Chapter Seven: The Camp of the Zhao Army (II)
After eating lunch and resting for a while, Du Yi ordered the soldiers to gather and start the afternoon training, while Gao Yuan was also on the side, watching how the ancient soldiers were trained.
Because the afternoon is for personal training, it is basically carried out in the open space of the camp, first of all, the basic elements of the body such as weight-bearing, running, strength, endurance and other basic elements of the body, and then it is to practice the skills of weapons such as swords, guns, halberds, arrows, crossbows, etc., and because of the need to save horsepower, the cavalry is trained on wooden horses and horses, so the shouts of soldiers and the sound of weapons are endless, and the practice is also in full swing for a while.
Although during lunch, Du Yi and the soldiers were talking and laughing just now, but after training, he changed his face, his face was always straight, and the language was also very strict, and he was unceremonious to some soldiers who were not in place and wanted to be lazy. But the beaten soldiers did not dare to complain, so they could only listen honestly.
And Gao Yuan has been watching the training of the soldiers of the Zhao army from the side. Although Gao Yuan is an agent, but also in the military camp has received several years of training, so he is no stranger to military training, compared with Zhao Jun and his own training in the past, although Zhao Jun's training methods are very primitive in the eyes of Gao Yuan, but Zhao Bing's training attitude, as well as mental outlook, are good, and the morale of the whole army is relatively high, so on the whole, Zhao Jun's soldiers are not bad.
Gao Yuan knew that in the fifty years or so at the end of the Warring States Period, Qin and Zhao were in the position of the first and second powers, and among the six countries, only the Zhao army could independently confront the Qin army, so the main wars during this period were basically between Qin and Zhao, and the two sides had five large-scale battles, and the Zhao State won three and lost two, and had a slight upper hand, and every time the six countries joined forces to resist Qin, the Zhao army served as the main force. Judging from Zhao Jun's current training situation and mental outlook, it does make sense.
It's just that although the military strength of Zhao is not much different from that of Qin, the comprehensive national strength of the two countries is too far apart, and Qin's defeat once or twice has nothing to do with the overall situation, but Zhao loses once and breaks his bones, and it can also be said that Zhao is completely consumed by Qin. And on the other hand, Zhao State lacks a grand strategic vision and the country's overall development plan, so Zhao's defeat is also doomed, even if there is Li Mu, it is impossible to save the fate of Zhao, at most the destruction of Zhao can only be delayed for a few more years.
The afternoon training lasted about two hours, and every soldier was sweating profusely and panting, but they were all very serious and no one was lazy. With Du Yi ordering the disbandment, the soldiers dispersed to rest and drink water. At this time, the estimated time of the plateau was about three or four o'clock in the afternoon, could it be that the day's training was over? But there are still two or three hours before dinner, so what's the point?
Du Yi took off his helmet, came to the front of the plateau, and said, "Mr. Gao, how do you see the training of our Zhao army?" ”
Gao Yuan nodded and said: "Very good, I see that the soldiers' mental outlook and morale are very good, and the training is also very serious, and everyone's individual combat ability is good." ”
Although there were some words that Du Yi didn't understand, he could also hear that Gao Yuan meant to praise Zhao Jun, and it was not an ordinary general talk, so he also smiled: "Mr. Gao has won the award." ”
Takahara asked again, "Is today's training over?" What to do next? ”
Du Yi nodded and said, "The training is over, and the next time is ......."
At this moment, I saw a war horse galloping over, raising its front legs high in the clearing, and rushing forward a few steps before stopping, and sitting on the horseback was Li Mu's adopted daughter Li Yinghong.
I saw that she was still not wearing a helmet, wearing a set of leather armor, wearing two swords around her waist, and still holding two hemispherical sideburns on her head, so she looked heroic, and said, "Du Yi, have you finished training today?" ”
Du Yi hurriedly greeted him and said, "Miss, it's over." ”
Li Yinghong said: "Okay, you hurry up and prepare, I'll go change clothes, wait for you in the big school field, you have to work hard today, we must defeat the former military camp." With that, he kicked the horse's belly lightly with his legs, and galloped away.
And Du Yi immediately said to the other soldiers: "Have you heard it, go and change your clothes, today we must earn a breath for the eldest lady and defeat the former military camp, you know." ”
When the other soldiers heard this, they immediately went into their tents to change their clothes, and Gao Yuan was also a little curious, what were they going to do? Fighting? However, in the barracks, fights between soldiers are common, and when Gao Yuan was in the barracks, there were no fewer fights, but looking at Li Yinghong and Du Yi's driving style, it was like a group fight, so he also asked: "Du Yi, what are you going to do later?"
