Volume 4 The Boat Goes Against the Tide Chapter 192 The Second Battle of Song and Liao

The eighth day of November in the eighth year of the Great Song Dynasty Zhenghe, it is advisable to: travel, Nacai; Don't: upper beam.

Five days have passed in a flash, and today a new round of Song Liaojian Keju competition will be held in the school field five days ago. However, the sensation caused by this game is far from being compared with the previous time, although the imperial court still invited Guan Qi to explain in real time on the original high platform, although the major gambling houses have also opened a handicap, but the people have no enthusiasm, this is of course because of the great damage caused to everyone by the defeat five days ago.

Not only is the people's attitude towards this war a little cold, but even the imperial court is no longer as grand as before. Zhao Ji did not come over this time, and those high-ranking officials in the DPRK and China were also absent, so Tong Guan, who had responsibilities, and a group of military attaches who were already at odds with the Liao people still rushed over with great interest. In addition, the person with the highest status in today's Keju Tournament is the crown prince Zhao Huan, which can be regarded as the attitude he has revealed.

Of course, the impact of this game is small compared to the one five days ago, in fact, this Keju match still attracted the attention of many people, whether it was the people, the officials, they all hoped that the Great Song Dynasty could defeat the Liao people today, and this time there were tens of thousands of spectators in the school field, and the arena was full.

Before the time came, the two teams appeared separately, and then everyone turned their attention to the Da Song team, and many people's faces showed surprise: "What are these people wearing?" ”

It does make people feel a little surprised, because the Song players who came out this time are not wearing the red short jerseys before, but have been replaced by a strange costume - the bright red clothes are extremely close-fitting, and there are no bits and pieces, and their lower bodies are also wearing shorts of the same color but only up to the knees, which looks very different from the popular calf nose pants today, and some people have unknown things on their calves on their calves, and some people have some unknown patterns painted behind their backs. Anyway, no matter how you look at it, it makes people feel very weird.

In fact, the equipment worn by this team is the football sports suit that Sun Tu took out from the No. 2 warehouse, which is much lighter than the short clothes worn by players in this era. It is said that since opening this No. 2 warehouse, Sun Tu has never known what the things here can do, and it was not until this time that he took on the important task that he knew how good these sports equipment were.

Two days ago, when he took out these sportswear, which looked quite strange in the eyes of others, and asked the other team members to change into them, many people were still suspicious and resistant, but after really wearing this suit and conducting a drill, they completely liked this light clothing, and even military generals like Zhao Tianyao were full of praise for it. Especially the football boots of a certain brand provided to them by Sun Tu, which are so light that they can hardly feel the weight, can make people jump higher and run faster, and the protection of their feet, so that even picky people can only give a thumbs up and say a word of admiration.

So even if everyone felt the strange eyes from the spectators in the surrounding stands at this time, these players did not feel uncomfortable, but raised their heads one by one, looking quite confident.

After everyone gradually got used to their weird outfits, everyone discovered a new question: "Hey, why are there only eight people on the field?" ”

The Keju team led by Sun Tu only had eight people, including him, which was really much unexpected by the audience and opponents. Although there is generally no limit to the number of people in Keju competitions nowadays, since twelve people were used in the previous battle, it stands to reason that there should be twelve people today.

This made the Liao team quickly raise doubts: "What do you mean by this? Could it be that the dignified Song Dynasty couldn't even find twelve people who were good at jujuing? ”

When the official in charge of the Ministry of Rites in charge of the game threw the question to Sun Tu and them, as the captain, he smiled: "Of course not." But since we are the masters, and this game is our proposal to fight again, we should have expressed it. Therefore, there are only eight people on our side in today's game, and as for the Liao side, whether you are on the twelve or other people, they will all be respected. But the meaning of the words is to be outnumbered.

These words immediately aroused the dissatisfaction of the Liao people, and Xiao Shuhu, as the captain, immediately shouted: "Song people, don't be too self-righteous, since you are eight people, my Da Liao will never take advantage of you, and we will ...... too" Just as he was about to say that there were only eight players, he heard a voice from the stands: "Slow." It was Chen Xiangnan who suddenly spoke.

