Chapter 48 The whole army gambles
In the
afternoon, Du Wei came to the barracks next to the castle. Now there are more than three hundred private troops guarding the castle in the barracks.
Because of this incident in which Du Wei was kidnapped by a magician, in order to strengthen the security of the castle, a light infantry regiment had already been mobilized to come to this barracks, and the number of private troops of the Luolin family, who was responsible for guarding the castle and the surrounding area, had reached a thousand people.
Du Wei swaggered into the barracks, and Robert Knight immediately arrived with men.
Robert was demoted half a rank after returning because of Duwey's abduction, but it was only a nominal demotion, he still carried the cavalry, and before the end of the year, he would find an excuse to be reinstated.
After Du Wei walked into the barracks, everyone immediately noticed... This young master's mount!
The one that was carefully selected, the best horse in the entire castle... This horse even Robert Knight once coveted for a long time ...
And now, this horse with a snow-white mane ... Its tail is already bald!
Looking at Young Master Du Wei sitting on this bald-tailed horse, he seemed to be very happy... Robert suddenly felt his scalp tingle: What does this young master want to do?
"Dear Robert Knight, I just came to take a look and see what the lads of the family are doing." Du Wei smiled very harmlessly.
"Young Master, it's still spring, the spring drill has just ended, and recently everyone's work is still being repaired, as for the daily patrol tasks, it is all done by the cavalry team... Don't know what you'd like to see? Robert looked at the smile on Du Wei's face, and suddenly his heart moved, and he tentatively said, "Maybe you want to go hunting?" If so, I will immediately gather a group of cavalry to accompany you.
In Robert's opinion, it is probably that the grounded young master is extremely bored and wants to have some fun.
Hunting, it's a small thing.
"No, not hunting." Du Wei smiled happily: "I'm here today to find everyone to play a new trick, a new game I just came up with!"
Dewey removed something from the saddle, and Robert saw that it was a small cloth bag.
After untying the cloth bag, what Du Wei was holding in his hand was a leather ball!
Well, for this ball, Du Wei put down the capital.
In order to save expenses, Du Wei had no extra money to buy cowhides, simply returned to the room, picked out one of his own leather clothes, and asked the old housekeeper to find a maid who could needlework, Du Wei simply said his requirements...
Just sewing into a ball shape, this job is not difficult. The maid finished it in a few strokes, and the stitching was strong.
As for the filling in the ball...
There is no rubber in this world, you can't make a real inflatable leather ball, in order to maintain elasticity, you can only get some soft filling, preferably some hair and the like... For example, horsetail!
In this way, he ruthlessly contributed a leather coat, plus the tail of the horse under his seat. A ball is done.
When he got this thing, several servants next to him were looking at Du Wei with "loser" eyes, only Du Wei himself didn't care in his heart.
Get some pocket money, but it's up to you.
"Robert, look, this is my new game... I call it ... Football. "
•;
"Eleven players on each side, one of them is a goalkeeper, except for the goalkeeper who can use his hand, no other player is allowed to touch the ball with any part of his arm, otherwise it is a foul!" The purpose of this game is to kick the ball into the opponent's goal as much as possible through the cooperation of your own team members! At the same time, strictly let go of the other party and prevent the other party from kicking into their own goal..."
The basic rules of football, Du Wei roughly explained. The rules were not cumbersome, and more than a hundred soldiers quickly understood.
Just play with your feet!
On the training ground, two saddles were used on both sides to draw a goal frame.
Du Wei personally came on the field, selected Robert Knight, and several cavalry who had gone out with him, and formed a team. A group of officers formed another team and began to kick.
At the beginning, it was naturally full of jokes, the officers of the Rollin family, who had not played football, often habitually fouled, and some people passed the ball in order to pass farther, and as a result, they carried the vindictive knight and kicked the ball to the top.
Fortunately, Du Wei had already prepared, and the maid who could needlework with him immediately sewed it on the spot... And the hapless knight contributed the tail of his war horse.
And when a knight rushes forward with the ball, often the other party will habitually make some illegal moves in order to block him... It was simply an eye-opener for Du Wei!
Often a person dribbled the ball just after half-time, the other party surrounded and kicked over, not against the ball, but against the person! Then the two almost gave up the ball, and you went back and forth to get Quan Wuxing! This side is shining, and the body is fierce there, and the fight is very happy!
