Yang Qilang (original) (raw)

Yang Qilang (Chinese: 楊七郎; pinyin: Yá Qīláng; literally "Yang's 7th son") is a fictional character in the Generals of the Yang Family legends, the 7th eldest and youngest son of Song Dynasty general Yang Ye. In these largely fictionalized stories, he was shot to death with countless arrows by the vengeful Song commander Pan Renmei while seeking reinforcement for his trapped father in battles against the Liao Dynasty army. "Qilang" which means "7th son" is a nickname rather than an official given name. His official name is usually given as Yang Yansi (楊延嗣).
