Chapter Forty-Nine: There is a surprise in the first battle
When the envoys of various countries came to the meeting, they did not know that a polo match would be held, so they did not deliberately select their own polo players to accompany them.
But Daqian is different, in addition to the members of the mission, there are also the people of Daqian.
Just two days ago, the Shuofeng Lou Guild Hall blatantly posted a notice to recruit polo masters to participate.
Although the notice says that the purpose of this competition is "friendship first, competition second", everyone can voluntarily choose a team to help according to their preferences.
But the common people are not fools, who are willing to join the ranks of other countries to fight their own people.
Crazy, right?
So in the end, the polo master who signed up to volunteer to help the Qianguo team almost broke through the door of the hall.
Ji Nancheng had to come forward, first thanking them for their participation, and at the same time saying that in order to show fairness, the players recruited by the private sector can only be used as reserves, and if there are players who need to be replaced if they are injured on the field, they will be replaced as appropriate.
In this way, the envoys of the other three countries breathed a sigh of relief.
But even so, Qianguo is also the first place, after all, their strength is there.
Since the first place can't be competed, what about the second and third place?
There's always something to fight.
After an impassioned drum beat, the prince loudly announced: "The game is open one by one."
Match 1: Team and Guo against Team Jin.
Although the Wakuni delegation died Prince Kitaku and left the prince of Kigaki, most of the envoys were still there, and the leader of the team, Lord Okamoto, despite his fears, still participated in the competition.
Just looking at the lineup and mental state of the players, it's not bad, but I don't know how much strength there is.
Looking at the Jin Guo team again, His Royal Highness Ye Rong walked at the forefront of the team with the ball in his hand, and the navy blue team uniform showed that he was heroic, and he couldn't see the embarrassment of being attacked by wolves in the forest that day.
The two teams entered, shook hands in turn, and then mounted their horses, and with the sound of a drum, the well-trained horses galloped quickly, and the warriors on the horses scrambled one by one, and the ball battle swept across the ground like dragonflies, and as soon as they touched the polo, they were soon struck away by others.
The drums beat quickly and slowly.
The atmosphere was particularly tense at the beginning.
It's none of my business.
Shen Wenjiang was not interested in watching, and was about to go out to take a breath, when a figure suddenly flashed in front of him.
Ji Nancheng walked in wearing a red team uniform.
"Yikes! Third brother, you are so handsome today! Shen Yu opened his mouth exaggeratedly, and blurted out these words without thinking about it.
Ji Nancheng's face turned red, and he glanced at Shen Wenjiang, "That, I'm just coming to take a look...... It's time for us to play in a minute. ”
"Hmmm! Come on! Trust you! You are the best! Shen Wenjiang was uncharacteristically very excited, and raised his right hand vigorously with a fist.
Shen Yu glanced at her, "You still need to say this, the third brother is of course the best!" ”
Ji Nancheng said: "No one can say for sure what is happening on the field, just do your best in everything." ”
"Well, just do your best." Shen Wenjiang nodded, and a trace of worry suddenly flashed in his eyes: "However, don't take care of yourself, don't get hurt." ”
"I will."
Shen Yu next to him secretly gritted his teeth.
These days, she obviously feels that this Ji Nancheng is not as good to her as before.
I didn't expect him to change his mind so quickly!
It's too annoying, isn't it?
It's all this dead girl.
Hmph, let's see......
Ji Nancheng stayed for a while and left, and the situation on the field had changed a little at this time.
His Royal Highness Jin Guoyerong took the lead by one goal and took the lead.
The applause outside the audience was thunderous.
However, it didn't take long for the team to catch up with a goal, and a quarter of an hour later, Heguo scored another goal to overtake.
His Royal Highness Ye Rong was in a hurry, completely forgetting the tactics and tactics discussed before, and only blindly rampaged with all his strength, grabbing the ball and hitting the ball indiscriminately.
The members of the Jin Country were afraid that His Royal Highness the eldest grandson would make a mistake, so they were busy and followed closely step by step, protecting each other.
Grabbed the ball again, and was once again stopped by a tall player from the opposing team at close range.
The other party seemed to be aroused by him, and his face suddenly increased his anger, and he slapped the horse closer, and slapped his palm on the butt of the horse that His Royal Highness Ye Rong was riding.
The horse neighed, frightened and ran forward.
If you change your riding skills, you will be able to stabilize your body and control the horse at the first time.
But His Royal Highness Ye Rong was not good at riding, and before he could sit firmly, he fell off the horse on the spot.
Fortunately, Jin Guo's team members were nearby, and they hurriedly rushed over to protect the people.
At the same time, the referee blew the whistle.
This is too obvious with the national players' violations, and many people have seen it.
The crowd in the stands cheered even more.
The game had to be suspended.
The medical officer rushed forward to inspect the injury.
Fortunately, the team members all wore knee pads, and His Royal Highness Ye Rong protected his head out of inertia, so he scratched a little skin on his hand, and there was no major problem.
The foul and national player was naturally sent off.
As the leader of the team, Okamoto-sama also felt that his face was gloomy, and hurriedly called the team members to give an urgent lecture.
The tall player was very unconvinced, he saw that kid was too much, relying on the identity of His Royal Highness, protected by several people around him, blindly grabbing the ball and hitting the ball, and there was no discipline at all.
He just wanted to keep that kid away, who knew that his riding skills were so bad, he couldn't even ride a horse and what polo he played?
Go home and play with the women as soon as possible.
Because of this episode, the subsequent games and the national players converged a lot, and they didn't dare to fight the Jin national team again.
As a result, the Kim team won against Wakoku with a score of 3 to 1.
Next is the confrontation between Qianguo and Pingguo.
On the Qianguo side, Ji Nancheng and the four princes all appeared, and the prince was also going to end the game, but he was persuaded by Lord Yang and several other adults, so he had to sit in the stands and watch.
I saw that the Qianguo team members were dressed in red short robes and dark leggings, holding clubs and stepping on combat boots, sitting on their horses with high spirits.
Shen Wenjiang suddenly came to his senses, and looked at the world on the field without blinking, for fear of missing a slight.
The Pingguo team over there started with King Yi, all of them did not squint, their waists were straight, their movements were neat, and they didn't look weak.
I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, King Yi's gaze swept over the crowd and glanced this way.
Shen Wenjiang didn't notice it at all, but Shen Yu saw it in his eyes, and a trace of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes.
It's a pity that Shen Wenjiang still didn't see anything.
All her attention at the moment was on Shizi.
As if sensing her gaze, Ji Nancheng looked at her and raised his fist as hard as she had before, with a bright smile on his face.
That's nice!
The drums sounded, and the horses galloped on the field.
The ball in the hands of the knights swayed like a torrential rain, crackling in the direction of the ball's rolling.
Don't look at the four princes, who look like they have few strings, but their riding skills are very good, and their momentum on the horse can be described as high-spirited.
At this moment, he followed the direction of the ball rolling, quickly grabbed the ball from five or six balls, and swung the ball to take advantage of the situation.
I saw that the ball drew a beautiful arc in mid-air, and finally passed through the opposite goal at a very tricky angle.
"Entered!"
