Chapter 65 Polo Battle
"Okay, I just made an agreement, it's our turn to play in the next game!" Liu Sandao ran over excitedly and interrupted the conversation of several people.
"Then our opponents are Lu Renjian and the others?" Xiao Fan asked: "Haven't they already played several games in a row? Are they still not taking a break?"
"Of course it's them! I have a problem with them, so naturally we all want to win against each other." Suddenly Liu Sandao said mysteriously: "Do you know what the prize of the next game is?"
"Oh? What's so good about your mysterious look?" Xiao Fan cheered.
"They are a pair of sisters' jasper hairpins. When the time comes, we will win the prize. Sister Pan'er and I will get one each!"
"You call me master, but you call me sister Pan'er. Doesn't this mess up the hierarchy?" Xiao Fan joked.
"Humph, then my officer still calls you eldest brother! So what do you mean?" Liu Sandao expressed dissatisfaction.
When Zhao Pan'er saw this, he also helped: "That's right, let's just ignore him and let's do our own thing."
Looking at Zhao Pan'er who took Liu Sandao to prepare for the game after saying that, Xiao Fan looked at the people around him and smiled: "Hey, could I have said something wrong again?"
"Brother, don't worry about this. The next game is about to start. Let's get ready." He Zhenwei took Xiao Fan to the place where he and others stored the horses.
The polo field run by Mrs. Qian is located between Qiantang and Hangzhou City, surrounded by mountains and rivers. Usually the people who come here are either rich or noble.
As a polo ground, it naturally has many good horses.
But Xiao Fan and others have their own horses. In order to ensure victory, unless the horses behind are injured or exhausted, they must use their own horses to show their strength better.
After all, horses are not machines. Only when the rider and the horse are familiar with each other can they cooperate more closely.
Xiao Fan and the four of them put on protective gear with the help of the polo ground attendants, took their horses and came to the sidelines to wait.
About half a quarter of an hour later, the referee informed the two teams to take the field.
As soon as the two teams came on the field, it could only be said that enemies were extremely jealous when they met.
"I thought only Liu Sandao, an annoying Hedong lion, was here, but I didn't expect Mr. Xiao to be here too. It's really a narrow road for enemies!"
Seeing Lu Renjian gnashing his teeth, the outspoken Liu Sandao also mercilessly retorted: "I didn't expect that I just wanted to accompany my friends to relax while taking a break, but I would have such an unlucky chance to meet you bitch.
People like Renlu."
"What did you say?" Lu Renjian became angry when his nickname was called out in public: "Liu Sandao, don't be proud, we will see the truth on the court."
Not only was Lu Renjian beaten by Xiao Fan, but he was also taught a lesson by his father. After that, he realized that Xiao Fan was the son of Right Minister Xiao Qinyan and that he could not afford to mess with him.
So at first I couldn't help but got angry, and then I only dared to yell at Liu Sandao.
"Then let's just wait and see." Liu Sandao mocked, "Don't cry if you lose later."
At this time, the referee interrupted the argument between the two parties.
"Please get your troops on both sides in position!"
After hearing the referee's call, people on both sides began to take their positions.
Xiao Fan was accompanied by two couples, two men and two women, while Lu Renjian and Zheng Xiaoren were leading two powerful guards.
Xiao Fan just saw it and found that the level of these two guards was much higher than that of his two young masters.
While he was in position, Zheng Xiaoren rode up to Lu Renjian and whispered: "The other party actually has two women, they really don't take us seriously! By the way, what is the origin of Mr. Xiao?
?”
"The man named Xiao is the second son of Xiao Qinyan. I only know that his martial arts skills are very good," Lu Renjian said with some fear: "I was beaten by him when I wanted to take down Wangyue Tower a few days ago."
"Xiao Qinyan's son?" Zheng Xiaoren was also a little surprised: "Such a big background? But don't worry, your father and I are both from the Qingliu school. As long as we don't give him any clues, we don't have to be afraid of him."
