Chapter eight hundred and ninety first dance in the court
Looking at the iron halberd in his hand, Chen Wenzhe felt a little moved.
Now that weapons are readily available, he only needs to choose one and use his own inheritance to gain the experience of the ancients in using these weapons.
Compared with the cold weapons used by modern people, the ancient people must have higher skills in using cold weapons, because the ancient people did not have any choice.
I hope these are not just ornamental weapons. If they are all ceremonial weapons, then Chen Wenzhe will be disappointed.
With the idea in mind, Chen Wenzhe speeded up.
He arranged all the weapons neatly one by one.
Among these weapons, as long as there is a practical weapon, or in other words, as long as there is a weapon that has been used by ancient princes and guards, or used for martial arts training, Chen Wenzhe can learn some techniques from it.
As the speed increased, all kinds of junk were dug out.
In addition to the ring-shou sword and the divination-shaped halberd, the others were a bit strange, but he still recognized one, which was a short halberd, or a hand halberd.
This thing looks very similar to a halberd, so it is naturally easy to identify.
The hand halberd has a wide range of uses. You can know how to use it from the name: "Hand halberd is a halberd held and picked by the hand."
Picking it up means throwing it, so it can be seen that the halberd is a weapon for holding or throwing.
This thing is similar to the head of the "Bu"-shaped iron halberd. There is a short branch on the side of the straight thorn.
The end of the straight thorn seems to be wrapped with a thin rope for the hand to hold. It can be held with one hand and thrown from a distance to hit the enemy.
People in the Han Dynasty mostly used short halberds to protect themselves, which should be a practical weapon.
In the halls of noble officials in the Han Dynasty, there were often Binglan (weapon racks) for holding ancient swords and sabers.
The image of Binglan can often be seen on the portrait stones and portrait bricks in Han tombs.
Generally, in addition to swords, there are also hand halberds placed on them.
It seems that people at that time often used hand halberds as self-defense weapons.
This kind of weapon often appears in some ancient allusions.
For example, Sun Quan threw himself at a tiger, Liu Bei hit anyone who spoke ill of Zhao Yun, and Dong Zhuo hit Lu Bu. They all used it.
From this it can be seen that it is widely used, and the use of short halberds is still a superb martial arts.
Chen Wenzhe was very happy to discover the short halberd. He should be able to see some real kung fu this time, right?
Chen Wenzhe knew that Sun Ce, a famous Dongwu general in the late Han Dynasty, was proficient in using hand halberds.
He once threw a halberd at Yan Baihu's younger brother, killing him immediately.
Taishi Ci, who was once an enemy of Sun Ce but was later subdued, was also good at using a hand halberd.
During the duel at Shenting Ridge, Sun Ce took away Taishi Ci's halberd stuck on his back, and Taishi Ci took Sun Ce's head.
In addition to throwing, the halberd can also be used in melee combat.
"Three Kingdoms. Book of Wei. Chronicles of Emperor Wu" annotated "Yi Xiang Yu Yu" and said: Cao Cao "often passed down personal orders to Zhang Rangshou. When Rang was informed, he would dance with a halberd in the court."
These are all about the use of the short halberd, so after seeing the short halberd, Chen Wenzhe carefully cleaned them out one by one.
And what is left in the end? The shape looks a bit strange!
Chen Wenzhe knew something about the weapons of the Han Dynasty, but he still didn't know what some weapons were.
What's more, the strange-looking weapon in front of me was extremely rusty.
There is no other way, Chen Wenzhe can only look back and see how these things are used.
"Is it crochet?"
Through backtracking, Chen Wenzhe knew that this thing was probably a hook inlay.
This thing is even called a whimsical "hook setting".
The hook set is a common compound weapon in the Han Dynasty that combines a hook and a shield.
This kind of weapon has three functions: defense, hook, and push. It is generally used in conjunction with the ring-shou knife.
When fighting, the hook of the left hand is usually used to hook the enemy's long weapon. It is especially effective for the small branches protruding from the head of the halberd.
After hooking, at the same time, the right hand swings the sword towards the enemy's front door.
In some martial arts novels, it is described as a gauntlet-type weapon, which is pure nonsense.
There are not many records about hook inlay in historical documents, so it is difficult to see the full picture.
However, the actual objects have been discovered many times during archaeological excavations.
In addition, in the Han Dynasty portrait stones and bricks, there are also many hook inlays and figures using hook inlays. The information is quite rich, otherwise Chen Wenzhe would not be able to remember it.
The hook inlay is in the shape of a bow as a whole, with an outward curved hook at each end. The upper hook of the two curved hooks is generally longer than the lower hook.
The hook is a long cylindrical iron collar, both slightly bent backwards.
The upper hook has a sharp tip, and the lower hook has a small ball at the end.
Some are sharp-pointed: the two hooks are connected to the handle behind a small iron inlay (shield), and in front of the handle is an inlay made of a rectangular thin iron plate with rounded corners.
Use round cap nails to fix it on the hook frame. Some inlays are in the shape of a plow with a wide top and narrow bottom.
Hook setting is generally about 60-70 cm long, including the upper hook, lower hook and the middle setting.
In addition, Asan also has a weapon with similar shape and function, called a ram's horn shield. It can be said that the hook inlay and the ram's horn shield have the same purpose.
There was only a small pile of weapons in this batch, and the number would not exceed a hundred pieces, so Chen Wenzhe cleaned them up fairly quickly.
However, after cleaning up this batch of weapons, four weapons used by the ancients were also selected.
A ring-headed sword of the best quality, a divination-shaped halberd, a short halberd, and finally a hook-mounted halberd.
These four weapons should be among the many weapons that have been used by people for a long time.
Many of the others were newly made. After they were made, they were placed in the tombs and buried with them.
Such weapons are of little use to Chen Wenzhe.
Of course, there may be some practical tools inside, but Chen Wenzhe can't go back to them all.
He can only choose what can be used, and then choose what is useful among them.
In the end, he did not choose the ring-shou sword as the object of study, but chose a short iron halberd as the object of independent study.
After starting independent learning, he immediately learned a lot of skills.
This time it was real kung fu, and not only the short halberd, but also the usage of the divination-shaped halberd and the ring-shou sword were also included in the instructions.
But the most important skill, and the most powerful Kung Fu among them, is the use of the short halberd.
He has reached the master level in using this weapon, and his skills with the ring-headed sword, hook inlay, and divination-shaped halberd can also reach the expert level.
Especially the ring-headed knife and the hook set are actually a knife and a shield, and it is best to use the two together.
Then there is the short halberd skill, which actually has a lot in common with the long halberd.
Countless pictures appeared in his mind at the same time, making Chen Wenzhe a little dizzy.
However, he endured it and adapted.
As long as this kind of thing doesn't happen often, his spirit can fully support it.
It can also be said that after a year of training, his mental strength has improved a lot.
It's a pity that the environment here is not suitable. Otherwise, he really wants to try it himself with the weapons in his hands to see if he can become a master.
