286 Knowing the Oriental sword and the Oriental sword
(Cat flutter Chinese) He Xiaojun, who observed the fight scene for a while, saw that Magnolia lost not martial arts in this fight, but the weapons and strength in his hands.
Because the dagger in her hand is a light weapon, and her own strength is not comparable to the other party, she does not dare to take the opponent's heavy weapon, but only adopts small moves such as cutting, dialing, and pointing, and relies on flexible body methods to confront the opponent, which greatly limits her martial arts performance and makes her fall behind.
The person who fought Magnolia was a Japanese man who was too young to play. It seemed that the Japanese man was only about fifteen or sixteen years old, and he still looked childish.
From the situation of the two sides, He Xiaojun also saw that the young Japanese did not have a lot of experience in fighting, and the use and connection of moves were jerky and sluggish. However, from this person's skillful use of moves and strength, it can be seen that this person's skills are not weak.
And the Japanese who had been watching from the sidelines was a middle-aged man in his forties. From the arrogant look of that man, He Xiaojun estimated that he was a high-ranking person.
After carefully observing the words and deeds of the middle-aged Japanese and the young Japanese, He Xiaojun determined that the two were conducting a live teaching. Because, every time the young Japanese made a mistake, the middle-aged man had to grunt, and then the young man responded respectfully.
This situation shows that a middle-aged Japanese is at least his superior, if not a young Japanese's elder. At least, middle-aged Japanese have higher kung fu than younger Japanese.
After noticing this situation, He Xiaojun was even more shocked. The young Japanese have already killed Magnolia, who is higher than himself, and there is an even more powerful one beside him, even if he wants to save Magnolia, he is powerless.
It may be to let the young Japanese practice, or it may be for another purpose, the Japanese are now playing a game of cat and mouse on Magnolia, and they don't want to kill her, otherwise, don't say that the master who is watching is out of the horse, it is the young one who works harder, and I believe that Magnolia's situation will be worrying.
Seeing that Magnolia was in danger of not being able to live for the time being, He Xiaojun hurriedly paid attention to the weapons and kung fu of the Japanese.
He Xiaojun, who came from the era of information explosion in his previous life, although he had not seen the weapons and kung fu used by the Japanese in front of him, he still knew that this Japanese used the Oriental knife and the Oriental knife method, because, from all kinds of information in his previous life, he had dabbled in these two things.
The Oriental samurai sword, also known as the Plane Shattered Forge Compound Dark Light Pattern Blade, is one of the three most famous blades in the world. This kind of knife has a long history and has a long reputation, in the Northern Song Dynasty, the literati Ouyang Xiu once gave a poem "Japanese Sword Song" to praise this knife.
Toyo knives are known for their sharpness and good steel.
In the movie "Bodyguard" in Hollywood, there is a plot of using a Japanese knife to sensationalize: a scarf floats down and breaks into two after touching the Japanese blade. It can be seen that the sharpness of the Toyo sword is that the steel quality of the world-famous Toyo sword is also world-famous. He Xiaojun, who is a mechanic, knows that there is such a record: He Xiaojun, who is a fan of the samurai army, also watched a video: The US military fired a Japanese knife at a distance of about 30 meters from a 12.7MM2HB heavy machine gun, and the Japanese knife withstood the first two bullets, and the third bullet was interrupted. M2HB can still shoot through 60 cm thick soil at 600 meters. This shows the quality of Japanese swords.
Even Xu Shiyou, a famous Chinese general who is famous for his bravery and good at fighting and using broadswords, is particularly fond of Japanese swords, and he personally has a collection of more than ten Oriental swords.
When He Xiaojun was dealing with Magnolia, he had seen the dagger she carried with him, and he knew that the dagger was in good condition, but now, with a sharp eye, he saw the dagger in Magnolia's hand, and every time he came into contact with the opponent's knife, as long as the strength was stronger, it would be cut out of a gap.
He Xiaojun, who has had a strong interest in various weapons since he was a child, had checked the information in his previous life and knew that Oriental swords were divided into several types according to their shape and size, such as Taidao, Dadao (knife), Wakicha (Waki), and short knife.
Taidao: Generally longer than the knife, the blade is also more curved, and it is mostly used in horse warfare.
Knife: also known as hitting knife, it is generally shorter than the knife and the curvature of the blade is also lower. The length is more than 60cm.
Waki: Also known as waki, it refers to a knife with a length of 30cm to 60cm.
Short knife: A knife with a length of less than 30 cm. In addition, knives made by the flat manufacturing method of 30 cm or more but without a blade are often classified as short knives.
Now the Japanese who fought with Magnolia was holding a fighting knife, and he still had a short knife hanging from his body. The Japanese who did not shoot also carried two knives, a knife hanging from his waist on the left side of his body, and a wakicha hanging from his waist on the right side.
