Family Rise: Beginning with Grandfather

Then the two of them went down the mountain and returned to Linguanbao.

At this time, Linguanbao was very crowded. The temporary tents filled the training ground. The sheep sheds and pig pens in the garrison were all vacated to accommodate the war horses.

As for the pigs, sheep and chickens, those that could be killed were killed, and those that could not be killed were temporarily placed in the military households.

"Sir, this is the situation of food and supplies in the garrison!" Yang Chengze found Yang Zhengshan and handed a document to Yang Zhengshan.

Yang Zhengshan walked into the study and sat down by the stove, opened the document and glanced at it.

"It should be able to last for a month!"

Linguanbao did not originally store much food and supplies, but they also brought a lot of food and supplies when they came, so it should be no problem to last for a month.

"Well, the young and strong people that the lord asked me to select have also been selected!" Yang Chengze said again.

"How many people are there?"

"One hundred and twenty-three!" Yang Chengze replied.

There are one hundred military households in Linguanbao, and each military household has a regular soldier enlisted in the army. The rest of the people either farm or do something in the garrison.

Fifteen to forty years old are considered young and strong. It is not difficult to select one young and strong man from a hundred households in addition to one able-bodied man.

"Well, go and prepare. If the Hu tribe attacks, they need to help us defend the city!" Yang Zhengshan said.

Since he came to Linguan Fort, Yang Zhengshan had to make the worst plan.

Once the Hu tribe attacks, there must be more than three or five hundred soldiers, at least thousands, or even tens of thousands.

It may be more, but Linguan Fort is so big, even if there are more Hu tribes, they don't need so many people.

In the following days, more and more scouts were sent by the Hu tribe, and many scouts came to the vicinity of Linguan Fort.

At the same time, many scouts were sent in the city, and the scouts of both sides kept colliding and fighting around the city.

Yang Zhengshan also sent out scouts, but the scouts he sent out were only three miles away from Linguan Fort.

As for the two hundred cavalrymen under his command, they really couldn't afford to lose them.

In order to avoid casualties, he even ordered to retreat back to the fort immediately if they encountered Hu cavalry.

After all, the missions of the scouts he sent out were different from those of the scouts in Guancheng. The mission of the scouts in Guancheng was to scout the enemy, while his scouts were only to give early warnings to the garrison.

On this day, Yang Zhengshan was checking the map around Linguanbao in the study of the government office.

Linguanbao was only about ten miles away from Guancheng, but Guancheng could not be seen from Linguanbao because there was a mountain blocking the two.

If the Hu people wanted to attack Linguanbao, they had to bypass this mountain and come from the north.

At present, it can be confirmed that the Hu people already knew the existence of Linguanbao. After all, so many scouts on the other side were not vegetarians, and they should have already investigated the situation around Chongshanguan.

As for whether they would attack Linguanbao, Yang Zhengshan could not be sure.

Linguanbao was not a big city, and it did not have much strategic significance. It was reasonable for the Hu people to ignore it.

But then again, how could others sleep peacefully in the place where you sleep?

The Hu camp was only more than ten miles away from Linguanbao. At such a close distance, the Hu army should not ignore the existence of Linguanbao.

Just when Yang Zhengshan was wondering whether the Hu tribe would come, he suddenly heard a gong sound outside.

The clang clang clang sound was so rapid that Yang Zhengshan trembled all over.

No need to think, the Hu tribe is coming!

Yang Zhengshan walked out of the study quickly and ran into Yang Chengze.

"Sir, the Hu bandits are coming, and there are more than a thousand of them!"

Yang Zhengshan's face sank slightly, "Mingwu!"

"I'm here!" Yang Mingwu ran out of the room next door while tidying up his clothes and armor.

Last night, he went out for inspection in person, and he had just slept for more than an hour when he was awakened by the sound of the gong.

"Pass the order down, prepare to defend!"

Yang Zhengshan gave an order and walked quickly towards the tower behind the garrison.

Climbing the tower, he saw a cloud of dust rolling in the north, and the whistling cold wind carrying a heavy and murderous atmosphere pressed over.

At the same time, the rapid sound of bamboo clappers and bronze drums was struck in the fort, and the soldiers gathered and came to the wall they were responsible for guarding according to the previous arrangement.

They all looked serious. After waiting for so many days, the enemy finally came.

This battle will be a real hard battle. No one can be sure whether they will live or die.

However, they are not afraid in their hearts, because their defense officer is with them.

Especially the soldiers in Linguan Fort, they have an additional responsibility to guard than other soldiers.

They have experienced the massacre of the Hu cavalry, and finally got a place to settle down and live a stable and peaceful life. They will not allow anyone to destroy their homes or hurt their families again.

Yang Zhengshan stood on the tower and observed the surging Hu army. They were mixed with infantry and cavalry, and the number was about 1,500.

In front of the army, there were teams of Hu cavalry that had arrived near Linguan Fort. They ran around Linguan Fort and stopped to shout from time to time.

"Listen, Rong dogs inside, if you know what's good for you, come out and surrender!"

"Cowardly Rong people, our masters have already made it clear that those who surrender will not be killed, and their families will be safe!"

"Those who surrender will not be killed, and their families will be safe!"

The shouts reached the garrison, but did not cause any commotion. All the soldiers seemed not to hear them, staring closely at the running Hu cavalry.

Surrender!

The military households in the garrison had all been persecuted by the Hu people, and they had a blood feud with the Hu people.

As for the soldiers brought by Yang Zhengshan, their families are not here. If they dare to surrender, their families will be punished and the whole family will die.

Besides, most people around don't have such thoughts. Even if there are one or two who are afraid of death, they dare not bring it up.

About two quarters of an hour later, the army of the Hu tribe came to the outside of Linguan Fort and slowly gathered one mile north of Tunbao.

