It took more than an hour to finally understand Feng Hongqi's existing "family background".

What surprised him was that the army composition of the Southern Dynasties or the Northern Wei Dynasty was almost the same as that of the army composition of the Zhenyuan heavy armored army ruled by Lin Yi, the main army of the Seifeng Hongqi was actually more than 10,000 heavy cavalry and more than 20,000 ordinary heavy armored infantry, as well as a large number of weapons such as siege crossbows.

On the contrary, the unique ordnances equipped by the Yingshan army of Xifeng and the firearms that the Dangxiang people were good at occupying very little or even negligible in the Hongqi army of Xifeng.

"You Southern Dynasties also have many limitations in their understanding of our Dangxiang."

Faced with Lin Yi's confusion, Xiaofeng Hongqi had a long-awaited expression. He explained with a smile: "The vast majority of the powerful people in the Southern Dynasty felt that the most feared thing among our Party Xiang army was the firearms. In fact, in Dangxiang, only the Tuoba clan and the Xiaba clan have spent a lot of effort on the firearms. Moreover, in the past ten years, the center of gravity of the Tuoba clan has shifted, and only the Xiaba clan is dedicated to researching firearms."

"In fact, most firearms are like poisonous snakes." Xifeng Hongqi poured a glass of wine to Lin Yi, and continued, "Viral snakes are always terrifying, but in fact, their threat to people is limited. People who are bitten by poisonous snakes may not be as good as those who die from accidental cold. Firearms have huge limitations in many aspects."

“What limitations?”

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

The powerful and powerful people in the Southern Dynasties and Northern Wei also liked to drink, but the fine wines in the Southern Dynasties and Northern Wei were brewed with grains, and most of them were spicy and spicy wines. However, the Dangxiang people liked to use fruit to make wine, and the wine they made like to add honey, horse milk or goat milk.

The wine in the wine glass he was holding at this time was said to be brewed with some kind of soybean, and now it has added goat milk and honey, exuding a strong sweet fragrance.

This expensive glass cup comes from the Western Regions. According to Feng Yingshan, this glass cup was not accessible to Dangxiang before the large-scale trade between the Xiaba people and the Western Regions countries. However, after some beads made by the Xiaba people in recent years even became currencies for the Western Regions countries, these glass cups were very expensive, but they had become popular among the Dangxiang royal family and had a certain number.

These are naturally invisible in the books of the Southern Dynasties. Although Lin Yi read a lot of books, if he had not seen them with his own eyes, he would certainly not be able to imagine Dangxiang's true style. Therefore, he increasingly felt that the Southern Dynasties had great limitations in their understanding of these originally relatively closed dynasties.

"The manufacturing process and storage and transportation of firearms are very dangerous. Even if many firearms are completed, they are explosive products that burn when they encounter fire. This is not like food and grass. Even if the food and grass are raided by the enemy, it will take a long time to burn it. However, if the warehouse where the firearms are piled up is attacked by the enemy, it will be a disaster in an instant. And even if the enemy is not deliberately destroying it, it will easily lead to bad consequences if one is a slight negligence. As far as I know, even the Xiaba tribe, many workshops disappear into their negligence every year."

Xifeng Hongqi slowly drank milk wine and said meaningfully: "There are great limitations in the use of firearms in the battle formation. Most firearms cannot be used in the rain and cannot be ignited in some places with particularly high humidity. In addition to a few extremely exquisitely made firearms, many firearms are carried with them, and they also need to be careful at all times. Of course, the Xiaba people have been constantly improving over the years. Compared with accidents in manufacturing and transportation, there are many accidents that occur after being equipped with sergeants. However, I always believe that under the current limitations of the craftsmanship, the military main body of the Southern Dynasty and the Northern Wei Dynasty is a better choice. Spending a lot of money on the manufacturing and hoarding of firearms will not obtain equal value."

After a pause, he looked at Lin Yi very seriously and continued, "First of all, the accumulated firearms are easily burned by a fire. Secondly, even if you are equipped with a large number of firearms with great lethality, as long as the opponent's army knows you very well, they don't need much time, they only need to spend a little money to create many weapons that can restrain these firearms. They can make the firearms you have accumulated hard to lose value in an instant."

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

Only a few sounds of call sounded in the dark city, and then a chaotic footsteps were heard. With Lin Yi's eyesight, he could only vaguely see that many soldiers seemed to have pushed out some chariot-like weapons, but in the next moment, the sound of hissing water sounded and saw crystal clear water columns shooting out from the tunnel and spraying into the sky, reaching a height of six or seven feet.

The water column collapsed at the extremely high point and fell down like a heavy rain, hitting the ground crackling.

