49. Games can sometimes turn into bloody workouts

"It's so boring. If you keep doing this, mushrooms will grow on your body."

"The weather in winter is so dry, and the inside of the house is drier than outside. Will mushrooms grow on your body, which is as dry as burned firewood? I think it's better to throw you into the well outside and soak it.

It might be possible in a day or two." "Hey, you're not growing mushrooms, you're making good friends for Sadako."

In the blink of an eye, nearly half a month has passed since the first snowstorm came. During this period, there were two heavy snowfalls, one for eight days and one for seven days.

The reason why it was divided into two parts is not because Li Shushi is a bad comedian, but because the bad weather that was still blowing the north wind mixed with large snowflakes on the evening of the eighth day suddenly stopped strangely in an instant.

After landing, Li Shushi really wanted to sing loudly when he saw the setting sun peeking out through the thick clouds.

But before he could prepare the atmosphere, the thick clouds enveloped the sun again, and the north wind that had been stuffed into the hole just now led his snowflake partner back to the earth. So, just like that,

What was supposed to be a 15-day snowstorm was suddenly split into two halves, which made Li Shushi feel miserable and went outside to place a POS in the snow.

After all, this heavy snow does not always have strong winds and heavy snow, so Li Shushi and everyone can take advantage of the snow to clear the snow in front of their doors and roofs, otherwise they will face being unable to go out or the house will be crushed.

It is dangerous. But even so, the total amount of snow remains unchanged, so if the snow in Lishi City cannot be transferred in time, I am afraid that Lishi City will become a vast ocean after the weather gets warmer.

Of course, the good news is not without it. If nothing else, at least next year as long as there is no major drought, it will be a good harvest year, because the heavy snow has brought abundant water and the severe cold has also frozen to death those harmful crops.

eggs of pests.

However, Li Shushi believed that the threat to the barbarians must be greater than that of him. Since he had someone to back him up, why should he have a sad face? Besides, the snow has been decreasing again in the past two days. According to Old Man Tong,

The heavy snow has just fallen here. Of course, even so, the heavy snow is enough to be called a monster.

Following the advice of Yan Zhong and Lu Zhi, Li Shushi drafted a memorial with the help of Cheng Yu and Liu Meng, reporting the snow situation to the court, and of course asking for some supplies for disaster relief. Just because

Due to the problem of control ability, the court's disaster relief materials may not be distributed to the entire Xihe County even when they arrive at Li Shushi's place, and those remote areas will have to fend for themselves.

Even Lu Zhi was helpless about such a result. After all, they were about to face the barbarians whose eyes were red because of the disaster. In order to survive, these grassland peoples never cared about issues of etiquette, justice and shame. But think about Cheng Yu's children's shoes next to them

to understand

To solve Cao Cao's military ration problem, he was able to come up with a proposal to make dry food for the refugees. It can be seen that in fact, everyone's reaction when facing a disaster is actually the same, so the sage Mencius said, "The storehouse is practical and you know the etiquette, and you have enough food and clothing."

The conclusion of "Knowing honor and disgrace".

As for Lishi, which Li Shushi can basically control now, Zhongyang and Hepingzhou County, which is also the base of Li Shushi's counterattack, naturally need more help. Li Shushi even plans to send his troops out to stage a "drama of fish and water between the military and civilians".

But now, although the wind and snow are weakening, it is still not suitable for the army to set off, especially the issue of winter clothing, which can be said to be the biggest problem that plagues Li Shushi's winter troop training and dispatch.

Because most of his soldiers are not locals, unlike locals and barbarians who have had various leather jackets or furs left by their ancestors since childhood, which can be used to withstand the cold winter. Even if some can be purchased from locals, there is still a gap after all.

It was too big. Until now, the leather jackets made of leather in Li Shushi's hands were only enough to arm his own guards and a small number of soldiers.

Therefore, when marching in such a windy and snowy day, the thick cloth worn by ordinary soldiers could easily lead to rapid loss of body temperature due to ventilation, resulting in non-combat attrition. Therefore, Li Shushi really did not intend to take risks in such a windy day.

However, if those soldiers are allowed to stay in the barracks without doing anything, Li Shushi doesn't think it is a good thing, because although attributes are fixed, physical strength requires regular exercise, and they are also subject to disease or other conditions.

Due to the influence of some factors, a guy like Li Shushi who is not diligent is definitely a physical waste.

"What are they doing?" Li Shushi, who planned to inspect the military camp while the snow was getting lighter, was already near the school grounds when he saw a group of soldiers in the distance of the school grounds who seemed to be swarming over something. They weren't really playing ball, were they?

.

Although Ban Gu listed "Twenty-Five Cuju Chapters" as a military book when he wrote "Hanshu·Yiwenzhi", which belongs to the category of military training skills. Wang Jian also played with this thing in Chu, but when he came to the Han Dynasty,

It was the first time that Li Shushi saw this sport that would make people in the country a thousand years later burst into tears and go crazy when mentioned.

"Playing ball!" Lu Bu, who was accompanying Li Shushi, casually looked in the direction Li Shushi pointed and replied.

With the arrival of Li Shushi and especially Lu Bu, many sharp-eyed guys had stopped moving. When Li Shushi and others approached, everyone was already lined up and standing neatly.

