The reason why the gun is called the king of hundreds of soldiers is actually because the gun always has a huge advantage in the battle. This can be found in ancient books.
Cheng Zhongdou said: "The gun is the king of art, and it is difficult for the enemy with its various devices." "The world respects guns as the king of art, and beggars' gangs can't match this skill."
"Weapons" wrote: "The gun is the king of all weapons, and all weapons are defeated by guns. Drop the gun, so the stick is broken, and arrange flowers left and right, so the card is broken. Broken arrow, fork, shovel, double knife, short knife, broken whip, mace, broadsword, halberd, hook jump. People just didn't see the real guns, so they were fascinated by these devices. As soon as you get the real gun, you treat all the devices as jokes. I don't know: a bloody battle is hand-to-hand combat. If the husband and the enemy are within 20 feet, isn't that a bloody battle? What's the use of such a short weapon if the real gunman kills people and the enemy can't get within ten feet? Just to rob the camp, fight in the street, take a knife and slap your ears. As for the crossbow, it must be twenty paces away, the shield can be restrained, the gun can't hit, and it will take days. Although they are good at guns, they are not afraid. "
Judging from these ancient books, guns always win when fighting other weapons, and even "all weapons are defeated by guns." So the king of hundreds of soldiers is a gun.
A modern strike movement of Hunan soldiers also confirmed this statement. Participants wear protective gear and use various weapons to fight. Parker always has a huge advantage in the circle of soldiers, and the winning rate is very high. Because it is one inch long and one inch strong, but it is flexible. There is also a saying in Japan that "kendo is three times as long and pike is nine times as long", which means that kendo is three times as powerful as karate in the same position, and the gun is nine times as powerful as karate in the same position. In other words, under the same training time, pike has the strongest fighting capacity. An inch long and an inch strong is indeed the truth.
There is a saying that "the moon stick knife can be used for a lifetime." In fact, that sentence only comes from Lao She's novels. In fact, even a novice who has only practiced pike for a month can beat the veteran who has practiced sword for many years in a one-on-one battle.
It can be found that many military commanders who use other weapons in romance novels and stories also use guns in official history.
In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Lu Bu painted a halberd with Tian Fang, and in the official history, he used a spear. In "Hero" at the end of the Han Dynasty, he was recorded as "the cloud confronted Bunaidu, and the cloth stabbed the cloud with a spear." It is recorded in the Book of the Later Han Dynasty: "Stab Zhuo with a spear, and cut it with interesting soldiers.
Qin Qiong, who used a double mace in the Romance of Sui and Tang Dynasties, is also recorded in the official history as "leaping forward with a gun" and stabbing the enemy general killed by Emperor Taizong.
Some people may say that a spear is not a gun. In fact, the official classic of the Tang Dynasty, The Six Classics of the Tang Dynasty, and the important military work of the Ming Dynasty, Wu Beizhi, all refer to guns as the general term for spears. For example, "Wu Beizhi" said: "All the theories of calendar examination are guns and the like." In other words, some people think that the spear and spear of "Ma Zhanshen" are actually a kind of gun.
Needless to say, long guns deal with short soldiers. An inch long and an inch strong. You can refer to the strike of soldiers. Whether it is a one-on-one fight or a team battle, it is basically a long gun and a short gun to win.
"There is no hidden record": "Every time I see a one-handed master, it is generally a waste of words. I went behind enemy lines, leaving without a gun, and I was practical! " "The emptiness of the gun will change greatly, which will exceed the power of the knife."
Qi Ming Jiguang's "The Skill of Gun Training" explained the weapon system and the pike system: "A thin bamboo is one foot and eight feet, and a sharp blade is used on it, which is no more than four Liang, or it looks like a duck's bill, or a thin knife, or the tip is divided into two blades, and the method is also beneficial to the ridge to the blade. We must adhere to the orthodox roots, use the Yang family method, and kill the Japanese with the south from the beginning, all because of this, which is conducive to its advantages. The Japanese have a short blade and are used to it. He was stabbed before he reached me. "
Qi Ming Jiguang's Record of Training, Miscellaneous Collection, Volume II, General Theory of Training: "If you kill the Japanese at first, you will lose quickly every victory. Why? The knives used are all long cards and short knives. The enemy attacked the enemy with a pike. "
Although some people always say how sharp Japanese knives are. However, it can be found that Benduo Zhongsheng, the most fierce Japanese military commander, used a pike to cut dragonflies. Makita Xincun, the first knight, used a cross gun in Japan. Many great swordsmen, such as Kamiizumi Nobutsuna, fight with long guns instead of the so-called Japanese mountain cities.
When dealing with long weapons, according to Weapons Records, "broken arrow was broken by imaginary string and halberd was broken". Guns draw circles to attack, and heavy weapons such as halberds and long-handled broadswords are difficult to defend.
Some people were misled by the novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and Lu Bu also used spears in the official history.
This can also be referred to Japan, which also has a long-handled knife similar to a sword, but the pike replaced it as the main battle weapon in ancient Japan. At first, Swiss halberds were arranged in the phalanx of Swiss spears, but their side branches gradually became smaller and the proportion of equipment in the army became lower and lower.
In fact, except the gun is the king of hundreds of battles, other titles of hundreds of battles can't find the source of ancient books.
The practice of putting the knife first in the eighteen martial arts has led some people to mistakenly think that the knife is the first of the eighteen martial arts. The correct explanation is that the 18 kinds of martial arts are divided into nine long and nine short, the knife is the "first of nine short" and the gun is the "first of nine long". Moreover, this statement of "eighteen martial arts" appeared on the stage in modern times, and it is also a statement on the stage. If you want to use it to discuss actual combat, it is actually not appropriate.
