The four towns are rich in elites, and they are unparalleled in their ability to defeat enemies. It is also said that they have sacrificed their soldiers, which is enough to calm the wind and dust.
Lao Ma Ye knew that goshawks are hungry for people. When facing danger, they can fight for a long time and use urgency to act like a god.

…
After another kick-off, Tian Chengsi got the ball and was about to pass it forward when Li Siye's horse rushed over. Li Siye swung his stick and Tian Chengsi's eyes blurred. Li Siye had intercepted the ball from under his stick.
Li Siye turned the horse's head and ran away. Li Guiren and Sun Xiaozhe rode their horses and attacked from both sides, forming a closing trend, intending to win the ball. Li Siye pulled the reins of the horse, the horse's front hooves were raised high, Wu Liu neighed, and it came to an emergency stop. , avoiding the double attack between the two. Li Siye cut across the middle, and when he was still thirty steps away from the goal, he suddenly swung his stick and hit the polo ball with great force, like a slingshot, and hit the goal. The Anxi team came out ahead again. .
When Fan Yangjun saw this, he quickly launched an offensive. The two sides went back and forth, alternating offense and defense. The score on the field rose steadily.
At the critical moment, I suddenly heard drums and music playing in unison on the field. The generals on the field reined in their horses, faced the pavilion, looked solemn, and saluted with military salutes.
The audience cheered and knelt on the ground. Before Bai Fu could recover, Yang Yichan was so anxious that she hurriedly touched the corners of Bai Fu's clothes. Only then did Bai Fu wake up and kneel on the ground with everyone else.
Then I heard Lang Lang's voice coming from the direction of the pavilion: "The saint has come to rejoice with the people... The saint has a purpose, please be kind to all your beloved princes!"
Everyone kowtowed three times before standing up.
Yang Yichan secretly glanced sideways and saw that the curtain of the pavilion was now lowered with a gauze curtain, and a person was sitting in the middle, wearing a Chu yellow robe, and next to him was a beauty in palace attire, her grace was subtle, like a fairy coming to earth.
Yang Yichan secretly thought: "These must be the saint and the noble concubine." The emperor's majesty was admired by everyone, and Yang Yichan felt very envious. Then she thought about it, she would be their bodyguard in the future, and she couldn't help but feel a little proud. Looking at Bai Fu again, Unexpectedly, he was indifferent to the arrival of Xuanzong and his entourage, and focused on the game. Yang Yichan felt an unspeakable regret in her heart.
The game on the field has now entered a feverish state, and the presence of the Holy Emperor in person is no small matter. The generals on the field are fighting bravely to be first, fighting with their lives. Losing is a small matter, but dignity is a big matter. No one wants to lose the face of their own army. This football match The battle is no longer about winning or losing, but the prestige of "The First Army of the Tang Dynasty"! It is exactly what the general said at the beginning: "The stadium is like a battlefield, it has nothing to do with life and death, it is higher than life and death!"
Fan Yangjun, An Shouzhong, Sun Xiaozhe, and Ashina Chengqing are young, energetic, and extremely brave. Cai Xide has been on the battlefield for a long time and is highly regarded by the public. Cui Qianyu and Li Guiren are skilled in pommel and horse, brave and good at fighting. Gao Miao, He Qianqian, has both wisdom and courage. He has a keen sense of smell in front of the door. Tian Chengsi, Zhang Zhongzhi, and Li Huaixian are good at attacking and defending. Fan Yang is a master of military skills and bold, and each of them succeeds frequently.
Anxi Army Feng Changqing organized and mobilized the midfield, with the overall situation in mind. Li Siye was both offensive and defensive, brave and good at fighting. Duan Xiushi was good at both civil and military skills, with erratic movements and a sword to seal the throat. Bai Xiaode was brave and strong, good at riding and shooting, could shoot left and right, and could use both hands. The ball was shot. Li Qijun was both civil and military, calm and calm, and the backbone of the defense. Ma Lin served in the army with a sword and was impassioned. Li Fei Yuanli was skilled in pommel and horse, and had extraordinary courage. Tian Zhen opened and closed, one man was in charge, and ten thousand people could not open it. Anxi The generals have known each other for a long time and cooperated with each other tacitly, resulting in several victories.
For a time, the fighting in the field became more and more intense. Horses of all colors drove side by side, and thousands of horses were silent, attacking and defending back and forth. The riders chased each other with lightning, galloping, fighting wits and courage, and turned the stadium upside down.
