Reborn as King of South America

Chapter 11 Sniper Contest
At the shooting range, more than twenty soldiers were preparing to shoot.

"Start!" As soon as the referee officer finished speaking, continuous gunfire rang out on the field.

The shooting competition mainly tests the soldiers' shooting accuracy and loading speed.

Within one minute, all twenty-five men had fired their bullets, and the soldier marking the target ran to calculate the scores.

"Daniu, these twenty-five people are all good talents. After the competition, let them all join the special forces."

Li Mingyuan did not look at the soldiers' shooting results. From their shooting movements, it could be seen that each of them was an expert in accurate shooting.

"Sir, would you like to meet the five soldiers with the best marksmanship? I will call them to see you."

"No need, I'll go directly to them." Li Mingyuan said with a smile.

"Brothers, the prince is here to see you." Zhou Daniu shouted as soon as he arrived at the shooting range.

"The prince is here, everyone line up." The officer presiding over the shooting competition stopped the excited shooters and spoke.

"I just saw from the side that everyone's shooting skills are very good," Li Mingyuan said with a smile as he looked at the soldiers standing in a row.

"Prince, I haven't used my best skills yet. How about I show you a few of them?" A man in his twenties who was standing in front of the soldiers said eagerly.

"Wang Chenglin, you have no right to speak in front of the prince." Zhou Daniu was worried that Wang Chenglin would leave a bad impression on Li Mingyuan, so he scolded him.

"Daniu, he is one of the five people with the best shooting skills you mentioned."

"Yes, Prince, Wang Chenglin was the company commander under me. When we attacked Dulaya, he killed thirteen Peruvian soldiers by himself."

"A strong general has no weak soldiers. You are a good leader, Daniu."

Hearing Li Mingyuan's praise, Zhou Daniu's face was full of smiles, and he looked at Wang Chenglin with even more admiration.

"Wang Chenglin, you brag about your marksmanship in front of me every day. Today, the prince will give you a chance to show your skills. If you back down and embarrass me, you will be in trouble when you go back." Zhou Daniu scolded with a smile.

"Don't worry, commander. I will definitely bring honor to the security regiment." Wang Chenglin said confidently.

"Well, you are a good kid. Don't keep the prince waiting for too long. Let's start." Zhou Daniu nodded.

"Prince, Commander, please watch out," Wang Chenglin picked up a brand new rifle and aimed at the vase 150 meters away. With a "bang" the gun went off and the vase broke. Wang Chenglin fired a shot and without even looking at the vase, he quickly reloaded the bullet and started the next shot.

Ten shots, ten hits, it took a total of thirty-five seconds.

"Prince, I am sorry for my humiliation." Wang Chenglin put down his gun and bowed.

"Not bad," Li Mingyuan nodded approvingly.

"Prince, I heard that you are an expert in spearmanship. Let me learn from you." Wang Chenglin took the initiative to demonstrate his spearmanship. Li Mingyuan did not feel dissatisfied, which increased the courage of the soldiers below. One of the soldiers shouted, and the others followed suit.

"Yes, Prince, everyone who has seen you shoot calls you the Little Li Guang who never misses a shot. Please show us your amazing shooting skills."

"You bastards are so lawless that you dare to let the prince perform for you. I think you are itching for a fight." Zhou Daniu scolded the soldiers who were making a fuss, but turned around and smiled. "Prince, I didn't participate in the battle of Duraya last time and didn't see your style. Show your skills today and let me see your amazing archery skills."

"Since everyone is happy, I won't hide it anymore." Li Mingyuan's best skill in his previous life was shooting. Now that the soldiers below were clamoring to see his marksmanship, Li Mingyuan simply decided to show off his skills.

"Wang Chenglin, lend me your gun." "It's my honor that the prince can use my gun." Wang Chenglin said with a smile.

Li Mingyuan took the gun and loaded the bullets skillfully. When he was looking for a target to shoot, a South American goshawk glided over his head.

Patibilca is located on the western side of the Andes Mountains, where goshawks can often be encountered.

"It's you," Li Mingyuan raised his gun, took aim and pulled the trigger. A gunshot rang out, the goshawk let out a cry of pain, and fell down with flapping its wings.

"The prince is a great archer." The soldiers next to him cheered.

The goshawk is far from the ground, moves agilely and is extremely vigilant. Wang Chenglin tried to shoot the goshawk down but failed in the past two days, but Li Mingyuan hit it with one shot. It is obvious who has better shooting skills.

"Haha, you guys continue the competition, I'll go look somewhere else."

Hearing that Li Mingyuan shot down the goshawk, the surrounding soldiers all gathered around to watch. If Li Mingyuan didn't leave, he would be surrounded by all the people, and it would be difficult for him to leave.

After finally squeezing through the crowd, Liu Pu held the injured goshawk and complained, "Sir, this big thing is too heavy. I can't hold it anymore."

"Here, Daniu, you hold it for Liu Pu."

"Okay," Zhou Daniu took the fiercely resisting goshawk from Liu Pu's hand and said with a smile, "This beast has a very fierce temper, just like me, old bull. Prince, why don't you give it to me as a reward."

"No, I value it and can't give it to you." Li Mingyuan fell in love with this big guy when he saw the goshawk.

The goshawk shot by Li Mingyuan is called the Andean condor or South American condor. With a body length of 130 centimeters, a weight of 10 kilograms, and a wingspan of more than 3 meters, it is the largest bird in the world.

The male has a tumor at the base of its beak and a red face. The local Andean people respect the Andean condor as the "soul of Andean civilization" and a symbol of majesty. The Andean condor has a long lifespan and is the national bird of Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador and other countries in later generations.

In his previous life, when Li Mingyuan was on a mission in the Mali desert, he bought an eagle from a local hunter. Li Mingyuan spent half a year to train the eagle according to the eagle training methods taught by the hunter.

The eagle helped Li Mingyuan a lot. If the eagle hadn't died, Li Mingyuan might have discovered the rebel ambush in advance and would not have died in the time travel.

Shaking his head and trying not to think about his past life, Li Mingyuan saw Zhou Daniu's disappointed look.

"Don't be discouraged, Daniel. Next time I have a chance, I will help you shoot down an Andean condor."

"Prince, please don't lie to me," Zhou Daniu's interest suddenly became high after hearing Li Mingyuan's words.

"I won't lie to you. Now go back and find a doctor to clean its wound. Otherwise, the wound will get infected and it won't be able to fly into the blue sky again."

"Yes, Prince, I'll find a doctor right away." Zhou Daniu saluted, found two soldiers not far away and left together.

"Prince, the Andean condor has a strong character and is difficult to train." Liu Pu said.

"Don't worry. I learned falcon training from an old man when I was a kid. Even though the Andean condor has a strong character, it is not impossible to tame it."

Li Mingyuan said confidently.

It is now 1868, and there are no various positioning systems of later generations, so using falcons to gather military intelligence is also a good method.
