"My lord, by no means. That Kuba seems to be a Batur, with brute strength, not to mention adults, and even lowly positions are not his opponents. ”

When Man Gui heard that Li Hongyu was going to accept Kuba's challenge, he immediately became anxious, and hurriedly said, "Besides, the status of an adult is noble, so you can't deal with such a reckless man!" ”

Man Gui was very nervous about Li Hongyu's sudden acceptance of Kuba's challenge, knowing that Li Hongyu was a popular man in front of Emperor Wanli, and Kuba would definitely use all his strength to deal with Li Hongyu in order to win Naren Toya, in that case, Li Hongyu would be in danger.

Zhuolik Tuhun and Bahat also showed a surprised look, they didn't expect Li Hongyu to make this choice, in the eyes of the two, this is not a wise move, you must know that Kuba is the "Batur" of Inner Khalkha, which translates to "the first warrior".

No wonder the guards of Zhuolik Tuhun will release the water before, the people of the tribes on the steppe are afraid of the strong, so Batur has a high prestige, then the guards will definitely show mercy and will not fight with Kuba Zhen, to be honest, they all hope that Kuba will marry Naren Toya, and the two are a perfect match.

"Don't worry, this official won't compete with him with brute strength." Li Hongyu shook his head when he heard this, and replied quietly, "This official wants to let him know that this official is the one who is more suitable to protect Miss Naren." ”

"My lord, what do you want to compare to him?" A look of surprise suddenly flashed on Man Gui's face when he heard this, and he couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Killing enemies on the battlefield." When Li Hongyu heard this, a cold glint flashed in his eyes, and he said coldly, "A single Batur can't protect your beloved. ”

"Bring me the officer's box." As he spoke, Li Hongyu commanded a guard with a burden on his back in a deep voice.

That guard is from Baishui Town, a disciple of the Li family, and can be said to be a personal guard by Li Hongyu's side, who is responsible for keeping Li Hongyu's valuables.

Hearing this, Li's guards hurriedly took off the burden on their backs and took out a rectangular black box from it, Li Hongyu took out the key to open the lock on the box, and there was a pistol with a wooden handle and a steel barrel with a percussive flintlock in it.

This flintlock pistol was purchased by the Honghai Firm from a French merchant in Guangzhou in September last year, and it was sent to the capital before the test.

Li Hongyu has already tested it, and this flintlock pistol not only greatly simplifies the process of shooting, but also improves the rate of fire and shooting accuracy, and it is very convenient to use.

Compared with the arquebus, the advantage of the flintlock pistol is naturally its firing device, a piece of flint is clamped on the jaws of the hammer, and a blow anvil is provided on the side of the fire transmission hole, and the trigger is pulled when shooting, and the flint is hit heavily on the edge of the fire door under the action of the spring, and sparks emerge to ignite the gunpowder.

The birth of the flintlock pistol changed the landscape of the battlefield, unlike the arquebus, the flintlock pistol allowed soldiers to form a dense formation on the battlefield due to its convenient firing performance.

This formation usually has a long transverse plane to increase the shooting area, but the depth is very small, as long as three or four rows can ensure that the formation continuously fires projectiles to attack, so as to achieve a "thunderous salvo".

Although the flintlock pistol was invented by the French in the mid-to-late 16th century, it was not until the mid-17th century that it was widely installed by European armies due to the assassination of King Henry IV of France and the opposition of the French generals to the installation of flintlock pistols in the armies on the grounds that "the sparks from the flint were not enough to ignite black powder".

Li Hongyu certainly knew that the flintlock pistol had been on the battlefield for two hundred years after it was equipped with European armies, and it was only in the mid-19th century that it was replaced by a breech-loading gun.

To tell the truth, Li Hongyu didn't expect to get a flintlock pistol now, but by chance, a French businessman with a flintlock pistol came to Guangzhou, and was met by someone from Honghai Firm, which made Li Hongyu get a flintlock pistol, and it was a flintlock pistol, which can be described as providential.

Li Hongyu had already taken charge of the muskets and the three-masted galleon, so Sun Hongye, the head of the Honghai firm in Canton, paid a sufficient deposit and ordered from the French merchant a thousand flintlock pistols and two three-masted galleons with cannons, which were delivered within three years.

Moreover, Sun Hongye agreed with the French merchant that the more flintlock pistols and three-masted galleons there were, the better, and that if there was any surplus, they would buy them at market price.

In other words, Sun Hongye had made a large arms deal with the French merchant, because before leaving Xiangyang Mansion, he felt that Li Hongyu was bound to get the flintlock pistol and the three-masted galleon, so he made such a big deal with the French merchant.

In Li Hongyu's view, only with a strong military force, especially at sea, can the smooth progress of overseas trade be ensured.

Li Hongyu had already thought about it, even if he couldn't control the sailor when the arms were handed over, then he would find a way to receive the arms, and it was a big deal to escort Daming's overseas trade in the name of mercenaries.

Because Daming still has a ban on the sea, so the French merchant naturally can't directly drive the gun and ship to Daming, he has to park the ship and gun in the Nanyang first, and then Sun Hongye will find a way to hand over to him, and if he can't return to the Ming Dynasty for a while, he will place the ship in the Nanyang.

In today's world, I am afraid that only Li Hongyu knows the military value of the flintlock pistol, so of course he must find a way to pocket such a good gun, and in the near future, there will be a fierce collision between cold weapons and hot weapons on the battlefield.

