The weather on the grassland has been very good these days. There are no strong winds or blizzards to disturb us. Everyone can easily and comfortably enjoy the rare warm sunshine in winter. This has also resulted in a spectacular scene where the competition venue is getting more and more crowded.
But amidst this hustle and bustle, there is one place that is particularly lively. Even at the outermost edge, you can hear the shouts, cheers and cheers ringing from the center, making your ears tingle slightly. It can be seen from this that this place is very lively.
The game must be the most popular place in the entire venue.
Some people may ask, is this a rugby match named after someone's surname?
No, no, this competition is unique to the grassland people and is not the work of Li Shushi, the copycat king.
It was exactly this kind of competition that Li Shushi planned to let Nero-chan take part in today.
"Bang!" As a dull sound sounded, Li Shushi, who successfully entered the core area of the arena from the "VIP channel", saw a wooden long sword flying high. It should obviously be the weapon of the loser.
The sound of a loud gong that followed confirmed Li Shushi's suspicion just now.
With the sound of the gong, it also marked the end of this round of competition. The audience outside the venue immediately gave warm applause and cheers to the winner, but during this period, there were also many pairs of losers.
The sounds of ridicule and ridicule.
This is the character of the grassland people, bold and realistic, so they advocate victory. As long as they do not violate a certain bottom line, they can do anything for victory. The winner will gain everything, and the loser will lose everything, because
This is not only the inevitable result of the battle between humans, but also the outcome faced by humans and beasts, and humans and natural phenomena.
You can think that this kind of law is full of cruelty, but it is indeed a law that the people of the grassland must respect to continue to thrive in the harsh environment. However, the people of the grassland who do not respect these laws are already dead.
Got it.
The horse galloped on the grassland like an arrow from the string, and wherever the horse's hooves stepped, it would always stir up a cloud of black and yellow soil.
The warriors wearing gorgeous woolen felts and animal skin jackets on their horses resumed the sharp blades in their hands. Those gleaming weapons made it impossible to ignore their huge destructive power. It was truly a weapon that could
A weapon used to kill enemies.
It’s just that now is a sports meeting that emphasizes friendship first and competition second (believe it or not, the grassland people basically don’t believe it anyway), so no matter how sharp the weapon is, it will not be able to be used against people, and they need to face
The target is the fruits on the wooden piles that are arranged irregularly but seem to have unique routes.
Really interesting game setup.
The wooden piles on which the green and patterned fruits are placed are about the height of a person, but they are not exactly the same. Some are slightly taller and some are shorter. The fruits themselves are about the size of a human head, and they are often chopped with sharp weapons.
Sometimes a light red liquid will splash out, which looks like blood splashing from a distance. It can be said that it is quite good both in terms of practicality and appearance.
Therefore, the wisdom of the grassland people really cannot be underestimated. This kind of project not only makes the originally bloody killings interesting to adapt to the purpose of the sports games, but it also does not reduce the actual combat nature of the competition at all, allowing the audience to feast their eyes on the excitement.
By the way, in fact, many people should have realized that, yes, the green fruit as big as a human head is the well-known summer treat - watermelon, also known as cold melon.
As a native variety of the Western Regions, although the watermelon at this time was far from being as sweet as modern ones, the drastic temperature differences in the Western Regions and the deserted soil in some areas still made this fruit taste far better than ordinary fruits.
Of course, the watermelon that has been preserved until now is definitely inedible, but as an important prop used by the Wusun nobles to train their elite troops, it is enough to meet the consumption of this competition. Otherwise, there would not be many such suitable props.
However, Li Shushi soon discovered that this watermelon-cutting game did not seem to require only chopping and slashing and superb riding skills as he imagined. Instead, it had all-round requirements for the contestants, including eyesight, technique, and
The communication ability of a war horse also includes route selection, eye-hand coordination, and the ability to respond to emergencies.
Because the habit they need to chop is a sphere, and it is not connected to the body through the neck like the human head. This means that if you are not strong enough, your chopping action is likely to cause the watermelon to shift and thus
It will cause your attacks to deviate and affect your score. It may even cause
This will produce a chain reaction, affecting your adjustment of posture and the rhythm of attacks on subsequent targets. Even if you are unlucky and encounter a sudden cold wind, it will move the watermelon some distance just when you are about to strike. Congratulations, you
of cups will be placed on the coffee table for this game.
