Everything should be prepared with both hands, so as not to be dumbfounded, this is my consistent principle.

Although there is Kaigoro's rhetoric, it sounds like a matter, but such a big event can't be hung on this kind of rumors. So I still decided to explore Cheongju City at night!

Out of prudence, I'm going to lead the team myself. It's not distrust, it's value. In this matter, there can be no sloppiness!

The personnel of this operation are extremely streamlined, and I only have the Nine Ghosts Zhengxiao and Mo, which is also the most outstanding at the moment. I didn't even let the kite go, after all, it was a military fortress, not an ordinary private house.

What's more, Dongying has a mature system in the use of ninjas and defense, so you have to be extra careful.

The three of us took the kite and a few other shinobi to quietly get on the horse after dark, and the horse's feet were naturally handled, and the sound of running was very small. About an hour later, we arrived five miles outside Cheongju City.

We couldn't go any further, and if we rode any further, we might be discovered, so the three of us dismounted and handed over the horses to Kite and the others. After saying goodbye to the kite, I pulled up my mask, took the Nine Ghosts Masahya and Mo, and walked along the bushes towards Cheongju City!

Soon, Cheongju City appeared in front of us at night.

I looked up and laughed a little secretly. If I lived in Dongying, I might still feel majestic when I looked at this city, but I just took someone to finish repairing the Great Wall of Juyongguan, and then looking at this city, it was like a joke.

In China, there has been a city since the Xia Dynasty. Traditionally, the Chinese city was surrounded by a high wall, surrounded by government offices, commerce, residents and a small part of farmland, and outside the city was a large area of land. Moreover, the height, thickness, and strength of the city walls have become higher and higher, thicker, and harder with the development of the times.

In the Ming Dynasty, the height of the walls of the first-class city was generally about 20 to 30 meters, and the whole body was cast with stones, not to mention the hardness. In order to improve the hardness, some fortresses even put a layer of iron plate on the outside of the city, which is really indestructible.

So when I saw Cheongju Castle, I almost didn't laugh out loud. Don't be deceived by the magnificent history of Dongying written by the people of Dongying, when you were in the Warring States of Dongying, how could there be any talk of a heroic city! According to my understanding, this is a relatively large village at most.

During the Toei Warring States period, the so-called castles mainly included the castle tower, the small castle tower, and the castle town. Among them, the castle guard is a tall building, which is mainly inhabited by the castle guard and a small number of generals, plus some garrisons. The castle tower is generally divided into several levels, such as Kiyoshu Castle, which is divided into Ichinomaru, Ninomaru, and Honmaru.

According to records, except for Kyoto and Osaka, which are slightly larger, other large cities such as Cheongju are about the size of the Forbidden City...... In Huaxia's view, the Warring States of Dongying are like children playing around......

The small castle tower is usually a wall made of wooden blocks outside, and it is usually more than two meters high, and if it reaches three meters, it is considered a fortified castle! Usually these walls are made of wood, so lighting them is the most common way.

However, when you think of the average height of 1.4 meters during the Warring States period, isn't it easy to understand? Surprised? Not surprised? My height can be considered a passerby, okay?

The so-called castle town refers to the commercial and residential areas outside of the small castle tower, and whenever there is a war, the first thing these townspeople worry about is whether the other party will not be moral and will come to the defenseless themselves......

The legendary feat of "One Night Castle in Sumamata", when Toyosei Hideyoshi was still surnamed Kinoshita, was that he threw wood into the water from the upper reaches of the river, fished it up from the downstream, and built a Lego castle overnight...... The degree of shoddy construction of these so-called cities can be seen.

If it was a city in the Ming Dynasty, I would be a little afraid to climb up, but this kind of city ...... You don't even need a three-person collaborative climb.

Of course, I have always adhered to Taizu's attitude of "despising the enemy strategically and attaching importance to the enemy tactically", and I have not been sloppy in operation.

When we were 200 meters from the city, we stopped running and leaned against a large rock, quietly observing the movement in the city. The castle town is still brightly lit, especially in bars and other entertainment venues, and there is a burst of noise.

The city was very quiet, at least the small castle tower that could be seen was very quiet. On the enemy tower every few tens of meters, the defenders were dozing slightly, and the sound of dogs barking was faintly heard in the city.

These are all routine configurations, right? I thought to myself. Gesturing, the three of us used the grass and bushes to move forward in a low posture into the shadows twenty-five meters from the city. This location is right between the two enemy towers, and it is a more appropriate place to infiltrate.

If you look closely, the defenders on the enemy tower on the left are napping, but the one on the right is fierce. If we just rush over like this, we will definitely be spotted if we don't get to the wall.

I motioned for the Nine Ghosts to scatter and go to the two enemy towers next to them to take a look at the situation, and the results were all the same, and the gap we were currently in was the darkest light, so it should be the most suitable place.

I lay on my stomach in the grass, quietly observing the movements of the defenders on the enemy tower on the right. After watching it for a while, I noticed that his movements were still relatively regular, always turning and turning his head at an angle of about 60 degrees, and looking back and forth.

