Chapter 8: Keju (I)
I saw that on the other side of the stands, there was also a large group of people, all of whom were in one-color tight short clothes, led by a person in armor, about fifty years old, looking at Li Yinghong with a smile.
Li Yinghong said: "General Yuan, just look at it, we will definitely be able to win your former military camp today." ”
General Yuan laughed and said, "Really? I'm going to have to take a good look. With that, he took a few guards and went up to the stands.
And the soldiers brought by General Yuan all stayed under the stage, and a big man in the middle came up a few steps, and said with a smile: "Miss, Du Yi, do you want our former military camp to let you have one flag first, even if you have two flags." After saying that, the soldiers of the former barracks behind him also burst into laughter.
Du Yi was not to be outdone, and said: "Wang Hu, you don't come to be crazy, this time we will definitely win your former military camp." ”
Wang Hu laughed and said, "Really? Then I'll see you on the field later. ”
At this time, Li Yinghong looked at the plateau and said, "Are you okay?" We've lost three times in a row to the former barracks, and we can't afford to lose this one. ”
In fact, at this time, Gao Yuan also had a little feeling of returning to the barracks, like this, the situation of unpleasant and competitive competition between various troops was the same in that era, so he thought about it for a while and said: "Although I can kick a little, I am not very clear about the rules of Keju, so let's take a look outside the field first!" I'll play again if you need to. ”
Li Yinghong thought about it for a while, and felt that Gao Yuan made sense, Bi Jing didn't see Gao Yuan play football just now, and she didn't have much confidence in him, if she could win after a while, she didn't need Gao Yuan to play, and if she didn't lose to her opponent, it would not be too late to let Gao Yuan play.
At this moment, I saw Li Mu with Zhao Xuan and a team of guards, and also came to the stands, Gao Yuan, Du Yi and others hurriedly saluted: "General." And Li Yinghong said: "Father." In fact, now Li Muji has been awarded the title of Wu Anjun, and he can be called "Junshang", but in the barracks, the soldiers still call him "the great general".
Li Mu smiled: "Yinghong, are you going to play again?" ”
Li Yinghong said: "Yes, father, you just watch from the stage, we will definitely win the former military camp this time." ”
Li Mu smiled and said, "Okay, I want to take a good look." He turned his head and said to Gao Yuan: "Gao Yuan, do you also come to see them kicking the juju?" Come with me on stage and see it. ”
Gao Yuan said: "Thank you for the kindness of the general, I'll watch it with them, maybe I'll play after a while." ”
Li Mu was also stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "Oh, I didn't expect you to like to kick the juju too, okay, I'll really want to take a look when I get there later." After finishing speaking, he took Zhao Xuan and the guards and stepped onto the stands, and the people in the stands also saluted together and said, "General." ”
Li Mu waved his hand and said, "Everyone sit down." You're welcome. ”
At this time, the armies of various countries are basically divided into the front and rear left and right five armies, and the main general will sometimes serve as the chief general of the Chinese army, and now in the Zhao army, Li Mu will also serve as the chief general of the Chinese army, Yuan Xuan, the former army commander, Chen Zhi, the main general of the rear army, Yao Shaosi, the chief general of the left army, and Ji Sunfeng, the chief general of the right army. At this time, they were all in the stands.
After everyone sat down, Yuan Xuancai said, "General, is that young man just now the heavenly general you brought back?" ”
Li Mu nodded and said, "It's him." ”
Yuan Xuan said: "It's an ordinary person, I can't see anything strange about him." ”
Li Mu smiled: "People can't look good." ”
At this time, the Keju game under the stage has begun, and the ground of Keju in this era is about the size of a modern football field, with two wooden sticks erected at each end, about five meters high and ten meters wide, about the goal, but there are no beams, and between the two wooden poles, there are three small flags. However, the number of people who appeared was sixteen on one side. And at this time, the sidelines were already surrounded by soldiers, and there were thousands of them.
Li Yinghong and Du Yi walked into the field with the participating soldiers, while Gao Yuan and other soldiers watched the game on the sidelines next to the stands, and on the other side, Wang Hu also led people to kick the field, and the two sides spread out on the field. The personnel of both sides came and went, Keju flew around in the field, and the soldiers outside the field cheered for both sides, and the atmosphere was also very warm.
Gao Yuan watched the game on the sidelines, and asked the soldiers around him, it turned out that the Keju competition was held in the barracks, which was a common practice in all countries, because there were not many entertainment activities in this era, and there were even fewer in the barracks, and the soldiers could not train all day long, if it was a war with the enemy, it would be better, but I was afraid of this confrontation situation, most of the soldiers were overly energetic, had nowhere to vent, and were prone to impatience, boredom, fatigue, and anxiety.
Therefore, in addition to training, organizing some competitions can not only allow soldiers to train their bodies and vent their excess energy, but also help cultivate soldiers' sense of competition and competitiveness, and also strengthen the cohesion among soldiers. Keju is the most ideal activity, the amount of exercise is enough, and it is intense enough, but it is not as direct as a martial arts fight, and it does not hurt the peace.
So the Zhao army camp will hold a Keju competition every three or five days, sent by each battalion to participate, and the competition between the former military camp and the Chinese military camp before the competition is the most intense, but there are two soldiers in the former military camp have a few mistakes on the Keju, that is, Wang Hu and his younger brother Wang Bao, who just provoked Du Yi, this month, the two sides have competed three times in a row, and each time the Chinese military camp lost.
