The king of hundreds of soldiers is a gun. In fact, only this statement has the origin of ancient books.
Cheng Chongdou said, "The gun is the king of art, and it is difficult to be enemies with its various devices." "The world respects the gun as the king of art, and Gai is also superior to it with his long skills."
It is written in The Record of Arms: "The gun is the king of all the weapons, and all the weapons are defeated by the gun. Drop the gun, so the stick is broken, and arrange flowers left and right, so the cards are broken. For the play, the sword, fork, shovel, double knife and short knife are broken, and the whip, mace, broadsword and halberd are broken by hook and jump. People only don't see the real gun, so they are fascinated by the devices. As soon as you get a real gun, you will treat all the devices as a joke. I don't know: a bloody battle is a short weapon. Is it not a bloody battle if the husband and the enemy are within 2 feet? What's the use of a short weapon if the real gunman kills people and the enemy can't get within ten feet? Only to rob the camp and fight in the street, you should whip your ears with a knife. As for the bow and crossbow, it must be twenty paces away, the card shield can be royal, the cannon can't hit, and it will take days. Although the two are longer than guns, they are not afraid. "
There is a Xiang Bing strike movement in modern times. Participants wear protective gear and use various weapons to fight. Pike can always gain a very great advantage, and the winning rate in the circle of soldiers is extremely high. Because it has the characteristics of one inch long and one inch strong, but it is flexible. Even a novice soldier who has only practiced pike for a month can beat the veteran who has practiced sword for many years in the one-on-one combat.
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 in the Book of Old Tang Dynasty as "leaping forward with a gun", stabbing a sharp soldier who was assassinated by Emperor Taizong. In fact, in ancient China, blunt weapons such as whips, maces and hammers were generally used as auxiliary weapons with one hand. For example, Li Yuanba was actually a fictional character in The Romance of Sui and Tang Dynasties. Lu Bu, who used Fang Tian to paint a halberd in The Romance of the Three Kingdoms, was recorded in A Hero at the End of Han Dynasty as "Yun and Bu Naidu fought against each other, and Bu Naidu stabbed Yun with a spear." ? In the Book of the Later Han Dynasty, it was recorded: "Bu Ying stabbed Zhuo with a spear, and the interesting soldiers cut 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, Six Classics of the Tang Dynasty, and the important military book of the Ming Dynasty, Wu Beizhi, all refer to guns as a general term for spears. For example, "Wu Beizhi" said: "The various theories of the calendar test are all guns and so on." That is to say, the spear and the spear that some people think are the ares of the horse are actually a kind of gun.
In addition, other titles of Hundred Soldiers can't find the source of ancient books, which belongs to folk circulation.
The practice of putting the knife in the first place 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 actually that the eighteen martial arts are divided into nine long and nine short, with the knife as the "first of nine short" and the gun as the "first of nine long". Moreover, this statement of "eighteen martial arts" appeared on the stage in modern times, and it is a statement on the stage. If it is to be used to discuss actual combat, it is actually not credible.
