Chapter 66: : chariot race
On the fourth day of the Olympic Games, horse racing and chariot racing were originally just performances. Some nobles and slave owners let guards and slaves participate in the competition to win honor for them. However, because all the previous champions were taken away by Yan Luo, the result During the horse race, something happened that shocked the audience.
More than 200 athletes from each city-state participated!
At this time, the horses did not have saddles and stirrups, and the participants relied entirely on their own skills. More than 200 real athletes competed fiercely! In the end, Odes of Crotone was victorious-nine athletes died in the game, and another 18 people fell off their horses and were trampled into disabilities.
Seeing such a scene, Wang Dongwei and Zhu Xiaoyong secretly clicked their tongues, the ancients were really brutal and brave.
The last chariot race is here.
Chariots, in this era, are the most destructive weapons in war, whether in the East or in the West! The current Greek chariots have absorbed certain characteristics of Egyptian chariots and Persian chariots. There are two-wheeled chariots and four-wheeled chariots, and there are two-horse or four-horse chariots.
The largest chariot is of course a large four-wheeled chariot with four horses. On it, a complete team can even stand: a battle group composed of 7 people!
The smallest is a two-wheeled chariot drawn by two horses, with only one driver, and a combat soldier with a bow and arrow, a spear and a shield. Small chariots also have the advantages of small chariots, that is, they are easy to drive and the two wheels are more flexible.
Dozens of city-states, most of the athletes participated in this competition, and almost everyone looked at Yan Luo with fighting spirit.
Seeing this scene, Wang Dongwei and Zhu Xiaoyong secretly felt bad in their hearts.
As for Yan Luo...
deadpan ing
The chariot race is not held on the Olympic stadium, but on a racecourse 800 meters long and 320 meters wide, and it needs to run a distance of about 10 kilometers. Now more than 40 chariots are parked on the racetrack, which is completely suitable for a battle!
In fact, if it weren't for the horses + chariots, it would be too expensive, and there would be more athletes participating. After all, almost all Greeks—except Athens—wanted to defeat Yan Luo in this game.
"Oh oh oh!"
Amid the cheers and applause of the audience, Wang Dongwei drove the chariot, and the four-wheeled chariot was pulled into the field by two horses.
On the chariot, the chubby Zhu Xiaoyong was carrying a large shield on his back, and holding a large shield with both hands, like two turtle shells covering his body. Armor is not allowed in chariot races, and this fat man only wore a loincloth. His white fat was rippling in the bumps, and he looked quite happy.
Yan Luo was just a piece of linen cloth around his waist, and he wore a mask of joy, anger, sorrow and joy on his hair. Many athletes were shocked when they saw him, and he actually held a 6-meter-long spear.
"Macedonian spears!"
Someone exclaimed.
This is indeed a Macedonian spear. After destroying the Macedonian army, the five Macedonian spears that can be brought out of the world are 5 meters long. The 6-meter one is the cavalry spear of the warrior Gulam, which is equivalent to the prototype of the dragon gun. The length is about 6.3 meters!
It is not easy to hold such a spear as a weapon, because it is too long, and the center of gravity will be brought forward. Therefore, the Greek athletes here are equipped with spears, each of which is only 2 meters long, and the maximum is 3 meters. Now Yan Luo has a weapon that is twice or three times as long as theirs!
It's a foul!
When the chariot is in motion, its footing is inherently unstable. Once it hits or bumps—there is no shock-absorbing device in this era, it is likely to fall. How dare you hold a weapon that is more than 6 meters away! These athletes don't know that Yan Luo has no defects in strength, flexibility, balance, and coordination.
In addition to the 6.3-meter-long Macedonian spear, Yan Luo's Panlong stick and a 62-jin iron rod were also placed on the chariot.
There is even a mandarin duck knife!
Thanks to the fact that this is a four-wheeled chariot, if it were replaced with a two-wheeled trolley, Zhu Xiaoyong, a fat man weighing more than 300 kilograms, would be enough, plus Wang Dongwei, Yan Luo, and a weapon weighing more than 60 kilograms... it would probably fall apart when running.
Yan Luo stood on the chariot and looked around. There were more than 40 other chariots, big and small. Many chariots were painted with various colors, even patterns of lions, poisonous snakes, and cows, and the names of city-states. The smallest group of two, the largest chariot with seven people!
Equipped with four shields, six long spears, and two iron swords, if necessary, they can form a hedgehog-like attack array.
A famous athlete is all naked, and the shield is the only armor.
The chariot race was originally attended by some slaves. This time, the most powerful warriors in all of Greece, with the city-state as the unit, organized a chariot race for the first time in history. The audience was full of expectations, especially listening to the chariot race. Until the priest changed the rules of the game.
All the participants this time are real fighters, so it is allowed to attack others like in a melee!
Of course, you can’t use arrows, and you can’t attack other people’s deadly parts, such as piercing the heart with an iron sword, cutting the neck with a machete—but you can hit someone’s head with a wooden spear, and cut hands with a sword or knife. To put it simply That is to beat the disabled regardless.
In boxing and melee, people are often beaten to death! Therefore, these sturdy ancient Greek warriors did not feel that this rule was too much, but they all looked at Yan Luo with murderous looks on their faces.
Wang Dongwei pulled the horse's harness with a dignified expression, and he also felt the atmosphere. At this time, the referee blew the flute suddenly, and the chariot race began in the sharp sound of the flute ~www.readwn.com~ Roar! "
In the voice of the audience, the two chariots on the left and right immediately surrounded the chariot where Yan Luo was. These two chariots were small two-wheeled chariots, very flexible. Muscles swell, ready to attack after approaching.
And then... there is no more.
"Crack, crack!"
With a crisp sound, Yan Luo firmly grasped the **** of the gun with both hands, took a horse step with his feet, joined his waist and horse together, and shook the 6.3-meter Macedonian spear like noodles! With a huge force, the long spear first moved to the left, drew a semicircular arc, and directly hit the head of the left chariot driver.
There was a muffled sound of "bang", this guy definitely had a severe concussion, and his head flew out, and Yan Luo used the strength of the rebound to throw the gun to the right again.
The athlete above hastily raised his shield, but the force transmitted from the spear could not be resisted by him standing on the chariot. The guy was smashed and fell to the right, and the driver hurriedly pulled the horse's rein in panic. , There was a cry of "Herod", and the two horses turned and ran to the right. This violent inertial potential energy caused the chariot with them to overturn.
"Boom boom..."
The wooden chariot immediately hit the ground and fell apart. The athlete driving it fell to the ground, life and death unknown. Two round wheels rolled on the ground, and one of the wheels rolled off the athlete's head. past…
Yan Luo stood on the chariot, just like an ancient general who stood upright with his sword and his chariot, majestic and majestic.
The mask of joy, anger, sorrow and joy on his hair has been set in "anger". He looked around at the chariots and opponents on the field, his eyes were cold, and he exuded a piercing aura: "This champion, I'm determined! Anyone who wants to stop me, then come!"
