Chapter 031: Goal!

There are different theories about the origin of polo games, and the more popular theory is that it first appeared in the West, and then was introduced to Xia Tu through the Western Regions, and gradually developed and evolved into a very distinctive summer style polo.

In the West, as well as in the countries of the Western Regions, their polo games use one ball, while the summer-style polo in the Xia Kingdom uses two balls.

It is said that this revolutionary change was the idea personally finalized by Emperor Tianwu Lin Ze.

The polo game reflects the duel between the cavalry, which is very interesting and challenging, and can test the strength, skill, strategy, and coordination of the cavalry, which is undoubtedly a fun sport.

With one ball, the two teams will of course only be staring at the only ball, and the strategy will be limited to a simple one. When one side attacks, the other side will defend, or one side will counterattack and the other side will turn attack into defense, or the two will fight each other fiercely.

However, real warfare is not so simple, full of complex tactics and unpredictable variables. Defending doesn't mean there's no offense, and attacking doesn't mean there's no other offense brewing. False and real, true and false, treacherous and unpredictable.

In this way, changing one ball to two balls confirms the complexity of the battlefield to the greatest extent, increasing the difficulty and depth of the duel, as well as the fun.

Of course, in a low-quality polo duel, one ball is enough, and two balls are a bit difficult.

Since the birth of the two-ball polo game in the Xia Kingdom, this game has continued to be popular for nearly a thousand years, from the army to all strata, and is deeply loved by the military and civilians of the Xia Kingdom.

Moreover, the Xia Kingdom relied on cavalry to establish the country, just like hunting dogs, war sheep, eagles and beasts, etc., horses have also become extremely close friends of the Xia people, and they are loved by all sides. The moral law that horses should not be mistreated and slaughtered indiscriminately was even written directly into the law.

Excellent horse breeds spread all over the country, becoming people's partners and supporting the spread of the game of polo, and nowadays watching polo matches is as common as visiting a temple fair.

......

Gao Bo stared at the field motionlessly, a bright smile spread out from the corners of his mouth, and he looked like he had succeeded in his treacherous plan.

"Huh?"

At this moment, he suddenly felt a light on his arm, and hurriedly put down the "clairvoyance", looked up, and saw that the rope had been broken, and the flying wooden kite hanging the flag flew upwards uncontrollably like a kite with a broken string.

"My wooden kite!

He screamed miserably, and when he saw that the section of the rope was smooth, it was clearly cut by the good deeds, and he hurriedly looked around, and said angrily: "Damn bastard, who is it? Who cut my rope? Stand up for me!"

The boys laughed, and no one came forward, and no one told him, almost all of them had a gloating expression, and finally they were a little relieved.

Lynch said helplessly: "Look! I have already said that you are too flamboyant to do this, and it is easy to be plotted by others, but you just don't listen, you have to use a wooden kite......"

"Is it you? Isn't it you? Afraid I'll steal your limelight?" said Gao Bo, pointing to his nose.

Lynch was startled, and secretly said that this guy was probably really angry, and he actually bit people like a mad dog, and quickly shook his head, and resolutely denied it: "How could it be me? The wooden kite is flying farther and farther, and you'd better chase after it, and use the purple thread that Yu Fei gave you, maybe you can catch it back. ”

Gao Bo also felt that he had a point, looking at the game that was about to start in the field, and then looking at the wooden kite that flew away, he was almost crying, stomped his feet, and chased after him unwillingly.

The game was about to start, so as not to affect Purple Feather, Lynch stopped waving the flag and sat down in his seat, and the dragon's tooth sword that served as the flagpole rested quietly on his shoulder.

Soon after, under the order of the referee, the two teams galloped back to their respective flags and officially began to face off.

The white-clothed and black-patterned team is the wind chasing team, named after the Valkyrie Ye Xuan's mount chasing the wind, and the black-clothed and white-patterned is the deer chasing team, named after the Tianwu Emperor Lin Ze's mount chasing the deer. Each of the two teams had thirteen horsemen, and the men were the best riders in their respective camps, and the horses were the best horses in the Xia Kingdom. The duel between them will undoubtedly be a wonderful battle between the dragons and tigers.

These two teams represent the most famous cavalry camps of the Qilin Academy, the Wind Chasing Battalion and the Zhulu Battalion, respectively, and are the veteran powerhouses of all the polo teams in the Academy. In particular, the Zhulu team is known as a thousand-year-old powerhouse, and in the past thousand years, the championship title alone has won hundreds of times. For nearly 100 years, the annual polo finals have been held either between the wind chasing team and the deer chasing team, or between the deer team and other teams, with few exceptions.

Purple Feather Fei belongs to the side of the Wind Chasing Team, and the BMW under the seat is a celestial horse named after the legendary horse god, and the name is called Yinqi.

This horse is still young, not grown, the whole body is covered with treasure silver long hair, there is no trace of variegation all over the body, in the sun is like a vague silver light, in the shadow like a ghost, can travel thousands of miles a day, tireless.

There are very few horses, and in the whole world, there are only twenty horses. The Xia Kingdom has thirteen horses, of which four were adopted by the Hussar Country, and the rest were exiled to other countries, which is undoubtedly the rarest horse breed in the world.

The origin of these horses is still unknown, because their ancestors are unknown.

According to records, when Emperor Xia Lin Ze was still alive, the hussar kingdom located at the junction of the desert and the grassland in the Western Regions accidentally got a foal with silver hair, which was called magical, and it was presented to the Tianwu Emperor who was in charge of the Xia Kingdom at that time.

