"But there is one point, we don't have enough manpower, at each city gate, there should be at least 3,000 to 5,000 soldiers and horses, and our soldiers and horses are only in the early 2,000s." At this time, Ben Gongzi is not as optimistic as these people.

"It's okay, since it's a city defense, it doesn't have to be trained! The family soldiers are only successful, pull a group of young people, let them learn how to use crossbows, at most it can be useful in two or three days, as long as they can survive the first battle, it will be safe. Yang Gongshi smiled and winked at his brother. Yang Shidao smiled and nodded.

"Yes, we have a lot of tenants, and it shouldn't be a problem for a family to pull in three or five hundred young people." Li Shimin couldn't help but high-five. "And being able to take the opportunity to get them to train as well is a really good choice."

"Do you have a lot of crossbows in your arsenal?" I couldn't help but ask, if this is the case, then all the weapons of this son Yu Crisp are left in the mansion and used for garrisoning, anyway, you can go to the arsenal to lead, why should you use your own.

"In the arsenal, there are at least 30,000 crossbows, bows are about the same, about 50,000 pieces of armor, including about 8,000 pieces of iron armor, at least 100,000 long weapons such as spears, and there are almost 70,000 swords of all kinds, and 780,000 pieces of hand rows, that is, the least number of horse armors, that is, more than 3,000 pieces," Yang Shidao replied, this made my son very excited, grandma's, this can simply equip a country's army.

"Well, there are so many?" Liu Hongji couldn't help but smack his tongue again and again. "If this is done, it will be enough to form a hundred thousand elite divisions, and it will be enough."

Yang Shidao shook his head and said with emotion: "What is this, the year before last, there were 200,000 bows and crossbows, 200,000 pieces of armor, and more than 300,000 spears and the like in the arsenal, but after the first northern expedition to Goguryeo, this time the Son of Heaven went out and took a lot away, if there is left, it is less than one-third of the arsenal in its heyday." ”

"Originally, there were already 2,700 people, but if we want to make up more young and strong, I'm afraid we have to make up more, at least to be able to make a strong momentum." Chai Shao interjected at this time, which was recognized by everyone. Also, taking such a good opportunity, those tenants can ⊥ also feel the atmosphere of the battlefield, and they can also get the opportunity to train, which is equivalent to another guarantee for the strength in their hands.

"The younger brother has already sent five hundred troops, so he will send another five hundred young men to make up a whole number. No, you have to bother Senior Daoist Brother you go and talk to the arsenal, prepare more crossbows for us, anyway, it doesn't take too long for the crossbows to be familiar, so that these young people can not only make up the numbers, but also be able to help us at a critical time.

Ben Gongzi gritted his teeth and struggled, in fact, I have been trained for most of the year, and the trained tenant tribe has exceeded 1,000 people, but this is already the current limit of this son, after all, there are still some people left on the side of the house, well, there are still hundreds of young people, and there are horizontal knives, bows and arrows left behind, even if there is really a gangster gang who wants to rob my family, it is enough to crush them and chop them up.

As soon as Yang Shidao and his brothers threw off, they were a thousand young men, and Liu Hongji's gang clamored to bring in all the 1,000 ruffians and hooligans, but they were collectively despised by everyone, and in the end, they only accepted 300 saffron double stick thugs

And Li Shimin's family also produced 1,000 young men, plus the 300 young men of Chai Shao's family, there are 2,400 young men here, plus the original family soldiers, and finally made up a city garrison in the early 5,000s.

"Five thousand soldiers and horses are enough. However, we have to get the number of people in order quickly, and after a while, we can be thrifty and take people to find the trouble of the arsenal. Tang Jian stroked the short beard under his chin and said with a smile: "We can't be late, otherwise, it won't be good if all the good things are picked up." ”

After this discussion, they each rushed back to their respective mansions, naturally they wanted to put the number of people together, and when they returned to the mansion, Ben Gongzi saw that there were already five hundred elites in gray and black Qi State military uniforms standing in the front yard.

"Old butler, I'm afraid I'll bother you again, and I'll have to pick another five hundred people. The five of us want to defend the Changxi Gate in the north of the city, so we will get more young and strong, and the court will give us more bows and crossbows to prepare for defending the city, and we can strengthen my momentum. I nodded in satisfaction. Then he commanded Li Yan. "In addition, let them leave all their weapons and hand them over to the people left behind when the time comes, anyway, there are blades in the arsenal."

"Cheng, the old man will arrange it, you lead them over first, the old man has gathered enough manpower, and he will naturally bring them over to serve the son." Li Yan is still carrying out my orders very meticulously as in the past.

