Historically, if there is a cattle man with the strongest combat effectiveness of a single soldier, it must be Xiang Yu, Li Cunxiao and Yang Kan. So, which of the three gods of war is stronger? Let's close the battle against Qin Qiong.
First of all, li Cunxiao is excluded, the author does not deny that Li Cunxiao (An Jingsi) is powerful, there are many allusions, 18 rides through Chang'an, five horses can not be divided and so on. However, Li Cunxiao's folk and derivative elements are larger, and the most recorded Li Cunxiao is the "Interpretation of the Five Dynasties of the Cruel Tang Dynasty" and the "History of the Old Five Dynasties". The Biography of Li Cunxiao", the zhengshi does not have much detailed record of Li Cunxiao.
There are many records of the History of Xiang Yu of Chu Han and the Southern Liang Yang Kan of the Southern and Northern Dynasties, especially Xiang Yu, who is recognized as the first person in ancient times.
Among other things, Xiang Yu's 4 world records cannot be broken: the youngest king in history, it took only three years to rise up and become a king, and the real knife and real gun were beaten; there was no one in the world; the only one in the history of four hundred people beheaded by the only thousand people; the record of 71 battles was completely won, and there were two people in the record of the millennium Huaxia, one was Bai Qi, the second was Duan Qi, Bai Qi used 30 years, Duan Qi used 20 years, and Xiang Yu used 6 years. In addition, Xiang Yu was also the only king who defeated the gods.
The Southern Liang general Yang Kan (羊侃), known as the best general of the Southern Liang Dynasty, was known as the best defender general, his father Was yang Zhi (羊祉) was an official of Northern Wei, and his grandfather Was a subordinate of Emperor Wu of Song. Yang Kan is 7 feet 8 inches tall (Xiang Yu 8 feet), has excellent arm strength, can open a six-stone strong bow (Yue Fei opens three stones), and at the age of 20, he made military merits with his father Yang Zhi in Liangzhou (Hanzhong, Shaanxi), and was awarded the title of Shang Shulang. Then he accompanied Xiao Baocheng in his conquest, and an arrow shot the Qiang people Mo Fold Tiansheng and awarded the general Zhengdong.

Because his father missed his hometown of the Southern Dynasty, in 528 AD, Yang Kan rebelled against Wei and returned to Southern Liang Jian'an in 529. In 532, he served as the general Sima Da and the general Yunli to rebel against the Minyue rebellion, and beheaded the Qu commanders Chen Andu and Wu Man. In 548 (the second year of the Taiqing Dynasty), Hou Jing died of illness during the rebellion.
Xiang Yu's "hate the sky without a handle, hate the earth without a ring" can lift the peak. How heavy does Ding weigh? Huan Chu's four big men worked together without moving, at least 800 pounds, and Xiang Yu raised it with one hand. The overlord carried the Ding, many of the canonical histories have been recorded, it should be true, several in the history of the Ding, the Han HuaiNan King, the Guangling King and the Northern Qi GaoZhuo also lifted, but the hands.
Xiang Yu's weapon Tianlong Broke the City Halberd, 330 pounds, 252.8 grams at the end of Qin, about 150 pounds. In the battle of Julu and Pengcheng, from morning to night, both explosive and enduring strength have broken through the limits of human beings.
Hui ji revolted, beheading more than 100 Yin Tong guards alone, and one of the ten thousand troops hacked and killed the qin general Li You, smashed the fierce general Su Jiao, and captured Wang Qi's grandson Wang Li in one round, defeating the Qin army's final god of war, Zhang Handan. On the side of the Wu River, he abandoned his horse and fought, killing hundreds of Han Jing on horseback. Riding 10 steps lower, Xiang Yu's thousand people slashed in this way.
The "History of the South", "The Classics of the Three Kingdoms", "The Book of Liang", "Zizhi Tongjian", and "The Biography of Yang Kan" record that Yang Kan lifted several eight-foot-long, thick stone people on the SiQiao Bridge, and smashed them into each other.
This is not credible, how many pounds of stone people are eight feet tall in ten square meters?
Walking on the wall of Yanzhou Yao Temple, seven steps across the left and right, straight up to the three zhang, Yang Kan light gong real; to the Northern Wei Xiaozhuang Emperor to perform eagle claw gong, the index finger can be inserted into the hall hard one finger deep, this can be done, at that time there was no concrete.
Emperor Wu of Liangwu entertained the courtiers, and Shaofu built a new two-edged mallet, two feet long and four feet long, one foot three feet thick, and The sheep rode a horse to try the hammer, and the onlookers climbed to the tree and crushed the tree.
