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

Whether in ancient or modern times, when trading with kidnappers, you must be mentally prepared to be torn up and empty of people and money. Zhang Fang is not a policeman and has no experience in this area, but as a time-traveler from the era of information explosion, he has never eaten pork, and he has seen pigs run, and many "pigs" run. Before the transaction, Zhang Fang had made enough psychological preparations, and also drew up several sets of emergency plans, although he did not want to use them, but the development of the situation still slipped to the situation he least wanted to see......

"It is said that swordsmen are all promises, but now it seems that this is not necessarily the case." Zhang Fang ignored Jiao Meng, who was smiling like a weasel stealing chickens, and pointed the finger at Ji Xin. With his professional acumen, it is not difficult to see what kind of character Ji Xin is - proud, confident, and always thinks that everything is under control. Such people disdain to play such self-slapping methods.

Ji Xin took a few steps to the side, put on a posture that he didn't care about himself, and said lightly: "In this incident, I am only an employer, and I will not interfere with the actions of the employees, and what they do has nothing to do with me. Childe should worry more about his own life, the lives of the little people, why bother. ”

Ju Xin does have his own pride, but he is not rigid, he easily picks himself out, and effortlessly unloads the spearhead that Zhang Fang pointed at him.

Zhang Fang was keenly aware of the information revealed by Ju Xin's words, and immediately snapped into a sentence: "Can I think so, you will not interfere in the next developments?" ”

Ju Xin's eyes turned on Jiao Meng and the other eight heavily armed men, as well as the bare-handed Han brothers and others, and sneered: "That's right, I won't interfere." ”

"Good!" Zhang Fang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, intuitively, he thought that Ji Xin alone was even more dangerous than Jiao Meng and the other nine bandits combined. Whether it is due to the pride of the drama Xin itself, or the illusion he has arranged, he can eliminate the threat of this person, and the odds of winning this time are a few points higher.

"A robber is a robber, and there is no faith at all." Zhang Fang, who had solved a big trouble, turned to Jiao Meng in a relaxed mood, and shook his head regretfully, "I thought that Your Excellency was from a poor background and also experienced the pain of Yanli, at least I understood the principle of 'thieves also have a way', but I never thought about ......it."

Zhang Fang kept sighing and shaking his head, although he didn't say half an accusation, he stabbed the bandits in embarrassment.

Jiao Meng snorted, gritted his teeth and said, "You are to blame for this!" I wanted to take your life alone, and you dragged these men into the water. If you join forces with these untouchables to kill five of my brothers, I will pay you back five lives!" The three brothers of the Han family, this big man (Shi Niu), and this woman are exactly five people...... Don't worry, I only need five lives to sacrifice my brother, don't want one more, this doll can live ......"

Zhang Fang's eyes sharpened: "It seems that this is your 'Dao'." ”

Jiao Meng smiled: "If you think so, you have nothing to ......"

At this moment, the bandit who inspected the weapon seemed to remember something, raised his head and said in a lost voice: "Qutou, there is still a blade missing......

Jiao Meng said angrily: "What? ”

The bandit hissed: "Ruler knife, chashang...... ruler knife"

The so-called ruler knife is a short blade, that is, the blade held by the bandits who sneak into Han She at night and want to stab Zhang Fang. This short blade, Zhang Fang gave it to ......

Zhang indulged and laughed: "Qingyan, return the ruler knife to them!" ”

A swamp exploded beside the road, and a filthy, unrecognizable thin figure flew out, his arm raised, and the cold light was like electricity—poof! The short blade, which was less than a foot, mostly did not enter the door of the bandit who stopped Han's sister-in-law.

The bandits let out an earth-shattering scream and covered their faces and fell. The thin figure quickly pounced, picked up the fallen ring knife, and held it with both hands, protecting Han's sister-in-law and Nannan.

Qingyan!

At the same time, Han Yihan pursed his lips and let out a loud whistle. Before the whistle sounded, among the reeds on the edge of the swamp, the stems and leaves flew and the dust flew, and a long, gray-faced figure broke through the ground.

As soon as Qingyan appeared in front, he flew a knife to kill a bandit, and at this moment, Jiao Meng and the others were already frightened birds, and when they saw someone jumping out, they immediately scattered as birds and beasts, and the semi-encirclement collapsed instantly.

But the man who jumped out did not attack, but bent over, carrying a bulging broken straw mat on his shoulder. Seeing that his back was crushed into an arch, it was obvious that the weight of the wrapped material in this straw mat was not light.

The man ran close to the Han brothers and threw out the broken grass mat with all his might: "Here!" ”

Although his face was covered with swells of insect and ant bites, it was not difficult to recognize that the person who came out of the ground was Qu Liang.

The straw mat fell to the ground, cracked with a bang, and rolled out five strange-shaped weapons.

The Han brothers, Shi Niu, and Qu Liang, each with a handle, held it in their hands, and stood in a row, and they were quite clear.

Not only Jiao Meng and the bandits, but also Ju Xin all widened their eyes, what kind of weapon is this?

It is said that it is a weapon, it is very reluctant, but in fact it is a branch cut from a tree, two feet long, the front end is obliquely sharpened, and the front end of the horizontal branches around it is obliquely sharpened, leaving only a sharp root stubble less than half a foot long. At the same time, more than a dozen whip vines were inserted horizontally around the branches, and sharp wooden thorns were also tied at the front ends...... This—This is also a weapon?!

Jiao Meng and a group of bandits pointed at Zhang Fang and the Han brothers and others, and laughed so hard that they fell: "Hahaha...... This group of mud-legged people actually wanted to use tree branches as weapons...... Hahaha......"

