Chapter 8: Improving Melee Combat Strength

Tongbei boxing is the most basic boxing method in the army, and it took Zhang Mo three months to fight Uncle Tie.

"Young master, you have mastered the essentials of the twenty-four styles of Tongbei Boxing, and then I will teach you long boxing, which has a technique and a leg method. ”

Among them, the technique is divided into palm, fist, elbow, palm has 14 kinds of variations, including: pushing the palm, picking the palm, piercing the palm, inserting the palm, teasing the palm, splitting the palm, chopping the palm, pressing the palm, clapping the palm, bright palm, hugging the hand, tricking the hand, wrapping the hand, dancing the flower hand, etc., each move is not fixed, move with your heart. ”

"There are nine variations of boxing, including: punching boxing, splitting boxing, teasing boxing, penetrating boxing, breaking boxing, planting boxing, smashing boxing, horizontal boxing, copying boxing, etc., and I will demonstrate the essentials of each change one by one. ”

"As for the elbow method, there are five changes, including: top elbow, cross elbow, frame elbow, grid, outside grid and other changes, when you shoot, you must go with the flow, and the palm method, boxing linkage cooperation, so as to achieve a surprising effect. After speaking, Tiezhu began to demonstrate the technique, and he taught Zhang Mo every trick after he comprehended it, which made Zhang Mo very moved.

After demonstrating the technique, Tie Zhu demonstrated the leg technique again, and then let Zhang Mo practice.

Zhang Mo has the foundation of Tongbei Boxing, and it is more natural when practicing Changquan. Tong Bei Quan is not complicated by only twenty-four styles, so every fighter who enters the barracks can master it proficiently.

After Zhang Mo mastered the Tongbei Fist, the long fist drill was relatively easy. It's just that Changquan is used with both hands and feet, and the changes are unprovoked, and there are hundreds of variations, so being able to practice Changquan and being able to use Changquan in actual combat are two different things.

Tiezhu was a centurion in the army before, so he was quite powerful, and he could also master the long fist more proficiently.

After Zhang Mo practiced Changquan, his melee ability continued to improve, and if he met the black panther who was killed by the wooden stick again, he would be less embarrassed.

In the past five months, Zhang Mo has finally mastered the essentials of Changquan more proficiently.

"Young master, in addition to the back fist and long fist, I will teach you the big and small grappling hands next, you have to check it carefully!" After Tie Zhu finished speaking, he began to practice the grappling, and Zhang Mo demonstrated the opponent.

Tie Zhu asked Zhang Mo to attack him, Zhang Mo knew that with his strength, it was impossible to defeat Uncle Tie, so he attacked without hesitation.

Zhang Mo used his back punch to attack Uncle Tie, this time Uncle Tie did not stand in place and let him punch him, but reached out and pulled Zhang Mo's arm. Zhang Mo's center of gravity was unstable, and his whole body rushed forward.

The iron pillar did not stop, and when Zhang Mo dived, he stretched out a leg and tripped it. At this time, Zhang Mo did not have any possibility of counterattacking, and the whole person fell to the ground heavily.

Tie Zhu pounced on Zhang Mo's waist with a fierce tiger, and then reached out to grab his arms.

Zhang Mo's arms were locked by Uncle Tie, and the pain was unbearable at this time, let alone a counterattack.

"Stinky boy, do you want to accept it?"

"It hurts! Uncle Tie, I'm convinced!"

"Hehe, you kid is very interesting, get up!"

Tie Zhu let Zhang Mo go, then got up and let Zhang Mo get up by himself.

"Uncle Tie, this grappler should not be considered a martial artist, at most it can be regarded as an opportunistic! If I had been prepared, I would not have been easily captured by you. Obviously, Zhang Mo was unconvinced.

Tie Zhu smiled and responded, "Young Master, do you know what is the most important thing in the army?"

