A polo match is played for an hour, and if the two sides are tied, then individual shots are needed to determine the final victory, which is a bit like today's football penalty shootout, mainly to improve the fun of polo matches, which is also the favorite decisive way for countless polo fans.

There are two ways to shoot the decisive battle, one is that all the players take turns to shoot, and the other is the main decisive battle, this Datang polo match is the latter one, the main general decisive battle, the main general of both sides will shoot ten goals each, and the one who enters the hole more wins.

Inside the big tent, Li Zhen carefully took off the leather armor on his body, and the short blade shot by Zhang Changzong was still inserted into his leather armor, and the short blade was close to Li Zhen's flesh, which was his dodge in time, and if he was a little slower, he would be bleeding from the knife.

Shangguan Wan'er also heard the news and rushed over, because she participated in the ceremony of the political hall, when she arrived at the venue, the game was halfway through, and the internal guard team and the Taiping Mansion team were able to draw after an hour of hard competition, which made her deeply happy, but Li Zhen was plotted against her and made her extremely angry.

"Sacrifice people, this matter must not be left like this"

Everyone shouted angrily, Wang Dali deliberately hit Xiao Ye on his horse, although it was annoying, but it was still within the bottom line, after all, it was normal to hit people in a polo game, but it was the first time they heard of it when they used a dark arrow to hurt people in a polo game, which aroused everyone's anger.

Li Zhen waved his hand, "Don't make any noise, I believe that Sheren will handle this matter."

Shangguan Wan'er nodded, and said to everyone: "Don't worry, this matter will never be over, and I will give Commander Li and you an explanation." ”

At this time, Du Jingjian, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, walked into the big tent quickly, "I heard that there was an accident?"

"Du Shilang, it's not an accident, but someone committed a murder in the game"

Shangguan Wan'er pointed to the short blade that was still inserted in the leather armor and said coldly: "Du Shilang, this is the end of the game Commander Li was plotted by the other party, he dodged quickly, and escaped this catastrophe, I hope to see Du Shilang be impartial and deal with this matter in time." ”

"This—"

Du Jingjian gasped, he dared to hurt people with a sharp blade, it was the first time he encountered it, but he was deeply embarrassed, the other party was Princess Taiping's team, how could he negotiate with Princess Taiping, but he couldn't afford to offend Shangguan Wan'er.

"I wonder who you're hurt?"

"It's me who hurts"

Li Zhen covered his left abdomen with a piece of gauze, and he deliberately moved the gauze, which seemed to faintly reveal red bloodstains, which really surprised Du Jingjian, "Commander Li, is the injury serious?"

"It's a flesh injury, but it affects my next game."

After hesitating for a while, Du Jingjian said: "Otherwise, I'll discuss with the other party, even if the internal guard team wins this game, what do you think?"

Li Zhen shook his head, "Du Shilang, this is unreasonable, it is obviously a tie, and the main general has to fight a heads-up battle to decide the victory, but you announced that we have won, how can you explain to the 100,000 spectators, do you tell them that the polo player in Taiping Mansion hurts people with a knife? Du Shilang thinks Princess Taiping will agree?"

"Why don't I discuss this with Princess Taiping first. ”

Shangguan Wan'er has such eyesight, she saw that Du Jingjian had the idea of calming things, so she sneered and said: "Du Shilang can go and talk to the other party, but I have to leave the evidence, if Du Shilang can't solve it, then I'll go to the saint, in short, we must have an explanation for this matter." ”

Du Jingjian's heart was under great pressure, if this matter really stabbed the saint, it would be him who was unlucky, Du Jingjian was speechless, so he had to make a vague statement, and hurried to another big tent.

In the big tent of the Taiping Mansion Polo Team, Princess Taiping was scolding a group of polo players to the point of blood, "I haven't seen you incompetent people, don't you usually boast of being the first in the world?

Everyone was scolded and trembled, and they all bowed their heads in shame and remained silent, and Princess Taiping's fierce eagle-like gaze swept over everyone's faces one by one.

At this time, Zhang Changzong stepped forward and hugged his fists and said: "Your Royal Highness Princess, after all, we haven't lost yet, and we have a great chance of winning, wouldn't it be better to talk about the gains and losses when it's over?"

"Really, how do you know that you will win, you can defeat Li Zhen?" Princess Taiping looked at him with a sneer, she knew that Zhang Changzong had a small background, and he was a little more powerful on the bed, and he was 108,000 miles worse than Li Zhen.

Zhang Changzong smiled very confidently: "If it was usual, I was not sure, but now I am eight points sure to beat him." ”

Princess Taiping looked at him suspiciously, wondering how he could have become so confident?

At this moment, a maid reported at the door, "Your Royal Highness Princess, Du Shilang has urgent matters to see"

Princess Taiping turned around, only to see Du Jingjian poking his head in front of the big tent, with an urgent expression, so she ordered: "Let him in"

Du Jingjian walked into the big tent quickly, bowed down and said, "See Her Royal Highness the princess."

"Du Shilang, what is your urgent matter?"

