"Me? Guarding the gate." Li Wangyou replied as a matter of course: "Can't you expect me to go to the front line?"
Everyone was taken aback when they heard the words, and then they all burst into laughter.
Out of their absolute trust in Li Wangyou, the dandies did not raise objections, but instead listened to Li Wangyou's explanation with great interest.
Li Wangyou picked up the pen again, around each position, how to move to attack, widen the width of the field, use the ball to dispatch players, and explained to the dudes for a long time.
The dandies are quite smart, and after Li Wangyou explained, they all roughly understood their responsibilities and running routes on the court.
"Haha, Ziyou, your formation is interesting, let's try it out?" Cheng Chumo couldn't wait.
Li Wangyou nodded, and was about to get on his horse when he suddenly remembered something and called a soldier of the imperial army to give him a helmet.
Everyone was puzzled, and Li Wangyou didn't bother to explain.Nima, these savages, don't wear any protective gear for such a dangerous sport, it's really too much.
I, who is skinny and tender, don't dare to imitate them.
If it weren't for Tang Jun's armor being too heavy, Li Wangyou would have wanted to go into battle fully armed and play polo.
After putting on the helmet and tightening the straps, Li Wangyou carefully climbed onto the horse, ready to go on stage.
The training match resumed, and the batters of Zuo Jinwuwei all rode onto the court casually.In the eyes of this group of veterans, playing polo with Li Wangyou and others is just a game with them.
Although the dudes have good skills, they are no match for this group of veterans in the army.With the cooperation of the three beaters, it was very difficult for the dandies to compete.
This is the cooperation of the cavalry in the army, and it is the same when the cavalry is charging on the battlefield.The seemingly overwhelming formation of cavalry is actually three cavalry cooperating with each other.
One person is responsible for attacking, and the other two are responsible for protecting the left and right wings. This is similar to the three-three infantry tactics invented by the People's Liberation Army in later generations.
Three people form a combat team and use a triangle to attack or assist in defense.This kind of tactics has both offense and defense, and has a clear division of labor, which can maximize the combat effectiveness of cavalry.
But this kind of tactic is extremely brave when used on the battlefield, but it may not be suitable for use in the arena.
Players who are too concentrated on the field leave too much space for the opponent to use.
Originally, when Datang played polo, everyone was like this, so it didn't matter. As the saying goes, chickens peck at each other, that's how it is.
But Li Wangyou shamelessly copied the football tactics of later generations, and the original polo tactics immediately became outdated.
When the dudes rode their horses on the stage, they tried to stand as Li Wangyou explained, which also caused a burst of laughter from the guards on the sidelines.
Although it was just training with the dandies, there were still many guards from the Left Jinwu Guard on the sidelines of the polo field to watch, including many generals in the army, who also ran to the sidelines to join in the fun.
Seeing the sparse positions of the dudes riding horses, everyone couldn't help laughing.
"What are you guys playing? Why don't you assemble a battle formation? If you fight alone like this, you won't be tortured to death?"
"Hey, I'm afraid the young masters are playing some tricks again. Let's see, this formation will definitely not be able to stop the attack."
"Young masters, are you ready to surrender?"
"I bet that the young master and the others will lose at least five balls if they play in this formation. Anyone bet against me?"
"Go away, who is so crazy to bet on this with you."
On the sidelines, Cheng Yaojin was also surrounded by a group of generals from the Zuo Jinwu Guard, watching the dandy training.Seeing such a situation on the field, a group of generals couldn't help talking.
"General, young master, what kind of game are they playing? Such nonsense, they can't win the batting team of the Changping County government."
"I'm afraid it was the idea of the Huxian man? Just now, I saw him calling the young master and the others over, and that's how he turned into this."
"It's the first time I've seen someone stand up like this, haha, it's really eye-opening, this Huxian man really has an idea."
Cheng Yaojin waved the whip in his hand: "Zhi Niang, these bastards, today I want to make me lose face in front of the soldiers, I will beat them to death!"
Before Cheng Yaojin was furious, the referee blew his whistle, and the match began...
338 Can you still fight like this?
It was Dandan's side who kicked off first, and Niu Zhengping casually pushed the polo to Cheng Chumo, and the three batters from the left Jinwu guard pinched the horse's belly with their legs, and charged over the horse.
But seeing that Cheng Chu was not in a hurry, he used his stick in his hand to catch the ball behind him before the three people surrounded him.
The polo field is 700 steps long, and the distance between half courts is [-] steps, which is more than [-] meters.Their other horses are all army horses, and they can reach a speed of about fifty kilometers per hour.
Even so, it takes nearly a minute for the horses to cross the half court at full speed.
In the movie "Fame with a Ball", there is a classic line called "Football will always run faster than you, so we need to pass the ball."
This sentence is more appropriate to put it on the polo field.
Although the running speed of horses far exceeds the running speed of humans, the polo field is wider, and the red polo is flying much faster than footballs under the whipping of the stick.
Although the dandies are not skilled in their positions on the court, and their riding positions are immature, they make perfect use of the width and length of the polo.
As soon as the game started, the laughter of the soldiers on the sidelines became smaller and smaller, replaced by various gasping sounds.
The generals beside Cheng Yaojin were also shocked by the scene on the court.
Among their left Jinwu Guards, the top ten batters with the best skills couldn't even touch the skin of a polo on the court.
The batters in a group of three were busy chasing the polo on the court in vain.
On the other hand, the playboys played very relaxed and freehand.
Whenever they are about to be overtaken or blocked by their opponents, they can always transfer the ball away, as easy as walking in the courtyard.
In the opening game, the dandies attacked for the first time, and the polo was sent to Niu Zhengping's horse after being passed three times and twice. At this time, there was only the goal and a batter in front of him.
The batter was in a hurry, so he rode his horse and rushed towards Niu Zhengping, desperately trying to stop him from shooting.
Seeing that Niu Zhengping raised his club high, he didn't use any force, but rushed to push the polo before the striker from the imperial army arrived.
The guard batter turned his head in amazement, and looked in the direction the polo was heading, only to see Cheng Chumo rushing towards the direction the polo was rolling. Obstacle, rolled into the goal of the guard's handle.
The referee on the sidelines immediately blew the copper whistle, accompanied by the sound of drums.
A soldier of the imperial army ran behind the goal holding a banner and planted it on the ground, which meant that the dudes got a point.
Li Wangyou stayed alone in front of his own goal, looking ahead.
Datang's polo field was really too big, and it was quite difficult for him to see the opponent's goal [-] kilometers away.
But when the whistle sounded and the drums sounded, the banner fluttering in the wind made him immediately understand that the dudes broke the opponent's goal.
He couldn't help clenching his fist, and waved it fiercely in the air a few times, it succeeded!It is really useful to transfer the football tactics to play polo!
Cheng Yaojin was so confused by this scene that he couldn't keep his mouth shut for a long time, and then he muttered to himself: "Zhi Niang, how can you beat him like this?"
