Chapter Eighty-Three: Polo

The summer is scorching, and the Noda rice is half scorched.

The farmer's heart is like soup boiling, and the prince and grandson shake the fan.

Wan Yankang, the emperor's grandson, gently shook a feather fan, and sat on the stands of the youth training base with Xu Daosheng and other civil and military instructors, watching the two teams of people in the audience hold clubs and fight against each other.

The people and horses on the field were galloping, sweat drops were like rain, and the shouts off the field shook the sky, and the applause was like thunder.

After Yankang expanded the youth training base, he built a special stadium. After the unexpected success of the football association, he came up with a way to toss polo.

The rules of this polo are mostly similar to those of football, except that the players are on their horses and hit the ball with a club.

During the game, the horses are galloping, the wind is galloping, and the players are swinging, which is more exciting than football.

After Yan Kang tried polo, he found a huge problem, polo is difficult to promote, and can only become a niche sport.

What do you say?

Polo, polo, to play this, you must first have a horse, and this alone has made most of the common people withdraw from the ranks of polo players.

Besides, this thing can't be played by riding a horse, it needs to be a skilled equestrian to be competent. The first batch of students in the youth training base have been practicing riding for four or five years, and they can be called skilled in arching horses.

But when it comes to practicing polo, there is no one who misses the horse.

Even if it was Wan Yankang himself, when he started playing polo, he missed it in the early days.

A month before Wanyankang introduced polo, there were many injured soldiers in the academy, and there were not a few people with broken arms and lame legs.

Wanyan Hongyi proposed to abolish the polo, and the other instructors nodded again and again.

If the little prince continues to toss like this, there will still be a few intact students left in this batch of students!

Wan Yankang summoned all the instructors and went to the infirmary together.

The training intensity of the youth training base is great on weekdays, and some injuries and illnesses of the students are inevitable.

The infirmary, which is empty on weekdays, is full of injuries at this time, and it has to be extra bed!

Wan Yankang entered first, checked everyone's injuries one by one, and then called for someone to blow the horn of emergency assembly.

At the end of the three-way horn, more than 100 students were standing neatly outside the infirmary. Originally, when the wounded in the room heard the sound of the horn, they all subconsciously wanted to get up and gather, but Wan Yankang quickly stopped them.

Wan Yankang walked to the front of the queue, followed by a group of instructors at the base. He glanced at the crowd and asked lightly, "Instructor Wanyan said that he suggested that I withdraw the polo project, what do you think?" Feel free to put forward any ideas. ”

The team began to discuss, Wan Yan Kang's ears were clear, and he could still understand in the noise, the vast majority of the students agreed to withdraw the polo project, and some teenagers couldn't help but cheer quietly.

There was also a whisper of discussion in the infirmary, and almost everyone thought that the removal of polo, a dangerous sport, was a very happy move.

After listening to it for a while, Yan Kang said loudly: "Do you feel that you should not withdraw this project?" ”

There were a few sparse echoes in the team, and the people who spoke were glared at by the surrounding partners, and they all shut up.

Wan Yankang's face was gloomy, and he was about to speak.

A shout came from the infirmary: "Polo cannot be removed!" ”

I saw a strong man limping out of the infirmary with a cane, and when he reached Wan Yankang's side, he knelt down on one knee with a cane and said: "Young marshal, Zhang Qide reported to you and begged you not to remove the polo." ”

Wan Yankang hurriedly helped Zhang Qide up, let him stand aside, and then asked: "Who else doesn't want to remove the polo and stand next to Zhang Qide." ”

Some students walked out of the team and came to Zhang Qide's side, and after finishing Yan Kang, he connected to Zhang Qide, a total of twelve people.

Wan Yankang shouted: "Everyone, regroup!" Zhang Qide's side is in a separate team! ”

The two teams, large and small, moved one after another, and in a few breaths, they re-established their formations.

Wan Yankang saw that the team was arrayed quickly, and his face was slightly clear.

Wan Yankang named someone from Zhang Qide's team: "Qian Dafa, come out, tell me what you think, why don't you want to remove the polo." ”

Qian Dafa walked out of the queue and said loudly: "Back to the young marshal, I think polo is more exciting and fun than football!" ”

As soon as Qian Dafa said this, Wan Yankang clearly saw that a few people in the single column of the team nodded slightly, and he scolded in his heart: mallet, so he called Qian Dafa to return to the team.

Wan Yankang pointed out another person from the queue to inquire.

This person's name is Gao Youli, and when Qian Dafa was speaking just now, Wan Yankang observed that Gao Youli did not follow and nodded, obviously thinking otherwise.

