Chapter 165: Sprint

This collision was completely unintentional, Shi Bud and Deng Ai were trapped inside, seeing that the game was about to end, they couldn't do it if they didn't work hard, Shi Bao was burly and sturdy, and it was a complete crushing impact on Chen Dubo.

And Deng Ai's side was also unambiguous, although Deng Ai's physique was not as strong as Shi Bao, but he had a flexible mind and a sharp mind, caught the other party's psychology of wanting to avoid, and with skillful breaking strength, he put Zhang Dubo together, the latter flashed, lost his balance on the horse's back, and fell down directly.

The cavalry of this era did not have a Takahashi saddle and bilateral stirrups that could be used, but there were unilateral stirrups, generally on the left side of the horse, hanging stirrups composed of two ropes and a wooden plank, but the purpose of this stirrup was only to facilitate getting on and off the horse, and after the rider rode on the horse, the unilateral stirrup lost its effect.

The rider controls the war horse, completely relying on the strength of his waist, abdomen and legs, which is undoubtedly very demanding for the rider, on the back of a high-speed galloping horse, the slightest negligence, it is possible to fall.

It stands to reason that Chen Dubo and Zhang Dubo are both long-trained riders, and they are also popular candidates for this competition for Sima of other departments, but because they are too close to Shi Bao Deng Ai, they obviously do not have enough psychological preparation in the face of Shi Bao and Deng Ai's desperate collision, so it is normal for them to lose their balance and fall off the horse after the impact.

If you fall off a high-speed galloping horse, even if you are lucky enough not to die, you will suffer a lot of injuries, and it is impossible to get up again to participate in the competition.

The sudden change of elbows and armpits made the atmosphere of the audience change suddenly, and Chen Dubo and Zhang Dubo, who were originally in the lead, were out of the game instantly, which made the situation on the field change greatly.

Xun Hong, the captain of the military academy who watched the game in the stands, changed his face greatly, this Chen Dubo and Zhang Dubo are both people from their rear army, and they originally hoped to advance to the final finals and add glory to the rear army, but they didn't expect that the first to be eliminated in the first round was actually the two of them, and Xun Hong's face was a little unsightly.

"General Cao, these two violated the rules and deliberately collided, causing Chen Dubo and Zhang Dubo to fall off their horses, please General Cao disqualify the two." Xun Hong suggested to Cao Yan.

Before Cao Yan could speak, Wen Qin first said: "Chen and Zhang are the first to block the front, and when they collide, they fall off the horse only after the miscontrol, if they say that they violate the rules, the two of them will bear the brunt, and this time they will fall off the horse, but their skills are not as good as others, and General Cao doesn't have to pay attention to them." ”

Cao Yan bowed slightly, noncommittal, Xun Hong was also helpless, so he had to silently accept the defeat of his subordinates.

In the first round of horse racing, it was twenty into sixteen, and there were only four elimination places, and now after Chen Dubo and Zhang Dubo were eliminated, there are only two places left for the outings.

The other two riders with the lead in the ring saw that Chen Dubo and Zhang Dubo had fallen off their horses, and they were also scared, slowed down their horses, and separated themselves from Shibao Deng Ai for some distance.

Anyway, they are already ahead, and it is a certainty to enter the next round, why bother to desperately block Shibud Deng Ai like Chen Dubo and Zhang Dubo, in case one is careful, it will really be a waste of effort.

After the two riders retreated, they gave Shi Bao and Deng Ai a lot of room to move, and they seized the last chance to sprint and launched an attack on the group of men and horses in front.

Entering the final lap, the riders of the Xiao Riding Camp no longer had any reservations, and all of them did their best to launch the final sprint towards the finish line.

Shi Bao and Deng Ai still followed the original plan, one on the outside line and the other on the inside, and launched a corner overtake.

Sixteen horses (except for Chen Dubo and Zhang Dubo, the other two ring riders had already completed the competition and did not need to make the final sprint) galloped like lightning, their hooves rumbling, and galloping towards the final finish.

The onlookers at the scene were all staring intently, all paying attention to the final battle.

Entering the final corner, Shi Bao and Deng Ai's horse speed increased significantly, and they were now only a short distance away from the riders in front of them.

After entering the corner, the rider of the inner road must take advantage, Deng Ai seized the opportunity and forcibly cut into the inner road, perhaps affected by the fall of Chen Dubo and Zhang Dubo, the rider in front was obviously afraid of colliding, just after Deng Ai unreasonably cut inward, the rider did not stick to his position anymore, but was forced to give way to the inside.

As a result, this gave him the loss of the leading position, and at the moment of rushing out of the corner, Deng Ai's horse's head had obviously pressed him by half.

At this time, the rider seemed to be a little panicked, and wanted to speed up to grab back the lost position, but at this juncture of the final sprint, even if it was a slight gap, it was difficult to catch up, Deng Ai grabbed the front, naturally it was impossible to give the opponent a chance to overtake, he sprinted hard, little by little the gap was widened.

Compared with Deng Ai's easy transcendence of the inner line, the stone bud stands out from the outside line, so more efforts must be made.

Fortunately, Shi Bud has a strong physique, although he has run wildly for nearly ten laps, but it seems that his physical strength is still full, at this time Shi Bud shouted, and broke out in an all-round way, galloping on horseback, faster than lightning.

The outer ring is much larger than the inner ring, and the stone bud is ready to overtake the outer ring, so it has to be faster than the other riders.

He did it, making a perfect arc on the outside of the corner and heading into the straight, and at this point, he was only half a head behind the rider on the left in front of him.

The rider was clearly unwilling to be overtaken at the last minute, and he desperately whipped the horse's hips, gritted his teeth and fought with the stone buds.

But Shi Bao's stamina is incomparable, he is surpassing little by little, and he is getting closer and closer to the rider, almost to the point of being neck-and-neck.

At this moment, the rider was really desperate, desperate and about to collapse, he held on for more than nine laps, and was actually killed by others at the last moment, and he was depressed that he would not be reduced for the year.

The finish line was in sight, but the rider seemed scared, and despite all his might, he couldn't stop the momentum of Shibao, and he wished that the distance would be over soon.

But in the end, he was still disappointed, and Shi Bud chased after him little by little, and at the last moment when he crossed the finish line, Shi Bud obviously pressed his opponent's half a horse's head.

And Deng Ai, who was on the inside, started a chase battle with his opponent at the last moment, stubbornly defending his position, and finally had the last laugh.
