v3 Chapter 27： Rugby game

The training time of the detachment was not long. With the help of Klipps, Arciennes quickly integrated into the detachment.

Then the team is merged into the company to further train the queue. Alcidis will begin to familiarize with more complicated tactical instructions and flags: What speed rhythm drums travel at what speed? What kind of military code is moving forward? What kind of military sound is retreating? What is the sound of the military number?

Also, under different drum sounds and military numbers, I also looked at the direction of the team flag. The team's forward pointing in a certain direction is to travel in that direction, rapid or charge; the flag is backwards in a certain direction, that is, withdrawing, retreating or retreating in that direction; the flag continues to circle to indicate the original stop. They are also required to learn how to quickly change the vertical team, synthesize intensive squares, and then quickly split into a column to move fast; there are also some complicated tactical actions, such as the second and third detachment defense. First and fourth squad

Then I entered the joint training of the brigade. At this time, there were no complicated tactical instructions. More is the transformation of the formation. For example, the fish scales (the name of Davers is actually the checkerboard array of Rome). In the process of travel, it quickly becomes a tightly connected large square, and the large square is restored to a fish scale; the front row is retracted, the rear row is topped, and a new large square is formed; and the square matrix keeps the array tight. , rotate left and right, and so on.

In the end, the whole army has been trained. Not only the previous array conversion, but also the cooperation with other brigades and arms. For example, when moving forward, the rear light infantry brigade quickly passed through the gap of the fish scales, rushed to the front of the array, formed a squad line, made a throwing action, and then quickly retreated from the array gap to the rear, and the fish scales quickly merged into a large Square matrix; when the sharp military screams, this is to ask the two wings of the cavalry to launch an attack (although the current cavalry only has more than a dozen rides, but Davers still specially prepared tactical space for them), before retiring The light shields in the light infantry brigade behind the square (the seventh battalion) quickly turned to the rear of the cavalry. When the cavalry speared, they held wooden shields and long-handled counter-blades to loose arrays. Followed by, and the heavy infantry phalanx is slowly pressed

A lot of novel offensive and defensive methods, Alcini has never seen him, which has opened his eyes and is also a headache for the ever-changing banner command, but the constant reminder of the captain Klipps and his comrades So that Alsinis will not make a big mistake, as do other recruits, and gradually they can keep up with the rhythm of training.

When the training is over, the time is still early, because it is already May, and it is darker in the dark.

At this time, the governor Daves took the imposing podium.

The tired soldiers began to get excited.

Davers opened the door and said, "Brothers, what are we going to do next?!"

"football!!!"

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

"Familiar!!!"

"Get started soon!!!"

"Then, like the last time, the first four venues were set up first. The first team of the first team, the first team, the first team of the seventh team, the first team of the first team, the second team, the first team, the third team, the third team. The first team of the first company has only four hourglasses in one game. The winners are the winners, the losers are eliminated, and the winning teams are ready to enter the next round.

While the soldiers were waiting for the governor to say "starting to prepare", Daves continued: "Now I am announcing a new rule. The participating squad must join five Lucania slaves."

The soldiers were in awe.

Senior team officers such as Capps, Dracos, and Hieronymus have been informed by Davis in advance that this is the effort of the Archon to try to integrate the Lucanias.

Daves’s command was unsuccessful, and so forty Lucanian slaves, such as Bagul, were taken to the training ground.

Originally, Bagul, they were polishing the stone. Alexis suddenly brought them together, and then pointed out the forty people headed by Bagul, saying: They are the best performers among the slaves of today’s labor. The reward will allow them to play rugby games with the citizens of Amendola.

Because most of the Lukalians do not understand Greek, it is the translation of Bagul. The slaves were restless and worried that this was a conspiracy of the Greeks and they wanted to be unfavorable to the forty people.

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

Bagul, they were taken to the training camp and stood in front of the Greek soldiers.

When most of the soldiers were equally overwhelmed, the first team of the first team, the first team detachment Oliver, took the lead, and he quickly picked Bakuule and the other four strong Lucanias. Slave, other people reacted, and in the blink of an eye, forty slaves were divided up by the first round of the team.

