Considering that the sword has no eyes during the competition, and it is inevitable that the subordinates will be injured, and the enemy is currently injured, even if one is injured, it will be the loss of the Tang Society, Richard ordered;

"Since this is the case, then you will wait for the invitation to have a martial arts competition.

But the sword and gun have no eyes, and the competition can be pointed.

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

Well...... So, I'll come up with some jackpots to reward the winners.

If the Karn family can come out on top, they will be rewarded with the position of captain of the main rank, ten barrels of beer, and 10 pay for a full set of cavalry equipment.

If the captains win the competition, they will enjoy a house and a house, which will be built by the Datang Club, and Tong Su will not be bullied.

You see...... Isn't that good? ”

Since Young Master Richard said this, the others naturally had no objections, and after applauding, everyone began to prepare with their hands.

Long sticks and short sticks are ready-made, and the branches can be cut off with an axe and cut off.

The sons and nephews of the Karn family were generally tall and strong, and were adept at using heavy weapons such as flails, axes, and heavy swords.

Therefore, the short sticks they made were as thick as an arm, and the weight was not light.

The Chinese captains are not easy to get along with, many of them are good kung fu players in the original agreement hall, skilled in fists and feet, and have been in the rivers and lakes for many years, they are the best at fighting with blades and weapons, and they are the weakest in terms of firearms.

There's movement here

They had already been seen by the other men of the Karn family by the river, and they no longer had the heart to pan for gold, so they put down their work one after another, and flocked to cheer and watch the excitement.

On the other side, the guys of the cavalry team were all cheering for the captains, rendering the atmosphere extremely warm.

"Sir, are you henceforth our master?" A crisp child's voice came from behind Richard.

He turned to see that it was a little girl with a freckled face, about six or seven years old, with large blue eyes and long eyelashes, staring curiously at Richard.

Richard smiled slightly, leaned down and said to her; "Little girl, what's your name?"

"My name is Brienne Kahn, I'm six years old, I'm the fourteenth youngest sister in the Kahn family, and they're all my older brothers." Britney-Cahn pointed her hand into the crowd, her immature little face full of pride, she was young but her mouth was sharp.

This is a little girl blessed by God, who is spoiled by so many strong brothers as soon as she is born, like a little princess, who dares to bully her?

Richard did not answer the little girl directly, but changed the subject and asked; "So...... Do you want your brothers to win? ”

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

Richard burst out laughing when he heard this, and his mood was extremely happy.

At this time, a woman in her 30s walked up in a panic, saluted Richard with a restrained expression, and then took Brienne away.

Listening to Brienne's title, it turned out that this was her eldest sister Sally, but looking at the woman's old appearance, it was not disobedient to say that it was her mother.

Kahn Sr.'s wife died of her injuries last year when she was attacked by a North American brown bear while picking mushrooms in the forest.

The three older daughters of the family, who are already married, take on the heavy responsibility of taking care of the men of the whole family. One of them is the eldest sister, Sally, who is married to a distant nephew of Karn.

In this era, there are many close relatives who get married, and in any case, the meat rots in their own pots.

By the time the official contest began, there were already hundreds of people around, in addition to the guards and the men of the Karn family, as well as the gold diggers who had rushed to hear the news, and the water around the river beach was blocked.

Whenever the competition is exciting, it will always win thunderous cheers.

The 16 sons and nephews of the Kahn family played against 5 Chinese captains, and after the first round, the Chinese captains won an overwhelming 5-0 victory, which was a great momentum for a while.

Feeling that he had lost face, old Karn was really pale, and he stepped forward angrily, kicked the five children and nephews who lost the game to the ground one by one, and scolded him.

It was Richard who walked off the field and dragged Kahn Sr. back with persuasion, and the game could continue.

This really can't blame the sons and nephews of the Kahn family for not being strong, they learn Western combat swordsmanship, pay attention to slashing and blocking, and the tricks are simple and unpretentious, which is very suitable for battle formations.

This originated from the actual combat techniques developed by the Teutonic Knights for hundreds of years, suitable for armored warriors, and the attack was very fierce, but the lack of defense gave the Chinese captains an opportunity.

These Chinese captains are all good at fighting in the rivers and lakes, and they are very flexible in their movements, and they do not resist each other, and they basically retreat with one touch.

After a few rounds, the lads of the Karn family were covered in lime spots, and if they used weapons, they would only be flesh wounds, and it was difficult to inflict fatal damage.

But losing is definitely losing, this cannot be denied.

The five people who were eliminated were all nephews of the Kahn family, and 16:5 became 11:5 in a blink of an eye, which made old Kahn's face very unsightly, and he took the initiative to ask for a pause and personally go down to the field to instruct.

After the pause

The five sons and nephews of the Kahn family who played again were all replaced with thick wooden sticks more than two meters long, each weighing nearly twenty pounds, dancing with great inertia, and it was uncomfortable to smash on the body.

