Preface
In the Chinese literary classic "Water Margin", Lu Zhishen, Wu Song and Lin Chong are three high-profile heroes and heroes, each of whom has commendable martial arts and heroism. However, if any two of them were to go head-to-head, it would be a mystery as to who would emerge victorious.
Yang Zhi and Hu Yanzhuo, two famous generals, did not know the answer to this riddle. Because none of them had witnessed the strength of Lu Zhishen, Wu Song and Lin Chong.
In that era of heroes, how many real masters were there in Liangshanbo, and what was the difference in strength between them? Today, let us find out!
1. Liangshan Heroes Genealogy
After the Songjiang Uprising, a group of heroes from all over the world were recruited and a powerful army was formed, which was stationed in Liangshanbo. In this army, there are a total of one hundred and eight generals, all of whom are heroes of the time and have high martial arts.
The strength of the one hundred and eight generals of Liangshan is uneven, but they are undoubtedly the choice of the moment. Among them, the top ones are the five tiger generals of the horse army and the ten leaders of the infantry army. The Five Tigers of the Ma Army were led by Guan Sheng, followed by Lin Chong, and the Ten Leaders of the Infantry Army were led by Lu Zhishen, followed by Wu Song.
These generals have their own strengths, some are good at fighting on the fly, and some are better at stepping. They fought side by side in Liangshanbo and fought against the imperial court's army together, achieving a vigorous history of resistance.
The reason why Song Jiang was able to assemble such a powerful army in a short period of time was because of the addition of these heroes. They come from all over the world, some are heroes, and some are criminals wanted by the imperial court.
But no matter what their background is, as long as they have a righteous heart, Song Jiang will not hesitate to accept them. Some of these generals once served in the imperial court, while others were veterans of the rivers and lakes.
They each have their own stories, some of them defected to Liangshan to escape the pursuit, and some of them took the initiative to join Song Jiang because they saw Song Jiang's ambitions. Regardless of their starting point, they eventually became the mainstay of Yangshanbo.
Second, immediately invincible
Among the one hundred and eight generals in Liangshan, the most outstanding kung fu is the jade unicorn Lu Junyi. His marksmanship is at its peak, and he can be called a grandmaster of a generation. In the Battle of Yutian, Lu Junyi's marksmanship is breathtaking.
At that time, the big knife Guan Sheng, the double whip Hu Yanzhuo, the golden gunner Xu Ning, the urgent pioneer Suo Chao and the four young generals of Yelu caught and fought against each other, you come and go, and it is difficult to distinguish the winner from the loser. At this critical moment, Lu Junyi stepped forward and single-handedly faced the four generals.
His marksmanship is superb, fluid and varied. The four generals were simply unable to parry, and they were quickly defeated by him one by one. Fang Tianding and Shi Bao, who were on the enemy tower at that time, witnessed all this and were stunned by Lu Junyi's superb gun skills.
After this battle, Lu Junyi's kung fu was unmatched, and his position as the number one master of Liangshan's horse war was confirmed. His marksmanship is breathtaking, unparalleled in his time.
The reason why Lu Junyi was able to be so good on the horse was not only talented, but also thanks to the careful cultivation of Song Jiang and Wu Yong. They took a fancy to Lu Junyi's potential from the very beginning and spared no effort to cultivate his martial arts, which eventually created this number one master of horse warfare.
Lu Junyi's outstanding performance also impressed other generals in Liang Shanbo. Although they have their own strengths, I am afraid it is difficult to compete with Lu Junyi in terms of horse kung fu. This jade unicorn is undoubtedly the brightest star of Liang Shanbo.
Three, step down the master
Although Lu Junyi is the number one master of Liangshan horse warfare, he is far inferior to Lu Zhishen and Wu Song in terms of step work. Lu Zhishen is a Kansai Han who has been practicing martial arts since he was a child. Later, he joined the army of the Seed Master Dao and participated in many battles with the Western Xia.
In those years, he killed countless enemies, and Lu Zhishen's martial arts became more and more sophisticated, becoming a generation of war gods. It wasn't until he mistakenly killed Zheng Tu that he became a monk and became known as the "Flower Monk".
Even if he is a monk, Lu Zhishen's martial arts are extraordinary. He is eight feet tall and has infinite strength, and he is even more invincible with a sixty-two-pound Zen staff in his hand. In Liangshanbo, Lu Zhishen is recognized as the first person to work hard.
