There are no strange soldiers, and thousands of horses rescue the Central Plains. Talking and laughing are like Hebei, and the heart and soul are worshiped by the Supreme Being.

The lonely clouds followed the murderous intent, and the flying birds avoided the camp gate. The whole day was filled with joy, and the city was not aware of the noise.

…

This two-on-two offensive coordination is quite beautiful, which shows that the Anxi army is well-trained and skilled in coordination. Bai Fu's heart moved, isn't this another application of the Qingcheng Big Dipper Sword Formation on the polo field?

The core essence of the Seven-Star Sword Formation is to determine the conversion of offense and defense through changes in position, and to gather the strength of several people to achieve both offense and defense. When the enemy attacks, those who are disadvantaged on one's own side defend together, and those who are advantageous on one's side take advantage of the weakness to attack. When one's own side attacks

, one's own attackers coordinate the attack, and the others make up for the defensive flaws during the attack.

In this sense, polo is like sword fighting and Go, a game where position determines victory or defeat.

After careful observation, Bai Fu discovered that winning does not depend on the individual polo skills of the riders, nor does it depend on the absolute running speed of the horses. The most important thing is the passing and movement between the riders. In the game,

Each rider has very little time to actually control the ball, and most of the time is spent moving around.

The Seven-Star Sword Formation does not rely on brute force, but requires the use of brains, overall training, and cooperation in both offense and defense. The same is true for polo. Every rider should know what he should do at any time on the field:

First, every rider on the field, whether with or without the ball, must always find a triangular route and prepare for the horse's movement and passing. By passing the ball frequently, he can quickly advance the ball to the opponent's goal. This means

, First, pass the ball more and dribble less. Second, it is very important for the rider to control the horse's movement without the ball. Good opportunities come from running.

Second, ensure numerical superiority in local areas, use more to defeat fewer, use faster to defeat slower.

Third, pass the ball quickly, make quick movements, don’t stick to the ball, don’t show off skills, reduce fancy dribbling, and reduce the expression of personality.

Fourth, always maintain pressure on the opponent. When the ball is lost, you must take the initiative to counterattack. When the opponent holds the ball, you must press hard and do not allow him to pass the ball easily.

Fifth, every rider must make the horse run. The pass should not be passed directly to the horse of his teammate at any time, but should be passed to the front of the horse and let him run over to catch the ball. Only in this way can the rhythm of the game be guaranteed and let the horse run forward.

The polo advances quickly. When the second person catches the ball, the third person should control the horse and run to the next position to wait.

Sixth, each rider must have a regional concept and ensure that the area he can control is large enough by controlling the horse's position, so that riders in nearby areas can pass and cooperate with it.

Seventh, the best position for the receiving rider is to put the opposing defensive rider at the boundary between you and the teammate who wants to pass the ball to you. This situation is very uncomfortable for the defensive rider. Tian

If Chengsi comes to grab the ball from Li Siye, Li Siye will immediately pass the ball to Duan Xiushi; if Tian Chengsi is guarding Duan Xiushi, Li Siye controls the ball and can freely break through!

This is what happened on the court just now: Defensive rider Tian Chengsi rushed towards Li Siye. Li Siye gave the ball to Duan Xiushi, and at the same time he immediately drove his horse to the left. Duan Xiushi received the ball and immediately passed it to Li Siye. A beautiful collision with the wall.

.

It can be seen that the passing area is created by controlling the horse. Even in the face of intensive defense in front of the goal, the attacking side must maximize its area as much as possible, so that teammates can always pass the ball comfortably and the opponent is always faced with a front-end rush.

and the dilemma of marking.

In short, playing polo means focusing on the overall situation, passing the ball more, advancing quickly, and avoiding sticking to the ball and dribbling. Playing polo is very simple, but playing simple polo is difficult.