Zhang Mo shook his head, and Tie Zhu continued: "It's military merit! All soldiers are working hard for military merit, so how to obtain military merit requires not only force, but also skill. ”

"On the battlefield, killing an enemy and then cutting off the enemy's nose can be exchanged for a little military merit, and if you capture the enemy alive, the military merit will be multiplied tenfold. Of course, on the battlefield, few people capture ordinary soldiers alive for military merit, usually for the purpose of killing. ”

"For the generals of the enemy army, such as the commander of the ten, the centurion, the commander of the thousand, and even higher, if they can be captured alive, the military merits obtained are very rich. For example, if you kill a ten-captain, you can get ten points of military merit, and if you capture it alive, you can get one hundred points of military merit. Capturing an enemy centurion alive can be exchanged for a thousand military merits, and this is when the grappler is extremely important. ”

Zhang Mo asked with some curiosity: "Uncle Tie, how can I become our general?"

Tie Zhu said: "There are two ways to obtain generals in the army, one is royal appointment, and the other is military merit exchange. It's just that most of the people in the army have no royal background, so if you want to be a general, you must fight to kill the enemy or complete the tasks in the army. ”

"If you enter the army, you are an ordinary soldier, and if you want to become a centurion, you have to raise five hundred military merits, if you want to be promoted to a centurion, you must need five thousand military merits, and a thousand commanders need more military merits. ”

"I worked hard in the army for more than ten years, and in the end I only sat in the position of centurion, so if you join the army, you must work harder now. ”

Zhang Mo said: "Uncle Tie, is it possible to climb into a relative with the royal people, in this way, it is not easy to become a big official?"

Tie Zhu slapped Zhang Mo's head hard, "Stinky boy thinks too much, right? Who in the army doesn't want to climb power and wealth, but those people are all the result of great luck or the life and death struggle of the family seniors." ”

"In Chen State, only the surname Chen is a royal family, in addition to the royal family, there are four major royal families, the four royal families are Li, He, Zhou, Du, but unfortunately your surname is Zhang, so don't be delusional to cling to the powerful, learn your skills honestly, and you will have a place with the surname Zhang in Chen Kingdom in the future. ”

Zhang Mo was not pessimistic after hearing this, at least he knew that there were two ways to be a master, even if there was no force, he could still cling to the powerful, thinking of this, he was no longer worried about the eldest brother and the second brother.

Another half a year has passed, and Zhang Mo's big and small grapplers have become smaller.

"Young master, everything I can teach you has already been taught to you, then you need to live alone in this hundred miles of Xiling for two years, and in two years you will be fourteen years old, at that time, whether you can be generous and glorious in the family spirit vein test depends on whether you can get out of Xiling alive next!" Tie Zhu prepared his outfit for Zhang Mo, and then watched him leave.

"Uncle Tie, I will not disappoint your expectations!We'll see you in two years!" After speaking, Zhang Mo turned around and left with his bags on his back.

Zhang Mo walked through the jungle and finally disappeared from the iron pillar's field of vision.

"I don't know where this child will grow up in two years, but I hope the eldest brother's decision is right. "Tiezhu is a little worried, but he still has to carry it out.

At this moment, Zhang Yuan walked out from behind the thatched house.

"Zhuzi, I've worked hard for you all these years!" Zhang Yuan handed him a bag of dry tobacco, and the gratitude in his heart was self-evident.

"Big brother, I'm not hard, it's just that I really don't have to follow the young master? Tie Zhu still asked with some unease.

"Zhuzi, you and I are both from the past, life and death have long been downplayed, everyone has their own destiny, in this world, if you want to control your own destiny, you can only work hard. Although Zhang Mo is my son, I don't want him to be in the bag for the rest of my life. Letting him face all the difficulties alone may be the best choice. ”

"By the way, last time you said that Zhang Mo picked up a wooden stick, but you found something else?" Zhang Yuan turned his words, so that Tie Zhu didn't react for a while.

"Wooden sticks?oh, I'm sorry, big brother, I've already let the young master take it away!" Tie Zhu just wanted Zhang Mo to live well in Baili Xiling and let him take away everything that could save his life.

"Forget it, since Mo'er picked it up, he should have taken it, I'm just asking. Zhang Yuan was a little disappointed, but when he thought that it was a treasure picked up by his son, he had no intention of taking it by force.

