Winter goes to spring, and in a blink of an eye it is March, the sun is shining, everything is recovering, and there is infinite spring.

Now the city of conversion has been repaired, and not only has it been restored, but it is much larger than before. The reason why it was built bigger was because Guixin City was upgraded from a small county town to a "military", and the administrative level was raised by one level.

Second, there were more Song troops garrisoned, reaching 2,500 people, five times that of the previous one, and with the addition of family members, there would be 5,000 or 6,000 more people, and the previous city of conversion was simply not enough. Not to mention, the training of the 2,500 converts needed a larger school field, which occupied a large area and had to be built even larger.

Third, the trade of the Wu military industry was booming, and more and more people came to convert to do business, and the convoys that came and went one after another, transporting mainly weapons, either thunderbolts or swords.

Therefore, the city of conversion is much more prosperous today than it used to be, and the things it sells are more valuable. For example, the price of food, which used to be cheap, is now three or two times as cheap as before, which makes the people of the city of Conversion laugh so hard that their mouths cannot be closed, which they could not have imagined before.

There are many pedestrians coming and going on the street, and there are many vendors hawking, which is not necessarily inferior to Xiongzhou. It is really surprising that there are such big changes in a small county, but the real thing is right in front of you, and you have to believe it if you don't believe it.

Although the city of conversion was larger, its fortification did not decrease, but increased. Of course, in addition to the good city-building skills of the Song Dynasty, there is also Wu Ji's guidance. Wu Ji was not very good at building a city, but he said some modern ideas, which surprised the craftsmen in charge of building the city and readily agreed. Therefore, the city of conversion today is much stronger than it was before.

"Rumble!"

A thunderous sound came, and the pedestrians were shocked and looked for prestige, only to see a group of Song troops driving out.

These Song soldiers, all riding high-headed horses, full of energy, like iron towers, extremely strong, riding on horses, like moving iron towers. The marching procession was orderly, horizontal and vertical, without the slightest chaos.

"It's the Converts! It's the Converts! ”

"Our converts!"

The people on the road let out bursts of cheers, all of them had red faces, waved their arms, and rushed to greet the returning army.

In the past, the converts were known as the "thieves with the army", and in the eyes of the converts, they were synonymous with bandits. Since Wu Ji took over, the military discipline of the Returned Army has been strict, it no longer disturbs the people, and the matter of stealing chickens and dogs has disappeared, and the people have a great favor of the changes in the Returned Army. Not to mention, in the first battle of last year, the Returned Army showed its might and defeated the Liao Army.

What made the converts pleasest was that they followed the Converts army to fight in Xiongzhou, fought a great victory, and they also got a lot of benefits, got a lot of gold, silver, grain and grass, and were rewarded by the imperial court.

It is precisely because of this that when they see the converts again, how can they not be happy, as if they have seen their relatives.

The converts had seen a lot of this situation, and they did not act abnormally, but just rushed forward.

"That's Lord Zheng!"

"That's Wu Du Command!"

The people found Wu Ji and Mrs. Zheng. Among these two, Mrs. Zheng is a converted parent official, his official reputation is good, and the people love him. For Wu Ji, not to mention, Wu Ji is a great benefactor of the converting people, if it weren't for Wu Ji, they would have been slaughtered by the Liufeng thieves a long time ago.

Wu Ji led them to fight a great victory, they had fame, gold and silver, and Xiao Yuezi had a good life, which was given by Wu Ji, as soon as he saw Wu Ji, it was like seeing his relatives, and they all shouted in unison: "Wu Du commands!" Wu Du commanded! ”

The cheering people rushed to Wu Ji, wanting to get close to Wu Ji.

Wu Ji clenched his fists and said, "Fathers and fellow villagers, please forgive your sins!" I've got military work on my side! ”

"Huh!" The people let out a burst of cheerful laughter and hurriedly said: "Commander Wu Du has military affairs in his body, we won't disturb Wu Du Command!" Commander Wudu, you are busy with you! ”

"Master Zheng, have you seen it, you, a parent official, why are you not as loved by the people as I am?" Wu Ji's eyes widened, he looked at Mrs. Zheng for a while, his eyes rolled, and he suddenly realized: "Lord Zheng, you won't do anything to make the people unhappy, right?" Have you ever peeked at which little daughter-in-law is taking a bath? ”

"What do you say?" Mrs. Zheng's eyes rolled and she roared angrily, and the green tendons on her neck burst out, like old tree branches: "I am a scholar, how can I do such a lack of morality?" Commander Wu Du, don't talk nonsense. ”

"Hey, hey!" Wu Ji laughed for a while, and said, "Then you say, why don't the people ignore you?" ”

"That's because I'm leaving. If I hadn't wanted to see the combat strength of the Converts, I would have left a long time ago, so there's no need to listen to your crazy words! "Mrs. Zheng is very unruly. Don't look at Wu Jiping and said that he looked like a gentleman, sometimes he laughed, which made Zheng Tai, Huangfu Song, and Qi Dabao unable to resist.

According to Song Shenzong's will, Zheng Tai should be transferred to another place after the rebuilding of Guixin City. However, he was bent on seeing the combat strength of the converted army, so he dragged it all the time. After several months of rigorous training, the Converts underwent a drastic change, and they were as strong as oxen, as if they had inexhaustible strength.

