These 876 people underwent the trial of the ruffians on the way back to the old turtle slope, and those who were able to get here had already reached the approval of the ruffian in terms of physical strength!

From now on, Zhang Cheng and the brothers of Ruffian Zitun began to train the recruits, and examined these more than 800 people from various aspects such as physical strength, willpower, talent, and mental nature, and in the end, 432 people remained.

Compared with the training of Ling Yi when they joined the army, the quality of these more than 400 people was much stronger than that of other recruits.

Of these more than 400 people, only more than 30 people have received a certain amount of physical training because they have worked in the martial arts hall, but there is no systematic exercise and martial arts, and in other military camps, these people can be regarded as good soldiers, but in the eyes of Ling Yi and others, this is still not enough.

Ling Yi has the ability to cultivate powerful warriors, so he asked Sun Ze and others to teach a mortal-level exercise, whether it is a recruit or a veteran of Ruffian, they have benefited a lot.

The veterans of Ruffian Tun were originally martial artists who had awakened their martial arts, so with a good exercise, their strength has improved a lot again, and with the previous martial arts, their combat power has reached a higher level.

It will be much more difficult for recruits, because they are already over sixteen years old, which is more than ten years later than the normal opening of the martial arts, and even if they have exercises, they still can't become martial artists.

If you want to improve their strength, the first problem that needs to be solved is to open up a martial vein.

As Hao Jun, who knew a little about medical skills, he gave full play to his advantages, he deliberately went to Tianyu City, and bought a lot of medicinal herbs that could relax the muscles and invigorate the blood, which were specially used to make medicinal baths for these recruits and improve their physical fitness.

Sun Ze and Ah Hai were not idle, they conducted physical training for more than 400 people every day, and every day in the evening, these recruits would be trained by the two of them to the point that they could not get up, and then they were thrown into several large bathhouses prepared by the ruffians to take medicinal baths.

It took more than a month before and after, Hao Jun finally cleaned up the impurities of these recruits' physical abilities, and their physical functions also improved a lot.

During this period, there has been no movement in the Northern Wilderness, the grassland outside the pass, has been grass and horses, the herdsmen of the Northern Wilderness have set up camp on the grassland, when the cavalry of the tribe in order to protect the herdsmen, also began to patrol the grassland, but easily did not dare to approach the border.

After the two sorties of the ruffian before, the cavalry of the Northern Wilderness is as deep as the old turtle slope, and now the grassland is fertile, and their purpose is only to raise cattle, sheep and horses well to ensure that the rations are sufficient after winter!

Lingyi's horse farm has also begun to take shape, with more than 300 mares successfully conceived under the care of herders, and new foals are expected to be born by the end of the year.

Coupled with the raising of pigs, cows, and sheep, plus the cultivation of the farms around Tianyu City, the wheat harvest in May, everything will reach a state of self-sufficiency, and the soldiers of Ruffian Tun and their relatives are excited, this is a happy life created by their own hands.

Not only are the families of veterans, but most of the recruits this time are children who have experienced the war, they are either orphans, or their relatives are suffering, so Ling Yi took their relatives to the farm and ranch in Tianyu City, but the number is a bit small, only six or seven hundred!

Through the training of these two people, opening up martial arts cultivation, and taking care of their relatives, these recruits are also dead set on Ling Yi, they are all young and poor people, Ling Yi has made them see hope, and they will follow Ling Yi's side.

Except for the fact that he has not yet taught the "Heaven Breaking Method", the others have been trained well, and on this day, Zhang Cheng found Lingyi.

"Brother Zhang, what are you looking for me?" Ling Yi asked as he forged the steel shaft.

Zhang Cheng walked over, pulled the bellows for Ling Yi, and said, "Now that the recruits are almost trained, what are you going to do next?"

Ling Yi returned the steel to the furnace, continued to calcinate, looked at the fire, and said, "Isn't this something you worry about?

"You kid, you don't care at all!" Zhang Cheng really can't do anything about this doll officer!

"Don't I have something to do? What do you think, let's hear it first!" Lingyi fire tongs stood on the stainless steel, constantly turning it, so that the steel was heated evenly.

Zhang Cheng replied: "Now it is necessary to divide the number of recruits and appoint officers, and there are many things! I have an idea, I don't know if you agree with it?"

"Agreed!" Ling Yi replied and began to forge and fight!

"You didn't even hear what it was, so you blindly agreed to what?" Zhang Chengzhen couldn't help Lingyi, and said: "I think so, the veteran is still a tun, and he will not be scattered and reorganized, so that the combat effectiveness can be guaranteed, and the recruits will be divided into four tuns, each with one hundred and eight people, and the tun chief, captain, and fire chief will be elected, what do you think?"

The answer to Zhang Cheng was still the word "agree", but Ling Yi thought about it for a while and asked, "How did you choose the officer?"

Zhang Cheng smiled mysteriously and said, "It's up to you!"

"Rely on me, you might as well rely on yourself!" Ling Yi shook his head.

"It's not up to you to choose, I mean, I want to ask you to help find a mentor!" Zhang Cheng replied.

