Speaking of the "Five Tiger Generals", the first thing that comes to mind may be the "Five Tiger Generals" of the Shu Kingdom, they are Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Ma Chao, Huang Zhong, and Zhao Yun. But you don't know that in Eastern Wu during the Three Kingdoms period, there were also "Five Tiger Generals". Although they were not as well-known as the "Five Tiger Generals" of the Shu Kingdom, they were also the top military generals at that time. So who are they?
Although Eastern Wu is located in the southeast, Jiangdong is also a place where talents are born. Among all the military generals of Eastern Wu, the ones who can be called the "Five Tiger Generals" are: Gan Ning, Tai Shi Ci, Ling Tong, Zhou Tai and Cheng Pu. The battle exploits of these five people are all very prominent, not worse than the "Five Tiger Generals" of the Shu Kingdom, and these five people are deserved to be named the "Five Tiger Generals" of Eastern Wu.
Gan Ning can be said to be the head of the Five Tiger Generals of Eastern Wu. Ganning's record was extremely numerous, especially in the Battle of Chibi and the Battle of Hefei, killing several generals of the Cao Army, Ganning had the most battles (12 battles), the most victories (11 times), the most wins (killing and wounding 9 enemies), the battle efficiency was very high, except for an arrow shot by Sha Maha, all other battles were won. Looking at the entire Three Kingdoms period, there are very few people who can have such a record. Therefore, the first fierce general of Eastern Wu was none other than Gan Ning.
Ling Tong, among the younger generation of Eastern Wu, Ling Tong's martial arts are the most outstanding. Ling Tong's main achievement was at the Battle of Hefei. At that time, Ling Tong was facing the Wei generals Zhang Liao and Le Jin. These two were both Wei State generals, and the young Ling Tong Zhang Liao and Le Jin were all fighting for dozens of rounds, and they did not fall behind at all. It shows that Ling Tong's strength value is very strong, and he is still very young and has such a record, which cannot be described as promising. But the only regret is that Ling Tong did not kill an enemy general in the big battle, so he could only rank second.
Tai Shi Ci was a fierce general who was inseparable from Sun Jian, the "Little Overlord of Jiangdong". So many people think that the first fierce general of Eastern Wu should be Tai Shi Ci, but in fact, it is not. On the subject of force, Tai Shi Ci is indeed worthy of the title of the first warrior of Eastern Wu, but on leading the army to fight, Tai Shi Ci is indeed inferior to Gan Ning. There are not many records about Tai Shi Ci in the historical data, which greatly affects the ranking of Tai Shi Ci. Moreover, Tai Shi Ci participated in very few battles, and the battles he participated in basically did not win, let alone kill an enemy general. However, Tai Shi Ci was able to fight a draw with Sun Ce, the small bully of Jiangdong, indicating that there was still a very strong force. Therefore, Tai Shi Ci can only rank third.
Next up is the Veteran Cheng Pu of Eastern Wu. Although he is older, his force value is no worse than that of young people. Like Huang Zhong, the Five Tiger Generals of the Shu Kingdom, they were all older but their records were not low. He participated in 5 large and small battles, of which 4 were victorious, and he also killed 2 enemy generals, and even fought with Tai Shi Ci for dozens of rounds without falling behind. Due to its advanced age, it can only be ranked fourth among the Five Tiger Generals of Eastern Wu.
The Eastern Wu general Zhou Tai, although his force was average, was very brave in battle, and he fought against the Wei army at the Battle of Chibi and the Battle of Hefei, and did not fall behind at all. Especially in the Battle of Hefei, in the face of the lord Gongsun Quan, who had been heavily surrounded by the Wei army, Zhou Tai rushed into cao camp at all costs, and opened the mouth for Sun Quan in the struggle to let Sun Quan successfully break through, just by virtue of such bravery and boldness, ranking him fifth was also deserved, but when the Battle of Jingzhou encircled and suppressed Guan Xing, Guan Xing killed his brother Zhou Ping in front of Zhou Tai, and Zhou Tai did not dare to take revenge, but retreated, which was really a nest.
The Five Tiger Generals of Eastern Wu were actually relatively strong, but compared with the Five Tiger Generals of the Shu Kingdom, there was a big gap in terms of both the strength value and the battle record of the fierce generals. The main thing may be related to the founding of Eastern Wu, the process of establishing the country is too smooth, unlike the Shu and Wei states, which have only occupied a place after many years of conquest. In fact, actual combat is the best test for fierce generals. What do you think?
