Feidao 飛刀

In Chapter 90 of the Romance, when Sanjiang City has been lost and the Shu army has come right up to the cave, Meng Huo is flustered, but his wife Lady Zhurong comes out from behind a screen and says that, woman though she is, she will go out and fight. The Romance introduces her as a descendant of the Zhurong clan who had lived for generations among the Nanman, skilled with flying knives and hitting her mark a hundred times out of a hundred throws. Leading several hundred brave generals of her clan and 50,000 cave troops, she sets out and runs into Zhang Ni's troops. Romance, Ch. 90 §11–12

She rides out on a curly-haired red-hare horse, with five flying knives stuck in her back and a long javelin of one zhang eight chi (eighteen chi) held level in her hand. After only a few bouts she turns her horse and flees, and as Zhang Ni gives chase she sends a flying knife down on him from the air. Zhang Ni hastily tries to ward it off with his hand, but it strikes his left arm; he falls from his horse and is captured by the Man soldiers. Ma Zhong, who comes out to rescue him, is also captured when his horse stumbles and falls. Romance, Ch. 90 §13–14

Afterwards the lady faces Zhao Yun and Wei Yan with her javelin, and the Romance does not depict her throwing flying knives again. Chasing Wei Yan into a narrow path in a remote mountain, she is caught by the horse-tripping rope of Ma Dai, who lies in ambush, and is captured, and Zhuge Liang sends her back in exchange for the return of Zhang Ni and Ma Zhong. Romance, Ch. 90 §16–19
