Chapter 20: The Traces of the Wakos
A week passed, and Liu Zheng entered the dream gladiatorial arena again.
He first tested the speed of his nerve reactions, which was about 30% higher than before.
The effect is very satisfying, don't look at the improvement is less than half, two people of the same level, if anyone increases the speed of nervous reaction by 20%, it is enough to play with the other person.
But the nerve reaction speed is fast and you can't do whatever you want, the ripple sword in the opponent's hand that appeared this time is abnormally sharp, and Liu Zheng wanted to continue to use the injury for injury style to win quickly.
Unexpectedly, the corrugated sword directly pierced his arm and lungs, and overturned on the spot.
"The deathmatch is over, you are dead, and the current SAN value is 20 remaining."
"Why do they have weapons and I don't?" Liu Zheng asked.
"There is a chance to unlock the weapon function in the reward." The system rarely explained.
Although he was still very unhappy, it was better to have hope than nothing, and Liu Zheng reluctantly accepted it.
When the time limit expired, the black flames rose again, and Liu Zheng was pulled into the mission world by the "Secret Keeper".
"Mission Name: Traces of the Wakos"
"Objective: Obtain more than three famous knives in the hands of the Wakos"
"Base Reward: 500 Game Points, 2 D-Rank Item Draws"
"Special Reward: Draw a random sword from the famous swords you get"
Liu Zheng looked at the mission introduction, and then looked at the people wearing long-sleeved fat robes on the street, and knew that this should be the Ming Dynasty.
"Last time in the late Qing Dynasty, this time Jiajing, next time it's time to pull me to fight the Tartars." Liu Zheng spit out.
The most rampant time in history was during the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, and Liu Zheng still knew a lot about this history.
He looked at himself, who was also dressed as a civilian in a straight blue shirt.
He felt something, reached into his sleeve, and felt for a few pieces of silver, as well as a guide.
When I opened it, it turned out that my body was also called Liu Zheng, a native of Yuezhou Mansion in Huguang Province, a child who came out to travel.
"This time the status is higher than the last time, but it is not a good thing. Let's find a place to settle down first, and then ask about the famous knife. ”
Liu Zheng was just about to go to find an inn to open a house, and there was a commotion at the city gate in the distance, and several peasant-like people shouted while rushing into the city: "The Japanese are coming, the Japanese are coming." ”
Liu Zheng didn't expect to encounter the siege of the city by the Japanese as soon as he came up, but it is not a bad thing, maybe he can find out about the famous knife.
He avoided the people who had fled when he heard the news, and watched the city gate to see how things were going to happen.
Obviously, the officials and generals had no intention of facing the battle, and fled to the other gates.
Liu Zheng frowned, grabbed the arm of a fleeing soldier, and shook it violently.
The soldier was about to snatch a woman's bracelet, but he couldn't grab it for a while, so he simply wanted to cut it off with his hands.
Liu Zheng knew that the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty except for the nine sides were very bad, but he didn't expect it to be rotten to this extent.
The soldier staggered a few steps, and said angrily, "Wu Na man, don't be nosy. ”
Liu Zheng didn't bother to pay attention to him, waved his hand to let the woman leave, and continued to look at the city gate.
The soldier was angry when he saw Liu Zheng despising him like this, but he was surprised by the faint momentum on Liu Zheng's body, so he had to snort coldly and run away.
The soldiers at the city gate had almost run, and they could faintly hear the shouts of the would-be robbers.
Some of the people ran away, some hid in their houses, and some looked around in a state of panic, not knowing what to do, and what awaited them would be inhumane slaughter and plunder.
Seeing this, a tall and tall young man couldn't bear it, gritted his teeth and stood up, picked up the discarded spear on the ground, and shouted: "I will have no man!" Who dares to fight with me against the Japanese invaders? ”
He looked around expectantly, but there was no response, the young men avoided his gaze, and the soldier who was taking off his armor to run faster smiled awkwardly.
He was disappointed and sighed in relief.
Yes, the Ming Dynasty is well known for its military preparation, and there should be no expectations.
At this moment, a voice pierced through the noise of the street: "I go with you." ”
The young man looked back in surprise, and then was stunned on the spot.
A young man who looked a little thin, carrying the thick stick that the owner of the liquor store used to prop up the ceiling, looked at him calmly.
This contrast made him rub his eyes, wondering if he was hallucinating.
Of course, this person carrying a thick stick is Liu Zheng, and he will definitely not miss the opportunity to trigger the main line.
But as far as he and the hot-blooded young man are concerned, they must only be heroic, so they have to find a way to fool people to join.
Since ancient times, the fierce general is the most able to stimulate morale, and when a thick stick was erected next to him, he played a game of upside down weeping willows, and with his current strength, he could barely use it.
He swung the thick stick around a few times, but the effect was still there. With such a fierce man taking the lead, and defending his own home, many young men joined in, and some soldiers also picked up their lost weapons.
