The wind of testing in late autumn was prevalent in the Han Dynasty and the chaos in the world at the end of the Tang Dynasty, which still existed. By mid-December, it was already the cold winter season, and for most of the troops nowadays, this time was the time when training was reduced and they were kept warm in the barracks, but the barracks of the Hundred Battles Army were full of liveliness.

As early as two months ago, the Hundred Battles Army had moved from the temporary barracks outside Qimen City to the city, and the barracks - the places where the soldiers lived were no longer tents, but real barracks. The only thing that hasn't changed in the barracks is the general.

At this time, Li Congjing stood on the platform against the cold wind.

Today is the last day of the Hundred Battles Army.

Since it is a capital examination and the whole army training subject of the school, it is natural that the day of heavy snow will not be chosen, but it is limited to that. North of the Yellow River, there is a lot of snow in winter, there is very little sunshine, and most of the time, the sky is always gloomy. The same is true today.

Right now, on the huge school field, the sergeants commanded by the three infantry troops are training in battle formation. The content of the exercise was not complicated, one side formed a circle formation, a defensive position, and the other side formed a square formation, gathering the forces of two commands, and presenting an offensive. On the school field, the flag was waving, the drums were non-stop, and the captains of the team were shouting loudly.

The rest of the soldiers did not sit on the periphery of the school field to watch the battle, but were ready to go, as if they were going to participate in the battle at any time.

The attacker first shot with bows and arrows, but the defender's shield was raised, and the effect of bows and arrows was not obvious.

The sound of neat footsteps and the sound of armor crashing on the ground seemed to fall on people's hearts, which was particularly weighty.

After the attacker makes contact with the defender, the defensive effect of the circle is extremely reflected, and no matter which side the phalanx attacks, it cannot break through its defense. On the contrary, the attackers suffered repeated setbacks, and their morale dropped significantly.

Immediately, the commander of the attacking side gathered heavy troops and concentrated the attack on a point in the circle, and only then did there be a breakthrough.

But the circle then turned into a glaive array, and the two sides reached a stalemate again.

Li Congjing stood on the platform, without saying a word, with no expression on his face, but in fact, he had secretly nodded in his heart. These officers and men acted in a unified manner, carried out military orders meticulously, and none of them made mistakes, and the personal qualities of the officers and men were obviously not weak, they were full of spirit, and their skills were also skillful.

In just three months, the Hundred Battles Army has begun to show its weather. Of course, this is related to the fact that two-thirds of the soldiers of the Hundred Battles Army are veterans, but the new pawns and old pawns are properly configured, cooperate with each other tacitly, and there is no barrier.

Examining these is exactly what they intended.

On the school field, the attacker gradually gained the advantage under the onslaught led by Meng Ping, and the defender gradually became overwhelmed. But at this moment, there was a loud beat of drums, and a group of cavalry rushed into the school field from the rear of the defensive formation, and swept towards the two flanks of the attacker, but it was the defender's reinforcements that arrived.

The attacker and the defender were easy to attack and defend in an instant, and the change in formation immediately became violent, and the pace of the fight was significantly accelerated.

With the continuous addition of troops, almost all of the 3,000 armies gradually joined the battlefield.

From this, the battle reached its climax. During this period, the various commanders even went down to the coordination of each team, the exchange of offense and defense, and even the attack and defense of one side, the changes were extremely complicated, and it can be said that this was a typical battle in which the battlefield situation was changing rapidly.

The dust was flying, the soldiers were running and fighting, and the huge school field became boiling water, so it was not lively.

This battle was personally planned by Li Congjing, in order to comprehensively test the battlefield ability of the Hundred Battles Army. The battlefield is oriented to the general trend and based on formation. The large array contains a small array, the small array becomes a large array, and the large and small formations are all formed from each queue, and the queue is formed by the soldiers. A large array of thousands or even 10,000 people may change the situation and lead to changes in the outcome of the battlefield because a small array of several dozen people will be the first to break through or collapse.

