The day has entered a cold winter. The goose feather like snow fell in the air and covered the whole Gaoyuan city with a layer of snow-white.

After the sun came out during the day, the heavy snow gradually stopped. The Tianshou pavilion was covered with snow. The foot light soldiers in the city began to remove the snow with brooms and clean the steps. The samurai stationed in the garrison also began a day's training. They all changed into wooden knives and practiced one-on-one with each other.

On the training ground, in addition to practicing with a knife, you can occasionally see a stout man with only a crotch cloth hanging all over his body, dealing with four or five feet holding a wooden knife empty handed.

On the horse farm on one side of Erzhiwan, a dozen horsemen, carrying arrow pots and long bows, drove their horses and practiced riding and shooting on the arrow target 20 or 30 steps away.

At this time, in addition to swordsmanship, samurai must also be familiar with marksmanship, jujitsu (non judo), archery, riding, and cultural Chinese characters.

Similarly, as a warrior, he must get up early and practice martial arts day and night. This is a tradition handed down from the Ping'an era.

Unless those Samurai with hereditary territory, as a samurai serving the king with martial arts, it is necessary to have good martial arts, which is the capital of samurai.

Daming will generally give you salary according to your contribution to the master's family and your ability. If the warrior neglects or is not suitable for fighting, Daming will ruthlessly deprive you of your salary.

This is the same as the saying often spoken by future bosses. Employees should be able to live up to your salary, otherwise they are ready to leave.

In the Warring States period, because of repeated wars and barren land in Japan, it was normal to make trouble with famine and other things. At this time, not only the farmers, but also the samurai and even the city Lord himself can't eat enough.

At this time, some big names either take the means of salary reduction, or they will directly expel the lowly warriors in their family.

The most extreme is the demon king of Zhitian family. In order to keep his generals motivated, he will fire several backward elements from time to time, such as veteran Zuo Jiujian Xinsheng, his son Zuo Jiujian Xinrong, Lin Xiuzhen, Ando shoujiu, Danyu Shisheng, etc.

So in Gaoyuan City, even without Takeda shenglai's urging, his warriors keep training every day, rain or shine, and no one will be lazy.

Just as the warriors in the city were practicing their martial arts, the sound of the impact of gun poles and wooden knives kept coming from a small courtyard in Gaoyuan city.

The air was filled with a cold breath. Occasionally, the tip of the gun suddenly rolled up a large piece of snow and drifted away. On the cloister of the courtyard, a dozen warriors sat in various postures, throwing wooden knives and armor at random. They held their breath and watched the confrontation in the courtyard.

Li Xiao stood in the center of the field with his legs eight characters apart, holding a gun in both hands, and wearing a bamboo armor head pocket. Now the head of the four meter long gun in his hand has been removed, and the two ends of the gun are wrapped with a cotton ball stained with black charcoal powder.

He was confronted by eight warriors holding wooden knives and also wearing bamboo armor. They were moving slowly in parallel around Li Xiao. Their eyes were fixed on each other tightly and did not dare to be distracted. Several people were nervous to hold sweat with their hands holding wooden knives in this winter. Even their breathing could not be smooth, and white smoke spewed out from their mouths and noses.

At this time, Li Xiao was still calm and looked down. He felt that the big gun had become a whole with his people, and his breathing was smooth and orderly. In the face of many people attacking on all sides, his sight could not take into account the range of 360 degrees, and his opponent also confused himself with moving fast and slow, making him feel like grass and trees are all soldiers.

The more this time, the more calm you should be, and then concentrate your efforts to launch a fierce attack on the attacker.

Ten minutes passed. In this way, Li Xiao sat still like an old monk. At this time, a warrior finally lost his breath and attacked Li Xiao's left side with a wooden knife, while another warrior took advantage of his idea to attract Li Xiao and took the opportunity to force the gap behind Li Xiao.

