Many people say that there are a lot of mediocre waste in the Liangshan 108 generals, and even some people have discharged the "Liangshan Top Ten Wastes" and "Liangshan Ten Yongcai", including Song Qing, Cao Zheng, Duan Jingzhu, or Bai Sheng, Shi En, Kong Ming, Kong Liang and others. The reason for this is because these people are not high in martial arts and have not contributed much.
In fact, everyone has their own role, and they cannot be denied because their martial arts are low and their contribution is not large.
In addition, even if these people play less role in the battlefield, they have a skill in other aspects. For example, Cao Zheng, good at killing sheep and removing bones, and his martial arts are also good, he once fought with Yang Zhi for twenty or thirty rounds, although he fell down, he was not injured, and he could jump out of the circle. There is also Bai Sheng, when Lu Junyi was trapped in Qingshiyu, but Bai Sheng rolled down from the mountain to report the news, and this courage was also stronger than many people.
Of course, if you want to say who are high-tech talents among these good men, it must be thunderous.
Ling Zhen was originally an artilleryman in the capital, a technical talent, and he was the only one on Liangshan who could build artillery, which was irreplaceable. Ling Zhen had two bright spots in his life, one was that he almost bombed Liangshan Dazhai, and the other was to avenge Wu Song.
First of all, Ling Zhen shelled Liangshan Dazhai
In the Battle of Gaotang Prefecture, Liangshan was first defeated, and later, with the help of Gongsun Sheng, Gao Lian's demon law was broken, and when the city was destroyed, Lei Heng killed Gao Lian. Gao Lian was Gao Li's cousin, and when Gao Li learned of this, he personally selected Hu Yanzhuo to conquer Liangshan and asked Hu Yanzhuo to mobilize Peng Qi and Han Tao, as well as three thousand consecutive horses.
Hu Yanzhuo lost the first battle, Peng Qi was captured, and he thought that the army and horses could not cross the water berth, and then sent a thunderbolt to the sky.
When Ling Zhen first came, Wu Yong did not care, thinking that liangshan was surrounded by water, and the village on the mountain was far from the water. However, when Ling Zhen fired the cannon, Wu Yong immediately realized the seriousness of the problem.
Three artillery pieces were fired in a row, two in the water and one straight to the small village by the duckbill beach. Song Jiangjian said that his heart turned to melancholy, and all the leaders lost their color. - "Water Margin"
Of the three artillery pieces, one of them hit the small village of Duckbill Beach, and if there are more artillery pieces, it will be difficult to ensure the safety of Liangshan Village. Therefore, Wu used the design to let Zhang Shun, Li Jun, Ruan Xiao and other water army leaders first destroy Ling Zhen's cannon, and then capture Ling Zhen alive. From then on, Ling Zhen worked in Liangshan.
After Ling Zhen went to Liangshan, he began to serve Liangshan, and the artillery not only aimed at Hu Yanzhuo, but also successfully used artillery to assist Liangshan in defeating Hu Yanzhuo. Later, in the Battle of Qingzhou, ErlongShan, Lu Zhishen of TaohuaShan, Li Zhong and others jointly besieged Qingzhou, plus Liangshan, Hu Yanzhuo was defeated again, and he himself was captured, and after being persuaded by Song Jiang, Hu Yanzhuo joined Liangshan.
After Ling Zhen went to Liangshan, all the way to Zhao'an, there was no too prominent performance.
This may be because the author knows the power of artillery, and if ling zhen is allowed to shell, it is not only not in line with history, but also difficult to show the plot. Just like Gongsun Sheng, the spell is so high, if he keeps using spells, there will be no problem, but then the novel is not wonderful. Therefore, most of the time, Ling Zhen and Gongsun Sheng did not shoot, at most to assist in the battle, use artillery to disrupt the enemy's plans, or use it to set fire to cheer up. But even so, it's already amazing.
After Zhao An, Ling Zhen's most wonderful performance was twice, one was to kill the five tiger-level fierce generals, and the other was to avenge Wu Song.
During the conquest of Wang Qing, Wang Qing had a fierce general named Yuan Lang, nicknamed the Red-Faced Tiger. Yuan Lang made good use of the double lao, one weighed 15 pounds, the other weighed 16 pounds, heavier than Hu Yanzhuo's double whip. Yuan Lang had fought with The Thunderbolt Fire Qin Ming one hundred and fifty times, and there was no victory or defeat. Obviously, he was a fierce general of the level of a five-tiger general.
Later, it was Ling Zhen's artillery that killed Yuan Lang. However, it was not Ling Zhen who personally killed Yuan Lang, it was his artillery battalion soldiers.
During the conquest of Fang La, during the Battle of Muzhou, Wu Song broke his left arm because he was attacked by Bao Daoyi, a mage under Fang La. Later, Ling Zhen launched an artillery shell, and His father Bao Daoyi was killed, which was considered to be revenge for Wu Song.
After the conquest of Fangla, Ling Zhen was one of the 36 surviving Liangshan generals. Probably because Ling Zhen was good at artillery, he was later reused by the emperor and continued to work in the imperial camp of the Gunpowder Bureau.
