Chapter 28 The fight between the two is a war
"Should we go into the mountains ahead of time?"

In the shabby courtyard at the entrance of Yangjia Village, Yang Zhengxiang's old face showed unconcealable fatigue and anxiety.

Yang Zhengshan wiped the tip of his gun, shook his head slightly, and said, "It's not the right time yet."

He already knew that the Hu cavalry that had entered Dayong were all small groups.

If it was a large army attack, they would have no choice but to hide in the mountains.

But if it was just a small group of Hu cavalry, Yang Zhengshan thought it was worth a try.

It’s not that he wants to take risks with the villagers of Yangjia Village, but for the villagers of Yangjia Village, it is hard to leave their homeland.

Even though some people now want to flee south and some people want to hide in the mountains in advance, in fact most people do not want to leave Yangjia Village.

Once they left Yangjia Village, if the Hu cavalry attacked, they would definitely burn down Yangjia Village.

Even if the Hu cavalry retreats in the future, it will be difficult for the villagers of Yangjia Village to survive.

Moreover, the mountain roads are difficult to travel on. Although Yangjia Village has made preparations in advance, the food transported to the mountains is still limited. Most of the food is still in each household. How can they survive if they lose these foods?

That's why Yang Zhengshan wanted to do his best to defend Yangjia Village.

Yang Zhengxiang had the same thought, but he was a little flustered. He was afraid that the decision he made was wrong, so he couldn't help but hesitate.

"Zhengshan, if I unfortunately die this time, the Yang family will be handed over to you!" Yang Zhengxiang suddenly said in a deep voice.

Yang Zhengshan raised his head suddenly, his eyes gleaming with brilliance, "Chief, the village needs you to take charge!"

If he just wanted to use Yang Zhengxiang to integrate into the Yang family before, now he really recognizes Yang Zhengxiang.

Yang Zhengxiang is a man of conviction and responsibility, and he places the interests of the Yang family in an important position.

Such people deserve respect.

"I'm old. To the Yang family, you are more important than me!" Yang Zhengxiang said softly.

Yang Zhengshan remained silent.

Who is more important?
This topic is not a very good one.

He is not a noble person, his heart is full of selfish emotions.

To be honest, he really couldn't devote his life to the Yang family.

Not to mention the Yang family, even if it was everyone in the Yang family, he would probably find it difficult to protect them with all his might.

After all, he is not the original Yang Zhengshan. He has feelings for the Yang family and the Yang clan, but his feelings are not deep enough to sacrifice his life for it.

But suddenly, he had this urge.

Perhaps it was because of Yang Zhengxiang's encouragement, or perhaps he had the passion in his heart to take the lead.

Yang Zhengshan stood up slowly with his gun in hand.

The iron spear shook, bursting with energy and pierced into the earth wall next to it.

There was no cracking, no dust, and the spear tip sank into the earth wall like it was stabbing into sand.

"No matter what happens in this battle, I will do my best." Yang Zhengshan said lightly.

Yang Zhengxiang stared blankly at the gun tip that had sunk into the earth wall.

"Energy!"

"Refined strength, or acquired strength?"

He twisted his neck stiffly and looked at Yang Zhengshan.

"There is still some distance until the day after tomorrow!" Yang Zhengshan said softly.

Yang Zhengxiang trembled all over, exhaled suddenly, and said in surprise and joy: "My Yang family is going to produce a post-natal warrior?"

"Hahaha~~"

He laughed loudly, as if dispelling all the anxiety and fatigue in his heart.

Yang Zhengshan also smiled faintly.

But soon the smile on Yang Zhengxiang's face disappeared.

"If you want to live, you haven't become a post-natal warrior yet!"

He hoped that a post-natal warrior would appear in the Yang family. There was a huge difference between post-natal warriors and body-building warriors. Body-building warriors were only the lowest level of warriors. Although they had a certain status among the people, they were still just ordinary people.

