Chapter 10 A Preliminary Exploration of Gaotang Prefecture

"Tang Bin, you go to the front to find out if the people of Liangshan have already taken Gaotang Prefecture."

Dong Ping looked at the city in the distance, jumped down from the tree, adjusted the black windbreaker on his body, and said to Tang Bin on the side.

Tang Bin didn't answer, just nodded slightly, and with a gust of wind, but in a few breaths, his figure had reached dozens of meters away.

Dong Ping leaned against a nearby tree and rubbed his sore mind, but his heart was a little irritable.

It has been five or six days since I left Dongping, and judging from the words of the fugitive villagers in the vicinity these days, the war between Liangshan and Gao Lian has been going on for quite some time.

Since Gongsun Sheng has no spells in this world, it is naturally impossible for Gao Lian to have it, since the two sides can stalemate until now, Gao Lian must still have any hole cards in his hand.

The most important issue now is that the firewood must be collected in front of Liangshan.

This top-level intelligence master can easily infiltrate the palace, gain Fang La's trust, and have a good ability to lead, if you want to succeed in the future, such a talent is indispensable!

With his own ability, it should not be a problem to enter Gaotang Prefecture to rescue Chai Jin.

The question is, how can Song Jiang solve it? If Chai Jin is taken away like this, Song Jiang will never let himself leave safely, you know, now the two have the same purpose.

The only difference is probably that Song Jiang fell in love with Chai Jin's huge family property accumulated over several generations!

Dong Ping thought about it, but decided to change his plan, after all, the people here are unfamiliar, and the movement is too loud, in case the imperial court sends troops to come, it will be difficult to solve it.

After about an hour, I saw a figure in the distance shuttling quickly between the trees, and in a moment I arrived nearby, and between the lightning and flint, a strong wind had approached Dong Ping's pupils.

"Huh."

Dong Ping laughed secretly, his body suddenly shifted to the left, and he avoided this attack, the man was shocked, and was about to stop, but a fine light flashed in Dong Ping's eyes, and his right arm smashed out with a punch like a dragon exploring the sea, and the man didn't have time to make another move, so he had to instinctively protect his head with his arms.

"Bang!" The man was hit by a strong force, and his body rolled in the air for a full circle, but fortunately, he was not a mediocre person, and with a retraction in the air, he had landed smoothly on the ground in a blink of an eye.

"Hehe, the eldest brother deserves to be a good skill." Tang Bin smiled awkwardly, "I'm far inferior." ”

Dong Ping said with a smile: "Where is it, if my brother takes a weapon, I may not be an opponent, by the way, what happened to let you investigate?"

Tang Bin put away his smile and said with a serious face: "I just walked around Gaotang, and I saw a row of large camps camped about twenty miles outside the city, although there are some traces under the city, but it is not obvious, it really does not look like a place where the two armies fight to the death."

"You're saying that the two sides didn't fight on a large scale?" Dong Ping frowned slightly, "How many people are in Song Jiang's camp, and how many are the leaders of Liangshan?" ”

Tang Bin said: "There are at least six or seven thousand people in Liangshan, and the leaders are Lin Chong, the head of the leopard, Xiao Li Guanghuarong, and Qin Ming, who are all famous figures in the rivers and lakes, and Wu Yong is a military advisor."

"By the way, the grain and grass in the Song Jiang army are ten miles away, and there are three leaders, Lin Chong and Lu Fang Guo Sheng, who are personally stationed with eight hundred men and horses, in my opinion, even if Gao Lian finds out, it is impossible to take it." Tang Bin paused and added.

"This person deserves to be called a general." Dong Ping sighed twice in his heart, the most important thing in fighting a war is naturally logistics, Tang Bin can notice this, it is not simple.

And Wu Yong can attach so much importance to it, and he also lives up to the name of Zhi Duoxing, although Gao Lian can't think of a tactic to sneak attack grain and grass.

But if Song Jiang wants to save Chai Jin, he must be racing against time, why did he stop in this city?

However, this gave me time, Dong Ping laughed secretly in his heart, and took advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to rescue Chai Jin first.

"In addition, I heard Liang Shan's soldiers vaguely talk about words such as "Circular Bagua Array" and "One-word Long Snake Array" in the army," Tang Bin thought for a while, and then said: "I have never heard of such strange formations, so I have never taken countermeasures."

"Circulating Bagua Array?"

As soon as Dong Ping heard these words, his heart exploded like a boulder smashing on the ice!

Compared with the invincibility of the world during the Three Kingdoms, Zhuge Liang's circulating gossip array in the Water Margin is still majestic, and only Zhu Wu, Gongsun Sheng, and Wuyan Yanshou are proficient in the whole book.

If others are unfortunate enough to run into them, they will have to wait for death.

