The answer that some friends may blurt out is naturally Li Yuanba.

According to the legend of the Tang Dynasty, the first hero in Sui and Tang Dynasties made good use of a pair of hammers weighing 800 Jin (the golden hammer for beating drums and jars is only found in the legend of Xing Tang Dynasty), riding a Wan Li Dragon Pony with white spots on its crotch, which can walk 10,000 miles day and night (the average speed is about 375km/h, which is faster than the running speed of Fuxing), wearing a bunch of hair and black gold. At the end of Sui Dynasty and the beginning of Tang Dynasty, the world was in chaos, and heroes came forth in large numbers. It can be said that God killed God and Buddha killed Buddha-Yuwen Chengdou, Wu and Wu Tianxi, who survived under the hammer, can blow this cow for a lifetime.

Heroes are still like this, not to mention those fish soldiers. In the battle of Siming Mountain, he defeated the 2.3 million troops under the Eighth Route Army against the king by himself. In the battle of Purple Mountain, another horse faced an army of 6.5438+0.8 million hammers. Two hammers simply turned into tactical nuclear weapons, killing 6.5438+0.8 million troops, leaving 650,000. ...

It is said that in the Northern Song Dynasty, which had the largest number of soldiers in Chinese historical dynasties, the national regular army in its heyday was only in its early 654.38+04,000, which was almost enough for Li Yuanba to fight one battle a day; Let's make another comparison-the total population of the country was about 46 million in the fifth year of the Great Cause of Sui Dynasty (AD 609), and less than 8 million remained in the Tang Wude period after 10. We take the median of 27 million as the total population of Zijinshan during the war, which means that Li Yuanba killed 4.3% of the national population of the Great Sui Dynasty in World War I. ...

Such characters and deeds can only exist in novels or other worlds, so the above can only be regarded as a joke.

In the real world we live in, human beings have the ability to limit. In the impression of many people, the famous soldiers and fierce generals who really kill the enemy on the battlefield are actually far below our imagination. Don't say ten thousand enemies, one thousand enemies. If you are in a chaotic battlefield, without the blessing of heavy guards and armored soldiers, you can still get away with it under the siege of several enemies. This is a great hero.

And the record of killing the enemy by one person in World War I is only a few hundred people.

In the famous Hongmen Banquet of Chu-Han hegemony at the end of Qin Dynasty, the brave Fan Kuai went down in history because he stood up as a savior and chewed a pig elbow. It is said that Han Taizu Liu Bang had Han Xin, Sean, Xiao He and Chen Ping. But if it comes to the occasion of directly rolling up his sleeves and choking, the Han army will count one from top to bottom, and no one really dares to say that he is worse than Fan Yan.

It can be said that in the era of the late Qin Dynasty and the early Han Dynasty, if the force value is one-on-one, I'm afraid no one dares to fight Fan Kuai except Xiang Yu.

So, what brilliant achievements did Ma Rong, the first general of the Han army, make in his life? Fortunately, Tai Shigong took time out of his busy schedule to write a short message:

That is to say, Fan Kuai basically took a back seat from the first year of Qin Ershi (209 BC) and Liu Bang to the twelfth year of Gao Han (195 BC). During his 15 career, * * personally cut off the head of 176 enemy and captured 288 prisoners. In the battle of leading the troops alone, he also defeated 7 armies, breached 5 cities, pacified 6 counties and 52 counties, and captured 1 prime minister, 12 general, 1 other miscellaneous officials.

Seeing Fan Kuai's record, will someone suddenly feel "ok"? Still dismissive-the first warrior in the early Han Dynasty, that's all?

Well, Fan Kuai's killing number seems a bit out of reach. Why don't you try Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu?

After all, excluding those abnormal characters who have been infinitely strengthened or even invented in novels and legends, Xiang Yu is recognized as the first hero who can fight best in the official history-"Brave Feather Never Matched" (My humble opinion on reading history, Volume 1).

It's a pity that Tai Shigong didn't make a comprehensive statistics on his record like Fan Kuai (it is estimated that it is impossible to get this data), but between the lines, we can still feel Xiang Yu's inhuman strength.

After Gaixia's fiasco, Xiang Yu fled to Yanling (now northwest of Dingyuan, Anhui Province), with only 28 riders under his command, while the Han army had thousands of pursuers.

