Chapter 660: Natural Opposites

It took more than an hour, and Lin Yi finally had a general understanding of the existing "family background" of Xifeng Hongqi.

To his surprise, the composition of the army of the fine seal Hongqi was almost the same as that of the Southern Dynasty or the Northern Wei Dynasty, except for the Zhenyuan heavy armored army that Lin Yi wanted to return to the command of the fine seal Yingshan, the main army of the fine seal Hongqi was actually more than 10,000 cavalry and more than 20,000 ordinary heavy armored infantry troops, as well as a large number of ordnance such as siege crossbows.

On the contrary, the unique ordnance equipped in the army of Xifeng Yingshan, as well as the firearms that the party members are good at, account for a negligible or even negligible proportion in the army of Xifeng Hongqi.

"You Southern Koreans also have many limitations in your understanding of our party's items. ”

In the face of Lin Yi's incomprehension, Xifeng Hongqi had an expression that he had expected a long time ago, and he explained with a smile: "The vast majority of the magnates in the Southern Dynasty feel that the most feared thing in our party's army is firearms, in fact, in the party, only the Tuoba clan and the Xiaba clan have spent a lot of effort on firearms, and in the past ten years, the focus of the Tuoba clan has shifted, and only the Xiaba clan is dedicated to the study of firearms. ”

"In fact, the vast majority of firearms are like poisonous snakes. Xi Feng Hongqi poured a glass of wine for Lin Yi, and continued, "Poisonous snakes always make people tremble, but in fact, it is a limited threat to people, and the number of people bitten to death by poisonous snakes is probably not as many as those who accidentally suffer from wind and cold and die." Firearms have enormous limitations in many ways. ”

"What limitations?"

Lin Yi held the emerald green glass wine glass and looked at the wine in it curiously.

The magnates of the Southern and Northern Wei dynasties also liked to drink, but the fine wine of the Southern and Northern Wei dynasties was made from grains, most of which were spicy spirits, but the party people liked to use fruits to make wine, and the wine made liked to add honey and mare's milk or goat's milk.

The wine in the glass he was holding at this time was said to have been made from a certain kind of mountain pear, and now it was added with goat's milk and honey, giving it a rich sweet aroma.

This kind of expensive glass cup is from the Western Regions, listen to the fine Feng Yingshan said, this kind of glass cup before the Xiaba and the Western Regions before the large-scale trade, in the party is not at all touchable, but in recent years some beads made by the Xiaba people have even become the currency of the Western Regions, although these glass cups are very expensive, but in the party royal family has become popular, there has been a certain number.

These are naturally not seen in the books of the Southern Dynasties, although Lin Yi has read a lot of books, but if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, of course he wouldn't have been able to imagine the true style of the party, so he also felt more and more that the Southern Dynasties' understanding of these originally relatively closed dynasties had great limitations.

"The manufacturing process and storage and transportation of firearms are very dangerous, and even if many firearms are completed, they are explosives that burn when they encounter fire, which is no better than grain and grass, even if the grain and grass are raided by the enemy, even if they are set on fire, they will be burned for a long time before they are burned clean, but if the warehouse where the firearms are stacked is attacked by the enemy, it will be a disaster in an instant. And even if it is not deliberately sabotaged by the enemy, the slightest negligence on the part of one's own people can easily lead to evil consequences. As far as I know, even among the Shaba people, many of their workshops disappear every year due to their negligence. ”

He drank the milk wine slowly, and said meaningfully: "The use of firearms in the battle formation also has great limitations, most firearms cannot be used in the rain, and in some places with particularly high humidity, they cannot be burned at all. Except for a few made extremely

Delicate firearms, many of which are carried around, also need to be careful at all times. Of course, the Xiaba people have also been constantly improving in recent years, and compared with the accidents in the manufacturing and transportation process, after being equipped with sergeants, there have been many fewer accidents, but I always think that under the limitations of the current level of craftsmen, the main body of the army of the Southern Dynasty and the Northern Wei Dynasty is a better choice, and it is not possible to obtain the same value by spending a lot of money on the manufacture and hoarding of firearms. ”

After a pause, he looked at Lin Yi, who was listening very seriously, and continued, "First of all, the accumulated firearms are easy to be burned by a fire, and secondly, even if you are equipped with a large number of firearms with great lethality, as long as the opposing army knows you very well, they don't need much time, and only need to spend a little money, they can make many weapons that are enough to restrain these firearms." It can make the firearms you have worked so hard to accumulate lose their value in an instant. ”

After saying these words, he gave an order to a general, and at the same time motioned Lin Yi to look out the window.

I only heard a few shouts in the dark city, and then a chaotic footsteps sounded intensively, with Lin Yi's eyesight, he only vaguely saw that many soldiers seemed to have launched some chariot-type ordnance, but in the next moment, the sound of sneering water sounded continuously, and I saw a column of crystal water shooting out from the alleyway, spraying straight into the sky, with a height of six or seven zhang.

The water column broke up at the very high point and fell like a heavy rain, hitting the ground crackling.

