With the gradual development of social civilization, more and more high-tech weapons have been studied by scientists, these things are the crystallization of human wisdom, but at the same time human sorrow, because the purpose of studying them is to how to hurt human beings more fiercely, these things will be used on human beings themselves sooner or later.
Most of us have an established impression of the battlefield during World War II. But what weapons were used in those ancient battlefields without gunpowder? First of all, most of the infantry are armed with long guns and short knives at the waist. And most of the generals who lead the soldiers to fight are as long and heavy as possible, and everyone should not be blinded by the interpretation in the film and television drama to explore their hearts to explore historical facts, because in order to highlight the personality of the characters, there are many exaggerated plots.
For example, we often see that after the confrontation between the two armies, the main generals of the two sides will stand up and single-handedly provoke, and the losing side will immediately collapse the army, in fact, this is simply impossible, first of all, the one who stands up to fight is only a military general can never be the soul of the army, his victory or loss will indeed affect the morale of the army, but the army can never change the war situation because of his success or failure.
Except for the infantry is the archer, whether it is a land offensive battle, or a game between the navy, the archer plays a very important role, today we will talk about a Japanese bow.
One of the biggest features of this bow is that it is very long, and the longest one is two meters two or three. We all know that the ancient bow and arrow was equivalent to a weapon such as a hidden weapon, such as when hunting on the mountain or riding a horse. But if you go hunting with such a thing, before you can set the pose, the prey will already run away, but this is indeed a weapon of Japanese combat, not a craft. Why is this bow formed?
First of all, a very important reason is that japan that place can not make the bow we use, most of the bows we use are made of rhino horn, but the Japanese animal husbandry industry is not developed, bamboo they have, and the bow is made of bamboo, bamboo we all know, the flexibility is very limited, if the distance is short, before you can make the strength to fold, so the bow they made must be very long.
So how powerful is such a behemoth in actual combat? It can be said that there are shortcomings in each other. Its advantage is that the force of the shot is very large, and if it is hit, it will definitely be damaged. But at the same time, there is a disadvantage, that is, the range is too close. The farthest will not exceed 100 meters.
The famous anti-Wu general Qi Jiguang once recorded relevant scenes in the book, and we all know that the so-called Wokou refers to the Japanese, but in fact, these so-called Wokou are led by people from our mainland, and these Japanese takeshi are just acting as thugs. According to Qi Jiguang' record, this kind of bow is very powerful, as long as it is hit, it will definitely hurt people, and although our bow has a long range, it is very lethal. If they shoot an enemy, they will jump around in pain and slap their butts and curse the street. This is an insult to us.
By the same token, how do you say it? Since the range is long, you can play to his strengths! Stand where they can't shoot them, and shoot a few more arrows! Although their close combat with the bow is very strong, but too close will not have any effect, for example, the two sides launched a white-knife battle, before you can pull out the arrows, the warriors have rushed to the front, at this time their divine weapons are all turned into burning sticks.
With the passage of time, these weapons used on the battlefield have left us, but many of them have become entertainment items among our people, such as this Japanese bow, if friends travel to Japan, there will always be a few teenagers in the early morning Japanese park silently practicing bow pulling.
