In the modern information age, no many people will start practicing martial arts from an early age like the ancients, let alone practicing three volts in winter and three in summer, and martial arts have slowly evolved into a form of art performance. However, in ancient times, martial arts can be said to be a key factor in measuring a man's ability, because in the era of cold weapons, a general with high martial arts was often able to form an iron army and make the enemy feel frightened.
It's just that many of the fierce generals we think are exaggerated after the artistic processing in novels or film and television works, but they are actually not so powerful. For example, Lü Bu, the first fierce general of the Three Kingdoms that we are very familiar with, although Lü Bu was also brave and martial in the history of zhengshi, he was known as a flying general. However, it would be exaggerated to say that Lü Bu could become the first fierce general in that era when the masses rose together, and in the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Lü Bu was holding the Fang Tian Painting Blade and looking at the crowd with a demonic posture.
And there are four recognized fierce generals in the history of our country, each of whom can be a hundred, and others are much inferior to them. So who are these four fierce generals? What kind of era are they in? And what kind of achievements do they have? Let's take a look! (Categorized by character's era)
White
After hundreds of years of conquest in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States, the pattern of the Seven Heroes of the Warring States has also undergone many changes. The State of Yan slowly declined because it had to divide its troops against the Xiongnu in the north, and the State of Wei slowly declined because of Sun Bing's siege of Wei to save Zhao, and so on. Through the joint efforts of several generations of monarchs, the State of Qin has gradually developed from a small country to the boss of the Seven Kingdoms. And Bai Qi's contribution can be said to be the greatest contribution.
During the reign of King Zhaoxiang of Qin, Bai Qi served as the commander of the army for more than thirty years, capturing more than 70 cities for the Qin state and killing about 1.75 million enemies. Because of the pit killing of Zhao Jun, 400,000 white people are also known as killing gods. Moreover, Bai Qi's military concept was very advanced, he was one of the few military jurists at that time who did not carry out military operations for the purpose of attacking the city strategically, and from an objective point of view, Bai Qi suppressed the military strength of various countries and laid a good foundation for Qin Shi Huang to unify the world.
Xiang Yu
In the "History", Xiang Yu is eight feet tall and has infinite strength, can easily lift the big ding, and has the reputation of "pulling up the mountain and the world" and "ten thousand enemies". However, although Xiang Yu's martial arts were very strong, his personality was really not suitable for being a king, he was only suitable for being a fierce general who charged into battle.
Han Xin
Han Xin and Xiang Yu were military geniuses of the same era, and were also called "Bing Immortals" by later generations. Unlike Xiang Yu, although Han Xin's martial arts were not as good as Xiang Yu's, Han Xin's strategic ability was not one point or two higher than Xiang Yu's, and during the Battle of Xiaxia, Han Xin thought of using Chu Ge to disintegrate the fighting spirit of Xiang Yu's army, which was really a brilliant plan for the soldiers who surrendered without fighting. Unfortunately, Han Xin was suspected because of his military merits, and was finally killed by Lü Hou and Xiao He.

Huo Wentai was the nephew of Emperor Wu of Han's empress Wei Zifu, although the family was prominent, but Huo Wentyi was not satisfied with being an idle son in the army, he wanted to go to the battlefield to make meritorious achievements. When he was 17 years old, Huo was sent by Emperor Wu of Han to fight against the Xiongnu, and when he was not afraid of tigers, he led an iron horse to kill 2028 enemy troops, so he was named the Champion Hou.
In 119 BC, Huo went ill and annihilated the main Xiongnu force, and a solemn ceremony was held on the Wolf Juxu Mountain. This is also the origin of the "Sealing Wolf Juxu", and later generations of warriors will also regard the Sealing Wolf Juxu as the highest glory of RongMa's life.
