Did ancient Chinese Generals really fight in the front?
From Romance of the Three Kingdoms, it seemed as if each of the Chinese Generals (especially Guan Yu), would fight in the very front of the army and kill hundreds of soldiers by themselves.
Now this is obviously an exaggeration. But is it true that Ancient Chinese Generals were much better than the average warrior? And was it true that they fought in the front with their men?
Or is it more accurate that Generals like Guan Yu were average fighters at best, and mostly administered, trained and commanded the troops from behind?
The 3 warriors, Liu Bei, Guang Yu and Zhang Fei, were great warriors, and when they met, they admired each other's abilities and therefore "sworn brotherhood in peach blossoms garden". It was believed that all 3 of them were very good in martial arts - all brawns. And during their early expeditions in wars, they faced lots of defeats.
Later, Liu Bei learnt of a renowned master military strategist, Zhuge Liang - and visited the cottage of Zhuge Liang 3 times, in order to convince Zhuge Liang to realise his ambitions of driving Cao Cao from the imperial court. China was divided into 3 powers under Cao Cao, Liu Bei and Sun Quan during the period known as "Romance of the 3 kingdoms" and this was also towards the end of the Han Dynasty.
