"This is not complicated at all. Zhao Adban, please explain it to General Yao. After all, you have been in charge of this matter of climbing the immortal boat."
"General Yao, we communicate with Dengxianzhou through message tubes and flags."
"The flag language...is the flag command?"
"No, no, no, semaphore is the military order that the generals intend to convey. Through the color of the flag and specific movements, it is conveyed to professionals who understand semaphore..."
After Zhao Aban explained, Gao Zhang saw that the generals of the Western Army seemed confused and laughed.
"Why not, please generals, please think about it and prepare for the soldiers and horses three doors away to do something or make some noise."
"Here, Zhao Adban and the others will be responsible for delivering the news. You will know after one try."
After hearing Gao Zhang's words, all the generals of the Western Army were ready to take action. At this time, Miao Lu couldn't help but stood up first.
"Since Privy Gao is destined, I will be willing to give it a try."
"General Miao, please give the order." Zhao Yaban confidently stood in front of Miao Lu.
"Okay, please also ask Zhao Yaban to tell the soldiers in the south to beat the drum ten times, and then let the north ring the gold ten times, and finally let the west call three times for Wan Sheng of the Song Dynasty."
As soon as this request came out, the faces of several Forbidden Army generals darkened, and the faces of a group of Western Army generals also looked a little unhappy.
After all, this guy actually made things so complicated, and it was clear that he wanted to make things difficult for others.
But I saw Gao Zhang still had a calm smile on his face, as if he was unmoved.
As soon as Miao Lu finished mumbling, he felt those unkind eyes falling on him, and his heart trembled.
The young boy in front of him could easily turn into a humble official and a privy minister.
Miao Lu, who had already felt regret in her heart, quickly opened her mouth to make amends.
"Is this too complicated? If it's not appropriate, then it will be changed."
Gao Zhang showed an indifferent smile towards Miao Lu, turned his head and nodded towards Zhao Aban and gave instructions.
"Zhao Adban, go ahead..."
Zhao Yaoban was so happy that he shouted loudly and walked away quickly. After quickly recording the orders that Miao Lu told him, he stuffed them into the message box and fixed the message box on the hanging red rope. On, after pulling three times.
Under everyone's gaze, the message box was pulled up by the red rope and quickly rose towards the sky. After a few blinks, it disappeared from people's sight.

The Xixia soldiers in the city saw that the round thing as big as a room could actually float in the sky.
All the common people and soldiers in the city were in commotion, and the shouts of the Song army soldiers made the defenders in the city even more frightened.
As the round thing rose higher and higher, it looked like a black dot from below.
But everyone's heart felt like a heavy boulder was pressing down on their heart and liver, making them breathless.
As the supreme commander of Jingyuan Fort, Meledubu no longer knew what language to use to express his feelings at the moment.
Is that what the gods are doing? Could it be that this is the Taoist magic that the Song people believed in...
At this moment, the countless party warriors around Maledubu looked timid and began to ask for blessings from the chanting scriptures of the Buddhas in the Western Heavens that they believed in.
At this time, Maledubu suddenly heard the sound of military drums coming from the south, and immediately ordered his soldiers to rush over to see if the Song army intended to launch an attack.
However, the Song army in the south stopped beating the drums ten times, while the Song army in the north actually started to beat the drums. Now, not only Mele was embarrassed, but all the Xixia soldiers were a little confused.
What kind of tricks are the Song troops outside the city making? Is this a trick? But the military drums and the ringing gold are all equipment used by the Song army to direct the army's advance and retreat.
Just when everyone was puzzled, the shouts of the Song army came from the west. Thousands of Song soldiers shouted Song Wansheng's roar outside the city. Even the soldiers standing on the top of the east city city Meledubu also heard it clearly.
Similarly, the generals of the Western Army of the Song Dynasty standing outside the East City Gate also heard various movements coming from the south, north, and west.
Miao Lu, who had just thrown out this difficult problem, now stepped forward with sincerity and bowed deeply to Gao Zhang to apologize.
"General, you don't have to be like this. After all, it's normal to have doubts when you see this thing for the first time."
"Next, I invite you generals to sit down and watch how our Song Dynasty Forbidden Army conquers this city."
"But before that, I would like to ask the generals, do you want to keep this Jingyuan Fort or not?"
"..." Looking at this Privy Councilor Gao who was so casual, as if he was asking someone if he wanted to add something to dinner at night.
After Zhong Shidao had a low-pitched exchange with a group of Western Army generals, he stepped forward and said respectfully to Gao Zhang.
"Privy Councilor Gao, I think it would be best if we could stay, but if we can't break the city..."
"Then how about leaving some defensive facilities such as city walls and gates?"
"...If this can be done, it would be great. After the war, our army will be stationed here to prevent Xixia from retaking Jingyuan Fort."
Seeing that these Western Army generals had unified their opinions, Gao Zhang, who had finished showing off, calmly nodded in agreement and turned to look at Lu Qian.
"Are the thunder cannons ready?"
"Reporting to Lord Zhuangyuan, all flying thunder artillery groups have been loaded and are waiting for orders."
"Okay, here's my military order. All artillery groups in the four directions should aim at the back of the city wall and open fire after ten breaths."
Gao Zhang stood outside Jingyuan Fort, commanding calmly, as if he was splashing ink with ease and ease.

At this moment, a lot of people had gathered in Duan's Trading Company, which is located in the center of Jingyuan Castle. Everyone looked a little anxious and a little bit excited.
In addition to the more than ten people here who are employees of Duan's trading company, there are also three detectives from the Imperial City who are lurking here.
From the moment the city-wide alarm went off, they had already taken the initiative to rush to Duan's Trading Company.
Duan's trading company now has business premises in various counties in Xixia, and all business premises will be located in the middle of the town.
This order had been determined as early as when the business premises were first opened in Xixia.
Only Gao Zhang understood why he wanted Duan Zhongping to insist on this order. The reason was that once gunpowder weapons were used to attack the city.
The most unlucky ones are definitely the residences close to the city wall. Only the center is the safest.
On the city wall, there were nearly 10,000 Xixia soldiers and horses, as well as nearly 30,000 young men and women, making it seem as if an airtight fence had been erected on the wall of Jingyuan Fort.
The Xixia soldiers, who had been fighting against the Song Kingdom for many years and had always maintained a strong psychological advantage, felt that the Song army's actions today were deeply evil.