Under normal circumstances, in such a desperate situation, normal people will feel desperate and then surrender or commit suicide. But Xiang Yu is not a normal person after all. What he saw in his eyes was not winning or losing, but a good opportunity for World War I. So Xiang Yu not only decided to fight back, but also dared to divide his troops when facing enemies several times his own, and then went deep into the uneven lines alone, personally beheaded two players and killed hundreds of enemies, while his own side only killed two people:

Even in the real desperate situation along the Wujiang River, Xiang Yu was dying. He still "killed hundreds of Han troops alone" but "suffered more than ten injuries" (ibid.). Maybe he killed enough people or was tired of killing people, so Xiang Yu cut himself with a horizontal knife.

Xiang Yu is like a lion. As his opponent, he can only accept the fact that he is a sheep.

And like this, the record of killing more than one hundred people in World War I, Xiang Yu * * * has three times, which is unique in the history of China. Therefore, Xiang Yu's position in the official history is extremely high, and only the ancient god of war, Chi You, can compare with it.

Xiang Yu's record of three "hundred beheadings" is unparalleled, and it is actually extremely rare that he can kill more than 100 people in the first world war in his life-I'm sorry that I'm just ignorant, and I've turned over the information for a long time and only found two people with exact records.

In the story of Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Zhao Yun, who was "courageous", rushed to kill Liu Chan, the young master, many times in the battle of Dangyang. "Hold the left Lord, deus ex, cut down two banners and take three; Stabbed the sword before and after, and killed more than 50 Cao Ying famous soldiers (the 41st time of Romance of the Three Kingdoms)-killed more than 50 famous soldiers, and the fish soldiers were at least 10 times more than that, right? So isn't Zhao Yun more fierce than Xiang Yu?

But in the official history, none of this happened. Zhaoyun is to protect Liu Chan, but also to avoid the lady, by the way, but his performance in the battle can only be described as dull:

In Wei lue, written by Cao Wei's doctor, Zhao Yunlian didn't even care about the young master-the big ear father ran away by himself, and the small ear son was ignored at all. So unlucky Adou was not only trafficked to Guanzhong by traffickers, but also married a daughter-in-law there. Later, it was not until Liu Bei won Yizhou that he found his son through Zhang Lu.

However, the story of Zhao Yun's killing a "seven in and seven out" in the enemy's camp still has a prototype, that is, Cao Wei and Wen Yang, a famous soldier in the Western Jin Dynasty.

Wen Yang, whose real name is Wen Chu (called Wen Shu in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms), is the son of Wen Qin, the secretariat of Cao Wei and Yangzhou, and is famous for his bravery. In the sixth year of Jiaping (AD 255), the general Sima Shi deposed Cao Fang, the Wei Emperor, and Wu and Wen Qin, then the general of Zhendong, fought back and were suppressed by Sima Shi's army. When Qin Wangjun was defeated and Sima Shi was in hot pursuit, Wen Yuan's performance began:

Yang Wen is really fierce, comparable to Xiang Yu, not being driven crazy, but compared with Zhao Yun in the novel, it is still a bit interesting-after all, there is a drag bottle in Brother Zi Long's arms, isn't it?

And can be compared with Xiang Yu's "crazy" state, is the northern song dynasty star Yang Ye.

Yes, it is the originator of Yang Jiajiang in the novel. He is also the only person in history who is as cruel as stories and legends in the real world.

In the third year of Yongxi (AD 986), Zhao Huanbing of Song Taizong made a three-way northern expedition to Qidan, hoping to recover sixteen states in World War I ... Among them, the marked army took famous soldiers Pan Mei and Yang Ye as deputy commanders respectively.

As a result, Cao Bin in Donglu was defeated in the battle of Qigou Pass, which led to Song Jun's retreat. Yang Ye was besieged by Chen Gukou because of Pan Mei's misjudgment of the war situation and Wang Shu's aggressive behavior, and eventually he was exhausted, seriously injured, captured and died of hunger strike.

