Chapter 281: Twenty-One Assassins

There is a saying on the rivers and lakes, boxing is afraid of being young and strong, and another meaning is that after people are old, in addition to their seniority, they have more power to speak in the rivers and lakes, but martial arts have regressed. After all, the peak of a person's body is at the point of being young, even if there are old people with outstanding martial arts in various legends in the rivers and lakes, but the buddy faction knows the importance of cultivating young people, and the strength of a sect does not lie in how many old people there are, but in how many young people there are. The reactions, strength, stamina, and recovery ability of the young people make the old people fearful, and everyone is the reason why the various factions send out the absolute core.

It's not that people don't want to take risks, but they know that they should let the people who are most sure do things. So each sect handed over this glorious task to the strongest martial artist in their sect, and this trip was personally led by the ghost general Zhang Xiaowu, which will inevitably become a legend in the future.

Everyone expressed their opinions and assisted in completing the plan, and Zhang Xiaowu also learned about everyone's ability one by one, and the initial plan was that everyone disguised themselves as Tartar soldiers and slaves, lurked around the tent, and Zhang Xiaowu led everyone to kill the tent. But Xia Ming only glanced at the handsome tent in a hurry, he wasn't sure if Li Gaotu lived in the handsome tent or slept elsewhere, so someone had to inquire in advance, and everyone recommended Sikong Liling, the master of the empty door, what this empty door is best at is light work, and it is a big thief, Sikong Liling is one of the leaders. And Sikongmen participated in the righteous army in order to wash the white sect and win a good reputation, but he never expected that he would be able to take on a heavy responsibility now, and he was suddenly excited, Zhang Xiaowu said: "Master Sikongmen, success or failure depends on you alone, you can only succeed and not fail." ”

Sikong Liling said loudly: "If it fails, I will apologize for my sins with death in the empty door." ”

Zhu Wushuang said sharply: "It doesn't matter if you apologize for your crime with death, but if you are involved in the great cause of killing dogs, I am afraid that even the dead old-timers will jump out and beat you." ”

Sikong Liling didn't quarrel with the little woman, and ignored her with her head held high.

Zhang Xiaowu saw that Zhu Wushuang was still going to speak, so he directly took over the conversation and said, "Why are you also involved in it?" ”

Zhu Wushuang was proud and said, "I'm the twentieth person selected, you can't think of it, right?" ”

"I didn't expect that your kung fu was so bad that you were actually selected." Zhang Xiaowu sighed, "What can I do if I take you there, beauty?" We don't use beauty tricks, and we have to use beauty tricks as a last resort, and we also use Tao girl. ”

Tao Zhiruo was ashamed and angry, stomped his feet and turned around to ignore him, everyone laughed, Zhu Wushuang opened his teeth and claws and said: "I use a hidden weapon, hum, I will use a flying needle, don't think I'm useless." She raised her right hand, and the deer's eyes glared: "Why don't you give it a try?" ”

Zhang Xiaowu slightly, but Xia Ming reminded: "The defenders of the Tatar Pagoda Shuai Tent wear leather armor and ring iron armor, and flying needles can't pierce the leather armor. ”

Seeing Zhang Xiaowu laughing, Zhu Wushuang immediately said, "Then I'll use a flying knife, right?" I use the same good knives. ”

Xia Ming said in a hoarse voice: "The flying knife can only be projected on the face, and it still can't penetrate the leather armor." ”

Zhu Wushuang was discouraged for a while, but Zhang Xiaowu thought of a weapon and said it in Zhu Wushuang's ear, Zhu Wushuang's eyes widened, and he couldn't help asking, "Is it okay?" ”

"Don't just think about killing the enemy, if you want to play to your strengths and avoid your weaknesses, do you have to carry a sword to kill the enemy?" Zhang Xiaowu said, "You should understand that some people can use what they are good at to achieve the effect of defeating one against a hundred. I like the tired nature and breath, pretty girl. He carefully looked at everyone's weapons, including swords and sticks, flying claws, and dust, shook his head, and said, "Your ability may be able to assassinate Ligaotu, but after Ligaotu is killed, it will inevitably cause the defenders to round up, and your blades will suffer a great loss after encountering the defenders." ”

Wang Xiaojian said: "Does the general have any suggestions?" ”

Zhang Xiaowu motioned to Xia Ming, and Xia Ming said: "Your sword can't cut through leather armor and ring iron, and your sword is too thin, so it is okay to use it in the battle of the rivers and lakes, because the people of the rivers and lakes do not wear armor and can be used on the battlefield, but they will suffer a big loss." In addition, battlefield combat is the most damaging blade, and although your sword is sharp, it can break after a few blows with a blunt knife. When the blade is broken in a decisive battle on the battlefield, it will kill people. ”

Zhang Xiaowu nodded, he pulled out his waist knife, and asked Tao Zhiruo to cut his waist knife with a sword, Tao Zhiruo swung his sword and slashed, Zhang Xiaowu slashed at each other, only to hear the sound of "ping", Tao Zhiruo's long sword was broken in response. Tao Zhiruo looked at his long sword in disbelief, but it was actually cut off by the rough waist knife. She quickly picked up a waist knife, only to feel extremely heavy, and even more surprised, and said, "Is the waist knife so heavy?" ”

Zhang Xiaowu said: "Even if your sword is a sword, it can be lighter than my sword by one-third, and when you swing it, the kinetic energy of my waist knife - the power - is three times that of your long sword, so your sword can't withstand this kind of power." He asked Wang Yijin to bring a waist knife, a simple knife, a short knife and an iron mace, and said: "If the other party is wearing armor, it is more suitable to use these military blades." ”

Although the Jianghu people are proud but not stupid, if they use a more practical blade when fighting, they will be able to save their lives, and the Jianghu blades are limited by the requirements of the imperial court, and they must be lighter than a catty, so the swords of the Jianghu rangers are mostly in a slender shape, and therefore the Jianghu rangers can practice martial arts like flowers and smoke when practicing martial arts, and use many moves. The waist knife in Zhang Xiaowu's hand weighs two catties and six taels, so it is naturally simple to use but powerful.

So everyone chose the blades they were good at, and after they really got the military weapons and blades, everyone realized the difference between the rivers and lakes and the soldiers, almost all the military blades were more than twice as heavy as the swords they usually used, and everyone quickly began to adapt to the new blades.

Wang Xiaojian said beside Zhang Xiaowu: "General, I don't quite understand why you trust us so much? You don't use Captain Li's dead soldiers, but use us to assassinate? ”

Zhang Xiaowu said with a smile: "Because I am too familiar with the army's combat methods, I think that with them, the victory rate is only one percent, because their eyes are too sharp, full of murderous energy, and there is no way to disguise themselves as slaves." And you are different, you can disguise yourself as slaves, because you don't have such a heavy murderous aura on you, I think half of you should have never killed anyone. ”

Wang Xiaojian shook his head and smiled bitterly, the rivers and lakes are not fighting and killing, the rivers and lakes are sophisticated, after all, there is an empire with imperial power, and the rivers and lakes can only abide by the rules.

It took a while for everyone to practice their weapons and blades, and then everyone changed their clothes again, Zhang Xiaowu and Wang Xiaojian changed into the clothes of the Tartar soldiers, while the others changed into the clothes of the Tartar slaves. Zhang Xiaowu taught Wang Xiaojian how to walk the Tartar people, which caused everyone to laugh for a while, Tao Zhiruo was also very happy, and suddenly returned to that night, and then her face turned crimson, turned around and ignored him.
