After entering the 2 1 century, the so-called tangdao began to be active in the online world of China through the rendering of online media and the hard performance of arts and crafts masters. Among them, Tang Jun's most extensive horizontal knife is highly respected, and then sublimated into many beautiful historical imaginations. Therefore, many people regard the horizontal knife as the number one artifact for Tang Jun to defeat the enemy. Even divergent thinking to the Japanese mountain city, that its customs originated in the prosperous Tang Dynasty. But is history really what they think? The so-called Tangdao is often forcibly associated with the later Japanese mountain city. Before the establishment of the early Tang Dynasty, the weapons and tactical styles used by its troops were generally stereotyped. As the main weapon of sergeant, the horizontal knife is equipped with a large number of equipment. However, if we look at the historical materials carefully, we can easily find that the Tang people never used the horizontal knife as the main weapon of soldiers, let alone put high hopes on it. On the contrary, in the eyes of people at that time, it was just an auxiliary weapon that soldiers always had. According to the popular regulations of the officers and men system in the early Tang Dynasty, all soldiers who report to the front must bring their own basic weapons. In addition to the iconic 1 bow +30 arrows, you need to prepare your own 1 horizontal knife. At first glance, the amount of equipment for horizontal knives should be extremely amazing. However, in the most important military code at that time-The Art of War of Li Jing in Gong Wei in Tang Dynasty, most of the contents were about how to train soldiers to fight with spears and bows and arrows. The whole article is almost silent about the horizontal knife, which is regarded as a sharp weapon by many people. In the Tang Dynasty, military men generally wore horizontal knives as a status symbol. Some people think that this is because soldiers admire long guns after centralized reporting, so they need extra intensive training. But soldiers also have bows and arrows at home, and they will also conduct large-scale drills after assembly. This also shows that the position of Hengdao in Tang Jun Arsenal can only be relegated to the third place. General doesn't expect soldiers to wield swords to make meritorious deeds, and ordinary sergeants don't think that horizontal knives can help them gain any advantage on the battlefield. Similarly, in the records of major battles at that time, we could not find the trace of the horizontal knife at all. On the contrary, pike has repeatedly made outstanding achievements in fierce battles. No matter whether the opponent is a large synthetic army inclined to settle down or a grassland cavalry with a crooked knife, it is not something that soldiers can restrain with a horizontal knife. The position of the horizontal knife can only be relegated to the position of pike and bow and arrow, such as the battle of tiger fastened shut that decided the fate of the Central Plains. In the face of the provocation of 300 elite cavalry in Dou Jiande, Tang Jun chose to send 200 elite long gunmen to fight, which directly defeated the other side's offensive. Later, Emperor Taizong personally levied Koguryo Anshi City and was met by Koguryo troops who went out to fight. Tang Jun still launched a surprise attack with 10,000 long gunmen, and beat Koguryo people to flight with a small number of heavy infantry. Even if some soldiers with suspenders helped, they failed to turn the situation around in the melee. When the battlefield changed from a small plain in a mountainous area to a grassland, the pike, which was regarded as heavy by many people, was still effective. Facing the dismounted archers of Xue featherleaf rodgersflower tribe, many Tang Jun cavalry had to fight on foot because their horses were shot by arrows. They are very skilled in forming a gun array, charging opponents who lack professional heavy infantry and quickly breaking through the opponent's projection line. When confronting the cavalry of the West Turkic Khanate, Tang Jun also chose to follow the artillery array composed of infantry to resist the charge of the other fighters. Wait for the other party to be exhausted because of repeated killings without results, and then send cavalry to fight back. The position of pike in training and actual combat is irreplaceable. Through these representative examples, we can know that although Tang Jun is equipped with a large number of horizontal knives, it is the pike that really defeats the enemy's melee arms. It is no exaggeration to say that whether there is a horizontal knife has no effect on Tang Jun's combat effectiveness. Even if a soldier only wears a dagger or an axe around his waist, there will be no essential difference. In the middle Tang Dynasty, the recruitment system completely replaced the officers and men. The book "Taibai Silence" that appeared at that time also reflected the usual training methods of generals in the Tang Dynasty. According to the ordnance distribution ratio recorded in the book, 40% of Tang Jun usually uses long guns, and 10% of the elite equipment is equipped with shield spears, accounting for half of the team. In addition, there are 10% baseball players, 30% archers and 10% crossbowmen. Among them, melee troops must also be equipped with armor. Except for the shield spearmen and cudgel soldiers, which account for 20% of the total number, the remaining 80% sailors and crossbowmen wear horizontal knives. There are no soldiers with horizontal knives as the main weapon in the whole team. Crossbow is one of the few equipment in Tang Jun, although this idealized arms configuration will change due to various objective conditions. However, the fact that most Tang Jun does not rely on the horizontal knife is also obvious. It was not until the end of the dynasty that a small number of water transport troops stationed along the canal appeared, and they would mainly rely on the configuration of horizontal knives and shields. But this is because they often need to prepare for water wars and cannot play in border wars. Considering that almost all opponents have strong cavalry units, this is very reasonable. At the same time, the long-handled weapon known as the strange knife also occupied a little position in the Tang army in the middle and late period. But users are often elite fighters who are personally in command of the general. Its duty is to be a patrol or a second-line leak-filling force, accounting for a very small proportion of the whole army. But it is precisely because of their occasional exposure that many unknown so people make up for it and directly carry it to show the value of the horizontal knife. On this basis, rumors that Tang Jun won with a knife began to fly all over the sky. Some so-called masters also took the opportunity to add fuel to the fire, branding the workshop products with cultural traditions and driving up prices with feelings. Ink knife, as a long-handled weapon, is often used to strengthen tangdao's winning theory. However, if a warrior of the Tang Dynasty is resurrected, he will be surprised by tangdao's winning theory in the 2nd/kloc-0th century. After all, there is no essential difference between the horizontal knife worn by yourself and your comrades and the sword, axe or dagger worn by your opponent's waist. Does Tang Daosheng also support Mongolian Khan? Did the emperors of the Ming Dynasty also support Tang Dao's theory of winning? Does Tang Daosheng also support the naval prefect? Does Tang Dao's winning theory also support it? Later, if the generals in the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties knew about it, they would also lament the size of the brain holes in later generations. Because long-handled weapons like strange knives have never disappeared from specific groups. Can't the Han army in the Western Expedition to Central Asia and the imperial army in the Ming Dynasty, which were completely annihilated by the Tubo army, ensure complete victory by holding high rare knives and treasures? As for Guan Tianpei, the naval commander who can wield long-handled knives in Europe, and the Boxer Brothers, there will be more contradictory ideas about this statement. ......
