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. "
In modern times, A Xiang soldiers went on strike. Participants wear protective gear and use various weapons to fight. Pike always has a great advantage, and the winning rate in the circle of soldiers is extremely high. Because it is one inch long and one inch strong, but it is flexible. Even a novice who has only been practicing pike for a month can beat an old hand who has been practicing sword for many years in a one-on-one battle.
It can be found that many military commanders who used other weapons in ancient books also used guns in official history. For example, Qin Qiong, who used a double mace in the Romance of Sui and Tang Dynasties, was recorded as "leaping forward with a gun" in the Book of Old Tang Dynasty, stabbing an outstanding soldier assassinated by Emperor Taizong. In fact, in ancient China, blunt weapons such as whips, hammers and hammers were generally used with one hand as auxiliary weapons. For example, Li Yuanba is actually a fictional character in The Romance of Sui and Tang Dynasties. Lu Bu, who painted a halberd with Tian Fang in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, was recorded in Hero at the end of the Han Dynasty as "the cloud confronted Bunaidu and Bunaidu stabbed the cloud with a spear." ? It is recorded in the Book of the Later Han Dynasty: "Ying Bu stabbed Zhuo with a spear, and he was interested in cutting it." There are many similar examples.
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 it is the spear and spear of the horse god of war, but it is actually a kind of gun.
In addition, the titles of other hundred soldiers can't find the source of ancient books, which belong to folk circulation.
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 it is to be used to discuss actual combat, it is actually not credible.
