Chapter 502

What is the most direct way to let people explode their potential?

The answer is very simple, that is the reward!

Under the so-called reward, there must be brave men. Under the reward of Yan Liqiang, more than 800 young people he gathered from huijiaji returned to Pingxi County in the name of the servants recruited by the Yan Family in Liuhe Town. They began to work hard from the first day of training, because Yan Liqiang told them that after 20 days of training, he would select 200 good performers from all of them, Each person will be rewarded with a rhinoceros horse and a set of armor weapons. In addition to rhinoceros horses and armor weapons, each person will also be rewarded with 100 liang of silver, and will have the opportunity to be promoted.

Yan Liqiang's reward has scratched the itch of all young people. As young people, who doesn't want to be majestic and majestic. The so-called rhinoceros, dragons and horses, armor and weapons are very expensive equipment. Although young people living in huijiaji and nearby mountains have seen these things since childhood, it's impossible to have them.

Whether for money or face, from the beginning, after hearing Yan Liqiang's rewards, the more than 800 young people he recruited burst.

There are more than 800 servants in other places, which is definitely eye-catching. However, in a war-torn border state like Ganzhou, the conditions are relatively relaxed. The imperial court has no limit on the number of servants recruited by local squires and big families. As long as you have money to support them and don't commit crimes and do harm to the countryside, coupled with the relationship between the Yan Family and the sheriff Wang Jianbei, from Liuhe Town to Qinghe County, Everyone is not surprised that a large number of servants recruited by Yan Liqiang have not caused any waves. Many people even take it for granted, because it is normal for a large family like the Yan family to recruit hundreds of servants who can build castle walls for the whole Liuhe Town. In Pingxi County, there is definitely more than one such large family with hundreds of servants.

The training is very simple. In the first seven days, Yan Liqiang divided everyone into eight teams, with 100 people in each team. He began to train the queue and cultivate everyone's team concept and discipline concept. This is exactly the same as the gongdao society, just like the freshman military training. After seven days, the queue trained a little, Hundreds of rhinoceros horses and a large number of longbows and other ordnance bought by Yan Liqiang's agent also arrived. In the next two weeks, Yan Liqiang asked everyone to continue training the queue in the morning and practice riding and archery in the afternoon.

More than 800 young people lived in harsh conditions. They fought with heaven, earth and people since childhood. They had learned to survive. Basically, they could ride horses and shoot arrows, but their levels were different. Now they have the opportunity. There is nothing lacking in bows, arrows and horses, and famous teachers are guiding them, They can master the most correct methods and essentials of horse riding and archery. When bows and arrows are open to supply like no money, everyone will make obvious progress in a short time. That is, during the three weeks of training, those who performed well in various training stood out one by one and were looked at by Yan Liqiang.

On September 16, Yan Liqiang asked more than 800 young people to hold a big competition. All of them rode on the rhinoceros horse field in batches, ran 2000 meters in a circle within the specified time, and shot 20 arrows at 20 pot cover size targets 100 meters away from the runway. Finally, the winner was determined by the result of archery. After one day's competition, 200 of the 800 people performed the best, Stand out at once.

This is basically the ratio of one out of four. The 800 people recruited by Yan Liqiang were originally stronger than ordinary people. The strength of those selected in such a contest is definitely the best among the young people. In Zhou Yong's words, the average combat strength of these selected young people has definitely exceeded most ordinary sergeants in Pingxi city.

Yan Liqiang didn't think that he could cultivate any Invincible Iron cavalry in a month. His purpose was to make these people useful. At a critical time, he could help himself contain the enemy for a moment.

Yan Liqiang then cashed in the reward he had promised before and handed out 200 rhinoceros horses and 200 sets of armor, armor and bow weapons. At nightfall, the 200 young people who had their own horses, armor and bow for the first time in their lives had high morale. In the name of training, Yan Liqiang took these 200 people, riding rhinoceros horses and carrying bows, With an arrow, he disappeared into the night and went straight to the border between Ganzhou and Yinzhou.

Accompanied by the more than 200 people were more than 30 four-wheel carriages prepared by the manufacturing Bureau and about 60 sergeants in the manufacturing Bureau led by Zhou Yong. In these more than 30 carts, Yan Liqiang pulled supplies, arrows, tents, and Yan Liqiang's Longji steel long gun. Because the long gun was too heavy, Yan Liqiang had to hold the long gun in his hand, The dark clouds and snow under his crotch would be too heavy to run, so the long gun had to be taken away in a carriage.

Yan Liqiang, who brought these people to Ganzhou at the Yinzhou border, did not stop at the border, but went directly into hundreds of miles of Yinzhou. Then he hid in the deserted mountains, explored the terrain, selected the place for ambush, made various preparations and targeted training, and nervously waited for the soldiers and horses of the northwest transfer Yamen to arrive.

... at noon on September 26, Yan Liqiang led Zhou Yong, Shi Dafeng, Shen Teng and Chang Kuan to lie behind the rocks on the ridge of a valley, pointed to the slope 300 meters in front of him that could lead to this side, which was less than 20 meters wide, and said to several people, "the valley below is a road from Yinzhou to Ganzhou, and there are not many caravans taking this road, Because it is desolate, bandits used to haunt here, but I judge that the soldiers and horses of the transfer yamen must take this road, because this road is closest to Ganzhou. Taking this road can reduce the cavalry of the transfer yamen by more than 200 miles and save most of the time and effort of the cavalry team. Those people must be murderous when they send troops and horses to Ganzhou after they get the news, I wish I could fly here with wings. In addition, there are many of them. They are not afraid of any ungrateful robbers on the road, so we will take this road. We just set an ambush here and killed them unprepared. When the ambush starts, the cavalry of the transfer yamen will want to rush up the mountain from here when they find that the front and back roads in the valley are cut off, Your task is not to rush down and fight with them, but to help me hold the slope with bows and arrows without letting people rush up to interfere with me. As long as you help me hold half a column of incense here, we will win the battle... "Speaking of this, Yan Liqiang suddenly trembled in his heart. As soon as he looked up, he looked at the sky without trace, Seeing the distant sky, a silver Falcon flying from a distance was drawing eight characters in the air. After quietly taking back his eyes, Yan Liqiang took a deep breath, "the people who transfer the Yamen are estimated to be coming in these two days, and we don't have much time. Let's get ready!"