…

Although Bai Fu missed the opportunity to be selected for the Qingcheng Big Dipper Seven Star Sword Formation, during his exchanges with his master and discussions with his senior brothers, he gained a lot of exposure to the core essence and practical application of the Seven Star Sword Formation. At this moment, through the polo match

Observing carefully, Bai Fu drew parallels. The more he watched the game, the deeper his understanding became, which showed that the paths were connected, and he also understood the painstaking efforts that his master had put into teaching him in the past.

…

With the last half of the game left, the score was tied. Fan Yangjun and Anxijun each scored 14 points.

The competition has entered a fierce state, and the challenges to both horses and riders are great. The physical fitness of both people and horses has reached a critical state.

Fan Yangjun replaced Tian Chengsi and Ashina Chengqing and replaced them with Li Guiren and He Qianqian. Anxi Army replaced Duan Xiushi, Bai Xiaode and Ma Lin and replaced them with Xi Yuanqing, Li Fei Yuanli and He Lou Yurun.

Fan Yangjun's An Shouzhong kicked the ball and threw it to Li Guiren first. Li Guiren rode the ball and took more than ten steps. Anxi Army's Li Feiyuanli and He Lou Yurun attacked Li Guiren on horseback. Li Guiren took the ball.

The ball was passed to Cui Qianyu, and Cui Qianyu used his power to rush through the defensive formation of the Anxi Army. Cui Qianyu hit Feng Changqing with his stick, and Feng Changqing blocked it with his stick. However, Cui Qianyu was so powerful that he sank. After several confrontations, Feng Chang

Clear away soreness in arms and numbness in tiger's mouth.

Cui Qianyu saw that Feng Changqing was exhausted, so he reined in his horse to collide with him, causing Feng Changqing's horse to neigh in pain. Feng Changqing had no choice but to rein in his horse and get out of the fairway.

After Cui Qianyu succeeded, he drove straight in. Li Fei Yuanli came to stop him with a horse. Cui Qianyu shouted angrily: "Get out of the way!" Li Fei Yuanli thought to himself: "Time is running out. I can't let you pass under any circumstances!"

Li Fei Yuanli hooked his stirrup and grabbed the ball. Cui Qianyu lifted his stick and pushed Li Fei Yuanli's stick away. Then he drove his horse to the left and threw away Li Fei Yuanli.

Two riders from the Anxi Army quickly stepped forward to intercept. At this time, He Qianqian had already driven his horse to the goal. As long as Cui Qianyu passed the ball, Fan Yangjun would win.

But Cui Qianyu chose to hit the goal with heavy artillery fifty steps away. Cui Qianyu made a long shot, and the polo drew a rainbow and went straight to the goal. At this moment, Li Siye magically appeared, and he jumped into the air from his horse and waved high

Use the stick to intercept the polo in mid-air, and then drop it firmly back onto the horse.

This time, the light skill, horse speed, and flying ball trajectory were so accurately grasped that everyone inside and outside the court cheered in unison.

Li Siye protected the ball under his stick and deftly passed it to Helou Yurun. Helou Yurun took two steps and then passed it to Feng Changqing. Feng Changqing was not impatient, he observed the situation on the court and slowly advanced.

After the horse passed the center circle, Feng Changqing hit the horse and suddenly accelerated, attracting three Fan Yangjun riders to outflank him. Just when the three men were about to complete the encirclement, Feng Changqing passed the ball out and handed it to the gap.

Xi Yuanqing.

After Xi Yuanqing and Li Feiyuanli played a two-on-one, Xi Yuanqing got rid of the pursuit and broke through two interceptions. However, seeing that Fan Yang's third interception was difficult to break through, he passed back to Feng Changqing who came in from behind on the right.

Chang Qing moved forward while protecting the ball, waving his hands to signal left and right players to keep the formation stable.

Suddenly Li Guiren rode his horse to block him, and the horse passed by Feng Changqing's left side. His stick first blocked and then blocked him, and went straight to the polo. Feng Changqing secretly applied gentle force, and his stick swayed in the air, pretending.
