Chapter 295 Playing Polo For The First Time
The next day, after the early dynasty, Lin Xuan sent the rewritten Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties to the Keyun Building and handed it over to Zhao Min.
After returning home, he changed into the clothes he usually wears for practicing, and under the guard of a group of soldiers, Lin Xuan went to the polo field in the southern suburbs.
Chang'an City faces south from the north, and the south gate is the official road to Luoyang.
Although the polo field is in the southern suburbs, it is actually in the southwest of Chang'an.
Now it is approaching late autumn, and the autumn is crisp and not hot.Otherwise, Lin Xuan would not agree to play some polo.
From a distance, Lin Xuan saw Cheng Chumo and others waiting at the polo field gate with some people.
"drive!"
Lin Xuan lightly pinched the horse's belly and speeded up.
When the horse came to the front, Lin Xuan got off the horse and threw the rope to Liu Da.
"Zi Chu, it's so late." Cheng Chumo complained.
Lin Xuan curled his lips and said, "The morning is over and the night is over, what can I do?"
To be honest, he was a little envious of Cheng Chumo and the others, who didn't have to go to court in the morning, which was very chic.
"I've met the Marquis of Jingyang County." A man in his forties smiled and stepped forward to salute Lin Xuan.
Lin Xuan looked at Cheng Chumo with some doubts, and asked, "This is it?"
Cheng Chumo introduced: "His name is Li Xing, the manager of this racecourse."
Lin Xuan waved his hand and said, "You don't need to be too polite."
This polo field belongs to Li Daozong, the king of Jiangxia County, and the people who usually come to play are either the sons of lords or princes and nobles.
Li Xingneng was sent by Li Daozong to take charge of the polo field, so he must be Li Daozong's confidant.
Yuchi Baolin said, "Let's go in first."
Li Xing said quickly: "Young masters and masters, this way please."
The polo field is about 300 meters long and 200 meters wide, covering a very large area.
There are many sheds for watching the battle around, specially for people to watch.
It's just that the polo field was taken over by Cheng Chumo today, and apart from their group, there were only Li Xing and other insiders.
"Li Xing, arrange for your most powerful people to fight us. Also, don't let them let go." Cheng Chumo ordered.
The polo field is naturally accompanied by playing, and the technology is very good.
In order to give those Lord's children who come to play a better experience, they usually don't give full play at all.
Cheng Chumo was very clear about the doorway inside, so he deliberately explained it.
"Yes!" Li Xing went down to make arrangements.
Cheng Chumo said to Lin Xuan: "Zichu, this is your first time playing polo, you can just play defense after a while. Just prevent the opponent from scoring."
Polo game, four players on one side.
The number 1 is the offensively oriented player who needs to defend the opposing team's number 4.
The No. 2 player plays a vital role in offense, either by running and scoring or passing the ball to the No. 1; on defense, he has to deal with the No. 3 of the opposing team.
The No. 3 player is the tactical leader, usually necessarily a fearsome hitter, who must focus on defense while feeding the ball to the No. 2 and No. 1.
The No. 4 player is primarily a defensive player who can move anywhere on the field, but the main task is to try to prevent the opponent from scoring, thus freeing up other teammates to attack.
Although Lin Xuan has never played polo, but his horse is very good, coupled with good riding skills, it can be said that he is very suitable for defense.
It was based on this consideration that Cheng Chumo made such an arrangement.
Lin Xuan nodded, Cheng Chumo had already told him the rules.He has never played polo, so he can't say which position he likes.It doesn't matter which position you play.
Suddenly, there was a sound of horseshoes.
Lin Xuan and the others looked around, and saw four strong men riding horses to the polo field.
Li Xing trotted over and said, "Young masters and masters, I wonder if these people are satisfied?"
Cheng Chumo looked at it, nodded, and said, "That's right, let's start."
The soldiers brought their horses over.
The four of them put on their armor, took their polo clubs, and got on their horses.
