Chapter 62: School Contest (Part II)
The brigade commanders are more capable, and this kid will die faster, but it's a pity that he will lose a strong general. Xia Houde had already made up his mind, once the other party killed Fang Xiaoyu, he only needed to punish that person to get rid of himself. Thinking that planning was more secure, Xia Houde smiled: "Of course you can, then challenge the brigade commander." ”
Xia Houde is very confident in the brigade commander level, although these brigade commanders are all in their forties, but the strength under their hands is definitely stronger than those regiment commanders in their thirties. The forties are the most youthful and vigorous time, and the strength is not much worse than that of the thirties in the prime of life, and the experience is more old, which is definitely not easy to provoke.
Xiahoude confidently waved the regiment commanders back, and let the forty-five brigade commanders step forward and said: "This is all the brigade commanders of our garrison, you can choose." Fang Xiaoyu glanced at these strong men and said, "May I ask which one is the brigade commander of the Ninth Brigade?" Listening to Fang Xiaoyu's words, Xiahoude's smile was even better, and one of the most sturdy men walked out and said, "I am Dong Chao, the commander of the Ninth Brigade, you want to challenge me?" Fang Xiaoyu nodded and said, "Yes, I want to challenge you." ”
Dong Chao looked at Fang Xiaoyu, who was still a minor, contemptuously and said, "You are too thin, I don't want to compete with you." Fang Xiaoyu smiled: "That's fine, as long as you admit defeat, you don't need to compete." ”
"What did you say?" Dong Chao was a rough man, and he was promoted to brigade commander only by fighting bravely, and he was a little angry when Fang Xiaoyu was so provoked. He said: "If you lose, don't say I'm a bully." Fang Xiaoyu smiled: "Where is there so much nonsense, if you want to compete, you can come." After speaking, Fang Xiaoyu also made a gesture of please, and seeing that the competition was about to start, Xia Houde and the other brigade commanders retreated to the stage.
Although Dong Chao is a rough man, his rich combat experience tells him not to despise his opponent at any time, even if the opponent looks quite weak, otherwise it will be suicide. He forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, closed his two fists in front of his chest, and kept changing his pace under his feet, looking for Fang Xiaoyu's flaws.
Fang Xiaoyu stood in place, his left fist straightened, his right fist tucked in his waist, and he stood in a lunge under his feet, posing in a standard starting style of Bajiquan, looking calm and relaxed. Seeing Fang Xiaoyu's posture, Dong Chao was a little stunned, he didn't expect this kid to really have two hits. Although he was surprised by Fang Xiaoyu's strange posture, Dong Chao was unmoved, a soldier is not allowed to hesitate and be timid, because there is no difference between hesitation and timidity on the battlefield and looking for death.
The so-called "Wen has Taiji to calm the world, and Wu has eight poles to determine the world". 'Eight poles' means that the strength can reach all directions and extreme distances. Its movements are simple and concise, strong and crisp, and the feet are vigorous. Originally spread in the area of Qingyun, Cangzhou, Hebei, Shandong, it is a local boxing species, and the founder is Qingyun Wu Zhong in the early years of the Qing Dynasty.
Open door Bajiquan is famous for its fierce and violent boxing style, but also for its body-to-body and leaning moves, close combat is the strength of Bajiquan. With the breadth and profundity of Chinese martial arts, how can Dong Chao, an old man who has never undergone systematic training, understand, after carefully looking at it for a long time, Dong Chao couldn't see any mystery in Fang Xiaoyu's posture, he thought that the other party was bluffing, and decided to take the initiative.
The moves of the soldiers are all about knocking down the opponent with the least physical strength consumed in the shortest time, which is the only way to save life on the battlefield, and Dong Chao is no exception, he made progress with his body, and hit the face of Fang Xiaoyu with his left fist. Fang Xiaoyu saw the opportunity to stretch out his right hand and stiffen Dong Chao's left fist, and at the same time stomped closer, and the left fist hit straight to Dong Chao's right chest. Fortunately, Dong Chao also came prepared, seeing Fang Xiaoyu punching out his right fist, the two punched each other firmly, each took five steps back, and at the moment of retreating, Fang Xiaoyu raised his left foot and used a move to 'rub and kick'.
In Bajiquan's lower plate kung fu, 'rubbing and kicking' is one of the important leg techniques. Open the door Bajiquan pays attention to "walking like mud, feet are not knees". The kick is a reflection of this footwork, requiring the kick to be aimed below the opponent's knee, especially the foot. Therefore, although the kick is not as lethal as other leg methods, it is intended to destroy the opponent's center of gravity with kicks, and skillfully achieve the effect of knocking down the opponent with weak strength. Therefore, although they retreated as far as they could, Fang Xiaoyu's strength was lost, and Dong Chao retreated because he was kicked to the ankle by Fang Xiaoyu and his center of gravity was unstable.
