If you look down from a high place, you will find that the entire fort is actually in the shape of a Lu character. The Yacheng in the north and the fort in the south are connected together, the Yacheng is slightly smaller, the fort is larger, the Yacheng is a small Yacheng with a circumference of about 400 steps, covering an area of about dozens of acres. The newly built Outer Fort City is much larger, with a circumference of about 1,000 steps.

Five hundred steps of the village, nine hundred steps of the city, the original inspection department of the yamen can only be regarded as a small village. The newly built fort is a veritable city, although it can only be regarded as the smallest city, and although the city wall circle is relatively large, but now there are large areas of open space in the fort, but the tiger head fort is indeed a small city with a circumference of more than a mile.

Both the Yacheng and the outer city are roughly square, with each side of the Yacheng City nearly 100 paces and the outer city about 200 steps on each side. The Yacheng and the fort are stacked on top of each other, and the south wall of the yacheng and the north wall of the fort share a wall.

If you remove the gate that connects the fort city and the yacheng, there are only two gates in the south and one in the north, especially the gate in the north, from the north gate of the fort, you must pass through the yacheng. However, in order to maintain its independence, the Yacheng City built a twenty-pace-wide passage along the west wall of the Yacheng between the middle gate and the north gate, and built a high wall on the east side of the road.

In this way, after entering the middle gate from the fortress city, it will be both inside and outside the yacheng, and will not affect the military camp and official hall in the yacheng.

As night fell, the city of Tiger Head Fort was quiet, as if it had fallen into a deep sleep.

It's just that under the cover of the dark night, Liu Jun is fully armed and leads the members of the Hydra team to wait quietly and prepare.

"My lord, the thief has appeared."

Feng Sheng, the general manager of the vigorous night team, walked gently to Liu Jun's side and reported.

Liu Jun nodded, his heart became excited, did the thief finally come, he had been staying for a long time.

"Hold the soldiers first, and wait for the thieves to do it first." Liu Jun suppressed the excitement in his heart and tried his best to calm down. This time was different from the previous battles, it was a real battle.

The night breeze was blowing, and the dew was wet, but it couldn't extinguish the flame in Liu Jun's heart.

July is a sign of autumn, and the weather will get cooler day by day, but Liu Jun's heart is getting hotter and hotter.

Not far from the north gate in the night, the lion helmet beast belt, the white-robed and silver-armored Jinma Chao straddled the horse, looked at the tiger-headed Guancheng in front, and the corner of his mouth showed a cruel smile, "Up!" ”

Ma Chao is the eldest son of Ma Shoucheng, and his nickname is called Jin Ma Chao, because he likes Jin Ma Chao in the Three Kingdoms the most, so he gave himself this name, he is only thirty years old, but he is indeed brave and fierce, and he is very important in the camp of the old return. This time, Ma Shoucheng came to avenge his son, so he asked his eldest son Ma Chao to lead the headquarters of 500 men and horses to be responsible for the feint attack on Beicheng.

There are 500 people in the headquarters of Jin Ma Chao, all of whom are old brothers and elite bandits. At the sound of an order, these people quietly touched the pass.

"These dog officers and soldiers don't even have any precautions, they are really tired." Ma Chao looked at the dark city and said coldly.

Ma Chao jumped off the horse, "Disarm!" He shouted.

The two soldiers immediately stepped forward, took off the set of silver-lacquered mountain pattern armor that Jin Ma Chao had snatched from a general when he broke through Fengyang, replaced him with a rhinoceros leather armor, and hung a bow on him, with a good bow inserted in it. And with two bags of arrows, one bag of light arrows, and one generation of heavy arrows.

Finally, the soldier handed him a sword.

Although the mission of Jin Ma Chao is to launch a feint attack from the north to attract the attention of the city. But he despised the townsmen in those forts, and he was even very relaxed, without the slightest pre-war nervousness. He followed his father and uncle to fight for many years, the officers and troops of the Ming Dynasty were often vulnerable, and the border army had some combat effectiveness.

Even he originally felt that there was no need to spend so much effort to engage in any roundabouts, feints, etc., and he could take the castle city and slaughter everyone in it by taking these five hundred brothers to raid at night.

Even if there are hundreds of Xiangyong in the city, but in the eyes of Jin Ma Chao, his five hundred brothers can completely defeat the Ming army Xiangyong who is ten times larger.

The team of soldiers under his command also began to take off the iron armor, the iron rope armor, and replace it with cowhide armor. And the rest of the brothers, some of whom were wearing iron armor, simply wore cloth clothes after taking off their iron armor.

Jin Ma Chao's team is very good at raiding, and they have captured many manors of officials and squires who are much larger than Hutou Fort, and even county towns and capital cities. In the face of such a castle, you can take it in one fell swoop by directly climbing the city and sneaking attack.

Ma Chao pulled out his sword, looked at the sharp blade, and smiled, "Brothers, although this tiger head pass is small, there are a lot of good things in it. ”

"What good things can be in this place." One of the pro-soldiers grinned.

