"Water Margin" is one of the four masterpieces of ancient classics, and it is also a classical novel that I love very much. In "Water Margin", Chao Gai did not make much achievements when he was the lord of Liangshan, and the three Zhujiazhuang, the great broken horse, and the three mountains to fight Qingzhou were all Song Jiang's big strokes.
After Chao Gai realized that he was gradually about to be overtaken by Song Jiang, he insisted on personally leading an army to attack Zengtou City. As a result, Chao Gai fought such a big battle and was shot to death by Shi Wengong.
In "Water Margin", although Shi Wengong did not appear for a long time, his martial arts were high and could be called a glimpse. Although Qin Ming's personality was somewhat reckless and impulsive, his martial arts were still at a quasi-first-class level, and among the five tiger generals of Liangshan, although Qin Ming was inferior to Lin Chong and Guan Sheng, he was also considered to be decent.
But Qin Ming was in front of Shi Wengong, he couldn't even hold on to 20 rounds, and he was defeated. The Water Margin figure we are going to talk about today is very similar to Shi Wengong, he can quickly defeat the Five Tigers level master in 30 rounds, but in the end he was defeated by the good man of Liangshan with a dark weapon.
Five tiger-level masters
In "Water Margin", the Five Tigers of Liangshan basically represent the peak level of the Liangshan Horse Army. The five tigers of Liangshan will be Lin Chong, Guan Sheng, Dong Ping, Hu Yanzhuo, and Qin Ming. Liangshan was full of talents, and Song Jiang also considered many other factors besides martial arts when he divided the Five Tiger Generals.
Therefore, there were some Five Tiger-level masters on Liangshan, and they were not ranked among the Five Tigers by Song Jiang. For example, Xiao Li Guanghuarong, his arrow skills are unparalleled, and his marksmanship is first-class. "Liangshan Shooting Geese" is enough to prove that Hua Rong's arrow technique can penetrate Yang in a hundred steps, and the 50-round draw with Qin Ming is enough to show that Hua Rong's marksmanship is first-class.
In addition, Yang Zhi, the blue-faced beast in the Liangshan Eight Horse Riders, was also a Five Tiger-level master. After Yang Zhi was a general, he had learned martial arts since he was a child, and he might not be proficient in eighteen kinds of weapons, but he was all-powerful in horse warfare and infantry warfare. On foot combat, Yang Zhi can fight with Lu Zhishen for 40 rounds; on horse warfare, Yang Zhi can fight with Hu Yan for 50 rounds.
In addition to Yang Zhi and Hua Rong, are there any five tiger-level masters on Liangshan? Yes! He was Xu Ning, one of the Eight Horsemen of Liangshan.
In "Water Margin", Xu Ning, like Lin Chong, is also one of the leaders of the 800,000 Forbidden Army, and a "hook and sickle gun" in his hand is a sharp blade specially designed to restrain heavy cavalry. Xu Ning originally lived a happy and happy life, but it is a pity that Xu Ning has an unlucky cousin, Tang Long, the leopard of money.
When Hu Yanzhuo attacked Liangshan, Tang Long, in order to make a contribution, took the initiative to tell Song Jiang that his cousin Xu Ning had a way to deal with Hu Yanzhuo's chain of horses, so Xu Ning was thus used by Song Jiang to gain Liangshan.
Before Xu Ning went up the mountain, Lin Chong commented on Xu Ning like this: "This Xu Ning's golden gun method and hook and sickle gun method are the only steps in the world. When I was in the Beijing Division, I met, competed in martial arts, and respected and loved each other. ”
"The world is alone", this is Lin Chong's evaluation of Xu Ning's marksmanship. Lin Chong's weapon is the Zhangba Snake Spear, and his marksmanship is the top level in "Water Margin". Xu Ning was able to gain Lin Chong's approval, indicating that Xu Ning was indeed extraordinary in martial arts. During the attack on Dongping Province, Xu Ning engaged the two-gun general Dong Ping, and the two fought for a full fifty rounds, regardless of victory or defeat.
Dong Ping made two guns, Xu Ning made hook and sickle guns, and both of them were fierce generals who were mainly skilled. Dong Ping was one of the Five Tiger Generals of Liangshan, and the defeat of Dong Ping showed that Xu Ning was a master of the Five Tigers level. In "Water Margin", the five tiger-level masters can basically laugh at the battlefield, but Xu Ning also had a fiasco, he lost to the Liao general AliQi.
Aliqi defeated Xu Ning in 30 rounds
"Water Margin", Aliqi is a fierce general of the Liao Kingdom, and his appearance is described as follows:
"Wear a three-pronged purple-gold crown, a collared armored white robe, embroidered with three phoenixes on the back of the robe, a pair of yungen eagle claw boots, a finch-drawn iron bow, a pear blossom steel gun in hand, and a silver fist and flower horse."
Just by looking at Shi Nai'an's description of this person's appearance, we can know that this is a brave general who is invincible, and his length is much more powerful than that of Wang Dwarf Tiger!
After Aliqi went into battle, it was the golden gunner Xu Ning who fought him, and the original book of "Water Margin" was described as follows:
Xu Ning crossed the hook and sickle gun and fought with Ali Qi to grab the heart. The two horses met, the two generals could not fight for thirty, Xu Ning could not resist the Fan generals, and he looked forward to the front and left, and Hua Rong rushed to take the bow and arrow in his hand. ”
Xu Ning lost this battle very badly, and the misery was tragically on one of Hua Rong's "urgent" words. Hua Rong hurriedly took a bow and arrow to support Xu Ning, and Hua Rong's actions showed that Xu Ning was already in danger of being killed by Ali Qi. In "Water Margin", when a martial general falls into the inferior wind, he will generally use words such as "force cowardice" and "gradually chaotic sword technique", while Xu Ning is "looking at the front and leaving", indicating that Xu Ning has completely failed to beat Aliqi, and he is scared.
Ariki's ending: defeated by Zhang Qing's move
Aliqi quickly defeated Xu Ning in 30 rounds, which was very shocking for Song Jiang and the good men of Liangshan. Since Shi Wengong, the good men of Liangshan had never met such a strong opponent. In the three defeats of Gao Qi, there was a Jiedu envoy Wang Huan, who drew Lin Chong with 70 rounds of his elderly body.
But this Aliqi's martial arts seemed to be above Wang Huan, and Lin Chong was not sure of losing Xu Ning quickly in 30 rounds. Facing Ali Qi, Song Jiang seemed to have seen the former Shi Wengong. So which fierce general will be able to defeat Aliki? The first choice is definitely Lu Junyi, and Lu Junyi has the most stable shot.
But at this time, Liangshan is no longer what it used to be, and the masters are like clouds. Liangshan's first master of dark weapons, Zhang Qing, seized the opportunity to use his own dark weapon stone to defeat Ali Qi in one move. The original book of "Water Margin" is described as follows:
"Aliqi was in a hurry, Zhang Qingchu held down the saddle, the probe took a stone, and there was only one stone on the door, but it was like a meteor flying, and the arrow was off the string, and it hit Aliki's left eye, and the somersault fell under the horse."
Aliqi was hit to the core by Zhang Qing, and soon after he died. The armor and weapons he wore when he appeared on the scene were also rewarded by Song Jiang to Zhang Qing.
