~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The kidnappers agreed that the time for the exchange of hostages was at noon the next day, and Zhang Fang and the Han brothers had one night to think about countermeasures.

There are two opinions on the conditions proposed by the kidnappers: the Han father and son are firmly opposed to the exchange; Zhang Fang thinks that it can be exchanged. And Sister-in-law Han was sobbing vigorously, muttering from time to time whether the bandit who killed the god would feed the girl? What should I do if it's cold in the mountains?

Strictly speaking, Han's sister-in-law did not show any opinions, but the pressure on Zhang Fang and the Han brothers was not weaker than that of the kidnappers.

Han Yi was irritable, and yelled at his mother-in-law: "Don't howl there!" Get out! ”

Sister-in-law Han covered her mouth and glanced at her husband and uncle in horror (the Han Dynasty called her father-in-law "uncle"), her eyes were two ugly faces, and Sister-in-law Han whimpered and hid her face.

Finally calmed down, Zhang Fang rubbed the swollen temples on both sides, straightened out his thoughts, and said to the Han father and son in an unquestionable tone: "The hostages must be exchanged!" It's not that I don't value my own life, but because this gang of gangsters has set their sights on me, and if we don't agree to the exchange, the other side will have a succession of followers. In short, if you don't achieve your goal, you won't give up. The enemy is in the light, I am in the dark, and I am being watched behind by a pack of wolves, and sooner or later something will happen. That being the case, it is better to take this opportunity to resolve this matter once and for all. ”

Han Yi groaned: "Xiao Langjun's words are also reasonable, if we have a blade in hand, we are not afraid of fighting with the bandits, but the other party has designated to hand over the blade, relying only on soft bows, bone arrows and wooden sticks, I am only afraid of ......"

Han Zhong said hatefully: "If there is a blade in hand, the three of us, plus Shi Niu and Qu Liang, why are we afraid to fight with this gang of strong beams!" ”

Han Jun's eyes were quietly focused on Zhang Fang's face - when they first met, this was still a white and tender face that looked like a beauty, but in just a few days, it was dyed with a layer of light bronze, and the soft outline was also a little angular...... Unconsciously, this handsome young man has gradually grown into a trend of Angzang's bearded eyebrows.

Han Jun suddenly smiled: "Xiao Langjun must have a countermeasure, right?" ”

Zhang Fang smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Asher Gao looks down on me, and I am also worried about the blade." As the eldest brother and the young man said, if there is a blade, it may be able to fight, and the wooden stick and soft bow are difficult to oppose. ”

The blades must be handed over, which is a prerequisite for the exchange of hostages. With rudimentary sticks and civilians without any training, fighting with well-armed professional bandits, even if the number is doubled, it is not certain, not to mention that the other party still has a limit on the number of people, indicating that only the Han brothers are allowed to go with themselves. numerical inferiority, weapon inferiority, terrain inferiority, psychological inferiority...... In a battle against an enemy with an advantage with such a disadvantage, the odds of victory are so weak that you can imagine it.

What kind of simple and effective weapons can compensate for the disparity in numbers and the disadvantage of weapons, and reverse the current disadvantage?

Zhang Fang pondered bitterly.

The weapons spectrum before the Han Dynasty was very simple, nothing more than swords, swords, halberds, and swords, and the material was either copper or iron, whether it was a material or a weapon, Zhang Fang was the same. Even if there were, no one would forge it; Even if someone could build it, there wouldn't be enough time.

You can only look for it later, on the development of Chinese weapons, the weapons of the Song Dynasty were the most complex, and the so-called eighteen kinds of weapons were formed at this time. Eighteen kinds of weapons, Zhang Fang can count most of them with his fingers, and the material requirements are low, it seems that there are only bows, ropes and the like. Not to mention the bow, there are materials for the soft rope, but without special training, who can play with it? There are also strange weapons such as flails and nunchucks, although there are no material requirements, and the lethality is not bad, but if you want to play well, it is also not a day's work. Zhang Fang is not Bruce Lee, even if he is given a pair of ready-made nunchucks, he can't "Huo Huo Hi Hi".

Zhang Fang's brain hurts, and he can't think of what kind of weapons meet the strict requirements of non-metallic materials, quick to use, simple and effective under the existing conditions. Looking up, Han's father and son both looked at themselves, really hoping that they could come up with an idea, but this deadlock, how could it be easy to break?

Zhang Fang really couldn't stand the gaze of Han's father and son, shook his somewhat drowsy head, got up from the broken seat, put on bast shoes, and walked out of the chaimen.

By the stove in the corner of the courtyard, Han's sister-in-law was cooking on the fire, crying silently, and muttered in a low voice: "God bless, follow the light of my son, don't have anything to do......"

