Family Rise: Beginning with Grandfather

The night sky was quiet, and before I knew it, the eastern sky had turned pale.

When the morning star was dim, another speedboat arrived at Xingyue Island.

"Report, the enemy is 20 miles away, and it is expected to arrive in half an hour!"

In the government office, the navy soldiers in charge of scouts came to report.

In the main hall, Yang Zhengshan sat in the main seat, Zhang Juhai and Zhu Yanshan sat on the left, and the three brothers Yang Mingcheng, Yang Mingzhi, and Yang Minghao sat on the right.

Li Chang and Wang Lei stood outside the door, leaning on the pillars of the corridor with indifferent expressions.

As for the other followers, they were not here at this time, but were distributed in various places in the city.

In this battle, Yang Zhengshan planned to lure the enemy to the island to fight, but he didn't want Xingyue Island to suffer too much loss, so he dispersed everyone.

The yamen runners brought by Yang Chengche and Yang Qinwu to the government office were dispersed to various coasts on the island, organizing the young and strong on the island to prevent the enemy from landing on the island from other coasts.

Ding Qiu led the guards and followers of the Yang family to lead the young and strong men in the city to disperse on various streets in the city.

Although the soldiers of the Xingyue Navy were not on the island, and although the guards of the Yang family business had gone out to sea for trade, the power of Xingyue Island was still extremely terrifying.

Any young and strong man in his twenties or thirties on the island was a warrior. If he was over thirty years old, he was likely to be a warrior of the fifth or sixth level of the acquired realm. If he was over forty years old, one or two out of ten were warriors of the eighth or ninth level of the acquired realm.

"Let's go, let's go out and wait for the guests from afar!" Yang Zhengshan stood up and said calmly.

Everyone also stood up and walked out of the door together.

Walking out of the government office, there was a street leading directly to the dock. The street was built with bluestone, two feet wide and about two or three miles long, with shops on both sides.

At this time, the streets and alleys were full of young and strong men holding weapons. They were in groups of three or five, or more than a dozen people gathered together, looking at Yang Zhengshan and his party calmly.

The people living in the city are different from the people in the villages and towns. The people in the villages and towns have four sources: the islanders who originally migrated from other islands, the southerners who migrated from Fuhai Province, the tenants and slaves of each family in Darong, and the military households who migrated from Tenglongwei.

The people living in the city are all children of various families, including the Yang family, the Luo family, the Zhen family, the Yu family, the Xie family, the Wu family, the Han family, etc. Although these families are vassals of the Yang family, they are now large families with a solid foundation.

With long-term drinking of spiritual spring water, the strength of these family children will naturally not be too bad.

Zhang Juhai looked at the crowd on both sides of the street and was secretly surprised.

As an innate strong man, although he could not clearly see through a person's cultivation, he could guess roughly from the breath.

Those young men with a calm breath were known to be acquired warriors at a glance.

My, how many acquired warriors are there?

If the innate warriors are the pillars of a force, then the acquired warriors are the potential of a force.

Only with enough acquired warriors can a force be guaranteed to last for a long time.

Especially young acquired warriors, they are likely to become innate warriors in the future.

Zhang Juhai was shocked by the number of acquired warriors on Xingyue Island, and even more shocked by the age of these acquired warriors.

Of course, this was when he did not notice how many innate warriors there were on Xingyue Island. If he knew how many innate warriors there were on Xingyue Island, he would probably be so shocked that his jaw would drop.

The group came to the north of the pier. They did not enter the pier, but walked on the street north of the pier.

Yang Zhengshan stood quietly with a heavy black iron spear in his hand, stroking his beautiful beard calmly.

The breeze blew, lifting his beautiful beard, but the soft and beautiful beard was not messy at all, and even had a smooth and bright look.

Well, this beard was so shiny after he combed it.

Yang Mingcheng stood behind him, stroking the black iron spear in his hand lovingly.

Yang Zhengshan had a new gun, so he passed the black iron gun to his son.

Yang Mingcheng was so happy to get the black iron gun that he didn't fall asleep for three days.

Yang Mingzhi and Yang Minghao looked at the black iron gun in his hand with envy.

It's not that the black iron gun is so good. For them now, the black iron gun is just so-so. The long guns they use are all forged by Zhu's earth fire steel, which is no worse than the black iron gun.

The key is that this is Yang Zhengshan's previous weapon. Whoever Yang Zhengshan gives it to is his preference.

Although Yang Mingcheng is a bit stupid, Yang Zhengshan has always favored him. Even his own son is not as good as this cheap eldest son in Yang Zhengshan.

There is no way, who let his own son run away from home.

Hum~~

Thinking of Yang Mingzhao, Yang Zhengshan was furious.

He didn't go home for the New Year, so he had to beat his own son into a fool.

