Chapter 43: The army is undermining

The sky is gloomy and dark clouds are everywhere, and it is like a black cloud is swaying to destroy the city.

"Huhh!"

The bitter cold wind blew on his body, like a knife cutting flesh, making people shudder involuntarily.

This was Wu Ji's first winter in the Song Dynasty. Wu Ji was very sure that the winter in the Song Dynasty was much colder than in modern winter. If it weren't for his current change in family background and was still in Wujiazhuang, it would be a problem whether he could survive this winter this year.

"Commander Wu, it seems that it will snow." Huangfu Song looked at the sky: "The weather in the north is colder than in the south. This winter comes earlier, and it will be even colder as soon as the snow comes. Commander Wu, do you still need training? If the snow falls later, we can train the army. Now, it is still a little while before training."

"Train as usual." Wu Ji pondered for a moment: "Practice in winter and practice in summer. The colder it is, the better time to train."

"Okay!" Huangfu Song agreed with this statement. With an order, the soldiers lined up, and although the wind was as cold as a knife, no one retreated.

Wu Ji came to the queue and glanced at the Congxin Army, with a smile on his face: "Brothers: Congratulations, you have become much stronger, you have become much more energetic and more fierce!"

"Haha!" The soldiers laughed in unison.

In the past, they were not soldiers, they were just refugees, malnourished, and their faces were delicious, so how could they be trained? Now, life is better, and although training is hard, they have undergone tremendous changes. They have become much more refined and have become stronger.

"But, don't think that this is enough, it's far from enough." Wu Ji's smile calmed down and then said, "It's going to snow. We have to continue practicing. Are you afraid?"

"Don't be afraid!" The soldiers admired Wu Ji very much.

"That's good!" Wu Ji's voice suddenly raised: "Listen to my orders and pull out all your clothes!"

“What?”

"Tear all your clothes?"

"It's so cold, can't you survive?"

Although soldiers always only listened to Wu Ji's orders, they had to feel resentful of this order. When they talked about it, no one took off their clothes.

Isn’t it fatal to pull out all your clothes in such cold weather?

"Didn't you hear it clearly? If you don't pull out all your clothes, you will be deducted military pay!" Wu Ji took the first prize of the big stick with the military pay.

The soldiers were afraid of deducting military pay and did not dare to ignore it. They had to pull out all their clothes, and their faces turned blue and their noses were flowing.

"Standing like a wooden stake, wanting to freeze to death? Why don't you go and practice!" Wu Ji roared, and the sound was like thunder. The soldiers heard it, which was the supreme order and dared not not obey it.

So, a group of bare soldiers began training. The colder the wind, the more it was going to move. Once the exercise started, it became warmer. After a brief cold, the soldiers tasted the sweetness and trained harder.

Wu Ji also took off his clothes and started training with only one outfit. At first, he felt very cold, but later, he didn't feel cold anymore. He felt warm all over, as if he was baking around a stove.

In this way, the Converted Army began a unique training again.

In the evening, a heavy snow began to fall. The next day, the ground was covered with three inches of snow, and Wu Ji was still training with the Converted Army.

The heavy snow seemed endless. It didn't stop after three days. The ground was half a foot of snow. Walking in the snow, there would be a crackling sound.

Under Wu Ji's high pressure, the Converted Army had to continue training. Li Mingchu took advantage of the training time to meet Wu Ji, and said with a bitter face: "Commander Wu, don't train like this, okay? This is torture!"

His words were immediately recognized by many soldiers and many people agreed. Training in the snow and ice is really a torture.

"Nonsense! If you don't torture you, can you become elite?" Wu Ji was very angry: "Do you know how long Liao Gou has the strongest combat power?"

"Of course it's time for the horses to be fat in autumn." Shang Yuan was knowledgeable and immediately said: "If you do the Yi formation, you will have more people to come into contact with and know more things. Liaogou used to be a nomadic barbarian in the desert, and you can only bend your bow. In autumn, the grass to be fat and the horses to be fat, and their combat power is the strongest."

Wu Ji looked at Shang Yuan, worthy of being a Yi Bing, and his knowledge was more extensive than Li Ming and others: "You are talking about the past, the Liao dogs are not like this now. In the past, Liao dogs had no essence grain, and could only rely on autumn grass to feed war horses. Only when the war horses were fat, and they would be the most powerful when galloping, and they would have the longest endurance. At present, Liao dogs have the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, which has a large amount of essence grain. The war horses are fat and strong all year round."

"Commander Wu, then do you think Liaogou has the strongest combat power?" Li Mingchu asked with his eyes blinking.

"It's the time when it's snowing heavily." Wu Ji pointed at the ice and snow under his feet: "Liaogou is cold-resistant and not heat-resistant, and likes to act in the ice and snow. This is the time when Liaogou has the strongest combat power. If you can't fight in the ice and snow, you will only die when you meet Liaogou."

"Commander Wu is for our good!" Shang Yuan took the lead in understanding: "Commander Wu, do you think Liaogou will fight now? Liaogou has not used troops to the Song Dynasty for several years, so he must be waiting for an opportunity."

"Yes!" Li Mingchu and the others immediately agreed.

"Well, it's really hard to guess. Liao Gou will definitely fight against the Song Dynasty. This is certain, but it's hard to grasp the time. Well, I have to arrange this matter and ask someone to go to reconnaissance, so I can't relax." Wu Ji pondered.

"Commander Wu, please give the order! I am willing to go to reconnaissance." Li Mingchu patted his chest and promised.

"I'm willing to go too!" The soldiers asked for their orders.