I have to say that these officers of the Luolin family are quite skilled in martial arts, extraordinary, and their physical fitness is also very excellent. On the contrary, after Du Wei ran a few laps, his physical strength was no longer good, and he simply replaced him, and he himself became the referee.
After a few more kicks and kicks with a red card, the rest of the guys finally played a little bit.
Dewey also demonstrated a few dribbling and flipping moves, and tried a free kick from distance, and in an afternoon, the soldiers finally mastered the rules of football.
Even the rules of "offside", "penalty kicks for fouls in the box", "direct free kicks" and "indirect free kicks" are played decently.
In the evening, the most clever guy has actually learned to fake falls in the restricted area!
Despite the guy's clumsy performance, Du Wei had to give him a penalty with respect. Because his favorite star in his previous life was Inzaghi, known as the "King of Fake Wrestling".
This penalty also won the indignation of the onlookers who cursed the "black whistle".
One afternoon, all the officers and soldiers in the barracks fell in love with the man's movement!
The "world's first movement" in the previous life was really not covered!
In the evening, Du Wei had already discovered that several high-ranking officers had painfully found their leather clothes and handed them to the maid to cut into leather balls, and at the same time... Several horse tails were also contributed.
Almost when the sun went down, the group left the training ground in a daze. The soldiers who won the game cheered as if they had won the battle, while the losing side gritted their teeth and agreed to fight again tomorrow.
For all this, Du Wei is very satisfied!
•;
In the evening, Du Wei came to his own small building, Solskjaer had already gone back to rest, and at night this building belonged to Du Wei alone.
Let a few guards guard outside, and no one is allowed to enter.
Du Wei went up to the third floor with peace of mind, stood on the terrace, and looked up at the sky.
"What the hell are you doing during the day?" Behind him, Semel sat on the railing, holding Bai Shengsheng's calves high, which made Du Wei dazzled for a while.
Trying to open his head sideways, Du Wei sighed: "Make money."
"Make money?" Semel laughed, she followed Du Wei all day, but only Du Wei could see her. Saimer laughed for a while, clearly unbelieving: "You lost a leather coat, cut off your horse's tail, and at the end of the day, you sweated, stained two clothes, and only changed one body of dust... This is also called making money?
Du Wei directly rolled his eyes: "What do you understand?" Wait and see.
At this moment, it was already midnight, there was no cloud in the sky, the starry sky was brilliant, and Du Wei looked at the time: "Can it start?"
"The cultivation of star magic is actually not difficult... But the most difficult thing is to start. At the mention of star magic, Semel's attitude was much more serious, and it was at this moment that the expression on her face seemed to remind Du Wei of the great female astrologer.
Du Wei sat down according to Saimer's instructions.
"Feel it with your heart."
"Feel what?" Du Wei glared.
"Stars!" Saimer said slowly: "Feel the power of the stars." After a pause, she explained: "Of course, in the beginning, you can't feel the entire starry sky, I ask you to choose one of them, and then after you sit down, you have to use all your magical powers to feel... Feel the response that star gives you everything... It's hard, and it's not something you can feel in one night.
Later, Semer taught Du Wei a spell, and she asked Du Wei to silently recite this spell in his heart, and then choose a star as her goal.
"Which one should I choose?"
"The biggest and brightest one." Semel replied.
Du Wei was stunned: "The biggest and brightest? God, with so many stars in the sky, which one is the biggest and brightest? Semel
smiled mysteriously at this moment, and she gently raised her hand and pointed to the sky... Under the moonlight, Semel's smile is charming, with a hint of mystery, and his eyes are peaceful and inscrutable!
What she was referring to was... Moon!
Du Wei's heart was awe-inspiring!
Moon! It's the moon!
He looked at Semel in front of him in surprise... Great female astrologer... Does she even know this? According to Du Wei's previous life, the sun is a star, and the moon is the moon's satellite. They are the largest in the sky because of their size and distance from the earth!
In fact, in this world, even magicians divide the sun, moon, and stars into three different categories!
But no one knew... The sun and moon are actually a kind of stars!
"Feel it with your heart, feel any fluctuations! Even if it's just a touch of spiritual shock. The process will be long, maybe a day, maybe even a year... If you can take this step, you will have a chance to learn star magic... Otherwise... It can only be said that you don't have this talent anymore.