In the last battle of life, Yang Ye, as desperate as Xiang Yu, may burst into superhuman fighting power under the stimulation of adrenaline and kill the Khitans like chopping melons and chopping vegetables:

It is said that in the era of hot weapons, a soldier squatted in the trench with a rifle. In theory, as long as he is not killed, he can fight to the end of time-after all, how much effort can it take to pull the trigger? But the war in the era of cold weapons is completely different. Every time you kill an enemy, you need to spend a lot of physical strength to wield a knife and spear to stab. Even a ranged attack is no different. If a well-trained archer shoots more than a dozen arrows in a row, his arm is basically useless.

Therefore, the ancient army may be able to fight continuously for a whole day, but that was based on constant command and dispatch and timely troop rotation. But Yang Ye was besieged by the Khitan. How much money can we have for rotation and rest? How to say "from day to night" takes four or five hours, which means that Yang almost wiped out one or two enemies in one minute in constant fighting.

If I were an abandoned house, it is estimated that my body will be hollowed out with a knife and I will be foaming at the mouth in less than a minute. It is conceivable how callous Yang is, because of his bravery and long-term endurance-if Ye Longli (Southern Song Dynasty, editor of Qidan National Records) is not exaggerating, Yang Ye may be the only valiant soldier in the history of letters who can be compared with Xiang Yu.

Heroes like Xiang Yu, Yang Ye and even Fan Kuai and Wen Yang can incarnate and kill gods on the battlefield, but the most critical factor is not talent or combat skills, but "plug-in".

Simply put, it is three things: guards, armored soldiers.

In fact, even if Xiang Yu and Fan Kuai meet on the battlefield, the probability of "fighting generals" appearing in movies or novels is extremely low. Even if two people bump into each other in a tribe, it is estimated that there is a one-and-a-half-chance, not to mention the outcome, and maybe they cross without seeing who their opponents are.

Even if the strength of the two is very different, it is difficult to decide the outcome in a short time. After all, as important people of one party, they all enjoy high security measures-how can we let the Lord jump out and kill first on the premise that the guards are not dead?

For example, Xiang Yu and Han Xin, the former is strong enough to kill the latter, but who can say that Han Xin is not as good as Xiang Yu in fighting?

Therefore, whether it is a name or not has little to do with the value of force. So how strong is the so-called "smart and brave" star's ability to kill the enemy?

Here we can take Jiang Wei, a famous Shu-Han scholar in the Three Kingdoms as an example.

In the game "Three Kingdoms 14", Jiang Wei's basic parameters are very balanced, with 9 1 command, 89 force and 90 intelligence. He is a "hexagonal warrior". Even personal combat effectiveness can rank among the quasi-first-class.

In the sixth year of Jing Yao (AD 263), the general of Wei, Deng Ai, attacked Shu. Liu Chan not only surrendered, but also ordered Jiang Wei not to resist. In desperation, the latter chose to surrender to Zhong Hui with different ambitions.

Then Jiang Wei kept encouraging Zhong to rebel, and as a result, things were exposed. In the last desperate struggle, Jiang Wei, who was once good at "strategizing and winning thousands of miles", had to go into battle in person and finally showed his ability to chop people in history books:

"Kill five or six people with your bare hands"-this is the force level of 89 in the game.

Moreover, this kind of confrontation is unfair in theory, because Jiang Wei has a "plug-in" compared with his opponent.

Simply put, this plug-in is armor.

In other words, armor looks unremarkable. In many TV dramas, as long as an arrow is shot, no matter you wear armored leather armor, you will die like paper dust. But in fact, this is sheer nonsense.

If you don't accept it, "one armor and three crossbows, the top three go to hell"?

In the era of cold weapons, weapons such as swords, bows and arrows were not banned from private ownership in most dynasties. Although heavy weapons such as spears and axes are banned, the punishment for those who violate the ban is often not severe. Only crossbows and armor, especially the latter, are really valued. Once they are privately held, there is a risk of losing their heads.

Because of the poor technical level in ancient times, the steel output of powerful dynasties such as the Tang and Song Dynasties of 10 could not keep up with that of a village-run steel plant, which led to the armor that consumed more steel than weapons becoming extremely expensive and scarce. In fact, even the Han and Tang Dynasties, a powerful dynasty famous for its military achievements in ancient and modern times, could hardly have more than 50% of its regular army in its heyday (to emphasize, ignoring the armor rate of protected areas is hooliganism), otherwise the government finance at that time could not afford it at all.

