China traditional bow and arrow

In ancient China, China had a dazzling variety of cold weapons. Although there are China's 18 weapons, in fact, China's weapons are far more than 18. No matter from the conventional weapons, special weapons, hidden weapons and greenwood weapons, whether it is the Roman legion or the tenth legion, or the Gothic knights, Teutonic knights and Covenant people, this is better than Europe at that time. Furthermore, China's smelting technology and crossbow manufacturing technology were far more advanced than those in medieval Europe. Here, I want to tell all the heroes and heroes here with my usual knowledge of cold weapons. The so-called 18 weapon should be limited to the 18 conventional weapon stipulated in the ancient military system of China. ?

1. Knife: A weapon with a sharp blade, mainly used for chopping, used by armies and chivalrous men in past dynasties. In the Han Dynasty, a large number of ring-headed knives were popular (driving away Xiongnu, which constituted the "magic whip" sweeping across Europe), including broadsword, The Lancet, ring-headed knife, giant, and some broadswords that military commanders liked to ride on horses. ?

2. Sword: There is no difference between a sword and a knife in Europe. They are all the same word. China's sword has a long history, which can be traced back to before Shang Dynasty. The Eastern Zhou Dynasty was equipped with a large number of armed forces, especially the Qin Dynasty, which was 1. More than 5 meters, in order to develop greater lethality on chariots (at that time, only Chair Zhao cavalry was dominant, and most countries still used chariots as the main fighting arms). Later, due to the prevalence of knives, swords were gradually replaced in the army and became the only weapons or decorations for generals. There was an exception in the Ming Dynasty. Qi made an epee and hit Japanese pigs with a sharp knife, but this epee still didn't have the knights of the 10th Army of Teutonic Germany 1. Eight-meter epee is awesome. ?

3. Spear: Some books also say that spear = gun, which I don't know yet, but from some novels and documents, I'm afraid it's wrong to completely integrate spear and gun. The longest spear is 4 meters, which is mainly used for car buckets. Spears on horseback are usually called pipes, and short spears and javelin (throwing spears) are called firs. There are also some special ones, such as snake spears and barbed spears. ?

4. Gun: You can compare spears and guns in this way. You only look at the blade except the handle. The blade is a spear and the blade is a gun. The spear head is undoubtedly lighter than the spear head, but its lethality is the same. Are built on the basis of thorns and punches. Moreover, due to the retirement of chariots, spears are less used, and they are not as convenient to kill as horses and spears, and their mobility is much higher. There are many kinds of guns, such as Qing Shen gun, crow's horn gun, tiger's head gun and Tilu gun, as well as carbine gun and crochet gun that resisted the invasion of northern nomadic people in Song Dynasty. ?

Ge: China's characteristic weapon, like the sickle of ancient Egypt, is a unique national weapon in the world. But to be honest, Ge is not a very powerful weapon. There are many kinds of pueraria lobata, which has been popular from Xia Dynasty to Han Dynasty and basically disappeared in Sui and Tang Dynasties. Ge is an old weapon of China. Because it is a horizontal blade, it mainly hooks, pecks, swings and pushes. ?

6. halberd: halberd is a combination of spear and ge or gun and knife. It is very lethal. You can stab like a spear, or you can hook, wave and split like a knife. In Europe, the equipment of halberd is different from that of China. Europe was equipped with infantry in the Middle Ages, and China was equipped with a large number of troops in ancient times. By the middle ages, it had already changed from infantry to cavalry, and infantry was replaced by light pike. There are three kinds of halberds in China. One is the oldest Geji, which has the largest variety and the widest equipment, and is also the first to be eliminated. The second is the door halberd that appeared in the Northern and Southern Dynasties; And the fields that military commanders love to paint. ?

7. Axe cymbals: The big ones are cymbals, and the small ones are axes. It doesn't take long in actual combat. It is estimated that many friends don't know that it was a very deterrent heavy weapon on the chariots in Xia, Shang and Zhou Dynasties, and it was also the weapon of the emperor. Later, it was eliminated because it was too big, and it can only be used as a ceremonial weapon. The development of axe is much luckier than that of big-headed graupel. People in China used axes in all previous dynasties, whether it was the axe used by Cheng, the founding father of the Tang Dynasty, or the axe used by jy, a hero of Liangshan in the forest, which can be used immediately or with both hands. Axe is a heavy weapon with strong lethality, mainly chopping. ?

