The First Killer God of the Tang Dynasty

Several Longwu soldiers were so frightened that they immediately stood still and slowly turned around.

He looked terrified, head down, not daring to utter a sound.

Zhang Yang stepped forward, looked them over, and then calmly said.

"If you want the paper armor, then become my brother, Zhang Yang. Go back and tell the brothers of the Dragon Martial Army to prepare for battle seriously. After defeating the Black Flag Army, every member of the Dragon Martial Army will have a set of paper armor."

Upon hearing this, the eyes of several Dragon Martial Army soldiers practically lit up.

He nodded vigorously, his face full of gratitude.

"Rest assured, Your Excellency, we will prepare for war diligently and will not let you down."

Zhang Yang narrowed his eyes slightly, revealing a kind expression.

"Let's go back."

Afterwards, the Dragon Warriors returned to their camp in high spirits.

At this moment, Wang Lie approached and said in a deep voice.

"Big brother, these Dragon Warriors are all tough guys, why are we giving them paper armor?"

Zhang Yang smiled faintly.

He said earnestly, "Because we can't always just have these hundred or so brothers. This time, when we fight the Black Flag Army, we're bringing the Dragon Martial Army along. Firstly, it'll give us more help, and secondly, it'll allow us to see which members of the Dragon Martial Army are still full of passion and which are cowards."

Wang Lie suddenly realized and said with a smile.

"Brother, you're the best!"

"Nonsense, why don't you become my older brother?"

Just then, Guo Shitou and his group quickly returned to the military camp and headed straight for Zhang Yang.

He dismounted and said impatiently.

"Brother, the rebels' supply convoy will arrive at Guodu Town in less than a day."

In an instant, Zhang Yang's eyes were filled with murderous intent.

"Alright, let's set up defenses east of Guodu Town, capture the Black Flag Army in one fell swoop, and make a name for ourselves throughout the Tang Dynasty!"

"Brother, should we inform General Li Siye and ask him to lend a hand?" Guo Shitou asked.

Zhang Yang shook his head slightly.

"No, even if ten members of the Mo Dao Brigade come, everyone will still think the Mo Dao Brigade won the battle. If we want to earn respect, we must defeat the Black Flag Army with our own strength!"

Upon hearing this, Guo Shitou nodded vigorously, knowing that this battle was one where only victory was allowed and defeat was not an option.

"Alright, everyone go and prepare. Wang Lie, go and inform the Longwu Army to set off with us."

"promise."

About half an hour later, Zhang Yang led his brothers to the training ground, where a thousand members of the Dragon Martial Army also gathered.

The soldiers in the Dragon Martial Army had different expressions.

Some people were beaming with excitement, as if they were about to avenge their previous defeat.

Some people remained calm, seemingly not taking the battle very seriously.

Another group of people looked dejected, as if their parents had died.

Zhang Yang witnessed all of this.

Zhao Fuliang walked over, looking helpless, and asked.

"My lord, are you sure you want to raid the rebels' supplies? You've heard of the Black Flag Army's fighting prowess, even if you haven't witnessed it firsthand. They're the kind of force that dares to go toe-to-toe with our Tang Dynasty's Mo Dao Brigade. Are you really confident you can..."

Little did they know that Zhang Yang completely ignored Zhao Fuliang.

He roared angrily, "Anyone who dares to say they are afraid to fight will be killed without mercy!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Fuliang, who had already experienced the might of Qin Yunjun, immediately shut his mouth.

"Everyone, let's go!"

The army then marched eastward toward Guodu Town.

Behind the crowd, Zhao Fuliang rode a tall horse, his eyes filled with malice, muttering to himself.

"Zhang Yang, you asked for it, don't blame me."

The location wasn't far to begin with, and it took the army about half an hour to reach the ambush position.

Having already studied the terrain, Zhang Yang waved his hand and gave the order.

"Distribute all the shovels and pickaxes."

Then the brothers unloaded the carts that were pulling shovels and picks from the back and distributed the shovels to the Dragon Warriors.

The Longwu soldiers were completely bewildered.

Some even asked on the spot, "What does this mean? Why are we being given this stuff? To farm? Supervising officer, aren't you underestimating our Dragon Martial Army?"

Instantly, the army was in an uproar.

Zhang Yang's gaze turned cold, and he roared, "Anyone who dares to disobey military orders will be executed!"

"I'm giving you shovels so you can dig trenches. Dig a wide and deep trench ahead, set a trap, and the Black Flag Army's warhorses and supply wagons will get stuck and unable to advance. At that time, seize the opportunity to attack and win by surprise."

Everyone suddenly realized.

After all, they had never dug trenches before.

Hearing Zhang Yang say this, he instantly understood most of it.

At this moment, a junior officer in the Longwu Army shouted, "What are you all standing there for? Get to work and start digging!"

Zhang Yang stepped forward and walked up to the leader, asking in a deep voice.

"What's your name?"

"Yuchi Xin. Since the lord has given us this opportunity to shine, the Longwu Army certainly cannot fail. We have enough shame and burdens on our shoulders; we must wash them all away in one go."

After saying that, he began to dig the trench seriously.

Zhang Yang nodded in satisfaction and patted Yuchi Xin on the shoulder.

He wanted a man like Yuchi Xin.

Afterwards, Zhang Yang gathered the brothers from Guodu Town together and arranged tactics.

"After the enemy's warhorses were trapped in the trenches, the archers attacked first."

Wang Lie cupped his hands in greeting and said in a deep voice, "Don't worry, elder brother."

"After they are attacked, they will definitely head for the archers. The Thunderclap Squad will appear and throw all the Thunderclap Bombs. I mean, throw all the Thunderclap Bombs at once."

Zhang Yang never cared about weapons; in his eyes, his brothers' lives were the most important thing.

Zhang Lu nodded.

"Don't worry, big brother, I'll handle this."

"After these two waves of attacks, those who are going to lose their composure will lose their composure. The remaining wolf-brush squad will charge out, with the rest of the brothers following closely behind. The wolf-brush squad should focus on luring the enemy into their formation, with assassination as a secondary objective."

The two captains of the Wolf Brush Team, Guo Shitou and Guo Huzi, clasped their hands in greeting.

"Don't worry, brother."

Qin Yun took a deep breath. In his opinion, with this kind of layout, the Black Flag Army should be able to take it down.

After all, it was a dimensional reduction attack, and it was the first time it had been used against them, so the other side would have a hard time resisting it.

Just then, Wang Lie's expression suddenly turned serious.

His brows were furrowed, as if he had something on his mind.

"What's wrong, Wang Lie? Is there something you want to say?"

At this point, Wang Lie voiced his doubts.

"Brother, Zhao Fuliang, Sun Xing, and over a hundred Dragon Martial Army soldiers did not come along."

Upon hearing this, everyone present was greatly surprised.

Zhang Yang was also slightly taken aback, his heart filled with unease.

"That Zhao Fuliang!"