Anxi Army Ma Lin knocked the ball to Bai Xiaode, and Fan Yangjun Ashina Chengqing blocked it with his horse. Bai Xiaode did not dare to confront him head-on, so he used his stick and passed the ball from the air to Feng Changqing. Ashina Chengqing double
With his feet hooked in stirrups, he leaned over to reach for his stick, intercepted the polo ball in the air, and then passed the ball to Gao Miao who was beside him to support him.
Xuanzong praised: "Good riding skills!"
Bai Xiaode and Feng Changqing hurriedly stepped forward to attack. Their tall and tall horses swept away from the center of the two cavalrymen, moving away like a rabbit, gracefully and neatly.
Li Qijun let out a roar, spread out his defensive posture, and faced Gao Miao head-on. Gao Miao raised his thick eyebrows, calculated the rhythm of Li Qiyun's horse's four hooves hitting the ground, and hit the polo directly under the horse's belly, "Through the crotch!"
The audience cheered!
Li Qijun was unable to return his horse in time, and the two horses kicked off the wrong way. Gao Miao passed by him, raised his stick, and the polo ball floated into the net like a rainbow, scoring the goal.
Fan Yangjun leads by one goal again!
Xuanzong asked: "Fan Yangjun is really full of talents. I know An Shouzhong, Cai Xide, Cui Qianyu, and Ashina Chengqing. Who is this general?"
An Lushan smiled brightly and replied: "Your Majesty, this general is named Gao Miao. He is both wise and brave. He is the vanguard general of our Fanyang Army fighting against the Khitan. He leads the Gaoyang Army to garrison in Yizhou on weekdays."
Xuanzong praised: "From now on, you can see his leadership style from the way he plays. He is indeed a general with both wisdom and courage."
…
When the ball kicked off again, Anxi Army Li Siye received a pass from Feng Changqing in the middle circle and dribbled the ball like flying. Ashina Chengqing rode his horse and passed him on the right, with his stick hooked out, trying to intercept the attack. Li Siye
With a pick of the stick, he picked the polo from the right side of the horse to the left side. The stick was switched to his left hand. He controlled the ball with his left hand and continued to dribble forward without losing speed. This skill of controlling the ball was elegant and gorgeous and won the game.
Everyone cheered. Ashina Chengqing was separated by a man and a horse. He had no choice but to follow closely and kept hitting Li Siye with his horse in an attempt to regain the ball through reasonable collisions. Li Siye was tall and burly, and he also had a tall horse under his crotch.
His ability is extremely strong and he protects the ball steadily, allowing Ashina Chengqing to take no advantage at all.
When Li Siye reached fifty steps in front of the goal, two horses from the opponent galloped to defend him. Li Siye was preparing to fight one against two when he suddenly saw Duan Xiushi riding his horse, accelerating and thrusting diagonally into the midsection, just in time to penetrate behind the two horses. Li Siye was overjoyed and waved.
The stick and polo passed through the gap between Fan Yangjun's two defensive riders and went straight to Duan Xiushi. Fan Yangjun's last defensive rider, Tian Chengsi, was shocked and fiercely pounced on Duan Xiushi. Duan Xiushi did not stop the ball and hit the wall.
He passed the ball back again, just in front of Li Siye's galloping horse, and just in time to break through Fan Yangjun's last line of defense.
Li Siye easily pushed the polo into the unguarded goal with his stick. Li Siye and Duan Xiushi galloped to a place, hitting their left chests three times with their right hands to express their respect for each other. Then they waved their clubs, looked up to the sky and laughed, again
Ignite the enthusiasm of the audience!
Anxi Army also equalized the score again!
Xuanzong praised: "Youjinwu General Li Siye is still so mighty. I remember that he was the one who led the way into Sole City when he captured Xiaobolu, right?"
Gao Xianzhi smiled and said: "Your Majesty has a good memory, it's him. To this day, he still takes the lead in every battle. He bares his upper body, holds a long sword in his hand, and charges in front of the formation.
Xuanzong smiled and said: "Tell Siye that he is a general now and can no longer be a lone hero charging into battle. One person's bravery is nothing. If all the troops he leads are brave and can fight, then he is a great general."
I want him to create an invincible Mo Dao army for the Tang Dynasty!"
Gao Xianzhi burst into tears of gratitude and thanked Tian En.
