The First Killer God of the Tang Dynasty

The reason An Shouzhong was so furious was ultimately because Shi Dingguo was a rare and capable general under his command.

Although he was only a centurion, An Shouzhong wanted to groom him to become a future general.

Moreover, those twenty-odd soldiers were all valiant and skilled cavalrymen.

How could An Shouzhong accept dying like this!

"Xue Song, immediately gather a thousand elite cavalry! I want to raze Guo Du Town to the ground!"

Xue Song immediately stopped the enraged An Shouzhong and waved for the messenger soldier to leave.

"General, do not act rashly. Guodu Town is just a small town; sending thousands of cavalry would be too much of a fuss. Moreover, there is a military camp of the Tang Dynasty and the Uyghurs near Guodu Town. If they come to our aid, we will easily be put on the defensive. Perhaps this is also a trap to lure us in."

An Shouzhong was, after all, a first-rate general. After Xue Song's analysis, he quickly calmed down.

They then quickly arrived at the map.

He muttered to himself, "This could absolutely not have been done by Li Siye's Mo Dao (陌刀) team."

After all, as the trump card of the Tang Dynasty, the Mo Dao team would never make a move for a mere twenty-odd Yan cavalrymen.

"Even the Dragon Martial Army doesn't have that kind of guts."

At this moment, An Shouzhong's gaze fell on the Tuntian Fort in Guodu Town.

He pointed in that direction and asked.

"Xue Song, where is this place?"

"Tuntianbao: The Tang Dynasty granted thousands of acres of fertile land in Guodu Town to the Uyghurs. They built watchtowers here, firstly to monitor the movements of our Chang'an, and secondly to protect the thousands of acres of fertile land. There is also a sizable granary here."

Upon hearing this, An Shouzhong's eyes lit up.

He burst into laughter.

"We've searched high and low without finding it, but it's right here in our hands without any effort. In the entire Guodu Town, besides the Uyghur soldiers here, who else would dare to attack our Great Yan's cavalry? Even if it wasn't them, it would be them!"

An Shouzhong turned to look at Xue Song.

"Xue Song, I'm giving you five days to thoroughly investigate the forces and weaponry of this Tuntian Fortress, and to devise a complete battle plan. We must take this Tuntian Fortress, this major granary of the Uyghurs!"

"Your humble servant obeys!"

……

a few days later.

Zhang Yang led his brothers in training at the training ground, their battle cries shaking the heavens.

The brothers have begun combat training; although they are using wooden swords, they are still capable of injuring people.

Zhang Yang wasn't indifferent to this, but he had no other choice.

After all, real combat was just around the corner, and Zhang Yang had to make sure these country bumpkins were truly capable of fighting on the battlefield.

Otherwise, if we fight the enemy, we will easily suffer losses.

"Give it your all! If you don't take him down, he'll take you down. On the battlefield, it's a fight to the death!"

Just as Zhang Yang was on his inspection, several members of the Mo Dao team suddenly appeared before him.

"Brother, the leaders of the Mo Dao team have arrived," Guo Shitou reminded him.

"You guys continue, Stone, you stay here and keep watch."

After saying that, Zhang Yang immediately walked towards the members of the Mo Dao team.

Zhang Yang had met the man before; he was Chen Tao, a centurion under General Li Siye, accompanied by his subordinates.

Chen Tao cupped his hands in greeting: "Greetings, Chief Zhang."

Logically speaking, Chen Tao, a centurion of the Mo Dao squad, should not be bowed to Zhang Yang, a mere centurion.

However, Zhang Yang's fighting prowess is truly astonishing.

He admired Zhang Yang from the bottom of his heart.

"Captain Chen, you're too kind. Did you check on the progress of the wolf-tooth rake before you came?"

The other party nodded: "The General is a bit anxious. The training personnel are all ready, only the weapons are missing. If the General drags on for too long, the soldiers won't be familiar with the equipment, and then..."

Zhang Yang smiled and gestured for them to proceed.

"This way, please."

Then, Zhang Yang led Chen Tao toward his finished goods warehouse.

On the way, Chen Tao became extremely interested in Zhang Yang's training methods.

He chuckled and said, "Zhang Baozhang's training methods are quite unique; I've never seen anything like them before. They certainly build morale and increase firepower, but they can also easily lead to soldier injuries."

Zhang Yang sighed.

He explained, "There's no other way. The recruits are different. The Mo Dao team consists of elite soldiers handpicked from the border troops of the Tang Dynasty. They have extremely high military skills and can go to the battlefield after a certain amount of training. But my brothers, although they all know a little martial arts, come from poor backgrounds and haven't received systematic training. They have to be trained in this way. Besides, I'd rather they live a peaceful life than die on the battlefield."

Upon hearing Zhang Yang's training methods and philosophy, Chen Tao couldn't help but feel a deep sense of respect.

Furthermore, they became extremely curious about Zhang Yang's identity.

"Did Zhang Baochang serve in the border army before?"

As soon as the question was asked, Zhang Yang sensed a probing intent.

However, he already had an explanation for this.

"No, I've always been a farmer in the village. How could I possibly join the border army? If I had that experience, I would have joined the Mo Dao team long ago."

"That's strange. To be honest, Zhang Baochang's methods and philosophy for training troops are something that ordinary generals simply couldn't achieve. So you are..."

Zhang Yang quickly replied.

"A few years ago, I was hunting in the mountains when I accidentally fell off a cliff and found a military book. It contained a lot of knowledge, which is what I learned from it."

Chen Tao looked as if he had just realized something.

With a look of admiration, he said, "Zhang Baozhang is truly a peerless genius, self-taught. Moreover, his aura has deepened; only you could have such an experience. It's truly enviable."

Zhang Yang gave a wry smile.

What are you envious of?

How should I explain it to myself?

I can't possibly say that I'm a special forces king who came from another time, can I?

At this moment, the two slowly walked to the front of the warehouse.

One after another, wolf-tooth spears appeared in front of Chen Tao, their sharp tips gleaming and radiating a cold light.

The branches, covered with layers of sharp thorns, were even more dangerous.

With its extra-long pole, the enemy's weapons cannot harm its own side, but it can effectively kill the enemy.

What shocked Chen Tao the most was that so much had been accomplished in less than seven days.

"Zhang Baozhang, so many! How did you manage to make all of that?"

Zhang Yang smiled faintly and said with a proud expression.

"The power of the masses."

Chen Tao was stunned; it was the first time he had ever heard this term.

"These weapons were made by the people of Guodu Town together. They're really nothing special. I've reinforced the poles with tung oil, so ordinary weapons can't break them. You can use them with peace of mind."

Chen Tao gasped.

It's unbelievable that Zhang Yang has developed such organizational and leadership skills in such a short time. His future is limitless.

"All five hundred items are here. You can find a vehicle to take them back later."

Zhang Yang said with a smile, and Chen Tao nodded repeatedly, moved to tears.

Zhang Yang then gave Chen Tao a book, "The Art of War with the Wolf Spear," which he said. "Take it back and give it to the General. It explains how to use the wolf spear and how to arrange troops in formations. It's very clear."

Chen Tao was stunned for a long time before he could utter a single sentence.

"You are truly a celestial being."
