"Water Margin" is one of the four famous works of ancient classics, and the book creates the image of one hundred and eight generals of Liangshan that is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. The weapons of the heroes of Liangshan can be described as varied, all kinds of long and short weapons, cold and hot weapons. Regarding the types of ancient weapons, there are eighteen kinds of weapons, and the "eighteen kinds of weapons" of each dynasty are different. We will take the "eighteen weapons" of the Song Dynasty where the heroes of Liangshan lived as the basis for this article.
The eighteen types of weapons are: bows, crossbows, knives, spears, swords, halberds, axes, axes, axes, hooks, forks, chains, whips, spears, shields, clubs, lances, lassoes, and meteor hammers. After careful analysis, all of these eighteen weapons appeared in "Water Margin", and the most powerful of them was not Lin Chong's spear or Wu Song's knife. The following "History Book Lingxuan Pavilion" will analyze the eighteen weapons in "Water Margin" one by one in order of strength.
18, chain - Zhiduoxing Wu use
The chain is a kind of ancient soft weapon, because it is very difficult to operate, so there is no more than ten years of hard work, and it will be used to smoke one's own face. In "Water Margin", the weapon used by Wu Yong is a copper chain. When Liu Tang and Lei Heng were heading out, Wu Yong shouted and separated the two who were fighting with a copper chain.
17. Fork - Solve the treasure and solve the treasure
The fork is a kind of long weapon in ancient times, because it cannot be cut or split, and the shape is not beautiful, so it is rarely used as the main weapon on the battlefield. The two brothers in the Water Margin are from Orion, so the weapons they use are steel forks. Xie Zhen and Xie Bao can be called the two weakest of Liangshan's 36 Tiangang, and the two of them joined forces, but they couldn't hold out for 10 rounds under Wu Song.
16, shield - Xiang Chong Li Gon
The shield is a defensive weapon that is usually used in conjunction with short weapons such as swords. The weapons used by the eight-armed Nezha Xiang Chong and the flying sage Li Gon in "Water Margin" are shields, and with their own flying knives and javelins, their power on the battlefield cannot be underestimated.

15, lance - Yum general Han Tao
The lance was a weapon of ancient heavy cavalry, similar in appearance to a mace, but lighter in weight than a mace. In "Water Margin", Han Tao's weapon is a jujube lance. Although Han Tao's nickname "Baisheng General" is very domineering, his personal strength is very average, and in all the head-to-head heads-up, Han Tao basically never won.
14, lasso - a zhang green Hu Sanniang
The lasso, also known as the rope, is a kind of soft weapon, which is very dependent on the technique and the quasi-head. The weapons used by Hu Sanniang in the Water Margin are double knives and lassoes. When Hu Yanzhuo led a chain of horses to conquer Liangshan, she used a red cotton lasso to capture Hu Yanzhuo's deputy general Peng Xi alive. But when Hu Sanniang faced Lin Chong, she was captured alive by Lin Chong for 3 rounds. (Author: Shi Shu Ling Xuan Ge)
13, hook - Xu Ning, the golden gunner
The hook is a kind of ancient long weapon, which evolved from "Ge", and is the main weapon of infantry against cavalry. When Xu Ning broke the chain of horses, the weapon he used was the "hook and sickle gun". The hook and sickle gun actually made some improvements to the "hook", which can be stabbed and picked, but its main role is to hook the horse's legs with the hook.
12, axe - black whirlwind Li Kui
There are many types of axes, and the weapon used by Li Kui is the plate axe, that is, the short axe. Axes are very powerful weapons, and if the user lacks strength, they are far less powerful than swords. And Li Kui is known as the "Iron Bull" and has brute strength, so the power of Li Kui's plate axe is still very considerable. But Li Kui can't be compared with masters like Wu Song and Lin Chong, he can only bully honest people.
11. Crossbow - Ronzi Yanqing
The crossbow is an improved weapon that fires multiple times in a row, but takes a long time to reload. The weapon used by Yan Qing in the Water Margin is the crossbow, and Yan Qing uses a very small crossbow with high accuracy, but the range is short and the power is small.