And each military formation is composed of soldiers.

From the perspective of the battle array, there is no individual martial arts on the battlefield. However, there are soldier qualities on the battlefield!

Li Congjing's eyes are as sharp as an eagle, he pays attention to the general trend, and also pays attention to every detail, he needs to find bright spots, but also needs to find problems, and then * training plan, so that this army will become stronger step by step.

"This is my army!" Li Congjing's eyes gradually became hot, and the hand behind him clenched into a fist.

At the time of application, the test is over.

According to the results of the registration of the test in the past few days, Li Congjing was on the stage and presented awards. Boxes of copper coins were brought to the stage, a horizontal knife, *, and a piece of armor, all of which were rewarded by the winners of this trial.

To raise an army is to spend money.

Fortunately, there is no need for Li Congjing to worry too much about military salaries and equipment, as an army established by King Jin himself, the shogunate allocated all the supplies for the Hundred Battles Army. Of course, that's just regular supplies. Li Congjing's various constructions in training, including the additional rewards in order to increase the enthusiasm of the soldiers for training, had to be paid for by himself.

Of course, Li Congjing personally has no money. But as the head of a town, he will not run out of money. When the He family was wiped out last time, a lot of benefits were looted, and after the Immortal Mountain Liangzi Mountain was attached, it also symbolically handed over a little wealth, as well as the filial piety of all parties in Qimen, and Li Congjing did not pull it down. All these silver coins were thrown into the Hundred Battles Army for him.

Meng Ping, Li Shaocheng, and Meng San, with their own soldiers performed outstandingly, and they were all big winners in this test. Especially Meng Ping, he has been with Li Congjing for more than ten years, and his quality is outstanding in all aspects, and he has become the biggest dark horse in the capital test.

"Meng Ping listened to the order, and now the envoy will promote you to the head of the capital before the left command of the infantry army of the Hundred Battles, and you will take office on the same day!" Li Congjing announced that the capital test also has a major role, which is to discover talents and then promote these talents.

"Li Shaocheng, Erbu performed very well, and he was rewarded with five thousand silver." Li Congjing waved his hand, and a box of silver coins arrived in Li Shaocheng's hand, and the eyes of the other departments were red. Now there are 1,000 horses in the Hundred Battles Army, and Li Shaocheng, as the commander of the Horse Army, is actually the commander of 1,000 people, and he is the person who has the greatest real power in the Hundred Battles Army, except for Li Congjing.

Of course, because the 1,000-horse army was a fixed number, the horses and supporting equipment were allocated by the Jin Shogunate.

In addition to these people, in this test, some new faces with extraordinary performances have emerged, namely Li Zheng, the head of the Ma army, Wu Gou, the commander of the infantry army, and Lin Xiong and Lin Ying, who are famous for their personal martial arts. For these people, Li Congjing also has his own rewards.

In less than an hour, there was no surplus of a large pile of silver and materials.

Li Congjing has been a dick all his life in his last life, and he has never spent money like this, although he is a second-generation official in this life, there are very few places where he needs to spend too much money. With so much money spent today, the first thing Li Congjing felt was that it was Shuang'ershuang!

"It seems that how to get more silver is also a problem that needs to be solved urgently." Li Congjing secretly said in his heart that the wealth he had collected had basically bottomed out, and whether it was the training of the Hundred Battles Army or the military intelligence department that he had high hopes for, it was a bottomless pit of spending money - the little money allocated by Li Cunqiao was really not enough for Li Congjing.

But Li Congjing can't help it, after all, the Jin Kingdom is not rich now...... Whoever fights for decades in a row will not be rich.

Li Congjing was satisfied with the training results of the Hundred Battles Army. But no matter how well an army is trained, if it wants to become a real elite, it must undergo the baptism of actual combat. And if you want to lose less in this baptism, that is, to fight a big victory, and to win a big battle, put aside other schemes, you need a truly elite vanguard on the battlefield, to tear apart the enemy's formation.

