenly appearing, they will definitely be traced out.
The usual golden nest has now become an extremely hot potato.
Originally, Yi Yun Workshop's idea at the time was to find a pool and sink it directly, but he was a little reluctant to let it go. In the end, Xifeng Hongqi, who had been paying attention to the heavy armors of the Southern Dynasties and Northern Wei Dynasties, got the news and took all the heavy armors.
After purchasing it, it took several years to transport it back to Dangxiang in batches.
After the Northern Wei Dynasty moved its capital to Luoyang, Yi Yun Workshop became convinced. Firstly, after the capital move was completed, the Northern Wei emperor appeased the ministers and the laws were loosened. Secondly, there would be less chance for these heavy armors to appear in party items, even if they appeared in the future.
, it can also be said that it was sold to Dangxiang in the early years of Nanyan, so this business made Xifeng Hongqi very proud. Not only was the price of this batch of heavy armor very low at that time, but the key was that it solved the urgent need of Yi Yun's workshop.
, and now he has secretly become friends with Yi Yun Workshop and has many contacts.
If some parts of the True Essence Heavy Armor he has collected are missing or damaged, many of them were found or copied by Yi Yun Workshop with the help of Yi Yun Workshop. Some parts were even sent to Yi Yun Workshop to be repaired and then shipped back.
This kind of repair of original parts does not constitute new manufacturing, and it will not appear in the manufacturing list of the Northern Wei Dynasty. It is very safe.
At that time, Yiyun Workshop secretly preserved this batch of Yishan heavy armor. The main reason is that these infantry heavy armors are very unique. Although elastic steel is not used extensively in the foot armor, spring coils are installed on the soles of the feet, and there are two chest pieces on the front and back.
The armor and back armor can be disassembled independently, and can be transported separately during normal times, and can be quickly assembled in times of war. Therefore, during emergency marches, this heavy-armored infantry can also keep up with ordinary infantry, and can respond to surprise attacks at any time.
In addition to the rare 4,000 heavily armored infantry in Dangxiang territory, the 40,000 troops of Xifeng Hongqi also included 5,000 strong archers. These 5,000 strong crossbows all used the unique strong bows of the Xifeng clan.
Light arrow.
The longbows used by these archery armies are more powerful than ordinary strong bows, but the arrows are lighter. Each time they can shoot three to five arrows at the same time, regardless of the accuracy of this shooting, each salvo
They can all be described as luxurious, because the consumption rate of arrows is also very alarming, and each arrow is even more expensive in the alpine tundra zone like Dangxiang where there is not enough good wood.
In addition, this 40,000-strong army is also equipped with three worshipers from the Divine Sense Realm and five worshipers from the Chengtian Realm who are skilled in flying swords.
These offerings are in addition to the original configuration of these armies.
Including the six original Chengtian-level practitioners in the army, the number of practitioners above the Chengtian-level in this army reached a total of eleven.
The number of practitioners in the Dangxiang army was originally smaller than that in the Southern Dynasties and Northern Wei, but based on the proportion of high-level practitioners, the Xifeng clan's army was already luxurious enough.
…
Three fine Fengshi falcons were flying over this dense forest.
Although these falcons are far inferior to the two Qingwu warriors who followed Lin Yi when fighting alone, these falcons of Dangxiang were born for war purposes and have received more stringent training in detecting enemy traces and warning.
train.
Because it is certain that the army left by the Yeli clan in the sky is no longer an elite army, coupled with the superstition of Lin Yi and the power of his own army, and there are such eagles patrolling in the sky, so marching in the wild
The sergeants and generals of the Xifeng clan in Li's territory were very relaxed.
"It's so gloomy. No wonder the Yeli clan spends so much money every year to buy the Golden Dragon."
Beside Tian Qisheng, a rough, big-faced man with a head full of fine braids and even the beard on his chin was braided into dozens of braids was riding on a black mule. With a snap, a ball of flame was fired and ignited.
A roll of tobacco was stuffed into the tobacco pot that he brought with him.
Most of the armies of the Northern Wei and Southern Dynasties were well-disciplined. Even high-ranking generals were not too arrogant in front of their subordinates. There were some military regulations that had to be followed during the march. However, the privileges of the party's dignitaries were far better than those of the Southern Dynasties and Northern Wei.
The rich and powerful are very extravagant in their daily expenses. The food and clothing of ordinary people in Dangxiang are probably much different from those in the Southern Dynasties and Northern Wei Dynasties. The needs of some serfs and herdsmen are kept at an extremely low level, a fraction of that of normal people in the Southern Dynasties.
It's just rations. But the Dangxiang dignitaries usually eat and use everything. Not only what the dignitaries of the Southern Dynasties and Northern Wei used, but also what they had. They even had rare gadgets from the Western Region countries that the Southern Dynasties and Northern Wei had no access to. The Dangxiang dignitaries grew up since childhood.
The education they received is also different. This kind of extravagant spending has a tendency of comparison among the powerful, and no one in the royal family would find it inappropriate.
Therefore, most royal families, and the dignitaries who follow these royal families, usually have some special hobbies.
The rugged man with braided hair and beard next to Tian Qisheng was Xi Feng Yingcheng, a close general of Xi Feng Hong Qi, and one of the main generals in the 40,000-strong army. He was not originally Xi Feng.
The Feng family was given the surname just because of his extraordinary bravery in battle.
The number of people who can enjoy such an honor among the Xi Feng clan can be counted on one hand in the past few decades.
The golden dragon he mentioned was the main ingredient used to treat rheumatism.
Many men in the Nori family often have thick joints, pain and are unable to move once they reach their fifties. I am afraid it is indeed because the environment they live in is too cold.
The wind passing through this forest area seems to be much colder than the outside, like a small knife constantly drilling into the close-fitting leather jacket, making these practitioners and warriors feel a biting coldness.
The brass tube firearm in Xifeng Yingcheng's hand was previously recovered from Xia Bayi's body. There is a mechanical bullet hammer at the mouth of the copper tube. If it hits the flint inside, it can ignite the match rope at the mouth of the tube.
I don’t know what kind of oil the match rope was soaked in. It was extremely easy to burn, but the flame was not violent. It was just a faint ball and could not be extinguished by the wind.
Click, click, click, Xifeng Yingcheng took two strong puffs from the tobacco pot and exhaled a puff of white smoke.
There was no sign, not even the three-headed eagle in the sky found any trace of large enemy movements, but just when the white smoke curled up from the front of Xifeng Yingcheng, there were only two or three miles of woods ahead.
In the middle, puff after puff of black mist exploded continuously.
There wasn't any flame, but there was a burning-like smell.
The black mist spread very violently, and in just a few breaths, the forest in front of them was completely shrouded in thick black mist.
The brass tube firearm slipped silently from Xifeng Yingcheng's hand.
His eyes were widened to the extreme, with a look of disbelief in them.
Countless sharp neighing sounds resounded in the black mist. It was obvious that a large number of living creatures moving at alarming speeds were shaking the forest and the air. While making the sound of breaking through the air, the thick black mist was also abnormally disordered.