The young man came up and hugged his fists and introduced himself: "In Xia Hu Buwei, thank you for your help." ”
Liu Zheng clenched his left hand into a fist, beat his chest and said, "Liu Zheng." ”
Hu Buwei said: "Brother Liu, the Japanese are here in a blink of an eye, I don't know what Brother Liu's strategy is to retreat from the enemy." ”
Liu Zheng shook his head and said: "I only have brute strength, and I don't have any wisdom." ”
Hu Buwei said again: "In this way, the little brother has a plan, I don't know if Brother Liu thinks it should be or not." ”
Liu Zheng was a little impatient and said, "I'll listen to your arrangement." ”
Hu Buwei didn't think it was angry, and said: "Then ask Brother Liu to ambush the gate, I will take people out to meet the battle, pretend to be invincible, and as soon as I enter the city gate, Brother Liu will sweep it with a thick stick." ”
Liu Zheng agreed, so Hu Buwei rushed out with more than a dozen young men who were good friends on weekdays, Liu Zhengze and some people hid behind the city gate, and a few people who could bow and arrow went to the city gate.
After a few minutes, the young man who went out fled back, behind Hu Buwei.
Hu Buwei entered the city gate and pretended to shout: "I can't wait, close the city gate quickly." ”
When the chasing widows heard this, they immediately accelerated and rushed in.
Hu Buwei saw the opportunity and immediately gestured towards Liu Zheng.
Liu Zheng puffed up his muscles, put the thick stick under his armpit, and exerted his waist and crotch arms together, and swept away thousands of troops with a blow.
The few pirates who rushed to the front were swept away and fell to the ground one after another.
There was a widow who was too short and was hit in the face, and his weight of more than 60 catties plus acceleration directly opened the scoop.
Seeing this, the would-be robbers in the back were horrified, and they stopped their steps one after another, and a few of them were unable to catch up and crashed into a ball.
When Hu Buwei saw that the plan had succeeded, he was overjoyed and shouted: "Everyone, follow me to kill the thieves and defeat the enemy and defend the land!" ”
Then he rushed out first, followed by Liu Zhengze.
Although he had never learned the stick technique, it didn't take much skill to wield such a heavy weapon.
The sharp swords of the Japanese were often able to gain an advantage when slashing against the weapons of the Ming army. But that was for conventional weapons, and it didn't do much for Liu Zheng's big stick.
So he brandished a thick stick and rushed left and right in the battlefield, not to mention the Japanese cowards, even his teammates couldn't get close to him.
Hu Buwei is also a martial artist, and he resisted the three Japanese robbers head-on.
Qing Zhuang and the soldier were inspired by the two, although they were still afraid in their hearts, and there was a gap in martial arts and weapons, but they finally withstood the attack.
But the manpower was sometimes exhausted, and Liu Zheng gradually felt that his physical strength was exhausted, and when he was hesitating to use props, a noise came from inside the city.
Men, women, and children, armed with weapons of all kinds, came out of hiding to defend their property and lives.
The people's morale increased greatly, and a trace of strength burst out of their originally tired bodies.
The leader of the Japanese invaders looked at the people of Gaobu who hated the same enemy, and then looked at Liu Zheng, who had slapped a Japanese to death with another stick, hesitated, and waved his hand to retreat.
It's not that he's worried that he won't be able to win, but the main thing is that Shaoxing Mansion is close at hand, and if he sends reinforcements to cut off his back road, it will be troublesome.
And he is a remnant of the defeated army, a tree without roots, one less to die, and it is not allowed to be wasted.
He let out a strange roar, and the battled Wako immediately swung his sword to force the enemy back in front of him, and then retreated to gather next to the leader.
Hu Buwei also waved his hand to stop his own people from pursuing, and the two sides confronted each other silently.
The leader of the Wakos, who was wearing lacquer armor on his upper body and a demon mask on his face, looked at the open gate with some reluctance, and finally left with his men.
Hu Buwei breathed a sigh of relief, collected his corpses, and immediately returned to the city with his men and horses, and closed the city gate.
After counting, he found that more than 20 people had died on his side, and in addition to a few killed by Liu Zheng, only three Japanese were killed.
Hu Buwei sighed worriedly, the Japanese are so fierce, and the coastal armament has long been slackened, and he doesn't know what the situation in the southeast will become like.
However, he is not an official now, even if he has the intention to change, he has nowhere to focus, so he is not in his position and does not seek politics.
He said to Liu Zheng, who was stunned on the side: "Brother Liu must be very tired, why don't you come to my house to rest and have a light meal." ”
"Discover the famous knife: 'Great Prajna Long Light'"
Liu Zheng woke up from the task prompt and casually agreed.
Hu Buwei led the way in front, and Liu Zhengze thought about the ghost mask wolf, it seems that the one on his waist is "Da Pan Ruo Changguang", and he has to find a way to get it.
