What is the level of Yan Qing's martial arts?Why does someone say that when it comes to fist and foot kung fu, he can beat Wu Song?In this article, I will analyze Yan Qing's strength for you.
First of all, in the whole book**, Yan Qing's martial arts show only two items, one is sumo, and the other is crossbow arrows.
Let's talk about his sumo wrestling first, the book describes that Yan Qing's parents died when he was a child, and he was raised by the Lu family, during which he practiced martial arts with Lu Junyi, Lu Junyi's martial arts needless to say, the author's Water Margin martial arts ceiling, Yan Qing followed such a ** to learn martial arts, and her strength will naturally not be bad.
But there is one thing that needs to be emphasized here, that is, Yan Qing's skills are mainly this sumo wrestling, because his body shape is indeed very suitable for learning. The author said that he only has a figure of about 6 feet, and according to the length of 1 foot in ancient times, the length of 1 foot is about 25cm, and the height of Yanqing is at most 1.6 meters.
Being low and flexible, Yan Qing's sumo kung fu is very good, and even in terms of hand-to-hand combat, Lu Junyi may not be his opponent, so some people think that in terms of fist and foot kung fu, Wu Song, the king of the infantry army, can't beat Yan Qing.
So is that really the case?My opinion is that Yan Qing can beat Wu Song for pure nonsense, and the reason is simple, because sumo wrestling is not exactly the same as fist and foot kung fu.
To put it bluntly, sumo wrestling is similar to wrestling, and it is not suitable for fighting on the battlefield, if Yan Qing and Wu Song are allowed to fight with their bare hands at the same time, Yan Qing will die the fastest.
If nothing else is mentioned, let Yan Qing try it with sumo wrestling and the tiger on Jingyanggang to see if he can come out alive. In fact, in the whole book, Yan Qing has never fought face-to-face with the opponent's generals on the battlefield, because his kung fu path is mainly based on dexterity, and he pays attention to four or two thousand catties.
For example, Taishan fought once, facing Ren Yuan, who was several times his body size, Yan Qing only used one trick "Pigeon Spin" to easily pounce Ren Yuan to the ground, here is to show that in the old Water Margin, Yan Qing and Ren Yuan's fight scene does not exist in the original book, in fact, the two of them are pure wrestling in the book.
Similarly, in the face of the brute force black whirlwind Li Kui, Yan Qing also threw him to the bottom with wrestling, but this does not mean that Yan Qing has the strength to crush Li Kui, if Li Kui is allowed to take the board axe, Yan Qing will definitely be defeated.
In addition, Yan Qing also has a record of angrily falling Gao Yu, which is specially named in the book, Yan Qing performed the "Guarding the Fight" stunt, plus the "pigeon spin" used when falling Renyuan, it can be seen that Yan Qing is a sumo wrestler who pays attention to skills, of course, there is also strength.
It is written in the original book of Ren Ren: Yan Qing put Ren Yuan up straight, top-heavy, and used his strength to change four or five spins.
It means that the personnel were lifted into the air and turned four or five times, according to the body shape of the personnel, to say the least, there must be more than 200 catties, Yan Qing can have this kind of performance, this strength is already quite large, but it is still very bad compared to Wu Song's one-handed throwing of 500 catties of stone piers.
And in terms of skills, Wu Song can also use mandarin duck feet and jade ring steps, so no matter from which point of view, Yan Qing will not be able to beat Wu Song, but Yan Qing has another thing that Wu Song does not have, which is the crossbow arrow that I will talk about for you next.
In addition to the purchase restrictions, Yan Qing also makes good use of crossbow arrows, and the same arrows as Hua Rong's bow and arrows are not in vain, when Lu Junyi was assassinated by Dong Chao and Xue Ba, Yan Qing who hid in the forest saved Lu Junyi with two arrows.
Later, Liangshan attacked Dongchang Mansion, Yan Qing first shot Zhang Qing's war horse with an arrow, rescued Hao Siwen, and then shot Zhang Qing's deputy general Ding Desun, resulting in Ding Desun being captured alive. When fighting for the Great Liao, Yan Qing directly shot the Great Liao general Yelu Zongyun with a crossbow arrow, and his tactical influence was so strong that it was jaw-dropping.
However, compared to Huarong's bow and arrow, crossbow arrows have a short range and low rate of fire, and it is also a more troublesome thing to charge arrows, which leads to a bad chance of frontal shooting.
It can be said that on the same width of the queue, crossbowmen need more firing space than archers, so this skill can only be used to plot against others, as for a hundred steps through Yang, it will definitely not be possible.
Speaking of this, you can directly make a conclusion about Yan Qing's strength, Yan Qing's martial arts are not first-class, they can only be regarded as an average level, he does not have the ability to cross the battlefield like Guan Sheng and Lin Chong, let alone the type of brute force like Li Kui.
His martial arts are mainly won by skill, and his best sumo wrestling is not the kind of Kohi, but a bit like the judo nature of this kind of hand-to-hand martial arts.
Therefore, in terms of combat power value, Yan Qing can only be ranked in the middle and lower ranks in Liangshan, and being included in the ranks of Tiangang is purely based on nepotism.