After Saimer finished speaking, he yawned and sat lazily on the side, looking at Du Wei, who was meditating on his back facing the sky with his eyes closed...
At the beginning, Du Wei tried to use traditional magic to sense...
After adding an "antenna" to his head, Du Wei's induction is very strong, he can even feel the air flow and wind fluctuations in the sky, he can feel the river flowing several miles away... He could even hear the sound of running water...
But, the stars, the moon...
It's so far away!
Too far too far!
Du Wei tried his best to spread out his spiritual power, but the more the tentacles of spiritual power went to the sky, the weaker it became... Even if Du Wei tried his best, he could feel the wind in the sky... This is already the limit!
Moon?
Du Wei is a reincarnated person, of course he knows that the moon is far from the ground where he is... What a distance!! At that distance, Du Weike didn't think that his spiritual power could pass through that astronomical distance!
Obviously, the first night, Du Wei failed.
"I can't give you specific guidance, because you have to understand it yourself." Saimer sighed: "These things, you understand, you understand." If you don't understand, I can't make it clear.
Fortunately, Du Wei did not feel any setbacks. Anyway, Saimer also said that things will not be so simple. And Du Wei... What he has is time! He has nothing else now, but he has a lot of idle time.
In the morning, although he did not sleep all night, Du Wei, who meditated all night, became more and more vigorous in his mental power. He was full of energy and didn't look sleepy at all.
Du Wei faintly felt that the spell that Saimer told him seemed to have a huge effect on the growth of spiritual power! Far more effective than ordinary magic meditation!
This increase does not refer to an increase in the total amount of spiritual power... But... I feel that my spiritual power has been refined in some way and is more refined...
•;
In the morning, Du Wei came to the barracks again, and today Du Wei gathered more troops... Almost all the soldiers who did not have patrol missions came to the playground.
For half a day yesterday, all the soldiers who participated in the game of football liked this sport.
And today, Du Wei proposed a new way to play.
"I'll give out a hundred gold coins." Du Wei smiled and said, "You can form a team at will, and then sign up for the plug!" Group by lottery... Those who lose are eliminated, and those who win will continue to compete with other teams! The team that wins at the end gets a prize of 100 gold coins.
Although
Robert feels that this kind of game of kicking football is a bit unprofessional... However, this kind of game is not harmful to the soldiers, at least running around, but also improving physical strength. Moreover, having just experienced spring exercises, the current soldiers are also in the recuperation period, and the training is not thatHow strict.
Coupled with the fact that this young master was so interested, it was not easy to refute his face...
Of course, the deeper reason is that Robert Knight himself likes this game.
The proposal made by the most noble young master, the officer did not object. The soldiers, of course, will not object.
Let alone... And bonuses to get!
In order to ensure that this "cup" continues and maintain the physical strength of the soldiers, Du Wei deliberately shortened the time of one game.
In the previous life, the regular game lasted ninety minutes, and Du Wei set only half the time here.
Soon, several clerks in charge of logistics in the barracks were responsible for registration, and the soldiers who were rubbing their hands on their hands formed a team according to their personal friendships, and even some simply formed a team of their own squads to sign up for the competition.
The chaos lasted all morning, and there were forty teams registered!
A team is counted as having fifteen players (Du Wei customized, eleven players on the list, four substitutes).
The number of participants reached 600! That is, more than half of the thousand soldiers in the entire barracks participated.
Fortunately, the playground is big enough, and... Here, there are also large woods and lawns outside, and the venue is not to worry.
Du Wei personally drew lots to divide the group, so the first football cup match of the Rollin family began...
Because it was based on the lottery elimination system, after the first round of the competition, only half of the forty teams remained.
Due to the venue, it is impossible to play twenty matches in the first round at the same time. So in the afternoon, the top 20 was born!
At this time, Du Wei, who had watched most of the competitions, had already obtained enough information by relying on his magician's super mental power and memory!
Which teams have better physical strength, which teams have players who are more likely to fake falls, which teams have stronger talent, which teams are weaker...
These details Du Wei firmly remembered.
Then, before the next round began, Du Wei smiled and suggested:
"It's not interesting to just watch someone kick like that... Let's bet on something! "-
