It is often seen that the heroes in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, or in the Water Margin, killed by a chaotic army with one knife, and the audience who watched it was boiling with blood, and there were about 18 kinds of weapons used in ancient warfare, which matched the eighteen martial arts. Generally bows, crossbows, guns, sticks, knives, swords, spears, shields, axes, halberds, halberds, halberds, hammers, hammers, forks, palladium, go, the most commonly used are also the ones we often see in film and television dramas, knives, axes, spears, sticks, guns. On the battlefield, the soldiers' weapons looked as if they were paper paste, cut by the enemy, or broken by a long gun wheel by the generals, and this was really the case? Are the weapons used by the soldiers really so bad? Why in the ancient battlefield, ordinary soldiers could not even carry a knife from the general, is it because of the "shrimp soldier crab general"?
In the TV series, the heroes' weapons are hundreds of pounds up and down, the ancient generals are really the weapons that the arms are amazing to hold so heavy, the answer should not be yes, compared with modern soldiers, the strength and method of the previous soldiers' practice do not have any science, strength and comprehensive quality should be inferior to the muscle men of the current national soldiers (of course, in addition to those famous in history), the generals are brave, when they go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, they are in a position of one enemy and a hundred, Let's look at the equipment of these generals to know the reasons.
In the era of cold weapons, the weapons that can be called names belong to the bows and crossbows of the Qin and Han Dynasties, and the strange knives of the Tang Dynasty, such as the plain knives and red guns popular in the later dynasties, cannot be compared with them, even if they encounter good materials to forge them, they cannot become treasure weapons.
We can see from the history of the Three Kingdoms that some gods can kill thousands or even tens of thousands of pawns, and the generals or "five tiger god generals" none of them died on the battlefield, killed by the enemy soldiers, maybe some people will say, this is not nonsense, people are powerful figures, naturally will not be killed by pawns, but in the battlefield melee, in the state of killing red eyes, it is impossible to distinguish who is who, the generals and soldiers can be killed as long as they are enemy troops, is the soldiers too poor in martial arts? Generals are usually one hundred enemies, many generals are also promoted to generals through small pawns, the only difference is the disparity between everyone's weapons, the five tiger gods will naturally use some divine weapons, as well as very important protective measures, armor. In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Dong Zhuo had close armor, and general weapons could not pierce his armor, so when Cao Cao began to assassinate, he asked Situ Wang Yun to borrow a sword, hoping to pierce his armor, which shows that protective measures are quite important.
On the battlefield, the soldiers are wearing armor, the armor can be imagined, both bulky and inflexible, many of the generals recorded in ancient books are more than two feet tall, tall and large, when they see the armor artifacts excavated by archaeologists, they immediately understand that the armor itself is relatively long and bulky, and it is more majestic to wear it.
Before the Qing Dynasty, the bullets loaded with "guns and cannons" were mainly black powder, that is, the kind of black gunpowder in the fireworks, so Li Rusong, who was shot down by the Wukou cannon, was not really hit, but was smoked by gunpowder, but climbed up and could continue to fight, at this time it can better reflect the things worn by the general, the role of the Mingguang armor, I have to say that the armor of the Ming Dynasty is really hard, not to mention the cold weapon sword held by ordinary soldiers, it is estimated that it is placed in modern times. Ordinary pistols are not so easy to penetrate
But how can such armor be possessed by ordinary soldiers, even in the very rich Tang Dynasty, it is impossible to give every soldier a good weapon and this kind of divine armor, in any dynasty, good equipment is only possessed by the generals, as the saying goes, "good horses with good saddles" only the gods and generals can make the sword armor fully utilized, so that they are invincible on the battlefield, so that the famous generals can easily destroy thousands of people or even tens of thousands of soldiers on the other side.
We have to be solemnly respected, for the wisdom of china's ancient monarchs and dynasties, although the cultural relics left by our ancestors are relatively small, there are still many works that can make us marvel.
