Chapter 531 The Power of the English Longbow
"Soldiers! These days, is the military salary I am going to give you sufficient?"

Yuan Tan has the strength of nine oxen and two tigers, and now he has stimulated and absorbed all of them. He does not need any loudspeakers. He stands directly on the city gate and let out a low growl. The sound is like thunder, and it is directly transmitted to each of the soldiers below. in the ears.

The ordinary soldiers didn't notice anything, but the five captains couldn't help but secretly clicked their tongues after hearing this.

Although the soldiers in the North knew about Yuan Tan's military exploits, they still had some doubts about Yuan Tan's feat of defeating the Xiongnu by Wanqi.

Unlike the princes outside, they felt that Yuan Tan was falsely reporting his military achievements, or that he took the credit of other generals to himself.

After all, the Huns really ran away. The soldiers guarding northern Xinjiang hadn't seen the Huns for several years.

The whole thing is that the Wuhuan people came to fight Caogu!
So Yuan Tan's results are real!
But it is precisely because the soldiers in northern Xinjiang have seen the brave posture of the alien race in the grassland when they fought, so they also suspect that it is impossible for Yuan Tan Wanqi to defeat the Xiongnu!

The bravery of the Huns has cast a shadow over the hearts of the soldiers in northern Xinjiang.

And these captains happened to be veterans who fought bloody battles against the Huns, Xianbei, and Wuhuan in person.

But at this moment, hearing Yuan Tan's voice like Hong Zhong's voice, these captains' original doubts about Yuan Tan's terrifying record became a little shaken.

Among other things, the voice alone is so moderate, Qi Hou himself, I am afraid that he is really as the rumors say, he is an undeserved brave general!
The captains had a lot of thoughts in their minds, but they still didn't miss Yuan Tan's question.

As soon as Yuan Tan's voice fell, the five captains took the lead and led five thousand soldiers and shouted in unison: "Go back to Qihou, there has never been a shortage, we will be grateful for Qihou's kindness from generation to generation!"

"I don't need your admiration from generation to generation!'

Yuan Tan had already learned the skills of dealing with these rough guys when he first entered the battle.

He didn't say anything polite at all, and just laughed and cursed: "As long as you eat my food, you can go to battle for me and kill the enemy. Can you do it!"

Yuan Tan's laughing and cursing not only did not arouse the disgust of the soldiers, but made the soldiers of Ji Town below feel more friendly to Yuan Tan.

Hearing Yuan Tan's words, the soldiers of Ji Town below all agreed again, and this time there was no need for the captain to take the lead.

He shouted directly: "Please rest assured!"

"I must die for Qi Hou!"

"Kill all the Wuhuan dog thieves!"

There were all kinds of shouts and shouts, and Ju Shou above heard a little frown.

After all, he was from a family, and even though he had participated in battles, such a scene still made Jushou a little unbearable.

On the contrary, Yuan Tan looked indifferent, and when he heard the responses from the officers and soldiers below, the smile on his face grew stronger, and he said: "There is no basis for what you say, there are still a hundred thousand Wuhuan thieves entrenched in Beiping City. Let me ask you, are you afraid?"

Hearing that Yuan Tan finally mentioned the Wuhuan people in Beiping.

The voices of the soldiers below who were still boiling suddenly stopped, and they looked at each other in blank dismay.

Are you scared?
How could you not be afraid?
If before Liu Ying's arrival, all the soldiers in Ji Town had enough food and armor, they would definitely not be afraid.

But now?

Although they have been raised for more than half a month, if nothing else, everyone's armor is already rusty!
Even his physical strength is a little short, that is to say, Junhou's daily food is sufficient, and the oil and water are quite abundant.

Only in this way can they be raised and maintained for daily training.

But if you really want to go out of the city and fight with a hundred thousand Wuhuan cavalry in the field.

The soldiers of Ji Town, to be honest now, are definitely invincible.

but……

When I think of the hard work that Yuan Tan has put into the soldiers of Jizhen after his arrival, and the land equalization order that has been issued and even implemented.

Pan Gui and the other lieutenants in the lead took the lead in raising their arms and said, "Don't worry, Qi Hou, we will surely live together with the Wuhuan thieves! Also please give orders, if we want to take back Beiping, I will be the vanguard!"

Well, Pan Gui and the others thought that Yuan Tan picked them out on purpose.

It is to prepare to send troops to fight back and take back Beiping and Xiangping, the two important frontier towns captured by the Wuhuan people.

Hearing Pan Gui's call, the soldiers of Ji Town, who were still struggling at first, were no longer struggling.

What the chief officer said was plain and straightforward, but it was the voice of the soldiers of Ji Town.

That's right.

Jun Hou spent so much money to support us, and even issued an order to equalize the land.

Even if we die on the battlefield, our children don't have to worry about everyone taking care of us.

Then what are we afraid of?
To go into battle and kill the enemy is to serve the Lord's kindness!

At that moment, the five thousand soldiers all agreed, leaving Yuan Tan speechless.

He waved his hands and scolded with a smile: "What are you thinking nonsense, you are all my soldiers who spend a lot of money and food, how can you let you go to death so easily? Let me guard you honestly!"

Hearing Yuan Tan said that there is no need to go out of the city to attack Beiping, Pan Gui and the others below breathed a sigh of relief.

They are not afraid of death, but what they are afraid of is sending death in vain.

Five thousand armored soldiers, to be honest, attacking Peiping without proper cultivation is really no different from sending them to death.

Now that they don't have to die, Pan Gui and the others seem to have taken a reassurance, and immediately feel relieved.

Seeing that Yuan Tan was not as lofty as he had imagined, Pan Gui below even had the courage to ask, "Dare to ask your lord, what mission do we have?"

Hearing Pan Gui's question, Yuan Tan smiled slightly and said, "Of course, and it's a heavy responsibility. The task of guarding Ji Town falls on 5000 of you!"

After Yuan Tan finished speaking, Pan Gui and the others below were stunned.

There are only 5000 of us, how come the task of guarding Ji Town falls on us?

Seeing Pan Gui and others staring at each other, I don't know what to say.

Yuan Tan smiled lightly and said, "Come here, open the city gate and let the soldiers get their equipment!"

With a bang, the soldiers who had already guarded behind the city gate opened the city gate immediately, and one after another black boxes were pushed in front of them under the transport of vehicles.

"Open the box, and each person has a longbow!" Yuan Tan continued.

Pan Gui and the others hurried forward, and quickly distributed the longbows, looking suspiciously at the new weapons in their hands.

Is this longbow able to defeat the enemy?
Yuan Tan didn't explain too much, anyway, the next five thousand freshly baked Jizheng archers will be assembled for training.

After they really saw the power of the longbow, they naturally knew why they were so confident that they let 5000 of them guard Ji Town.

After distributing the longbows, Yuan Tan walked directly down from the city gate and led Pan Gui and other five thousand soldiers and horses towards the vacated space around the Ji Town camp in the city.

That open space was purposely built by Yuan Tan in the past two days as a shooting range for longbowmen to practice bow and arrow shooting.
