What was the heaviest weapon in ancient times?

Modern society uses hot weapons, and cold weapons can only be used in rare cases. Before the appearance of hot weapons, cold weapons were the protagonists of the battlefield. Everyone uses different weapons according to their own situation. Today we will talk about the two heaviest weapons in history.

In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Guan Yu's achievements are unparalleled among many military commanders in the Three Kingdoms. In Hulao Pass, Hua Xiong was chopped with warm wine, and in the battle of official road, Yan Liang was chopped with Cao Cao, and Wen Chou was crossed. Finally, the five levels went straight to Liu Bei.

Hua Xiong, Wen Chou and Yan Liang all started with one knife and fell with one knife. On the battlefield, it is almost invincible. Of course, Guan Yu is quite powerful not only in romance but also in official history.

"The History of the Three Kingdoms" records: "When you see the cover, ride your horse, stab it in the crowd, behead it and return it. General Rao can't do it, so he will solve the white horse." And "no feathers, feathers will cut the general pounds." A series of behaviors.

The Romance of the Three Kingdoms records that Guan Yu's weapon, the Qinglong Crescent Moon Blade, weighed 82 Jin, leaving behind deeds such as choosing a brocade robe with a knife and going to the meeting with a single knife. According to relevant historical records, Guan Yu's dragon crescent moon blade is generally suitable for non-commissioned officers in the field of martial arts to practice, and even later became a prop to assess the arm strength of martial arts people.

There is another person, and that is Wang. Wang was born in 863 AD, and was born in Yunzhou. When he was young, he joined the Zhu Quanzhong army. Because of his outstanding achievements, Wang was highly valued by the established regime.

There are many records in historical materials about the present equivalent of 660 grams, 100 kg is 66 kg! That legend. For example, he once defeated 36 generals in a battle with Jin Jun, which is not terrible. Moreover, it is recorded in Zi Zhi Tong Jian that he will use two big iron guns in every battle, saying that they are iron guns, but I really don't know what material they are made of. Both are 100 kg, and two iron guns are 200 kg.

We know that even the dragon crescent moon blade used by Guan Yu's two sons is only 82 kg, and he weighs 100 kg with one shot. And one in each hand. Besides, it's one thing to raise a weapon. Being able to command like an arm is another matter. Moreover, in the Five Dynasties, one kilogram was actually equivalent to 660 grams now, and one hundred kilograms was 66 kilograms.

According to historical records, Wang's fighting is like "nothing happens". What does this mean? In other words, Wang Yi hit the enemy with a gun, just like a gust of wind blowing across the grass, and easily defeated the enemy. I have to say that Wang's fighting power really ranks first in history, and even later generations built an iron gun temple to worship him.
