Family Rise: Beginning with Grandfather

"What happened?" Yang Zhengshan stepped forward and asked.

When the soldiers suddenly saw Yang Zhengshan, they were all frightened.

At this time, Yang Zhengshan was wearing a cloth armor. Although it was not as good as Zhou Lan's golden lacquered mountain armor, he came on horseback with a dozen cavalrymen behind him. At first glance, he was an official.

"Sir, we are not deserters!" A soldier said tremblingly.

"What happened in the camp?" Yang Zhengshan asked again in a deep voice.

He didn't care if these were deserters, he just wanted to know what happened in the camp.

"We don't know, but suddenly a lot of Huqi rushed into the camp, and then we..."

Although the soldier didn't explain clearly, Yang Zhengshan could make a rough guess.

The camp was attacked by a surprise attack, and the camp was thrown into chaos, and the soldiers ran away.

The army was defeated like a mountain!

In the past half month, the army's attack on the city has failed, and coupled with the shortage of military rations, the morale of the soldiers has dropped to the bottom.

The whole camp seemed to be stretched on a string, and the atmosphere was tense and heavy. Now that the string was cut, it completely collapsed.

But Yang Zhengshan still couldn't believe it.

He didn't know the determination of the higher-ups of the army, nor what their considerations were, but he knew that the army under Zhang Shouwang was the elite of Chongshan Town, and with the fifth battalion of Zhenbiao present, it shouldn't have been defeated so quickly.

Town mark fifth camp!

wrong!

The left and right camps are not among the large army camps.

Now Zhou Lan is still leading the soldiers from Zhenbiao Zuoying to clear out the Hu cavalry who are disturbing the grain road.

However, Hu Qi went to attack the camp!

Is this to lure the tiger away from the mountain?

No, no, even without the left and right battalions, the main camp should not have been defeated so quickly.

The strength of the Hu tribe in the East China Sea is not large, and there are only 70,000 to 80,000 Hu knights in full. This still includes the Hu knights scattered among various tribes. If you only count the Hu knights around Fushan City, there are only one or two at most. Just ten thousand.

Why are there so many wild knights popping up now?

Yang Zhengshan's head was spinning rapidly.

The Hu tribe of the East China Sea summoned all the Hu riders in advance?

So what are the West Army troops led by Ji Feiyu, the deputy commander of Chongshan Town, doing? Aren't they clearing out those tribes?

Yang Zhengshan felt that his brain was a little insufficient.

There were many things he couldn't figure out.

This is not to say that he is not smart enough, but that he lacks too much intelligence information.

He is just a grain transport officer and has no access to high-level intelligence.

He didn't know very well what the top management decided and what the two sides were doing. He only knew that the army was short of food, and he was constantly delivering food and grass.

Other than that, he didn't have any accurate information.

Looking at the soldiers fleeing in twos and threes, Yang Zhengshan's eyes flashed with gloom.

No matter what the reason is, what is certain is that the camp has been breached!

At this glance, at least a thousand soldiers fled in a hurry, and there were even more behind them.

"go back!"

Yang Zhengshan didn't care about anything else.

He had no power to gather these defeated troops. His official position was too low. He was just the deputy commander of Zhenbiao Zuoying.

And even if he gathered these defeated troops, it would be useless.

Could he still lead these defeated troops to defeat those barbarian cavalry?

No kidding!

It is estimated that before he met Hu Qi, he was overthrown by these defeated soldiers.

There were not just ordinary soldiers among these defeated soldiers, there must have been people with higher official positions than him.

After galloping back, Yang Zhengshan stood in front of the grain team and looked around.

They definitely couldn't move forward now, but it seemed impossible to go back. He needed to find Zhou Lan first, but before finding Zhou Lan, he had to arrange the food team properly.

At this time, the food team had stopped, and the news that the camp had been breached had spread among the team.

The soldiers and civilians looked very panicked.

Fortunately, during this period, Yang Zhengshan established his prestige among the team. Although they were panicked, they did not do anything irrational.