"How could this Gao Lian be this long-lost "circular gossip array"? ”。” Dong Ping's heart suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, in fact, with the development of the times, this gossip array was not a shocking thing in the Song Dynasty.

Many generals can set up a gossip array, and even Xi Sheng, the military advisor under Wang Qing, can also know a rough idea!

However, these "gossip arrays" have only learned the surface of Zhuge Liang!

The real circular Bagua Array relies on the method of circular rotation and transformation, no matter where the enemy enters, the internal formation changes endlessly, making people like falling into the clouds, and being divided and annihilated by the soldiers and horses in the formation!

If according to the current popular gossip array, once the enemy army touches the right order of entry and exit, then you will become meat on the board and be slaughtered by others!

And this Gao Lian will actually "circulate the gossip array", which is obviously a bit abnormal.

"Okay, let's go to the city to explore first, and when we finish the task, we will think about breaking the formation."

After Dong Ping finished speaking, he took out a crossbow arrow from the package, and lightly pulled the trigger with his right hand, only to hear a sound of breaking the air, and a black dot had disappeared in the air.

Tang Bin was puzzled: "Big brother, there are no birds above here, what are you shooting into the air?"

"Hehe, don't worry." Dong Ping smiled and said, "We'll know later."

Before the words fell, I saw a black shadow falling rapidly, and when they landed, the two stepped forward to see, but it was a huge eagle!

"How is that possible?" Tang Bin almost shouted, he didn't find this kind of bird at a cursory glance just now, and the flight altitude was at least more than 100 zhang!

Let's not talk about accuracy, what is the origin of the crossbow machine in Dong Ping's hand? Can you shoot to this height?

"This is the Golden Goose Crossbow." Dong Ping raised the crossbow machine in his hand, "A friend of mine who is good at equipment is transformed from the Divine Arm Crossbow, which is equipped with fifteen crossbow arrows, and the range can reach about 700 steps when flat. ”

Dong Ping's fluttering words shocked Tang Bin.

He was also born in martial arts, and he had no choice but to fall into the grass last year, so naturally he would not be unaware of the existence of the divine arm crossbow.

The Divine Arm Crossbow came out during the Shenzong period, several decades ago, and had long been heavily equipped in the imperial army.

And although the range of this Golden Goose Crossbow is slightly inferior to that of the Divine Arm Crossbow, its accuracy is terrifying.

This crossbow is naturally not made by others, Dong Ping used to be interested in ordnance construction in the army, since coming to the Northern Song Dynasty, he has been looking for materials, a few days ago when passing by a blacksmith shop, he accidentally found a good kind of iron, which can withstand modern high-precision crossbows and stable frames.

However, without modern machine tools, such crossbow arrows could not be assembled by hand!

Just when Dong Ping was irritable, the "forging" column in the system was constantly glowing.

After clicking in, I saw a line of small words displayed on the light screen: the system is no longer in normal use, if you need an emergency, please provide raw materials and assembly structure drawings.

"This broken system can't let me save snacks!" Dong Ping scolded twice, but he could only honestly draw painfully from memory.

After more than ten days of all-night hard work, Dong Ping finally drew a blueprint of a composite crossbow, and after putting the drawings and materials into an assembly machine in dimensional space, when he saw that the green light finally lit up in the system, Dong Ping almost collapsed from exhaustion.

But that's it, the broken machine has to operate it itself! Yes, you have to do it yourself!

This crossbow is good at everything, the only drawback is that the production process of this thing is too complicated, and I am almost so tired that I vomit blood in the past few days, so I can barely make one!

"This crossbow is good, but there is only one after all." Dong Ping put the crossbow into the package, and said: "I just hope that it will succeed in one fell swoop when the time comes, okay, let's go first and go to this Gaotang Prefecture."

Tang Bin nodded, and the two took out the prepared costumes and pretended to be merchants from other places entering the city.

At noon, the two had already arrived at the gate of the city, and at this time, because the Liangshan army had withdrawn twenty miles away, Gao Lian ordered the resumption of normal entry and exit from the city, but the inventory was thousands of times stricter than in the past.

"Anyone who enters the city will enter the city after the official inspection is completed!" An officer stood at the gate of the city, shouting in an arrogant tone.

"That person must be Yu Cheng." Dong Ping said secretly, "I don't want to be so strict now, how can this be good?" ”

"Where are you?"

Dong Ping was thinking about countermeasures, but he had already arrived at the gate of the city, Yu Chengzheng looked at this side and walked over scolding.

Tang Bin said with a smile: "If you go back to your lordship, we are all businessmen from Cangzhou, and we are here just to make a living."

"Merchant?" Yu Zhi turned around the two of them, his eyes kept looking up and down, "What bullshit businessmen, I think you look like martial arts!" Say, what is the purpose of coming to Gaotang! ”

Rub!

Dong Ping's eyes suddenly revealed a killing opportunity!
