What is history: it is the echo of the past to the future, the reflection of the future on the past. - Hugo
There were 108 good men in Liangshan, and at the beginning, Song Jiang used the banner of "for the Heavenly Path", relying on these 108 good men to harass the Song Dynasty, which was quite a headache, in order to solve this problem, the imperial court had to recruit Song Jiang and others.
After being surrendered, Liangshan became a member of the imperial court, they attacked Tian Qing, Wang Hu, and the Northern Expedition to the Liao State, and for a while they achieved great success and became the most effective unit of the imperial court, but why did they suffer heavy losses when they conquered Fang La? The 108 good guys almost folded in half, what the hell is going on?
There are 108 good men in Liangshan, divided into seventy-two earth fires and thirty-six heavenly gangs, among these people there are not many people who really have the ability, many of them are mediocre people, and in Fang La, there are eight people with high skills that we are familiar with, and it is precisely by virtue of these eight masters that Fang La actually made the Liangshan army lose soldiers and suffer heavy losses.
These eight masters of Fang La were Lü Shi nang, Pang Wanchun, Li Tianyan, Fang Jie, Si Xingfang, Wang Yin, Deng Yuanjue, and Shi Bao, all of whom were extraordinary in their skills, and they all killed many good men in Liangshan, among which Pang Wanchun, Li Tianyan, Wang Yin, and Shi Bao killed the most good men.
Pang Wanchun was known as "Xiao Yang Youji", his archery skills were very high, when he was guarding Yuling Pass, he designed to kill Li Zhong, Shi Jin, Xue Yong, Ou Peng, Shi Xiu, Yang Chun, Chen Da and others, but unfortunately Pang Wanchun wanted to rob the village, and was captured by the Liangshan army. He was killed by Lu Junyi to honor the good men of Liangshan who died.
Li Tianyan is also a powerful character, facing the four people of Liangshan, he kills Zhou Tong and Zhang Qing, Li Zhong and Dong Ping are wounded, but Dong Ping is finally hacked to death by his subordinates. Li Tianyan killed three good men alone, but unfortunately he finally met Lu Junyi, who was killed after thirty rounds.
Wang Yin is also a skill, he is in and out of the phase, the power is infinite, especially a steel gun, killed four Liangshan heroes, and finally in order to kill Wang Yin, Liangshan gathered Lin Chong, Zou Yuan, Zou Run, Sun Li, Huang Xin five talents to kill him.
There is also Shi Bao, he is one of the four marshals of Fang La, not only is his martial skills strong, his wisdom is also very high, a splitting wind knife, a meteor hammer, once killed six good men of Liangshan, and he also had the upper hand when he fought with Guan Sheng, it can be seen that if Shi Bao is placed in the Liangshan Army, he is definitely one of the best figures, but unfortunately he committed suicide in the end.
The loss of Liangshan's troops will not be accidental, but doomed. Although Fang La only had eight generals, each of them had many young generals under him, and these young generals were all extraordinary, such as Lü Shinan and his eleven men were collectively known as the "Twelve Gods of Jiangnan", so in this way, Fang La and Liangshan were almost on a par with each other.
What's more, Fang La belonged to the local defense, waiting for work and familiarizing himself with the terrain, while the Liangshan Army had not been rested after the first three major battles, leading the tired army to attack Fang La in a place where the terrain was unfamiliar and unpopular, how could it not pay a heavy price? Without the strong support of the imperial court, Liangshan would not have been able to defeat Fang La.
