"Are you looking for me?"

On the walls of Luoshui City, Chen Kun, who seemed bored and was about to fall asleep while basking in the sun, opened his eyes, looked at Lin Yi who appeared in front of him, and then smiled.

Lin Yi sat down opposite Shen Kun very simply, "We need to talk."

In just a few days, Chen Kun had fully seen Lin Yi's way of pulling out a layer of hair on his body. He could not help laughing as he heard Lin Yi's words.

"Of course, the Tie Ce Army is not strong enough."

Lin Yi looked at Chen Kun seriously and said, "Take Jin Yan, the elite army of the Northern Wei Dynasty, as an example, every Northern Wei Jinyan army sergeant is equipped with a pair of mechanical arm crossbows. This mechanical arm crossbow can be activated even when you use a knife and a sword. The rope of the mechanical arm crossbow is wrapped with a copper ring on the little finger. In addition, the proportion of heavy armor is one layer. Among every ten Jinyan army sergeant, there is one heavy armor soldier, and the rest are all Jinyan light armor. There are three strong archers among every ten Jinyan army sergeant, and each Jinyan army sergeant uses a Tianqu sword. The ordinary black iron sword cannot withstand this kind of knife chop... And the Jinyan army can only be regarded as the most elite army of the Northern Wei border army. As for the top ten, almost every soldier carries various weapons and weapons that can have the ability to fight against the cultivators in the Huangya realm alone."

Chen Kun listened carefully. In addition to practicing himself, Lin Yi thought and did everything he thought and did was to improve the combat power of the Tie Ce Army. Of course, these words did not surprise him at this time.

"The key is, what do you think."

Chen Kun curled his smile and looked at Lin Yi seriously and asked, "The key is, what kind of army do you want the Tie Ce Army to become?"

If you are all smart people, it is easy to get straight to the point.

"There are too few people in three thousand. According to the experience of the border army, there is no need to fight if it is more than one to five." Lin Yi pondered: "The main force of the border army of the Northern Wei Dynasty usually walks 50,000 or 60,000 people... Even if hundreds of thousands of troops are in the forefront, the local battles are in the confrontation of tens of thousands to more than 100,000, so the size of the Tie Ce army I think is at least about 15,000. If it can reach about 15,000, it will be possible to resist most of the Northern Wei border army."

Chen Kun had never followed the army before, but he had dealt with many armies after all, especially those border troops that could truly represent the combat power of the dynasty.

So he could understand what Lin Yi said very well.

When the number of troops varies too much, even the most powerful elite army is useless, because the number of armies and punishments that thousands of troops can possess cannot be compared with the army of tens of thousands.

The suppression of the number of weapons, even the simplest spear throwing and archery, is unsolvable.

Not to mention that the border troops built by tens of thousands of people are naturally equipped with real-life heavy armor, heavy cavalry, large-scale ordnance, etc.

"Ten fifteen thousand people, even if you reach the level of the Northern Wei Jinyan Army you mentioned, you may not be able to raise them until the war between the Northern Wei and our dynasty ends." Chen Kun looked at Lin Yi and shook his head, "Even the consumption of armor, arrows, etc. can't afford to raise even a Ningzhou."

"How do you raise horse gangs and horse thieves?" Lin Yi asked.

Chen Kun was stunned.

Many times, there is indeed not much difference between horse gangs and horse thieves. In a sense, many horse gangs that shuttle through the borders are restrained by some horse thieves. In recent years, the Northern Wei and Southern Dynasties were very strong, and the army was binding on all prefectures and counties. Many large groups of horse thieves were killed, but those who were not killed were either incorporated into private troops by local clans, or they no longer dared to attract the attention of the army and dared not rob, but instead transported huge profitable goods and turned into horse angels.

In the late years of the previous dynasty, some horse gangs and horse thieves even had tens of thousands of horse thieves, and those horse thieves who knew how to restrain themselves were the kings on the border.

"Of course, horse thieves rely on robbery and use war to support the war. This method cannot be used on the Tie Ce Army. Your Tie Ce Army is not strong first. If you do not expect it, support the border army and encounter all the border troops of the Northern Wei Dynasty. I am afraid that one or two major battles will be over, and it is impossible to fight more and more." Chen Kun shook his head and said these words first.

Lin Yi nodded, "Unless every battle is a big victory, it is best to wipe out the opponent's arms, and the opponent's weapons will be taken into the bag, and the more you fight, it is possible for the big horse thieves to eat the little horse thieves, but it is unlikely between the border troops."

"And the horse thieves are completely free to come and go, but your Tie Ce army is not yours alone. You must also listen to the military orders above. You can't let the Tie Ce army go wherever you want to pick up soft eggs." Chen Kun smiled faintly, "As for horse gangs to raise people, they depend on trade. For example, the tea stems that you people in Jiankang City don't even drink, mixed with shoddy crude tea, and transported to Dangxiang, is very popular. The price is higher than the fine tea in Jiankang City, which is almost a You should know all these, but you may not know some of the most profitable. The most profitable things are often prohibited, such as some spiritual medicines produced by the Southern Dynasties and some refined black iron and steel produced. These are not included in the trade list. According to the laws of the Southern Dynasties, no one can transport them from outside the Northern Wei Dynasty. These are illegal, and horse gangs can do them because most of the horse gangs walk outside the border of our dynasty, but the clans and army of the Southern Dynasties cannot do them."

Lin Yi understood the meaning of Chen Kun's words.

The fire cannot be kept in the way. Even some clans dare not do such things because there is always a possibility that people will find out. Once they are discovered, an imperial edict will come down, they will be unable to take it.

But Lin Yi didn't think that was originally not these.

Moreover, the horse gangs make money on the road. Even if they transport those things that violate the ban, they can get amazing benefits every time, but they come too slowly and most of them are consumed on the road and the people in the horse gangs.

"The horse gang and the horse thieves are actually fighting to support the war, and the most important thing is that they do not need to listen to the dispatch like the Tie Ce Army. They can be extremely free to go wherever they want. Under the premise that the Tie Ce Army cannot walk freely and cannot choose their opponents freely, and fight whichever they want, my idea is impossible. It is difficult to improve the strength of these three thousand Tie Ce Army, let alone the Tie Ce Army of about 15,000 can be comparable to the most elite border army." Lin Yi thought for a while and said, "So the most important thing is that I must first help my Tie Ce Army win such power."

Chen Kun was stunned for a moment and said sincerely: "You really dare to think about it."

"Only if you can come up with a solution, there is a possibility of realization." Lin Yi looked at Chen Kun and said, "Secondly, I thought of Dangxiang's firearm. I have seen Dangxiang's Chiluo Maru on the battlefield."

Chen Kun's expression was slightly condensed. He was not stunned this time. He vaguely guessed Lin Yi's meaning.

"If you go according to the normal army, then I think you are right. Even if I am the governor of a state, I will not be able to raise the kind of iron army I want. And even if they are heavy cavalry and heavy armor, powerful arrow troops and a sufficient number of cultivators... It is difficult to predict the outcome when facing the same elite army. Moreover, the most elite army of my Southern Dynasties and Northern Wei are all supported by the emperor. After the battle, there are still, but we don't."

Lin Yi looked at Chen Kun and then whispered: "So it's surprisingly similar to some practitioners. I thought not to use normal means to make the Tie Ce army look like a normal army. You were familiar with Dangxiang and Tuyuhun, and even further away places. I thought if you could get me some unique weapons that were not familiar with in the Southern Dynasties or the Northern Wei."