Li Congjing thought about it, and then thought of the elite soldier route, and then thought of the special forces.

When Li Congjing followed Li Cunqiao to fight in the south and the north, because he was a guard, he almost never left Li Cunqing. And Li Cunmiao is a guy who especially likes to take more than 100 people, go to the enemy camp to provoke, and then be hunted down; As for risking one's life to find out the enemy's situation, it is very common.

Before following Li Cunmiao south to Weizhou, when he was in Youzhou, Li Cunmiao led 400 people deep into the enemy territory to explore the Khitan military camp, and then was besieged by thousands of people. That battle was extraordinarily tragic, Li Congjing was almost martyred, if it wasn't for Li Sizhao's timely help, I'm afraid Li Congjing would have been reincarnated in Naihe Bridge.

But this made Li Congjing rise up with an idea, he wants to build a guard elite who can follow him on the battlefield to tear apart the enemy's army formation first!

In the end, Li Congjing encouraged all the soldiers and delivered a concluding speech. And the New Year is approaching, and the Spring Festival is coming, and the soldiers who have won a lot of awards are in a very good mood, which makes the barracks shrouded in a festive color.

But when Wei Dao found Li Congjing, Li Congjing immediately had a headache.

When Wei Dao was in Luzhou, the official was in charge of the secretary, Qimen was only a county, and the town did not have such an official position, so Li Congjing asked him to temporarily serve in the Hundred Battles Army, as a military counselor in the army, and at the same time as the secretary in charge, in charge of the secretary.

Like Mo Li, Li Congjing also appointed Wei Dao as a talent who was both military and political.

At present, in terms of political talents, there are Wei Xingming and Wei Ziren as reserves, Zhang Ziyun and Wang Buqi in the town governance, Mo Li and Wei Dao in the army, Li Shaocheng, Meng Ping, Meng San in the army, and a group of rising stars such as Li Zheng and Wu Hook, plus Tao Yaoyao, Li Rong, Wu Changjian of the Military Intelligence Department, Li Congjing's team already has a backbone framework, and he believes that this framework will gradually plump up.

"There is not much left in the army's salary, but there are hundreds of soldiers in the army who have no armor, and there is also a gap in winter clothes. Wei Dao said.

At that time, Li Cunqiao gave the Hundred Battles Army a quota of 3,000 people, according to his meaning, it could not be less, but now Li Congjing has recruited 600 more people, Li Cunqiao means that the treasury is tight, you either tighten your belt, or figure it out yourself.

Li Congjing has no way to deal with Li Cunqing's behavior, he now knows what is called "New Year's Pass", this is really a big pass.

It's good to say that he sent Wei Dao away, Zhang Ziyun is here again.

"Wang is old and thin-skinned, so let me tell Gongzi about this, Gongzi, dozens of people up and down the town, in the past few months, for recruitment, city defense, and military camps, running around and tiring, many people are tired and sick, it is really not easy, seeing that the New Year is approaching, I don't know what subsidies Gongzi has?" Zhang Ziyun said, he was a little embarrassed, as if he was afraid that Li Congjing would be embarrassed, but as everyone knows, Li Congjing looked at his face, and he had to be embarrassed if he was not embarrassed.

Officials' holiday benefits are not unique to later generations, they have been available for a long time.

Li Congjing said something bad again and sent Zhang Ziyun back.

I never thought that Zhang Ziyun left the door with his front foot, and Mo Li had already entered the door with his back foot.

"You don't want to urge the subsidy, I don't have anything here, I'm trying to figure out a way to ......" Li Congjing spread his hands, shrugged his shoulders, and said helplessly.

Mo Li smiled, gently shook his folding fan, and it was not too cold in winter, and said, "I'm not here to urge the salary......"