Gao Youli saluted, and then said: "Back to the young marshal, I think it's very good to play polo, and I progress faster than we usually practice riding." ”

Wan Yankang nodded, let him return to the team, and then said, "Zhang Qide, tell me what you think." ”

Zhang Qide took two steps forward on crutches and saluted Wan Yankang, then turned to the student team and said: "My old Zhang can live to this day, all thanks to the great kindness of the young marshal, and all the brothers are the same as me, they were all brought back by the young marshal from the hands of Lord Yama. We ate and drank well at the base, and we were raised for seven or eight years, for what? It is to be able to train into a divine soldier, a divine soldier who can fight invincible opponents all over the world. ”

"We have been trained by several instructors for all these years, and we will never lose in terms of martial arts and queues. But in this world, I have never heard of it, and that elite soldier has never seen a bloody battle! I, Lao Zhang, have been looking forward to when the young marshal will let me go out to fight, sharpen my knives, and see blood! But the young marshal didn't speak for a day, and my old Zhang could only nest in this base. Brother Dafa just said, this polo is enjoyable and exciting, and Brother Gao also said that big polo can practice riding skills. My old Zhang feels that when polo is played seriously, it is like fighting a war. Let's play polo once, it's like fighting a fight. In war, there is no one who does not die and does not get hurt. If I had fallen off my horse once on the battlefield, I would probably have died. My Lao Zhang played polo five times and fell three times before he became lame. It's a big deal! This polo, how can it be withdrawn! ”

In the end, Zhang Qide roared.

Wan Yankang's eyes lit up, and he immediately took the lead in applauding, this Zhang Qide, who was quite chaotic when the captain was reformed, once made Wan Yankang quite unhappy, as soon as these words came out, Wan Yankang suddenly realized that this person's stunt is a talent.

These words completely said what Yan Kang wanted to say, and he also said what he was not good to say. And looking at this black bear-like physique, it must be a fierce general, Wan Yankang nodded secretly in his heart, this son should be focused on training in the future!

After listening to this, the instructors also applauded. Obviously, Zhang Qide's remarks have touched the hearts of the instructors.

The students also applauded, and the audience immediately applauded.

After Yan Kang, the applause was a little weaker, and he stretched out his hand to press the front, signaling everyone to stop the applause.

After the students saw Yan Kang's warrant, the applause immediately stopped, and the audience became silent.

Wan Yankang walked up to Zhang Qide and beat his chest: "Qide is good." ”

Zhang Qide straightened up and said respectfully: "Young Marshal Xie!" ”

Wan Yankang faced all the students and shouted: "The name of our base has now been changed to Tiger Wing Football Youth Training Base, but everyone present must not forget what their mission is!" You all want to step out of this gate, go to the battlefield to fight, defend your family and country, and make meritorious contributions! Zhang Qide said well, there are no immortals in war! But you are my subordinates and my brothers. I only hope that no matter how many wars I experience in the future, I will die as an enemy! ”

Looking at the familiar and energetic faces in front of him, Wan Yankang shouted from the heart: "From today onwards, remember one sentence for me, sweat more in peacetime, and bleed less in wartime!" Remember! ”

"Sweat more in peacetime, bleed less in wartime!"

"Sweat more in peacetime, bleed less in wartime!"

"Sweat more in peacetime, bleed less in wartime!"

Wan Yankang showed a satisfied smile and said: "This polo must be played, and it must be played hard!" Don't be afraid of falling off a horse and being injured, we have an infirmary, and there are many plasters for bone-setting. But every time you play polo, you have to improve. There must be progress in riding, progress in swinging, and progress in falling! As long as you are riding on horseback, whether you are playing ball or fighting, there will always be a time when you fall off your horse. Let's take advantage of the fact that we are not on the battlefield now, and learn how to fall off the horse without being injured, and not seriously injured, do you understand? ”

"Got it!" The students responded with a shocking price.

After Yan Kang's lecture, the whole base realized the importance of polo and invested boundless enthusiasm in it.

Wanyan Kang ordered Zhang Qide to select a few lightly injured people to observe and record at the polo field, summarize lessons and lessons, and quickly promote them. With the encouragement of Wan Yankang, many students also shared their experiences and lessons with each other and summarized their experiences.

Teenagers are in the high-speed stage of learning and growth, and they are like sponges, absorbing new knowledge and experience. A few months later, the riding skills of all the first-phase students in the base had grown to the point that Wanyan Hongyi and the others were secretly amazed.

Every time the instructors are free, they all practice together, and they are also instructors, so they can't surpass this group of rabbits!
