The beacon is made of rammed earth plates. The foundation of the wall is covered with gravel. Even firm. It's just that most of the tops have collapsed, and there are obvious traces of arson. Judging by the scorch marks, it was ignited by a rocket. The fire starts from the eaves and spreads through the middle of the canopy on all sides. Then the beams and pillars collapsed, and the flames fell into the fort together with the beacon fire on the roof, and a fire ignited.

In this way, it can be seen that Liu Bei's ingenuity when he built his hometown. The roofs of all wooden buildings are covered with super-hard ceramic tiles made of pyrite powder. The tiles are like scales, and the edges are also decorated with tiles. There are no crevices to drill. The wooden eaves are all made of solid wood and iron, such as some important buildings, and are also covered with enamel armor. In addition, every household has a water tower, and a cooked copper nozzle is set under the beam. Once the fire starts, the fire can be extinguished with a sprinkler. Rockets are useless.

Look at the beacon again. The top is all yellow mud thatch. How can you protect against rockets.

The roof was on fire on all four sides at the same time, spreading towards the center. Apparently surrounded by nomadic cavalry, the rocket struck.

Roofs made of thatch and mud are actually fireproof. It's just that for a long time, it was first cracked by the scorching sun, and then washed by heavy rain. The mud gradually drained away, and the thatch was exposed. If you can make up the mud from time to time, it doesn't stop there. I am afraid that it will fall into disrepair and encounter open flames again. And so it turned out.

The wooden structures in the fort were all burned.

Fortunately, there are also armories, barracks, etc., which are also rammed earth and the inner chamber is structurally intact. The scouts had already probed beforehand, but apart from some traces of wild beasts in the wasteland, no human presence had been found in the bunker.

There are many cracks in the walls around it. There was no trace of the gate. Fortunately, there is enough open space in the courtyard, although the stables have no sheds, and the stone trough is still in good condition. Shi Lian led the embroidered clothes to enter first, and after checking through, he confirmed that it was safe. Xu Rong and Cheng Pu led the Dragon and Tiger Battalion escort team to enter.

The walls of the earthen fort are also damaged. The walls are pitted and eroded by wind, sand and rain. The reason for this is the lack of wide eaves and canopies to protect from the wind and rain. Fortunately, the plywood in the wall is intact, and the overall structure is still there. It won't collapse for a while.

The carriage had just pulled in, and the sky was already snowing.

After a while, it turned into goose feather snow. The coachman hurriedly covered the roof with leather. The four walls of the stable are high in front and low in the back, and they are single-sided slope roofs. Even if snow falls, it won't accumulate. The leather is strong enough.

Although the fort can shelter from the wind, it cannot keep out the snow. Liu Bei looked at the sky, and then he didn't enter. The convoy formed a circle in the courtyard and blocked the entrance. Spend the night out just like yesterday. Pull up the ceiling, the umbrella-shaped support frame in the middle circle, slightly higher than yesterday. This turns the rim into a circular tent with a high center and low periphery. Falling snow will slide down on its own and will not accumulate on the roof of the shed.

Bring gravel and build a fire pit. Tiger Riders and Dragoons go out to shoot game, which is grilled on the bonfire.

The advantage of the earthen fort is that it can be guarded against the night attack of wild beasts. The embroiderer shot his hook and claw, climbed the roof watchtower along the fort wall, and then lowered the soft ladder. When the shooter climbs the ladder, he can shoot high and down, and control the entire courtyard.

Snowflakes kept falling from the cracks in the leather roof. Before he could reach the ground, he was baked into a long wisp of smoke by the rising heat. The scouts returned one after another, and Chong Shilian, with a grim face, whispered a few words. Shi Jian came to report this, and he needed to beware of night attacks.

The embroidered clothes officers who were scattered out as scouts were all Huaisi heroes. After a long time, the knife licks the blood. After countless trials of blood and fire, life and death, he can still survive. Experience has long been solidified into intuition. Although there are no clues, almost all of them feel a trace of hidden murder.

After discussing it, this was reported to Shi Lian.

Shi Jian came to remind Liu Bei again.

