Text Chapter Seventy-Four: See the high and low under the water and fire sticks

Huang Er's face flushed, the fall just now made him dizzy, his back and limbs were sore, and he barely got up, not knowing what to say. He saw that Mingxiong's face was not arrogant, but he came over to give a salute, and stretched out his hand to pull himself up, he was shocked and angry in his heart, and everyone around him was stunned, they didn't expect that he would be defeated so easily, Xu Huang Er laughed, took Mingxiong's hand, and stood up.

"Brother Ming's skills are very good, I am convinced this time, and I don't complain about this defeat! It's time to hand over your brother today! "Although Huang Er is good at playing tricks, he is not a tendon, he knows that he is indeed inferior to Mingxiong, and if he loses, he is defeated, and it is rare that Mingxiong is not arrogant when he wins, so he simply admits defeat generously.

Mingxiong saw that he was straightforward, and he was also happy in his heart, and the two laughed hand in hand, and their feelings were much closer.

"My lord, I am convinced of my defeat this time, and in the future, the Ming brothers in the army will have some guidance, and there will be no two words!" Huang Er made a big grin to Yu Zhilong and Zhao Shi, and actually returned to the field in a hurry, Qian Zheng squeezed his eyebrows at him, laughing at him for being ugly, Huang Er just didn't see him.

Yu Zhilong smiled slightly, although Mingxiong was able to win, it was not what he expected, but it was rare to win without arrogance. Before he could speak, the next person on the field couldn't help jumping out and said loudly: "Wait, although the Huang family brothers were defeated, they only lost in their fists and feet, and they still want to learn the kung fu of this weapon!" ”

Everyone saw that it was Wu Side.

The original scout team was the most hot, and the three who were brave and fierce were Wu Side, Huang Er, and Ma Rulong. Because of his strong combat and his ability to convince people easily, only Zhao Shi can drive him in the team, and now he naturally obeys Yu Zhilong's orders.

"Swords and guns have no eyes, in case of injury, it is not beautiful, and everyone is competing in the same field, why do you have to use weapons!" Zhao Shi frowned. "What's more, Ming Baihu has already fought with Huang Er, and the wheel war is not desirable for us."

"How could my old Wu take advantage of Brother Ming, Brother Ming can rest and drink, and fight again when his strength recovers!" Wu Side didn't care, "Besides, since it is a skill in the army, not a weapon, isn't it a joke?" ”

Zhao Shi turned his head to look at Yu Zhilong, Yu Zhilong thought for a while, knowing that he would promote Mingxiong to one hundred households in the army, and participate in the preparation of military law, drill various departments, these generals are not convinced by Mingxiong, a newcomer, today Wu Side and Huang Er came to challenge, it is not the thoughts of other generals, maybe they are pushing these two to come out to compete.

These three people came here just to coincide with their meeting, and when they saw that Mingxiong happened to be here, they invited them to fight.

Yu Zhilong looked at Mingxiong, Mingxiong knew his intentions, stepped forward and said with a smile: "It's rare that this Wu brother is interested, Ming dares to disobey!" "Last night, Wu Side and Yu Zhilong rushed together to save Mingxiong, and the two had already known each other at that time.

"The two sides compete with weapons, and it is always inevitable that they will be damaged, which is not the blessing of our army. As soon as Yu Zhilong spoke, the guards took out two water and fire sticks from behind the hall, which were the instruments for execution in the Yachatang. The water and fire sticks are about the length of the eyebrows, and half of the sticks are painted red and half black. Red is the color of fire, black is the color of water, and it is not allowed to be selfish.

Mingxiong and Wu Side each have one, and the two of them hold it, and they are relatively vigilant.

The stick is the head of a hundred soldiers, as a melee fighting weapon, since ancient times there is a saying that "the stick sweeps a large area". In terms of classification, there are two kinds of sticks: wooden and metal.

