Seeing this, Aguta and the others were taken aback, and a few of them stepped forward to touch the rock in a daze, and tapped it lightly with their hands, and one said, "This, this is really a stone." ”

"That's right! It's a stone, such a big slab, it can be cut with a sword!"

"Wouldn't he be able to cut off the stone door at the entrance of the cave?"

Several people were talking.

Ah Guda was shocked and said: "Dugu Daxia, just now we thought that you had encountered an accident, we couldn't enter and we couldn't get in, and we couldn't move this stone slab, so we thought about going back the same way to see if we could cooperate with the brothers outside to remove the big stone that sealed the entrance of the cave......"

Dugu Yan said: "There is no need to explain, whether you want to find the treasure or live in secret, it's all up to you." Advance, you may lose your army and lose your life, or you may find an unprecedented treasure, enough for you to expand your army, recruit soldiers and horses, and fight against the Liao army. Retreat, you can return to the Jin Kingdom unharmed, return to your own tribe, but you have to continue to endure the bullying of the Liao Kingdom, whether to advance or retreat, you can make your own decisions! But I hope that after you make a decision, you will not hesitate again, otherwise I will leave you here. ”

Ah Guda pondered for a while, and said: "Enter, of course I have to enter, I would rather die here than let my clan down, let alone be bullied by the Liao people anymore." Dugu Daxia, it turns out that I have the ability to open the stone door of the cave from the beginning, but I was stupid and failed your determination, I'm sorry, Ah Guda is here to make amends for you......"

As he spoke, he knelt on the ground, kowtowed to Dugu Yan, got up and said, "Brothers, let's go!"

Everyone saw that Dugu Yan was so capable, and they not only had determination for the treasure, but also had confidence in getting out alive.

Continue to go up the stone steps, the foothold becomes narrower and narrower, and at the same time the angle is larger, the mountain is steeper, fortunately there is a black hole here, there is no torch shining and you can't see your fingers, everyone will be able to see more than ten meters away by the faint light of the fire, otherwise some brothers who are afraid of heights will not be able to continue moving forward at all.

Everyone followed behind Dugu Yan, I don't know how long they walked, and they heard the sound of gears again, but this time nothing happened, probably when Dugu Yan destroyed the crossbow arrows just now, some of the gear sets in the hole were also destroyed, so the trap did not work.

walked up for a while, although occasionally encountered some crossbow arrows, but Dugu Yan stood in front and took the lead and destroyed them all, so Ah Guta and the others could pass safely.

The steps suddenly disappear in front of you, replaced by a flat land.

Dugu Yan walked forward cautiously, and several traps were successfully cracked by him, and then there was a bright light, dazzling white light, and a faint wind in the distance, which was undoubtedly the exit.

The brighter and brighter it became, everyone was beaming, and finally looked forward to the light.

Out of the cave, the people put out the torches. The outside of the cave is wide and abnormal, like a flat horse farm, the ground is paved with flat bluestone, smooth as a mirror, looking at the distance, it is more magnificent.

Strangely shaped instruments, iron, copper, and wood, these strange creatures were neatly arranged, like majestic soldiers.

Dugu Yan walked in and took a look, only to realize that these strange-shaped guys were all well-made killing weapons that could be used on large-scale battlefields.

In front of the many instruments, there is also a high pavilion similar to the Dianjiangtai, on which a small grass hut is built.

Everyone followed Dugu Yan's footsteps and went up to the high platform, on both sides of the platform there were all kinds of weapons, and a gossip map was hung in the small grass house, on which the good fortune of the soldiers was recorded in detail.

There is also a secret room behind the picture, which is very narrow and has bookshelves on which more than a dozen books fall. Dugu Yan took a cursory look at it, and the content of the book was roughly divided into two parts, one was the manufacturing drawings of the equipment used in the march and battle, including the strange things outside.

Those strange weapons are called crossbows, which are long-range weapons invented by Li Jing, a general in the Tang Dynasty, who have killed enemy generals thousands of kilometers away and deterred Hu soldiers.

There are also weapons that are more powerful and more complex.

The other type talks about how to arrange troops and how to attack skillfully, which is called the art of war.

This art of war is different from Sun Tzu's Art of War, and the records in it are more direct, not as general as Sun Tzu's Art of War, and more practical.

At this time, under the high platform outside, someone couldn't help but press the transmitter of the crossbow, and the crossbow was fired, and sure enough, the speed was unexpected, and the distance shot for miles and more, Duguyan couldn't help but feel amazed.

What he feared even more was the art of war, the so-called Thirteen Chapters on Weapons, which talked about the use of soldiers and the use of machinery. The content in it is not all created by Gao Changgong, but the essence of the history he collected.

Dugu Yan collected the art of war chapter in it, leaving only the mechanical chapter for Ah Gu and said: "If you defeat the Liao State one day and have the intention of invading the Central Plains, then the second half of the art of war chapter can kill you." ”

Although Ah Guda was unwilling, he had seen Dugu Yan's swordsmanship, and he expected that everyone on his side was not Dugu Yan's opponent combined, so he could only hold back silently, practice thanks, and said: "Don't dare, thank you Dugu Daxia for your help, if he can really destroy Liao in the future, I am willing to always be a minister to the Great Song Dynasty, and I will never dare to be offended." ”

Dugu Yan smiled coldly and said: "I left this half volume of the art of war, its purpose is to wait for you to commit, even if you have a thousand heavy machines, how can you be the enemy's heart, the way of using soldiers, not a weapon, you and your people can do it yourself." ”

Aguta said a lot of humble words, and with the mechanical part, he ordered his subordinates to find a way to get these mechanical crossbows far to the ship. It's just that this place is at the top of the island, and it is extremely inconvenient to transport it down, and the ships are limited, and there are too many utensils here, plus the gold, silver and jewels that have been robbed, and the three big ships can't fit it at all.

Later, Aguta asked them to select equipment that had not been corroded much and transport it to the ship, anyway, they had the drawings, and when they returned to the tribe, they could find skilled craftsmen to build combat equipment.

The big ship moved slowly, and returned with a full load. After walking for several days, I finally saw the harbor.

Seeing that familiar land, everyone's hearts finally settled down. But as soon as the big ship came to a halt, Aguda realized that something was wrong, and the guards on the shore were not the ones he had left to meet his troops.

"Could it be that there is something that has temporarily changed their lives? No, how can they change their lives without my order? Could it be that there is a change in the clan?" Ah Guda pondered in his heart.

When I was thinking about it, I suddenly heard someone on the shore laugh and said, "Brother Dugu has worked hard!