"Your Royal Highness Princess, the lowly has just come from the Great Guard Tent. ”

"Is there something wrong?" Princess Taiping's face slowly became gloomy, and she intuitively told her that it would not be a good thing for Du Jingjian to find her at this time.

Du Jingjian's heart became more and more flustered, and he stammered: "Li Zhen was stabbed in the lower abdomen by a sharp blade at the end of the game. ”

Princess Taiping Huo Di turned her head and glared at Zhang Changzong, she suddenly understood, why Zhang Changzong said that he was sure to defeat Li Zhen, this must be a good thing for him.

Zhang Changzong lowered his head weakly, Princess Taiping glared at him for a long time, and then turned back to Du Jingjian and said coldly: "Du Shilang means that it was my people who stabbed Li Zhen

"Humble office has no intention of this, just just"

"Just what?" Princess Taiping glared at him.

Du Jingjian lowered his head and said stubbornly: "It's just that there is a sharp blade stuck in the leather armor, and the Shangguan Sheren believes that it was stabbed by the golfer of the Taiping Mansion."

Princess Taiping sneered, she took a piece of leather armor from the wooden frame, took out a dagger, and stabbed it fiercely, she turned around and glared at Du Jingjian, "We were also injured by someone with a sharp blade in the game, do you want to give us an explanation?"

Princess Taiping's arrogance made Du Jingjian's forehead ooze cold sweat, he couldn't say a word for a long time, so he had to silently withdraw from the big tent and walk to the door of the tent, Princess Taiping suddenly asked him: "How is Li Zhen's injury?"

"Returning to the princess, he was injured in the lower left abdomen, and it doesn't seem to be too strict. ”

"There you go"

Du Jingjian sighed in his heart, and had to withdraw from the big tent, Princess Taiping pondered for a moment, and then asked Zhang Changzong, "Are you really sure?"

"Forty steps away from the goal, never missed, the other party except Li Zhen, the rest of the people are not worried, even if Li Zhen is forced to go into battle, he has injuries on his body, it will definitely affect the wave, and the humble function defeats him. ”

Princess Taiping originally wanted to temporarily change the main general and let Yang Shenjiao, who had a higher level, go into battle, but Li Zhen was injured, and it was not a big problem to let Zhang Changzong go into battle, after all, it was her male favorite, and she would not hurt Zhang Changzong's self-esteem until she was forced to do so.

"Well, I hope you don't disappoint me"

Knock, after the two teams rested for a quarter of an hour, the drums beat again, and the time for the decisive battle between the two armies came.

Li Zhen was already waiting in front of the decisive goal, he glanced at Zhang Changzong who was running opposite, a trace of imperceptible sneer flashed in his eyes, although Princess Taiping resolutely refused to admit that Yan zhòng violated the rules in the game, but she still caused a misjudgment, thinking that she was really injured by a sharp blade, and still sent Zhang Changzong, instead of Yang Shenjiao, who had the most skillful skills.

Of course, judging from the game, Zhang Changzong's ball skills are indeed good, but compared to Yang Shenjiao, all three goals were scored by Yang Shenjiao, Zhang Changzong was the main general, but he did not score a goal, which can be seen from this point.

Zhang Changzong flew over, he quickly glanced at Li Zhen's abdomen, and saw that he was no longer wearing leather armor, but wearing a soft polo suit, which was obviously due to a wound in the abdomen and could no longer wear leather armor, Zhang Changzong was secretly proud in his heart, the reason why he insisted on playing was because he could take this opportunity to defeat the powerful Li Zhen, so that his reputation spread throughout the capital.

When the main general will fight, the big wooden board of the polo hole is erected in the center of the field, so that all the spectators can go to the scene of the decisive battle, the decisive battle method is relatively simple, called 'forty steps to shoot, that is, to choose ten shooting points outside the forty steps, ten polos are placed in turn, the two sides take turns to hit, the first round of all the shots wins, if the two sides draw, then the second round, until the two sides are separated.

The most brilliant person of this kind of fixed-point shooting is like Dou Xianyun, he stacked twenty copper coins on the ground, waved his staff twenty times, and hit the twenty copper coins into the hole forty steps away in turn, causing a sensation in the capital.

The polo has been set, the two sides draw lots, it is still Li Zhen who plays first, Li Zhen slowly pushes to the starting point thirty steps away, gently moves his wrist and stick, looking for the best ball feeling.

At this time, nearly 100,000 spectators around the stadium stood up, staring intently at Li Zhen and the polo on the ground, in another stadium, the Thousand Cavalry Battalion and the Liang Wang Military General Team were in a fierce battle, the Thousand Cavalry Battalion had a large lead of five to two, and there was still a quarter of an hour to end the game, and the victory of the Thousand Cavalry Battalion was a foregone conclusion.

Start

Wang Jin of the Ministry of Rites gave an order, an official waved the red flag, Li Zhen urged the war horse, rushed out of the starting line, he ran faster and faster, and instantly rushed to the front of the polo, waved the staff a heavy blow, only to hear a crisp sound, the polo flew out of the ground, accurately shot into the hole, he shot like a flowing cloud, without stagnation, and the surrounding audience resounded with cheers.