Davers told them about the rules of the game in a short time, and of course Bachule did the translation. Then Bachule, who seemed to understand and understand, was incorporated into Oliver's squad.

The football field is a flat grassland with a length of about 100 meters and a width of about 50 meters. It is lined with white lines every ten meters. To prevent the lime powder from being erased during intense sports, the border is not Clear, so on the white line intersections on both sides, there are rafts.

According to Daves' requirements, even the captain can only serve as his own coach, and the team leader must serve as the team's quarterback, because the coach should arrange the tactics according to the strengths and weaknesses of the opponent and the opponent, and the quarterback is the team's core. He has to change the tactics in time according to the changes in the field and lead the players to win. Davers is trying to exercise the leadership ability of the team officers, because he believes that in the modern competition of past life, rugby is a very similar game with the ancient cold weapons. The confrontation of the middle road and the assault of the two wings can not only exercise. The strength, speed, and agility of the soldiers can also foster the unity and cooperation of the team and enhance the cohesiveness. At the same time, they can also train the captains and team leaders to think calmly and make correct responses quickly in the fierce competition. This is very beneficial for the entire army, because this systematic and complicated multi-service (temporarily lacking cavalry) created by Daves is a military force. To be able to exert its true power, it relies heavily on the capabilities of middle and lower-level officers.

The first is the draw by both sides to determine the order of the offense.

Oliver was fortunate enough to get the first attack. "Coach" Antonios began to assign tactics to the team: "Bagule, you just came, you are not familiar with this game, first watch the game under the field."

Bagul nodded: It seems that it is really playing games.

The soldiers around were all serious and infected with these Lucania slaves.

"You, you, you, you first, the other party pays attention to catch the ball after kicking the ball. After receiving the ball, don't hesitate, pass the ball to Oliver. Oliver, you pass the ball to the big man and let him run the ball. , try the strength of the other side, others pay attention to block the opponent for him!" Antonios is arranging tactics for the players.

At this time, the flute sounded and the referee Drax urged both players to play. According to the regulations, the team leader served as the referee, a total of four referees, because the seventh brigade captain Epiphanes also served as the first company company captain, so the captain of the cavalry, Ledes.

The soldiers took off all the metal costumes such as helmets, armor, and knives, and only wore linen breastplates to prevent injuries. At the same time, the two sides separately prepared the red and blue linen strips wrapped around the upper body to distinguish them. Two teams. One team member plus five slaves, a total of 55 people, only 11 players at a time, but football is a very physical exercise, but the soldiers have been exhausted because of training, they must rely on constant substitutions to maintain combat effectiveness.

Dracos gave an order and the game started.

The hourglass also started timing.

Epiphanes kicked the ball to the other half and immediately rushed toward each other.

Antonios found that the other party had sent five slaves in the opening: Is it the use of slaves who are more energetic than the soldiers, obstructing their own offense. Antonios decided to look at the game first and then make adjustments.

A soldier jumped up and just received the ball, and the other party rushed to the front.

Although wearing a linen breastplate, but looking at the appearance is actually Lukaria.

A glimpse of the ball-bearing soldier, this distraction was immediately cuddled by the other side, but fortunately he fell to the ground in time.

The players of the Antonios team made a sorrow, and the other party shouted loudly. Several players excitedly rushed to the Lucanian to encourage.

An offensive opportunity is wasted According to the rules set by Davers, the attacker has three chances to advance the distance of a wooden pole (about 10 meters) in the other half of the game. Get three offensive opportunities, otherwise you should be attacked by the opponent.

Oliver was not in a hurry. He joked and said: "Shenotimas, did you exercise with your wife too many times last night, so your hands and feet are weak and you can't even pass a ball?!"

The players laughed.

"Okay, brothers, this offense must let them see the strength of the strongest team in the army!" (According to Daves's military law, the "one" in the army number is not just a number. And it is the embodiment of ability and honor. The first battalion is the most powerful team in the whole army. By analogy, the first detachment of the first battalion is not only the strongest of the detachments of the battalion, but also the strongest of all the detachments of the whole army.

The soldiers screamed and cheered up.

The two sides listed the line on the code line of the stop ball, and the two sides of the middle road arrived together. On both sides, one side was ready to catch the ball and the party was ready to block.

The flute sounded.