Wooden sticks include Qimei sticks, three-section sticks, two-section sticks, etc. Sticks made of metal include iron-headed sticks, muddy iron sticks, muddy copper sticks, etc. There are also iron toothed hook sticks, such as claw sticks, maces, hook sticks, etc. All dynasties and generations, whether they are military martial arts or folk martial arts, have attached great importance to sticks.

In ancient times, there was a saying of "three-point stick method and seven-point gun". The person who is good at the eyebrows said: "The stick is not more than the eyebrows, the body should follow each other, the tiger's mouth is the tiger's mouth, and the upper and lower posts are flying."

Because the Yuan court had extremely strict control over folk weapons and knives, folk martial artists mostly practiced stick methods, and it was common to compare them with sticks. The length of this water and fire stick is similar to that of the eyebrow stick, and it is suitable for use.

The two faced each other in a circle, confronted each other for less than half a pillar of incense, and at the same time rushed in, only listening to dozens of moves in ping-pong. Wu Side is a military man who became a monk halfway, wielding his brute force to his heart's content, this stick is a tiger and a tiger, even splitting and smashing, sometimes mixed with direct stabs; Mingxiong is entangled, winding, dialing, blocking, teasing, he is flexible, advancing and retreating, once he stands up to the opponent's offensive, from time to time to take the opportunity to counterattack, forcing Wu Side to have to go back to the stick to block, for a time the two of them are wonderful, and everyone can see that they are looking at the eyes.

Mingxiong thought while fighting, after all, he was tortured yesterday, he had a secret injury, and the blood scab on the surface was slightly injured, and then he fought with the official army for a long time, in order to protect the safety of his subordinates as much as possible, Mingxiong was mostly at the front, and naturally consumed the most physical strength. Today, he has been taking care of his beloved wife during the day, and he has no time to rest, and now he has fought with Huang Er and Wu Side, and after a long time, Mingxiong faintly began to feel a little difficult. This is also the reason why he mainly wraps, seals, and flirts.

Wu Side was just annoyed, he heard that Mingxiong was valued by Yu Zhilong, and he was not convinced, so he had the intention of being superior, Huang Er lost on the field, if he lost again, it would not look good in front of his brothers, but he was brave and brave, and he was still not as skilled as Mingxiong in terms of skills, no matter how he attacked, he was resolved by Mingxiong one by one.

In a hurry, it is inevitable that he will lose the rules in his hands, Ming Xiong looked at his flaws, the water and fire stick in his hand was like a python pounced on the food, suppressed the stick stabbed by Wu Side, and quickly entangled, and the stick was high in the future, and he jumped forward, turned his body and reversed from the bottom, and was sweeping between Wu Side's crotch, Wu Side's voice, lost the center of gravity, and this was going to fall.

He was in a hurry, and hurriedly returned to the stick to support, Mingxiong was unforgiving, and the water and fire stick swept again, and swept down Wu Side's wooden stick, Wu Side's wooden stick fell to the ground, he saw that he was about to touch the ground, so he had to abandon the stick, and his body turned over several times, and he supported the ground with both hands.

Wu Side still wanted to raise his head, but he heard the wind in the back of his head, shrank his head and turned to look, but it was Mingxiong who held a stick in both hands, came to an oolong cover, and hit the back of his head with a stick.

Seeing that the stick was about to reach his body, Wu Side was so shocked that he had no time to dodge, so he couldn't help but close his eyes. After a while, he didn't feel that there was any more movement, and when he opened his eyes, he saw that it was Mingxiong who stood up.

Yu Zhilong took the lead in applauding and applauding, he could see that although Wu Side was brave, he lost in skill, if the two fought for a long time, the loser would be Wu Side. As a newly attached person, Mingxiong is not easy to defeat his subordinates directly, and after all, he has not rested well for a day, and his physical strength and energy are inferior. The two of them have been entangled like this for a long time, which also gives Wu Side leeway.

"Good!" Zhao Shi shouted, he also knew Wu Side's ability, and Mingxiong's victory proved that his martial arts skills were in the forefront among the generals.

There was a cheer outside the court, and everyone was excited, no one expected that this Mingxiong's martial arts skills were so wonderful.