8. Bow crossbow: Needless to say, China's ancient long-range killing weapon has always been much more powerful than foreign countries. ?

9. Whip: Make no mistake. This whip is not as flexible as a rope. The whip we are talking about is a weapon that makes a living by chopping, sweeping and stabbing like an iron bar. Whips are like bamboo joints made of steel, so they are also called bamboo joint Strafe. Wu Zixu in history, marshal Weichi Gong in Tang Dynasty and Huyan family in Song Dynasty all used whips. Whip is a more powerful weapon against armor than chain mail, which can break goggles in one fell swoop and is extremely powerful. It belongs to heavy weapons. ?

10, mace: Like a whip, it is an armor-piercing weapon. The difference is that mace has 3~4 blades, so it is called three-edged mace or four-edged mace. Generally speaking, mace is lighter than whip, but its lethality is greater than whip, and its armor-piercing force is less than whip. Military commanders in past dynasties used guns or halberds as weapons, and two maces on their backs were used as ground-laying weapons to kill the enemy unexpectedly, so they were called "killer weapons". ?

1 1. fork: I don't need to say it. This is a trident. There are many kinds of forks in China, such as horse fork, nine-legged fork and sky fork. Like a gun, it is dominated by thorns, but the difference is that the fork has a large killing range and can play a role in limiting enemy weapons. ?

12, Lao: to put it bluntly, it is a light weapon that mainly fights. In addition, there are weapons such as three-section whip, nunchakus and nine-section whip. It is a favorite weapon of assassins and fugitives, convenient and flexible. However, as a martial arts masterpiece, Jianwang has no such weapon, which is a pity. ?

13, cudgel: cudgel, the most basic weapon, is also the most affordable self-defense weapon in ancient times. From the perspective of sticks, there are Wu Bu sticks, Qi Mei sticks and Panlong sticks. Judging from the sticks, there are whistle sticks, iron hoop sticks and mace sticks. ?

14, boring: ancient and modern heavy weapons are used less, probably because they are bulky. Have you read The Romance of Sui and Tang Dynasties? Yuwen Chengdou, the second valiant soldier in the world, and Wu Tianxi, the sixth valiant soldier in the world, used gold-plated boring and mixed boring respectively, both weighing more than 200 Jin. Although the novel is a bit exaggerated, you can smash the whole skull when you are bored and wear a helmet. Boredom is the strengthening of fork, which is heavier and more lethal than fork. Generally, there are as many as five boring thorns, and there are anti-blades on the edge, which are very fierce ~ ~! ?

15, service: I have never seen this kind of weapon. It is said in the book that it is a weapon with bamboo handle and metal blade. Could be a hidden weapon. ?

16, Hammer: It is estimated to be the most lethal individual weapon in ancient times. Not only can we see the deterrent power of the hammer from the appearance, but the most important thing is that the hammer can deal with soldiers wearing heavy armor. Whether in China or Europe, knights have records of hammers. Li Yuanba, the fourth son of Li Yuan, the first warrior of Sui and Tang Dynasties in China, became famous all over the world with a pair of golden jars weighing 400 Jin. Tang Xue's general Xue Kui defeated the Turks with an octagonal golden hammer. Yue Yun, the eldest son of Yue Fei, a famous Southern Song Dynasty star, also used a silver hammer to sweep 8 Jin Army. In Europe, many troops are equipped with sledgehammers to deal with knights in full armor. Thus came the words "Royal Hammer" and "Hammer Charles". In fact, the hammer is not a perfect weapon. Because it was too heavy, few people could afford it, so in ancient China, there was not much establishment in the army. ?

17, strange: how to say it? Some people want to see more saints, the strongest golden saint Libra Tong Hu (also from China, hehe). His holy garments are composed of six kinds of weapons, which are guns, swords, three-section whips, nunchakus, shields and crutches in turn. This kind of weapon can defend against attacks and is quite a good self-defense weapon. Generally, regular troops are not equipped, but only those fugitives and Jianghu heroes. ?

18, Meteor: This is not a meteor hammer, but a general term for rope weapons, such as rope guns, meteor hammers and chain hammers. In Europe, there is a weapon called cangue company, which is actually a chain hammer with a handle. It can bypass the enemy's shield or attack the enemy in a defensive posture, which is actually the same as a meteor hammer. This weapon is very aggressive, and it is difficult for opponents to defend, but because their weapons are soft, their defense is not so good. This weapon is not equipped on a large scale in the army, except that some military commanders with character pawned it. But some robbers are useful.
