Wild North America 1846

Chapter 59
Considering that swords and swords have no eyes during the martial arts competition, and those who miss will inevitably be injured. Even if one is injured by the enemy, it will be a loss to the Tang Dynasty, so Li Cha ordered;
"Since that's the case, let me invite you to a martial arts competition to cheer up the fun.

But swords and guns have no eyes, just point to the contest.

Prepare some wooden sticks instead of knives and guns, wrap them with cloth strips, dip some lime to make marks, use short sticks as daggers and swords, and long sticks as long weapons, so as not to accidentally hurt people, which is not beautiful.

Well... well, I'll give out some jackpots to reward the winners.

If the Kahn family can come out on top, they will reward a full-time captain with ten barrels of beer and ten payouts for a full set of cavalry equipment.

If the captains win the contest, they will be rewarded with a house, which will be built by the Tang Dynasty.

You see...how is this good? "

Since Master Li Cha said so, the others naturally had no objection. After applauding loudly, everyone geared up and began to prepare.

Long sticks and short sticks are all ready-made, just use an ax to cut off the branches and cut them off.

The sons and nephews of the Kahn family are generally tall and strong, and they are good at using heavy weapons, such as chain flails, long axes, and heavy swords.

So the short and long sticks they made were as thick as an arm, and they were heavy.

The Chinese captains are not easy to get along with. Many of them are Kung Fu masters from the original agreement hall. They are skilled in fists, feet and weapons.

movement here

They had already been spotted by other Kahn family men by the river, they no longer had the mind to pan for gold, they put down their work one after another, and swarmed over to cheer and watch the excitement.

On the other side, the guys from the cavalry team were all cheering for the captains, making the atmosphere extremely lively.

"Sir, will you be our master from now on?" A clear and clear child's voice came from behind Li Cha.

He turned around and saw that it was a little girl with freckles, about six or seven years old, with big blue eyes and long eyelashes, staring at Li Cha curiously.

Li Cha smiled slightly, leaned over and said to her, "Little girl, what's your name?"

"My name is Brienne Kahn. I am 6 years old this year. I am the No.14 younger sister of the Kahn family. They are all my brothers." Brienne Kahn pointed to the crowd with her hand. Her face was full of pride. Although she was young, she had a sharp tongue.

This is a little girl who is blessed by God. She has been pampered by so many strong brothers since she was born. She is like a little princess. Who dares to bully her?
Li Cha didn't answer the little girl directly, but changed the subject and asked, "Then... do you want the brothers to win?"

"Of course, my brothers are very strong and can defeat anyone." The little girl Brienne said proudly.

Li Cha burst out laughing when he heard the words, feeling extremely happy.

At this time, a woman in her 30s came up in a panic, bowed to Li Cha with a reserved expression, and then took Brienne away.

Hearing Brienne's address, it turned out that this was her eldest sister, Sally, but seeing the woman's old appearance, it was not against her at all to say she was her mother.

Kahn's wife was attacked by a North American brown bear when she went into the forest to pick mushrooms last year, and died of her injuries.

The three older married daughters in the family took on the heavy responsibility of taking care of the men in the whole family.One of them was Sally, the eldest sister, who was married to one of Kahn's distant nephews.

In this era, there are so many marriages between close relatives. Anyway, the meat rots in the pot.

When the official competition started, hundreds of people had already surrounded the surrounding area. Apart from the guards and the men of the Kahn family, there were also gold diggers who came from around after hearing the news.

Every exciting part of the competition will always win thunderous cheers.

The 16 nephews of the Kahn family played against 5 Chinese captains. After the first round, the Chinese captain won a 5-0 overwhelming victory, and his momentum was greatly boosted for a while.

Feeling ashamed, Old Kahn's face was ashen, and he walked forward angrily, kicked the five nephews and juniors who had lost the game to the ground one by one, and yelled at them.

It was Li Cha who walked off the field and dragged old Kahn back with even persuasion, so that the game could continue.

This really cannot be blamed on the incompetence of the nephews of the Kahn family. They learned Western swordsmanship in actual combat, paying attention to chopping and blocking, and their simple and unpretentious moves are very suitable for fighting in battle.

This originated from the actual combat techniques that the Teutonic Knights had explored for hundreds of years. It was suitable for warriors wearing armor. The attacks were very fierce, but they were negligent in guarding against them, which gave the Chinese captains an opportunity to take advantage of.

These Chinese captains are all good fighters in martial arts, they are very flexible in moving around, they don't fight hard with each other, they basically retreat at the touch of a button.

After a few rounds, the young men of the Kahn family were covered in lime spots. If they used weapons, they would only suffer from flesh wounds, and it would be difficult to cause fatal injuries.

But losing is definitely losing, which cannot be denied.

The 5 people eliminated were all the nephews of the Kahn family, and the 16:5 turned into 11:5 in a blink of an eye.

after the pause
The five nephews and nephews of the Kahn family were all replaced with two-meter-long thick wooden sticks, each of which weighed nearly 5 pounds. They danced with great inertia, and it was uncomfortable to hit them.

Sure enough, Jiang was still old and hot, and the old Kahn also saw his own weakness, that is, every slash of Western swordsmanship was done with all his strength, powerful and heavy, and the attack was very ferocious, but too clumsy.

