The team's training time was not long. With the help of Ktipps, Alsinis quickly integrated into the team.

Then the team was merged into the company and further queue training. Alcidis and the others began to become familiar with more complex tactical commands and banners: what rhythm of drums was at what speed? What kind of bugle sound was moving forward? What kind of bugle sound was retreat? What kind of bugle sound was charging?

Also, under different drum sounds and military trumpets, they also watch the direction of the team flag. The team flag points forward in a certain direction, is moving in that direction, quickly or charge; the team flag goes backward in a certain direction, retreat slowly or retreat; the team flag keeps drawing circles to indicate that it stops moving forward, rest, be alert or prepare... They also need to learn to quickly turn columns into horizontal lines, combine dense square formations, and then quickly split into columns from the square formations and move quickly; there are also some complex tactical actions, such as the second, third team mid-lane defense, the first, and fourth teams assault on both wings...

Next, we entered the team's joint training. At this time, there were no more complicated tactical instructions, and more of the transformation of formations. For example, the fish scale array (Davs' name is actually the Roman chessboard array) quickly turned into a closely connected large square array as we marched, and the large square array returned to the fish scale array; the front row retreated and the back row topped to form a new large square array; and the square array rotated left and right while keeping the array tight, etc.

Finally, the entire army was a joint training. Not only did the array conversion in front, but it also increased the coordination with other brigades and troops. For example: when advancing, the light infantry brigade in the rear quickly passed through the gap of the fish scale formation, rushed to the front of the array, forming a scattered line, making throwing and shooting actions, and then quickly retreated from the gap of the array to the rear, and the fish scale formation quickly merged into a large square formation; when the sharp military horn sounded rapidly, this was required to attack the cavalry on both wings (although there are only a dozen cavalry now, Davers still specially prepared tactical space for them). The light shield soldiers in the light infantry brigade (i.e. the Seventh Battalion) who had retreated to the back of the quartet quickly turned behind the cavalry. When the cavalry attacked with spears, they held wooden shields and long-handled reverse blades, followed closely with loose arrays, while the heavy infantry quartet slowly pressed up...

Alsinis had never seen many novel offensive and defense methods, which opened his eyes and was also having a headache for changing flags and commands. However, the constant reminder of the team leader Kedips and his comrades made Alsinis not make big mistakes, and the same was true for other recruits. Gradually, they could keep up with the pace of training.

………………………………………

When the training ended, it was still early because it was already May and it was dark late.

At this time, consul Davers walked onto the temporary podium.

The tired soldiers began to get excited.

Davers said straight to the point: "Brothers, what are we going to do next?!"

"football!!!"

"After the last exercise, are you familiar with all the rules?"

"Familiar!!!"

"Get started!!!"

"Then it's the same as last time. We will set up four venues first, and we will still be the first team of the first team of the first team of the first team of the first team of the seventh team of the first team of the second team of the first team of the first team of the second team of the first team of the first team of the third team of the first team of the first team of the first team of the third team of the first team of the first team of the first team of the first team of the third team of the first team of the first team of the first team of the first team of the first team of the third team of the first team of the first team of the first team of the first team of the first team of the third team of the first team of the first team of the first team of the first team of the first team of the first team of the first team of the first team of the first team of the first team of " "The first team of the first team of the first team of the first team of the first team of the first team of the first team of the first team of the first team of the first team of the first team of " "

While the soldiers were waiting for the consul to say the four words "start preparation", Davers continued: "Now I announce a new rule that the participating teams must join five Lucanian slaves."

The soldiers were in an uproar.

Capps, Dracos, Hironimus, etc. have received notice from Davers in advance, knowing that this is the effort made by the consul to try to integrate the Lucanians.

No one dared to refuse Davers' orders, so Bagule and forty Lucanian slaves were taken to the training ground.

Originally, Bagule and the others were polishing the stones, but Alexis suddenly gathered them together, and then pointed out the forty people led by Bagule, saying: They are the forty people who perform best among the slaves of labor today. As a reward, they will be allowed to play rugby games with the civilians of Amendora.

Because most of the Lukari people did not understand Greek, they were translated by Bagule. The slaves were restless and worried that this was a Greek conspiracy and wanted to be unfavorable to these forty people.

Alexis swears to God: Before dark, let them come back!

Then Bagull and the others were taken to the training camp uneasily and stood in front of the Greek soldiers.

When most of the soldiers were at a loss for a moment, Olivers, the captain of the first team of the first company of the First Brigade, took the lead. He quickly selected Bagule and the other four strong Lucanian slaves. Only then did the others react. In an instant, forty slaves were divided up by the team participating in the first round.