He Xiaojun noticed that the Japanese who was against Magnolia, except that his posture of holding the sword with both hands was different from that of common Chinese martial arts, there was nothing special about him, and his moves came and went only a few times. Didn't you say that Toyo's sword skills are great? How are these simple tricks?
However, after He Xiaojun watched it carefully, he saw a little way.
One is that this Japanese man has extraordinary foot work. Although the Japanese knife technique came and went only a few moves, his footwork was very exquisite, and with the knife technique in his hand, it was practical and powerful.
From the footwork in front of him, He Xiaojun remembered some records he had read, including the footwork of the Oriental people with knives, such as "jumping left and right, strange and deceitful", "rampant fighting, fluttering like the wind", "long knife, the system of Japanese slaves, very conducive to step, unprepared in ancient times" and so on.
From the records of these ancients, it has been seen that footwork is the focus of Japanese swordsmanship.
The second is that the long knife used in both hands has the characteristics of both long and short weapons, so it is difficult to deal with both long and short weapons. The so-called "short instrument is difficult to connect, long instrument is not short", "long to degree, short to tend to cross, squatting to step, retreat to fall, arm in the wrist, pick to hide skimming" He Xiaojun also saw the killing moves in the Oriental knife method, one is to split, the other is to stab, the technique is simple and rigorous, the strength is full and smooth, there is no common trick in Chinese martial arts, and the moves are simple and practical.
Since coming to this other world to learn martial arts, He Xiaojun has also systematically come into contact with several commonly used weapons in the quintessence of China. Moreover, his habit of being good at summarizing and summarizing allowed him to summarize the advantages and disadvantages of Oriental swords, Oriental swordsmanship and swords commonly used in Chinese martial arts in a short period of time.
The traditional Chinese sword is good for straight stabs, but not good for chopping, and because of the narrow length and thin design on both sides, it is easy to break. Traditional Chinese broadswords are good for chopping, but the blade is bulky and not conducive to carrying and stabbing directly. Oriental knives are the best of the best, sharp and sharp, and designed to be easy to break and easy to carry.
And what about the Oriental knife method? It not only carries forward the traditional advantages of Chinese swordsmanship, but also abandons the shortcomings of later generations of Chinese swordsmanship, which is "vain and empty, in order to look good in front of people", and creates a Japanese-style swordsmanship with simple and strict techniques and full and smooth strength.
He Xiaojun also noticed that Japan's use of sword techniques made full use of the terrain and space to give full play to the characteristics of man's own fighting, and used a set of extremely rapid and flexible steps to combine the swift and swift slashing and killing of the drifting and turbulent with the light and swift advance and retreat. In addition, the equipment is sophisticated, so that the technology and weapons complement each other.
He Xiaojun finally came to the conclusion that the Japanese sword in front of him, which seemed to come and go with only a few moves, was conducive to fighting and was more practical than ordinary Chinese martial arts.
It's not that the ancients once said, "The Japanese sword is only three or two blows, and often people can't resist it, so the skill of the knife can be known", "Its people are rampant and fighting, fluttering like the wind; Often with a single knife into battle, five soldiers are not royal. …… Pig crab run, 10,000 people are easy, and the stunt in the real island is also".
These ancient records all record the benefits and disadvantages of the Oriental sword.
He Xiaojun also saw that the Oriental sword used by the young Japanese should be maintained frequently, so that the knife can be kept bright and sharp, and it can be decisive and tough when fighting, and at the same time it shines in the sunlight, causing a psychological deterrent effect on the other side.
Although, after a short period of observation, He Xiaojun, who is well-informed in contemporary times, saw the characteristics of Oriental swords and knife techniques, but he couldn't think of a way to crack it.
The best way to deal with such a simple kung fu as the Oriental sword method is to use softness to control rigidity, but since the Oriental sword is not an ordinary sharpness, it is difficult to go this way without a flexible weapon that can resist its sharpness.
Another way is to overcome the gang with gang. With the premise of overcoming Ganggang, it is also a weapon, He Xiaojun knew that in order to fight against the samurai sword of Little Japan, the 29th Army specially created a thick big knife with a thick back, which was used to shake it hard, and the effect was good. But where did He Xiaojun have such a weapon at hand at this time?
He Xiaojun's self-made soft steel whip can be regarded as a weapon that combines rigidity and softness, the problem is that he has never practiced or touched a weapon like the Oriental sword, and he doesn't know if he doesn't shoot, then how can he find a way to rescue the Magnolia who is already out of sight?
Just when He Xiaojun was nervously thinking about whether he should make a move, a situation that he had just neglected made the situation on the scene suddenly change, causing him to have to make a move, and creating the first danger after his debut in martial arts. Cat flutter Chinese
