Vol 2 Chapter 99: Decisive battle: Mamluk (below)

Although in the history of human civilization and history of war, black people have long appeared as a background board, but in the history of black people, there has also been an invincible army: the Mamluk light cavalry under the control of the Arabs!
Although this light cavalry has not existed for a long time, and lacks rigorous inheritance and tactical skills, it has strict tactical discipline, a combat style that is not afraid of death, and even Mamluk warriors are not armored and often shirtless. Upper body, holding two knives or spears to fight. Although for the Arab merchants who ruled the whole of North Africa at that time, Mamluk slave cavalry was just a consumable item. But this style used in the finals had unexpected effects!
After the finals, you can rest as much as possible without the huge damage of one-time use. Second, the football field is not a battlefield after all, it is far from being so wide!
The light attack style of Chinese players, although it can minimize the burden of body collision, but it is impossible to dodge endlessly, especially when the opponent deliberately makes frequent physical collisions. The Chinese Hussars need a wide battlefield to function.
Why is there no Chinese-style military thought in Europe? Because European countries are usually too small, Hitler can destroy a country in a week, so their military thinking has no other way than to fight hard. And the largest ancient Roman in European history is a maritime country, so Europeans or whites are more familiar with naval battles than land warfare. The same reason applies to Japan. The country is small and lacks circuitous space. Even if it grows after accepting Chinese military ideas, it also lacks a place to use it. As for why Japan almost destroyed China during the Anti-Japanese War, because its main opponent was the National Revolutionary Army established by Western military thought, which was completely a one-war battle mode: dig a horizontal trench, barbed wire in front, and buried Mine, light and heavy machine gun, waiting for the enemy to come to death! However, Japan has exerted a little bit of Chinese-style military thinking, that is, attracted positively and flanked by two wings! That's it! The National Government lost most of China. Even if all the equipment in the later period is all American, it is still a defeat. Of course, Japan's operational thinking is incomplete. The true renaissance of Chinese military thought was after the librarian at Peking University from researching thoughts to studying military affairs.
The football field is much wider than the basketball field, but after all, it is impossible to make unlimited detours, which greatly limits the use of the light attack style tactical thinking, forcing the Chinese youth to completely avoid the positive contact between players. And Mamluk's decisive style in Nigeria just happened to restrain the tactical play of the Chinese state.
Of course, Nigeria is not good. Although the tactical system is difficult to operate, the Chinese team has not collapsed and is still playing tenaciously. And this extremely sharp play poses a huge threat to Nigeria. At the same time, although the average age is two years younger in China, the younger players on the stage are basically first-stage youngsters. Except that Wang Ai and Zeng Cheng are significantly younger, most of them are of the same age and have physical fitness. The gap is not to the point of "bullying children". Frequent physical collisions are also a great burden on Nigerian players. After all, their quarterfinals and quarter-finals are all in the end. Far from the Chinese team, they can even give the next country less training.
The game went through the first twenty minutes of the first half with a little rudeness and anxiety.
Wang Ai couldn't count how many times he had been hit by Opa. In order to control the ball, Wang Ai had to allocate a large amount of physical energy to use against the opponent, although the referee Batista had warned Opa twice, however , And who shouldn't. Poor physical fitness can't blame others for their good physical fitness.
Although no Chinese players were injured or even quarrels occurred between the players on both sides, after all, Nigerian players are very civilized. This is a tactical choice, but they did not intentionally hurt. But the Chinese youths are quite exhausted. This is still in the situation where Wang Ai is driving everyone to practice physical fitness, otherwise, it is long over, at least now, China has not conceded a goal!
In order to alleviate the pressure of physical confrontation, the Chinese team had to slow down the attack rhythm to strengthen the accuracy of the attack. Teammates made a series of short passes to ease the collision of the body, and also patiently searched for attack opportunities.
However, just as good luck eventually runs out, when the full-back Chinese defender is inadvertent, after all, his personal ability is slightly weaker, and he is totally dependent on the overall operation. When the overall tactical system of the team is about to collapse In the comprehensive confrontation between the two teams from thought to system, from intelligence to physical, the Nigerian team scored first.
In the 27th minute of the first half, Yang Fusheng made a mistake and was caught by Brown. He led the ball to block Zhou Haibin's interception. Before Guo Liang had made his replacement, he shot hard, despite Zeng Cheng's efforts to make a save. I also judged the right direction, but the ball was very heavy and extremely fast.
0: 1!
Under the serious gaze of Lao Gao on the sidelines, the Chinese elementary school had not waited for a response, and then kicked off again. Then in the fast break in Nigeria, a cold arrow was suddenly applied at the front of the penalty area, and China's goal fell again. .
0: 2!
In less than three minutes, China has been broken twice!
Wang Ai gasped on the court and comforted a few backcourt players. Fortunately, this country's offensive power was the best, but the number of goals conceded was also the first in history, and they were used to it. It was still very calm and didn't panic.
After kicking off, the Nigerian team slowed down a little bit. In addition to being very tired, the Chinese nation is anxious. Their bullying tactics are so interesting that the Chinese state has not attacked and used hurting tactics. After scoring two goals in a row, Zhao Xuri of the Chinese team began to shovel.
When it comes to physical fitness, Zhao Xuri is the number one in this class of young people, and he is also one of the hardest-working people. Others' physical fitness, including Zhou Haibin, can only be ranked second, not to mention Chen Tao and Wang Ai, Chen Tao is flexible, but Wang Ai is young.
When Zhao Xuri's eyes were red looking for someone to change his life, Nigeria, who was already leading and also very tired, shrank wisely.
The Chinese team began to use this time to attack. However, Wang Ai was helpless to find that both speed forward Cao Di and point forward Dai Qinhua could hardly seize the opportunity when facing a Nigerian defender with a significantly higher physical fitness.
In a word, can't hold the ball! Even if I barely hold it, I can't control my feet.
Time slowly passed, and the first half of the game, which was not beautiful, ended, and the Chinese youth returned to the locker room in silence.
