Overlord's Road to Ancient Emperors

Chapter 320 Preliminary Competition

Murong Hua is a young man with a thick back and a hulking waist. He is like an iron tower in front of the tall Kou Xiao. With such a figure and his riding skills, it is really not easy for the two team members to stop him.

Kou Xiao took the lead and swung his stick. The polo flew high, crossed the opponent's formation and flew until halftime before slowly falling down.

Murong Hua couldn't help but sneered, and reminded Kou Xiao when he passed by him: "General Kou doesn't seem to be good at playing polo, that's not how polo is played."

Kou Xiao was furious, and really wanted to say "Fuck you!" But after all, he knew that his shot was too aggressive and it was not good, so he accepted it humbly.

Kou Xiao hit the ball so hard that his team couldn't catch it at all, so he fell into the control of the opponent's player, and the crowd who came to be spectators sighed. Many people bet on Kou Xiao to win. He regretted being so reckless.

"I forgot, General Kou is from the south, and he came from that kind of place, so he definitely wouldn't go to polo. I made a mistake, I made a 200 tael!"

"Yesterday, I saw that General Kou was good at riding. I thought he must be good at playing polo. But I don't know that he is a novice. I am afraid that he is not as good as his team members. Sure enough, everyone has strengths and weaknesses. The prince proposed to change the hunting into a polo game. It was General Kou who screwed him up!"

Of course Li Xu knows how unfavorable his decision is to Kou Xiao, but this spring hunting, their goals are the same, as long as they can get through this difficulty, winning or losing is not the most important thing, of course, winning is absolutely impossible lost.

Kou Xiao conceded a goal, smiled apologetically at the players, and then continued to lead the charge.

The opponent passed the ball to his teammates as soon as he received it, and then passed it to the captain one by one. As soon as Murong Hua got the ball, the feeling was different. Liping and Qiu Zhou were responsible for blocking him, but one of them was passed by him before he got close. As soon as the other rode a horse in front of him, he stretched out his club and was thrown away vigorously by the opponent. He almost fell off the horse. When he sat up straight, the person had already passed him and ran far away.

The two looked at each other, both a little horrified, Muronghua was not only strong, but also very fast on horseback, he passed Kou Xiao's defense one after another, and reached the goal in the blink of an eye.

Qin Zong was also a big man, and the two were about the same size, but the goal was not small. Muronghua raised his stick high and swung it hard, and the polo hit the goal straight like a cannonball.

Qin Zong's fingers only touched the edge of the ball, but the ball flew too fast and too hard, his whole finger was scratched, blood was flowing, and he couldn't stop it at all.

He glanced at his teammates weakly, then pulled the cloth of his underwear to wrap his fingers casually, and then threw the ball to his teammates.

The surrounding audience burst into applause. This is probably the first goal scored at the beginning of the ten games, and it was scored by the defensive side, which is really amazing.

Yuan Hongyang took the opportunity to run up to Kou Xiao, and said in a low voice, "General Kou, you have seen that, General Murong is really strong."

Of course Kou Xiao saw it. It is not difficult to run fast with the ball, but it is difficult to pass the opponent's defense layer by layer. After all, people and horses are alive. It should not be difficult to block the ball, but Murong Hua's level is superb, and there are always various ways to take the ball away. If he blocks the way forcefully, he may be injured because of it.

"It is indeed a strong enemy, but this is just the beginning, we can't lose without a fight, right?"

Yuan Hongyang waved his stick and said firmly: "That's natural, but if General Kou gets the ball next time, don't hit it far away all at once, it's better to pass it to the humble officer."

"Okay." Kou Xiao is not a fool, he will not make mistakes again and again, when the ball is passed, he hits Yuan Hongyang with one stroke, and the opponent catches the ball and quickly attacks the local camp.

Kou Xiao followed closely. When he saw someone intercepting Yuan Hongyang, he immediately stepped forward to meet him. The two of them showed a tacit understanding.

When he met Murong Hua, Yuan Hongyang felt fearful, the stick fell a bit weakly, and the ball was missed, Kou Xiao kicked the horse's belly with his foot, and rushed to meet him at a faster speed, but it was still a step too late, the ball He was robbed by Murong Hua.

Yuan Hongyang sighed angrily, tightened the reins and was about to rush up to fight Muronghua, but was stopped by Kou Xiao with a stick, and then rushed over by himself.

He could tell that Murong Hua played a bit savagely, relying on brute force, and the people who blocked him were basically knocked away. Yuan Hongyang, who has thin arms and thin legs, probably got knocked away just by meeting him in the past.

Kou Xiao's horse was not the tamed and docile horses in the racecourse. It raised its hooves high and neighed, which frightened Murong Hua's mount until its legs went limp.