Du Yi smiled and said, "Gao Shengxian, let's go with us later, we have to compete with the former military camp." ”
"Keju!" When Gao Yuan heard this, he immediately came to Xingyue, because he knew that Keju was actually the name of football in ancient China, and it became popular in the army in the Warring States and Qin and Han dynasties, and became a kind of sport integrating refining and entertainment in the army, and it was only spread to the people in the Tang and Song dynasties. Takahara used to be a fan and often played with the team in his spare time. Unexpectedly, in Li Mu's camp, he could actually see ancient football. Of course, he didn't miss it, nodded his head, and said, "Okay, I want to go and see it." ”
Du Yi said: "Mr. Gao, you wait a minute, I'll go change my clothes." As he spoke, he went into his tent.
At this moment several soldiers who had already changed their clothes came out of their tents, and they had already taken off their armor, changed into narrow-sleeved tights, and wore soft boots. He also carried out a large basket containing more than ten spherical objects, which was a big sigh.
A few of the soldiers took out the juju and kicked each other between two or three people, and it was a volley that did not touch the ground, so that it was a bit like kicking. Takahara was thinking, is this what Keju looks like? A few more soldiers put the ball on the ground and scrambled with each other, which was a bit like playing football. However, the skills of this group of soldiers are not very good, and the ball usually falls after four or five volleys. And when you struggle, you don't have much skill, and you mainly rely on your body to squeeze and bump. In Gao Yuan's eyes, it was like a group of middle school students kicking around, and as a result, the ball was kicked all over the ground.
And at this moment, among the several soldiers who were scrambling for Kemari, I don't know who kicked Keju in front of the plateau. Gao Yuan raised his leg to step on Keju, only then did he see that Keju is slightly smaller than a football, it is sewn with leather, and I don't know what is filled inside, but the elasticity is of course much worse than that of modern football, and it does not have much impact if you don't do basic movements.
A soldier ran over and tried to kick the Keju away from the foot of the plateau, but at this moment, the foot that Takahara stepped on on the Keju suddenly pulled back, and the soldier immediately kicked into the air. Plateau immediately turned around and made a beautiful Marseille maneuver, and before the soldier could understand what was going on, Plateau took the ball past him.
Several other soldiers were also dazzled, and none of them could see Gao Yuan's movements clearly, but they also knew that Gao Yuan seemed to want to kick Keju with them. Immediately, two more soldiers rushed to the plateau to grab the ball. Gao Yuan didn't care, took turns controlling the ball with both feet, swayed left and right, and used an "S" shaped line change to turn, and got rid of the two soldiers very easily.
Three or four other soldiers also rushed up to the plateau together. Although the football level of the plateau can only be regarded as amateur, his football skills have been developed for hundreds of years, the most reasonable and effective technology, in this era can be regarded as Maradona's level, so the legs left and right, moving and flashing in the crowd, interspersed back and forth, the result is still easy under the pressure of five or six soldiers.
At this time, the other soldiers also stopped, and watched intently as Gao Yuan was surrounded by five or six people, and he was still able to firmly control Keju under his feet, while the soldiers who surrounded him were busy turning around, and a few of them fell because they changed direction too quickly and couldn't stabilize their bodies, which also led to bursts of laughter.
After playing for a while, Takahara stopped his form and stepped on Keju, and the soldiers were already dazed by him. And Du Yi rushed to the front of Gao Yuan in a few steps, and said with surprise and joy: "Mr. Gao, I didn't expect you to kick Keju too, and you still play so well, let's go and play with us." ”
The soldiers also surrounded him and said, "Yes, Mr. Gao kicked so well, I didn't see Mr. Gao's movements clearly just now." ”
"How did Mr. Gao kick, Keju was like sticking to his feet."
"yes, I'm so dazzled that I can't see his movements clearly."
"If Mr. Gao joins us, we will definitely be able to win the former military camp this time."
At this time, Du Yi said: "Okay, okay, let's go to the big school field, now the eldest lady is still waiting for us there?" Mr. Gao, you can go with us. ”
Gao Yuan nodded and said with a smile: "Okay, I originally wanted to go." ”
So everyone gathered around the plateau and came to the big school field together.
Zhao Jun's colonel field is located at the main gate of the camp gate, covering a wide area, at least 200 meters in the vertical and horizontal directions, and a stand more than two meters high is also set up in the middle, setting up the banner of Zhao Jun and Li Mu. At this time, Li Yinghong, who had changed into a short suit, was on the edge of the stands, looking this way.
Seeing Du Yi and the others coming, Li Yinghong immediately jumped down from the high platform, greeted him, and said, "Why did you come, I've been waiting for a long time." ”
Du Yi hurriedly said: "Miss, there is good news, Mr. Gao can also kick Keju, and he plays quite well, Keju is like sticking to his feet, five or six of us can't rob him alone, if we let Mr. Gao play today, we will definitely be able to win the former military camp." ”
Li Yinghong looked at Gao Yuan and said with some doubts: "Do you know how to kick Keju?" ”
Gao Yuan nodded and said, "A little." ”
Li Yinghong was about to speak again, but someone laughed and said, "Yinghong, are you ready this time?" Our former barracks don't want to win too easily. ”
