"The so-called barbarian tactics is to use all available weapons on the battlefield to continuously and efficiently attack the enemy." Ask said, "This tactic emphasizes killing efficiency. If the enemy is within the attack range, you should chop him; if the enemy is not within the attack range, you should not rush to kill him, because charging itself will waste your time. You should quickly throw weapons to kill him."

"Yeah." Sidlifa nodded continuously.

"Since thrown weapons cannot be retrieved in time on the battlefield, how to snatch weapons becomes the key to the tactics itself." Ask gestured to the other party to pick up the battle axe to block. "The moves for snatching weapons are divided into two types, depending on whether you have weapons in your hands, 'disarming' and 'seizing the blade with bare hands'."

"First, disarm." Ask placed his axe on the handle of the axe that Sidlifa was blocking. "Look carefully, this is 'finger cutting'."

His axe blade slid down Sidlifa's axe handle suddenly, cutting straight into the latter's fingers holding the handle, scaring Sidlifa so much that she quickly let go of the battle axe.

Ask caught her dropped axe and said, "Deflect the strike at the moment of impact and turn the blade to attack the opponent's grip on the weapon, forcing him to let go of the weapon - or cut off his fingers."

He threw the axe back to Sidlifa: "Let's continue."

Sidlifa caught the battle axe, only to see Ask's weapon suddenly cut towards her wrist: "This is 'Wrist Cut'."

She quickly turned sideways and tried to dodge, but no matter how she stepped back, every time Ask's slashed, the blade of the weapon always passed by her wrist within two fingers' distance.

"Cut off the enemy's wrist, and you will naturally be able to get his weapon." Ask twisted his wrist slightly and put away the battle axe.

Sidlifa responded with an "oh".

"Similar to 'Wrist Slash', there are also 'Elbow Slash' and 'Shoulder Break'. In essence, they all strike the opponent's upper limb joints, forcing the opponent to be unable to release the weapon." Ask said this, opening his hands and signaling Sidlifa to attack him. "Next, let's talk about 'Empty Hands to Seize the Blade'."

Sidlifa symbolically swung her battle axe at him, but Ask dodged it and suddenly rushed forward into her arms, slamming his right shoulder heavily into her chest:

"This is a mountain support."

His left hand formed into an eagle claw, grabbed Sidlifa's right shoulder, and pulled her arm violently. His fingers quickly slid to her wrist, and then suddenly squeezed it hard. Sidlifa felt that her tendons were being pressed, and her whole arm suddenly became numb, and the axe in her hand fell to the ground involuntarily.

"This is a vital point." Ask released her. "First, quickly get close to the opponent to prevent the opponent's attack, and then use strong pressure on the opponent's wrist tendons to force the opponent to release the weapon."

"I can't feel my right arm!" cried Sidlifa.

"It's just numbness, it will be gone after a while." Ask said calmly.

Sidlifa: ...

Forget it, it was not the first time that she had been beaten by the leader. She stood there with a distressed look on her face, feeling her right arm slowly regaining consciousness.

"Have you recovered? Let's do it again." Ask grabbed her right hand, twisted it, and pulled her arm, bending the elbow joint. "This is called 'reverse elbow lock'."
