Chapter Twenty-Eight: Learning the Sword
What should a true swordsmanship genius look like?
The first thing that came to Rofal's mind was that he had met a man he had seen in the army as an instructor in the past, who was said to have just graduated from the non-commissioned officer academy and entered the army. Those warriors who have survived a hundred battles, their swords often do not play according to the routine, simple and effective, that kid only learned and integrated the swords of these warriors in a week.
In the annual martial arts competition in the near future, with his superb swordsmanship, he always wielded a key sword that would attack him and come first, defeating those opponents who were stronger than him in strength and speed.
I met an interesting guy today, I don't know how to run to the restaurant, I am ashamed that I am a rare swordsmanship genius, to be honest, the sword is still good, the hand is very stable, and it is also very accurate, if it is a ten-year-old child, it will be amazing, but sir, you look at least twenty up, only such a level dare to claim to be a genius?
I still miss being an instructor in the army. As long as the soldiers at the bottom of the army know how to swing a sword and cut people, it is not required that everyone master a good swordsmanship, when serving as an instructor in the army, the person sent to him must at least be trained as a captain, and he has been screened once, and in general, the talent is definitely not bad.
Where is it like leaving the army later to become an adventurer, during which I met many new adventurers, there are all kinds of crooked melons and cracked dates, there are many talented people, how clumsy people are, I don't want to not listen, I don't want to learn, I don't practice, some people use the sword for several years and swing it out with a sword and still get rid of it.
In short, before driving people out, ask casually - you have been learning swords for a few years, and you have been learning swords for a month...... Wait, a month? Did I hear me right?
I don't know what the level of those real swordsmanship geniuses is to learn swords for a month, think about what level I learned swords for a month...... I still don't want to have that black history.
"You really only have been learning swords for a month?" Just put the sword away, and before he could stand up straight, Rofal turned his head and asked.
"yes, a month." De Yulan thought to himself, after coming to this world to touch the sword for the first time, he made up his mind to do something and began to practice the sword, and it was a month at most until now.
"Didn't lie to me?" Rofal stared at De Youlan closely, his gaze was sharp, don't try to hide from him with a little movement, the lie will be exposed at once.
The body is not afraid of the shadow crooked, De Yulan said: "I didn't lie to you. ”
"How old are you?" Rofar couldn't help but ask.
De Youlan reported a number.
"The aristocracy decided to let their children learn swords, and it was normal to start practicing swords from the age of five. Ordinary people decided to let their children learn swords, and they started at the age of eight. You're so old, and now you're telling me to practice swords for a month, so many years you'...... What did you do? Rofar couldn't help but burst into foul language, thinking that if he changed to his former irascible colleagues, maybe it would be a sentence - you have lived to a dog for so many years?
De Youlan smiled bitterly, and he said, "My situation is a bit special. ”
Rofar didn't talk nonsense either, he picked up his sword again.
"How many kinds of swords are there, stabbing swords, flame swords, broadswords...... I won't go into details."
"You use a two-handed broadsword...... "A sword with his right hand grasping the hilt, his left index and middle fingers sliding together over the shiny blade, and then flexing his fingers over the sword, Rofal said, "A sword is roughly divided into two parts, the hilt and the blade. The hilt of the sword consists of three parts: the handle, the handguard and the shank. The blade is the main part of the attack, and it can be divided into two halves. A strong sword body refers to the hilt to the middle of the sword, and a weak sword body refers to the sword body from the middle of the sword to the tip of the sword. The strength and weakness here do not refer to the strength and weakness of the sword, but rather the fact that the strong sword body is not easy to push away when blocking, and the weak sword body moves faster and has an advantage when you attack. ”
Rofar grasped the hilt of the sword with both hands and said, "When holding the sword, hold it on the hilt near the handguard, and the other hand can be held at the back of the hilt, or it can be grasped directly at the hilt. ”
"The thumb of the right hand is often placed on the body of the sword when holding the sword, which can provide better control in many technical movements, and the thumb must be used for certain chopping movements."