The morning breeze was gentle and a bit cool, and waves were surging on the turbulent sea.

In a blink of an eye, the fiery red sun had jumped out of the horizon, and a black shadow appeared with the rising sun.

The morning light shone, and the warships were connected together, approaching Xingyue Island in a mighty manner.

"Here they come!" Yang Mingzhi had already seen the enemy's warships.

At the same time, on the flagship of the Giant Whale Navy, Chang Lin, Xiang Anxu, Wen Qing, Hou Fangjin and others also saw Xingyue Island.

Chang Lin looked unremarkable, his back was slightly hunched, and he was leaning on a cane made of the roots of the sacred tree in his hand, and a wooden hairpin with green leaves was inserted on his head.

There are a pair of sunken triangular eyes on his face with a rough face, which gives people a feeling of being old and frail. At the same time, his eyes are a bit sinister. If you look into his eyes, if you are not determined enough, you will easily feel frightened.

In comparison, Xiang Anxu looks much more upright, with an upright posture, ruddy face, sharp eyes, and a sharp and upright appearance.

"The Xingyue Island is ahead!" Hou Fangjin said in a deep voice.

Wen Qing glanced at Xiang Anxu and said softly: "Act according to the plan. Remember that our goal is to subdue Xingyue Island, not to destroy Xingyue Island!"

He has no good feelings for the people of Shenmu Sect. If they had not come from afar and needed the cooperation of Shenmu Island, the local snake, he would not be willing to cooperate with Shenmu Sect at all.

And he is also very clear about the style of Shenmu Sect. This is a group of cruel lunatics, cruel to their own people and even more cruel to outsiders.

Hou Fangjin laughed with a bit of coldness, "Don't worry, everything is ready!"

As he said that, he waved his hand behind him.

Then, the two navies that had originally gathered together immediately separated. The Giant Whale Naval Force continued to sail towards the southern pier of Xingyue Island, and the boats of the Shenmu Sect separated and sailed towards the northern part of Xingyue Island.

They wanted to subdue Xingyue Island, but they did not intend to negotiate with Xingyue Island in a peaceful way.

Subdue, first of all, is deterrence. Since they want to deter, they must fight a battle to show their strength.

In this battle, they want to hurt Xingyue Island and force Xingyue Island to surrender. Only in this way can they truly subdue Xingyue Island and make Xingyue Island completely for their use.

The Giant Whale Naval Force gradually approached the pier of Xingyue Island, and soon they found that there was no figure on the pier.

"No one, they won't hide!" Hou Fangjin chuckled.

"Hide? Where can we hide?" Wen Qing said lightly: "They want us to fight on the island!"

"That's perfect, haha, just in time for a good fight!" Hou Fangjin laughed even more happily.

Fighting on the sea is somewhat inconvenient. If they fight on the island, it will be more conducive to their display of force.

There are not many places along the coast of Xingyue Island suitable for large ships to dock. There are many reefs in the east and north, and shallows in the west. Only in the south can docks be built to dock large ships.

If the Giant Whale Navy wants to land on the island to fight, the most suitable place to land is the dock in the south.

If they land on the island from other directions, they have to change to small boats.

Wen Qing is naturally not afraid of landing on the island. He directly ordered: "Send an order, enter the port, and fight on the island!"

Dozens of large ships immediately approached the dock of Xingyue Island.

Soon their flagship headed straight for the dock, and the situation on the street behind the dock was also presented to them.

Xiang Anxu, who had been silent all this time, suddenly asked, "Why is Zhang Juhai here?"

Wen Qing immediately stepped forward and saw Zhang Juhai standing next to Yang Zhengshan. Well, he didn't know Yang Zhengshan, but Yang Zhengshan was standing in the front at this time, so he naturally guessed Yang Zhengshan's identity.

"He is here to cause trouble for us!" Wen Qing's face was a little ugly.

Xiang Anxu's face remained calm, "Master Chang, you come to deal with Zhang Juhai, just need to hold him back!"

Yang Zhengshan has taught Chang Lin a lesson, and they all know that Chang Lin is not Yang Zhengshan's opponent.

Xiang Anxu believes that he is stronger than Zhang Juhai, but their goal is not to kill Zhang Juhai, but to subdue Xingyue Island, so he must personally subdue Yang Zhengshan.

No mistakes in one sentence, one post, one content, one 6, one book, one bar!

As for Zhang Juhai, he is just a troublemaker, and he only needs to be held back.

When he takes down Yang Zhengshan, Zhang Juhai will not be able to cause trouble.

Chang Lin nodded silently.

In front of Xiang Anxu, he, the high priest of the Shenmu Religion, still had to be a head shorter. There was no way, because he was stronger than himself.

While they were talking, warships had already docked at the dock, and hundreds of soldiers from the Giant Whale Navy landed on Xingyue Island.

