Chapter 642 Temperament
"The creative ability of your craftsmen of the Southern and Northern Wei dynasties is truly breathtaking. β
Fine Feng Yingshan couldn't help but be a little frustrated.
It's one thing to have excellent refining materials, it's another thing to be able to turn them into ingenious ordnance.
Compared with the skilled craftsmen of the Southern Dynasty, the craftsmen of the party were as naΓ―ve as children playing with mud, and many of the methods could only be described as primitive.
"General Lin, how many people do you want to bring into the party?" But these two party items and the royal family quickly discovered the key point.
"My original idea was about fifteen hundred. Lin Yi said truthfully, "Even if there is a little more now, it should not exceed two thousand." β
"So little?"
Although the result was faintly guessed from the number of these weapons, hearing Lin Yi's answer with his own ears still made the two party royal families worry for a long time.
These ordnance is indeed very unique and powerful, but any ordnance is used by people after all, and the number is too small, and it often does not show its momentum when the army fights, and it is often defeated before the battle.
Moreover, it is not a secret that the Tie Ce Army recruited people from the several prisons of the Southern Dynasty before, and it used felons and death row prisoners to fight, which has been done in all dynasties, but it has not been used for felons and death row prisoners to fight wars, but it has not been once.
Marching and fighting, for ordinary sergeants, is the most important thing is courage, but the vast majority of prisoners, even death row prisoners who have killed people, are often frightened when they see the momentum of the enemy army directly on the battlefield. In the final analysis, it is a momentary impulse to kill, which is completely different from the kind of fighting among thousands of troops and horses on the battlefield.
If it were another general, I am afraid that Xifeng Yingshan and Xifeng Yingqi would have raised questions a long time ago, but thinking that Lin Yi was a person who made hundreds of thousands of Northern Wei troops helpless with three thousand Tiece troops, the two of them still held such questions in their stomachs, and decided to see the true body of this Tiece army.
"General Lin, how long will it take for your Tie Ce army to get here?" Xi Feng Yingshan is not an impatient person, but the more majestic the plan, the more ambitious he can quickly climb to the pinnacle of power, which gradually turns into a wildfire that burns in his body and does not stop for a moment.
He thinks everything is as fast as possible.
Faced with his question, Bai Yuelu smiled and asked rhetorically, "When the Tie Ce Army will arrive, shouldn't you know better than us?"
Fine Seal Yingshan and Fine Seal Yingqi suddenly turned red and were extremely embarrassed.
At this time, the two of them remembered that they had deliberately cut off some bridges on the way of the Tie Ce Army, and according to their original plan, it would take at least a few days for the Tie Ce Army to reach here.
"But now it's going to be a lot sooner than you expected. β
Lin Yi glanced at the two of them, smiled, and said, "I have already sent people over, they know that I will deal with you first, and the old suspicion array on your road before will have no effect." β
Lin Yi's prediction was not wrong.
In the early morning of the next day, when the group of party members were idly watching the salt-making process of the salt farmers here on the salt pans, a large puff of smoke and dust appeared in the wilderness in the distance.
An army from afar gradually appeared in the sight of these party members.
The vast majority of the men in this army are not overly dressed in rags.
The felons who had been drafted from prison by the Tiece Army did not change their clothes along the way, and after such a long march, you can imagine what the clothes on these people looked like.
But these party members looked at these people who were becoming clearer and clearer in their sight, and the shock and incomprehension in their hearts became more and more intense.
It stands to reason that these raged large groups of people should have immediately associated these people with homeless people and beggars, but for some reason, these people have a temperament that they can't understand, and they themselves can be sure that even if they didn't know that these people were Tiece Army, they would feel that this was an army, not a group of outcasts.
"General Lin, I feel that your Tiece Army really seems to be different from ordinary armies. Standing beside Lin Yi, he frowned and said to Lin Yi, he was afraid that Lin Yi would misunderstand, and then said: "It's not that you are disheveled, but your iron army... The momentum of these people seems to be different from that of ordinary elite troops, and there seems to be an inexplicable feeling of evil. β
"To be honest, I'm curious to see what kind of surprises these people can bring me. I handed over all the training to Wei Guanxing and those people who rode the Golden Crow, and I don't know what methods they taught along the way. Lin Yi smiled, for some reason, he looked at these people, and his heart was inexplicably a little satisfied, "It's just that we have an old saying in the Southern Dynasty, if a soldier is a bear, he will be a nest of bears, what kind of people can bring out what kind of sergeants." β
"Golden Crow Rider, of course we know how powerful it is. The two royal clans nodded solemnly.
It's just that they didn't fully understand the meaning of Lin Yi's words.
Among this Iron Army, there are many people who survived the Battle of Zhongli, and these people are the true soul of this Iron Army.
The bravery of ordinary elite armies is worlds apart from them.
There are dots of gold dotted in this iron army.
The party warriors who were standing on many salt pans looked at the golden color that was becoming clearer and clearer in their eyes, and their faces became more and more awe-inspiring.
The cavalry of the Northern Wei Dynasty had some dealings with the Dangxiang people, and they were very clear about the strength of the elite cavalry of the Northern Wei Dynasty, but they also knew that any cavalry army of the Northern Wei Dynasty could not be on the stage at all compared with the legendary Golden Crow cavalry of the Southern Dynasty.
"General Lin, I think that your iron army will sooner or later become a legend like the Chen family's golden crow cavalry. β
Xi Feng Yingshan looked at the Tie Ce Army who finally began to enter the Red Salt Cave area along the circling mountain road, and said with a solemn face.
These words are free to say.
He looked at these Tiece troops seriously, took a deep breath, and said softly in an incomprehensible voice: "General Lin, I finally understand why your Tiece army looks like an incomprehensible momentum from a distance....I finally see that our party and royal family also have some extremely loyal dead soldiers, they are not afraid of death at all, but I see from the bodies and eyes of you soldiers of the Tiece Army not only fearless death, but even a kind of defiance of death. β
"My father often said that the strength of the spirit and the will is always beyond the strength of the body, and the strength of the body is always too weak for this world. Lin Yi laughed with emotion, and then said softly seriously: "After they arrive, you let your sergeants have a fight with them, and I also want to see what kind of changes they have made now." β
