Chapter 248: Desperate Situation
The Beginner Canon is an endless battle.
The second round of the polo battle has to be played in a total of three rounds, and the six countries play against each other in pairs until the last one.
At this time, through the draw, the first round of pairing has been completed.
Outside the crowd of onlookers at the side of the racecourse, on a locust tree on the top of the mountain hundreds of miles away from the racecourse, a pair of eyes were quietly watching this lead
Li Ji stood alone on the tree on the top of the mountain, quietly watching into the distance. He closed his eyes and looked at the horse farm in the distance that had become noisy due to the results of the draw.
Even luck never stood behind that girl.
After seeing the results of the draw, only this sentence came to his mind.
In the preliminary polo battle, the results of the first round of the draw were Southern Chu against Former Qin, Northern Wei against Later Liao, and Eastern Wu against Central Tang.
The result of this lottery can be regarded as very spiritual.
Ying Baoyue leaned against the fence, quietly looking around, and when he heard the results of the lottery, he instantly looked like the other cultivators of Qianqin who had been beaten in the face.
The strongest in polo has always been the Northern Wei and Later Liao, followed by the Southern Chu. This time, it is a good thing that the two powerhouses digested it internally in the first round first, but among the remaining three countries, drawing Nanchu is the worst situation for signing luck.
Although Southern Chu is not a nation on horseback, but the national strength and the realm of cultivators are placed there, and the morale of the local warriors is high, listening to the examiner's announcement that the former Qin will draw the Southern Chu, a deafening mountain cry and the sound of the victory of the Southern Chu suddenly broke out in the peripheral pergola, and the cultivators with relatively low realms in the former Qin team were frightened enough.
Before the comparison began, the momentum had been overwhelmed.
However, Ying Baoyue was not worried about this, she was more worried about what Nan Chu would do in the competition. Ying Baoyue looked at Ye Siyuan, who was surrounded by other members of the Nanchu Horse Team not far away, she had seen a lot of things that shouldn't happen when she was investigating the information of the cultivators of the Nanchu Club participating in the polo match.
And most of those things are related to Ye Siyuan and the Nanchu Ye clan.
"Well, since you want to win, no matter which country you want to meet." On the other hand, Ying Xun squeezed the paper stick in his hand into his palm, glanced at his companions with solemn expressions around him, took a deep breath and said, "Get ready to play, everyone can come as usual when they practice." ”
"Follow the time of practice?" However, at this moment, a cultivator sneered, and the next moment, his cold gaze drifted to Ying Baoyue, "The people I usually practice with are not here, there are still people here who haven't practiced at all!" ”
This sentence is addressed to whom everyone knows.
Ying Xun's eyes flickered, but when all the eyes around him looked over, his heart was a mess and he didn't know what to do.
"Okay, what's the use of you all this?" Ying Xun pressed the irritability in her heart and said loudly, "Don't say anything, get ready to play!" ”
"Change horses!"
With the sound of the chain railing opening, under the guidance of the examiner, the Southern Chu Forbidden Army pulled out a war horse. In order to avoid the influence of horses on performance, all the horses they ride are uniformly provided by the horse farm.
In the neighing of horses, everyone changed into the horses on the field and galloped towards the field.
Nanchu's royal racecourse can accommodate three polo matches at the same time, and when six teams are lined up on the court at the same time, the whole racecourse is completely boiling.
"It's time to start!"
"Ouch, I don't know which side to look at for three games in a row!"
"Of course, it's to see the Northern Wei Dynasty and the Later Liao! The Northern Wei people don't mention anything else, polo is a must, and if you miss this time, you won't be able to watch it! ”
"The Northern Wei Dynasty is wonderful, but the Southern Chu side doesn't look at you or are you still not from Southern Chu?"
"That's the case, but it's not that there is no suspense at all between Nan Chu and Qianqin!"
"How could Former Qin win Southern Chu?"
How did Former Qin win Southern Chu?
The people in the pergola pushed and talked, and in the midst of these discussions, the bell rang for the official start of the polo match.
"Boom!"
"Tee off!"
With the examiner's shout, there was a sound of drawing swords in unison from the racecourse, and in the shadow of the sword, a wooden ball the size of a black melon was thrown into the air.
And this ball is the polo.
Because the polo match of the beginner's canon replaces the club with a sword, and other blades are also allowed, in the case of such a lethal "stick", the polo naturally cannot be a common keju or an ordinary wooden ball.
The polo of the Beginner Grand Ceremony is made of ironwood, a specialty of Nanchu, which is extremely hard and heavy, and it takes a lot of skill and strength to hit such a ball.
The polo game is not much different from modern football under the improvement of Emperor Taizu and Da Si Ming, the biggest difference is that the polo field is square, and there are four gates in the south, east and west, and two on one side.
And in this competition, the east and south gates belong to Qianqin, and the west and north gates belong to Nanchu.
There will be a cultivator in front of each gate to stop nearby to guard the goal, and the actual number of people fighting for the ball in the center of the court is only six people per team.
For the twelve, the first challenge was to see who could get the ball that was thrown at the beginning.
The team that grabs the ball can start first.
At the moment when the examiner tossed it, twelve pairs of eyes were firmly fixed on the black ball, and everyone was riding on a horse so they couldn't jump up at this time, and the next thing was to compare the courage to rush.
"Bang"!
The black ball fell, and the young men who were originally lined up collided with people and horses, and a huge amount of dust rose from the ground, and more than a dozen horses neighed violently!
"Here we go!"
"Who grabbed it?!"
"Master Ye?"
In front of the huge dust, the audience widened their eyes and searched desperately.
"Three people are off the horse!" A high-level practitioner in charge of observing the movement from a distance reported.
In the rush just now, three people had fallen off their horses and screamed in the dust, and the next moment the tall cultivator emerged from the dust, and people looked at Ye Siyuan in the crowd expectantly, but the next moment they found that Ye Siyuan was holding a long sword in his hand and his eyes were angry and gloomy.
"Stop her!"
Stop whom?
In Ye Siyuan's shouting, people suddenly found that something was wrong in the dust.
That is, the examiner just reported that the three people had fallen off their horses, and it was said that after the dust and fog dissipated at this time, it could be seen that there were four horses and no one on horseback.
What about people?
But at that moment, something seemed to shake from the side of the fourth horse.
"Someone!"
Someone in the crowd screamed in surprise, and the fourth horse on his back suddenly broke out of the dust, and not far from the horse's feet, the black wooden ball was rolling.
And the rusty long sword was exposed on the side of the ball, and against the backdrop of this long sword, people found the slender figure of Liu Zaima's side.
"What? Qianqin grabbed it?!
"That woman ......"
Looking at the back of the rushing forward, Ji Jiashu in the stands smiled slightly, but the next moment his pupils suddenly shrank, staring at the arena and the person next to the girl.
Just after Yingyue rushed out with the ball, two cultivators with five big and three thick bodies surrounded her from two sides, and at the moment of embellishment, the two big men used their swords to force the military horse to lower its head and hit the girl's body.