However, they did not rush to launch an attack, but waited for Xiang Anxu and others to get off the ship.

And Yang Zhengshan and others did not stop them from landing on the island, just quietly watching the large ships docked at the dock.

To be honest, the strength of the Giant Whale Navy is still very strong, and they have a lot of large ships.

There are sixteen ships equivalent to the big blessing ships, and there are more than forty medium-sized warships, and there are even more small warships, a total of three or four hundred.

Large and medium-sized ships need to dock at the dock, while those small warships can find the shore and land on the island at will.

In the blink of an eye, dense small warships covered the southern shore of Xingyue Island.

The first place where the battle broke out was not the dock, but the sentries on the south bank.

The small warships of the Giant Whale Navy came ashore and immediately found the young and strong men gathered around the sentries.

The horns sounded and the whistles sounded.

"Kill!"

Dozens and hundreds of soldiers of the Giant Whale Navy rushed towards the young and strong men of Xingyue Island.

The fierce battle started immediately.

The sentry post was actually a two-meter-high bamboo building. The first floor could store supplies, the second floor could be used for living, and there was a shed on the bamboo building to shelter from wind and rain.

The small bamboo building could provide a rest for three or five people, and there were no defensive facilities around it.

The yamen runners and the young and strong men gathered here, actually fighting against each other in the field.

There were about four or five hundred young and strong men at each sentry post. There were four sentry posts on the south bank, six sentry posts on the north bank, and three on each of the east and west banks.

There are only more than 30,000 people on Xingyue Island. There are only about 20,000 people scattered in the villages and towns, excluding the elderly, women and children, and there are only 5,000 to 6,000 young and strong people in the villages and towns.

Most of the young and strong are on the north bank, guarding against the enemy landing on the island from the north bank. Because there are docks and Xingyue City on the south bank, only less than 2,000 young and strong are mobilized from the villages and towns.

As for the east and west banks, even small boats are not suitable for landing on the island, so there are more than 100 young and strong people on each bank to guard.

Seeing more and more enemy ships approaching and more and more enemies rushing in, the young and strong around the sentry posts immediately became nervous.

"Don't panic, don't be chaotic, form a formation to resist the enemy!"

Yang Qinwu looked at the rushing enemies calmly and shouted in a cold tone.

There are 300 yamen runners in the government office. Although they are yamen runners, their strength is not much at all. Many of them were the guards of the Yang family in the past.

And half of these yamen runners are now distributed in various sentries, and they are the ones who lead the young and strong to meet the enemy.

Soon, the two sides collided.

The sword and shield soldiers standing on the periphery of the young and strong blocked the enemy's attack, and the spearmen behind immediately stabbed through the gaps in the rattan shields, and some young and strong men in the back threw javelins.

In the blink of an eye, dozens of enemies died in front of the circle.

The giant whale navy of the Tarot Dynasty is indeed elite, but how elite can the elite of a dynasty be?

How high can the proportion of warriors be?

Most of the soldiers are just ordinary people.

The young and strong men of Xingyue Island are all warriors, even if these young and strong men are just farmers who have undergone basic training, they are all real warriors.

At first, the young and strong men were still panicked, and the spears they stabbed out were still a little messy, but soon they found that the enemies in front of them were much weaker than themselves.

They were not as strong as themselves, and their reactions were not as fast as themselves. They could dodge every attack.

This discovery immediately excited the young and strong men, and they became calm and excited from panic.

"Kill!"

Some people have already started shouting.

Many young men actually launched a counterattack, changing the defensive formation to an offensive formation.

However, they lacked training, and the formation became chaotic once it was changed, but fortunately their individual strength was far superior to the enemy. Although the formation was a bit chaotic, they still defeated the enemy.

Of course, casualties were inevitable.

On the battlefield, swords and guns have no eyes. Even if you can see six directions and hear eight directions, you can't guarantee that there will be no mistakes.

As soon as the formation was messed up, many young men were injured, but this also aroused the bloodiness of the young men.

Afterwards, there were people among them who were responsible for treating the wounded. The lightly injured continued to rush forward, and the seriously injured were directly dragged to the bamboo building behind.

Yang Qinwu looked at the messy formation and was a little speechless, but he also knew that this situation was inevitable.

The young men in front of him could not obey orders at all. The only advantage was that they were all warriors.

In this situation, too much command would make them even more chaotic. On the contrary, it would be better to let them play on their own, because their individual strength is strong enough, and it is easier to play their strength in a chaotic battle.

So Yang Qinwu no longer reorganized the formation, but let them charge and kill at will.

Of course, charging and killing at will does not mean to do it randomly. The young and strong men all maintained the organization of the team to charge and kill, and the real person in charge of the command was the team leader of each team.