This allusion is exaggerated, and the hammer hand that is 1 foot 3 thick can hold it? It's not the Master Brother Golden Hoop Stick.
It is generally believed that the two hammers of the Yang kan weapon weigh 360 kilograms and have a diameter of 10.1 centimeters. That is 720 pounds, if someone can really dance 720 pounds of hammers continuously in battle, there is no problem in sweeping through a thousand armies, but there is no historical record that Yang Kan swept through a thousand armies with a 720 pound hammer.
The Battle of Xiangyu Julu and the Battle of Pengcheng are the ten classic battles of ancient times. In the Battle of the Giant Deer, the princes of the world saw that Xiang Yu "could not beg forward, do not dare to look up", the long-formed killing qi and magnetic field were breathtaking, and the outlaw princes of the world did not dare to look up.
In the Battle of Pengcheng, 30,000 people defeated Liu Bang's 560,000 troops, beheading more than 100,000 people and drowning more than 100,000. In the Battle of Xingyang, 100 men charged to defeat thousands of Han troops, and Liu Bang ran to Gongyi, comparable to the demigods.
Yang Kan Liang Prefecture participated in the battle and made meritorious contributions, and later shot and killed the Great King of Mo Fold. In 528, when rebelling against Wei, besieging Yanzhou defended by his cousin Yang Dun, 30,000 elite soldiers were unable to conquer for a long time, Northern Wei Gao Huan led reinforcements, Yang Kan fell into a heavy siege and was forced to break through, after the breakthrough of 10,000 remnants, 2,000 warhorses, due to low morale, demobilized people and horses, dozens of people returned to Southern Liang.
What about 30,000 elite soldiers handed over to Xiang Yu? Xiang Yu could completely annihilate Yang Dun and Gao Huan. In these three battles, Yang Kan's personal strength value was not reflected.
In 532, Yang Kan accompanied the Tai wei Yuan Fa monk on the Northern Expedition, and in July he traveled to Guanzhu, where he was defeated by the vanguard Yuan Shu and withdrew to serve as a servant, and the 720-pound double hammer was useless.
In 534, he killed the Minyue rebels Chen Zhi and Wu Man.
In 547, Emperor Wu again sent troops to the Northern Expedition and appointed Yang Kan as a general who held the festival and was the champion. Yang Kan advised Marshal Xiao Yuanming to flood Pengcheng without being adopted, and garrisoned Hanshanyan. In November, the Liang army was defeated, and Yang Kan withdrew.
In 548, the rebel general Hou Jing of the Qi clan raised an army and besieged Jiankang (Nanjing), Yang Kan showed extraordinary defensive talent, Hou Jing's water attack, fire attack, and siege vehicle methods were exhausted, and it was difficult to advance, and Yang Kan fell ill and died in the battle, and the city was destroyed.
After the introduction of Yang Kan's main achievements, what do you see? Whether it is the combat effectiveness of individual soldiers or the ability to command the army to fight. There is no eye-catching performance of Yang Kan. On the battlefield, there was not even a record of 20 soldiers, how to compare with Xiang Yu?
So Yang Kan was born with divine power, proficient in light kung fu eagle claws and other external kung fu, why didn't he kill gods on the battlefield? There is only one reason, Yang Kan Kung Fu is suitable for performance, similar to the current martial arts, not suitable for killing enemies on the battlefield, and the history books are also recorded according to the performance. Has Xiang Yu ever performed kung fu? One fight after another, the charge will collapse, and the blocker will die.
Famous generals of the Southern and Northern Dynasties such as Yun, Yuwen Tai, Liu Yu, Shi Wanzai, Chen Baxian, Gao Ao Cao, Huo Luguang, Xiao Mokun, Cao Jingzong, Wei Rui, Tan Daoji, Liu Jiaozhi, Xue Andu, etc., Yang Kan did not behead a famous general. Chu Han was also a fierce general like a cloud, no matter Fan Duo, Zhou Bo, Guan Ying, Long He, Ying Bu, Yu Zi Period, Zhong Li ming, etc. could not walk a round in front of Xiang Yu, the height was obvious.
In terms of influence, Xiang Yu was not only the god of war, but also the soul of the Chu Army. Yang Kan served as a deputy until Hou Jing besieged the city. Was It that Emperor Xiao Yan of Liangwu did not trust Yang Kan? No, Liang Dynasty also has a more powerful general- Chen Qingzhi. Although Chen Qingzhi was a scholar, the use of soldiers was not comparable to that of Yang Kan.
Therefore, what about Yang Kan, who has been boasted by many self-media authors that he can challenge Xiang Yu? Now everyone understands that the first person in the ages is definitely not empty.
