The next morning, the Guards were still going through various boring trainings. All the soldiers cursed in their hearts, but there was nothing they could do. They couldn't mutiny because of the dissatisfaction in their hearts, so they had to grit their teeth and continue training.
There was a slight change in the afternoon. The rest was canceled in the army. The generals of each battalion and each team selected twenty soldiers with the best training recently. All these people were taken away. The remaining soldiers were told that these people would be Some special training was carried out, and these people did not have to participate in the military training at night. The remaining soldiers were in an uproar and were filled with envy.
At the same time, a construction team came outside the Guards barracks. They started construction work next to the barracks and built a large amount of scaffolding. It seemed that they were going to build a circular, roofless stand, and the area they occupied was really small. Small.
That night, all the soldiers returned to their respective barracks, sweating all over, and found that the soldiers who had been selected in the afternoon had also returned. Those people's faces were flushed, and their eyes were filled with a fascinating light. They seemed to be trapped. After washing in the water, he felt energetic. If it weren't for the scars on those people's bodies, everyone would have thought that those people had gone to the Red Mansion or something.
Kang Xian took one of the familiar soldiers and asked, "Old Sun, what good thing can you do to make you look like this?"
The man shook his head like a drum, and his attitude was very firm: "You can't say it!"
"Tch, what's so stinky, I don't want to know yet!" Although Kang Xian said he didn't want to know, he couldn't help but think in his heart, what on earth did these grandsons do? Looking at the beaming faces of each of them, they must have gone there. He did something very interesting. Ask someone else.
After changing one person, the result was the same.
The situation was still the same on the second day. On the third day, someone was carried back. The person's face was full of frustration. The injury was not serious. It seemed that he had twisted his waist. Someone came in as a substitute. The situation was roughly the same. Day by day, it passed like this. , "rumors" have spread in the military camp, and there are all kinds of things.
"They must have gone to visit the brothel!"
"Go to hell! Did your family get black and blue from visiting brothels?"
¡°They must have gone gambling?!¡±
"Go to hell! Did your family get black and blue from gambling?"
""
"They must have gone to fight!"
"Go to hell, your family is so excited about fighting?"
"Could it be that the sergeants took them out and gave them a beating? Forget it I didn't tell you"
There were various speculations in the army, but they were quickly rejected by everyone. After guessing and guessing, everyone still came to the conclusion that they must have gone out to play! But what exactly was being played? Everyone thought hard and couldn't figure it out. What could the soldiers do? Gambling or finding women, it's nothing more than these two things, what else can it be?
What makes everyone confused the most is why those people have so many injuries, but what is even more strange is that those people who have injuries are very happy.
Kang Xian is taking a day off today. For more than ten days, he has been tormented by the question in his mind. He cannot sleep well, eat well, and cannot get up the energy to do anything. He has been thinking in his mind, what on earth did they do? Early in the morning, Kang Xian left the camp early. He found a handlebar outside the barracks and spent a hundred bucks to hire him for a day. Then he hid in the car and waited patiently. If you don't believe me, I can't find out what you are doing. go!
After noon, those people left the military camp as scheduled. Kang Xian asked the handlebar to follow him, and hid in the car thinking about various possibilities. The carriage followed leisurely, and after walking for about half an hour, the handlebar knocked on the Car frame: "Master Jun, I don't dare to follow you anymore."
"Why?" Kang Xian rubbed his eyes and asked after taking a breath.
¡°Master Jun, look!¡±
Kang Xian looked out the car window and took a breath of cold air. Forbidden City? ! "They entered the Forbidden City?" Although he was very curious, he didn't dare to break into such a place even if he had ten courages, so he had no choice but to lower his head and walk back to the military camp dejectedly.
¡°While everyone was speculating on this matter, the stands outside the military camp were also constructed unknowingly.
Kang Xian had not slept well these days, and was thinking of taking advantage of the afternoon to catch up on his sleep. Not long after he fell asleep, he was awakened by a burst of noisy cheers. He opened his eyes and was about to curse, but Shockingly, he found that there was no one in the barracks except for himself. He hurriedly put on his clothes and ran out. The situation in the barracks was similar. It was quite empty. The sound of cheers and applause kept coming from outside the barracks. He hurriedly walked towards the barracks again. I ran outside, and sure enough everyone was there, lining up to enter the newly built circular grandstand.
When Kang Xian walked into the circular stand,??, it was already full of people, as many as 10,000 or 20,000 people. Although there were a large number of people, the entire circular stand was silent. Everyone was looking at the center of the venue attentively. Even Kang Xian was also attracted by the intense excitement inside. Confrontation attracts.
In the center of the field, there are two distinct teams, one is cyan, the other is red, each with fifteen people. The members of both teams are wearing calf-nose shorts of their own colors on their lower bodies, with armor tied to their calves, and their upper bodies are actually wearing something like The armor was as hard as an iron can, and he even wore a weird round helmet on his head, enclosing his entire head in it.