It is worth mentioning that Li Hongyu's flintlock pistol uses paper shell bullets, which is also a new technology in Europe, which further increases the rate of fire of the flintlock pistol.

The so-called paper shell bullet is a paper cartridge covered with grease on the outside, which contains a certain amount of gunpowder and a projectile.

When it is used, the gunner only needs to bite open the paper cartridge, pour part of the gunpowder in the paper shell bullet into the firing pool, and then stuff the remaining gunpowder and projectiles into the barrel with a strip.

"I'm definitely not your opponent if it's more powerful, but it's not anyone's strength that can win on the battlefield, and we have to see if there are good weapons."

Under the surprised gaze of everyone, Li Hongyu bit off the cartridge of the paper shell bullet, loaded the flintlock pistol with a projectile, and then looked at Kuba and said, "In this way, let's try to see who can hit an object in the distance." ”

"Okay, that's it!" After Man Gui translated to Kuba, Kuba did not hesitate at all, and immediately nodded and agreed.

"Let's compete in three games, two wins in three games, whoever can hit the jar ten feet away will win." The corners of Li Hongyu's mouth suddenly flashed with an imperceptible smile, and he proposed the rules of the game to Kuba in a deep voice, "If everyone can hit the jar, then whoever can bring the most damage wins." ”

"That's it!" Kuba agreed to Li Hongyu's conditions after learning about them, and he was very confident in his archery skills, so he would not lose to Li Hongyu.

"Khalkhahan, you come to preside over this competition, if the official loses, then he is willing to retire and fulfill this Batur, but if the official wins, he will be the official's entourage!" Seeing that Kuba agreed, Li Hongyu solemnly said to Zhuolik Tuhong.

"Okay, I promise you." Although Zhuolik Tuhong was a little reluctant in his heart, Kuba obviously followed Li Hongyu and made a greater contribution to the Fifth Inner Khalkha Division, so he agreed to Li Hongyu's request with a little groaning, and felt quite curious in his heart, didn't Li Hongyu know that the Mongols were good at riding and shooting?

Li Hongyu is aware of this, of course, but he has tested the performance of the flintlock pistol in his hand, so he is quite confident that he can defeat Kuba.

Naren Toya learned that Li Hongyu was going to shoot with Kubabi, and an anxious look suddenly appeared on his cheeks, Kuba is the number one warrior in Inner Khalkha, and his archery skills are unmatched because of his great strength, Li Hongyu is bound to lose compared to him.

Naren Toya wanted to persuade Li Hongyu to change the content of the competition, but unfortunately Li Hongyu had already made up his mind with Kuba about this matter, and Zhuolik Tuhong would be the witness, so she had to wait for the result with concern and secretly pray that Li Hongyu would win.

The news of Li Hongyu's acceptance of Kuba's challenge caused the men and women of the Uziyat to cheer, and everyone wanted to know which of the two would win, so two tables were quickly set up around the campfire, each with a basketball-sized ceramic jar on it.

One zhang is about three meters, so Li Hongyu and Kuba stood side by side thirty meters away from the ceramic jar, holding flintlock pistols and bows and arrows respectively to aim at the ceramic jar in front of them.

Beside the two, Bahat raised his right hand high, as long as he gave the signal then Li Hongyu and Kuba will shoot at the same time, according to the best-of-three rules, whoever wins two games first will win.

The scene was silent, and people stood on both sides of the competition venue on three floors and three layers outside, looking at the scene in front of them with great interest.

Although Kuba is the first warrior of the five divisions of Inner Khalkha, Li Hongyu is a thousand households of the Ming Dynasty must be extraordinary, maybe there is some stunt, otherwise how dare he test his shooting skills with Kubabi? Therefore, it is really hard to say who killed the deer.

"Shoot!" Under the eager gaze of the people, Bahat suddenly lowered his right hand and shouted loudly.

When Li Hongyu heard this, he pulled the trigger, and the flintlock pistol suddenly made a muffled "bang", a cloud of white smoke rose from the gun, and a small black dot whistled out from the muzzle of the gun, and flew towards the ceramic jar in front of him.

At the same time, Kuba let go of the arrow he was holding, and the arrow flew out with a whoosh, drawing a gentle parabola in the air and landing on the distant ceramic jar.

With a snap, the ceramic jar in front of Li Hong was the first to hear a crisp sound, and the jar shook a few times and stopped there.

Then, with a muffled thud, Kuba's arrow pierced the ceramic jar in front of him, and the tail of the arrow trembled slightly.

With a bang, the people at the scene immediately cheered, and they all applauded Kuba, and shot arrows into a ceramic jar from thirty meters away, which only a few archers with amazing strength could do.

Kuba smiled and raised the bow in his hand, receiving the cheers of the people around him, and at the same time looked at Li Hongyu with a sneer, although Li Hongyu also shot the ceramic jar but the projectile was bounced off, so naturally he won the game.

"That's a lot of arm strength!" Li Hongyu glanced at the arrow tied to the ceramic jar in the distance with some surprise, and then looked at Kuba with a smug expression, it seems that this guy's strength is not ordinary, and he will definitely shoot through the opposing infantry's charging infantry on the battlefield.

Naren Toya's face became a little pale, her eyes were full of anxious looks, it was obvious that Kuba had taken advantage of the force, if Li Hongyu didn't want to fight back, then Kuba would win this competition, she didn't want to marry Kuba, a ruthless bull.