More than 1,500 enemy troops, looking from a distance, are a black mass, which still looks very scary.

Not to mention other people, even Yang Zhengshan is facing so many enemies for the first time.

The original body has participated in the Battle of Black Cloud Mountain, facing nearly 100,000 Hu troops, but at that time the original body was just a soldier. He could only see his comrades and enemies in front of him, and he really hadn't seen a large group of enemies.

"Sir, do you want to light the beacon?"

Yang Chengze asked in a low voice.

The purpose of lighting the beacon is to convey messages to the city, but Yang Zhengshan estimated that the city would definitely not care about Linguan Fort at this time.

He didn't know what plan Changping Hou Liang Chu had, but he knew that Liang Chu would not change his plan because of a garrison.

Even if Liang Chu's plan was just to defend Chongshan Pass, he would not come to support Linguan Fort.

"Light it up!"

Yang Zhengshan thought about it and decided to light it.

Regardless of whether Chongshan Pass would come to rescue, he at least had to let Chongshan Pass know the situation here.

Soon, two beacon smoke rose from the beacon tower in the garrison.

Yang Zhengshan turned his head and looked in the direction of Chongshan Pass.

Unfortunately, the mountain blocked him and he could only see a corner of the wall of the pass.

Retracting his gaze, Yang Zhengshan looked at the Hu army opposite with a calm face again.

According to the Hu army organization, 300 people are a Niulu, and five Niulu are a Jiala, led by a Jiala Ezhen.

This should be a reorganized Jiala in front of him.

Unlike the suspected Jiala Ezhen who fought in Yinghe before, there must be a real Jiala Ezhen here.

The Hu tribe on the opposite side obviously knew the military deployment of Chongshan Town very well. For example, a garrison like Linguanbao has a circumference of only two or three miles, and there are usually only one or two hundred soldiers in the garrison.

They brought an army of fifteen thousand, which should be easy to break through this garrison.

But they didn't know that Yang Zhengshan was also in Linguanbao, and he also brought five hundred soldiers.

If they knew in advance, they might send more troops.

But now even if they knew, they would not ask for help.

Asking for help before the battle, do their Jiala'e really have no face?

Jiala'ezhen on the opposite side only took a glance and saw that there were more than one or two hundred soldiers in Linguanbao.

Of course, he would not feel dissatisfied or angry about this, but would feel happy instead.

The more Ronggou in the garrison, the greater the credit they will get after breaking through the garrison, and the more war items they will get.

The key is that he finally got the opportunity to fight this time.

Thinking back to when they came to Chongshan Pass last year, tens of thousands of people stayed in the tents for more than a month, but they didn't see any blood, while others entered the territory of Darong and slaughtered and plundered wantonly. Now he felt depressed when he thought about it.

Now he finally had the opportunity to take action, and he naturally didn't want anyone to share his credit and spoils.

He laughed loudly and brought a group of cavalry to the foot of Linguan Fort.

"Listen, people inside, I am Borha, the third-class lord of Darling Kingdom. Now I order you to come out and surrender immediately, otherwise when this lord attacks the fort, you will be destroyed together with the jade and stone, and you will live a life worse than death!"

"You must think clearly, don't regret it!"

He shouted loudly in the direction of the tower.

"Darling Kingdom!"

"Third-class lord!"

Yang Zhengshan listened to his words and looked at each other.

Not only him, but also Yang Mingwu, Yang Chengze and others standing beside him were puzzled.

"The Hu people have established a country!"

Yang Zhengshan could only think so.

In the past, the Hu people did not have a country name. They lived in scattered tribes. About thirty years ago, the seven major tribes of the Hu people reached an alliance, jointly built Fushan City, and formed a tribe elder organization similar to a parliament to jointly discuss Hu affairs.

Under the leadership of the tribe elders' parliament, the Hu people developed rapidly. In just over a decade, they became the biggest hidden danger on the border of Darong.

With the improvement of strength, ambitions also expanded. The Hu people finally couldn't help but raised their butcher knives to Darong.

Unfortunately, they underestimated the strength of Darong. Needless to say, after a war, the Hu people were silent for twenty years.

At that time, the Hu people did not establish a country, nor did they have a real leader.

But now they have established a country, which means that they must have a king.

A unified kingdom must be more difficult to deal with than a scattered ethnic group.

More importantly, this king can not only unify the scattered Hu people, but also make the silent Hu people rise again. It can be seen that he is an extremely capable person.

"What is the Daling Kingdom?" Yang Chengze couldn't help asking.

They couldn't even think of establishing a country.

Whether it is a dynasty or an imperial dynasty, it is not something that can be established casually.

And even if you want to establish a dynasty, it is not something that can be established just because you say so.

Without the recognition of the surrounding imperial dynasties, the dynasty you established is a joke.

It is because the Hu people are barbaric and do not know these things, so they gave themselves the name of Da Ling.

"No matter what he is, let's shoot him first!" Yang Mingwu raised the pistol in his hand.

They were very fond of Yang Zhengshan's pistol throwing, and they practiced a lot on weekdays. Now Yang Mingwu could no longer suppress his eager hands and wanted to shoot the arrogant guy outside.

"Don't worry, let's see what they do next!" Yang Zhengshan stopped Yang Mingwu's reckless behavior.

It was his first time to defend the city, and he also wanted to take the opportunity to experience it and gain experience.

If he scared this guy away with a shot, it would be a loss.

Jiala Ezhen!

Haha, he was very interested.

The previous one was just suspected to be Jiala Ezhen, and he had not yet verified the other party's identity.

And the one in front of him was not only Jiala Ezhen, but also a third-class lord who was conferred by someone unknown.

Lord!

It should be a title.