Sure enough, Jiang is still old and spicy, and old Karn also saw his own weakness, that is, every move of Western swordsmanship is full force, and the attack is very fierce, but it is too clumsy.

These Chinese captains around Young Master Richard are all masters of guns and swords, and 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 to do this is to maximize your strength.

One inch long, one inch strong! Long weapons can effectively compensate for the weakness of the clumsy body.

The Chinese captain is not stupid, seeing this scene, they have changed into a shield in one hand and a half-long stick in the other, which is the most suitable for the typical configuration of sword and shield fighters on the battlefield.

With a long stick in hand, a sword and shield on the other, the competition unfolded fiercely again.

The children of the Kahn family who played in the second round were significantly higher, and the battle was more intense, and the dull sound of "ping pong" continued, attracting a series of cheers.

In the second round of the competition, the Chinese captain won 4:1.

The only one to win for the Kahn family was James Kahn, who was sixth in the list, and one of five men who were recruited into the guard.

James Kahn is a strong giant man with a height of 1.9 meters, with infinite strength, with a long wooden stick smashing and slashing, the shield in Zheng Laosi's hand was torn, half of his body was sore, almost shocked out of internal injuries, and had to throw weapons to admit defeat.

The so-called one force will drop ten meetings, and the ancients will not deceive me.

Seeing James Kahn so brave, several other captains couldn't help but smack their tongues;

Is this still human, it's just a violent bear!

After two rounds of competition, the Karn family and the captains fought to a 6:4 draw, but those who remained at the end were all elite masters, and it is not yet known who will die in the end.

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

His last opponent was Liu Wu, the captain of the pro-soldiers.

Different from the way others fight, 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 middle of the field and held a knife flower with one hand, and said aloud in English, "James, do you want to rest for a while, I can wait for you." ”

"No need man, I have endless energy in me, and I will definitely defeat you and win." James Kahn gasped and rejected Liu Wu's kindness.

He had just defeated three Chinese captains in a row, and his strength was not small, and at this moment, his heart was full of fighting spirit, how could he retreat.

"Hehehe......" Liu Wu smiled appreciatively, and did not relax at all in his heart, but stood proudly in the center of the field and beckoned, saying; Come on, then, let me do it, and let me see how good you are. ”

"You'll see...... Kill ......" James Kahn could not stand his verbal provocation, brandishing a thick wooden stick more than two meters long and rushing up, slashing at the head.

Liu Wu shouted "It's good", and slashed out with a stick while dodging sideways, and the latter came first, just in the middle of the opponent's thick wooden stick, exerting an additional outward force, pulling James's huge body to stand unsteadily.

That's when it happened

Liu Wu's Five Tigers Broken Door Knife Technique, which had been immersed in the work for more than ten years, suddenly opened, and the thick wooden stick in his hand slashed his head and covered his face, dancing like a windmill.

James Kahn lost one step at a time, and then he lost one step at a time.

He was beaten back again and again, the long wooden stick in his hand was clumsy, and after only a few muffled sounds of "poof, poof", the long wooden stick in James Kahn's hand had been knocked off, and his arm and back were hit several times, and he fell to his knees in embarrassment.

"Stop ......"

After the word "stop" was shouted, Liu Wu had already taken a step back and withdrew his hand, and the wooden stick in his hand was put behind his elbow, and he stood proudly on the spot.

Then there was a thunderous applause and applause, and Liu Wu's victory was not in doubt, and he won it cleanly.

Sure enough, he is worthy of being the master of the Five Tigers Broken Door Knife, as long as he seizes the opportunity with one move, in the stormy attack, no matter how strong the opponent's strength is, he can't adapt to it, after all, the level is a little worse, and he can only lose with hatred.

Seeing this scene, old Karn was also convinced, and stepped forward to pay his respects with great grace, and the two looked at each other and laughed, quite a feeling of heroism.

"Report to the President, there's an update from Yerba Buenadi; Your long-awaited firearms designer, Samuel Colt, has arrived in the Bay Area, along with 10 technicians and workers, as well as a full set of firearms production plant equipment. ”

Richard was watching the battle with great interest, when he suddenly received the latest news from the herald, and his heart was overjoyed.

Mr. Colt, the epic master of firearms production, has finally come to you!

He almost walked away at the moment, and went to see this master of automatic firearms design for the first time, but after thinking about it;

Today is the day when the Kahn family swears allegiance, and the feast in the evening is of great significance, like the wedding night of the bride getting married, how can the groom go at this time?

Forcing the impulse in patience, Richard commanded; "Arrange for Mr. Colt and his party to enter the Grape Valley to rest at once, and all the subsequent machinery and personnel will be transported into the Grape Valley, and I will return tomorrow to inform Mr. William Richardson of Yerba Buena that I will have a banquet for Mr. Te and his party in the Grape Valley tomorrow evening, and ask him to enjoy their visit."

"Understood, the little one will send the letter." After receiving the order, the herald rode away.