Tie Zhu saw that Zhang Yuan was a little lost, and comforted: "Big brother, the young master is blessed with a great life, maybe that wooden stick is a strange thing for him to change his fate." ”

"Perhaps, Zhuzi, you haven't been back for a long time, come back with me, and we'll come back to greet Mo'er in two years." ”

"Big brother, I'm already used to life in the mountains, so let me wait for the young master here!"

"Pillar, you have to go back. The day before yesterday, I asked someone to inquire, and I'm afraid your old father won't be able to do it. After all these years, you don't have to blame yourself anymore. You should be filial and filial!"

After Zhang Yuan finished speaking, he looked at Tie Zhu's eyes a little blurred. I saw Tie Zhu nodded, and then walked into the grass hut, and after a while, he recovered, and then left with Zhang Yuan and rode out of the grass hut.

......

Zhang Mo was carrying a hundred-pound suit, and the whole person did not feel the slightest discomfort. When he had gone less than fifteen miles, he suddenly heard a bird chirping. Curious, he went to investigate. In the distance, Zhang Mo saw a golden eagle fighting against a giant python.

In terms of weight, the python had the advantage, but the golden eagle did not retreat, it kept flapping its wings and attacking the python with its sharp claws and beak.

Bang!

With a loud bang, the giant python's tail suddenly smashed towards the golden eagle.

It's just that the golden eagle dodged a blow from the giant python, and when the giant python was about to attack twice, the golden eagle opened its beak to peck at the body of the giant python. After coming and going, the golden eagle was not harmed, but the python had its skin open.

"Awesome! If this golden eagle is used by me, it should be much easier for me to train in Xiling next. Thinking of this, Zhang Mo immediately had an idea.

Half an hour passed, and the giant python was defeated, and finally was pecked by the golden eagle and broke the snake gall, and died with a whimper.

Zhang Mo approached the golden eagle, and just when he was about to feel successful, suddenly the golden eagle grabbed a piece of snake body and flew into the sky, which made Zhang Mo's plan fall through.

"Oh, it's a pity. Zhang Mo watched the golden eagle leave, a little regretful.

However, seeing that there was still a large section of the body of the giant python, he felt better, so he cut off a section with a dagger, and then turned around and left with his back on his back.

Two hours passed, Zhang Mo slowly advanced more than thirty miles in Xiling, at this time the sun was in the middle, and it was time for lunch. His stomach growled, so he removed the snake meat from his body, and then found some dry wood to prepare for the barbecue.

At this moment, three figures appeared in front of Zhang Mo. The two men and one woman, holding long swords, were both twelve or thirteen years old. Of the two boys, one was thin and the other was slightly fat. The girl is slim and slim, about one meter six tall. The three of them were dressed in long robes and looked a little tattered, and it seemed that they had been in the mountains for some time.

"Who are you, this is the Liang family's territory, why are you here?" The person who spoke was a thin young man.

Zhang Mo responded: "I am from Zhangjiabao, who are you? Why are you here?"

"My name is Liang Yi! ”

"My name is Liang Hong!"

"My name is Liang Yuan!"

The three teenagers reported their homes, which made Zhang Mo feel at ease. Because Liangjiabao and Zhangjiabao are not far apart, about ten miles, so they can be regarded as neighboring villages.

"My name is Zhang Mo, and I have been training here, if the three of you have nothing to do, you can share the delicious food with me here. Zhang Mo pointed to the snake section on the side and invited.

Liang Yi was a thin boy who was a little surprised when he saw that Zhang Mo actually got a piece of python meat, "Brother, you killed this python?"

Zhang Mo didn't hide it, and said truthfully: "Not long ago, I found a golden eagle fighting with a giant python, and in the end, the golden eagle won a big victory, and intercepted a piece of snake meat and left, I took the opportunity to make such a section for lunch." ”

Liang Yi said: "I'll just say, such a big python, how can Brother Zhang kill it alone! Since Brother Zhang is so polite, then the three of us brothers and sisters are not welcome." ”

Then the three of them gathered around the fire, and then watched Zhang Mo roast snake meat.