It can be said that even Xiaoqiang Children's Shoes is not completely sure to complete the competition in the most perfect posture. You can imagine the difficulty of the competition.
And this is obviously not the whole content of this game. When everyone in a group has finished the previous stage of the competition, the ten people with the top scores need to be divided into red and blue teams by drawing lots after the game.
If the winning team does not only have one person left, they will need to fight against each other based on the number of people to determine who can finally get the right to qualify for the group.
If there is an odd number of people left, the referees will select the worst-performing survivor from the winning group to be eliminated to ensure the smooth progress of the showdown, and ultimately determine the only one.
It can be said that this competition system is quite cruel, because each round of competition consumes a lot of physical energy, so players who appear later in the order will definitely suffer more. But if you want to be lazy and show less enthusiasm, then I'm sorry, referee
But they are all experienced veterans, so they naturally know how to judge, so you still pray that your group can win while still having an even number of survivors or you being the only survivor.
Such a prayer is of course not so easy to achieve with everyone's hard work. Therefore, in this competition, if you are not careful, some big upsets will happen. Strength and luck are both trying to win from this competition.
Essential elements for a breakout.
However, such rules also reflect the grassland people's style that has no lower limit within the rules, which is why it is so popular.
In fact, Li Shushi thought more, no, or he and Jia Xu had similar views - if this training method can be widely promoted, then the simple and practical martial arts trained in this way will be paired with the grassland
The brave and tenacious character of the people will form an army that is difficult to defeat and cannot be destroyed.
Think about the Mamluk cavalry that will travel across the Middle East and North Africa in the future. How much damage those terrifying fighting machines will cause.
Of course, the prerequisite for achieving this is that you can control the scattered nomadic tribes, otherwise you will only cultivate powerful enemies that will give you a headache, just like the Mamluk cavalry, but except for a few Egyptian sultans, this group of people
Just like the Germanic Guards in Rome, various rebellions emerged one after another, and the speed of defeat was no worse than that of the island countries.
Perhaps it is for this reason that this event has been an exclusive training event for the Wusun Guards before this sports meeting.
"This group is really bad. If Yelida is with such a group of people, he will surely advance to the finals. But I'm afraid defeating such an opponent will not be something to be happy about. How about it? Is there any book?
If you are interested, go and try it.”
"No, I brought Nero-chan to the competition today, so I won't do anything irrelevant other than cheering for Nero-chan~ Besides, if I smashed all those watermelons with the Heavenly Sword, wouldn't it be a disgrace to the referee?
Is it difficult?"
Even good players like Yelida, Ban Hui, and Liang Kuan will be eliminated accidentally. Li Shushi believes that if he plays, it will definitely be even more terrible. As he said, compared to the fine chopping movements, he is probably
Or it was more likely to use the width of the Yitian Sword to smash those watermelons into watermelon jam. Thinking about the boos all over the place, Li Shushi gave up the idea of playing.
"How do you think, Nero-chan? Are you confident?"
Although it has only been a few hours since Nero Jiang transferred to the Xiliang Cavalry, and the Romans’ training methods for battlefield combat are also very different from those of these grassland peoples, but based on Nero Jiang’s enthusiastic appearance in the morning, Li Shushi estimated that she
He probably wouldn't refuse such an offer, although Nero-chan has been in a strange state since Daimao suddenly collapsed in the morning.
"Ah...ah! Master, don't worry, I won't disappoint you!"
Although the reaction was a bit confused, once he got on the horse, he seemed to be a different person and became heroic. Well, it should be described in such a word - like a general who is about to go on an expedition, and there is no girl anymore.
The tenderness and charm were replaced by a murderous aura like the coming of a tyrant.
Sure enough, it is only in this aspect that he still retains the demeanor of the Roman tyrant he once was.
Li Shushi began to look forward to Nero-chan's performance in the competition.
Note: The scientific name of faschismus is Faschismus (German). It originally refers to a bunch of moss sticks carried on the shoulders of the guards around the Roman consuls for beating people. There is an ax inserted in the middle of the moss sticks, symbolizing the highest status of the country.
The power of the chief is also a tool of execution - moss
He beat the condemned prisoner with a stick until his skin was raw, and then he pulled out an ax and chopped off the condemned prisoner's head on the spot. Later, it evolved into a term to describe national socialism or militarism, and the latter gesture may have been seen in German movies depicting World War II.
The children's shoes should be very familiar with them.