Sensing the change of the mount, Murong Hua took a deep look at Kou Xiao's mount, his eyes flashed brightly, he licked his lower lip and said: "General Kou's mount is really good, if I can win this time, I will let the emperor take it To come!"

Kou Xiao sneered, "Then let's wait until you win."

"I am not as good as General Kou in hunting, but this course is dominated by the last general. It is not so easy for General Kou to win." Murong Hua said confidently.

Of course Kou Xiao knows that winning is not easy, but it is not impossible. He stretched out his club to pretend to reach the ball on the ground, and the opponent lowered his waist to grab the ball at the same time. , in the rules of polo, the club cannot touch the opponent's body or the horse's body, that is to say, the club cannot hurt the horse, only the ball and the club.

Kou Xiao can't violate the rules, otherwise he will be sent off three times. He is also very strong, and the opponent has a heart of contempt. Kou Xiao's stick not only pushed his club away, but also pushed him away.

Kou Xiao successfully got the ball, hit it out with a stick and passed it to his teammates, the ball was successfully obtained, and Murong Hua was too late to return to the defense, the ball was successfully brought to the opponent's goal by Yuan Hongyang.

Kou Xiao rushed to the goal, when the stick was hit, even the people in the audience could feel the strength, thinking: If the ball hits him, he might punch a hole in his body.

In fact, it is similar. The ball is spinning at high speed and rushing towards the goal. The goalkeeper of Murong Hua's team is a young man who is not tall but nimble. After brushing past his ear, he rushed over belatedly, but before it was too late, the ball flew past the goal and landed in the distance.

Li Xu's first reaction at the time was that it was a good thing he didn't install a net on the goal, otherwise the net would be broken.

Cheers resounded from around again, Kou Xiao played the ball really beautifully, it was a shame, those who made heavy bets finally had some confidence in him.

But Kou Xiao could win this goal because Muronghua underestimated him too much on the one hand. The same method will never succeed the second time. After both sides scored one goal, Muronghua scored three goals in a row, and Liping He was kicked by the opponent's horse's hoof for blocking him, fell off the horse's back, injured his foot, and changed players at the beginning of the game.

The stadium stipulates that people are not allowed to hurt people or horses, but there is no rule that horses can’t hurt people. After all, they are animals, so there is no reason to talk to them. Feel guilty.

Kou Xiao patted him on the shoulder and comforted him, "You're pretty good, go back and have a good rest, and I'll play with you again when I have a chance." It was much stronger, every time Qiu Zhou got close to Murong Hua, he would pretend to be invincible and retreat quickly, how could Kou Xiao fail to see his careful thinking.

When Murong Hua scored the fifth goal, Qin Zong also had some experience. He directly intercepted it with his own body. The ball hit his chest and led him back a few steps, but it missed the goal anyway. It was caught by him.

The team members roared happily, Kou Xiao gave him a thumbs up from a distance, Qin Zong rubbed his aching chest, and showed a simple smile.

Fortunately, General Kou put on a vest for him before playing. I don’t know what kind of material it is made of. I feel that the ball hits my body and it doesn’t hurt as I imagined. The polo is not big. It's much easier to pick it up with your body.

He threw the ball to his teammates, and Kou Xiao and others quickly dribbled the ball to attack before the opponent returned to defense, and quickly scored a point.

After playing back and forth a few times, Kou Xiao gradually figured out the rules and adapted to the rhythm of attacking with the ball. He found that Murong Hua was quite similar to him. They were all passed to him, and then he attacked with all his strength, and basically would not pass the ball out. Although he is indeed of a high level, but after such a whole game, he is absolutely exhausted.

Even if he has plenty of physical strength, the horse is not invincible. Pulling back to run without rest is faster than a human being tired.

Seeing that Qiu Zhou was unable to stop Murong Hua, Kou Xiao simply transferred him to the back and filled his gap by himself. When the opponent's teammate passed the ball, he had a great chance to intercept the ball halfway, and was intercepted by him twice in a row. Success, Murong Hua was so angry that his face turned green.

Kou Xiao waved his stick and carried the ball straight forward. When the opponent's players came to attack him, he swung the ball vigorously, knocked the ball out of the encirclement, and passed it to Yuan Hongyang. Almost scored another goal.

"Hoho...you did a good job!" Everyone shouted excitedly, Kou Xiao clapped the opponent with his club and shouted loudly: "Our team will win!"

"Definitely!"

"We must win!" The players wearing the same team uniform shouted in unison, full of momentum, which shocked many players in other arenas.

"Which team is this? What's better if you can win by shouting loudly?"

"Looking at a team like General Kou's, his opponent is Murong Hua. It should be interesting to fight against each other."

"But I heard that General Kou doesn't know how to play polo at all. He probably will lose."

"No wonder you have to rely on shouting slogans to boost your morale. If General Kou loses at the start, wouldn't he look pretty?"