The two sides use the center of the field as the dividing line. One side attacks and the other defends. At this time, red attacks and cyan defends. I saw a person in the red team running back and forth with the ball, shouting loudly and saying some unknown code words in the team. As if determining the direction and tactics of the attack, there is also a person on the cyan side making corresponding arrangements and deployments.
Suddenly a whistle sounded, and the players on both sides shouted "Ha!" in unison. The players on the attacking side quickly huddled together, holding their arms with each other, protecting the player who got the ball from front to back, and rushing forward like a meat ball. Go, the defensive side did not show weakness, with the most powerful person as the forward, the entire team rushed towards the ball in an arrow-shaped shape.
The two sides collided with each other. The soldiers sitting in the stands frowned, their hearts trembled, and they couldn't help but say, "Oh, it's like they were hit."
The meat ball hit the front arrow, and the people on the outer layer suddenly fell over. The front arrow penetrated the meat ball very deep and could not advance. Someone in the meat ball shouted "Hey! Hey!", and the front arrow Yazori suppressed it so much that his face turned red, he pushed his feet hard on the ground and pressed hard with his shoulders. . .
The soldiers in the stands became silent again after uttering an ooh. Countless people stared wide-eyed and clenched their fists tightly. Some of them were helping the meat ball to strengthen in their hearts, and some were helping the front arrow to withstand it in their hearts. All the army generals I was so mesmerized by the sight that I didn't even realize I was not in the venue. . .
Amidst the sounds of "Hi Yo", the meat ball pushed towards the bottom line bit by bit with the arrow. Finally, someone in the meat ball yelled "Hey Yo" in a dragging voice. The meat balls exerted their strength together, and the arrow suddenly collapsed. , scattered on the ground, the fallen Fengya quickly got up and rushed towards the meat ball without hesitation. At this time, the players without the ball also spread out to block Fengya, while the player with the ball ran desperately towards the baseline. Go and cleverly dodge several remaining members of the Youth Team. . . Finally the whistle sounded and the bottom was scored!
There were loud cheers in the stands. Everyone was applauding the red team¡¯s crazy attack just now, and they were all talking about how strong the red team¡¯s scorers were. . . I don't know how many people were standing in the stands at this moment, raising their arms and cheering to that person. The players on the court were all elated at this time, holding their chests high and grinning widely. The teammates around him gathered around him and threw him into the air together, cheering loudly. The faces of the members of the youth team were as ugly as their uniforms, and a few of them were sitting on the ground beating their chests and feet, as if they were extremely unwilling to lose.
"Get ready for substitutions! The game will start soon!" someone shouted.
Kang Xian was blushing when he saw this game in the stands. He wished he could get off the field and make gestures. Kang Xian grabbed the person next to him and said, "How is it? How is it? Who won?"
"Of course the red team won. The green team's attack just now was blocked by the red team."
"Oh, where does this thing come from?"
"It seems to be called General Ball!"
"General ball? Why is it called a general ball?"
The man shrugged his shoulders, indicating that he was not sure.
Huh? Kang Xian looked at the man wearing a yellow short coat and holding a wooden whistle in the center of the field. Isn't this the little brother who gave him peaches a while ago? Asking him, Kang Xian quickly ran to the center of the field and patted the man on the shoulder, "Little brother, it's you!"
Li Dong looked back, raised his eyebrows, and smiled, "It turns out to be Brother Kang!"
"Are you a referee here?"
"That's right!" Li Dong smiled and nodded. This was the sport he came up with to relieve the stress of soldiers, which was later called rugby. A purely men's sport, Li Dong couldn't remember the specific rules of rugby, but fortunately no one in the Ming Dynasty had ever seen rugby, so Li Dong made a simplified version of rugby based on his imagination. The field is one long. 100 meters, first throw a coin to decide who kicks off first. The team holding the ball attacks and the other team defends. Both sides start from the center line of the field. As long as one person from the defensive team touches the player holding the ball, the two sides switch roles and start from the center line. The number of points is limited, whoever scores first wins. If neither score is scored, both sides will make a draw.
"Why is this thing called General Ball?"
Li Dong¡¯s answer was drowned out by the flood of shouts from the stands.
¡°Brother, work harder, don¡¯t lose to them!¡±
¡°We can¡¯t lose to the Tatars no matter what!¡±
"Don't embarrass our ancestors"
Kang Xian didn¡¯t hear clearly what Li Dong said, but he was curious about what happened in the field. When he looked back, it turned out that the bald soldiers from the Guards were coming off the field. They were wearing green, and those who faced them were wearing white. The Bald Army are all Mongolians, so why are they shouting like that?
The tactics adopted by the Bald Army are extremely simple and effective. They also huddle up and charge straight into the enemy like a tank. As soon as the ball came out, the people on their side gathered together and rushed forward, and the other side had no choice but to gather together and resist. However, it is obvious that this hedging tactic is more suitable for short but extremely strong players. The Mongols, the Bald Army scored a smooth touchdown.
There was a very ungraceful booing in the stands, and the white team ended the game dejectedly.
