The constellations of the 108 leaders of Liangshan are arranged according to the inscriptions on the stone stele, the first 36 lines are tiangang stars, the back 72 lines are earth stars, the upper ying tiankui, divided into positioning numbers, divided into large and small second-class tiangang stars, small earth stars, ranking 108 places.
Interestingly, the inscription on the stone tablet is the Dragon Chapter Phoenix Seal Tadpole Book, no one here can understand, only a Taoist monk named He Xuantong said that he could understand the Book of Heaven, and this He Xuantong was Gongsun Sheng who came down from the mountain to come back to do the trick, so the cattiness in it can be imagined. In fact, not all of them are masters in the Tiangang Star, such as the two brothers Xie Zhen and Xie Bao, who are obviously numbered; not all of them are mediocre talents in the Earth Star, and there are also many masters hidden in them. So, which of them has the highest martial arts skills?
First: Sick Lieutenant Chi Sun Li
Sun Li was recognized as the highest martial artist among the Earth Fire Stars, he was originally the ruler of Dengzhou Terracotta Army, but later robbed the prison under the coercion of his younger brother Sun Xin and his sister-in-law Gu Dajie, and joined forces with Liangshan Li to break zhujiazhuang. In terms of martial arts, Sun Li was one of the few leaders of Liangshan who was proficient in horses, steps, and bows, and the horses made guns, and the infantry battles made bamboo steel whips, and the archery skills were superb. Except for Sun Li, there was no second liangshan leader who was proficient in horses, steps, and bows at the same time.
Sun Li only went up the mountain after three dozen Zhujiazhuang, joined the company late, but appeared a lot of times, and did not lose a single battle with the enemy general. During the conquest of Liao, Sun Li and Kou Zhenyuan first fought guns and then arrows, and the last whip knocked off Kou Zhenyuan half of the Tianling Gai, which is one of the most wonderful heads-ups in the whole book. During the conquest of Tian Hu, Sun Li was plotted against Fang Qiong and killed Fang Qiong with the assistance of Hua Rong and Qin Ming. During the conquest of Fangla, Sun Li had the upper hand in the great battle; Zhen Cheng, regardless of victory or defeat; beheaded Zhang Wei, captured Lei Jiong, and attacked Shezhou with Huang Xin, Zou Yuan, Zou Run, and Lin Chong to kill The Soldier Shangshu Wang Yin. After the battle of Zhengfangla, Sun Li was one of the only eighteen remaining earth stars, and after Banshi returned to the dynasty, he was given the title of Wu Yilang, but still returned to Dengzhou as an official and died well.
Second place: Zhen Sanshan Huangxin
Huang Xin was an apprentice of Qin Ming of the Thunderbolt Fire, and the former Qingzhou Terracotta Warriors and Horses Governor of ShangliangShan, who was in charge of three evil mountains: Qingfeng Mountain, Erlong Mountain, and Peach Blossom Mountain, so he was called "Zhen Sanshan". Of course, Huang Xin, a good man of the Three Mountains, could not afford to provoke any of them, and was defeated by Yan Shun, Wang Ying, and Zheng Tianshou on the way to send Song Jiang and Hua Rong.
However, this does not mean that Huang Xin is not skilled in martial arts, Wang Ying, Yan Shun, and Zheng Tianshou are all horse generals, and they are considered the second array of good players in the Earth Fire Star, and it is normal to be defeated by the three of them. On the other hand, Huang Xin was very keen in judging the situation, and when he saw that he was invincible to the three people, he immediately withdrew and did not dwell on it, and after hearing that Qin Ming surrendered to Song Jiang, he did not say a word and surrendered, which was also the reason why Huang Xin was able to survive the brutal Battle of Fangla.
When Liangshan was ranked second, Huang Xin's strength was recognized, ranking thirty-eighth, second in the Earth Fire Star, and the post of Sima Jun Xiao Biao was also the sentinel leader of the Far Range, ranking first among the sixteen Xiao Biao generals, and Sun Li was lin Chong's deputy. In the Battle of Liao, Huang Xin killed He Chongbao, Wu Yanguang's deputy commander, in the rebel army, who was a long man, a strong enemy of tens of thousands of people, and a good messenger on the left side of the door, which showed that Huang Xin's strength was not bad. During the conquest of Wang Qing, Huang Xin beheaded Pan Zhong. During the conquest of Fangla, Huang Xin fought Against Zhao Yi and gained the upper hand; when the Suzhou General was fighting, Huang Xin fought Against Guo Shiguang, regardless of victory or defeat, and Guo Shiguang later declared war with The Ugly County; when attacking Shezhou, he joined forces with Sun Li, Zou Yuan, Zou Run, and Lin Chong to kill The Soldier Shangshu Wang Yin. When Banshi returned to the dynasty, Huang Xin was one of the only eighteen remaining emperors, and he was given the title of Wu Yilang and the commander of all roads, but still returned to Qingzhou as an official and died well.