Even so, those people in the audience can't see clearly, and even if they do, no one understands the mysteries of Chinese martial arts. Feng Shichang and the others saw that Fang Xiaoyu and Dong Chao were fighting hard for half a catty, and their hanging hearts were also relaxed. There was a slight pain in his ankle, and Dong Chao didn't need to look at it to know that his ankle must be bruised and swollen.
Dong Chao, who was made by Fang Xiaoyu's yin move, was completely furious, and he had already tried out the opponent's strength just now, which was slightly inferior to his own. Although he was a little surprised that this child's strength was so great, Dong Chao, who had always believed that strength was everything, had no scruples about this opponent whose strength was not as good as his own.
Dong Chao used force under his feet, leaned forward, and with the shift of the center of gravity, he quickly rushed forward, and the two iron fists struck Fang Xiaoyu one after the other, and his fierce and swift moves made the officers watching below secretly frightened.
Seeing Dong Chao rushing over, Fang Xiaoyu didn't want to drag the mud and water too much, after all, he was still a child, although he was much stronger than ordinary children under the stimulation of bioelectricity, and his strength was not at a loss, but he was definitely inferior to his opponent in terms of endurance, so he decided to make a quick decision.
Many people think that the 'inch strength' of Bajiquan is one of the tricks, but in fact, the trick of Bajiquan is not 'inch strength' but 'sticking to the mountain'. When the disciples of the Eight Poles of the Open Door practice "leaning against the mountain", they often use their bodies to lean against the wall, against the tree, and against the pile, and when they practice to the depths, they can even fall against the wall and fold the tree, which can be imagined how powerful it is.
The key to leaning on the mountain when making a move is to get in, approach the opponent at a distance of "hitting someone like a kiss", and hit the opponent with the shoulder. It seems to use the shoulder as the force point, but in fact, it combines the twisting force of the waist and hips, and leans towards the other party with the strength of the whole body, giving people great damage and falling people down.
The so-called 'open the door, six forces in one', the strength of the six openings, in the opening of the door Bajiquan 'sticking to the mountain', can be said to be vividly displayed, for such a stunt Fang Xiaoyu is naturally often practiced, on the boat he often takes the mast as the practice object, and practices hard 'sticking to the mountain', and now it is also a small achievement, although it has not reached the point of falling against the wall, but it is enough to deal with this reckless man.
Dong Chao, who was already close, saw that Fang Xiaoyu was still not moving, but a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, although he felt that something seemed to be wrong in his heart, but with Dong Chao's cognition, this kid was dead. Just when Dong Chao's fists were about to exert force but did not exert force, Fang Xiaoyu suddenly became short, and then stomped close again, twisted his hips and waist, gathered the strength of his whole body, and his shoulders hit Dong Chao's chest like a cannonball.
Dong Chao, who was slammed, felt as if he was hit head-on by a high-speed car (of course, if he knew the car), and his whole body flew out of the school review platform like a kite. Dong Chao's ribs broke one after another at that moment, and when he fell under the stage, he had already fainted.
The situation on the field changed abruptly, and Dong Chao, who originally had the upper hand, was actually hit hard by Fang Xiaoyu, a young man who was less than fourteen years old, and was directly knocked out of the field within two moves, which made all the officers present in an uproar. And Dong Chao, who was seriously injured and unconscious, also once again verified the adage of 'If you don't go to the top of the eight poles, you will die and be injured if you go up', of course, no one in this world knows the Baji Boxing, and no one knows the sentence of the Dao.
Fang Xiaoyu, who was smiling, turned around and said to Xiahou De, who was already pale: "Commander Xiahou, can I serve as the brigade commander of the Ninth Brigade?" Although Xia Houde didn't want to admit it, he was too full of words before, and now he was helpless.
Looking at Dong Chao, who was still in a coma, Xia Houde reluctantly squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth: "Of course, from today onwards, you will be the brigade commander of the Ninth Brigade of the Third Division of the First Army of the garrison." After saying this order, Xia Houde didn't even say anything more, and left without looking back. Fang Xiaoyu, accompanied by Feng Shichang and the other four, left the school with a smile, and behind him was the admiring eyes of the officers.
Feng Shichang took Fang Xiaoyu back to the station of the Ninth Brigade and immediately ordered everyone to assemble. The three regiment commanders of the Ninth Brigade looked at Fang Xiaoyu with gloomy faces, they were also present just now, so they naturally knew the whole story. The soldiers in line looked curiously at Fang Xiaoyu, who was standing in front of the three regiment commanders, and didn't know what was going on. Fang Xiaoyu smiled and said, "Hello, soldiers. From today onwards, I will be your new brigade commander. The soldiers listened to Fang Xiaoyu's words and immediately began to discuss. Feng Shichang shouted: "Don't make noise. Feng Shichang's prestige was still very high, and when he heard his reprimand, the team immediately fell silent.