Although Li Yinghong is a girl, she is active by nature, she likes to ride horses and practice martial arts since she was a child, and she has learned a good martial arts, although she is only sixteen years old, she can be regarded as a good swordsman, so this time, Li Mu also took her with her, so let her experience the real battlefield. In the barracks, Li Yinghong also likes to kick the juju, and he will appear in person every time. However, after losing three games in a row, the whole Chinese military camp held its breath, and Li Yinghong also personally went to each battalion to pick people, determined to fight this one today.
And in this era, Keju has no rules at all, that is, kick with your feet, you are not allowed to use your hands, and the rest of the rules can be negotiated temporarily, and the current rules are to kick the ball between two wooden poles to score a point, you can pull down one flag of the opponent, and you can pull out three flags in a row to win. If it is too late and no one side can pull three flags in a row, the side with the most flags wins.
At this time, the two sides competed fiercely on the field, and the cheers of the soldiers outside the field were also one after another, and it was very lively. However, in Gao Yuan's view, the two sides are simply kicking randomly, there is basically no formation tactics at all, most people grab the ball and kick forward, so most of the ball is flying in the air, and a few people are waiting in front, grabbing the ball and kicking between the two wooden poles.
However, the former military camp is indeed a step ahead, because it is Wang Hu and Wang Bao brothers, the two are prominent, the two are waiting for the ball to kick from behind in the front court, and then they fight to grab, and after grabbing the ball, they will adjust at most, and immediately kick between the two wooden poles, which is quite a bit of a long cross in the hanging. And the ball passed from the backcourt can be grabbed by their brother seven or eight times out of ten, which is not to say that the skills of the two of them are better than others, but because these two brothers are tall and big, and they are also strong and do not lose, so they have a big advantage in scrambling, pushing and other aspects.
Soon after the start of the game, Wang Hu first grabbed the ball in the front court, squeezed away the opponent who defended himself, and scored a goal, which was the first to pull down a flag for the former military camp, and at the same time, the two brothers grabbed the ball in the front court many times, causing danger. Later, although the Chinese military camp tried its best to counterattack, because of the lack of big men like Wang Hu and Wang Bao brothers in the front, it was always difficult to form enough threats to the other party.
Because of her petite stature, Li Yinghong drilled around in the crowd and ran all over the court, so she seemed very flexible, but she couldn't hold the ball in front, no matter how flexible she was, it was useless.
As a result, it took about 20 minutes, and this time it was Wang Bao who used his weight advantage in the front court to knock away Du Yi who was defending him, grabbed the ball, scored another goal for the former military camp, and pulled down another flag. As a result, there was only one flag left in the Chinese military camp. The soldiers in the middle military camp were depressed, and the former military camp was elated, and there was a big victory in hand, Du Yi hurriedly found Li Yinghong and said, "Miss, let Mr. Gao play, otherwise we won't have time." ”
Li Yinghong had no other way now but to treat the dead horse as a live horse doctor, nodded and immediately asked for a replacement. At this time, Gao Yuan basically had a bottom in his heart, so he also walked into the field with confidence.
Now many soldiers of the Zhao army know the origin of the plateau, so seeing him appear on the stage also caused a burst of discussion, Du Yi said: "Mr. Gao, it's up to you." ”
Gao Yuan nodded and said, "I'll do my best." ”
There was no half-time kick-off in the Keju game, so Takahara took Keju directly from the end line of the barracks, controlled the ball himself, and trotted forward.
At this time, the Wang, Tiger and Wang Leopard brothers were waiting in the front court, and saw Gao Yuan controlling the ball and moving forward slowly, and did not kick forward with his big feet like others, and immediately approached to grab the ball. Wang Leopard caught up first, stretched out his foot to poke the ball.
Gao Yuan gently pulled the ball, and a line change easily crossed Wang Leopard, and then, Wang Hu also rushed over, Gao Yuan stabbed his foot, and the ball drilled between Wang Hu's feet, and Gao Yuan also dodged past Wang Hu's side.
This series of movements is very natural and smooth, because it is a drill against Wang Hu, not only the technique is ingenious, but also somewhat teasing the opponent, and it is a technical action that other soldiers have never seen before, so it also caused a cheer from the soldiers who watched.
And after passing the Wang Tiger and Wang Leopard brothers, the plateau is almost close to the midfield, so it also began to accelerate, the legs are left and right, and five or six people are bypassed in a row at once, in fact, the plateau's ball skills are also mostly flowery, but no one in this era has ever seen such a way of kicking, and was caught off guard by the plateau, and many people did not see the plateau's movements clearly, only felt that the flowers in front of them found themselves left behind by the plateau.
Almost in the blink of an eye, Gao Yuan had broken through most of the defense line of the former military camp, and only the last two people remained, and they rushed towards the plateau at the same time. But Takahara pulled the ball out and rolled past the left side of the two, while he passed between the two, made an arc, and passed with a beautiful human ball, and bypassed the opponent's last line of defense.
At this point, there was no opponent in front of Plateau, and Plateau took two more steps forward and easily sent the ball between the two posts.
