Chapter 1112: The Scene of the Car Accident and the Fate of the Knight
After the start of the group competition, as is customary, the first game is still the foot battle. Because, it is easy to distinguish the winner from the loser in the foot battle, and the probability of a big problem is small.
If you put the horse battle in front, once you fall off the horse, you may fall halfway, and you will not be able to fight the foot battle. So, it's better to put foot combat in front.
There are 4 participating knights in each team, and each team needs to fight on foot with 3 teammates. However, the foot battle was not very difficult, and despite the fact that there were more than 300 groups, the foot battle was completed in one day. After all, everyone only needs to play three games.
However, despite the relative safety of the foot combat, dozens of people were injured in the foot combat. Although it is not serious, it is most likely to be an injury such as a broken bone. Therefore, in the horse battle that started the next day, these people could not participate, and they were naturally eliminated.
Fortunately, the damage of foot combat was not great, and Marin also provided a group of Mongolian doctors with first-class orthopedic skills, and also provided various medicines for free. So, their recovery is not a problem. Even if they didn't catch anything, at least they could leave healthy after the Knights' Tournament.
……
But after the horse war began, it was very different......
According to the rules of the competition, after the horse battle begins, the contestants will wear the standard plate armor provided by the Beihai Kingdom, ride on the ordinary war horses provided by the Beihai Kingdom, hold a small wooden shield in their left hand and a hollow riding spear in their right hand, and stab each other.
Because there was an acceleration process before, the speed of both knights was very high when they touched each other. The process of colliding with each other is no less than the scene of a car accident......
According to the custom of knightly jousting in this era, a seasoned knight would prioritize attacks on the neck guard of the opponent's helmet, the gap in the helmet (i.e., the gap between the eyes of the helmet where Henry II died), or the handle of the shield. Once successful, the opponent can easily be knocked off the horse. And some obscene knights will also attack the opponent's war horse and stab the horse's glasses. However, the act of attacking a war horse generally occurs when there is a life-and-death struggle on the battlefield. But in the jousting arena, no one does that. Because, after defeating the opponent, you can get the opponent's war horse and equipment. If the opponent's horse is stabbed, even if it wins, it will be a loss.
Moreover, Marin forbade attacking war horses in jousting tournaments. After all, these are all war horses provided by him, and if they are damaged, it will be him who will lose.
The ban on not allowing attacks on the head also made the wandering knights very dissatisfied. Because, in horse warfare, they will be a little restrained and unable to perform.
But even if they're dissatisfied, they still have to follow the rules. After all, if you don't follow the rules, you will be driven away......
Therefore, when the knights competed, the knights could only attack the opponent's shield handle and other parts as much as possible.
But these wandering knights who have practiced martial arts since childhood are not stupid, seeing that the opponent is mainly attacking their shield handles, they have grabbed their shields one after another, trying not to expose their weaknesses. At the same time, the cavalry spear also stabbed at the enemy's weak point......
……
"Drive, drive!" On the jousting field, it was the turn of the wandering knights to fight horses and joust one after another.
Because one hand held a spear and the other a shield, the knights could not swing their whips to speed their horses. So, they all clamped the horse's belly with their feet, and then stimulated the horse with a spur in the heel of their combat boots. The war horse suffered pain in the abdomen, and naturally galloped forward. Knights, on the other hand, take the opportunity to raise their spears and attack the enemy......
After a round of charge, there was a burst of "pop-pop-pop-pop-" sound of broken rifles in the playing field.
When the knights, who had accelerated to the extreme, looked at each other, a hollow cavalry spear stabbed at the opponent at a tricky angle. Then, there was the sound of breaking.
And the two sides of the competition came into contact with each other for a moment. Then, after the two sides broke guns, they continued to move forward at high speed. Because, they can't stop at all......
After running a long distance, they came to the finish line. Their attendants will hand them a new hollow lance to replace the broken hollow lance. And even if the rifle is not broken, it must be replaced according to the rules.
Then, the two sides accelerated again and rushed forward at high speed. When they looked at each other, they attacked their opponents again - and there was another sound of "pop-pop-snap-snap-" and the sound of the riding spears breaking......
……
Next, the warrior who has broken off the spear will drive his horse back to the starting point, replace the hollow spear again, and turn around and fight again.
Of course, not all contestants will come back. For example, some people who are normal in martial arts are beaten down by opponents who are much more powerful than themselves......
"Boom-" How fast are the two horses when they stagger together? Even the plate cavalry could increase their speed to twenty or thirty kilometers per hour when hedging. That speed, like the speed of a walk-behind tractor...... Two walk-behind tractors collided head-on, and it was sour......
So, when they were knocked off their horses, these failed wandering knights flew up. At the same time, the war horses under their crotches are still rushing forward. Then, naturally, they fell to the ground......
"Tsk, it's so miserable, such a violent car accident scene......" Marin shook his head. He himself didn't like this kind of very dangerous knightly tournament very much, because it was too dangerous. However, in these years, the European aristocracy liked this tune, and Adler, the muscle stick, also liked it. So, he can't help it......
Luckily, Marlin had a thick layer of grass on the ground. It is better for these failed wandering knights to fall than to fall on a stone pavement.
Marin's rescue medical team quickly came to the rescue, but fortunately, because there was a layer of grass when hanging on the ground, no one fell particularly badly. Some of the wandering knights who brushed it down were not injured, but just fell and recovered quickly. But there are also some unlucky people who fell directly and needed orthopedic treatment from Mongolian doctors......
……
When the group horse race was over, more than 100 wounded who had been knocked off their horses were carried to Mongolian doctors such as Mozhigen and Batel for treatment. Fortunately, because Marin forbade attacks and the ground was protected by a thick layer of grass on the head, no one was killed or seriously injured. As long as they receive treatment, they can still recover their health. After all, they wore thick plate armor when they competed, and they had thick grass as a cushion when they landed. As long as the head is not attacked, it is still difficult to get fatal injuries.
However, in the competition, there was also disharmony. That is, someone violated the law and attacked the opponent's head......
For such unruly people, Marin immediately disqualified the opponent from the competition. After all, such unruly people are prone to battlefield disobedience. The harm of battlefield disobedience is extremely great, and the result of battlefield disobedience is often execution. Therefore, there is nothing wrong with Marin dealing with them for unruly reasons......
……
Then, the competition entered the knockout stage......
However, the knight's immediate hedging contest was like the scene of a car accident. At the end of each round of elimination, people were carried down one after another...... Often, the injuries sustained by these victims are not from weapons, but, like car accident victims, from high-speed collisions and falling to the ground......
There were several knights who were directly thrown into concussions. But fortunately, there was a helmet to protect it, and it didn't fall out of the brain. Moreover, for these knights, who were accustomed to fighting right away, a concussion was commonplace. As long as they don't fall and get disabled, as long as they are in good health, they will still step on horseback and have a car accident scene duel again, this is the fate of knights...... (https:)
