On the other hand, experts like Aoto, Hijikata Toshizo, Kondo Shusuke, etc., have seen the "essence" of "Toujo Gun" - the terrifying waist and abdominal strength!

If we say that the opponents Qingden faced just now all had a certain problem, that is, lack of waist strength.

Well, Shintaro Tojo is the opposite of these people - his waist and abdominal strength are so powerful!

Spear art is a martial art that relies heavily on waist strength.

Waist Kung Fu is the foundation of spearmanship. If the waist is weak, the spear will be slow and weak - this is absolute and there can be no exceptions.

If you look carefully, you can find that every action of Tojo Shintaro - whether he is raising the gun or withdrawing the gun - is achieved with the help of waist strength.

His movement range is extremely small...it can even be said that there is basically no movement at all.

Keep your feet firmly planted on the ground, as steady as a rock.

The front hand holding the gun never moved.

The back hand holding the gun repeatedly makes a "pushing forward" motion.

Judging from the muscle condition of his arms and wrists, his back hand did not push the gun vigorously - he used his waist to exert force!

It is obviously a very small range of movement, but it emits extremely terrifying power... This is a concrete manifestation of solid waist kung fu!

In addition, every time the spear is thrust out, the front third of the spear will shake violently, shaking out a flower-like afterimage, and then attack Qingdeng from all directions!

Sometimes it stabs Qingdeng's head, sometimes it stabs Qingdeng's chest, sometimes it stabs Qingdeng's shoulder, sometimes it stabs Qingdeng's lower body...it makes people unable to guard against it.

To be able to produce gunfire with just the strength of one's waist - if this kind of thing were spread, it would surely shock the jaws of countless warriors!

It's really hard to imagine... Tojo Shintaro's fat waist, which seems to be stuffed with two swimming rings, actually contains such terrifying power!

Qingdeng couldn't help but secretly gasped:

——These masters who are good at using weapons are really difficult to deal with...

Even if you are an extremely strong person, when you encounter a warrior who is good at using weapons...especially a warrior who is proficient in spears, you can't help but be vigilant and dare not relax.

As long as it is in an open field, the long gun can suppress all melee weapons.

The "King of One Hundred Soldiers" is so domineering!

To give the simplest example: In terms of skill level alone, Sanosuke Harada is not even ranked among the top 5 in the Shinsengumi.

However, if we really want to let go and have a fierce battle of life and death, no one except Ayoto and Souji can guarantee that they can defeat Harada Sanosuke without any injuries.

There is no other reason - the weapon used by Harada Sanosuke is a spear! It’s that simple!

When facing a master of spear skills, it is best to use the "syllogism" - that is, the formula "one level of kendo is equal to three levels of judo, and one level of gundo is equal to three levels of kendo" - to measure the opponent's strength.

Since just now, Qingdeng has been looking for the opponent's weaknesses and waiting for opportunities to counterattack.

However, Tojo Shintaro's attack speed is too fast.

The stabbing attacks were continuous, not to mention getting close to the opponent, just moving his feet was extremely difficult.

In this case, Qingdeng was not in a hurry.

While defending patiently, he carefully observed the opponent's shot path.

After a while, he gradually discovered that Tojo Shintaro was following the path of "combining strength and skill".

At first glance, Shintaro Tojo seems to be the kind of powerful spearman who favors "defeating ten kai with one force".

But in essence, his movements have considerable technical content.

His "skills" mainly focus on how to hold the long gun steadily and how to direct the waist force to the gun body.

After observing carefully for a while, Qingnobo concluded that Tojo Shintaro used a very special method to transmit waist strength.

This style of spearmanship with "both brutal strength and delicate skills" is exactly what Qingdeng likes.

As soon as he thought of this, Qingdeng narrowed his eyes slightly and thought about it.

After a moment, he suddenly shouted:

"Mr. Dongcheng, please pause!"

As soon as this statement came out, everyone in the audience was stunned.

Although Shintaro Tojo was puzzled, he still obeyed Qingto's request and slowly put away the spear in his hand.

At the same time, Qingdeng imitated the action of sheathing the knife and shouted loudly:

"Master! Get the gun!"

Kondo Shusuke was stunned for a moment.

Qingdeng's sudden request really shocked him.

Hijikata Toshizo reacted quickly.

As soon as Qingdeng finished speaking, he immediately turned his head and shouted to his junior brother beside him:

"gun!"

The junior brother thought quickly and ran out of the dojo in three steps and two steps at a time.

Before he could reach it, a spear of the same style as Tojo Shintaro appeared in Qingto's palm.

Qingdeng swung the barrel of the gun a few times to confirm the condition of the gun body.

Then, he crossed the gun majestically, looked at Shintaro Tojo in front of him, and said seriously:

"Mr. Dongcheng, this is a rare opportunity. Let me see more of your spear skills."

After that, he slowly lowered his body, with his left hand in front and his right hand in back. The straight gun body formed two parallel lines with the ground, and the tip of the gun was pointed directly at Tojo Shintaro's chest.

"I flow"

"Tachibana Aoden!"

Qingdeng straightened his head, straightened his shoulders and feet.

The top is flat, the shoulders are flat, the feet are flat, the spear is flat...it is the simplest and most powerful offensive posture in marksmanship - the mid-level spear!

The most important thing about the starting position of Zhongping Gun is the word "flat".

The tip of the gun is pointed directly at the center of the opponent's body.

In this way, no matter which direction the opponent dodges, it will take the longest dodge distance.

When the other side attacks, it "pierces a line with the spear" and thrusts straight out. Its route is the shortest, takes the shortest time, is fast and powerful, and has the potential of "shooting like an arrow". It makes the opponent unable to guard against it.

In addition, because the gun attacks from the center, the gun shaft has no left, right, up and down angles. If you want to prevent the stabbing, you must engage with the pole, so it is difficult for the opponent to block it.

In addition, the shortest distance and smallest angle when switching from a flat gun to other moves is very conducive to the defensive counterattack of the gun.

Because the Zhongping Spear is too overbearing, the ancients once said: "The Zhongping Spear is the king of spears. It can't be guarded by high or low, far or near, it can't be blocked by high, it can't be taken by low, and it's hard to cover anything in the middle."

Upon seeing this, Shintaro Tojo raised his eyebrows first, then raised the corners of his mouth and smiled.

"I flow"

"Tojo Shintaro!"

As he said that, he also lowered his body and mind, making his head level, shoulders level, feet level, and spear level... and he was also hit by a level spear!

Two mid-level guns, facing each other in the air!

In the next breath, two "straight-line lightning" struck each other, cutting the space of the dojo!

The inspiration for the martial arts plot in this chapter all comes from the duel of "Liu Baiyuan vs. Kuang Yimin" in the movie "Archer Liu Baiyuan". I strongly urge everyone to go watch it and experience the real shooting skills.
