Chapter 642 Temperament
"The creative ability of your craftsmen from the Southern Dynasties and the Northern Wei Dynasty is amazing."
Xifeng Yingshan couldn't help but feel a little depressed.
It is one thing to have excellent refining materials, and it is another thing to be able to turn them into ingenious ordnance.
Compared with the skilled craftsmen of the Southern Dynasties, the craftsmen of Dangxiang were as naive 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 to Dangxiang?" But these two Dangxiang royal clans quickly discovered the key points.
"My original idea was about 1,500 people." Lin Yi said the truth, "Even if there are a little more now, it shouldn't be more than 2,000 people."
"So little?"
Although the result was vaguely guessed from the number of these weapons, hearing Lin Yi's answer with his own ears still made the two Dangxiang royal tribes feel uneasy for a long time.
These weapons are indeed very unique and powerful, but any weapons are used by humans after all. The number is too small, so they often fail to show their momentum when the army is facing each other and often collapse before the battle.
Moreover, it was not a secret that the Tie Ce Army recruited people from the prisons of the Southern Dynasties before. They used repeated offenders to fight death row prisoners, which have been used throughout the dynasties, but there were no ones who used repeated offenders to fight death row prisoners in one go.
For ordinary soldiers, the most important thing is courage, but most prisoners, even those who have killed people, are often scared to death when they see the enemy's momentum when they arrive on the battlefield. In the final analysis, it is a momentary impulse to kill people, which is completely different from the fighting among thousands of troops on the battlefield.
If it were another general, Xifeng Yingshan and Xifeng Yingqi would have raised questions long ago, but thinking that Lin Yi was the one who left more than 100,000 Northern Wei troops helpless with the three thousand Tie Ce army, they still held such questions in their stomachs and decided to see the true body of this Tie Ce army.
"General Lin, how long will it take for your Tie Ce army to get here?" Xifeng Yingshan was not an impatient person, but the more majestic the plan, the ambition to quickly climb to the peak of power gradually turned into a wildfire that burned wildfire in his body, and never stopped for a moment.
He felt that the faster everything was, the better.
Faced with his question, Bai Yuelu smiled and asked, "Don't you know better than us when the Tie Ce Army will arrive?"
Xifeng Yingshan and Xifeng Yingqi suddenly turned red and were extremely embarrassed.
At this time, the two people remembered that they had deliberately cut off some bridges on the way through the Tie Ce Army. According to their original plan, it would take at least several days for the Tie Ce 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 sent someone over. They know that I will deal with you first. The old suspicion array on your road before will be useless."
Lin Yi's predictions were not wrong.
Early the next morning, when these Dangxiang people were doing nothing to watch the salt making process of the salt households here on the salt fields, a large amount of smoke and dust appeared in the wilderness in the distance.
An army from afar gradually appeared in the sight of these Dangxiang people.
The vast majority of people in this army's clothes are not an exaggeration to describe them as ragged clothes.
Those serious criminals who were recruited by the Tie Ce Army from prison did not change their clothes along the way. After so long marching, it is easy to imagine what the clothes these people looked like.
But these Dangxiang people looked at these people who became clearer and clearer in their sight, and their shock and confusion became stronger and stronger.
Logically speaking, when these large groups of people in disarray walked over, they should connect these people with refugees and beggars at the first time. However, for some reason, these people have a temperament that they cannot understand. They themselves can be sure of it. Even if they didn't know that these people were Tie Ce Army before, they would think that this was an army, not a refugee.
"General Lin, I feel that your Tie Ce Army is really different from the ordinary army." Xi Feng Yingshan stood beside Lin Yi, frowned and said to Lin Yi. He was afraid that Lin Yi would misunderstand, and then said: "It's not that it means being in disheveled, but that your Tie Ce Army... The momentum of these people seems to be different from that of ordinary elite troops, and it seems to have an inexplicable sense of evil spirit."
"To be honest, I'm also curious about what kind of surprises these people can bring to me. I handed over all the training of soldiers to Wei Guanxing and the Jinwu Cavalrymen. I don't know what methods they taught along the way." Lin Yi smiled. For some reason, he looked at these people and felt inexplicably satisfied. "It's just that there is an old saying in the Southern Dynasty that a soldier can bring out a kind of sergeant of a soldier."
"Golden Crown Cavalry, of course we know it's amazing." Both Dangxiang royal clans nodded solemnly.
But they didn't fully understand what Lin Yi said.
Among this Tie Ce army, there are many people who survived the Battle of Zhongli, and these people are the true souls of this Tie Ce army.
The courage of ordinary elite troops is a world of difference compared to those of them.
There are golden dots of stars and dots of this iron army.
The Dangxiang soldiers who stood in many salt fields looked at the golden colors that became clearer and clearer in their eyes, and more and more awe appeared on their faces.
The Northern Wei cavalry had had some dealings with the Dangxiang people. They were very clear about the degree of the elite cavalry of the Northern Wei, but they also knew that any cavalry of the Northern Wei could not be at all compared to the legendary Golden Crow cavalry of the Southern Dynasty.
"General Lin, I think your Tie Ce army will sooner or later become the same legend as the Golden Crow Cavalry of the Chen family."
Xifeng Yingshan looked at Tie Cejun who had finally begun to enter the Red Salt Cave area along the hovering mountain path and said solemnly.
These words are free and sincere.
He looked at these Tie Ce troops seriously, took a deep breath, and then said softly: "General Lin, I finally understand why your Tie Ce troops look incomprehensible from a distance... I finally realized that our Xiang royal family is also somewhat extremely loyal to the death guards. They are not afraid of death at all, but from the bodies and eyes of you Tie Ce soldiers, what I see is not only fearless death, but even a kind of courage to despise death."
