Chapter 215: Duel
Guo Zhiyuan shook his head and laughed, and suddenly his figure flashed in front of Thomas, and with lightning speed, he pulled out the flint hair hidden under the official robe, directly on Thomas's head, and said coldly: "Duel is okay, the way is up to you!" But before you do that, you have to apologize for what you just said, or you will never have the chance to duel again in your life! ……”
Although there were flintlock pistols in Europe at this time, there was no large-scale assembly of the army, because the technology of flintlock pistols was not mature at that time, and there were often situations where ignition could not be ignited, and the cost was relatively expensive, so it was not popularized, colonial armies like the Manila City Guard were still equipped with arquebuses, Thomas was only a low-level officer before, so he had never seen a flintlock pistol, and although this gun looked like a musket, there was no arquebus, which was completely beyond Thomas's cognition, as the so-called ignorant fearless, Thomas was not afraid when he was held to the top of his head, and sneered: "You stupid biological man, do you think that a metal stick like a musket can scare me? You're not going to tell me this is your man-made musket, are you? You don't even shoot with an arquebus? ......" said and prepared to snatch the flintlock pistol in Guo Zhiyuan's hand!
"Bang!" With a loud bang, Guo Zhiyuan's muzzle of the gun was deflected, and a sculpture on the lawn was shattered!
Thomaston was scared to pee! I didn't expect the musket in Guo Zhiyuan's hand to really be able to fire, he is finally starting to be scared now, his feet are starting to tremble, and he can't stand a little unsteadily, if Guo Zhiyuan's shot hits his head just now, his head will end up with the shattered sculpture! The other Spaniards present were also stunned, most of them had never seen a musket that could be fired without lighting a fire rope, and they didn't expect Guo Zhiyuan to really dare to shoot. Especially Acuña and Miguel and other high-level people are full of shock, they know the existence of flintlock pistols, because of this they are also very aware of the difficulty of flintlock pistols generally equipped with the army, if the Chinese are generally equipped with such advanced weapons, then they have to re-understand the strength of this mysterious eastern power.
Of course, Thomas is the captain of the Wangcheng Guards after all, and the guards under him saw that their captain was held to the head with a gun by Guo Zhiyuan, and they quickly recovered from shock and hurriedly picked up the musket in their hands and aimed it at Guo Zhiyuan.
Seeing that there were many people in Thomas, he was a little more courageous, and he forced himself to color and said, "You... How dare you shoot?! You killed me, you and your people... Don't... Don't want to leave alive... Get out of Manila! ……”
Guo Zhiyuan didn't look at the muzzle of the gun pointed at him, continued to put the gun to Thomas's head, and said coldly: "I repeat it, apologize for what you just said, now!" Immediately! I'll count dozens of counts, and if you don't apologize after counting ten, you see if I dare to kill you, 10, 9, 8......"
Thomas's cold sweat came down, and he secretly glanced at Acuña, Acuña didn't know what he was thinking at this time, he actually didn't speak with a gloomy face, Thomas finally couldn't hold it back, and shouted in a bit of a breakdown: "Okay! I apologize for what I just said! You lunatic! ……”
Guo Zhiyuan put away the flintlock pistol at this time, turned his head and smiled at Acuña, who had a gloomy face and did not speak: "Your Excellency the Governor, I also regret the matter of Fang Cai, I came with sincerity, but I don't seem to see your sincerity......"
Acuña has not completely recovered from the shock just now, Ali, the lack of information about the opponent made him unable to make an accurate judgment for a while, only by finding out Guo Zhiyuan's hole cards can he make a decision, so he groaned slightly, and then said quietly: "The messenger from the east, Thomas has a more reckless personality, Fang Cai's words are indeed a little rude, he also apologized for what he said, don't mention it again......"
Speaking of this, he glanced at Thomas and continued: "But Thomas, as a knight, you just threatened him with a musket, which is also an insult to him, and the honor of a knight cannot be insulted, since he has already challenged you to fight a duel, this challenge cannot be withdrawn......"
When Thomas received Acuña's eyes, he suddenly became angry again, and shouted, "Yes, duel!" ……”
Guo Zhiyuan glanced at Thomas casually, and said with a slight smile: "Okay, I accept Thomas's dueling challenge!" Guo Zhiyuan seemed to glance casually, but Thomas felt a strong murderous aura from his sharp eyes, he was almost scared by Guo Zhiyuan just now, leaving a psychological shadow, and he was so frightened by Guo Zhiyuan's eyes that he couldn't help but take a step back.