Lin Yi's eyes flashed. He had just understood the meaning of the previous words of Xifeng Hongqi. Xifeng Hongqi had already continued, "These are water trucks, which were modified through your fire-fighting water dragon trucks in the Southern Dynasties. If this kind of special water truck is condescending and spraying forward, it will be enough to spray out more than ten feet. When ordinary firearms are fired, they will be useless. If there are some firearms that cannot be extinguished by such water trucks, we also have other methods of extinguishing the fire."

"This water dragon car is cheap, and the cost of some firearms is equivalent to that of such a water dragon car, not to mention that these firearms can only be used once." Xifeng Hongqi looked at Xiabayi on the side with a sarcastic look, "It is not difficult to manufacture this water dragon car. Our craftsmen in the city will learn it for a little while. It is not as dangerous as making firearms. I am afraid that only the Xiaba people think that the firearms are the first and most arrogant. It seems that I, Xifeng, must have an alliance with Xiaba people."

At this time, the place where Xifeng Hongqi and Lin Yi had a happy conversation was in the conference hall where he had talked to Xia Bayi before. It was one of the highest terrain in the entire city. However, Xia Bayi was a guest before, but now he is a prisoner.

The Dangxiang people probably did not treat prisoners of war very favorably, which can be seen from the fact that Shabayi, who is now being detained on the side awaiting trial.

Xia Bayi's entire body was confined to an iron punishment frame. Not only was his whole body emptying by some means, but he also obviously took some medicine. Not only did he feel soft all over, but his eyes were a little confused.

Even so, a piece of torture instrument made of camel bones was forced into Xia Bayi's mouth. In this way, he could not even make any sound when he was not allowed to speak.

"I can accept your statement, and most of your territory is flat. If you fight in this area, you will use your main financial resources on the heavy armored heavy cavalry, which is an excellent choice." Lin Yi thought for a while and said.

Xifeng Hongqi looked like he met a soulmate, and his eyes lit up. He pointed to the black and broken frozen wasteland in the distance, saying: "The surrounding frozen wasteland, to the Lanzhi Plain, and some areas where I, Xifeng, mainly produces grain. Although it looks like a plain, there are small rivers and rivers everywhere and the land is uneven. The fast light cavalry is useless at all and cannot charge quickly. However, these heavy cavalry and heavy armor that were originally steadily advanced and did not rely on speed are the most suitable for fighting on this. In addition, the large number of heavy weapons are not self-proclaimed. Unless it is the royal coalition forces, it is impossible for even the Tuoba army to defeat me alone in these areas."

"This is also limited by the level of craftsmen's manufacturing. When the previous dynasty was launched, the Zhenyuan Heavy Armor was not valued and had many defects. However, in just a few decades, the manufacturing technology of the Zhenyuan Heavy Armor made amazing progress in the Northern Wei and Southern Dynasties, and soon became the decisive force in the Northern Wei and our army." Lin Yi first saw Dangxiang's firearms in Meishan. When he thought of the Southern Dynasty Zhenyuan Heavy Armor soldiers who were killed by Dangxiang's firearms, he still remembered them vividly. He said very pertinently: "The Xiaba tribe devoted himself to researching firearms. If some firearms that are extremely storage and transportation are developed, they may be able to double the strength of an army. Moreover, I think many firearms now were originally used as surprise weapons. If they were to attack them unexpectedly, their lethality was also amazing."

"If you want to eat meat, don't raise pigs by yourself."

Xifeng Hongqi did not just flatter him. He looked at Lin Yi and smiled, saying, "The Xiaba people have been merchants since the beginning. What they know best is to do business with people, but they are not the ruled royal family, so they have a set of things that make people move, but in other aspects, they are very ordinary. They should not be a royal family. They think like me. For me, dangerous and groundbreaking things are for them to do well. We just need to always pay attention to what they can make and we can use them. As for their current firearms, I still comment on this. At least in this era, the fully armed Xiaba people still cannot defeat the elite troops of the Southern Dynasty and the Northern Wei Dynasty. If you can give them more decades, then you can use their things in decades."

Lin Yi couldn't help but shake his head.

He could not bear the natural sense of superiority of the Dangxiang royal family, but this is the case. Even though the Xiaba people have accumulated amazing strength in Dangxiang over the years, for Dangxiang and other royal families who control most of the territory, they are still the craftsmen in the eyes of these royal families and the objects of enslavement.

This is probably the point where the Xiaba tribe itself knows most and feels the most humiliating and anger, so the contradiction between the Xiaba tribe and these royal tribes is fundamentally irreconcilable.

Even during the conversation with Feng Yingshan before, Lin Yi could feel this deeply.

Because even Xifeng Yingshan is not very powerful in the Xifeng clan, when he talks about the Xiaba clan, it feels like the powerful people in Jiankang City talking about relatives from the countryside.

"This pair of wings is very interesting."

Luo Jilian's voice sounded at this time.

She looked at the pile of things not far away from Xia Bayi with interest.