"Hello everyone, my soldiers!" Li Shushi pointed to the obviously damaged ball on the ground, "Can you show me this?" To be honest, Li Shushi is really curious about football in this era.

After all, when he was in school, he was quite obsessed with this sport, which is known as the number one sport in the world. Later, although his enthusiasm faded, he still liked it very much.

"Oh! Okay, sir!" Upon hearing Li Shushi's instructions, a soldier immediately picked up the ball that looked more like a rugby ball than a football and handed it to Li Shushi respectfully.

The other soldiers around who were a step slower had all kinds of envious, jealous and hateful looks in their eyes, but this had nothing to do with Li Shushi.

Li Shushi carefully observed the so-called "ball" in the shape of an olive. The ball's shell was sewn with eight sharp pieces of leather, and the material seemed to be cowhide. When he bumped the ball with his hand, it was not as heavy as he had imagined.

Shen, it seems that the filling in the ball shell is not animal hair, but an inflatable ball made from the bladder of some animal. Maybe he is the supplier of the ball shell material.

"Football", looking at the ball in his hand which was really far away from a round sphere, a Chinese name for American football immediately popped up in Li Shushi's mind, making him unable to help but feel joyful, excited and happy.

laughed.

Super Bowl Sunday is the unofficial national day of the American Empire. It is said that before Super Bowl Sunday, the food sales of the American Empire exceed that of any other day except Jesus’ Birthday and the Feast of Revenge. Because this is a fierce confrontation.

In the game, the offense is wave after wave, and the defense is doing everything possible. It is a sport that can definitely make various hormones and adrenaline secrete wildly. And the athletes involved in it, even the most elegant quarterback, have comparable

David's figure.

Imagine that at the beginning of the game, soldiers wearing armor were crushing them like heavy tanks, running at extremely high speeds, and just hearing the sound of the impact was enough to arouse the desire to fight in the hearts of the men. Li Shushi was absolutely sure that this man would be able to fight.

This sport is popular in the entire military camp. If it can be brought to the entire Han cultural circle or even spread to the entire world, and this sport will be pioneered by Li Shushi here, think about the future when his bronze statue is erected at the entrance of the Rose Bowl Stadium. Just think about it.

I can wake up with a smile.

Of course, the most important reason is that this sport happens to be very suitable for the training needs of Xihe County soldiers who are currently unable to conduct outdoor training due to wind and snow. The idea of ​​becoming famous is definitely an additional condition for this.

Throwing the thing in his hand that Li Shushi preferred to call a rugby ball, he looked at the soldiers present. There were more than forty. If they were not divided into specialized functions, there would be no need to worry about insufficient numbers. So Li Shushi spoke loudly.

Said excitedly.

"All the soldiers present, go put on your armor, and don't forget to put on your leather helmet. Today I will teach you a very tough, violent but also very interesting sport called 'Lee's Heavy Rugby'

Right! By the way, divide into two teams of equal numbers. One team wears black trousers and the other team wears white trousers. Carry out the leather shields as well."

Although Li Shushi cannot explain the specific rules accurately, he should first maximize the number of participants from both sides, and then slowly reduce them according to the needs of the venue and activities. At the same time, the defensive team must also be equipped with shields.

Let's talk about it. Both infantry and cavalry should have some knowledge of the shield as a defensive tool, right?

As soon as the soldiers heard that they were having fun, they immediately went to put on their armors. While Lu Bu was confused, Li Shushi went to find a spear and started to draw the side lines, bottom lines and yard lines on the playground. The only pity was that

There is just no long pole to use as a goal, but since we plan to use rugby as a form of physical exercise, it doesn't matter if we don't consider footwork.

"By the way, why are only these people allowed to have fun on the school grounds? What about the other soldiers?"

Li Shushi asked Lu Bu about his inner doubts while drawing the line, but he soon discovered that the line he drew seemed to have a tendency to turn. After blushing for a while, Li Shushi had to hand over the work to Zhao Yun and Xu Chu who were snickering on the side.

.

"They have met the requirements of Zian or Qu Yi, so they are allowed to rest and have fun. As for the others, they are all training outside while the weather improves. Lord, why do you think people are in such poor health like you but still stay in the warm room?

There is such a beautiful wife in the prefect's mansion and she doesn't want to come out."

Well, Li Shushi could only say that he was actually innocent when it came to Lu Bu's teasing. However, his soldiers' training enthusiasm was so high that it was more or less beyond his expectation.

By the time Zhao Yun and Xu Chu had drawn the line, the group of soldiers had already put on their armor and came out carrying shields. But what made Li Shushi break out in a cold sweat was that everyone was carrying spears, daggers and broadswords, among them there were actually

One of them holds two large iron halberds in his hands, and there are countless small iron halberds strapped to his waist. What are they doing? Are they using those guys to shoot people when they are preparing for the game, or are they planning to violently reject the referee when the time comes?

The most important thing is, Dian Wei, when did you sneak out and wear the armor? Why didn’t I notice it at all? Li Shushi was speechless at the black iron tower in front of him who was looking at him and laughing but looking like he was crying.

Stopped the brain.

p.s. I would like to wish you all a happy New Year and auspiciousness in the Year of the Dragon. Therefore, the next update will have to wait until at least the third day of the Lunar New Year. As for the specific day, I don’t know~