Zhang Fang turned his head and asked Han Yi in the room: "Is Nannan's big name Jiguang?" ”

Han Yi nodded: "Exactly, the name of the elder yesterday was about to invite the people in the village to congratulate him, but there was such a thing." ”

"Jiguang, Han Jiguang, Jiguang ......" Zhang Fang read repeatedly, his eyes gradually lit up, he suddenly punched his fist, and shouted, "There is!" It's best to use this thing against this gang of bandits. ”

……

At noon the next day, the sun was still fierce. After many days of rain, the mud is solid, the grass is yellow, and the dust is flying during the walk, and it is only a little higher hillside that can be seen from afar. At this moment, when Zhang Fang and his party appeared on the gyro-shaped mountain path, the kidnappers who were on duty in the shade of the trees on the hillside were whistled into the forest from afar. The whistle fell, and a group of evil-looking men poured out of the dark woods, half-surrounding Zhang Fang, the Han brothers, Shi Niu, and Han's sister-in-law.

This is the first time that the two sides have met each other in the more than 10 days of open and secret fighting.

Zhang Fang's first gaze fell on a middle-aged man with a slender body, a cold face, a long sword in his hand, and a dangerous aura all over his body. This person, regardless of temperament and momentum, is completely different from his accomplices.

"Drama Xin?" Zhang Fang asked tentatively.

The middle-aged man nodded: "It seems that Childe knows a lot." Ji Xin said and glanced at Jiao Meng beside him, obviously thinking that the two idiot brothers under Jiao Meng had betrayed them.

Zhang Fang was about to continue the temptation, and the big-headed and short Jiao Meng roared: "That kid, I don't care what your origin is, how many brothers you have killed, you have to be ready to pay for your life!" ”

The accompanying Shi Niu was furious, and he stretched out his hand to draw his sword: "The left and right are dead, so what kind of knife and bow do you have?" Let's do it! ”

Zhang Fang stopped Shi Niu in time, didn't care about tempting Ji Xin, and said to Jiao Meng coldly: "The weapon has been brought, and the person has been sent to the eye, it is a man, so I will fulfill my promise first." ”

Ju Xin and Jiao Meng were both surprised, they didn't expect that in such a dangerous situation, this young man could still be as calm as Huan, and he didn't worry about his own safety at all. Ji Xin nodded secretly in his heart, no wonder that person wanted to entrust the master to send a doorman to make a move, so as to put this son to death. At a young age, he has an extraordinary bearing, and he is really a character. If you don't get rid of it as soon as possible, that person won't want to come out.

Jiao Meng asked for Ji Xin with his eyes, the latter nodded, and Jiao Meng gestured towards the forest. After a while, a skinny bandit, with a girl in his arms, walked out.

As soon as Sister-in-law Han saw Nannan, her eyes turned red, and she was about to pounce, but she was pulled by her husband in time.

Zhang Fang didn't say much, and with a wave of his hand, Han Jun collected the swords and bows on everyone's bodies one by one, stepped forward a few steps, and put the weapons on the ground.

A bandit stepped forward to inspect them one by one, and finally nodded to Jiao Meng, indicating the logarithm of the number.

Jiao Meng's radish thick finger pointed at Zhang Fang: "Your sword must also be untied." ”

Zhang Fang had been mentally prepared for this, and without saying a word, he threw his sword at the drama.

Ju Xin raised his eyebrows, raised his hand to take it, drew his sword out of the sheath, his face reflected Qingfeng, his eyes froze, and blurted out: "Good sword!" The famous sword 'Dragon Shadow' really lives up to its name. ”

Zhang Fang nodded secretly, it turned out that the two seal characters engraved on the spine of the sword were "Dragon Shadow", and Ju Xin really recognized it, and it was in vain that he deliberately threw the sword to him.

got what he wanted, Jiao Meng was not ambiguous, waved his hand, and asked the skinny little bandit to return the girl.

Sister-in-law Han stretched out a trembling hand to take over the baby, Xu is mother and son are connected, and at the moment of returning to her mother's arms, the quiet girl cried loudly. Sister-in-law Han put the child's little face close to her own face, and she couldn't stop crying.

The delivery is completed. Zhang put his hands behind his back, swung them back, and motioned for Sister-in-law Han to take Nannan away quickly.

Han Yi hurriedly said to his wife in a low voice: "Leave quickly, you have to cry and cry again when you go home." ”

Sister-in-law Han also woke up in shock, quickly wiped away her tears, and bowed deeply to Zhang Fang gratefully. Zhang put his head and didn't look back, and his hand was more urgent. Sister-in-law Han turned around in tears, and just after walking a dozen steps, a bandit suddenly appeared in the forest beside the road, and stopped him with a knife.

Sister-in-law Han was shocked, hugged the baby tightly, and looked back in a hurry. The Han brothers were shocked and angry, and they all glared at Jiao Meng angrily.

At this moment, the leader of the bandits, who was like a fence bucket and a short urn, was looking up and laughing wildly.

Zhang Anxin's head sank - the last thing he wanted to see happened happened......
