Chapter 474: Two Great Tang Generals

"No king surpasses Xiang, no strength surpasses Yuanba." Xiang naturally refers to King Xiang Yu, and Yuanba... refers to Li Yuanba.

The historical prototype of Li Yuanba is the brother of Li Er, Li Xuanba. He died before Li Yuan established the Tang dynasty. He was posthumously honored as Prince Wei.

However, in the 'Romance of the Tang', Li Yuanba is hailed as the strongest man of that time.

In the 'Romance of the Tang', among the top ten masters of the world, he ranked first, and none of the other nine combined could defeat him.

He tore apart the second-ranked Yuwen Chengdu with his hands and Wu Tianxi, the sixth-ranked, and killed the third-ranked, Second Silver Hammer General Pei Yuanqing, with three hammer strikes!

According to the 'Romance', he killed 1.2 million soldiers.

With a pair of hammers weighing 800 catties each in his hands, he was unstoppable, be it man or Buddha in his way.