It's been a while since I saw Cheng Chumo's horses, and I didn't expect that the shotguns were replaced by cannons.
Although the horses of the few of them are not top-notch horses, they can be regarded as thousand-mile horses.
"The horse is not bad, where did it come from?" Lin Xuan asked.
"Hehe, not bad. Didn't you let us go to my father's place to study? This horse was obtained from my father's place. Not only the three of us have it, but even Xue Rengui has it." Cheng Chumo said proudly.
"Compared to my Lion Cong, it's much worse." Lin Xuan said lightly.
It was no surprise that Cheng Yaojin got some good horses for them.
There are hundreds of thousands of horses, and it is not surprising that there are several thousand-mile horses.
Xue Rengui also got a horse, which probably won the favor of Cheng Chumo and the others.
"Forehead!"
I have a saying in my heart that MMP does not know whether to say it or not.
Is there any horse in the world that can compare with a lion's horse?
There might be, but they haven't seen it yet.
Otherwise, Li Shimin wouldn't love Lion Cong so much.
Although their horses are good horses, it depends on what they are compared with.
The four of them rode horses and walked to the arena, facing the four sparring partners.
Seeing that both sides were ready, Li Xing walked to the middle of the field, threw the ball into the sky with all his strength.
After throwing it away, Li Xing hurried to the outside of the court.
The eyes of the eight people in the field were fixed on the rising ball. When the ball rose to a certain height, the inertia force disappeared, and the ball fell down quickly.
"drive!"
When the ball fell halfway, the eight people shouted and rushed out.
Lion Cong led Lin Xuan to take the lead.
Although it was a short distance to accelerate, when Lion Cong rushed in front of Polo, he still left the others by two positions.
Lin Xuan raised the polo stick, accurately hit the polo that was about to hit the ground, and hit the ball behind him.
This was not difficult for Lin Xuan who often practiced marksmanship.
After Lin Xuan got a hit, he didn't go to watch the game, but drove to intercept his opponent.
Polo is not difficult, you need to control the horse to accelerate, turn sharply, dash, and hit the ball into the goal.
It is also necessary to constantly make judgments and adjustments during the exercise, which not only requires relatively high physical and psychological requirements for the rider, but also a good horse can have an advantage in the competition.
The horses of Lin Xuan and the others were much better than those of the opponent. When Cheng Chumo and the others received the ball, Lin Xuan had already rushed in front of the four of them.
Although the four opponents were not as good as Lin Xuan and the others, they were more experienced than others.
Seeing Lin Xuan coming up to meet him, the four of them immediately separated two to block Lin Xuan, and the remaining two were ready to block Cheng Chumo and the others.
At this time, the three of Cheng Chumo had already carried the ball, crossed from the side, and headed for the opponent's goal.
The other two quickly turned their horses and chased after them.
"Baolin, stop them!" Cheng Chumo yelled, without looking back, he took the ball and went straight to the goal.
Yuchi Baolin didn't hesitate, he rode his horse towards the two of them.
You only need to block the opponent for a while, and Cheng Chumo will hit the ball into the goal without any obstruction.
The two opponents were not stupid, they quickly dispersed, not giving Yuchi Baolin a chance to stop them.
Of the two people on Lin Xuan's side, one of them also got rid of Lin Xuan's entanglement and prepared to return to defense.
But it was too late, Cheng Chumo had already scored the ball into the goal.
"Boom!" The drum sounded, and the scorekeeper on Lin Xuan's side raised a yellow flag, representing a point for Lin Xuan and others to win.
Next, although the scene is different, the reception is the same.
Although Lin Xuan and the others were not as experienced as them, they had martial arts skills, which completely made up for the gap in technology.
In addition, their horses are much stronger than the opponent, and the opponent is not their opponent at all.
In the end, when Lin Xuan's side got ten points, the other side didn't get a single point, which also indicated that Lin Xuan and the others won the polo match completely.
