Wrestling has been the most efficient way to kill people since ancient times.
Although it is said that modern classical wrestling originated in ancient Greece, strictly speaking, this statement is just biased rhetoric.
The earliest wrestling, like kebabs, originated from primitive society.
According to simple records, wrestling appeared in China during the Huangdi period, much earlier than ancient Greece. Strictly speaking, wrestling is a way to make people lose their balance and fall to the ground.
There are many synonyms for wrestling in ancient my country, such as wrestling, wrestling, wrestling, sumo, Buku, Erut, wrestling, etc. The languages and characters of each ethnic group are different, and the methods of wrestling are also quite different.
"Shu Yi Ji" records that in the clan era five thousand years ago, the Yellow Emperor's tribe fought a war with the Chiyou tribe. The people of the Chiyou tribe all wore false horns on their heads. "No one can attack someone with a horn."
"Fighting", this fighting method of headbutting is the earliest origin of wrestling. Later generations called wrestling "corner wrestling", which is also derived from this name.
In ancient times, wrestling belonged to the category of unarmed fighting and was a type of military combat. "Book of Rites·Yue Ling" records: "In the month of Mengdong, the emperor ordered the general to teach martial arts, practice archery, chariot and wrestling." Archery, chariot driving and
Wrestling is an important skill for soldiers in combat.
"Guoyu" records that in the late Spring and Autumn Period, there was already a wrestling competition in Jin State.
"Taiping Yulan" quoted Wang Yin's "Book of Jin" as saying: At the party between Xiangcheng County and Yingchuan County in the Central Plains, there was a sumo wrestling match. After losing, the people in Xiangcheng said mockingly: "Xiangcheng County."
The skill of throwing down is not enough to distinguish the superiority and inferiority of the two counties." This shows that the wrestling match at that time had become a battle of honor and disgrace, even to the point of life and death.
"Book of Jin·Biography of Yu Chan" records that "there is a Jianhu in Xicheng who is invincible and no one from Jin dares to compete with the school." Sima Yan was very angry about this, so he posted a list to recruit warriors. Yu Chan's father Yu Dong
He applied for the army, competed with the barbarians, and "cultivated them". From this, Yu Dong became "famous" and became an official.
This is the daily entertainment, but above the battle, wrestling is even more important.
During the Bronze Weapon Age, weapons were often damaged, so unarmed combat skills were extremely important. The most effective way to kill enemies with unarmed weapons, proven on countless battlefields, was wrestling.
Different from modern one-on-one fighting, which uses wrestling to bring the opponent to the ground, and then uses joint techniques and sleeping techniques to subdue the opponent, in the melee in ancient battle formations, the person who fell to the ground would lose almost all protection, and then be trampled and beaten to death.
.
Falling to the ground on the battlefield means death, so there are often soldiers who are seriously injured and have to die standing. For this reason, at least standing can still have a chance of survival, except for pretending to be dead.
Furthermore, no matter how hard the parts of the human body are, they cannot be as hard as the ground.
The damage caused by falling to the ground is the sum of the hardness of the ground and your own weight. This is much more powerful than the force of elbows and knees. It is very common for someone to fall to death in one fell swoop.
This is why the Chinese martial arts since ancient times have prioritized wrestling. In comparison, boxing is almost useless when the opponent is protected by clothing and armor. It is not as harmful as the concussion transmitted by a palm strike.
In later generations of wrestling, many finishing moves were designed to protect the opponent from fatal injuries, but on the battlefield, the opponent died as quickly as possible.
So when Yuan Xi saw Lu Lingqi actually putting on a wrestling pose, she couldn't help but secretly complain, this woman was so hopeless!
I'm afraid she didn't learn this wrestling from Lu Bu, a Baotou man. If she hit her head on the muddy ground under her feet, wouldn't she be paralyzed for life?
As a Zhumadian person with poor military ethics, Yuan Xi turned around and ran away without thinking.
He ran to a tree as thick as a bowl, took out a rope from his waist, and tied his waist tightly to the tree. Lu Lingqi was stunned to see it and became numb immediately.
Is there anyone like you?
Why do you carry a bundle of rope with you and are so skilled at tying it up?
Lu Lingqi didn't bother to argue with Yuan Xi. Since the other party saw through her purpose, did she really think that just a rope would prevent her from being thrown down?
The previous fights had made her understand the truth. On the battlefield, there are certain tricks that can be used, but in the final analysis, it still depends on strength!
She squatted down slightly, then jumped out, stepped forward, and in a few blinks she came to Yuan Xi. She raised her right hand and punched the door in front of Yuan Xi.
Although fists are not the most effective way to defeat enemies, they are enough for opponents without helmets!
The moment Lu Lingqi punched her fist, she hesitated for a moment when she saw Yuan Xi's face. She thought to herself that this face was pretty good-looking. If the face was smashed, would the other party cry?
Yuan Xi raised his arm to block it, and Lu Lingqi's fist hit his forearm. The pain was so heartbreaking that Yuan Xi thought his bones were broken.
His body suddenly tilted a step, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw Lu Lingqi's left foot kicking towards his ribs. Yuan Xi subconsciously raised his other arm, but saw Lu Lingqi leaning back, and his hair stood on end.
He quickly squatted down with all his strength.
At this moment, Lu Lingqi raised her left leg again and swept it hard towards Yuan Xi's head. However, Yuan Xi happened to squat down, and Lu Lingqi's toes brushed against his scalp.
Lu Lingqi exclaimed, feeling quite surprised. Yuan Xi seemed to have some skills in bare-handed fighting, right?