"In fact, different masters have different opinions on how to grip the handle, and one master said that when fighting, you should always hold the hilt itself rather than the handle, and he explained it this way - your chopping should be both powerful and precise, and you should let the shank rotate freely during the chop, so that the blow will be more powerful, and if you hold on to the shank, the power and fluidity of the chop will be affected." Rofar said as he demonstrated.
"There are also masters who think that the handle should be grasped with the left hand, which can provide more powerful blows." Rofal changed his grip on his sword.
"The hammer grip is good for large and continuous swings, the thumb grip is to hold the sword face with the thumb, which is good for controlling the blade, and the index finger grip, which is actually more common in swift swords...... There are as many ways to hold as there are schools of swordsmanship. ”
"Swordsmanship is something that masters and geniuses have summed up after killing countless people, and mastering these swordsmanship can make you stronger quickly. Now, I'm going to teach you a few basic attack moves in military swordsmanship. "Whether a person is gifted or not is difficult to judge at once, and Rofar decided to take the simplest, even if it is somewhat inaccurate.
"The foundation is the foundation, and if the foundation is not good, the high-rise buildings will not be able to rise. A basic action covers a lot of detailed actions, if a detail is not handled well, it is easy to have flaws, and then parrying, counterattack is prone to problems. Look closely, look at it. ”
Rofal let out a loud shout and swung his sword at the humanoid training stake, explaining the key points and points of these movements as he demonstrated.
De Yulan watched Rofal swing his sword, slashing, sweeping, and stabbing quickly and rapidly, feeling that his eyes were overwhelmed, remembering the posts he had read on the Internet before, and finally believing it.
Western swords are not bulky and are accustomed to using brute force rather than skill. If you are willing to take the time to read the swordsmanship treatises or manuscripts of that time, in these writings you will be able to get a glimpse of some of the most sophisticated and effective martial arts techniques that can be used in life-and-death struggles, and you will no longer have the same old thoughts, and some misunderstandings and prejudices will disappear at once.
After demonstrating all the moves a few times, Rofar put away his sword and asked, "Do you see clearly?" Would you like me to show you a few more times? "How good is the eyesight, how is the memory, how many moves can be learned, and to what extent, the advantages and disadvantages of a person's swordsmanship talent are clear at a glance.
De Youlan used to think that it must be the reason why the character created at the beginning had a strong talent, when it was so easy to swing a sword, as long as his eyes saw it, he thought that he could cut it with a sword, and after a short period of training, he could cut it wherever he wanted.
By now, he is completely sure that the character he created in the first place has a strong talent, and he definitely didn't have this eyesight before, and he still has such a good memory and comprehension ability. This time, what Rofar said, he remembered clearly, and the other party's movements could be seen clearly.
"I'll give it a try."
De Yulan swung his sword, repeated the attack he had learned, and asked, "How is it?" ”
Rofal picked his scalp, hey, you come to entertain me, you must have practiced it before. Lao Tzu practiced for a week and practiced the basic movements proficiently, how long have you been learning? He was silent for a moment and said, "Nothing is a big problem. ”
Rofal was uneasy and asked again: "You really only practiced the sword for a month?" ”
"Yes, only for a month." De Yulan smiled lightly, the character controlled by the player in the game basically learned the skills once, and it didn't seem that he had much of a problem.
Rofal raised his sword again.
"T-steps and alternating steps are the most basic footwork."
"Some people like to attack and they forget that the most important thing is that they survive in real combat. It's one thing to put your own safety aside and concentrate on attacking your opponents, but it's another thing to defeat your opponents while being able to get out of the way. Those who only pursue striking will never be able to possess superb swordsmanship, so let me teach you a few basic defensive moves. ”
By the time De Juran repeated it perfectly, Rofal felt the sun dazzle a little.
"Is that how the T-step goes?"
"So that's how you cut it?"
"I thought it was so difficult, it seemed easy."
"Hurry up, Deyulan, let's give it a try."
Waiting until Weine, who had been standing by and watching, repeated everything perfectly, De Yulan was not surprised, he knew how talented the little girl was, Rofal looked at such a childless little girl, a little girl, he really felt a little confused, is it so easy to demonstrate these things by himself?
Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?