Li Zhen glanced at Zhang Changzong, turned the horse's head and retreated to the side, it was Zhang Changzong's turn to shoot, he also urged the horse to the starting line, but he was a little uneasy in his heart, judging from Li Zhen's shooting posture just now, he didn't look injured at all, is his injury fake?

At this time, Zhang Changzong was no longer allowed to think about it, the red flag was waved again, Zhang Changzong also galloped, swung his cane and slammed it, and the polo also hit the hole, and he also retreated triumphantly.

Next to the big tent in the distance, Di Yan was also watching the battle between the two sides intently, she was really worried in her heart, so she slowly walked to Zhang Li's side and asked in a low voice, "Brother Zhang, do you think Lao Li can win in the end?"

Zhang Li is much more stable than Jiuzhi, he doesn't talk much, but he will never say anything, compared to the fat man, Di Yan trusts what he says more, Zhang Li stares at the two people in the distance for a moment, and said slowly: "This kind of shooting is relatively simple, and I can't see the gap between the two sides for the time being, I estimate that when the last two balls are reached, the ball shoots at an oblique angle, maybe there will be a little deviation, and the outcome is at that time." ”

At this time, Shangguan Wan'er slowly walked to Di Yan's side and said softly: "This is not only a contest of ball skills, but also a contest of will and courage between the two sides, I believe that Ah Zhen will not disappoint you and me." ”

Shangguan Wan'er is not wrong, this kind of fixed-point shooting is actually not very difficult, for top polo players, it is just a basic skill, and few people will miss, but the difficulty is that every ball is hit, and the more you get to the back, the greater the pressure, then you need a firm will, which is actually a contest of willpower.

The two sides have scored seven goals each, and it was the turn of the eighth, the red flag was waved, Li Zhen urged the horse to gallop, and without hesitation, he shot a hard shot, the ball was shot from the oblique angle, but it still shot accurately into the hole.

At this time, Zhang Changzong had already seen that Li Zhen was not injured, and it could be seen from his expression and posture that it was impossible for the injured person to fight so easily, and he began to feel pressure in his heart, his hands were sweaty, the initial smug expression was gone, and his handsome face was slightly deformed, making him extremely nervous.

He shouted, gritted his teeth and urged the horse to rush out, and with a horizontal swing of his heart, he swung his stick, and the polo flew out, but it was slightly off, hit the edge of the hole, and bounced into the hole, and he was immediately relieved.

Li Zhen smiled slightly, "There are still two balls, Zhang Gongzi has to work harder"

Zhang Changzong glared at him fiercely, but he didn't have any confidence in his heart, he felt more and more nervous, and even his arms were weak.

"Ninth Ball"

The official shouted and waved the red flag again, Li Zhen gently stroked the war horse, and whispered in its ear: "There are two more balls, old man, add a handful of oil"

Red smoke and snow seemed to understand the master's advice, it snorted heavily, shook its spirits, ran towards the polo with four hooves, and hit the polo with a cane, and the polo flew out of a more oblique straight line, almost grazed into the hole, and the surrounding was thunderous again, this polo played extremely wonderful.

At this time, Zhang Changzong said something to the presiding official, and the official nodded, ran over and said to Li Zhen: "Can Commander Li play the last ball first?" Zhang Gongzi's wrist is a little sprained and needs to be restored. ”

Li Zhen knew that Zhang Changzong was sprained, and he was clearly afraid in his heart, and he wanted to stabilize his feelings, which was good, so that he could finish the last ball in one go.

He glanced at the position of the last ball, from which it was almost impossible to hit the hole directly, and only with the best of skill could be used to score this goal, and he pondered for a moment and decided to use the safest technique.

Li Zhen urged the horse to run out, and the war horse went straight to the polo, but he stopped the war horse, knocked lightly with his stick, and the polo rose into the air, not a straight line, but a parabola, the power of the polo was just right, the polo hit the edge of the hole, Li Zhen's heart was also pinched, only to see the ball bounce on the edge, and it bounced into the hole.

Ten goals, Li Zhen was so excited that he raised his arms, drums and cheers resounded throughout the court, but Zhang Changzong's face was pale, he expected Li Zhen to miss the hole with the last ball, bringing him a glimmer of hope, but the polo still went into the hole, but pushed him into a situation of no return.

Zhang Changzong stared blankly at his ninth ball, his mind was blank, "Zhang Gongzi, let's start" The flag-raising official was urging him.

He took a deep breath, raised his staff and hit the polo, and at the moment of playing, he saw the fierce and cold gaze of Princess Taiping, and his wrist couldn't help shaking.

Oh no, he shouted in his heart, this ball is going to be bad, Li Zhen couldn't help but smile on his face, only to see the polo shoot straight into the hole, the polo hit the wooden board about an inch away from the hole, and bounced out, Zhang Changzong's face was suddenly like ashes, and the stick fell to the ground.

More than 100,000 spectators cheered together, the internal guard polo players were so excited that they hugged each other tightly, Di Yan also shed tears, she fell into Shangguan Wan'er's arms, and cried excitedly.

The Inner Guard eliminated the strong Taiping Mansion team in the final decisive battle and reached the final.
