Chapter 186
Taking advantage of the burst of inspiration now, Lin Yifan ordered someone to make some leather balls out of cowhide, and drew a few pictures of the game equipment and the layout of the venue, so that he could arrange it first.In the evening, I got together with Luo Yi and others to discuss the formulation of the competition rules.

The next morning, more than 1 people from the barracks gathered on the school field, looking at the large open space formed by straight lines drawn with lime powder, all talking in confusion.

At this time, Lin Yifan, Luo Yi and others brought a group of people to the scene.Immediately, the whole army was silent, and they all stood up and saluted, and shouted in unison: "Greetings, my lord, and the captain!"

"Soldiers, please excuse me." Lin Yifan walked forward with a ball in his hand, and shouted loudly: "Soldiers, I called you together today to give you some relaxation. This morning's training is suspended. !"

"What? No more training? I'm not dreaming, am I?"

"Great, I can finally take a rest, my lord, Wanfu Jinan!"

"Haha, I'll go back and sleep later."

The surrounding soldiers cheered immediately, and everyone was in high spirits like a festival.Seeing the gloomy faces of Luo Yi and other generals, I couldn't help muttering in my heart, I will make you happy in the morning, and I will train you until you can't stand up in the afternoon.

Lin Yifan stretched out his hand to press it down, and when everyone calmed down, he threw the ball in his hand and said with a smile, "We don't train in the morning because we are going to hold a game, show it to the soldiers, I hope you like it."

Competition, what competition?Everyone is dumbfounded.

"Is it wrestling or fighting? We usually have these competitions, nothing unusual?"

"If that's the case, it's better to go back to sleep directly, it's nothing to watch anyway."

"Yes, we all know who is strong and who is weak, there is nothing to see."

All the soldiers kept guessing, gradually losing interest.

There was a hint of a smile on the corner of Lin Yifan's mouth, next, let you want to stop.So, with a single move, a ten-man cavalry team filed in, walked to the field, and immediately separated into two teams.

Everyone couldn't help but looked curiously, and found that these cavalrymen were wearing a thick and soft cloth jacket, which made their bodies bulging.And they wear a turban on their heads, each of the two teams wears a turban of a different color, black and white.The war horse under him was also covered with a piece of fur to protect his body, and a piece of soft fur was also wrapped under the joints of his limbs.The cavalry held a long wooden pole in their hands, and a small round wooden stick, shaped like a wooden hammer, was nailed to the front end of the wooden pole.

Lin Yifan walked into the arena and loudly explained the rules and rewards and punishments of this competition to everyone.These rules are very different from modern polo games. Everything is based on actual combat, supplemented by the protection of cavalry and horses.The rules are not too complicated, except that horses and cavalry cannot be attacked, as long as the ball is hit into the nets at both ends of the field.The time limit is one stick of incense, and the player with the most entry points wins.Anyone who wins can get a reward of 100 taels of silver, and even the title of Champion Cavalry, and various welfare benefits can be improved.

As soon as these words came out, everyone outside the court was envious, and they wished that it was him who was on the court.Even the cavalry players in the field were short of breath, their eyes were full of fighting spirit, and they grinned at the cavalry of the opponent.

Now that everyone's desire has been mobilized, Lin Yifan will certainly not disappoint. He immediately announced that there will be a competition every ten days from now on. Anyone who is confident in his riding skills can sign up to participate.

Before the words were finished, all the soldiers cheered, especially the cavalry, all of them were gearing up, pulled over a few familiar comrades, and discussed forming a team to join the battle.

Afterwards, Lin Yifan personally lit a stick of incense, and the polo match finally started.

The polo in the middle of the field lay quietly on the ground, and the players in front of the nets on both sides immediately urged their horses forward and quickly rushed to the position of the polo.Tap!Boom boom boom!The hoofs of the horses were flying, the mud was splashing, and the ten riders looked directly at the ball, raised their poles, and prepared to snatch the polo first.

The audience outside the court had already been attracted by this scene, couldn't help holding their breath, and watched intently, which team got the ball first.

Getting closer, I saw that a rider on the black side was very close to the polo, and the horse pole in his hand had swung down, less than a foot away from the polo.All of a sudden, a horse pole came across with lightning speed, and with a light turn of the wooden hammer on the pole, it hooked the polo in an instant, and moved forward, desperately urging the horse to gallop forward.