So what's the difference between having armor and not having armor, or wearing fine armor and poor armor? Li Daoxuan, a general of the Tang Dynasty who shined brilliantly in World War I in Hulao Pass, personally demonstrated to us:

At that time, Li Shimin, the king of Qin, still dared to take the initiative in the case of disparity between the enemy and the enemy. One of the reasons is that his 3500 armored cavalry is well-equipped and armed to the teeth, which is not as good as Dou Jiande's 65438+ million mob. Li Daoxuan, the cousin of Li Shimin, the king of Huaiyang County in Datang, was killed many times inside and outside the enemy lines. He was shot with countless arrows all over his body, just like a hedgehog, but he was still alive and kicking under the protection of armor. Instead, he shot one with a bow and arrow and hung up the other.

If you hit me, it doesn't matter. I hit you and you hang up-how did Comrade Lao Dou fight this battle?

This is the power of armor. In fact, it is not difficult for an ordinary foot soldier to put on refined armor and play the record of "killing five or six people with his bare hands" like Jiang Wei. On the contrary, if this layer of "plug-in" on the general is stripped off, the so-called fierce generals and their deterrent power will be greatly reduced.

Dian Wei, the vanguard of Cao Wei in the Three Kingdoms period, is a typical example.

Dian Wei is to Cao Cao what Fan Kuai is to Liu Bang, and he is the number one thug of the two armies. For example, in the battle of Puyang, in the face of Lu Bu's three-sided siege, Cao Jun fell into a trough. Dian Wei led dozens of strong men to enlist to break the array, and only made two demands-each person should wear two layers of heavy armor, and only spears and halberds should be used as weapons. It was under the blessing of such an armored soldier that Dian Wei was like a god and Lu Bu fled:

But in the second year of Jian 'an (AD 197), Zhang Xiu attacked Cao Ying at night, and the situation was completely different. At that time, in order to cover Cao Cao's escape, Dian Wei was alone at the gate of the camp. Probably because he fought in a hurry and his armor was incomplete. Although he still had an iron halberd weighing 80 pounds in his hand, he was "beaten dozens of times" after a fight. Since then, although Dian Wei rose up and Yu Yong "stepped forward and killed several people as a thief", he was shot dead on the spot due to serious injuries.

Just imagine, if Dian Wei's armor is complete, he can even "wear two armor" as he did in Puyang, maybe he can really hold the camp gate. Even lane is bad to kill out, broke the record of xiang yu's murder.

Therefore, in ancient times, people who were generals were either heavily guarded and the enemy couldn't reach them at all, or they could even finish one big battle after another by the spring without touching water, or they were endowed with unique armor and natural advantages, and they couldn't kill five or six people by hand in one battle, which was basically a shameful thing.

It is not easy for a person to kill an enemy in a battle with similar strength, morale, equipment and training level.

I've never seen a killer, but I've seen a pig.

5, six men with big arms and round waist, facing a dying fat pig, can't help but chase after others' ass all over the yard. In the end, in desperation, the unlucky pig was "beaten dozens of times" and still rushed to the wolves until the blood ran out.

So there was no blood sausage when killing pigs that year, which left a deep impression on me.

That fat pig was so Buddhist when he was alive that I didn't bother to move a few feet. But once faced with life and death, the lazy pig becomes brave. If you really have to wait for a second, it is estimated that you don't have to work hard.

Pigs are like this, but people are actually no different. On the battlefield, this law can be simply summarized as "being afraid of being knocked out, being knocked out is afraid of death."

For example, after Shang Yang's political reform, he was stimulated by the military title-in their eyes, the enemy is no longer the enemy, but can be exchanged for the title, land, money and his wife's head, waiting for them to pick like ripe fruits. So when the Qin people with only the word "meritorious military service" left in their minds went to the battlefield, they became crazy in the mouth of the six countries in Shandong, and even their armor was too heavy. With bare arms, they screamed and launched a deadly charge:

Under such Qin Rui's spear, the so-called Wei Wuzu, Qi, Zhao Bianqi, Han, Chu and Yan Dou are just native tile dogs and lambs to be slaughtered.

In front of such Qin Ruishi, even if Xiang Yu, Yang Ye, Wen Yang, Fan Kuai and Dian Wei collectively crossed the past, they would never be able to copy their fate.

The record of killing hundreds of people or even hundreds of people in World War I in history actually has certain contingency and luck.