After interrupting Xiao Shuyu's words, he said with a smile: "Since you automatically reduce the number of people, then you have the consciousness of defeat." There is no difference between Keju and battlefield duels, there is always a number of troops, and we are still twelve! ”

As soon as this remark came out, not only Xiao was lost, but even many Song people showed a surprised reaction, is this still the consistent tough performance of the Liao State? They have always flaunted their own outstanding military strength, and they have the belief that the weak Song people above will win even if they are outnumbered, why are they shrinking their heads today? Is it because it is a Han who is in charge, so he is less courageous than ordinary Khitans?

They didn't know that it was a true Khitan who made this decision, Yelu Arrow. At this time, he was looking at Sun Tu and everyone in his team with a cautious gaze, and secretly calculated in his heart: "Since he dares to take on such a heavy responsibility, it means that there must be a miracle strategy, and I must not take it lightly." He wants to break our cooperation by reducing the number of people in our team, and I can't do what he wants! ”

As if he felt the gaze from Yelu Arrow, Sun Tu, who was standing on the sidelines, suddenly raised his eyes and looked back, glanced at Yelu Arrow from afar, and then hooked the corner of his mouth, revealing an inexplicable smile.

Now that the ambassadors of Liao have spoken, Xiao Lost can only accept even if he is dissatisfied, and immediately began to tell his teammates: "We have a great advantage in this battle, so we must win a big victory, so as not to fall into my great Liao's prestige!" As soon as the game starts, let them know how good we are and how strong we are and how strong we are than they know! ”

"Whew......" These Liao players shouted loudly, looking like the wolf totem they worshipped, and the spirit they showed at this time was even greater than five days ago.

After a hiccup, the hour finally came, and as a drum beat suddenly stopped, both teams were on the pitch, each standing near the halfway line waiting for kick-off.

As the gong sounded, Keju was thrown high, and almost all the Liao players put on a posture of imminent charge, and only waited for the moment the ball hit the ground to go up to attack. In the case that the number of people is already large, they are naturally unwilling to fall into passivity at the beginning as they did last time.

In the cheers and drumming of the people, the ball fell to the ground, and the twelve Liao people rushed over with agility and speed like twelve cheetahs catching prey.

But just as they rushed up, an unexpected scene happened - the eight members of the Song team did not rush up to grab the ball as usual, but retreated sharply at the same time, until they retreated near their own dragon gate, before they stopped and put on a defensive posture.

The Song people actually gave up the initiative from the beginning of the game and allowed the Liao people to attack their own Longmen!

When they understood this, the Liao players on the field showed excited expressions, they immediately shouted, like a tide to the Song people's dragon gate, only blink of an eye, the front three have rushed to the opponent, the rear ball control immediately raised their feet to send the ball to their feet, so that they can shoot immediately.

And the audience was in an uproar after seeing this strange scene: "What is this? Have they given up completely? Why don't you fight with the Liao people, even if you lose, you won't look at such a wretch......" There was that impatient, and he even scolded him, and even doubted Sun Tu's intentions.

There was a burst of jubilation on the side of the Liao mission, shouting to cheer for their own team, so that they could quickly score a goal to kick off this big victory. Only Yelu was in it, but his face was solemn, and he frowned: "What do they want to do?" Are you going to survive these three quarters by holding on? ”

The situation on the field is changing rapidly, under the different reactions of the spectators on both sides, the Liao players who just stopped the ball and wanted to shoot suddenly found that there was a simple-looking man in front of them, and the opponent actually blocked the angle of his feet to shoot earlier, and at the same time pulled his legs to destroy his control of the ball. The person who appeared to fill the position was Cui Liushang.

This made him irritated for a while, so he could only change his shot to a dial before the opponent touched the ball, and passed the ball to his teammate on the side. But a defender soon appeared in front of him, Shen Liang, who also looked calm, had no chance to shoot, and it was quite difficult to break through, he could only pass the ball again.

As a result, Keju was constantly passed around at the feet of the Liao, and as long as they found the angle of shooting, a defender would inevitably come out in front of them, so that they could not shoot at all, but could only continue to transmit, and finally the ball fell to Xiao Shu's feet.

After seeing this series of defenses in the rear, he finally understood the opponent's strategy a little, and it seemed that the Song people really planned to use the iron bucket-like defense to imprison their own offensive. Regardless of their skills, at least these people are really fast, and they can actually kill twelve people with eight people, and this is when three of them have not stepped forward to help.

Sun Tu forced a Liao man to retreat a little, and looked at the last Liao captain: "My defensive bus is a new type of kicking style that you have never seen, do you have a way to crack it?" ”