The Chinese captains beside Young Master Li Cha are all masters at wielding guns and swords. The young men of the Kahn family are still immature in front of them, and it is not easy to win the final victory.

The only way is to give full play to the advantages of strength.

One inch long, one inch strong!Long weapons can effectively make up for the weakness of clumsiness.

The Chinese captains were not stupid either. Seeing this situation, they all changed into equipment with a shield in one hand and a half-length stick in the other. This is the typical configuration of the sword and shield hand most suitable for fighting on the battlefield.

With a long stick in hand and a sword and shield in hand, the competition began again fiercely.

The level of the Kahn family children who played in the second round was obviously higher, and the battle was more intense. The dull sound of "ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping-pong" attracted a series of applause.

As a result of the second round of competition, the Chinese captain won 4:1.

The only Kahn family to win was James Kahn, who ranked sixth and was one of five people who were recruited into the pro-guard.

James Kahn is a 1-meter-tall strong man with infinite strength. With a long wooden stick, he slammed and slashed fiercely, smashing the shield in Zheng Laosi's hand into tatters, leaving half of his body numb Incessantly, he almost suffered an internal injury, so he had no choice but to surrender.

The so-called one force can drop ten meetings, the ancients were sincere and did not deceive themselves.

Seeing James Kahn being so brave, the other captains couldn't help but click their tongues;
Is this still a human? It's just a violent bear!

After two rounds of confrontation, the Kahn family and the captains fought 6:4, but the ones left at the end were all elite players, and it has not yet been decided who will win in the end.

The competition below was even more intense. James Kahn was really brave, eliminated a Chinese captain in the third and fourth rounds, and rushed all the way to the final.

His final opponent is Liu Wu, the personal captain.

Different from other people's combat methods, Liu Wu held a 1.3-meter-long thick wooden stick in one hand, and did not hold a shield in the other hand. He stood in the field with a knife in one hand, and said loudly in English; "James, you Do you want to rest for a while, I can wait for you."

"No need buddy, I have inexhaustible energy, and I will definitely beat you to victory." James Kahn panted heavily, and rejected Liu Wu's kindness.

He had just defeated the three Chinese captains in a row, and his energy wasted a lot. At this moment, the fighting spirit was raging in his heart, how could he back down.

"Hehehe..." Liu Wu smiled appreciatively, but he didn't let up in the slightest, but stood proudly in the center of the field and waved, saying, "Then come on, just let me see You have something."

"You'll see...kill..." James Kahn couldn't stand the shock of his words, and he rushed forward waving a thick wooden stick more than two meters long, and slashed at the head.

Liu Wu yelled "Good job", and while dodging sideways, he struck out with a stick. The back strike hit the middle of the opponent's thick wooden stick, exerting an extra force outward, pulling James' huge body to stand still. stable.

at this time
Liu Wu's Five Tigers Severing Doors sword technique, which he had been immersed in for more than ten years, suddenly used the thick wooden stick in his hand to hit his head and face violently, dancing like a windmill.

James Kahn lost the opportunity one step at a time, and lost it step by step.

He was beaten back again and again by this round of beatings, and the long wooden stick in his hand was left and right. After hearing a few muffled sounds of "puff puff", the long wooden stick in James Kahn's hand had already been knocked down. , received several heavy blows on the arm and back, and was beaten to the ground in embarrassment.

"stop……"

After yelling the word "stop", Liu Wu had already taken a step back and closed his hands. The wooden stick in his hand was attached to the back of his elbow with a knife, and he stood proudly on the spot.

Immediately there was thunderous applause and applause. There was no doubt about Liu Wu's victory, and he won it cleanly.

As expected, he was a master of the Five Tigers' Door Severing Knife. As long as he seized the opportunity with one move, no matter how powerful the opponent was, he would not be able to adapt to the stormy attack.

Seeing this scene, the old Kahn was also convinced of the defeat, and stepped forward to pay his respects very gracefully. The two looked at each other and laughed, quite a feeling of heroic sympathy.

"Chairman of the report, the latest news from Fangcaodi; your long-awaited firearms designer Samuel Colt has arrived in the Bay Area, along with dozens of technicians and workers, as well as a complete firearms production plant Equipment, how to arrange it, please show me?"

Li Cha was watching the battle with great interest, when he suddenly received the latest news from the messenger, he was overjoyed.

Mr. Colt, the epic firearms production master, is finally looking forward to you!
He almost walked away at this moment, and went to see this automatic firearms design master at the first time, but then he thought about it;
Today is a big day for the Kahn family to swear allegiance. The feast at night is of great significance, just like the wedding night of the bride and groom. How can the groom leave at this time?
Forcibly following the impulse in his patience, Richard ordered; "Immediately arrange for Mr. Colt and his party to enter the Grape Valley to rest, and then all the machinery, equipment and personnel will be transported into the Grape Valley. I will return tomorrow and inform Fangcao Field William- Mr. Richardson, I will hold a banquet in Grape Valley tomorrow night to entertain Mr. Turt and his party, please be sure to visit him."

"Understood, I'm going to deliver the letter now." After receiving the order, the messenger flew away on horseback.