Ma Chao waved the sword in his hand, put the knife into the sheath, and then took off the bow and pulled the string, and said with a smile, "This Hutou Pass was originally just a small inspection department, but now there is a team training, hundreds of people, that Lian Yong is said to be very appreciated by several major families in Macheng, and his Lian Yong is even equipped with good cotton armor, as well as many firearms." When we have defeated it, we will take the captured cotton armor and firearms, and build a cavalry with firearms, and oh, there are more than 200 pond horses in this fort. ”

The bandits are not very interested in what firearms, and they have captured a lot of firearms in the past, but that thing will blow up as soon as it is used, or it will not make a sound, it is too dangerous to use that thing, and now few bandits are not willing to use firearms anymore. Although some of the bandits were armed with firearms, they were basically firearms made by craftsmen who had captured them themselves.

But when they heard that there were hundreds of horses, they were very happy. In fact, there are many horses among the thieves, and the most elite bandits are all pond horses, that is, cavalry with horses, and often one horse with two horses.

After changing into light clothing, the thieves touched the city and quietly put the long ladder on the long trench, and the thieves behind the cat carried the ladder and stepped on the ladder on the trench to cross the long trench and successfully reached the four-zhang high fort wall.

These thieves are experienced, cooperate tacitly when acting, and do not make the slightest noise.

Jin Ma Chao is the general manager, in charge of 500 people, in the team of Lao Huihui, his soldiers and horses are called a family, and there are several battalions of men and horses, each battalion is about 3,000, led by a palm plate. Under the palm plate, it is divided into the chief manager, the head of the house, and the management team.

Jin Ma Chao's father, Ma Shoucheng, commanded a battalion of men and horses, and he was in charge of a plate, while he was the general manager of a department, commanding 500 people.

In tonight's battle, Jin Ma Chao, as always, naturally chose to be the vanguard in person, rather than staying behind and watching the battle. His trademark white robe and silver armor had long since been replaced by a leather armor covered with a black burqa.

He carried a long sword on his back, and two knives, one long and one short, were stuck in his waist.

He was the first to climb the ladder and climbed swiftly towards the wall. One of his own soldiers followed him a few steps apart, the ladder rattling only slightly.

The higher and higher he climbed, the Jinma overhand had pressed to the battlements, jumped up with force, and the whole person had jumped onto the city. He glanced left and right at the top of the city, and saw that the city was quiet, and there were a few dim lights in the distance, as if some of the guards were asleep against the battlements.

"Damn it." Jin Ma Chao cursed in a low voice, because he suddenly found that this small fortress city actually had an urn city. Behind the city gate, there is also an urn city, the most damn thing is that this is a small castle, even if there is an urn city, his mother is still a triple urn city, each of which is very small, but it is built three times in a row behind the north gate, and his mother is not too troublesome.

I didn't have any of this beforehand, but now that I'm already in the city, it's just a little more troublesome.

"Go open the door." Jin Ma Chao whispered to his subordinates.

Everything went smoothly, Jin Ma Chao and they smoothly entered the first urn city, several guards in the door hole were lying on the table and fell asleep, they touched it lightly, and then moved together, stuck the throats of those guards, covered their mouths, and the knife in their hands slashed directly through their necks, and several guards were killed in their sleep without any reaction at all.

"Go open the door." Jin Ma Chao shook off the blood stains on the flailing knife and said to his opponent.

Several of his men hurried over, operated the winch to lower the drawbridge, and then opened the north gate to let the brothers outside in.

However, after those excited bandits rushed in, they were also as hot as Jin Ma Chao, and there was a city gate inside.

Jin Ma Chao didn't talk much nonsense, and continued to walk along the passage on the city wall to the next urn city with his own soldiers. The rest of the hundreds of bandits crowded in front of the first urn gate, waiting to open the door. Hundreds of people stood in the small first urn city, crowded and unable to get through.

In the arrow tower of the city gate of the second urn city, Liu Jun stared closely at the infiltration of those bandits.

"Big brother, the bandits have entered the first urn city." Cai Yuan, the head of the artillery division, said in a deep voice.

Liu Jun said, "I know, don't worry. ”

The thief never expected that Liu Jun would build a small fortress so perverted. In addition to the outer city and the Yacheng, Liu Jun also built an urn city outside the north and south gates, and what is even more perverted is that these two urn cities are triple gates, and it takes so much effort to make such a complex metamorphosis, naturally because Liu Jun knows that in this era, the castle defense battle, the most fierce competition is the city gate.

There is an urn city inside the city gate, which is still triple, which greatly strengthens the defensive performance of the city gate, especially this kind of urn city is built inside the city gate instead of outside, which is more insidious.

Now, the thief has really fallen for it.

They didn't even notice that the villagers who were sleeping on their stomachs in the cave of the city gate just now were actually the meticulous works they had sent into the city to lurk before, and these people had already been drugged into a coma and were just changed into the clothes and hats of the nine-headed bird. In the darkness, those thieves didn't even notice that they had just killed their own brothers, and now, they had stepped directly into the death trap laid by Liu Jun.