Liu Bei nodded and said, "Good preparation." ”

"Whoa!" Shi Jian then went to discuss with Xu Rong and Cheng Pu without mentioning it.

When Sister Yan'er brought the dinner plate, she asked in a low voice, "Targeted?" ”

Liu Bei nodded lightly: "Yes." ”

"Is it for the offering?" Sister Wan'er also came over.

"Perhaps." The cash box on the car contained 6,456 golden horseshoe cakes. With such a huge amount of money, it is normal to be remembered. However, to Liu Bei's surprise, he was lightly dressed and did not set off with much fanfare. And the route is even less known. It's only been a day of travel, and I'm being targeted. And it's still stuck in the snowstorm......

How do these people do it?

Compared to yesterday's relaxed freehand. Dinner was a little more shy. They were full of food and silently carried away the weapons around them.

The enamel window panels of Liu Bei's carriage were also lowered early. Obscuring the light from the white glass windows.

After dinner, the flames in the pond were blazing and not extinguished. Shooting tiger riders and dragon riders, deployed everywhere in the fort, occupied favorable terrain, and guarded high. The swarthy enamel wall firmly blocks the entrance to the gate. The coachmen all took refuge in the carriages. Sending the seven young ladies into the carriage, Liu Bei held the male and female sheathed swords in his hands, and sat alone on the third-step pedal of the carriage.

As the night deepened, the snow stopped.

It's quiet. There was silence left and right.

A wolf howl began to sound in the distance. A white wilderness, with scattered black dots.

If it weren't for the embroidered clothes on the top of the earthen fort, he was secretly guarding. No one would have noticed that these black dots suddenly appeared, merging with the surrounding protruding earth and stones.

Embroidered clothes at night. The dark vision of the embroiderer is far beyond ordinary people. In addition, the snow is also reflective, so it can be seen in the middle of the night.

Just blinked. The distribution of black dots has changed again. These black dots, which disappear out of thin air and appear out of thin air, are like groundhogs, directly emerging from the snow field in waves. There is no trace of movement left at all.

Yes, they walk underground.

No wonder the scouts didn't see anything along the way. The thieves had dug holes in advance and hid them in the ground. Tomb robbers are said to be adept at digging. But I don't know what the identity of these people is.

Liu Bei was quite curious.

Wait for the black dots to approach the earthen fort from all directions. The rustle hidden in the north wind is gradually faintly audible. That's right, they're digging hard. The reason why it pops up on the ground from time to time is that it does not hesitate to become black dots. It is to discern the direction. Or come out to catch your breath.

Liu Bei had already ordered someone to investigate in advance. The walls surrounding the earthen fort have stone foundations that penetrate deep into the earth. If you want to dig through, you need to dig a section downward, bypass the foundation, and then go up first, and you need to be careful not to collapse and alarm the target.

Liu Bei estimated that they did not have this perseverance.

Really. As you approach the wall, the rustling gradually stops.

Not long. Then there was a thief with a night walker, clinging to the root of the wall, and came out of the ground.

100 dense and one sparse. The thief dressed as a night walker unexpectedly snowed heavily in the evening, and all eyes were white. The black night jacket is more conspicuous. After a few more moments, a thief stepped on his companion's shoulder and slowly poked his head out.

Xu Rong motioned to the sharpshooter beside him not to move.

The black head quickly looked around, and then retracted sharply. After a few more moments, it stretched out again. After doing this several times, he jumped lightly and steadily jumped onto the wall.

Slowly lean on. Minimize exposure as much as possible and cover vital points. Continue to look around the precincts. Seeing that the carriage was in a circle, there was still fire light in the gap in the canopy, but the earthen fort behind the carriage was pitch black. The thief pondered for a moment, then suddenly turned over and jumped off the wall.

Suddenly. Then a circle of heads poked up.

Xu Rong, Cheng Pu, and waved silently.

Dragons and tigers rode with bows to open the full moon one after another, aiming at these dozens of heads.

The moment the men in black jumped up in unison, the bowstring sounded suddenly.

Airplanes!
