Yue Fei was a famous patriotic general in the early Southern Song Dynasty. In the raging war between the Song and Jin Dynasties, Yue Fei used his extraordinary courage and talent to turn the tide, repeatedly thwarting the attacks of the Jin soldiers, and almost single-handedly saved the Southern Song Dynasty. It is no exaggeration to say that without the bloody battle of Yue Fei and the Yue Family Army, the Southern Song Dynasty would have been completely defeated by the attack of the Jin Kingdom's cavalry and perished.

The reason why Yue Fei was able to achieve such impressive achievements as the Great Victory at Yilin City and the Great Victory at Zhuxian Town is inseparable from his personal military talent. As a general who commands the army, Yue Fei has one of the most valuable qualities: he is both civil and military. The term "possessed in both civil and military affairs" is often used as a general term to praise military generals. There are very few generals who are truly versatile in both civil and military affairs. But when this word is applied to Yue Fei, it can be said that it is well deserved.

Yue Fei has been practicing martial arts since he was a child. He learned archery from Zhou Tong, a famous martial artist at that time, and marksmanship from Chen Guang, a spear master. He had already developed extraordinary martial arts at a young age. According to historical records, he was under At the age of twenty, his marksmanship is already invincible in the county. After Yue Fei joined the army, he started out as a low-level officer and fought countless battles on harsh battlefields. His marksmanship was tested in actual combat, and he gradually reached the level of proficiency.

Historical data records that Yue Fei's main weapon on the battlefield was the spear,?

With a bow on his left and a spear on his right, he charged across the formation, causing chaos and defeat.

After staying for a few days, he met the enemy again. Fei, riding alone with a Zhangba iron gun, assassinated the Black Wind King. The enemies were defeated. All these confirmed that Yue Fei was a master of spear skills, and the spear was his most commonly used weapon. everyday weapons.

What is puzzling is that Yue Fei has been using guns all his life and was the most outstanding marksman at that time. However, his son Yue Yun did not follow him to learn marksmanship. Instead, he took a different approach and chose He got a pair of big hammers as weapons. "History of the Song Dynasty" records that Fei Fei conquered and conquered, and he did not hesitate to fight. He made many extraordinary achievements and flew to hide them. In each battle, he holds two hammers in his hands, weighing eighty kilograms.

What is the reason why Yue Yun gave up using a gun but switched to a sledgehammer? It is not difficult to understand why this situation occurs. Although the gun is known as the "King of One Hundred Weapons" and is a commonly used weapon with a very high application rate, for Lian Jiazi, it is far from perfect. It is short in length and long in inch. The gun also has two fatal flaws. , not suitable for everyone.

The first flaw is that spearmanship is easy to learn but difficult to master. If you want to become a master of spear skills and make the spear in your hand truly become a weapon for killing enemies on the battlefield, it will not be achieved overnight. There is a long-standing saying in the martial arts: "A moon stick, a year sword, a lifetime gun", which illustrates this point very vividly. After Yue Yun came of age, the Song-Jin war was at its peak, and the wars were frequent and fierce. Therefore, Yue Yun could not have more time to slowly hone his marksmanship over a long period of time.

Since the spear in actual combat only relies on the small spear head to kill the enemy, it is difficult for those who are not good at shooting to kill the enemy quickly and accurately, unless they study hard and practice hard over time. In order to form combat effectiveness. Therefore, for beginners, guns are far inferior to weapons such as swords. They can stab and cut, are easy to carry, and are therefore more deterrent and lethal.

The second flaw is that the gun has a long handle and requires both hands to operate. It has specific requirements for the space and location of use, and it cannot adapt to the complex combat environment of all-weather and all-terrain conditions. When fighting in the vast plains and wilderness, guns can show their talents, but once it comes to narrow and narrow street fighting, or when climbing ladders in siege operations, the use of long guns will be greatly limited.

With these two major flaws in the gun, it is not difficult to understand why it was abandoned by Yue Yun. In contrast, as a short weapon, the hammer is easy to carry, can adapt to various combat environments, and is easy to operate. Even if you don't know martial arts, you can kill the enemy with brute force. Therefore, the hammer's actual combat effectiveness is also No less than a gun.
