Gu Long is the writer of martial arts novels who likes to describe knives the most, and he is also the most practical experience in martial arts novels. When Gu Long was young, he mixed in the rivers and lakes, and he saw many scenes of slashing people and was cut many times, so he had feelings for the knife and the prodigal son. But Gu Long's era was more difficult to find the knowledge of systematic cold weapons, so he also made some mistakes and had some inexplicable settings.
One of the most obvious mistakes in the sword of Gu Long's novel is the Yan Ling Knife, which Gu Daxia looks at Wen Shengyi and treats it as a knife. In "September Eagle Flying", there is such a description, "A person on the right is younger, and is using a shiny goose feather knife to fix his nails", which gives people the illusion that the goose feather knife is not bigger than the small Li flying knife. In fact, the goose feather knife looks like this:
The specific specification is that the length is about three feet, and the ancient poem has "I have a goose feather knife, cold light shines on ice and snow." Shen Feng is three feet strong, and the description of the falling hand breaks the golden iron, and most of the goose feather knives in modern museums are also about 90 centimeters (Qi Jiguang's goose feather knife is 89 centimeters). The Goose Feather Knife is a typical waist knife, it is not bulky, but it cannot be held in the hand as a nail clipper.
When Gu Long was a teenager, he played with the jianghu weapon fight that cut more people and stabbed fewer people, which is probably for this reason, he invented the full moon curved knife in his works. The full moon curved knife of the ancient dragon world is very curved, even the sheath of the knife is curved, and its film and television shape is as "unremarkable" as the protagonist.
Similar machetes have appeared in the ancient dragon world, and in the Falcon Gamble, there are seven killing knives and the suspected "Little Building Listening to Spring Rain One Night". Gu Long probably also saw the defect that this machete could only cut people, and gave it a patch of "flying in the air, taking the first level of the person is a hundred steps away". The full moon curved knife has a large arc, and its most obvious weapon relative is the Sheshir machete in the Middle Eastern world, the definition of the Sheshir machete is "a crank machete with a horizontal knife grid and a slender body", which is very similar to "Xiaolou listening to the spring rain one night", and more similarly, this machete also has the reputation of "as beautiful as the crescent moon...". The home of the Sheschlas machete is "west of the Middle East, the Arabian Peninsula in West Asia, the southern foothills of the Caucasus Mountains in southern Europe, and Central Asia", and the Sheschlas machete in the Persian region is the most famous, and it is also reasonable for the ancient dragon to set the full moon curved knife as the western region.
The irrationality of the full moon curved knife is that the ancient dragon exaggerated its power, and the cold weapon like the full moon curved knife is actually very bad on the battlefield. First of all, because of the curvature of the full moon, the crescent cutlass discarded the assassination function of the knife, which was very disadvantageous in the tactical choice. Ring head knife, Tang knife, Khitan knife is a typical straight knife, Japanese samurai sword, Goose Plume knife and other machetes also only choose a smaller arc, so the result of this design they can not only slash, but also assassinate, the knife method changes more. Secondly, the cutting function of the full moon curved knife is not outstanding, and its close relative, the Sheshire machete, is mainly killed by the ability to cut the infantry immediately, rather than directly slashing.
The historical record of the Sheshir machete is not outstanding, and it is really not the preferred weapon of the world's strong armies in the Middle East and Central Asia. The arab armies that slaughtered all sides rode spears and Arabian swords, and only the most warlike soldiers had ancestral swords as melee weapons. Mamluk warriors used machetes, but they also had to learn to ride guns, bows and arrows, javelins, slingshots, and nail hammers to cope with different situations on the battlefield. The Ottoman Empire often beat the Persians violently, using the small curvature of the Atkan knife.
Gu Long is a master of martial arts novels, but not a cold weapons expert, these mistakes everyone can see it, like you will like it, do not like it and welcome you to complain.