Acuña glared at Thomas with some annoyance, this guy always drops the chain at critical moments, but his original intention is also to find out Guo Zhiyuan's hole cards, and at the same time give Guo Zhiyuan a dismount, so that Guo Zhiyuan will not dare to make "excessive" demands in the next negotiations, instead of really going to engage in any duel, so he said quietly: "You also said just now, the way of the duel can be chosen by Thomas, and the duel will inevitably lead to deaths and injuries, Thomas is the captain of the royal city guard, you are a messenger from the east, It is not good for either of you to hurt anyone, according to our Spanish tradition, knight duels can be replaced by his servants, so you and Thomas each choose their servants from their own guards to duel, whether they live or die, what? ……”
Thomaston's eyes lit up, although he was taller than Guo Zhiyuan, but Guo Zhiyuan showed very agility just now, and he also felt that he had no bottom in his heart, but if he could let Hu Cong play instead of fighting, it would be easy to do, he has a "secret weapon", as long as this "secret weapon" appears, it will definitely be a sure victory! Immediately shouted excitedly: "Yes, let our servants duel in our place!" ......", without waiting for Guo Zhiyuan's consent, he shouted into the ranks of guards behind him: "Amos, get out of the ranks!" ”
I saw a strong man with a height of nearly two meters walking out of the guard team, this strong man is really not an ordinary strong, he is like a big black bear standing up, his limbs are thick and powerful, and he walks with a compelling might, no wonder Thomas is so confident, ordinary people face this Amos, just stand there and let you fight, you can't fight, and this Amos is not only brute force, he also worked as a gladiator before joining the army, and also created a hundred consecutive victories in the gladiatorial arena, which has not been broken so far. Acuña found him when he was watching the gladiatorial performance, and asked him to come over to serve as his own bodyguard, and Acuña brought him over after serving as governor in the Philippines, and let him join his royal city guard.
Guo Zhiyuan almost laughed out loud at this time, although he has always insisted on training with the regimental training villagers, Fa Zheng often instructs him in martial arts, and his skills are far stronger than ordinary people, even if he is not afraid of a duel with Thomas, but it will take some effort to defeat Thomas, and now Acuña has taken the initiative to propose that he can send Hu Cong to fight, it is simple, with Fa Zheng's skills, this kind of one-on-one duel is not nine out of ten. He beckoned to Fa Zheng behind him and said with a smile: "Fa Zheng, you go and meet this big man for a while, just don't kill him......
Fa Zheng was overjoyed when he heard it, he was a martial idiot, as long as he heard that there was a fight, he was immediately extremely excited, not to mention that he had never competed with foreign devils, and when he heard that he was going to compete with foreign devils, his mouth was about to burst into laughter, and he usually couldn't let go of Chu Wan'er and Zhang Cheng's competition, for fear of hurting Chu Wan'er and Zhang Cheng, and now Guo Zhiyuan said that as long as he didn't kill people, then he could let go of it, and immediately shouted excitedly, "Yes!" "I ran out of the queue.
Spaniards are more aggressive, usually like to watch bullfighters perform or something, and when they hear that they are going to duel, they are very excited, and immediately vacate the venue. Fazheng's figure is relatively burly among the Chinese, but it is obviously far worse than Amos, and Amos stands against him, just like a chicken standing in front of an eagle, the Spaniards think that Amos will win, and they shout excitedly: "Amos, kill him!" Kill this biological man! ”
Amos glanced at Fa Zheng contemptuously, in his eyes Fa Zheng was already a dead man, ostentatiously beat his chest muscles, and then suddenly launched, picked up the big fist of the sea bowl, and rushed towards Fa Zheng like a tank, the power is extremely amazing, I have to say that this Amos fighting experience is still very rich, he seems to be simple and rude towards Fa Zheng rushed straight over, in fact, he left a back move, including how Fa Zheng dodged, how he changed his moves.
How do you know that Fazheng saw him rushing straight over, but he also yelled excitedly: "It's a good time!" Amos was even more overjoyed when he saw it, like this kind of hard direct collision, it must be the advantage of the tall and heavy side, Fa Zheng used his own shortcomings to fight his strengths in his opinion, he still had the strength to change his moves, and when he saw this situation, he naturally no longer left his strength, and kicked hard with his thick legs, kicking the turf on the lawn to splash up, accelerating again, and the fists of the two collided directly together like Mars hitting the earth!
Guo Zhiyuan was originally very confident in Fa Zheng, but when he saw that Fa Zheng gave up his agile strengths, he chose to go head-to-head with Amos, who was obviously amazingly powerful, and he felt a little bottomless in his heart.