The reason why Lu Zhishen was able to do so well in step is not only talented, but also thanks to years of practical experience. In the army of the Planter Dao, he had participated in countless battles with the Western Xia and killed countless enemies, which undoubtedly trained his kung fu.
As for Wu Song, he was originally the junior disciple of the blue-faced beast Yang Zhi. Both of them are first-class masters in martial arts, and they are known as "Lin Chong immediately, step down Wu Song" in Liangshanbo. Wu Song's stick technique is exquisite, and he can kill a cow with a stick, and his strength should not be underestimated.
The reason why Wu Song's step-by-step kung fu is so good, in addition to his talent, is also due to years of hard training. He has been learning martial arts with Yang Zhi since he was a child, training day after day, and finally practicing a superb stick technique.
These two step-down masters are the mainstays of Liangshanbo. Their outstanding performance also impressed other generals. In terms of step-by-step effort, I'm afraid it's hard for anyone to compete with them.
Fourth, the horse step is all-round
In addition to Lu Junyi, Lu Zhishen and Wu Song, there is also an all-round master of horse steps in Liangshanbo, that is, Lin Chong, the head of the leopard. Lin Chong's marksmanship is very good, and he can compete with Lu Junyi on the horse. At the same time, his step-by-step work is also a must, on a par with Lu Zhishen and Wu Song.
Once, Lin Chong and Twin Whip Hu Yanzhuo went head-to-head, and the two fought for more than 50 rounds, and it was always difficult to distinguish the winner from the loser. Later, Xiao Li Guanghua's Invalids joined the battle, and Lin Chong chose to retreat. It can be seen that Lin Chong's immediate kung fu has reached the realm.
Another time, Lin Chong and the blue-faced beast Yang Zhi were fighting under the step, and the two were also equal, and it was difficult to distinguish for a while. These records are enough to prove that Lin Chong is the top master of Liangshanbo, whether he is right away or stepping down.
The reason why Lin Chong was able to be so good on the horse and under the step was not only talented, but also thanks to years of hard training. He has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and later he has experienced countless actual battles in the army of the Cultivation Dao, which also trained his martial arts.
Lin Chong's outstanding performance also impressed other generals. Although they have their own strengths, I am afraid it is difficult to compete with Lin Chong in terms of horses and steps. This leopard head is undoubtedly another star on Liangshanbo.
Fifth, the three heroes will be martial
If Lu Zhishen, Lin Chong, and Wu Song were allowed to go head-to-head, who would be the final winner? This is indeed a question worth exploring.
Lu Zhishen has infinite strength, and the sixty-two-pound Zen staff in his hand is even more invincible. He once fought with Hu Yanzhuo and Yang Zhi head-on, and they were all tied, which shows his superb work. Lu Zhishen's strength is so great that even the other masters on Liangshanbo may be difficult to parry.
Lin Chong is an all-round horse, whether it is marksmanship or footwork, it has been perfected. Not only did he tie with Hu Yanzhuo, but even his rivalry with Yang Zhi was indistinguishable. Lin Chong's martial arts are exquisite, which can be described as rare in the world, and he is worthy of the top master on Liangshanbo.
As for Wu Song, although his kung fu is not testable, his step-down stick method is the peak, and his arm strength is outstanding, which should not be underestimated. Wu Song's stick technique is so superb that even Lu Zhishen and Lin Chong may not be able to completely suppress him.
Which of the three has the strongest overall strength? It is indeed difficult to determine. However, judging from their respective emphasis, Lu Zhishen may have the upper hand under the step, while Lin Chong has more advantages on the horse. As for Wu Song, his step-by-step work is also a must, and he may be able to compete with the two.
If these three masters really compete in Liangshanbo, they will definitely cause an uproar. They all have their own strengths, and they are all rare martial arts wizards in the world, and it may be difficult to say who wins and who loses. However, no matter what the result is, this "Three Heroes Meeting" will definitely become a good story on Liangshanbo.
epilogue
On Liangshanbo, there are many heroes and extraordinary strength. Lu Zhishen, Lin Chong and Wu Song are undoubtedly top masters, each with their own strengths. If they are alone, I am afraid it will be difficult to distinguish between them.
This scene of masters gathering is the best interpretation of Liangshan's heroism. The outstanding performance of these generals has also made Liangshanbo a banner of the martial arts of the world and a place of yearning for all righteous people.