"Sect leader, I know a Li Zhuke, what are you going to invite him for?" asked Ling Yi.

"I didn't invite him!" Zhang Cheng said in denial, and then said: "Don't you know the heavy cavalry? I want to invite a team of heavy cavalry to come over and give us a special training!"

"Special training, aren't you making a good noise, what are you inviting others to do?"

"My Lord Duwei, I'm not an all-rounder, and I still need others to teach many things!" Zhang Cheng pulled the bellows speechlessly, regardless of whether Ling Yi calcined the steel or not, anyway, the coals were burned red, and the temperature in the entire blacksmith shop rose a lot!

"Don't pull it, is this going to kill me? Can't I ask you to bring the heavy cavalry over?" Ling Yi wiped a handful of sweat and finally compromised!

Zhang Cheng let go of the bellows and said proudly: "That's right, I wouldn't be so tired if I promised it earlier!"

Ling Yi put down the work in his hand, stepped aside and sat down, and asked, "What are you going to do here?" Let's hear it first, the heavy cavalry I invited is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and if you don't do it, you will have to be extorted!"

Zhang Cheng sat next to Ling Yi and said solemnly: "Before, we were only about 100 people, and you had strong resistance in front, so the two wars were invincible, but without you, our combat strength would drop a lot." Therefore, I would like to ask you to let the heavy cavalry come over and teach us the formation of the cavalry, in the future we will be equipped with sweat and blood horses, according to the quality of the horses, it is definitely the equipment of the heavy cavalry, and receiving cavalry formation training in advance will have a lot of benefits for future battles. What's more, in the future, you will have to expand the army, and if you don't have a mature formation, the stragglers will only greatly reduce the combat effectiveness of the army! Through training, I can also determine the candidates for officers through the performance of the recruits!"

Speaking of these, Zhang Chengcheng is full of mouth and interest!

After listening to Zhang Cheng's words, Ling Yi also understood that in small-scale battles, personal strength can still be demonstrated, and large-scale battles all depend on the tacit understanding of the soldiers' formations, and a good formation can often have a surprising effect.

"You can analyze it, I'll do it!" Taking out a pen and paper, Ling Yi began to write a letter to Wei Wentao, inviting him to lead the team to train together!

He knew that Wei Wentao would definitely come back, because the weapons promised to Wei Wentao last time had not been fulfilled, and Wei Wentao would definitely come as soon as he received the letter.

Handing over the letter to Zhang Cheng, Ling Yi said: "Brother Zhang, you have to let Ah Hai Feige pass the book, and in less than five days, you can start training!"

After receiving the letter, Zhang Cheng turned around and was about to leave, but was grabbed by Ling Yi's arm.

"Anything else?" asked Zhang Cheng strangely.

Ling Yi thought for a while and said: "After five days of training, you ask the herdsmen to release all the horses, go to the grassland in the northeast to take care of them for a few days, and then rush back when the training is over! Also, during training, let everyone hide the stainless steel hammer, and don't let him see it, this is our secret weapon, if you want him to know that I have so many real-level weapons, he will definitely not let me go, use a few days of pig iron weapons first!"

"Okay, then I'll go down!" Zhang Cheng saw that Ling Yi had almost finished explaining, so he turned around and ran out of the blacksmith shop!

As Ling Yi expected, on the evening of the fourth day, Wei Wentao led his whole soldiers, a total of 830 heavy cavalry, to appear in Laoguipo.

This made Zhao Siqi excited, and heard that his guards reported that there were heavy cavalry coming towards his camp, and Zhao Siqi arrived at the gate of the camp early and waited solemnly.

The hoplite cavalry is the core force of the entire Bingzhou army, and he is envious, if it weren't for the fact that the hand of the inspector can't reach the hoplite cavalry corps, he would want to go to the hoplite cavalry to gangster military merits. You must know that the military expenses of this heavy cavalry are more than double that of light cavalry, and by their own means, they can deduct a lot of military salaries!

I don't know who is leading the heavy cavalry who is here today?

The heavy cavalry galloped to the gate of the camp, and immediately stopped the horses, a man in the armor of the captain, rode his horse to Zhao Siqi, and had no intention of getting off the horse, and asked, "Are you Zhao Siqi?"

Although the other party's military rank and rank were lower than his own, Zhao Siqi didn't dare to be careless at all, and replied: "It's the captain of Lao Guipo, Zhao Siqi, I don't know where the captain belongs? What's the important matter here?"

Instead of answering Zhao Siqi's question, he continued to ask, "Where is the ruffian?"

"Ruffian?" Zhao Siqi is also strange, these heavy cavalry are here to find Ruffian, what are they for?

Seeing Zhao Siqi thinking there, the lieutenant urged, "Ask you, where is the ruffian?"

"Oh, the ruffian is in the valley in the northeast, I'll take you there!" Zhao Siqi asked his subordinates to bring mounts, and he led the way for the heavy cavalry, first, he wanted to climb the relationship, and second, he wanted to see what the purpose of this heavy cavalry was to find the ruffian, it was best to come to catch the ruffian and ask for the crime!
