Chapter 1048 Return the Mirror

"Wen Dou?" Schroeb was puzzled.

"No casualties?" Zhou Kun didn't know what Li Zicheng's idea was, so he had to look at Li Zicheng with a blank look.

Li Zicheng met the eyes of the two and said, "What the head of the soldiers rely on is the fire # guns in the hands of the Portuguese soldiers," seeing that Shi Luobao was nodding, he didn't feel secretly happy in his heart, "That's it, our South China Sea Fleet and the head of the soldiers, each send three soldiers, use their own guns to test marksmanship outside, whichever side of the soldier wins, it means which side wins, what do you think?" ”

Zhou Kun was the first to applaud, although he didn't know if the emperor's personal soldiers could win, but since the emperor had such an idea, he must be sure!

Schrobao was hesitant, the marksmanship of the Portuguese soldiers, compared with the Orientals, he had a self-confidence in his heart, but this matter was too big, in case he couldn't get it right, he would lose the mirror......

The weapons of the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, the best one is the fire gun, whether it is the range or the rate of fire, it is far inferior to the fire # guns in the hands of the Portuguese soldiers, Huaxia inherited the Ming Dynasty, although there are firearms, but it will not be stronger than the Ming Dynasty!

Thinking of this, his heart moved, and he said, "What does the deputy commander mean, how should I test my marksmanship?" ”

Li Zicheng said: "It's very simple, set up a wooden target in front of the soldiers, and see which soldier can shoot the bull's-eye!"

Although Zhou Kun was a little worried, however, the soldiers of the South China Sea Fleet were not equipped with rifles, and if they faced the battle, they would definitely be the emperor's own soldiers, and he was not too anxious in his heart, so everything would be left to the emperor.

If you defeat the Portuguese in the tournament, it is better than the battlefield, at least the emperor will not be in danger!

Shi Luobao smiled coldly and said, "What if the soldiers on both sides can shoot the bull's-eye?" ”

"Oh, how many coincidences are there?" Li Zicheng smiled faintly and said, "Lord Yibingtou, how to decide the winner?" ”

"Distance," Schroeb said, "Counting the distance, whichever side is far from the bull's-eye, the side wins!"

Li Zicheng was secretly happy, but said in his mouth: "How far is it appropriate?" ”

Schroeder said: "Start with a hundred steps, if you can't decide the winner, then move the wooden target backwards until the winner is decided......"

Li Zicheng frowned suddenly, and said, "Lord Soldier, if the soldiers on both sides are divided into winners and losers, what should be done with Hao Jing?" Before the competition, there must be some rules!"

Schroeder asked rhetorically, "What did the deputy commander say?" ”

"Simple," Li Zicheng said resolutely: "If the Portuguese soldiers win, even if we fail to land, the Chinese soldiers will evacuate Haojing tomorrow morning, and Haojing will maintain the status quo!"

Schrobao nodded, it seemed that the Portuguese soldiers had won, and their faces were full of confidence.

"In case the soldiers of Huaxia win by luck," Li Zicheng smiled indifferently: "Within three days, the head of the soldiers must evacuate Haojing with all the Portuguese, rest assured, your belongings can be taken away, but real estate such as houses and forts must be left intact." ”

Zhou Kun naturally would not object, from Shi Luobao to the matter of range, he was secretly happy in his heart, the soldiers of the South China Sea Fleet were not equipped with Xining rifles, but the range of Xining rifles, who did not know the soldiers in Huaxia? Not to mention him, the commander of the fleet!

Shi Luobao's cold and green eyes flickered, he bit his lip hard, and said, "A word is a certainty!" As if he was worried about Zhou Kun's debts, he glanced at Zhou Kun and said, "What did the commander say?" ”

"It's a deal!"

At this time, no one cares

For dinner, both sides went out to pick out the marksmen among the soldiers.

The venue of the competition is at the foot of Fortress Hill, in front of St. Paul's Cathedral on the right side of the Fortress Yamen.

The sky was already very dark, but the soldiers on both sides lit countless torches, although the firelight was a little flickering, but the light was very bright, and the bull's-eye a hundred steps away could be seen clearly.

Soldiers on both sides took sides, making way for the middle passage.

Although no one spoke, Schrobao and Zhou Kun were the highest officials on both sides, so they naturally became the referees of the game.

In fact, there is no need for referees, there are hundreds of soldiers on both sides watching, and it is clear who wins and who loses.

When the news of torches, noises, and competitions came out, even the monks of St. Paul's Cathedral were alarmed, and one by one, wearing wide-sleeved cannons, huddled among the soldiers, stretched their necks and looked at the wooden target in the center.

On the side of the South China Sea Fleet, He Xiaomi took the lead, and there were two veterans, both of whom were people who had been in contact with rifles in the early days.

In fact, when the Xining rifle began to be equipped with the Heavenly Mandate Army, Li Zicheng's personal soldiers were equipped with a general flag, and the rifle was played in his hands for so long, and the performance and accuracy would not be too bad.

He Xiaomi himself was very nervous, but he still comforted the two veterans, "We have used the rifle for so long, and there is no shortage of ammunition for training, who knows whether these soldiers in Portugal are veterans or recruits, maybe they don't have as much time to play with guns as ours......"