Lin Yi's eyes flashed, and he just understood the meaning of the words before the fine seal Hongqi, and the fine seal Hongqi had already continued, "These are waterwheels, which are restructured through the fire-fighting water dragon cars of your Southern Dynasty, if this special waterwheel is condescending and sprayed forward, it is enough to spray out more than ten zhang, ordinary firearms are useless, if some of these waterwheels cannot extinguish firearms, we also have the rest of the dust firefighting means." ”

"The cost of this water hook is low, and the cost of some firearms is worth such a water hose, not to mention that these firearms can only be used once. Xifeng Hongqi glanced at the Xiaba wing on the side with a slight irony, "It's not difficult to make this kind of water dragon car, and the craftsmen in our city can learn a little, it's not as dangerous as making firearms, I'm afraid that only the Xiaba people themselves feel that the first place in the firearms party is indispensable, and it seems that my Xifeng clan must ally with the Xiaba clan." ”

At this time, the place where Xifeng Hongqi and Lin Yi had a good conversation was in the meeting hall where he and Xia Ba Yi talked before, which was one of the highest halls in the entire city, but Xia Ba Yi was a guest before, and now he is a prisoner.

I am afraid that the party members did not treat prisoners of war very favorably, as can be seen from the body of Xia Bayi, who is now being held on one side to await trial.

Xia Bayi's entire body was confined to an iron torture frame, not only was his whole body true yuan emptied by some means, but also obviously taking some kind of medicine, not only the feeling of being soft all over, but even his eyes were a little blurred.

Even so, Shaba Yi had a torture instrument made of camel bones in his mouth, so that he couldn't even make any sound when he wasn't allowed to speak.

"I can accept your claim, and since most of your territory is surrounded by flat land, it would be a good choice if you were to fight in this area, and you would spend most of your financial resources on heavy armor and heavy cavalry. Lin Yi thought for a moment and said.

The fine seal Hongqi looked like he had met his bosom friend, and his eyes also lit up

got up, nodded at the dark tundra wasteland in the distance, and said: " The surrounding tundra wasteland, and then the Laneige Plain, as well as some areas where my Xifeng clan mainly produces grain, although it seems to be a plain, but there are small rivers all over it, and the land is uneven, fast light cavalry is useless at all, and it cannot charge quickly, but these heavy cavalry and heavy armor that originally advanced steadily and did not rely on speed are the most suitable for fighting on it, plus a large number of heavy ordnance, it is not that I boast about it, unless it is those royal alliances, even if the army of the Tuoba clan wants to defeat me in these areas alone, it is impossible。 ”

"This is also limited by the level of craftsmanship manufacturing, in the previous dynasty when the dynasty, the true yuan heavy armor was not valued, many defects, but only a few decades, the manufacturing technology of the true yuan heavy armor in the Northern Wei and Southern Dynasties has made amazing progress, and soon has become a decisive force in the Northern Wei Dynasty and our army. Lin Yi first saw the party's firearms was in Meishan, he thought of the Southern Dynasty Zhenyuan heavy armored sergeant who was killed by the party's firearms, and he remembered it vividly, he said very pertinently: "The Xiaba people devote themselves to the study of firearms, if they develop some firearms that are extremely safe to use in terms of storage and transportation, they may be able to multiply the strength of an army, and now many firearms, I think they were originally used as surprise soldiers, and they were shot out unexpectedly, and the lethality is also amazing." ”

"Eat meat and don't raise your own pigs. ”

Fine Feng Hongqi was not blindly flattering, he looked at Lin Yi and smiled, and said: " The Shaba people have been merchants from the beginning, they know best how to do business with people, but they are not the ruling royal family, so they have a set of goods that make people happy, but in other aspects it is very general, it should not be a royal family is like me, for me, dangerous and groundbreaking things let them do well, we just need to always pay attention, know what they can make, we can use it, as for their current firearms, I still evaluate so, at least in this era, it is still impossible for the heavily armed Xiaba to defeat the elite army of the Southern Dynasty and the Northern Wei Dynasty。 If it's okay to give them another few decades, then it's good to use their stuff after a few decades. ”

Lin Yi couldn't help but shake his head.

He was a little unbearable to endure the innate superiority of the Dangxiang royal family, but this is the case, even if the Xiaba clan has accumulated amazing strength in the party over the years, but for the royal family of the party, which controls most of the territory, they are still craftsmen in the eyes of these royal clans, and they can only be enslaved.

This is probably also the point where the Shaba people themselves know that they feel the most humiliated and angry, so the contradictions between the Shaba people and these royal families cannot be reconciled in a fundamental sense.

Even in the conversation with the previous fine seal Yingshan, Lin Yi could deeply feel this.

Because even Xifeng Yingshan does not have much real power in the Xifeng clan, but when he talks about the Xiaba clan, he is like a powerful person in Jiankang City talking about relatives in the countryside.

"It's a lot of fun for the wings. ”

Luo Jilian's voice rang out at this time.

She looked with interest at the pile of things piled up not far from Shaba Wing.

At the top of the pile were the two metal wings that had been removed from Shaba's body.