For example, the "seven in and seven out" that made Wen Yang famous in World War I was caused by the general Sima Shi deposing Wei Di Cao Fang, which led to Wu Hewen Qin's resentment, which led to authentic Wei Jun's doubts and low morale, while the rebellious Wei Jun was United and high-spirited. At the same time, Sima Shi was unlucky because he had a tumor in his eye and urged the doctor to cut it. Yang wanted to attack, but he was surprised (The Book of Jin, the Book of Later Han, Emperor Ji II)-the eyes of the Lord of the country were about to open, so how could he command? It was with the cooperation of Wei Jun that Yang Wencai was able to enter and leave the enemy camp unscathed.

In contrast, Xiang Yu's luck is not as good as Wen Yang's, but the situation that the Han army pursued him was not much better. It is said that after the battle of Gaixia, the end of the battle between Chu and Han was doomed. As long as you catch Xiang Yu again or kill Xiang Yu, you're done.

Seventy-two worships were over, and when the last one shivered, the mind of the Han army increased.

Some people want to take jobs from Xiang Yu, some people don't want to die at the last moment before victory, some people may have been planning a better life for their wives and children after the war, and some people may just want to make a fortune ... So before the last moment of Xiang Yu's life comes, the enemies he faces are actually in ruins.

It is precisely because of this that crazy Xiang completed the feat of killing hundreds of people. Because of this, after Xiang Yu's death, the Han army killed dozens of people in order to compete for his remains. Because of this, if it is not Xiang Yu, there are still 28 riders left, but 28,000 or even 2,800 people, and there may be a chance to make a comeback.

In addition to the will to die, Yang killed the quartet at the mouth of Chenjiaguchi, and there were also factors of Qidan chaos.

At the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, they all fought against the Khitan, losing more than winning, giving people the impression that the Song Dynasty was weak and the Liao Dynasty was strong, but it was not entirely accurate.

At least at the beginning of the founding of the Northern Song Dynasty, Song Jun's strength was not bad. On the contrary, its heavily guarded infantry array made the Khitans very headache.

Before the rise of Mongols, nomadic peoples such as Xiongnu, Xianbei, Turkic and Qidan fought the same thing, that is, riding and shooting by taking advantage of the mobility of cavalry. If you win, you will pursue it; If you lose, you run faster than a rabbit; If it is difficult to tell the winner at the moment, fly a kite and try to bring down, thin and bring down the Han army, which is dominated by infantry, in sports operations, and then beat up Reservoir Dogs.

If the Han army is unmoved or can't drag it down, then these nomadic cavalry actually have no good way. You mean close combat? Sorry, there is really no one to accompany her except Jurchen who can fish, hunt, graze and plow everything. Why? Although these Hu people who grew up eating meat and drinking milk look tough and strong, they are afraid of death because of the harsh living environment and sparse population. Seeing that the situation is not good, running is their instinct and housekeeping skill. Even if you are cornered, the first choice is to surrender, fight to the death, and fight with trapped animals. I just think too much.

What's more, if we confront the disciplined and obedient Han army, it is difficult for nomadic people who are born sloppy and lack collective consciousness to gain the upper hand, let alone do such stupid things.

Therefore, in powerful dynasties such as Han and Tang dynasties, the biggest headache for the Han army was never how to win the conference semifinals, but how to find and catch up with these guys who could escape better than rabbits. Only in the weak dynasties such as the Jin Dynasty, the Five Dynasties and the Ten Kingdoms, can the Hu people throw their weight around and look powerful.

In fact, the Khitans are also bears. The battle of Qigou Pass was that Yelvxiuge kept flying kites in Cao Bin, and ambushed when the latter's aggressive grain and grass would lead to low morale, and won a great victory. When Yang Ye was besieged in Chenjiagukou, there were no reinforcements outside, and there seemed to be no way out. The Khitans drifted away, gave up their good riding and shooting, and set out to win credit.

It is said that fighting is not street fighting, and Yang Ye is not alone. With the blessing of the army and the protection of the armored soldiers, it is not surprising that the exchange ratio is high.

No matter Xiang Yu or Yang Ye, if all external factors are excluded, they can fight against one enemy once again, and no matter how many plug-ins, they can't win.

After all, reality is not a different world or a novel, and sometimes human resources are poor, which is not just talk.