Zhou Kun is the highest officer on the side of Huaxia, so he naturally wants to accompany Shi Luobao, Li Zicheng quietly stepped back and summoned He Xiaomi and the two veterans over, "How about it, are you sure of winning?" ”

He Xiaomi's body straightened, gave a military salute, and said: "The emperor can rest assured, the minister is broken to pieces, and he will win the game!"

"Why bother to break bones?" Li Zicheng looked at the other two pro-soldiers and said with a smile: "Actually, no matter who wins or loses, for Huaxia, the result is the same. ”

He Xiaomi: "......"

Li Zicheng waved his hand, smiled mysteriously, and said, "Go, no matter what, Haojing will return to Huaxia." ”

He Xiaomi took two personal soldiers to the test site, although the emperor said that the victory or defeat of the game has nothing to do with Hao Jing, but for the honor of the soldiers, he will still go all out.

However, the pressure is obviously much less.

About a hundred paces to the left of the main entrance of St. Paul's Church, two round wooden targets the size of bathtubs stand quietly, with circles on the wooden targets, painted in different colors, and the smallest circle in the center, only the size of a bowl, looks particularly bright red.

Six soldiers from China and Portugal stood in front of their respective wooden targets, which were also a hundred paces away from them, almost at the entrance of the main entrance of St. Paul's Church.

According to the order of the draw, the Chinese soldiers fired first, three bullets for a soldier, and then for the Portuguese soldiers, it was also three bullets; At the end of the first round, the two sides will make a second substitution.

Three soldiers, each facing each other, the game is calculated as a best-of-three game, and the side with two soldiers winning is the final winner.

In the event of a tie, the small score is calculated based on the soldier who is not a draw, and the side with more small points wins.

Li Zicheng is very familiar with such rules, which are very similar to the rules of archery competitions in the Olympic Games in later generations.

Schrobao and Zhou Kun stood behind the soldiers on both sides, acting as both referees and starters.

Zhou Kun just passively implemented Li Zicheng's idea, and was a little nervous in his heart, what if he lost to the Portuguese, what would Hao Jing do? The emperor personally led the South China Sea Fleet

, is it for nothing?

He Xiaomi was the first to play, but nodded comfortingly at Zhou Kun, making Zhou Kun's heart feel a little better.

In the first round of He Xiaomi's duel with the Portuguese soldiers, the two sides were tied, and the six bullets were all shot at the heart part of the wooden target.

Hidden in the crowd, Li Zicheng had been observing the muskets of the Portuguese soldiers, and found that every time the Portuguese soldiers fired, they had to reload their bullets from the rear.

A contemptuous smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Not just a single shot, but a breech gun!

It is also at the same level as the Dutch's fire # gun, and it is a whole generation worse than the Xining rifle in China!

The two sides of the second round of the duel still had no choice between winners and losers, and the six bullets all passed through the red heart part on the wooden target, and they were still full rings.

Li Zicheng smiled on his face, but there were beads of sweat oozing from Schrobao's head, and the three soldiers selected by the Portuguese army, the two in front were almost sharpshooters, but the third sharpshooter could not be found in the army.

The third soldier can only barely make do, when he plays well, he is comparable to the two soldiers in front, but more often, his archery skills are mediocre, not much better than ordinary soldiers.

Others don't know, Shi Luobao himself knows, he originally expected the first two soldiers to be able to defeat the Huaxia soldiers, and the third soldier didn't even have to play, but the first two soldiers were tied with the Huaxia soldiers, and the third soldier had to play......

Schrobao was not only worried about the defeat of Portugal, but also shocked by the archery skills of the Chinese soldiers!

Just when Shi Luobao was panicking, the third soldier of Huaxia Country had already finished shooting, and the bullet hit the red heart, and the surrounding Huaxia soldiers cheered, they were already invincible.

Shi Luobao was even more nervous, he even had a trace of regret in his heart, he had known that this was the case, he shouldn't have fought with Huaxia Wen at that time, and it would be no good to win, Haojing could only maintain the status quo, in case he lost......

At this time, it was too late to regret it, and the third soldier of the Portuguese country had already begun to shoot.

"Bang!"

A bullet, at a speed that is not visible to the naked eye, flew towards the wooden target a hundred steps away, although the surrounding Portuguese soldiers could not see the bullet clearly, but there was an extra bullet hole in the bull's-eye, after a short silence, followed by a burst of cheers, many soldiers also snapped their fingers......

Schrobao didn't look at the wooden target, but from the cheers of the soldiers, he knew that this third soldier lived up to expectations and completed an almost impossible task!

Li Zicheng was behind Zhou Kun's side, almost behind the Portuguese soldier, he smiled indifferently and stretched out his thumb to the Portuguese soldier, "Okay, good marksmanship!" He glanced at the translator again.

The interpreter hurriedly said to Shi Luobao: "The emperor...... The deputy commander said, "Okay, good marksmanship!" His voice was loud, and the gunman in Portugal could definitely hear it!

The corner of the soldier's mouth twitched, his body did not move, and the second shot hit the bull's-eye again.

Schrobao breathed a sigh of relief, closed his eyes, and prayed secretly in his heart: "God bless ......"

The interpreter said Li Zicheng's words of admiration again, and asked the name of the Portuguese soldier, but Schrobao ignored him.

"Bang!"

Schroeder opened his eyes and froze, although the bullet hit the target, it did not pass through the heart!

According to the rules agreed in advance, in this cultural battle, the Portuguese soldiers were defeated, which means that the battle of Haojing, Portugal was defeated, and Haojing must be returned to China!