Seeing that the polo he was about to get disappeared, the black rider suddenly became angry, roared, turned his horse's head and rushed towards the despicable villain, and at the same time shouted to his companions around him to stop him.

The sudden reversal of the situation made everyone sigh, and they all slapped their legs and yelled that it was a pity.But there were also some people who favored White Fang, and there was a burst of high applause immediately.As a result, the two groups of people with different positions immediately began to confront each other, applauding their own riders constantly, and belittling the opponent's riders at the same time.The sound of noise erupted, and the entire barracks was filled with excitement, and the fighting spirit was like a tide.

The game on the field has entered into a fever from the very beginning, the black rider who lost the initiative was very anxious, and rushed towards the player who grabbed the polo.

Seeing the black riders chasing and intercepting him in all directions, the white rider immediately felt something was wrong, looked up at the situation on the field, and shouted "Zuo Xiaochuan, catch the ball!"

Before the words fell, he immediately slapped the horse pole hard and hit the polo.The polo rolled over countless horse legs and fell under the horse of another white rider.The rider named Zuo Xiaochuan was overjoyed when he saw this, and immediately galloped forward with the ball with his horse pole.

Seeing that the opponent he was blocking had passed the ball, Black was so angry that he was about to vomit blood, and had to turn his horse's head around and chase another opponent's rider.

Bai Fang seems to have mastered the knack of the game. With the full cooperation of his teammates, the polo is always in his hands.At this time, the distance to the black net gate was getting closer and closer.

When the ball was passed to the first rider who grabbed the ball again, the rider quickly raised his head, glanced at the opponents who were rushing towards him aggressively, smiled coldly at the corner of his mouth, looked directly at the opponent's net goal, his eyes Slightly squinting, he raised the horse pole in his hand high, and then swung it down quickly. With a sound of "Bang!", the polo was hit by the wooden hammer and flew out, roaring and shooting towards the black net goal.

Under the gaze of everyone, the polo flew into the net quickly and steadily.

"Oh! We won! We won!" The audience supporting Bai Fang burst into cheers immediately, eager to announce the good news to the whole world.

"Hmph, what are you proud of? You only scored one goal now, and there is still plenty of time. It's still unknown who will win." The audience who supported Black's side suddenly became upset and taunted.

"Haha, no matter how long we fight, we will win, just watch." The white audience immediately countered.

At this time, the black rider in the arena looked depressed and returned to his original place unwillingly.The rider who almost grabbed the ball looked at the opponent's celebration with a flushed face, gritted his teeth, and called his comrades over, "We must admit that we lost the battle just now. Where did we lose? In fact, we lost Cooperate. We basically play our own way, without a strategy, so it will definitely not work if we continue like this, we must adopt some tactics.”

"Brother Hong Meng, what do you think we should do?" A rider was also unwilling and asked immediately.

"Come around, we can do this..." The rider named Hong Meng rolled his eyes and immediately beckoned to gather his comrades together.

Lin Yifan and Luo Yi stood in the crowd watching the game, and they were also excited and excited.

Luo Yi looked enviously at the riders on the field, and sighed sincerely: "This competition is really exciting. Now the whole army is full of enthusiasm, and there is no one who doesn't like this sport. Alas, if I were a year younger, You have to play a game.”

"Hehe, father-in-law, you are in your prime now, why do you say you are old? If you like, you can also compete." Lin Yifan said with a smile.

"It's still free. If I play, how dare those boys dare to compete? I won't be annoying, haha." Luo Yi said aggrieved, but there was a smile on his face.

"Father-in-law, the battle just now was really exciting. I don't know who the white rider is. I think he knows how to assess the situation in the game, command his teammates to cooperate with each other, and has a good view of the overall situation. Given time, he will be a good general."

"This son's name is Su Haorui. He is twenty years old. He was recruited from among the first batch of 30 people rescued. He once followed me in the Xiazhou Grassland to wipe out the Golden Wolf Tribe and made a lot of military exploits. Now he is He's the captain of a [-]-man cavalry team." Luo Yi's eyes were full of appreciation, and although he just introduced it briefly, there was a hint of recommendation to Lin Yifan in his words.

Lin Yifan nodded, "Su Haorui, well, he is a very nice person."

When Luo Yi heard this, the smile on his face deepened.At this time, the second game also started.