"Sir, my lord is still in the camp!"

Before Yang Zhengshan could figure out what to do next, Zhao Desheng ran up to him crying.

Zhao Yuan!

Yang Zhengshan's head hurt even more.

Zhao Yuan is not only his immediate boss, but also his friend.

During this period of time, he got along well with Zhao Yuan. Although Zhao Yuan had some bad habits as a noble son, he never treated him with any embarrassment or neglect.

He didn't want to leave Zhao Yuan behind, but he couldn't seem to find Zhao Yuan now.

"We'll talk about it later!" Yang Zhengshan stopped Zhao Desheng's pleading and turned to Yang Mingwu and Yang Mingzhi and said, "You lead people across the river!"

In the past, it was naturally impossible to cross the Songyuan River, but now the Songyuan River is very shallow, and you can even walk on it in some places.

On the west bank of the river they would certainly encounter more routs, while on the east bank they should be spared much trouble.

"Here!"

After Yang Mingwu and Yang Mingzhi responded, they immediately led people to find a shallow place to cross the river.

They crossed the river quickly, but the rout came even faster.

As soon as they crossed the Songyuan River, thousands of broken troops came.

This result once again proved that the camp had been completely defeated, otherwise there would never have been so many defeated troops.

Yang Zhengshan ignored the fleeing soldiers and just told Yang Chengze, Yang Qinwu and others: "You three go to the front along the river and remember not to talk to anyone. If anyone wants to take the horse, you return immediately!"

"You three, go to the downstream to find Zhou Lan, she should be not far from us!"

"Others, follow me to guard the grain team!"

Yang Zhengshan ordered one by one.

At present, they must first ensure that the grain and grass are not lost, and then understand the specific situation.

If the Hu cavalry pursues them, they may abandon the grain and grass and escape first, but if the Hu cavalry does not pursue them, then he will wait for Zhou Lan to come.

Yang Chengze and others rode away on horseback, and Yang Zhengshan immediately asked the grain team to camp on the spot and put the grain carts on the periphery, but this time he did not let people unload the frames and prepared to set off at any time.

However, just as Yang Zhengshan arranged the circle, a team of cavalry rushed towards them.

The horses waded directly through the shallow river and stopped hastily in front of the grain team circle.

The leader was a bearded man wearing waist armor. He rode on horseback, his body straight, and asked loudly: "Which battalion are you from?"

Yang Zhengshan, who was comforting Zhao Desheng, followed the voice and frowned slightly.

What was coming finally came!

"Yang Zhengshan, deputy commander of the left battalion baggage team of the town flag, may I ask which battalion you are from?"

Judging from his attire, he was definitely not a small soldier, and there were hundreds of cavalrymen behind him. Although these cavalrymen looked a little embarrassed, it was not difficult to see that this was a well-equipped cavalry.

To be able to equip such a cavalry of a hundred people, he must be at least a thousand commander in Chongshan Town.

"I am Cao Han, the garrison commander of Anyuan Prefecture. From now on, I want you to act according to my orders!" Cao Han looked at Yang Zhengshan with a cold look.

Yang Zhengshan's heart moved.

Anyuanzhou City is located on the east side of Chongshanguan City. It is under the jurisdiction of Songzhouwei, the eastern route of Chongshan Town. It is an important pass city in the eastern area of ​​Chongshan Town.

Garrison is a military officer position of the fifth rank. It is mainly responsible for managing the general affairs, military pay and military rations of the army. It is considered the military chief of a garrison or a certain area.

His official position is naturally higher than Yang Zhengshan, but you, the garrison of Anyuanzhou City, can't control our town standard camp.

"Your subordinate has seen Lord Cao!"

"Please forgive Lord Cao, your subordinate is on a mission and cannot obey Lord Cao's orders!"

Yang Zhengshan refused without thinking.

He knew that something like this would happen. After all, he was transporting food and grass, and these defeated soldiers might target them if they had any ideas.
