Neon Clothes and Iron Clothes

Chapter 299
"Dare to ask, how many players are there on both sides of this polo field?"

"The minimum is four or five, and the maximum is 20, depending on the size of the field and the players' equestrian skills!" Jin Renwen interjected.

"Then 18 people!" Wang Wenzuo said.

"Why 18 people?" The prince asked curiously.

"Your Highness, as far as I know, the polo players in the East Palace are inferior to the North Gate Guards in terms of skills and horses. The fewer the number of people in this polo competition, the greater the role of individual skills and mounts will be. If there are too many people, the effect of that person's golf skills and mounts will be reduced. So Wei Chen said to Duo Li, originally wanted to say [-], but now there are only [-] days until the Lantern Festival, and I am afraid that there will be too many people to practice in time! "

"So that's what happened!" The prince nodded, and his confidence in Wang Wenzuo increased a lot: "Then Wang Junjun, you can show me the demonstration of 18 people!"

"Yes, Your Highness!" Wang Wenzuo responded and demonstrated on the Go board. He said that 18 people were arranged in three lines according to 4, 8, and 6, and then explained: "If we want to win, we should choose who The competition system where the first to get enough chips wins, and the number of chips should be higher, such as [-] times, so that more horsepower can be consumed, which is beneficial to us!"

"Why is the race system that consumes horsepower beneficial to our side? Obviously our horses are not as good as those of the Beimen Forbidden Army!" the prince asked.

"It's very simple! Prince, please take a look!" Wang Wenzuo moved the chess pieces representing the rider two spaces forward and two squares back, and asked, "Your Highness, how many squares do you think each chess piece has moved?"

"Four squares!"

"Four squares, if one square is equal to twenty steps, that is 80 steps, and each rider ran eighty steps in this attack and defense." Then Wang Wenzuo arranged all the chess pieces in a row, and then moved forward four squares, Moved back four squares and asked: "Your Highness, what about this time?"

"Eight grids!"

"That's right, it's eight squares, a total of 160 steps, each rider ran 160 steps in one attack and defense, twice as much as the previous situation!"

Seeing that the prince was still a little dazed, Jin Ren asked with a smile on the side: "Prince, you can see clearly, according to Wang Canjun's first lineup method, the last column only needs to pass the ball to the second column when attacking, and then the second column Pass to the first column, and then the first column moves forward forty steps to reach the opponent's goal, so each column only needs to run forty steps, which can save a lot of horsepower."

"I see, is there any other benefit?"

"Please look, Your Highness!" Wang Wenzuo slid his finger above the chessboard: "This pass can not only be passed vertically, but also horizontally. For example, when the enemy sees the ball here, they will naturally concentrate here, so our players should move backwards. In one row, after the players behind receive the ball, they should pass it horizontally, and then pass it forward, so that they reach the other side of the field, and in this way, they can repeatedly mobilize the opponent's players and consume the opponent's horsepower!"

In this way, Wang Wenzuo combined seven or eight football tactics in his memory before crossing, such as "flying with two wings", "passing from the bottom", "long pass", "inserting behind the fullback", and "cutting inside the winger". Once it was demonstrated on the chessboard, Prince Li Honghe had seen so many tricks before, he couldn't help being dumbfounded, and finally sighed: "This king has watched polo since he was sensible, and he has watched hundreds of games at least. This is the first time I know that polo can be played like this. Jin Jiaoyu, why didn't you introduce Wang Canjun to me earlier?"

Jin Renwen argued with a wry smile, "Your Highness, it's the first time I've seen these just like you. You heard what Wang Canjun said just now. He has never played polo before. How did I know he still has this ability! "

"Forget it! This king finally opened his eyes tonight, and there are still fourteen days before the Lantern Festival. Wang Canjun, I will leave the polo team to you! The stadium is behind the East Palace, so I will take you there Take a look, practice will start tomorrow morning!"

Seeing the prince's high spirits, Wang Wenzuo couldn't shirk, so he and Jin Renwen followed the prince's Chengyu to the back of the hall.

The empty stadium was extremely quiet. With the help of the light from the torch on the wall, Wang Wenzuo could see the eunuch watchman wrapped in a cloak to resist the cold in the aisle not far away. Although he couldn't see the opponent's face clearly, Wang Wenzuo could imagine the emotion in the opponent's heart at this time. sorrow.

Oh oh oh!
The familiar crying sound came from the direction of Yeting Palace again, but it was much clearer than before, maybe it was closer this time, Wang Wenzuo subconsciously looked there.

"This Yeting Palace is also true. Today is the New Year's Eve and the palace people are being punished!" Prince Li Hong's face was a little unhappy, and he stretched out his hand to call for the maid at the side: "Go over there and say that today is the day to get rid of the old and bring out the new. If there is any fault, it will be forgiven!"

"Your maid obeys the order!" The court lady responded, and led an eunuch with a lantern to the direction of Yeting Palace. Li Hong sighed: "Everyone in the world says the palace is good, but who knows how many people there are under this high wall?" sorrow!"

"That's right!" Jin Renwen sighed: "If Jin was not born in the Wang family, he would have less worries!"

"Yes, if this king is Jin Jiaoyu, he would rather be born in a commoner family, at least he can support his parents, and he doesn't have to travel far and live in a foreign country."

Wang Wenzuo at the side listened to Jin Renwen and Li Hong, two sons of the Wang family sighing, and the only thing he could do was to shut up and listen.

After about half a meal, the maid came back with a strange look on her face, she knelt down and said, "Report to His Royal Highness, that cry is not the maid being punished!"

"Isn't the court lady being punished? Then today is New Year's Eve, why are they crying? Could it be that they miss their family?"

"This—" The court lady knelt on the ground, and the light shone on her face. Wang Wenzuo could see clearly that her face was red and white, obviously she had encountered something extremely embarrassing.

"What's the matter!" Prince Li Hong was also aroused by the performance of the palace lady, he pointed his right hand to the servant who went with him, and asked: "What is the matter, tell me!"

"I don't dare!" The eunuch was startled, he quickly knelt on the ground and kowtowed, but he still didn't dare to say it.Seeing this, the prince couldn't help but get angry: "Aren't you all willing to say? Well, you don't need to say anything, I just go and see for myself!"

The maid hurriedly stepped forward to stop her: "Your Highness, you can't go! That's not your business!"

Prince Li Hong didn't bother to pay attention to the maids, he waved his hand, someone dragged him aside long ago, and went all the way to Yeting Palace.Wang Wenzuo and Jin Renwen also followed.

The East Palace and Yeting Palace are only separated by a palace road, Li Hong and his party went down the steps and arrived at Yeting Palace in a short while.A eunuch on duty had already greeted him.
