Long pole weapon
From ancient times to the late Qing Dynasty, long weapons were quite active. On the battlefield, nothing can make the enemy helpless like Lin's spear. In ancient China, besides guns and spears, there were halberds, forks, spears, palladium and sticks.
Guns and spears:
Modern people think that guns and spears are integrated, but there are still some differences in ancient times. Among them, the spear has a blade, the spear tip is long, it can be stabbed and cut, and there is no tassel. The spear rod is often a hard rod. Guns are developed on the basis of spears, generally only used for stabbing, with red tassels on the back to prevent blood from flowing back.
On the basis of pike, twigs with different shapes are added to form various special weapons.
Fork:
Forks are mostly used by ancient Orion, and the ends are divided into two or three strands.
Ji:
Halberd is a popular weapon before the Northern and Southern Dynasties, including single halberd with long handle and double halberd with short handle. There are two kinds of halberds: one with two crescent moons at the end is called "Fang Tianji"; Only one side has a crescent moon, which is called "Qinglong Ji".
Hua:
The arrow is shaped like a fork, and there is a sharp point in the middle of the end, called the front, which is about 0.5 meters long. Behind the front, a crescent moon crosses outward, and a row of sharp blades are embedded in the crescent moon. The stirrup can reach 2.5 meters in length, which is heavy and big. Only tall and strong people can use it.
In the Ming Dynasty, Qi Jiguang pacified the enemy, and boredom revived. Together with Langshan, it played a key role in blocking thorns.
Palladium:
Palladium is also a weapon evolved from agricultural tools, and the teeth at the end are as sharp as nails. Palladium is about 2.4 meters long and weighs 2.5 kilograms. Can be used to fight, can also be used for defense. It was once a sharp weapon in the army in War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression period of Ming Dynasty (together with boring people).
Clubs, axes and other special weapons:
The long soldiers recorded in the ancient books of the Qing Dynasty also included sticks, long axes, darts (similar to javelin) and pear blossom guns, which were combined with firearms. Pear flower gun and sickle gun are both burning firearms with certain blades. Except arson, the actual combat effect is not satisfactory.
knife
As the saying goes, a broadsword looks at the blade, a single knife looks at the feel, and a double knife looks at the feel. Knife is one of the most common weapons on the battlefield. There are many kinds, including long and short, thick and urgent, and exquisite works of art..
Single sword has been eliminated since Qin and Han dynasties, and the soldiers with swords and shields are often well-trained elites in the ancient army. As a symbol of the bravery of military commanders, Mo Dao and other long-handled broadswords have a deterrent effect on the enemy and its deserters in the era of cold weapons.
shield
Shield, which was called "dry" by the ancients, was a weapon used to fight with Ge in ancient times, so there were words such as "fighting to meet each other", which was later called "card". Generally speaking, according to different uses in ancient times, shields are often made of wood, rattan, cowhide or a mixture of various materials.
As the easiest battlefield defense for ordinary infantry except armor, shields have appeared almost since the beginning of human war. Ancient shields were named according to different materials, shapes and uses. After gathering people in formation, the shield can quickly build a solid moving wall on the battlefield.
During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, with the development of firearms, war quilts and rolled quilts appeared on the battlefield. This kind of defense equipment is essentially a quilt. Like cotton armor, it can defend against bullets with insufficient penetration in the early stage.
The hand of the roller quilt stretched out to be resisted when defending the enemy's musket arrows. When the enemy stops firing arrows or shooting, roll up the roller quilt, put two knives into the array, and cut off the horse's legs. The double knives of the roller quilt can be put together just like cutting a knife from the middle. Open in battle, and you can get double weapons when the drum is hand-held.
Dual-armed and armor-piercing weapons
In the dynasties with high armor penetration rate, blunt weapons such as hammer, hammer and whip were popular. In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, with the popularity of firearms, the armor-piercing rate decreased, and the cotton armor worn by senior officers had better defense against blunt objects, so armor-piercing weapons gradually became ceremonial.
Axe and graupel: The word "utensil" in Xingtian dance means "axe and graupel", which are basically similar, but the blade of axe is generally narrow, while the blade of graupel is relatively wide and crescent-shaped.
Mace and whip: similar, but mace must be used twice, and whip is single and double. From the appearance, the whip has knots and the mace has no knots, which is the difference in appearance.
Flail stick: an agricultural tool originated from grain threshing, similar to an extended nunchaku. You can get higher speed than mace and whip when you hit the head, and you can bypass the shield if you are skilled. It returned to the status of agricultural tools in Qing Dynasty.
