Wang Yanzhang, a brave and warlike general, is known for his unique image of a short beard and a long one. He won thirty-six battles, so he was revered as the king of iron spears.
When the Liangshan army conquered Dongping Mansion, it encountered the flying stone offensive of Zhang Qing without feather arrows, and successively knocked down fifteen generals such as Xu Ning, Yan Shun, Han Tao, Peng Xi, Xuanzan, Hu Yanzhuo, Liu Tang, Yang Zhi, Zhu Tong, and Lei Heng in one day.
Song Jiang was amazed by Zhang Qing's bravery, but compared with Wang Yanzhang, there was still something inferior. Wang Yanzhang is a real fierce general, with a strong iron and tasselless fir penny gun to pick 36 Tang generals, thwart Liu Zhiyuan, kill the flying tiger general, return to the horse gun to pick Gao Siji, and raise the prestige of Jibaoshan, known as the iron gun general Wang Yanzhang.
During the Five Dynasties of the Tang Dynasty, Li Cunxiao and Wang Yanzhang were two invincible generals. Li Cunxiao is holding the Yuwang Divine Lance, which is invincible, and Wang Yanzhang is still ferrying in the silt river, but his muddy penny has become famous.
After Li Cunxiao was named Hengyong invincible general by Tang Xizong, Wang Yanzhang expressed dissatisfaction with this, so he took Hun Tie Penny to Li Cunxiao to challenge, but was soon defeated by Li Cunxiao.
Wang Yanzhang was convinced from then on, and vowed that as long as Li Cunxiao was alive for one day, he would never go out of the mountain. Since then, Wang Yanzhang began to go home to live in seclusion, through the study of marksmanship, based on the ferry's fir penny, innovated a set of Wang family guns, and added a large iron gun head to the muddy iron penny, making it a muddy iron tasselless fir penny gun.
Since then, Wang Yanzhang has been known as the iron spear general, and his muddy penny has also become his symbol.
Li Cunxiao passed away, Wang Yanzhang reappeared in the rivers and lakes, and because he was grateful to Zhu Wen for his kindness, he took refuge in his command. Zhu Wen was overjoyed and immediately named Wang Yanzhang the generalissimo of soldiers and horses.
Li Cunxiao is dead, Wang Yanzhang is invincible, and Zhu Wen's actions are even more unscrupulous. Soon after, Zhu Wen tricked Tang Zhaozong to Bianliang, abolished Zhaozong and destroyed the Tang Dynasty, and established the Great Liang.
Wang Yanzhang is mighty in Jibaoshan.
The fall of the Tang Dynasty caused a shock among the princes of the world. Li Keyong, the king of Jin, was indignant at this, and spread the word to the world, summoning the Tang clan relatives and princes from all walks of life. For a time, Li Jie, the king of Luzhou, Li Shan, the king of Henan, Li Bi, the king of Qingzhou, and other Tang clan relatives, as well as the princes of the twenty-seven towns, all gathered in Taiyuan.
In the end, Taiyuan gathered 940,000 soldiers and horses and more than 840 generals, who were determined to march to Jibaoshan to jointly crusade against Zhu Wen and restore the glory of the Tang Dynasty.
Jibao Mountain has a dangerous terrain and has always been a battleground for soldiers. Zhu Wen was to protect Jiangshan, ordered Wang Yanzhang to be the marshal, Wang Yanlong to be the vanguard, and led 100,000 elite soldiers and 100 generals to advance into Jibaoshan.
When Li Keyong heard the news, he was shocked, fearing that no one could defeat Wang Yanzhang. Sure enough, in the battle of Jibaoshan, Wang Yanzhang was armed with a muddy iron and tasselless fir penny gun, and successively picked out Tang generals Li Sizhao, Li Cunzhi, Zheng Ji, Le Rong, Qingzhou Wang Li Bi, Suzhou Wang Li Yan, Sichuan Wang Li Fu, Jiangxia Wang Li Xun, Yunzhou Hou Helian Duo, Tongtai Marshal Yue Yanzhen, Yue Cunxun and others, with their own strength, day after day, they picked 36 Tang generals in a row, and shocked the world.
The next day, Liu Zhiyuan came to challenge. He is the fifth best man in the Tang Dynasty, holding the Anhan Golden Knife in his hand, and his Spring and Autumn Sword Skills are extremely good. Back then, he had defeated Zhu Wen for 17 consecutive battles, and even fought against Wang Yanzhang for more than 20 rounds.
When Wang Yanzhang heard this, he was furious, and the big iron gun in his hand sped up, forcing Liu Zhiyuan to parry. At this time, Wang Yanzhang suddenly pulled out the steel whip behind his back and slapped it on Liu Zhiyuan's back.
Fortunately, Guo Wei and others tried their best to stop Wang Yanzhang and save him. Liu Zhiyuan's defeat made the Tang army unbeatable to Wang Yanzhang. Li Keyong, the king of Jin, was depressed, and at this time, Li Siyuan, the great Taibao, stepped forward to suggest that it was better to ask the flying tiger generals under Li Cunxiao to come to help.
These Flying Tigers will be Li Cunxiao's sworn brothers, and they are also the deputy generals of the Flying Tiger Army, with a total of six people, namely Xue Atan, An Xiuxiu, Xue Tieshan, He Heihu, Li Hanzhi, and Fu Cunxian.
However, since Li Cunxiao's death, the six Flying Tiger generals have all gone to Feihu Mountain to guard Li Cunxiao's tomb. After Li Siyuan arrived, the six Flying Tiger generals couldn't help but be furious when they heard Wang Yanzhang's majesty.
The six of them discussed, leaving Xue Tieshan and He Heihu to continue to guard the tomb for Li Cunxiao, while Xue Atan, An Xiuxiu, Li Hanzhi, and Fu Cunxian followed Li Siyuan to fight Wang Yanzhang.
Although the four of them are also fierce generals, their strength is far inferior to Liu Zhiyuan, so they were picked to death one after another.
After the death of the Flying Tiger General, Li Siyuan recommended Gao Siji again. If there is anyone in this world who can defeat Wang Yanzhang, it must be Gao Siji who is holding a white horse and a silver spear. Li Siyuan went out again and invited the reclusive Gao Siji with the radical method.
The two launched a life-and-death duel at the foot of Jibao Mountain, Gao Si followed the battle with the Xia family's Beiba Liuhe marksmanship, and Wang Yanzhang used the fir penny marksmanship, and the two heroes fought fiercely for three days.
On the fourth day, however, Gao Siji decided to use his return rifle. He confidently pursued forward, but he didn't expect Wang Yanzhang to be prepared, and he also used his return rifle, and a shot pierced Gao Siji's throat, causing him to fall off his horse and die miserably.
The battle is over, but the story of the two heroes lives on in the annals of history.
In the first battle of Jibaoshan, Wang Yanzhang was brave and fearless, challenged thirty-six enemy generals in a row, killed the flying tiger generals, and assassinated Gao Siji with a horse gun, becoming an invincible general who was unrivaled at that time.
However, even with such bravery, he still encountered difficulties in the later battle, and finally died heroically in Shi Jianjiao's Five Dragons and Two Tigers.