10, Yue - urgent pioneer Suo Chao
The Yue is also a long-handled axe, which is not small but too bulky, so it is generally used as a guard of honor weapon and is rarely used on the battlefield. In the Water Margin, Suo Chao, one of the eight hussars of Liangshan, was a weapon with a long axe.
9, halberd - Lu Fang Guo Sheng
The halberd, which is also the most famous "Fang Tian Painting Halberd", the fierce general of the Three Kingdoms, Lu Bu, brought a domineering spirit that is difficult to hide to this weapon. But halberds, like the halberd, are honor weapons and are rarely used in actual combat. The weapon used by Lu Fang Guo Sheng in the Water Margin is the Fang Tian Painting Halberd, in which Lu Fang's martial arts progress rapidly, and he can fight Shi Bao alone for 50 rounds when he conquers Fang La.
8. Meteor Hammer - Shi Bao
The Meteor Hammer is a soft weapon that attaches an iron hammer to one or both ends of a long rope, and can also be used as a hidden weapon. In the Water Margin, Shi Bao, the general of Nanli under Fang La, used a meteor hammer to kill Suo Chao, one of the eight hussars of Liangshan. (Author: Shi Shu Ling Xuan Ge)
7. Whip - double whip exhalation
The whip is actually basically the same as the mace, both are two-handed short weapons, and the moves are similar to the sword, which is suitable for cavalry. Hu Yanzhuo, one of the five tiger generals of Liangshan in the Water Margin, his weapon is a double whip. Hu Yanzhuo fought with Lin Chong, Qin Ming, Yang Zhi, Lu Zhishen, etc., and the results were all draws.
6, stick - thunderbolt fire Qin Ming

5, sword - dragon slayer Sun An, timely rain Song Jiang
The sword is the king of a hundred soldiers, and it is also a must-have for masters in martial arts novels. There are not many masters who use swords in the Water Margin, and Song Jiang's weapon is a sword, but it only plays a decorative role. And Sun An is a sword god-level figure in the Water Margin, he is a fierce general under Tian Hu, and he drew with Lu Junyi in 50 rounds with the double swords in his hand.
4、弓——小李广花荣、小养由基庞万春
The bow is a powerful long-range weapon, and it is also one of the main weapons on the ancient battlefield. There are two arrow gods in the Water Margin, one is Xiao Li Guanghuarong, one of the eight hussars of Liangshan, and the other is Xiao Yangyouji Pang Wanchun under the command of Fang La. Needless to say, Hua Rong's archery can pierce Yang in a hundred steps. Pang Wanchun's archery skills were not under Hua Rong, and he shot a total of seven Liangshan heroes, including Shi Jin, the nine-pattern dragon.
3. Spear - Leopard head Lin Chong
The spear is the predecessor of the gun, and the gun is an improvement on the spear. Lin Chong, the first-class master leopard head in the Water Margin, uses a weapon that is a Zhangba snake spear. Lin Chong is the top player on Liangshan, with a total of 22 shots in the book, 18 wins and 4 draws, and no defeat. The Zhangba snake spear in Lin Chong's hand was very powerful.
2. Knife - Wu Song, the big knife Guan Sheng
The sword is the commander of a hundred soldiers, and there are short knives and long knives. In the Water Margin, there are many masters who use knives, such as Yang Zhi, Zhu Tong, Li Ying, Liu Tang, etc., but the most powerful ones are Wu Song and Guan Sheng. Guan Sheng's weapon is the Qinglong Yanyue Knife, and he once singled out Lin Chong and Qin Ming, and he did not fall behind at all. And Wu Song's knife can be called a big killer of the Water Margin, the knife cuts the centipede Taoist, kills Yelu in seconds, and hangs and beats Bei Yingkui. Wu Song's knife is a sword that represents legend and blood.
1, gun - jade unicorn Lu Junyi
The gun is the king of a hundred soldiers, and Zhao Yun and Ma Chao in the Three Kingdoms are all famous generals who use guns. In the Water Margin, the most powerful weapon is not Lin Chong's spear, nor Wu Song's knife, but Lu Junyi's gun. Lu Junyi's martial arts are the best in the Water Margin, and he is known as "unparalleled guns and sticks". Lu Junyi's capture of Shi Wengong alive in one face is enough to show that his strength is more than one grade beyond the Liangshan Five Tiger Generals, and he is definitely above Lin Chong.
