Wu Song's fight against the tiger is one of the most famous clips in the Water Margin, so is it reasonable for Wu Song to fight the tiger? Let's look at it from a scientific point of view.
Let's first take a look at what Wu Song did before fighting the tiger. Before Wu Song fought the tiger, he ate four catties of beef and drank eighteen bowls of wine in the hotel in Jingyanggang. Four catties in ancient times is equivalent to five catties now, far exceeding the amount of food of ordinary people, that is to say, Wu Song's food is very large, but Wu Song's figure is very symmetrical, and there is no fatness, so the energy he usually converts from eating is gone?
The answer is actually obvious, just like those who are fit, they will convert the energy of food into muscles, and these muscles are the basic conditions for Wu Song to fight tigers. The second was to drink eighteen bowls of wine. This wine is not an ordinary wine, it is a special liquor in the hotel, and ordinary people pour it in three bowls. According to current scientific opinions, alcohol can stimulate the cerebral cortex, put neurons in a state of excitement, and can do many things that would not normally be possible. Wu Song said such a thing to Shi En before he drunk and beat Jiang Menshen, are you afraid that I will be drunk and incompetent? I really don't have the ability to drink. If I eat ten points of wine, I don't know where this strength comes from.
It can be seen that drinking alcohol is also an important factor in Wu Song's fight against the tiger, which makes him exert more strength than usual when fighting the tiger.
After talking about these external conditions, let's take a look at Wu Song's opponent, the white-fronted worm with hanging eyes. Jingyanggang is located in what is now Shandong, so there is a high probability that the tiger is a South China tiger. Adult South China tiger male, about 27 meters, the maximum weight is about 225 kilograms, the bite force can reach half a ton, the instant slapping force of the claw can reach about one ton, the bone density is three times that of humans, and when it erupts, you can run 100 meters in 5 seconds. We don't consider the tiger's bite force and the slapping force of its claws here, because it didn't hit Wu Song at all. So what we have to analyze is whether it is reasonable for Wu Song to dodge the tiger's pounce.
In fact, it is not very difficult to dodge the tiger's attack, and many modern special forces can do it. Therefore, it is very reasonable for Wu Song to dodge the tiger attack. Next, we will analyze whether it is reasonable for Wu Song to kill the tiger. When Wu Song beat the tiger, he grabbed the back of the tiger's neck after dodging the tiger's attack. Friends who have raised cats know that the back of the neck is the weakness of felines, similar to humans being tickled by people, and after being grabbed by people, the strength of tigers cannot be exerted. After that, it was Wu Song who began to slam the tiger on the head with his fist.
As mentioned earlier, Wu Song's meal is basically on his muscles, and the strength of his arm explosion is very large, far beyond ordinary people. When he was in Shi En's house, he once threw a stone pier weighing three to five hundred catties into the air with one hand, and then caught it steadily. Therefore, it is completely reasonable to say that he used more than ten times the arm strength of ordinary people to burst a tiger with a bone density three times that of a human.
So you guys get it? Although Wu Song's fight against the tiger was not out of his original intention, Wu Song himself had the strength to kill a tiger.
