Indeed, Ah Qing and Xuzhu/Duan Yu seem to be rule-transcenders.
I could possibly imagine Duan Yu and Xuzhu getting through a horde of 2000 soldiers. However, Ah Qing's near-mythical description of disarming 2000 soldiers in one swift go remains more impressive to my mind. The description makes me think that she did so with more grace and less effort than Xuzhu/Duan Yu could.