Davers spent a very short time telling them the rules of the game, and of course Bagull was still used as a translator. Then Bagull and the other five were incorporated into Olivers's team.

The football field is a flat grassland with a length of about 100 meters and a width of about 50 meters, with white lines drawn every ten meters. In order to prevent the lime powder from being wiped out during intense movement, resulting in unclear boundaries, wooden poles are inserted at the intersection of white lines on both sides.

According to Davers' requirements, the company captain can only serve as his own coach, and the team captain must serve as the team's quarterback, because the coach must arrange tactics according to the strengths and weaknesses of his own and the opponent, and the quarterback is the core of the team on the court. He must change the tactics in time according to the changes on the court and lead the players to win. Davers wants to train the leadership and command skills of the team officials, because he believes that in modern competition in previous lives, football was a game very similar to the ancient cold weapon combat, and the middle lane match.

The assault on both wings... can not only train the soldiers' strength, speed and agility, but also cultivate the unity and cooperation of the whole team and enhance cohesion. It can also cultivate the company leader. The team leader thinks calmly in the fierce competition and quickly respond correctly. This is very beneficial to the entire army, because the systematic, complex multi-army (temporarily lacks cavalry) combined army created by Davers. If he wants to exert his true power, he depends very much on the abilities of middle and low-level officers.

First, both sides draw lots to determine the order of attack.

Olivers was lucky enough to draw the first attacker, and "coach" Antonios began to arrange tactics for the team: "Bagul, you just came here and are not familiar with this game yet. Watch and learn from the field first."

Bagule nodded: It seems that he is really playing a game.

The soldiers around him all looked serious and also infected these Lucanian slaves.

"You, you, you, you...you get on first, the opponent starts and pay attention to the ball after the kickoff. After receiving the ball, don't hesitate and pass the ball to Olivers immediately. Olivers, pass the ball to the big man, let him run with the ball, try the opponent's strength, and others pay attention to blocking the opponent's opponent!..." Antonios arranged tactics against the players on the field.

At this time, the sound of the flute sounded, and the referee Drax urged the players on both sides to play. According to regulations, the captain of the brigade was the referee, with a total of four referees. Since the captain of the 7th brigade Epigenis also served as the captain of the first company, the captain of the cavalry, Rides, was the captain of the cavalry.

The soldiers took off their helmets, shin, knives and other metal clothing, and only wore linen breastplate to prevent injuries. At the same time, both sides wrapped the prepared linen strips dyed red and blue, tightly tied them to the upper body to distinguish the two teams. One team member plus five slaves, a total of 55 people, and only eleven people were required to play at a time. However, football is a very physically intensive sport, but the soldiers were already a little tired because of training and had to rely on continuous substitutions to maintain their combat effectiveness.

Dracos gave the order and the game began.

The hourglass also started timing.

Epitensis kicked the ball towards the opponent's half and rushed towards the opponent immediately.

Antonios discovered that the opponent actually sent five slaves at the beginning: Could it be that the slaves were more physically strong than the soldiers to block their attack? Antonios decided to check the game first and then make adjustments.

A soldier jumped up and as soon as he received the ball, the opponent rushed to the front.

Although she is also wearing a linen breastplate, she looks like a Lukari.

The soldier holding the ball was stunned. The distraction was immediately captured by the opponent. Fortunately, he fell to the ground in time to press the ball under him.

The players from Antonios made a sigh of regret, while the other party cheered loudly. Several players excitedly stepped forward and slapped the Lucanian to express their encouragement.

One offensive opportunity is wasted like this. According to the rules set by Davers, the offensive party has three chances. During this period, it is necessary to advance the opponent's distance of a wooden pole (about ten meters) in the half, and then get three offensive opportunities after advancement, otherwise the opponent should attack.

Olivers was not in a hurry, he joked: "Shenotimas, did you exercise too many times last night with your wife, so your hands and feet were weak and you couldn't even pass a ball?!"

The team members laughed.

"Okay, brothers, this attack must let them see how powerful the strongest squad in the entire army!" (According to Davers's provisions in the Military Law, the "one" in the army's number is not just a number, but also a reflection of ability and honor. The first squad is the most powerful squad in the entire army. And so on, the first squad of the first squad is not only the strongest in the squad of the squad, but also the strongest among all the squads in the entire army)

The soldiers yelled and cheered up.

Both sides set up the line on the marking line where the ball was stopped just now, with the corners of the middle lane facing each other, and on both sides, one side is ready to catch the ball and sprint at any time, and the other side is ready to block it at any time.

The sound of the flute sounded.
Chapter completed!