That horse has been Lin Lin'er's mount since she was a child, and has accompanied her throughout her career, and is known as Tiansi. The descendants of it are called the Heavenly Horse, which can be called heirlooms.

The reason why Purple Feather Fei was able to get a heavenly horse was not because of identity, status, or money, but because of the mysterious and unknowable fate. Because the celestial foal, like the eagle beast, is not something that just anyone can have. She went to the Heavenly Garden with many candidates, and the foal took a fancy to her, and became her mount without reproach.

She is the youngest of the thirteen horsemen of the Wind Chaser Team, but because of her extraordinary mount and extremely superb skills, she has become the main attacker in the main force.

According to the referee's ruling, the offensive was first launched by the wind chasing team, and the thirteen horsemen in white clothes and black stripes were scattered, some were responsible for defense, and some organized attacks.

The captain gave an order, Purple Feather Fei took the lead and rushed to the middle line, and the assister behind him followed closely with the polo, and the duel began!

The Wind Chasers were the only opponents that the Deer Chasers feared, and in order to win steadily, the team took an absolute defensive position from the beginning, and the team scattered in front of the flag gate, trying to block the opponent's first attack.

As for his own ball, it was quietly placed outside the flag line, and a heavy general was sent to guard it, and the caretaker was Yang Yu of the Iron Heart Clan, who had several intersections with Lynch.

Whether they want to concentrate on blocking the first wave of attacks and wait for an opportunity to counterattack, or whether they want to take the opponent's ball, two goals together, two goals at once, others have no way of guessing, they can only wait and see.

Purple Feather flew across the center line at a gallop on the Celestial Horse, using high speed and dexterity to pass through the defenders of the Deer Chaser team, and threw a flag gate composed of two large flags, a horizontal log, and a large net behind it.

The Zhulu team had expected that the Tianxi horse would be difficult to defend, so they assigned the most brisk team members to take the lead in running towards the door flag, barely keeping pace with it to mark the defense. This defender is none other than the Luo Water Fairy Zhen Miaomiao, who Gao Bo thought about in the twilight.

As for the others, they went out to fight for the polo with all their might, as long as they won the ball, even if the main attacker could rush to the front of the flag, it would be uneasy.

However, to the surprise of the Chaser team, the Wind Chasers did not attack directly, but kept passing the ball back. After passing three horses in a row, seeing that the distance was right, the opponent had not had time to surround him, and the fourth horse who suddenly rushed up suddenly exerted his strength, swung a strong blow, the ball was raised, and flew to the direction of the flag gate, and a long-distance direct pass came.

Just when everyone thought that the blow was too strong, the ball would either go over the main attacker and be easily taken by the goalkeeper, or it would be high above the crossbar, Purple Feather Fei stood up from the horse, like having wings, and jumped more than six meters high, and with a swing of the club, hit the ball, causing it to fly diagonally down towards the dead corner of the goalkeeper, and the speed was completely faster than the goalkeeper's reaction.

"Huh!"

This blow was successfully broken and caught.

Tianxi Ma Yinqi stopped sharply with his hooves back, and Purple Feather Fei just landed on the horse's back, standing firmly. If she doesn't hit the ground, it's not a foul.

A near-perfect attack, a victory!

Rumble!

The entire martial arts arena was shaken, and a huge wave of sound rose into the sky, almost dispersing the wisps of white clouds in the sky.

The unicorns of the Wind Chasing Camp were the most excited, seeing it as a sign of victory, they got up from their seats one after another, shouting and screaming towards the field!

But they were not as eye-catching as Lynch, in this warm atmosphere, he changed his usual quietness, shouted and stood on his seat, "Hulala" waved the flag vigorously, cheering for Purple Feather Fly.

This surprise attack of the Wind Chasing Team is actually a common long-pass tactic, first a single soldier rushes, and then lures the enemy to go deeper, and finally makes a long pass, breaks the goal, and makes a contribution with one blow.

It is not difficult to speculate on these words, but what the Zhulu team did not expect was that Zi Yufei's personal ability was too strong, whether it was the quality of the mount, or the individual jumping ability, as well as the accuracy of hitting the ball, it was shocking.

Purple Feather Flying Horse returned to the formation, greeted each other with the teammates who were cooperating, and then raised his chin to look at the viewing platform, and saw Lynch who was waving the flag and shouting at a glance, pursed his lips and smiled, took off his gloves, kissed it in the palm of his hand, blew lightly, and sent him a flying kiss......

Lynch, like all the people holding the "clairvoyance", could see it clearly, and his face suddenly turned red with shame, and he really couldn't bear such a blatant ambiguous act.

Although it is normal for Qilinzi to mature one or two years earlier than ordinary children of the same age, or even three or four years old, he is only ten years old this year, and Zi Yufei is only eleven years old, and both of them are still very young, how can this be?

The two sides rearranged their troops, and the counterattack of the Chalu team was about to begin, Lynch sat back in his seat, his face was still burning red in the laughter of his teammates on the fourth team, and his fragile heart was "fluttering", and he couldn't calm down for a short time.

His pupils were still staring at Zi Yufei, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw that someone on his right hand was looking at the field with "clairvoyance", thinking that Gao Bo had come back when he had come back, so he put his arm around his shoulders and opened his mouth to say, "When did you come back......?"

Before the word "goal" was finished, he was surprised to find that where he was holding Gao Bo, it was clearly a girl wearing a wide-brimmed sunhat and a black scarf covering her face!

The feeling of grabbing her shoulders is also obviously wrong, both slender and graceful, but also soft and soft. However, this is something that was only felt after the discovery.
