Who is the gun king who is loyal to Li and refuses to surrender?

As the saying goes, when times make heroes, heroes are timely. Whenever the country is in turmoil, there are always countless heroes who come forward and do their best for the country. In ancient times, especially in troubled times, those wars and endless killings made people wake up, and then a large number of patriots and brave military commanders emerged. In these troubled times, we are most familiar with the valiant military commander, perhaps Bai Qi in the battle of Changping, or recognized as the first warrior of the Three Kingdoms, Lu Bu, or Zhang Fei, who is quite famous. But in addition, there was a brave man in the Five Dynasties, who was called "the king of guns" by the world, just like Zhang Liao, a valiant soldier in the Three Kingdoms period. It deserves our attention. He is the king.

The Five Dynasties was a very chaotic and dark historical period. During this period, the political power was chaotic, and Hou Liang, the later Tang Dynasty, the later Jin Dynasty, the later Han Dynasty and the later Friday Dynasty appeared in the Central Plains. Wang was born in this land, but his family is not rich. When he was a teenager, he began to join the army of Zhu Wen at that time, which also became the beginning of his service to the country.

Wang is famous for his courage. As a teenager, he was not timid among hundreds of people who had just entered the military camp. He recommended himself to the officer and wanted to be the captain of these people who joined the army together. Everyone laughed at him when he made bold remarks. Without some real kung fu, it's hard to convince people. Then he took off his shoes and walked barefoot to the ground with tribulus terrestris (a plant with sharp thorns). He walked three or five times without changing his face. Everyone was surprised and believed that he had a natural power. Ouyang Xiu also recorded in the History of the New Five Dynasties: Yan Zhang is brave and powerful, and his feet can walk a hundred steps. Upon hearing this, Zhu Wen regarded him as a man of God and attached great importance to him.

Wang loves to dance with guns. Every time he goes into battle to kill the enemy, he wins with guns. The ancient iron guns are generally made of pure iron, and the heaviest can reach 300 Jin. This pike series is extremely heavy. However, Wang is an expert in fighting with long guns, which shows that he is indeed a superman with arm strength and natural divine power.

Second, be brave and good at fighting, showing the true colors of heroes.

Wang is a brave man. He must be a striker in every battle. He rushed to the front with an iron gun in his hand. He is a brave man who rises to kill the enemy. The army called him "Wang Tie Gun". There is such a record in Zi and Jian: "Wang Yong is very brave. Every time he uses two iron guns, they all weigh 100 kg. One in the saddle, one in the hand, walk the line. People call it the Wang Tie gun. "

Wang has made great achievements. When he was young, he worked for Emperor Mao of Liang, and later consolidated the Liang Dynasty for the last emperor. There are not many elite generals under Guo Liang and Zhu Wen, but Wang can win three with one. He is famous for his bravery, and even Li is afraid of him.

The stills king killed the enemy on the battlefield.

In 923 AD, the army of the later Tang Dynasty wanted to capture Yunzhou, which made the Liang Dynasty particularly panic. Wang, who was entrusted with an important task, was in high spirits and told the emperor that he could defeat Li's army in three days. Wang never takes Li seriously. In his own words, "Li Yazi is a cockfighting child. What are you afraid of? " When Li learned that he was plotting to attack the king, he immediately led the troops to meet the enemy. But when he arrived, Desheng had been captured by Wang. The war against Wang has always been quick and decisive, and the use of troops is also amazing. Li Lingbing captured Pan Zhangzhai and Wang Lingbing saved it. However, because the army could not cross the Yellow River, Wang Zhangyan crossed the river with a gun to save it. Here we can see that Wang is brave. When Li Wen learned that the king was coming, he led his army to flee.

Third, loyalty, rather than surrender.

At the end of the Tang Dynasty, the army attacked Yanzhou, and Wang was sent. However, due to insufficient troops, Tang Jun ambushed him and had to retreat. Later, he was captured by Tang Jun in Zhongdu. Li has always admired Wang and wanted to surrender him to his own use. The king looked down on him from beginning to end and flatly refused to surrender. After repeated persuasion was rejected, he sent Li Siyuan. Wang called his nickname contemptuously, which made Li Siyuan very angry. In the face of the loyal king, Li's repeated persuasion was of no help. Finally, Li ordered him to be put to death, and Wang, who would rather die than surrender, ended his life at the age of 6 1.
