What is the most direct way to let people burst out of their potential?

The answer is simple, it's a reward!

Under Yan Liqiang's reward, more than 800 young people he gathered from the gray family set returned to Pingxi County in the name of the Yan family recruited by the Yan family in Liuhe Town, and began to rivet their strength from the first day of training, because Yan Liqiang told them that after 20 days of training, he would select 200 people with good performance from all of them, and each of them would be rewarded with a rhinosaurus horse, a set of armor and weapons, and the top ten with the best performance, in addition to the rhino dragon horse and armor weapons, each person would also be rewarded with 100 taels of silver, and there would be a chance to be promoted。

Yan Liqiang's reward is simply scratching the itch of all young people, as a young man, who doesn't want to have a golden sword, majestic, and the so-called rhino dragon horse, armor and weapons, these things, but very expensive equipment, those young people who live in the gray family and the nearby mountains, although they have seen these things since childhood, but it is impossible to say that they want to have them.

Whether it was for silver or for face, anyway, from the very beginning, after hearing Yan Liqiang's words, the more than 800 young people he recruited back exploded.

More than 800 family members, placed in other places, is definitely an eye-catching existence, but in a war-torn border state like Ganzhou, the conditions are relatively relaxed, and the imperial court has no limit on the number of family members recruited by local squires and big clans, as long as you have money to raise, don't be a traitor and harm the township, plus the relationship between the Yan family and the county guard Wang Jianbei, from Liuhe Town to Qinghe County, everyone is not surprised by the large number of family members recruited by Yan Liqiang, and it has not caused the slightest wave, and many people even take it for granted, because a big family like the Yan family who can afford to build a fort wall for the entire Liuhe Town, recruiting hundreds of family members, is really normal, in Pingxi County, this kind of big family with hundreds of families, there is definitely more than one.

The training is very simple, in the first seven days, Yan Liqiang divided everyone into eight teams, each team of 100 people, began to train the queue, and cultivated everyone's team concept and discipline concept, which is completely the same as the archery club, just like the freshman military training, and so on after seven days, the queue training is a little bit like that, Yan Liqiang asked people to buy hundreds of rhino dragon horses and a large number of longbows and other ordnance weapons have also arrived, the next two weeks, Yan Liqiang let everyone continue to train the queue in the morning, and practice riding and archery in the afternoon.

The more than 800 young people live in harsh conditions, one by one since they were young, they have been fighting with the sky, the earth, and the people, and have long learned the ability to survive, basically all of them can ride horses and archery, but the level is different, now there is an opportunity, there is no shortage of bows and arrows, and there are famous teachers on the side to guide, so that they can master the most correct methods and essentials of horseback riding and archery, in the case of bows and arrows like no money, open supply, just a short time, everyone has obvious progress. That is, in this three-week training, those who performed well in various trainings stood out one by one and were looked at by Yan Liqiang.

On September 16th, Yan Liqiang let the more than 800 young people hold a big competition, all of them rode rhinosaurus horses in batches, ran around a circle for 2,000 meters within the specified time, and shot 20 arrows at the target of 20 pot lids 100 meters away from the runway, and finally decided the winner with the results of archery, and after a day of competition, 200 of the 800 people with the best performance stood out at once.

This is basically a ratio of 4 to 1, the 800 people recruited by Yan Liqiang were originally more powerful than ordinary people, and the people who could be selected in such a contest were definitely the best among the young people, in Zhou Yong's words, the average combat power of these selected young people had definitely surpassed most of the ordinary soldiers in Pingxi City.

Yan Liqiang didn't think that he could use a month to cultivate any invincible iron cavalry, his purpose was just to make these people come in handy, and at a critical time, he could help himself contain the enemy for a while.

Yan Liqiang then fulfilled the reward he had promised, and sent 200 rhino dragon horses and 200 sets of armor and armor and war bow weapons, just when the 200 young people who had their own war horses, armor and war bows for the first time in their lives were extremely demoralized, Yan Liqiang took these 200 people in the name of training, riding rhino dragon horses, carrying bows and arrows, and disappeared into the night, and went straight to the border between Ganzhou and Yinzhou.

Accompanied by these more than 200 people, there are more than 30 four-wheeled carriages prepared by the Manufacturing Bureau and about 60 sergeants from the Manufacturing Bureau led by Zhou Yong, these more than 30 carts are pulling supplies, arrows, tents, and Yan Liqiang's spear of dragonspine steel, because the spear is too heavy, if Yan Liqiang holds the spear in his hand, the dark clouds and snow under his crotch will be pressed and he can't run, so the spear can only be taken away on the four-wheeled carriage.

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

......

At noon on September 26, Yan Liqiang took Zhou Yong, Shi Dafeng, Shen Teng, and Chang Kuan to lie behind the stone pile on the ridge of a valley, pointed to the slope that was less than 20 meters wide 300 meters in front of him, and spoke to several people. The following valley is a road from Yinzhou to Ganzhou, there are not many caravans on this road, because it is desolate here, there are often bandits in the past, but I judge that the soldiers and horses of the transfer Yamen will definitely take this road, because this road is the closest to Ganzhou, and this road can make the cavalry of the transfer Yamen less than 200 miles of road, saving the cavalry most of the time and effort of the cavalry, those people got the news and sent troops and horses to Ganzhou, they must be murderous, eager to fly over with wings, plus they are many, not afraid of any unsightly robbers on the road, so they will definitely take this road, we just set up an ambush here, kill them by surpriseWhen the ambush begins, the cavalry of the Yamen will find that the front and back roads in the valley are cut off, and they will definitely want to rush towards the mountain from here, your task is not to rush down and fight with them, but to help me hold this slope with bows and arrows, and no one will rush up to interfere with me, you just need to help me hold the time of half a pillar of incense here, and we will win this battle......"

Speaking of this, Yan Liqiang's heart suddenly throbbed, he raised his head, glanced at the sky without a trace, and saw that in the distant sky, a silver falcon flying from a distance was drawing eight characters in the air, after quietly retracting his gaze, Yan Liqiang took a deep breath, "The people from the transfer yamen are estimated to be here in the next two days, and we don't have much time, so let's get prepared!"