Third place: Ugly County Ma Xuanzan
Xuanzanshan made a steel knife, a skilled bow horse, once used a series of arrows against the generals, was recruited into the palace as a county horse, but because of his ugly appearance, he died of the county lord, and later served as a defense envoy baoyi in The Gate of ThebuSi Yamen, and could not be reused. When Guan Sheng conquered Liangshan, Xuanzan was made a deputy general, and he fought with Hua Rong and was defeated, and later submitted to Liangshan. When fighting the Daming Mansion, Xuanzan, Guan Sheng, and Hao Siwen were the vanguard of the front, and they fought against Suo Chao and Li Cheng. During the attack on Lingzhou City, he was captured by Shan Tingjue and Wei Dingguo for the light enemy's adventurism. When he hit Dongchang Province, he was hit in the corner of the mouth by Zhang Qingfeishi and fell off his horse. During the conquest of Fangla, after the destruction of Suzhou City, he died with the enemy general Guo Shiguang.
Looking at the record of the declaration of war, there are basically more defeats and fewer victories, but it cannot be denied that his martial arts are not strong, which may have a lot to do with luck, otherwise it would not be possible to be the deputy general of Guan Sheng. When he ranked second, Xuanzan was ranked as the fortieth and the fourth of the Earth Fire Star, which was also a recognition of his martial arts.
Fourth place: Hao Siwen of Jingmu
Hao Siwen was Guan Sheng's brother and deputy general, proficient in eighteen martial arts, and when he accompanied Guan Sheng in his conquest of Liangshan, he was captured by the third lady with a red cotton noose, and then returned to Liangshan. When fighting the Daming Mansion, Hao Siwen, Guan Sheng, and Xuan Zan were the vanguard of the front, and they fought against Suo Chao and Li Cheng. During the attack on Lingzhou City, he was captured by Shan Tingjue and Wei Dingguo for the light enemy's adventurism. When fighting Dongchang Province, he was hit by Zhang Qingfeishi on the forehead corner horse. When Liangshan was seated, Hao Siwen was ranked forty-first, and he was appointed as the general of the Ma Army Xiao Biao and the leader of the sentry.
As for the battle experience, Hao Siwen did not pay much attention to it, most of the time he was paired with Xuanzan, and there was no bright slashing experience in the later stages, only shooting the enemy general Xu Tong when attacking Runzhou, but the strength was definitely the first array in the Earth Fire Star. In addition, Hao Siwen should be the most miserable of the Liangshan leaders. During the Battle of Hangzhou, Hao Siwen and Xu Ning patrolled together, and when they reached the north front gate, they were captured alive by the enemy raid, and later they were crushed and killed by Fang Tianding, and the first rank was hung at the head of the city for public display.
Fifth place: Ichijo Qinghu Sanniang
Hu Sanniang is one of the only three women among the leaders of Liangshan, the daughter of Dulonggang Hujiazhuang Taigong, although she is a daughter, she does not love female red, prefers dancing guns and sticks, is good at making two Sun and Moon steel knives, has a strong personality, and is more like a boy than her brother Hu Cheng. When three dozen Zhujiazhuang, Hu Sanniang's appearance was very amazing, only ten rounds to kill Wang Ying's hands and feet, the marksmanship was chaotic, and then he was easily caught alive; against Ou Peng, he did not let him have a slight upper hand; against Ma Lin, there was no difference between victory and defeat; when chasing and killing Song Jiang, he almost caught him alive, and was captured by Lin Chong for ten rounds halfway.
Hu Sanniang appears more often in books and is often used as a benchmark to measure the martial arts of the Earth Star, but her true strength is often underestimated. When she was captured alive by Lin Chong, Hu Sanniang had already played three games with Wang Ying, Ou Peng, and Ma Lin, and her state must have been discounted a lot, otherwise she could play against Lin Chong for a longer time. In addition, the third lady also has the trick of the red cotton lasso, which can often receive miraculous effects at key moments, and also increases a lot of combat strength for the third lady.
In the subsequent conquest, Hu Sanniang captured Hao Siwen with a red cotton noose; against Peng Xuan for twenty rounds, he used a red cotton lasso to capture him alive; and then against Hu Yanzhuo, still fighting with him for more than ten rounds, which made Hu Yanzhuo's heart burn. Here is an interesting description, Hu Yan scorched the three ladies and sold a flaw to let her in. Generally speaking, "selling flaws" means to be beheaded, but Third Lady Hu quickly blocked Hu Yan's deadly whip and then escaped. This is the only experience in "Water Margin" to escape from the "selling flaws" tactic.
In the battles of Zhengliao, Tianhu, Wangqing, and Fangla, the third lady of Hu made many military achievements. During the conquest of Liao, together with her husband Wang Ying, he captured Princess Tianshou alive. During the conquest of Tian Hu, he beheaded the enemy general Sheng Ben, but was defeated by the female general Qiong Ying. During the conquest of FangLa, he captured the enemy generals Guan And Wen Kejang alive, and finally died in order to save Wang Ying by the enemy general Zheng Biao with gilded copper bricks hitting the middle door.