At the moment, the big gun in Li Xiao's hand was like a python. He first attacked the warrior behind him. He only heard a dull noise. The barrel of the gun just poked on the bamboo armor on the other party's chest, leaving dark traces of charcoal powder. And the other party was also hit by this impulse with his feet on all fours and his vest on the ground.

One.

Li Xiao gave a big drink, twisted his legs and avoided the wooden knife from the left. As soon as he pulled his left arm, the flexible gun rod bounced back like a spring, and stabbed another person with the tail of the gun cleanly. Then Li Xiaoheng opened the wooden knife attacked by the other two people.

Two.

Then Li Xiao threw the big gun in all directions, danced tightly, and forced several other warriors who wanted to take advantage of the short inch of the wooden knife to break into Li Xiao's circle of big guns and confront him at close range.

Use the length advantage of the big gun to keep a sufficient distance and do not give the enemy any chance to attack the circle. In this way, we can remain invincible. This is the only trick to fight with a long gun and a samurai sword. It is the so-called "one inch long, one inch strong, one inch short and one inch risk".

Two of the eight warriors were struck by the black charcoal powder at the tip of the gun. They were sentenced to defeat. They retreated to one side and had a rest. There were still six people left on the field.

"Lord Li Xiao's martial arts have improved again."

On the Tianshou Pavilion in Gaoyuan City, a small window is opening obliquely, and the position of the window is just opposite the corner of Li Xiao's martial arts competition.

Behind the small window, the city Lord Takeda shenglai and Yamamoto kamaku both stood, holding their chests in their hands and watching carefully. Why did Li Xiao pick eight. These eight people are not ordinary agricultural soldiers. They are all flag warriors under Takeda shenglai, and several of them have experienced several joint wars.

Hearing Yamamoto's rare praise for Li Xiao, Takeda shenglai said with a smile: "yes, a month ago, his strength was almost to challenge four warriors with one person. Ten days later, he increased from four to six. Five days ago, he could fight eight warriors."

Yamamoto shook his head and said, "no, what does this mean? It just means that he is powerful in group warfare. Isn't the director of long handled weapons just in the battle array? If he meets a swordsman and duels one-on-one, Li Xiao may not be so relaxed."

As soon as Yamamoto's words were finished, Li Xiao kicked a samurai and solved another one in the twinkling of an eye.

Based on the good nutrition of modern people and the foundation laid, Li Xiao is far higher than the Japanese Samurai with an average height of 1.5 meters in both body shape and strength.

It is the so-called "one force reduces ten meetings", so Li Xiao's strength is far higher than that of the ancients in the same period, which is not difficult.

Takeda shenglai said with a smile, "I don't think so. You don't know. Li Xiao said when chatting with him yesterday that he went to a sword Taoist temple in Suwa visiting town ten days ago. One man defeated the other's guild leader and six or seven disciples in the wheel battle."

Yamamoto's eyes narrowed slightly. How could he not know that Li Xiao went to Suwa's town for a martial arts contest? A special Ninja reported Li Xiao's whereabouts to Yamamoto all day.

In the message from Ninja, Li Xiao's visit to Suwa town was a challenge.

The process is to go in and knock over more than a dozen beginner disciples practicing swordsmanship in the other party's Dojo, and finally use words to ridicule and force the other party's Hall master and his own disciples to fight one-on-one.

Li Xiao used a big gun to have a wheel fight with the disciples of the Taoist school. One person won seven games in a row. In the last moment, he broke the ribs of the owner of the other school. That's all. The most outrageous thing is that Li Xiaolin took away the signboard outside the Taoist temple when he left. The reason is to keep it for a souvenir.

It's really a bit cruel to beat people without hitting the face and not plant signboards in kicking.

Yamamoto shook his head when he thought of this. He didn't know that in China four hundred years later, there was a film called JingWuMen. There was an actor named Bruce Lee in the film, who was the most admired idol of Li Xiao's student age.

The most awesome thing in the movie is Bruce Lee's single shot of Japan's Dojo with a double stick. So after the journey, Li Xiao decided to carry forward the sport and was ready to stick to it as a hobby for a long time.