If nothing else, let's just say that Wu Ji himself, after these months of hard training, he is also as strong as a cow. The protruding tendons and flesh on his body are terrifying, if he is not a person who understands him, he will not believe it if he is killed, a strong person like him turned out to be a scholar who was about to fall down in the wind in the past, and thought that he had been a hard-trained martial arts master since he was a child.

I have to say that the Tang people's methods of working hard are really good, regardless of the type of troops, they must train every day, and the physical fitness of the entire Conversion Army has been greatly improved. Even the 1,000 elites transferred by Wang Shao have made a leap in their physical fitness after being trained in this method.

After several months of hard training, the Converts have been trained, and today is the time for verification. This test requires a lot of places, although the school field is not small, it is not enough, Wu Ji had to pull the Converts out of the city and prepare for a drill outside the city.

While chatting with Mrs. Zheng, Wu Ji farted and joked some jokes, and at the same time led the Converts out of the city and went straight to the west of the city.

As soon as the people saw this, some people guessed: "The Converts are going to perform martial arts, let's go and take a look!" ”

"That's right! It's definitely a martial arts! ”

"Our converts are good, certainly not bad!"

"Be sure to check it out!"

And when the people were talking and talking, they were to follow.

At this moment, a team of messengers struck the gong and proclaimed loudly: "On the orders of Wu Du's command, the people are forbidden to watch!" Violators will be beaten with thirty military sticks! ”

The fighting methods of the Converts are classified and cannot be disclosed, and of course it is impossible for the people to watch them. Of course, it is most appropriate to leave this matter to the errand officer. When the people heard this, they were very sorry, but out of love for Wu Ji, no one violated it.

Out of the city, the Guixin army, under the leadership of Wu Ji, traveled more than 30 miles west, came to an open place, and stopped. The converts were well-trained, moved quickly, and soon the formation was completed.

The formation is complete, thick and solemn, giving people a feeling of being like a mountain and a mountain. In order, without the slightest confusion.

The Mo Knife Men are in front, next to each other are the Crossbowmen, and between the ranks are the Knife Hands, who are there to cover the Mo Knife Men and the Crossbowmen. The two wings are cavalry, which is used to protect the two wings. In the last row, there is a team of knife men, to cover the back. On the battlefield, protecting your back from enemy attacks is a top priority.

The war horses of Mo swordmen, knife hands, archers, and crossbowmen were gathered together and placed at the foot of the mountain in the south, and the war horses were allowed to graze.

"Wu is in command, everywhere is controlled, and there is no one." Wu Xing rode a horse and reported to Wu Ji.

In order to keep the secret, Wu Ji ordered Wu Xing to lead his troops to occupy the commanding heights and clear out all the people nearby. Even if the people are invited to leave, of course, they will be compensated for their efforts.

"Excellent! Keep watching! Wu Ji nodded slightly, still recognizing Wu Xing's ability to do things.

"Yes!" Wu Xing received the order and led people to continue to inspect, and no one could see the military exercises of the Returning Army.

Wu Ji rode on his horse, looking at the converted troops lined up, and was very satisfied. In a few months, it is not easy to train the Converts to this level, which is definitely the elite of the elite. In order to train this army, Wu Ji didn't know how much suffering he had endured and how many brain cells had died.

Months of hard work will be verified today, although Wu Ji is full of confidence, when this moment comes, he still can't help but be a little nervous and look forward to it.

Looking at Zheng Tai, Huangfu Song, and Qi Dabao again, all of them were like him, with a look of anticipation, very nervous, pursed their lips, looked at Wu Ji, did not speak, and were waiting for his order.

For the sake of this army, the three of them also did their best, and they did not come up with ideas or hardships.

If this style of play is reliable and powerful, it means that the Song army's tactics will change, and the impact is unimaginable, who can not be nervous?

"Gotta get it!" Wu Ji pulled the reins of the horse, came to the front of the battle, looked at the Converting Army, only to see that the Returning Army was all strong, full of spirit, and a fierce spirit enveloped the four fields, he was very satisfied, and said loudly: "Brothers: Last year, Liaogou invaded the border, and our Conversion Army has made great contributions!" We defeated the attack of Liao Dog twice in the city of Guixin, captured Yelu Bodhisattva alive, and killed more than 6,000 Liao Dog! ”

This is the proud work of the Converts, and the Returnees have a strange light in their eyes, and they raise their heads proudly.

"However, there are still many Liao dogs, Liao dogs are endless, we can't be satisfied, we have to train hard, we have to practice the ability to kill the enemy, we want to kill Liao dogs!" Wu Ji changed his words and continued: "We braved the cold, the wind and snow, and trained in the ice and snow!" We sweated, bleed, and practiced hard for months, just to kill the dogs! Today, we will conduct military exercises to test our training, and whether we can kill the enemy or not, right now! ”

After a slight pause, he roared loudly: "Brothers: Liao Gou is coming, let Liao Gou die without a place to be buried!" ”

"Let Liao Dog die without a place to be buried!"

The two thousand five hundred converts erupted in an earth-shattering roar that soared into the sky and shook the earth.