Kang Xian stomped his feet in hatred at the edge of the field, "Just defeated like this? Just defeated like this? It's really"
"Commander, this thing is fun, but whoever is stronger will take advantage!" Zhao Dongxu was also a little angry. Obviously he didn't want to see the Mongolian bald army crush them.
"Do you really think so? Let me tell you, the gameplay of this general ball is the same as marching. You see, this square field is like a battlefield. The two sides are fighting here. Although the participants are brave, they also need to be strategic. Only when the flag captures the commander can victory be achieved.¡±
"Commander, are you hiding some tricks? Please teach us. We can't just let the skinheads be proud of them, right?"
"HahaOkay, go and call Qianxing and Dewey, let's form a team!"
"Commander, do you have a physique like ours?" Zhao Dongxu said with a bitter face, "Commander, you don't know how big Huhe Bari is. His arms are almost as thick as my waist."
¡°What¡¯s the matter, you still don¡¯t believe me, do you?¡±
"I don't dare" Zhao Dongxu smiled and ran to call someone.
Kang Xian had been standing nearby, with his mouth wide open, looking at Li Dong blankly.
Li Dong showed his six small white teeth at him, "Do you know why this is called General Ball?"
Kang Xian shook his head numbly.
"A soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier. The reason why I named this ball the General Ball is because I hope that all of you soldiers will cherish a dream and dream that one day you will eventually become a general commanding thousands of troops!"
At this time, Zhao Dongxu had already handed over everyone. Li Dong nodded at Kang Xian, and then began to explain to Zhao Dongxu and others one by one
The game restarted in the center of the field, this time it was the Generals team versus the Bald Army.
This game is even more attractive because . . "I heard that the general team will be led by Long Live Lord himself"
"Really? But look at the size of the bald army, one of them can almost catch up with two of the generals. Is it okay?"
"It's it's hard to say, it's hard to say." Although the soldiers in the stands hope that the general team will win, but . . After all, the strength of the two sides is too far apart.
The coin was thrown away high and fell, and the Bald Army kicked off first.
There was a sigh in the stands. If the Generals kicked off first, there might be a glimmer of hope, but the Bald Army kicked off first. . . Why. . . Just wait to lose.
As soon as the whistle blew, the Bald Army still adopted the old method, huddled up and rushed directly to the bottom line. . .
The generals did not huddle together to attack as before, but dispersed into groups of several people. They worked together to swing people into the center of the Bald Army's tank. The tank formed by the Bald Army could be said to be an iron wall, but how could this tank But there was no air defense, and because more than a dozen people were moving together, it was difficult to make evasive moves. The general who was thrown in within a few moments touched the player holding the ball.
Ah, there were cheers from the stands, maybe we can win. . . The soldiers felt sweat on their palms and prayed in their hearts.
The two sides started again, this time the generals attacked and the bald troops defended.
The posture was opened, and the Bald Army side were all stunned. Li Dong arranged the formation very widely. He took the ball in his hand, and only four people were arranged to protect him on the left and right, and the rest were in a line on his right. Get out of the way. A whistle blew, the ball was kicked out, and the Bald Army shouted in unison. More than a dozen people still hugged each other and rushed towards Li Dong who was holding the ball. The four people who were arranged to protect Li Dong were simply unbearable. Li Dong was not in a hurry and waited for the opponent to get close before throwing the ball to his own player on the right. As soon as Li Dong shot the ball, the tank formed by the Bald Army quickly turned around and pounced on the other person holding the ball. Li Dong had already agreed in advance, and the person holding the ball did not hesitate and immediately passed the ball to the right. Four.After five sharp turns, the tank couldn't move at all. They squatted on the ground panting and panting. Zhao Dongxu was the last player on Li Dong's side to receive the ball. He couldn't feel any pressure at all and walked along the edge easily. The line ran to the opponent's baseline to score a touchdown.
The whole audience was silent. Isn¡¯t it too easy to win? The two sides didn¡¯t make any contact at all, just passed a few passes and scored? Immediately afterwards, the stands burst into amazing cheers of "Long live! Long live!"
Kang Xian stared blankly at the center of the field, muttering to himself, "A soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier!"
In the next few days, several competitive games began to be promoted in the military, such as football and baseball. . .
Not to mention football, it was called Cuju in ancient times, and its gameplay has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Li Dong just removed its performance function and changed it into a fierce confrontation. Now it is even more popular among soldiers. The military camp is meant to show wildness. and a place of strength. Baseball is said to be a game of cavalry, because when you swing a bat to hit the ball, you need to use certain parts of the bat to hit the ball flying at high speed in an instant, so that the ball can fly farther. This special hitting area on the bat is called "sweet." district".
If the bat is compared to a saber, the "sweet spot" is the most advantageous part of the saber to damage the enemy. Practicing using the "sweet spot" to hit flying balls is like the skill of a cavalryman riding a horse to kill an infantryman. Same.
Through a series of games, Li Dong not only released the pent-up resentment in the hearts of the soldiers, but also allowed them to increase their team spirit of cooperation and some conceptual changes through the games. One day in the future, Kang Xian will become An excellent example.
