Although Polo was prosperous in the Tang Dynasty, it was still very rough from the perspective of Li forgetting to worry about future generations.
It doesn't mean technology. In his opinion, both equestrian and hitting skills, including dandies, have been perfect. That's a personal technology that stuntmen can't show in later films.
However, Tang's batters mostly use cavalry when playing polo. Ten batters, except one guard outside the door, the remaining nine are cavalry triangle charge formation. They work together in groups of three.
There is no distinction between forwards, midfielders and defenders.
As a result, the originally spacious polo field has not been effectively used. In Li's eyes, the excitement is wonderful and lively, but there are no skills and tactics in it.
He was used to playing live football games in later generations. He was familiar with football tactics such as 343 and 442.
Why can't Polo be the same?
Chumo and others were having a good time. They were stopped and the game was depressed: "Ziyou, what's the matter? Why whistle?"
Li forgot to worry and asked someone to get him a pen and paper. While writing and drawing on it, he replied, "don't worry, brothers. I have some ideas. I'll discuss it with you."
"Ziyu, do you still know the ball tactics?"
"Hey, hey, you'll see when I draw it for you."
Li Qieyou drew the schematic diagram of the polo field on the paper, picked up a handful of stones from the ground and put two stones on it: "brothers, please look, these two stones represent two batters."
He pointed to Niu Zhengping and Chumo: "brother Zhengping and Chumo have good skills and can be specially responsible for the attack. They are the first line of the team's attack. They mainly swim in this area. I call them forwards."
He drew an area in front of the horse stadium with a pen: "brother Zhengping and Chumo are in this area, waiting for the opportunity and killing with one blow!"
Niu Zhengping and Chumo look at each other and laugh: "good forward, I'm the vanguard officer. I'll make trouble with the Yellow Dragon. I see. Ziyou go on."
Li Qieyou nodded, took out three stones and put them on the paper.
"These three stones represent brother weichi and brother Yiai. The three of you are the Chinese army, which I call the midfield. They are mainly active in the middle of the stadium and are responsible for contacting the forwards and defenders. They can attack and defend!"
Fang Yiai and weichi twins also nodded excitedly: "I see, Ziyou are arranging troops!"
With a smile, Li forgot to worry and put the last three stones on the paper: "brother Lingwu, brother Shuyu, brother Chuliang and brother Chubi, you four are the rear army on the field. I call you the guard, who is mainly responsible for defending and intercepting each other's attack."
The four also nodded and were excited. Looking at the nine stones placed on the paper by Li forgetful, they had a feeling of battle on the battlefield.
Qiu Kun suddenly said, "Ziyou, what are you doing?"
"I? Guard the door." Li forgets worry and naturally replies, "don't you expect me to attack?"
Everyone was stunned at the speech, and then they all laughed.
Out of the their absolute trust in Li, dandies did not raise objections, but listened to Li's explanation with the great interest.
Li Qieyou picked up his pen again and explained to the dandies for a long time how to run and attack around each position, open the width of the field, dispatch the players with the ball.
Dandies are quite smart. After Li forgets to worry about some explanations, they all roughly understand their responsibilities and running route on the court.
"Ha ha, Ziyou, your formation is interesting. Let's try it on?" Chumo can't wait.
Li forgot to worry and nodded. As he was getting ready to mount the horse, he suddenly remembered something. He called a soldier of the forbidden army and asked him to send him a helmet.
People don't understand, and Li forgets to explain. Nima, these barbarians, it's too much to take no protective gear in such a dangerous sport.
I am so delicate and tender that I dare not learn from them.
If Tang Jun's armor were not too heavy, Li forgets worry and wants to go to battle in full arms to play polo.
After wearing his helmet and tightening his bandage, Li forgets to worry carefully and climbs onto the horse's back to get ready to play.
The training game began again, and the hitters of Zuo Jinwu Wei rode carelessly onto the court. In the view of these veterans, playing polo with Li Qieyou and others is just playing games with them.
Although the dandies have good skills, they can't compare with these old soldiers. With the cooperation of the three batters, it is difficult for the dandies to compete.
This is the cooperation of cavalry in the army, and it is the same when cavalry impact on the battlefield. The seemingly overwhelming cavalry formation is actually three cavalry fighting with each other.
One person is responsible for the attack and the other two are responsible for protecting the left and right wings, which is similar to the three-thirds infantry tactics invented by the later people's Liberation Army.
Three people form a combat team to attack or assist in defense in a triangle. This tactic has both attack and defense and a clear division of labor, which can maximize the combat effectiveness of cavalry.
But this kind of tactics is very brave when used on the battlefield, but it may not be appropriate when used on the field.
Too concentrated players leave too much space for the other side to use.
Originally, everyone was like this when playing polo in the Tang Dynasty. It doesn't matter. It's the so-called dish chicken pecking at each other.
But Li forgot his worries and shamelessly copied the football tactics of later generations. The original Polo tactics immediately became outdated.
When the dandies rode on horses and tried to stand as Li forgetful told them, they also caused a burst of laughter from the forbidden army on the side of the field.
Although he was only training with the dandies, the Polo court still attracted many forbidden soldiers of Zuo Jinwu Wei, including many generals of the army, to join the fun.
Seeing the dandies' sparse horse riding position, the people couldn't help laughing.
"What are you playing with? Why don't you gather in battle? If you fight alone, you can't be tortured to death?"
"Hei hei, I'm afraid the little male is playing with some moths. Let's see. Such an array can never stop the attack."
"Are you ready to surrender?"
"I bet little grandpa that if they play in this formation, they will lose at least five goals. Does anyone bet with me?"
"Go away, who's crazy to bet on this with you."
At the corner of the court, Cheng Yaojin was also surrounded by a group of Zuo Jinwu Wei's generals, and the bystanders trained with dandies. Seeing such a situation on the field, a group of generals couldn't help talking.
"General, young master, which one are they playing? Such nonsense can't win the Changping County Government's baseball team."
"I'm afraid it's the idea of the Huxian man. Just now I saw that he called the young childe over. That's how it looked."
"It's the first time someone has seen someone standing like this to hit the ball. Ha ha, it's really an eye opener. This Huxian man really has an idea."
Cheng Yaojin waved his whip: "zhiniang thieves, these bastards, today I will lose face in front of the army sergeants, and I will beat them to death!"
Before Cheng Yaojin gets angry, the referee's soldier blows a copper whistle in his mouth, and the game begins