Looking at the soldiers with a determined face, Wu Ji was very satisfied. If they had heard of such a thing before, they would have wished that their parents would have two less legs and escape as far as possible, so they would not have asked for their lives.

"You don't have to go, you can continue practicing, I'll make arrangements now." Wu Ji was about to leave after he explained.

"Commander Wu, who do you want to reconnaissance?" Huangfu Song couldn't understand.

"Qiyun Club." Wu Ji smiled and said, "The Conversion Army is far inferior to Qiyun Club in this regard. Even if I send someone to reconnaissance, I may not be able to find out the news. Why don't you ask Qi Dabao for help?"

Qiyun Club is very powerful, and there are many branches in the north. If you want to find out the news, you are really stronger than the Converted Army. Huangfu Song nodded and didn't say anything.

Wu Ji rushed to Qiyun Club, saw Qi Dabao, and said his thoughts. Qi Dabao smiled and said, "Commander Wu, you look down on me. I will try every means to inquire about this matter. Don't worry. However, I got news a few days ago that Yelu Ming, the governor of Zhuozhou, was secretly mobilizing the army, and he might come over."

"Oh!" Wu Ji raised his eyebrows, a little surprised: "Is there any specific news?"

"Not yet." Qi Dabao shook his head and said, "Liaogou is smart. This matter is blocked very strictly. If we hadn't been operating in the north for many years, we would not have received this news."

"Brother Qi, thank you." Wu Ji didn't dare to stay there, so he left Qiyun Club and headed straight for the county government.

Zheng Tai was busy with political affairs. When he saw Wu Ji arrive hurriedly, he quickly put down his hands and came forward: "Commander Wu, why are you born? Is there something big? "

Wu Ji's face was solemn, and he nodded slightly and said, "Mr. Zheng, let me speak with you."

Mrs. Zheng took Wu Ji to a room, served tea, and sat opposite Wu Ji.

When Wu Ji said Qi Dabao, Zheng Tai was surprised: "This is a big deal. The Liao army was mobilized, and it was Zhuozhou. If it really wanted to fight, it was clearly for Xiongzhou. Xiongzhou had stopped Liao for more than a hundred years. Liao had always wanted to fight. The tribute hall was destroyed. Although Yelu Hongji did not ask for any crime, it was because he was afraid of embarrassment and he would definitely vent his anger in Xiongzhou."

"Yes!" Wu Ji nodded and said, "The tribute hall is infuriating. Even if it is not for this, the Liao Kingdom will fight against the Song Dynasty. With this, Yelu Hongji cannot afford to lose his face and will definitely do it this year. And now, heavy snow is flying, ice and snow, and it is the time when Liaogou has the strongest combat power, so we have to guard against it."

"We must be prepared for the defense. Commander Wu will continue to train troops, mobilize the people, repair the city, and strengthen defense. Let me leave these things. In addition, we will write a letter to report this matter to Zhou Wei of the Xiongzhou Army." Zheng Tai was a capable officer and immediately thought of a solution.

"I believe that it is a border town, which is very solid. It will not take much effort to repair and reinforce it. I don't have to worry about it. It's better to speed up the training of the army." Wu Ji agreed with Zheng Tai's handling.

Outside Zhuozhou City, countless Liao troops were gathering, one after another, and a large area of ​​darkness was endless. There were countless Liao troops.

The Liao army was cold-resistant and not heat-resistant. Although they stood in the snow, they were full of energy and extraordinary momentum. The war horses were neighing, and a solemn and murderous aura filled the world.

"Get it!"

The sound of horse hooves sounded, and dozens of Liao generals surrounded by a group of Liao generals in silver helmets and silver armor galloped over. The place where the horse hooves were pedaled was filled with ice and snow, which was very spectacular.

The general was Yelu Ming, the governor of Zhuozhou in Liao Kingdom. At this time, Yelu Ming was riding an extremely majestic war horse, wearing a silver helmet and silver armor, and a thick mace on the hook of the weapon. He carried a thick and long hard bow on his back, and there were arrows in his quiver and a scimitar on his waist. He was majestic and thrilling.

When he arrived in front of the formation, Yelu Ming pulled the reins of the horse, and the war horse neighed and stopped. Facing the army, Yelu Ming looked at it for a while, very satisfied, raised his right hand and spoke loudly: "The warriors of the Great Liao Dynasty: Today is an important day! I, Yelu Ming, will lead you to the south, to plunder and kill on the land of the Southern Dynasty, and engrave the glory of the Great Liao Dynasty on the land of the Southern Dynasty!"

"Long live the Great Liao!"

Burning, killing and looting on the land of the Song Dynasty was the favorite thing that the Liao people liked to do. When they heard this, the Liao soldiers were all excited, Mo Ming waved his arms and shouted.

Yelu Ming pressed his right hand down, signaling the soldiers not to yell again, and then he gave a speech: "The Southern people are timid, and they will run away when they see the warriors of the Liao Dynasty! The warriors of the Liao Dynasty, for the timid southerners, our bows and arrows, our scimitars will be the best weapon! We shoot through the chests of the southern people, and we use the scimitars to cut off the heads of the southern people! We want to turn the land of the Southern Dynasty into our pastures! We want to ride the women of the Southern Dynasty under our crotch and listen to the cry of the women of the Southern Dynasty. That is the best reward for the warriors of the Liao Dynasty! The warriors of the Liao Dynasty, go south and flatten the Southern Dynasty!"

"Plant the Southern Dynasty!"

"Plant the Southern Dynasty!"