When she saw Yuan Xi reaching out to grab her ankle again, her mind couldn't help but think of what happened last time. She got angry and kicked her right foot, jumping into the air, spinning her body, and kicked back with all her strength!
She fully thought that Yuan Xi was going to kick her hard, but she didn't expect that with a thud, she kicked onto the trunk of the tree, and the leaves fell down.
Lu Lingqi stood still and found that Yuan Xi had taken the opportunity to hide behind a tree!
She stood firm and did not attack. Instead, she touched her head in confusion and said, "Are you really taught by Master?"
Yuan Xi had time to breathe. He took a few deep breaths, and his violently beating heart slowed down a little. Then he tried his best to pretend to be inscrutable, "I'll tell you if you win."
He thought to himself that he had already performed beyond his level just now.
The Sanda he learned in the university in his previous life, and the occasional guidance from Zhao Yun in his current life, allowed him to deal with Lu Lingqi's moves, and he even managed to escape just now with some luck.
If it weren't for the rope tied around his waist, he would have fallen down in a panic.
Lu Lingqi snorted coldly, stepped around the tree trunk, and grabbed Yuan Xi's belt.
She finally figured out that the rope could help Yuan Xi stabilize his body. As long as she forced the opponent to circle, sooner or later the opponent would be entangled in the rope. At that time, as long as the opponent fell down, the opponent would still hang on the tree trunk even if he did not hit the ground.
Come on, I want to see how you run!
When Yuan Xi saw Lu Lingqi trying to catch him, he hurriedly went around the tree. Lu Lingqi was chasing after her and wanted to follow him. Unexpectedly, Yuan Xi stretched the rope out of nowhere, hugged the tree trunk with his hands and feet, and rubbed it a few times.
He actually climbed up the tree!
Seeing Yuan Xi climb to a height as high as one person, Lu Lingqi reacted quickly. She stretched out her hand to grab the rope and pulled hard. Yuan Xi was almost pulled off the tree. She immediately hugged the trunk tightly to prevent her from falling.
When Lu Lingqi saw it, she grabbed the rope with both hands, pulled it down with all her strength, and yelled: "Get down!"
Yuan Xi was waiting for this moment. He stretched out his hand and pinched the knot around his waist, and the rope suddenly fell off!
Lu Lingqi was caught off guard. She had used all her strength, but this time she lost all her strength and fell to the ground. She was so angry that her face turned red and she was about to struggle to get up. How could Yuan Xi miss the opportunity and jump out of the tree?
Jump down and throw her to the ground!
After a lot of effort, Lu Lingqi was finally pulled into the moment of rolling on the ground!
Otherwise, facing the standing Lu Lingqi, Yuan Xi would have no confidence in winning.
The moment Lu Lingqi was knocked down, she knew that she had fallen into the opponent's trap again. She couldn't use any of her skills. She even learned wrestling from Lu Bu and couldn't even use a single move!
Thinking of this, she was so angry that she clenched her teeth. This fierce tiger was really despicable!
In this case, everyone should do their best!
She raised her elbow to hit her, but Yuan Xi pinned her armpit tightly, leaving her with no power to use, and she couldn't help but feel even more annoyed.
She could see that the other person had much more experience in falling to the ground than she did!
In the past two years, Lu Lingqi's martial arts has improved a lot. On the one hand, she benefited from her outstanding talent, and on the other hand, it was also due to the masters sparring with her.
There is no need to mention Lu Buquyi. When Zhang Liao, Gao Shun and others came to the house, Lu Lingqi would also pester them to ask for advice. Although the other party obviously held back, Lu Lingqi also benefited a lot.
However, there is only one thing, that is, the martial arts she has improved are all on the ground. Although wrestling also has ground moves, Lu Lingqi can only figure it out in her mind, but she has never practiced it in actual combat.
This is normal, because Zhang Liao and others are also good at wrestling, but how come they have physical contact with Lu Lingqi?
But Yuan Xi is different.
He has had rich tumbling experience with many opponents, and has practiced diligently day and night, spending a lot of time, and has reached the point where practice makes perfect.
Therefore, Yuan Xi was very used to lying down. Only when he was lying down was when he truly showed his strength. The same was true against Yang Feng that day.
Lu Lingqi's armpits were pressed by Yuan Xi, and she couldn't use her arm strength. However, the tingling coming from the place where she was pressed made her want to laugh.
When a person smiles, his strength will be released. Lu Lingqi's face turned red from holding it in, and she felt even more angry inside.
Almost exactly the same as last time!
However, Yuan Xi wisely avoided sensitive parts this time. He just restrained Lu Lingqi's arms with one hand and her thighs with the other, and pressed her body tightly so that she could not turn over to resist.
Lu Lingqi's other hand desperately elbowed Yuan Xi on the waist, but was knocked back and her elbow was numb. Only then did she realize that this bitch was secretly wearing leather armor!
But she didn't say it in advance, so she could only eat Coptis chinensis in silence. She became more and more angry and twisted Yuan Xi to take advantage of the situation and rolled over.
Sun Li stood in the distance and saw the two of them rolling on the ground. He thought to himself, isn't this the fighting technique used by wild children when they were young?
This is too ugly. The governor of Youzhou and the noble daughter of Marquis Wen are both of high status, but now they are like two wild dogs biting each other, completely ignoring their image.
Fortunately, I asked the guards to evade it in advance, so that people could see and spread the news. The matter between the young master and the daughter of Marquis Wen would soon be spread all over the world and become a talking point among the noble families!
