At two o'clock in the morning, Han Zhen opened his eyes in his sleep.
He stood up and lit the oil lamp, rubbed his face, took out a set of armor and put it on.
This armor was sewed by Han Zhang and An Niang together in recent days. The two women stayed up late for several days.
It's said to be armor, but it doesn't really count at all.
The main material is bamboo slices connected in series, and important parts such as the heart are inlaid with a thin layer of iron slices.
There is some defense, but to be honest, not much.
It can block the hacking of a simple sword, but when faced with an armor-piercing cone or a powerful crossbow, there is no big difference between wearing it and not wearing it.
As for the simple knife forged from fine steel, there are now several small curls on the blade.
It's time to change weapons.
Han Zhen actually didn't like to use the Pu Dao, mainly because he was too strong, and the Pu Dao was light and not very smooth to use.
If he had a Tang Mo sword and a suit of walking armor, he felt that his combat power could at least increase several times.
Unfortunately, the casting technology of Tang Mo Dao has been lost now, and the several knives used to prevent Mo Dao in the Northern Song Dynasty are far inferior to Mo Dao in terms of power and sturdiness.
As for Bu Renjia, not to mention Linzi County, a small county, even the Zhenhai Navy may not have it in its arsenal.
Putting on his armor and holding his sword, Han Zhen strode out of the house.
Just as he was about to pass through the hanging flower door, a soft voice came from behind: "Uncle... come back early."
"good!"
Han Zhen paused his feet slightly and responded without looking back.
All the way out of the house, when we came to the threshing floor, we found that Zhang He and others were already waiting there.
Seeing him wearing armor and holding a sword, no matter how stupid he is, he can guess what he is going to do tonight.
However, no one was afraid, but some were eager to try.
Sure enough, after getting blood on their hands, these soldiers became more courageous.
When he came in front of everyone, Han Zhen didn't talk nonsense and said straight to the point: "We are raiding the county tonight, and there will be some insiders to help us open the city gate. No one from the Xu family will be left behind. If anyone dares to harass others or rob civilians on the way, military law will serve!"
"Got the order!"
Everyone responded in unison.
Han Zhen nodded with satisfaction and ordered: "Zhang He, lead a team of people to drive all the ox carts."
After a while, six ox carts were driven to the grain field.
"Get in the car and kill with me!"
Han Zhen waved his hand, climbed onto his horse, and rushed out of the village.
The soldiers jumped onto the bullock carts.
…
…
"Aha~"
At the east gate of the county seat, a county soldier yawned loudly and couldn't help complaining: "Why don't you come?"
The other person raised his palm and slapped it on his face.
"Damn it, grandpa's blood was almost drank up by the mosquitoes. Where did you buy this mosquito smoke?"
"I bought it from Old Man Li in Xishizi."
"This bastard dares to sell grandpa's fake goods. I'm going to destroy his stall tomorrow."
"Dong dong dong~dong dong~dong dong dong~"
At this moment, there was a rhythmic knocking on the city gate.
The two county soldiers were stunned for a moment, then looked at each other.
After swallowing, the two men removed the latch and slowly opened the city gate.
The next moment, the sound of horse hooves and rolling wheels rang in their ears.
The two county soldiers remembered Liu Yong's instructions, closed their eyes tightly, and stood there without saying a word, like stone sculptures.
As the sound of wheels gradually faded away, one of them couldn't help but open his eyes.
Through the faint starlight, I could only see a dark back and flashes of cold light...
…
Late at night, the lights were still on in the Xu family's courtyard.
Bursts of chanting sounds, accompanied by the crisp sound of wooden fish knocking, came from the main hall.
Outside the side door, Han Zhen listened quietly for a moment and recognized that what was being recited was the Lotus Sutra.
After living in Zhenquan Temple for such a long time, I listened to the old monks drumming and bells every day, and I was immersed in it, and I actually recognized some scriptures.
Zhang He and others stood quietly at the back with simple knives in hand.
After a while, Han Zhen said: "Zhang He, you lead two teams to the backyard, and the others will follow me to protect the front yard."
"yes."
Zhang He subconsciously wanted to respond loudly, but realized that the occasion was not right, so he quickly lowered his voice.
boom!
Han Zhen kicked open the side door and rushed in first.
"Kill!"
Wang Wu felt hot blood rushing to his brain at this moment, and he rushed in with a roar.
In the front yard, two servants were watching the night.
Seeing the side door being kicked open with a bang, the two of them were stunned.
These servants are used to being very cruel. After they came to their senses, they actually scolded: "Who are you..."
Before he finished speaking, a simple knife flashed with cold light and struck his neck fiercely.
Poof!
As the head rolled down, a stream of blood spurted out from the broken neck.
"The thieves are coming in!!!"
It wasn't until this moment that the other servant realized what he was doing and ran away, shouting at the same time.
But before he could even take two steps, he was caught up by Wang Wu who rushed in and slashed his back with a knife.
Zhang He led two teams and quickly passed through the hanging flower gate and went straight to the backyard.
At this time, the nurse who was still sleeping was awakened by the cry of killing. He hurriedly put on his clothes, picked up his weapon and rushed out.
Han Zhen rushed into the crowd with a simple sword. He was wearing bamboo armor. Every time he waved the simple sword in his hand, he took away a life, just like a god of war.
The soldiers were inspired by his bravery and rushed forward one by one, roaring.
These three days of hard training have finally paid off.
At least the chopping movements of this group of soldiers with their swords were more steady and more ruthless than before.
In just a few breaths, more than a dozen servants were slaughtered.
At the same time, bursts of killing cries and screams came from the backyard.
Wiping the blood on his face, Han Zhen ordered: "Wang Wu, lead five people to guard the side door. If anyone from the Xu family escapes, you are the only one I will ask!"
"yes!"
Wang Wu was in a state of excitement and roared at the top of his lungs, causing everyone's eardrums to sting.
Han Zhen raised his eyebrows, reached out and patted him on the shoulder, encouraging him: "Not bad, very energetic!"
After receiving his praise, Wang Wu felt his heart surge and his cheeks turned red.
After leading the seven people through the hanging flower gate, they saw several monks rushing towards them in a panic.
Han Zhen raised his knife and killed the monks, stepping on the corpses and walking inside.
They are just a few monks who are not engaged in childbirth, so if they are killed, they will be killed.
…
The shouts and cries from the Xu family's residence echoed throughout the county, waking up many people who were sleeping.
For a time, the entire county was in panic, but no one dared to go out.
Occasionally, a child's cry was heard in the house.
The next second, the cry disappeared.
In a large house not far from Xu's house, Zheng Dalang suddenly woke up.
After jumping out of bed, he picked up a piece of clothing and put it on himself, opened the door and walked out of the inner room.
At this time, everyone in the house, old and young, as well as masters and servants, all walked out of the house in a panic.
The housekeeper rushed into the backyard in panic and shouted: "Alang is not good, a group of bad guys have entered the Xu family."
Hearing this, Zheng Dalang's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly ordered: "Quick, quick, quick, get all the nursing staff to go to the Xu family to help."
"yes."
The butler responded, turned around and left in a hurry.
After a while, more than twenty nurses and servants rushed towards the Xu family with simple knives in hand.
But as soon as these nurses left, a group of strong men wearing black scarves rushed into Zheng's house.
Soon, bursts of heart-rending screams and cries could be heard in the Zheng family's residence.