In a short time, the team of more than 500 people marched towards the Changxi Gate located on the northeast side of Luoyang City, and along the way, they encountered several soldiers of the noble family, and they were also heading towards the town guard that was arranged. All of them are energetic and murderous, and many of them still know each other, and they frequently say hello.

Pedestrians on the streets are much rarer than before. Even those pedestrians who appeared on the street at this moment were all in a hurry, and it seemed that the upcoming war had begun to affect the lives of ordinary people. Well, it has also affected the business of this son, since the first two days, the business of the hotel has been much sluggish, after all, at this time everyone is thinking about how to save their lives and wealth, how can they have time to eat and drink.

Finally rushed to the place where Shangchun Gate was, where there were no pedestrians for a long time, and Li Xuanba and Li Yaoguang were here, with hundreds of soldiers behind them, and it seemed that they had just arrived.

"Brother Shi, you're here, the city guard has just left, I didn't expect them to leave even one person, and all the 1,000 elites have been withdrawn." Li Xuanba said hello to me, and after rushing forward, he said with a stupid face.

"What's this, those soldiers, naturally they are going to reinforce the imperial city. Besides, these gates are not all the same, how can you guard them, do you still want them to command you? Li Yaoguang glared at his brother.

Hearing this, Li Xuanba scratched his head and laughed twice, and hurriedly urged his troops to climb to the top of the city.

"By the way, what about the virtuous brother of the world?" I asked Li Yaoguang.

"My second brother will go to gather the young people, no one knows when they will come, prepare early, and be safer." Li Yaoguang said with a smile.

"Also, I hope Yang Xuangan won't work too hard under Luoyang City, otherwise, I don't know how many people Lu Dao will lose." I nodded, looking back at the five hundred elites who were quiet behind me, and I couldn't help but feel a little unbearable in my heart, but what could I do? In this era, or in the future, as long as it is on the battlefield, there will always be losses, and this is the same even for American barbarians who are armed to the teeth.

"Don't be too sad, my father has a saying, as a martial artist, I should have shrouded myself in horse leather, or I should return to my hometown in fine clothes." Li Yaoguang seemed to sense my depressed mood, and moved closer to me, and persuaded in a low voice.

"Xie Lu Xie, I'm fine." For her kindness, I still feel very comfortable. And when Li Yaoguang's gaze fell on the five hundred elites behind me, his eyes couldn't help but light up, and his voice became more and more whispered: "I really don't know how they will behave if they go to the battlefield." ”

"I'm sure it's not going to be bad anyway." Ben Gongzi still has this confidence. The soldiers of this era, even if they are the elite of the Sixteen Guards, are at most a drill every three days, and the elite under the hands of this son, except for a few days off every month, are all the time they are crawling and struggling to train

I can say that if the same elite, after the training of this son, is at least more than a step higher than the soldiers of this era. That's where the strength and talent of the traverser lies.

"Winding...... Raise the crossbow, aim, release, wind...... Raise the crossbow, aim, release" With Li Yuanfang's powerful roar, a full two hundred subordinates, meticulously following Li Yuanfang's instructions, holding the crossbow, and making corresponding movements, but they are not using real crossbow arrows, but only bamboo sticks, no way, real crossbow arrows, if they were allowed to train like this, I am afraid that the enemy has not yet arrived, and they would have been shot out a long time ago.

Next, Li Yuanfang stopped yelling, and began to replace it with a bamboo whistle, each sound, representing an action, according to the rhythm of the whistle, the action of using the crossbow was disassembled into several individual items, making it easier for everyone to hit the rhythm when shooting.

And at this time, as the command flag in Zheng Chen's hand waved, two hundred more subordinates ran over quickly, joined the team, and lined up evenly in a row, standing on a straight line with the original two hundred subordinates.

"From now on, two consecutive shots, the first row is ready, and the second row is on standby......" As Li Yuanfang's roar sounded again, after the first group shot out, it took about a breath to shoot, the second row finished aiming and pulled the trigger, and after that, the first row that had been wound began to shoot again.

"It's still too slow, Yuan Fang, try it three times in a row." Ben Gongzi stood there commanding Ruoding Tunnel, and behind the buttocks, there was a vote of idle squirting children, well, in addition to those few fox friends and dog friends, there were also a lot of people who came from other city gates to exchange feelings, no way, anyway, the enemy has not appeared yet, and these guys who have not undergone strict military training can not be allowed to stay in one place all the time, so only the soldiers remained, and a few leaders, and the others were running around on the city wall all day long, and in the past two days, Ben Gongzi has become a place of great attention.

No way, who made me different, and what I couldn't do was that my part was too different. Everyone wears the same beautiful and handsome uniform, and they train every day, which makes most of them speechless, thinking that this son is idle.