"No matter, let's play ball first. I still don't believe it. He brought two prostitutes and a thin-looking scholar. Doesn't he want to beat us?" Lu Renjian said with some dissatisfaction.
Under the guidance of the referee, the two teams came to the midfield and divided into two rows to stand opposite each other.
The rules of polo are actually very simple. There is a goal at each end of the court which is about 200 paces long and 120 paces wide.
Both sides compete and score one point if the ball is shot into the opponent's goal.
During a normal scramble, you are not allowed to cross the dribbling path in front of the offensive player to interfere with the attack or knock him off the dribbling path.
However, on the premise that the offensive player is not blocked, side-by-side blocking or interference with the club is allowed.
Collisions between the shoulders and hips of both horses are allowed, but players are not allowed to intentionally collide or hit the opponent or his horse with a club.
When the referee on the sidelines saw that the two teams were ready, he shouted: "A new start, this game's lucky sister is a pair of jasper hairpins. The string is incense, and the game is over when the incense is gone!"
After the referee lit a stick of incense, with the sound of a gong, a polo flew from the referee's hand to the middle of the two teams.
Xiao Fan looked at the polo thrown into the sky by the referee, and immediately urged Ta Xue on his crotch to run towards the polo.
When he comes to the bottom of the polo, he jumps up directly, whips the polo towards the opponent's goal with one stroke, and then lands steadily on Tuxue's back.
"Okay! Awesome! Who is this person? Why haven't I seen him before?"
"Guanren, you are so amazing, so great!" This was Jia Quan's voice.
Following Xiao Fan's wonderful volley to grab the ball, the audience on the sidelines burst into cheers and applause.
Immediately afterwards, there was another burst of exclamation from around the stadium, and a red horse carrying Zhao Pan'er, dressed in bright red, flew like a ball of red flame towards the polo that was knocked away by Xiao Fan.
Although Zhao Pan'er has never played polo before, she is good at riding and is proficient in Cuju.
So at the beginning of the game, under Xiao Fan's signal, he ran towards the opponent's goal. After the ball landed, Zhao Pan'er controlled the horse and dribbled the ball forward, and sent the ball steadily into the opponent's goal before Lu Renjian and others could catch up.
"Team Liu, one step ahead!"
The referee on the sidelines made an announcement on the spot after seeing the goal.
The game continued and the ball was given to Lu Renjian's side.
Lu Renjian was responsible for kicking off the ball, and the ball was given to Zheng Xiaoren.
As soon as Zheng Xiaoren received the ball, he saw He Zhenwei approaching and trying to pass the ball to the two defensive teammates in front.
As a result, the ball was not passed well and was intercepted in mid-air by Xiao Fan who came in diagonally.
"Three swords, then." Xiao Fan picked up the ball and passed it directly to Liu Sandao who was just past half-time.
Seeing this, Lu Renjian rode forward and tried to press him, but he never thought that Liu Sandao was very skilled in polo.
He directly caught the ball in the air and lifted the ball over the forward Lu Renjian. When he turned around and was ready to continue chasing, he realized that it was already too late.
Liu Sandao passed Lu Renjian, took the ball and galloped all the way, and accurately sent the ball directly into the goal more than ten steps away.
"Team Liu, one more victory!"
The ball returned to Lu Renjian's hands, but the score of 2-0 made them look unhappy.
Although Lu Renjian, Zheng Xiaoren and others want to catch up with the score, the result of the game will not be changed by human will.
The polo skills of the four opponents were obviously not as good as Xiao Fan and others. Even Zhao Pan'er, who had just started playing, was able to play well with his opponents with his intelligence.
Facing Xiao Fan's strong defense, Lu Renjian and others frequently lost the ball.
With half an inch left on the line, Xiao Fan intercepted another pass from the opponent and directly crossed the midfield.
Dribble all the way to the opponent's quarter court, which is about fifty steps away from the goal, and directly lift the ball into the air.
Then he jumped up from the horse and volleyed the polo directly into the goal over a distance of more than fifty steps.
Xiao Fan, who was lying on the horse, pulled the reins and stood up straight with his front hooves in the snow.
