The main reason why the Japanese became a major problem for the Ming army was that the koans and Japanese attached great importance to the performance of the Japanese sword itself. Several prescient generals believed that the Japanese used the Japanese sword with a light and agile body and a sharp blade, which gave them an advantage in many aspects and made them invincible. Qi Jiguang, a famous anti-Japanese general, acquired the "Yinliu Sword Art" during a battle with Japanese invaders, and after studying it, he adapted the Miao sword, which was specially designed to restrain Japanese swords, and wrote the "Xinyou Sword Art".

The way the Japanese use the Otaiba is to have both the blade and the arm stretched out relatively straight, and to slice down from the top of the head all the way to the ground and back up again. For this reason, some of the otabisho were not heat-treated at all, lest they chipped when they hit the ground. However, it can be seen that the Japanese used the full length and strength of the otai sword to their advantage. In the imagination of the general public, the otabuto was a weapon that could cut a rider and a horse in half together, and thus some people called it a horse-beheading sword. However, this is not how the daitaito was used in battle, but rather, it was used to attack the horse's feet from outside of the rider's range of attack.

When the news reached the ears of the hero, Zile Gampo, he jumped on his horse and brought his sword to kill the herdsmen and chiefs in order to save his compatriots. He was outnumbered and shed his last drop of blood. In his honor, the herdsmen renamed the Tibetan knife "folding Le Gambo knife", or "folding knife" for short. 10, Chinese machete This knife as one of the most typical traditional cold weapons, unique to China, characterized by the front of the knife body is wide and thick, powerful and heavy, and conducive to chopping.