In each direction, he would observe for about ten seconds, look left and right, and then turn to the next direction. I was mentally calculating that it took him more than twenty seconds to turn around, and it took us four seconds to get up and run to the wall, one second to climb over the wall, and five seconds to lurk in the wall......

I was really calculating, but this guy stretched, yawned big, sat down, leaned on his shoulder, and actually began to nap......

Me: "......".

Gesticulating, the Nine Ghosts Zhengxiao went out first, only to see him running through the lighting area between the shadows and the city wall like a black shadow, taking advantage of the momentum to prop up his left foot on the wall, and his body jumped up by inertia, and his hands were still on the wall!

I saw him look down at the wall, then he turned his head and made a safe gesture to me, but he climbed into the inner side of the wall first!

I gave Mo a look, the two of us got up at the same time, ran towards the city wall, almost front and back feet to the wall, I carried the ape style and cold crystal trick, the whole person seemed to slide on the wall, one breath went to the top of the wall, and then planted the big head, quietly climbed down the wall!

After two breaths on the ground, Mo also came to the ground, and I looked up to see that the Nine Ghosts Masataka was waving to us from behind a low wall not far away! The two of us didn't need to say hello, and ran quietly to him.

I have to say that Dongying does have a very complete system in the use of ninjas. Take the black outfit on my body, it's really warm and breathable, very wear-resistant, and doesn't make too much friction noise. The pockets and bags on the body are also very good, and basically the necessities are packed.

It is said that there is no useless thing in a ninja, and I was just a concept before, but now I know that this is true - it is said that even the underwear worn by ninjas is made of edible materials, which can be used to keep them alive when they are in a desperate situation and have no supplies......

And the ninja knife they use is the kind of single-edged straight knife, which is also multi-purpose. It can be used as a crowbar, a handrail, or as a climb - stick the knife in the ground, step on the top of the handle to go up to the wall, and then pull the knife up with a rope tied to the handle......

Needless to say, the performance of assassination is not to mention, as for slashing is the last use - after all, the discovered ninja's life has actually come to an end......

Oh, by the way, the last use is suicide, because a ninja is caught by the enemy, so it's better to kill yourself......

There is a distance of about forty or fifty meters between the small castle tower and the castle tower, and this open space is densely packed with tents, and according to the calculations of the Nine Demons Masataka, there should be between 3,000 and 4,000 soldiers stationed in it.

Between the tents, there was an endless stream of patrols, all of them in groups of three, and one group would be seen every once in a while. However, there has been no sign of a military dog so far, and from the occasional barking of dogs, it is likely that there are military dogs guarding the castle tower.

We took advantage of the gaps between the patrols and shuttled from tent to tent, the snoring and dreams of the soldiers were incessant, but there was no valuable information.

In order to ensure safety, it took us a few minutes to sneak over the distance of tens of meters, and in a silent way, we climbed over the five-meter-high fence and lurked into Ichinomaru.

It's quiet in Ichinomaru, not as popular as outside, but I know that all the dangers have just begun, and it's even more murderous than the gathering of people outside!

For example, we just touched a seemingly ordinary room, but there were a few long breaths faintly coming from it, and at first glance, it was a latent master who was good at concealment, and it always maintained this state in normal times. I'm afraid the number of listeners is still between five and six!

Another example is when I go to the main hall gate, by the moonlight, I seem to see something flashing, but when I look closely, it is a fishing line! This tight fishing line is tied to the iron nail on the wall at one end, and the trigger of the crossbow is tied to the other end, facing the location of the fishing line!

If you don't see it, touch it......

Therefore, in this silent yard, it is actually killing every step!

Before we came, we had already made a detailed rehearsal of the sketch of Cheongju Castle that Shibata Katsuya had given us. Ichinomaru is mainly where the military commander and the personal guard live, and then there are the kitchens and toilets.

Originally, I also thought about using medicine, but there are thousands of people in this city, and there are usually people who try it before the main meal, so it is not easy to achieve.

Ninomaru is generally the residence of the general.,Of course, there are a few generals who like to pretend to be X.,There are also people who like to live in Honmaru.。 So our goal is to go up Ninomaru!

The height of Ninomaru is about ten meters, and it is a little difficult to go up with manpower. So we took out our flying grabs, threw them up to the city, listened to them, and did not move, and then we began to climb up the rope together.

When you go up to the castle and look left and right, as drawn on Shibata Katsuie's drawings, the area of this floor is not too large, at most the size of half a football field. In the middle is the temple, surrounded by a wall.

We listened with bated breath and there seemed to be music coming from inside the walls! It seems that there is indeed a party!

We glanced at each other and began to feel our way towards the wall, running out of any obstacles. I was thinking, this defense is too lax! As a result, I encountered the biggest problem since entering the city!

A ferocious vicious dog, seven or eight meters away from us, bared its teeth, and roared at the three of us in a low demonstration!
