In the Water Margin, many of Liangshan's masters are drawrs, such as Lin Chong's forty rounds of draw with Yang Zhi, Yang Zhi's forty or fifty rounds of draw with Lu Zhishen, is it not the three of them who are victorious or defeated? So how exactly should their martial arts be ranked? Who is more powerful?
Lin Chong drew with Yang Zhi for forty rounds
Lin Chong's battle against Yang Zhi occurred when Lin Chong first entered Liangshan. At that time, the owner of Liangshan Village was still Wang Lun, Wang Lun was a person with no great ambition, he wanted to live a small life, not to provoke anyone, so Lin Chong's arrival was actually very disgusting, because Lin Chong and Gao Qi had a vendetta, he was afraid that Gao Li would take the opportunity to attack Liangshan and cut off his way of life, so he had been politely rejecting Lin Chong. But at that time, Lin Chong was already cornered, and there was a letter guaranteed by Chai Jin, so Wang Lun finally had to accept Lin Chong, but in order to force Lin Chong, Wang Lun let Lin Chong go down the mountain to cut people and surrender, so there was a scene of Lin Chong fighting Yang Zhi.
Lin Chong went down to the mountain to throw his name, just happened to meet Yang Zhi, the two fought together, and forty rounds could not be won or lost. However, if we analyze it carefully, we can also find that lin chong is actually more powerful than Yang Zhi!
Original text: Lin Chongzheng is not angry, there promised, round eyes, upside down tiger whiskers, holding up the simple knife, grab the future, fight the big man. One after another, the fight reached thirty, regardless of victory or defeat, and the two fought for ten times. When the fight reached the end of the line, he saw the high part of the mountain shouting, "Two good men, don't fight." Lin Chong listened and jumped out of the circle.
As we all know, Lin Chong's best weapon is the long gun, as the head of the gun stick, his marksmanship is very powerful, but in the competition with Yang Zhi, the weapon used by Lin Chong is a simple knife, which shows that Lin Chong is deliberately suppressing the force, if he plays full play, his combat effectiveness will definitely surpass Yang Zhi. On the other hand, when Wang Lun called a halt to the competition between Lin Chong and Yang Zhi, Lin Chong jumped out of the combat circle at once, without dragging mud and water, which showed that Lin Chong was at ease on the battlefield at that time, he had the upper hand, if he had the upper hand and was entangled by Yang Zhi, how could he jump out of the circle? Therefore, from a comprehensive point of view, Lin Chong's martial arts are definitely more than Yang Zhi's!
Yang Zhi drew with Ruda in 40 or 50 rounds
Yang Zhi fought against Lu Zhishen at the foot of Erlong Mountain. At that time, both of them wanted to capture Erlong Mountain, but they met at the bottom of the mountain, and their tempers were very smelly, and they couldn't look at each other, so they started a battle.
Original text: Two are in the forest one after another, one up and one down, two put right. Straight to forty or fifty, no matter whether it wins or loses. The monk sold a flaw, jumped out of the circle, and drank "and rest."
Yang Zhi and Lu Zhishen fought for forty or fifty rounds without winning or losing, on the surface, the combat effectiveness of the two seems to be similar, but we can see from Yang Zhi's words "I just can only resist him", in fact, we can see that Yang Zhi at that time was already behind! If his martial arts were stronger than Lu Zhishen's, he would certainly not have issued such an exclamation! Moreover, Lu Zhishen took the initiative to sell a flaw and jump out of the circle, which is similar to Lin Chong's initiative to jump out of the combat circle, indicating that the initiative of the battlefield is in the hands of these two people! Lu Zhishen is definitely stronger than Yang Zhi!
Lin Chong and Lu Zhishen
Lin Chong and Lu Zhishen did not fight each other, but we can see from their combat target Hu Yanzhuo that Lin Chong's martial arts are still slightly stronger than Lu Zhishen's!
Hu Yanzhuo had been ordered to attack Erlongshan, so Lu Zhishen, Yang Zhidu and Hu Yanzhuo had fought, but the two sides did not distinguish between victory and defeat, and Hu Yanzhuo was not afraid of Lu Zhishen and others. Although Lin Chong also played a draw with Hu Yanzhuo, in the process of fighting with Yizhang Qingqi Sanniang, Hu Yanzhuo could not take down Hu Sanniang for more than ten rounds, and he himself admitted that if he wanted to take down Hu Sanniang, he would have at least dozens of rounds, but Lin Chong came out of the horse, and within ten rounds, he easily took down Hu Sanniang, so it can be seen that Lin Chong's combat effectiveness should exceed Hu Yanzhao!' Since Lin Chong was stronger than Hu Yanzhuo, and Lu Zhishen and Hu Yanzhuo were even, then Lin Chong's martial arts were slightly stronger than Lu Zhishen's!
epilogue
In general, although Lin Chong drew with Yang Zhi in fifty rounds and Lu Zhishen with Yang Zhi in 40 or 50 rounds, it seems that the martial arts of the three people do not distinguish between victory and defeat, but in fact, the victory and defeat have been divided. The battle between Lin Chong and Yang Zhi, in fact, Lin Chong has the upper hand, Lu Zhishen and Yang Zhi's battle, Lu Zhishen also wants to have the upper hand, so the weakest person in martial arts among the three is Yang Zhi! As for the martial arts of Lin Chong and Lu Zhishen, in fact, it can be compared by Hu Yanzhuo, Lu Zhishen and Hu Yanzhuo are equal, the martial arts of the two are similar, but Lin Chong's martial arts are higher than Hu Yanzhuo, which shows that Lin Chong's martial arts are higher than Lu Zhishen' martial arts. That is to say, among the three people lin chong, Yang Zhi and Lu Zhishen, Lin Chong is the strongest in martial arts, followed by Lu Zhishen, and the weakest is Yang Zhi! And this can also be confirmed by our ranking in Liangshan!