Mingxiong put away the stick and bowed to Wu Side. Wu Side sat up in a daze, heard the cheers of everyone in the audience, and his thoughts were churning like a tide, although he looked rude and reckless on the surface, he was a little fine, and his mind was not under Qian Zheng, otherwise he would not have encouraged Huang Er to play first.

In the fight just now, although Wu Side was mostly attacking, the stick was used like a raging storm, and he hit the head and face, but Mingxiong's stick method was delicate, soft but not weak, and the defense was impermeable, and Wu Side's hard means did not touch the corners of his clothes. He squinted at Mingxiong, only to see that part of the blood scars on Mingxiong's body due to the fight broke again, the bright red blood said that his body was slowly declining, and the light of the fire candle in the hall was not visible, he was close, and he could see clearly, and everyone in the audience was a little far away, and he couldn't notice it for a while.

In this competition, Wu Side already took advantage, and if Mingxiong's physical strength recovered, it would be even more difficult for him to win.

Wu Side thought clearly, simply threw the stick to the ground, hugged his fists and said with a smile: "Old Wu Xiang is not convinced, today I met a master, this time I am willing to bow down, I was offended just now, and I hope that Brother Ming will bear with me!" "He has made up his mind and no longer asks for a best-of-three game.

Mingxiong saw that he was so crisp and straightforward, and he also abandoned the stick, and stepped forward to salute him again, although Huang Er and Wu Side were reckless, they were not brutal, and the two of them knew the severity so much, Mingxiong was happy. He has a different identity, so he naturally does not want to be alienated by these people.

Yu Zhilong was also happy when he saw that the two sides were talking happily, and he glanced at Zhao Shi, and felt that although this Mingxiong had been a hundred households in the Yuan Court for many years, he was not arrogant, and he must be able to get along with him in the future.

The guards once again set up their seats under the hall, and the generals sat down, and on the right hand side of Yu Zhilong sat Zhao Shi, Wu Side, Huang Er, Qian Zheng, and Luo Cheng, and on the left hand side were Sun Xing, Fang Xue, and Ming Xiong.

Looking left and right, the generals saw more than half, Yu Zhilong recalled that a few days ago, he was only a hundred soldiers, and in the face of a large number of officers and soldiers, he could only look for gaps to dodge, and there was no place to stay.

Qian Zheng saw that he had finished his skills, raised his hand and asked, "My lord, I wonder what you are discussing with the leaders of each family today?" What are the plans of Master Liu? ”

Yu Zhilong couldn't help but feel a little gloomy, there was basically nothing to gain from this gathering, Liu Zhengfeng and others seemed to be a little estranged from themselves, and the most important thing was how to take care of the place at all, but how to distribute the seizures was finalized by everyone with great interest.

Seeing Yu Zhilong turn dark, Wu Side's eyes rolled, and he asked carefully: "Before you left, you said that you asked Liu Da to ask for instructions, how to deal with the prisoners, I don't know how Liu Da Da replied?" "He was more concerned about the whereabouts of the captives than the division of supplies.

Yu Zhilong was ready to choose a rider and no longer considered Zhao Shi, when the news came out, everyone felt that they had a chance, and from time to time some people privately explored the tone of Yu Zhilong and Zhao Shi.

Wu Side and Ma Rulong were the most concerned, they not only stared at the candidates for this cavalry general, but also thought about selecting a group of capable soldiers from these captives to be assigned to themselves to enhance the strength of their own troops.

Because now Yu Zhilong has nearly 2,000 soldiers, even if each 100 households team is a real 100 people, the existing number of 100 households is still seriously insufficient, listen to Zhao Shi's meaning, Yu Zhilong has the intention of forming a thousand households, each 1000 households team may prepare several 1000 households, it is estimated that five or six troops can be formed, and the cavalry is one of them, and there will be several opportunities for the allocation of 1,000 households.

In this way, whether it is a thousand households or a thousand households, the amount is only these five or six, and the competition is bound to be fierce.
