The First Killer God of the Tang Dynasty

After settling the payment, Chen Tao did not rush back to report.

"Zhang Baochang, the General said that the rebel army of Great Yan has been frequently moving around lately, and they are going out of Chang'an to gather information more and more often. He asked me to remind you to be careful in everything. In the future, we will be able to pacify the world together."

Zhang Yang nodded slightly, feeling a touch of emotion.

"Go back and tell the general that I have remembered, and also ask him to take care."

After seeing Chen Tao off, Zhang Yang took the thousand taels of silver directly home.

The main reason is that Zhang Yang's power is still relatively weak at present, and he doesn't have any kind of treasury or anything like that, so it's safer to keep the money at home.

When Liu Yun'er and Liu Qiao'er saw this huge pile of silver, their eyes widened in astonishment.

Liu Qiao'er swallowed hard and asked, "Is the deal done?"

Zhang Yang nodded.

This time, I have finally accumulated enough capital to conquer the world.

Having these alone is not enough; one must also have one's own land to support more soldiers.

"Yunniang, hide all this silver in the cellar or vegetable cellar, separate them, don't put them together."

Zhang Yang doesn't care about money, but he absolutely cannot afford any mistakes when it comes to his livelihood.

Liu Yun'er nodded, immediately divided the silver into smaller portions in a small bag, and hid them.

"Qiao'er, go to the training ground and call the brothers over. I have some things to arrange."

Recently, the rebel army of Great Yan has been frequently sending out spies to gather information, and Zhang Yang is also afraid that a war will break out soon.

We must capture Tuntian Fort before that.

In this way, Tuntian Fort became Zhang Yang's fortified stronghold, and he also had the powerful weapon of a recurve bow.

It could almost be said that one man could hold off ten thousand.

Even in the event of war, by hiding all the villagers in the garrison fortress, the easily defensible formation made it difficult for the few hundred-strong rebel army of the Great Yan to break through.

Liu Qiao'er nodded, got up, and ran to the training ground.

In no time, all the brothers arrived at Zhang Yang's yard.

They had just finished training, and were all soaking wet, but their eyes were filled with a murderous intent, completely different from before.

"Brother, just tell us what you need. The brothers have been itching for a good fight lately."

If it were a minor matter, Zhang Yang would never have gathered them all outside the courtyard to discuss it.

They went straight to the training ground and said that such a secret operation must be a military operation.

Zhang Yang's lips curled up slightly, revealing a wicked smile.

He wanted to hold back his brothers' anger and then unleash it all in the first battle.

After a long pause, Zhang Yang squinted and said, word by word.

"Attack the garrison fortress!"

Upon hearing this, the brothers were excited and eager to try.

The Uyghurs seized all their fertile land and massacred the villagers. The villagers were desperate for revenge.

The eldest brother finally breathed a sigh of relief and was about to fight back against the He people.

Then, Zhang Yang's expression darkened slightly, and he spoke with a cold and solemn look.

"Brothers, there are now more than a hundred soldiers guarding Tuntian Fort, about sixty of whom are Uyghurs and forty of whom are Longwu soldiers. We are outnumbered, and Tuntian Fort is easy to defend but difficult to attack. We can't fight them head-on, we can only outsmart them."

"Big brother, don't we have thunderbolts? Let's just blow them up."

Guo Shitou said with a disdainful look.

Zhang Yang sighed. His brother was good in every way, except he was a bit dim-witted.

"On the way to Tuntian Fort, there are Uyghur sentries and patrols. Are you going to blow them all up with thunderbolts? Can't you use your brain a little? If you alert the garrison in Tuntian Fort, they can fire arrows, but even if our thunderbolts are aimed perfectly, can you really throw them in from hundreds of meters away?"

Upon hearing this, Guo Shitou immediately wilted like a frostbitten eggplant.

"What should we do then?" Guo Shitou asked helplessly.

Zhang Yang ignored him and immediately began military deployment.

"Now, our forty-five people are divided into five teams. Xiao Lu will lead his grenade-throwing team, waiting for the right moment to strike. We can only throw when we are within a hundred meters."

Even though Zhang Lu was incredibly strong, the other team members didn't have his abilities.

One hundred meters is not enough; we need to advance to eighty meters, fifty meters, or even closer.

"I'll take a small squad, with some wine and food, to distract the patrolling soldiers and then take them out. Tiger and Stone, you two each take a small squad, sneak up behind Tuntian Fort and set it on fire. Remember, be careful, don't burn down the granary."

Guo Huzi chuckled.

"Don't worry, brother. With me keeping an eye on Brother Stone, nothing will go wrong."

Guo Shitou curled his lip.

"Only you can do that."

"The last squad, led by Wang Lie, mainly works with me using recurve bows after I make my move, advancing as far as possible to create opportunities for Xiao Lu's grenade-throwing squad."

Wang Lie nodded forcefully and said through gritted teeth.

"Don't worry, brother."

After the tactical arrangements were finalized, Zhang Yang gave further instructions.

"This afternoon, no one should go out. Sharpen your knives and calibrate your bows and arrows here to ensure the success of tonight's operation."

Everyone nodded, their eyes filled with undisguised excitement.

At this moment, his brother Wang Lie raised a question.

He frowned, looking troubled, and after a long while, he finally asked the question.

"Brother, we killed so many Uyghurs and Longwu Army soldiers this time. How are we going to explain this to the Tang Dynasty? Even if General Li Siye of the Modao Brigade supports us, we'll probably have a hard time getting past the Uyghur leadership."

Zhang Yang didn't care at all about this.

He laughed and said, "Have you forgotten our story about killing the Uyghurs? It was the damned Great Yan rebels who wanted to take over Tuntian Fort and seize the granary. We were just helping the Uyghurs repel the Great Yan rebels. Besides, the Great Yan rebels have been sending out spies frequently lately. How could they not be eyeing Tuntian Fort?"

Upon hearing this, everyone gasped in shock.

"If that's really the case, even if we take Tuntian Fort, it'll be a hot potato in our hands."

Wang Lie said with concern.

Zhang Yang, however, didn't care at all, and narrowed his eyes slightly.

"How can our defense be the same as that of those useless Uyghurs?"

……

In the city of Chang'an, at the residence of the Loyal and Brave General.

An Shouzhong was drinking wine and eating melon, pondering how to find the Mo Dao team's camp and wipe out Li Siye's Mo Dao team before the big battle.

Deputy General Xue Song hurriedly walked in.

He was also holding a structural diagram of Tuntian Fort in his hand.

"General, our scouts have found out everything and even captured the craftsmen who built the garrison fortress. This is the structural diagram of the garrison fortress; there are only about a hundred soldiers guarding it now."

Upon hearing that there were only one hundred garrison troops, An Shouzhong looked disdainful. After all, for a general like him who commanded tens of thousands of men, a small garrison town was hardly worth mentioning.

"You make the arrangements. Three hundred men. Start at dawn tonight, finish the battle before daybreak, transport the supplies back, and burn the garrison to the ground."