Ji Xin also shook his head coldly, it is undeniable that the previous ambush was indeed unexpected by him - you must know that they came here early in the morning to prepare, that is to say, these two ambushes were arranged last night at the latest. It's not uncommon to be able to think of an ambush, and it's amazing to be able to ambush for half a day and a night without revealing and hiding! Such patience and tenacity may not be possible even for a soldier, and I am afraid that only a trained swordsman or a dead soldier can do it. The two people in ambush are not simple.

It's just that the heart of attention that has just risen is quickly scattered by the opponent's "weapon". It seems that he still looks down on his opponent, and the material gap is not something that can be made up by the so-called conspiracy after all!

In the face of Jiao Meng's ridicule and the sneering of Ji Xin, Zhang Fangbao smiled calmly, took two steps to the side, and raised his hand like a commander to order: "Enter!" ”

The five marched together, with their sticks raised, and the target was the nearest bandit.

The bandit smiled playfully, pulled out the ring head knife, held the handle of the knife with both hands, looked at the smallest Han Jun, jumped up and slashed down.

Han Jun raised his fork to block, and the blade split one branch, but it was stuck on the second branch, and he couldn't pull it out for a while. Han Jun let out a cracked silk scream, and rushed forward with a stick, and the sharp wooden thorns pierced deep into the bandit's belly.

The bandit's eyes widened, staring at the five-foot thin boy in front of him in disbelief, and he immediately covered his stomach and rolled on the ground, screaming that made his scalp tingle.

The ring-headed knife can't actually dry the branches?! Jiao Meng and the bandits almost didn't petrify, and Ji Xin also gasped.

The Han brothers, Shi Niu, Qu Liang and others were all greatly relieved, this thing is really effective, it is worthy of Xiao Langjun! Qing Yan, who was guarding Han's sister-in-law not far away, even squinted her eyes with a pair of single eyelids and bent them into a slit.

Zhang Fang is confident on the surface, but in fact, he is also full of heart, after all, he has only seen the power of this thing from the data, plus the emergency practice in the middle of the night, how is the actual battle, and his heart is not at all. Now the performance of the knife and stick duel finally made his hanging heart fall to the ground.

If you are a weapon enthusiast from later generations, when you see this kind of homemade weapon, your first feeling is - mace! If you look closely, you will blurt out exclamations - wolf!

That's right, this is the main weapon of the Mandarin Duck Array created by Qi Jiguang, "Wolf Tree".

Qi Jiguang himself admitted that the standard weapons of the Ming army were difficult to please when they encountered Japanese knives. In order to break the sword, Qi Jiguang not only created the most compact cold weapon Qimen formation "Mandarin Duck Array", but also got inspiration from bamboo to make the wolf whire, a Qimen weapon that specializes in breaking the sword.

The cost of making the wolf whisk is very low - it is to use the strong big bamboo in the south, cut off the two ends, leave only the two zhang, the front end is obliquely sharpened, the horizontal branches around the body are retained, tied with iron thorns, and then soaked in tung oil, and the handle is wrapped with hemp rope, and a low-cost wolf whisk is out of the cage.

This outrageously rudimentary weapon works surprisingly well. The horizontal branches around the bamboo pole can not only disturb the opponent's eyes, poke the opponent, cover themselves, but also resist the sharp and sharp knives at will. No matter how sharp the knife is, no matter how strong the arm strength is, it is impossible to cut it from top to bottom. If you can't cut it to the end, it will inevitably be stuck, and the weapon will be stuck, and the consequences can be imagined.

The ring-headed knife of the Han Dynasty, both in weight and appearance, is almost the same as the Japanese knife, the difference is only a straight blade and a curved blade. The wolf can not only break the sword, but also break the ring knife.

Break the knife with bamboo! This is the lowest-cost and most likely method that Zhang Fang can think of to defeat the enemy under the current circumstances. But if you really want to implement it, you will encounter a problem that is not a difficult problem - Ningxia (Beidi County) This place, since ancient times, bamboo has not grown, and bamboo that is readily available in Shu and the south is not found everywhere here.

I had no choice but to use a branch instead. And the tree pole is straight, the branches are luxuriant, and the branches with moderate softness and hardness are really hard to find, no wonder Qi Shaobao wants to use bamboo.

Fei Lao worked hard to find a few suitable branches, and then used the bark of the old mountain rattan to weave into "horizontal branches" with excellent toughness, which ran through the branches and increased the density. At first, the Han brothers and Shi Niu and others did not believe that the tree branch could break the ring of the first knife, but after the real thing was started, under the instruction of Zhang Fang, one person held a knife and the other held a wolf sword, attacking and defending each other. Sure enough, even if it was recognized as the most powerful stone bull, he danced the ring-headed knife vigorously, and even cut his mouth, but he failed to attack the opponent's Han Chong's middle palace, but was slashed by Han Chong's arm with a wolf branch......

As Qi Jiguang said, the use of wolf is not required to have any special skills, as long as the arm strength is sufficient, it is enough to be competent.

The drill was very successful, and the next step was how to quietly ambush the manpower and weapons at the designated exchange place of the bandits, and kill the other party by surprise.

It is not difficult to ambush, and it is not difficult to bring weapons, but it is difficult to endure insect reptile and ant bites, filth and fumigation, and silently survive this long night. Based on Zhang Fang's observation, only Han Yi, Han Jun, Qu Liang, Qingyan, plus a few of them can do this. He and the Han brothers were designated to appear, and they couldn't be ambushed, and only Qingyan and Qu Liang were left.

Fortunately, both of them have good hunting experience, and they may not be excellent hunters, but one of the basic skills of being an excellent hunter - squatting and guarding, can be done through gritted teeth.

They did it, and the effect of the wolf was also confirmed in the actual battle, and next, it was the time of the showdown!

There are still seven bandits left, and Zhang Fang is also seven people here, one to one, who will kill the deer?