But it is different for acquired warriors. If a warrior in the body-building realm is equivalent to a scholar, then an acquired warrior is equivalent to a juren and jinshi, and can serve as an official in the court.

In the military, the lowest starting rank for a post-natal warrior is a centurion, a sixth-rank military officer.

If Yang Zhengshan can really become a post-natal warrior, it will be a great thing for the entire Yang family.

Therefore, Yang Zhengxiang really doesn't want Yang Zhengshan to take any risks. He hopes that Yang Zhengshan can safely become a post-natal warrior and protect the Yang family's development and growth in the future.

It has to be said that Yang Zhengxiang worked very hard for the Yang family, but unfortunately Yang Zhengshan did not agree with his ideas.

"What is martial arts? Martial arts is the struggle between two things. The practice of martial arts lies in the word 'struggle'. Struggle with the sky, struggle with the earth, struggle with people. As long as life lasts, the struggle will never stop!"

"Stability may allow me to gradually enter the acquired realm, but it will ruin my future path in martial arts!"

"Chief, do you want a warrior in the acquired realm, or a warrior with unlimited possibilities in the future?"

Yang Zhengshan said seriously.

This is his understanding of martial arts during this period.

Ultimately, martial arts is the way of violence.

Things like retreat and meditation are not what warriors should do.

Yang Zhengxiang stared at Yang Zhengshan blankly, his emotions churning.

After a long while, he sighed and said, "I was wrong. I have lost the competitive spirit of a warrior!"

"You're right, but I still hope you can protect yourself."

"The future of the Yang family depends on you!"

Yang Zhengshan raised the corners of his mouth slightly and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Patriarch, I was born into the Yang family and will be a member of the Yang family all my life!"

He was not talking nonsense, his original body was born in the Yang family, and he was also born in the Yang family, but the two "born in" had different meanings.

No matter what happens in the future, he will never be able to leave the Yang family.

Here, leaving the clan is an extremely bad thing. It will ruin a person's reputation and make him the object of ridicule by the world.

Since Yang Zhengshan has already integrated into the Yang family, he naturally has no intention of leaving.

"That's good!" Yang Zhengxiang nodded with satisfaction.

At this moment, a figure suddenly rushed into the courtyard and shouted loudly: "Grandpa Zhengshan, it's bad, there are Hu cavalry appearing in the back mountain!"

The two people who were talking were shocked, and Yang Zhengshan's heart suddenly rose.

What should come has finally come.

The two looked at each other, and Yang Zhengshan said coldly: "Let's go and take a look first!"

After saying that, he put the cloth bag containing the pistol on his back, held the iron gun in his hand, and strode out of the dilapidated courtyard gate.

Yang Zhengxiang ran towards the old locust tree in the center of the village in two steps.

A moment later, a series of clanging metal knocking sounds were heard in Yangjia Village, and the whole village was plunged into busyness and panic as if it had exploded.

Several middle-aged men quickly ran to the entrance of the village, carried out the barricades that had been prepared long ago, and blocked the road into the village.

Yang Minghui led the trained young and strong men to prepare for defense. The young and strong men who went out for patrol also returned and joined the defense team. Only Yang Mingzhi and others on the back mountain did not come back.

"What's going on?" Yang Zhengshan asked when he reached the top of the mountain.

"Dad, it's over there, look!" Yang Mingzhi pointed to the north and said in a low voice.

Yang Zhengshan looked over and a strange look flashed in his eyes.

It is true that some Hu cavalry entered the back mountain, but they were not heading for Yangjia Village. Instead, they came here because of the battle.

Standing on the top of the hill, I could clearly see two armies fighting.

The scale was not large, with the Hu cavalry having about two to three hundred people, while the border troops had only about a hundred people.

However, the situation of the border troops did not seem to be very good. Facing an enemy that was twice their number, the soldiers fought and retreated, and only then did they lead the Hu cavalry to the back mountain of Yangjia Village.
