One Lü two Zhao three Dianwei, four passes, five horses and six Zhang Fei. The reason why Dianwei was able to surpass Guan Yu Ma Chao Zhang Fei and become the "Twenty-Four Generals of the Three Kingdoms" was because his last battle was very tragic: after being shot more than a dozen times in the body, he could still grab two people as weapons and smash eight or nine enemies in a row.
Of course, the Twenty-Four Kingdoms of the Three Kingdoms will be arranged according to the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Dianwei used two people as weapons to smash eight or nine enemies, which is also said in the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", people who have seen the history of the Three Kingdoms and understand the ancient text know the truth of the matter: Dianwei is indeed more fierce, but he did not use two enemies as weapons, in fact, this is simply impossible.
Our topic today is to simulate and restore the whole process of the death of Dianwei in the Battle of Wancheng: Dianwei Changji has not been lost, why should two soldiers be used as weapons? Dianwei can carry two enemies as weapons, can he kill eight or nine people?
In the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", the depiction of Dianwei as a weapon is indeed very wonderful: "Wei has no piece of armor, dozens of shots up and down, and Wu himself is killed." The knife was useless, so Wei immediately abandoned the knife and carried two soldiers in both hands to meet the enemy, killing eight or nine people. ”
When Mao Zonggang saw this story, he couldn't help but sigh: "Double as a double halberd, Daqi!" ”
Even Tyson O'Neill Boulder Johnson could not pick up people as weapons, according to the battlefield situation at that time, Dianwei had killed several enemies, it can be said that knives and guns are everywhere, and picking up one at random is better than a soft person.
According to Dianwei's strength, it is possible to pick up two people, and this point is very clear in the "Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms, Volume XVIII": "Dianwei is tall in appearance, has superior strength, good wine and food, drinks and drinks, and is good at holding a large double halberd and a long knife, etc. According to dianwei's strength, the military said: 'There are strong men under the account, and they have a pair of halberds and eighty pounds. ’”
One pound in the Eastern Han Dynasty is equivalent to the current 222.73 grams, whether it is Chen Shou, the author of the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" or the Cao Ying soldiers of that year, they all know how much eighty pounds are weighed, and we can also know that each of the Dianwei halberds is equivalent to the current seventeen pounds a little more. This is very reliable, because don't say that the fierce general who has gone down in history like Dianwei is the current weightlifter, and it is not difficult to pick up seventeen pounds of iron halberds and play a hundred and ten times.
Dianwei has great strength and likes to use heavy weapons, which is also recorded in the main history: when Cao Cao invited Zhang Xiu's generals to drink, he behaved very "politely", he personally poured wine for everyone (xingjiu, that is, pouring wine in turn), but behind him was the fierce god Dianwei, the big axe in his hand, the axe blade was a foot long, he stared at his eyes, no one dared not drink.
Dianwei is tall and powerful, but it does not prove that he will be embarrassed to have a long sword and not use it, and go to carry people to fight - that can only knock the opponent away and not kill.
So what is the real situation of the Battle of Wancheng? Based on the Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms and related records, the author has carried out the following simulated restoration (unless specially marked, the bold characters are from the Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms, Volume XVIII):
At that time, Cao Cao made the same mistake as the iron sand palm Duan Peng in "Bright Sword", and Zhang Xiu, who had just surrendered, after being ashamed and annoyed, heard that Cao Cao was wooing Hu Che'er, the first fierce general in his army, which made him rebel: "Xiu has a pro-Hu Che'er, bravely crowning his army." Taizu loved qi Xiaojian and held it with gold. Embroidered and suspected that Taizu wanted to stab him left and right, so he rebelled. (Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms, Vol. VIII, Pei Songzhi's notes on Fu Zi)"
The Romance of the Three Kingdoms says that Zhang Xiu was annoyed and angry because Cao Cao laughed at Zhang Ji's widow Zou Shi, which seems a bit unreliable, because in that year, it was a very normal thing for a widow to remarry, and the generational division was not a problem: Liu Bei married Lady Wu, the widow of Liu Mao of the same emperor, and both Wu Yi and Wu Ban were very happy; Zhao Fan wanted to marry his widow to Zhao Yun, and he did not blush at all; Cao Cao gave up his three daughters to Liu Xie, and Liu Xie gave birth to two daughters, and both married his uncle Cao Pi.
The reason why Zhang Xiu rebelled against Jia Xu's fall was because his life was threatened, so he preemptively moved, Cao Cao was caught off guard, and ran very badly: "Taizu is unfavorable to the battle, and he rides lightly to lead." ”
Cao Cao threw down the army and ran away with the light cavalry, and the lieutenant Dianwei and more than a dozen warriors in charge of the break were heavily encircled, but his weapon was not lost, but the hand-dancing halberd killed the four sides: "There are more thieves before and after, Wei hits it left and right with a long halberd, and when he enters, he destroys more than ten spears." ”
In the novel, it is not possible for a general to kill thousands of people, and after the death of the enemy with two fists, the evil tiger is also afraid of wolves, and Zhang Xiu's rebels kill all of Dianwei's subordinates and begin to engage Dianwei in close combat (short soldier engagement, thief front fight).
In the melee, two rebels rushed to Dianwei's side, and by this time the spear was no longer very useful, and Dianwei grabbed and killed the two men (killing them with two thieves).
Dianwei killed two approaching enemies, frightening the others from moving forward, and Dianwei took the initiative to launch a suicide attack at this time: "Wei Fu was a thief, killed several people, wounded and re-fired, and died of glaring and scolding." ”
The "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" evidence in the history of this record, wonderful depiction of the war situation at that time, but wonderful, but ignored a detail: "two thieves to kill", this "zhi", refers to these two daredevils, "coercion" is not picked up, but with the arm clamped, in fact, Dianwei used a similar move like the fighting "guillotine", Sheng Sheng strangled the two people to death - both arms are sandwiched between people, it is impossible to beat with fists.
The author's superficial knowledge of ancient texts may not be very accurate in his translation and understanding of the historical materials of the Three Kingdoms, so in the end, I still have to ask the readers: Was it possible that dianwei grabbed the legs of two enemies after killing them and became a two-legged "one-legged copper man"?
The author only suspects one point here: the enemy who was killed by Dianwei did not harden so quickly, is this not equivalent to taking a cotton bag to hit a sandbag? Even if he is swept away, he will not be killed with one blow, right?
