Among the four famous works of the mainland, the most righteous of the rivers and lakes is "Water Margin". Many good men have emerged in the famous works, some in the rivers and lakes, and some in the court. Among them, Wu Song is a good man in Liangshan who is more impressive to everyone.
Speaking of Wu Song, we must talk about his strength value. Force value has always been something that everyone likes to discuss, but it is not easy to make a judgment. Because Water Margin did not have an authoritative martial arts conference like other novels. Then everyone went to the stage and lined up in the ring.
Wu Song's strength value can only be determined by his combat experience and the strength values of some other good men who intersect with him. But Wu Song is not easy to judge, for the following two reasons.
Takematsu
First of all, Wu Song's reputation for fighting tigers is very strong, and the jianghu people are afraid of three points. The second is that the objects he fights against are basically crushed, but he has basically never confronted the first-class masters. Although he had fought with Lu Junyi, he was all his own person, and he had not really done it, and he could not judge the gap between the two.
It is precisely for the above two reasons that the judgment of Wu Song's force value on the Internet is also polarized. Some people think that Wu Song's combat strength is actually unremarkable, at most it is at the middle level of the 108 generals of Liangshan. Some people also felt that Wu Song's combat strength was extremely strong, and it should be at least the level of the Five Tiger Generals of Liangshan, that is, the top generals of Liangshan.
So what is Wu Song's combat strength level? I'll analyze it together with some of his records. See if Wu Song is really as strong as rumored.
In the Water Margin, Wu Song's first appearance was in Chai Jin's ZhuangZhong. At that time, Song Heizi accidentally annoyed Wu Song, and Chai Jin persuaded him to make peace. When introducing Wu Song, he said his first shot.
Chai Jin said that Wu Song had an argument with a person in Yamen because of drinking. As a result, he beat the other party to death with one punch, so he ran to Chai Jiazhuang to take refuge. It was later confirmed that the man had only been knocked unconscious, not dead. Wu Song then left Chai Jiazhuang and returned to his hometown to reunite with his brother.
One punch to stun people, what does this mean? General Shi Yong also punched and killed people.

Then, on the way home, he passed jingyanggang, where Wu Song drunkenly killed the tiger. This station is almost the representative station of Wu Song. Because man and tiger are not an order of magnitude in any way.
To tell the truth, from this point of view, Wu Song is indeed very powerful. However, it could not be confirmed that Wu Song was necessarily a first-class general in Liangshan. Because liangshan's first-class generals did not have the same experience as Wu Song. If they are placed in the same environment as Wu Song, it is not necessarily impossible to achieve the results of Wu Song.
Then there was the Lion Building killing Ximen Qing, although Ximen Qing also knew martial arts, but at best he could be regarded as a second-rate level. Moreover, when Wu Song was fighting Ximenqing, the knife in his hand was also knocked off by Ximenqing. And Ximen Qing was finally thrown to death. Of course, Wu Song was definitely stronger than Ximen Qing, but from this battle alone, at least not to the point of crushing Ximen Qing.
In the battle between Cross Slope and Sun Erniang's husband and wife, they also belong to the second-rate level, and there is not much to say here.
Takematsu
Then there was the drunken beating of Jiang Men Shen, who did not know how to fight at the peak of his combat strength. However, when he fought against Wu Song, he had already occupied the Happy Forest for a long time. Because there is no opponent, he lives a life of drunken dreams all day, and his body is basically hollowed out. Therefore, Jiang Menshen was at least no longer in his peak state.
Looking at Wu Song again, although he is drunk, we know that Wu Song's alcohol consumption is either more drunk and fierce, or it is a state of pretending to be drunk. But Jiang Menshen did not know this, and when he saw the drunken man full of alcohol coming to make trouble, he did not pay attention to it. Compared with the two compartments, Wu Song had no intention of calculating, and as soon as they met, they took advantage of it and caught Jiang Menshen off guard.
Coupled with the fall of Jiang Men shen's own realm, it is certainly not a first-class level. This battle also does not explain Wu Song's top combat strength.
Takematsu
Then there was Yunpu Shang, who killed the two disciples of Jiang Menshen and the two officials. The level of these four people is not much, which can be known from the description in the original book. In this battle, the four people were directly frightened and stupid by Wu Song, and did not fight back at all.
Secondly, in this battle, Wu Song killed four people in a second and also had the credit of Shi En. Before leaving, Shi En let Wu Song eat and drink enough to leave. In addition, Shi En's receipt of the news also reminded Wu Song, who had already taken precautions to preemptively attack.
Subsequently, Wu Song angrily killed Zhang Tuanlian and Jiang Menshen, as well as Zhang Dujian's family, which could not prove Wu Song's top combat strength, and at least half of the 108 generals of Liangshan could achieve Wu Song's record under the same circumstances as Wu Song.
Wu Song killed the Centipede Daoist and its Daoist children at Centipede Ridge. I don't know what level of combat strength this Daoist person belongs to here, so I won't comment on it.
Takematsu
Then it was in Kong Jiazhuang, like beating a child, beating Kong Liang. When it comes to Kong Liang, many people will think of Kong Ming, after all, Kong Ming is the person who fought with Hu Yanzhuo for dozens of rounds. And Kong Ming Kong Liang is two brothers, and many people mistakenly think that the difference between his two combat strengths will not be too much.
In fact, although Kong Ming and Kong Liang are two brothers, their combat strength is really not necessarily the same. In the case of Mu Hong and Mu Chun, the gap between these two people is very large, one is one of the Eight Horsemen, and the other is only one of the many generals in the infantry.
During the Battle of Liao, Wu Song beheaded Yelü Dezhong. This battle was besieged by Lu Zhishen and six other people, which cannot be regarded as Wu Song's personal battle record, but the last step was done by Wu Song. Secondly, the level of Yelü's weight is not necessarily very high, he is the enemy of the Great Liao, and with such an identity, the probability of achieving first-class martial arts is not high.
In the battle between Liangshan and Fang La, Wu Song killed Pei Yingkui. Pei Yingkui was one of the twenty-four fierce generals of Hangzhou. In this battle, Wu Song's second kill of Bei Yingkui can be regarded as quite strong. But this also does not directly prove Wu Song's top combat strength. Because there was also a good man named Jiao Ting on Liang, he also killed two fierce generals in the conquest. Therefore, it is also possible to overestimate the level of Fang La's fierce generals in this regard.
Takematsu
Wu Song's strength alone should be very strong, estimated to be second only to Lu Zhishen, as can be seen from the killing of the tiger with his bare hands. Coupled with the double sword, as well as its own strength, it should not be bad in combat. But Wu Song could not ride horses, which was a shortcoming when the two armies were at war.
Therefore, from Wu Song's analysis of Wu Song's combat strength above, he should be close to or equivalent to the level of the Five Tiger Generals. As for some exaggerations on the Internet, it is not enough to say that it surpasses Lu Zhishen Lu Junyi. What level do you think Wu Song's combat strength should be?