"What is he afraid of if he doesn't look good? It's true that King Shun's face is shamed. I don't know why King Shun values ​​him so much. There are many talented young people in the capital family who are both civil and military."

"There is still a difference. After all, Kou Xiao was the one who helped King Shun when he was in trouble. A friend in adversity sees the truth. I think Kou Xiao is a person who values ​​love and righteousness, which is very good!"

The story of King Shun's arrival in South Vietnam has spread. Everyone knows that he was so poor that he didn't even have a place to live. It was General Kou who allocated a yard for him to live in. Definitely very tough.

Under such circumstances, Kou Xiao can completely ignore King Shun. A down-and-out prince with no money, no power, and his Kou family are the rulers of South Vietnam for generations. Not only helped him, but also took the lead in helping him tide over the difficulties, allowing Li Xu to smoothly take charge of the political and military power in South Vietnam.

Who would not be grateful for such a great kindness?If they were King Shun, they would have to pamper Kou Xiao.

******

Ten arenas, not all arenas are fiercely played, and there are also teams with great disparity in strength. After all, teams that are put together entirely by luck, some teams have inconsistent hearts and no rules. .

After halftime, many people came to Kou Xiao's side and crowded the stands here.

"How? How's the score?" Everyone stretched their necks to look at the score table outside the arena.

"General Murong's team won by two points. The gap is not that big. In the second half, it is entirely possible to turn defeat into victory."

"I don't think so. Murong Hua used to be an ever-victorious polo player, but he has gradually retired in recent years as he got older."

"You also said it was in the past. That Kou Xiao is young and energetic. The two faced each other several times and Kou Xiao won. This son is insidious, cunning and cunning. General Murong is not his opponent."

"Playing polo is not a matter of personal strength, but the cooperation of all members. General Murong has rich experience in leading a team, how can he be defeated by a novice?"

"That's not necessarily the case. Although General Kou is a novice player in polo, he has been leading troops in battle all year round. It is easy to deploy troops and generals. Isn't it easy to deploy a few players?"

Many people held different opinions, and they were fighting each other. Before a winner was decided on the field, the stands were already full of quarrels.

There was another sound of gongs and drums, and the second half began. Kou Xiao changed another team member. He deliberately made a pass error and hit Qiu Zhou's horse's ass. The horse lost control in an instant, no matter how Qiu Zhou manipulated it. He didn't listen, and left the arena directly with the people.

The referee confirmed that Kou Xiao made a mistake, and he was playing one of his own, so he was not sentenced to a foul. As soon as he left, the first half was over, and he was given a chance to make a substitution.

The two people who were replaced looked excited. This kind of opportunity to show their skills is very rare, even if they lose, it is worth it.

Murong Hua also changed two players. He deliberately replaced the goalkeeper. The new goalkeeper he replaced was also tall and tall. He probably wanted to imitate Qin Zong to catch the ball with his body.

At the beginning of the second half, Li Xu just sat there and did not move. He occasionally cheered Kou Xiao loudly, without concealing his partiality. When he yelled, the rest of the crowd followed suit, and the cheerleaders fell to the ground to help Kou Xiao. It made Murong Hua's complexion even uglier.

"Oh, sinister villain!" Murong Hua spat.

Kou Xiao looked at him arrogantly, and said, "That's because the general is very popular, you can't envy him."

Murong Hua did not have a good popularity. When he was young, he played games and bullied many people. He used to use brute force in basketball and hurt many people. Therefore, he had more enemies than friends.

Murong Hua was so angry that he became more and more reckless when he was playing. He went on a rampage and almost bumped into people several times, but he knew the rules of the game very well, and he could always grasp the proportions very well, which made Kou Xiao and the others a little helpless.

"This won't work. If he tries to prevent us from touching the ball, we will lose with the current score." Yuan Hongyang said to Kou Xiao in a low voice.

"Doesn't he like to use brute force? Then let him foul!"

"It's not easy. He was about to foul several times, but he stopped him in time. He is too familiar with it."

"He can handle it, our people can rub up, as long as they touch it, we can't tell, but we have to find someone who is willing to risk the possibility of injury."

Yuan Hongyang gritted his teeth, "I'll go." Compared with others, he felt that he could act this scene more realistically.

"No, you won't play once you violate the rules, but those who are injured will definitely be replaced. You are one of the main players."

Being affirmed by Kou Xiao, Yuan Hongyang was a little happy and a little proud, and then whispered a few words to one of his teammates, who hesitated for a while and nodded.

"Okay, Liu Chunsheng's horse is almost unable to hold on, and his physical strength is also weak. He is willing to give it a try."

"I will thank him personally after the game." He exchanged glances with Liu Chunsheng, who nodded slightly, and stepped forward to intercept Murong Hua.
