Vairocana is certainly a rare treasure sword that is hard to come by.

However, no matter how powerful a sword is, it can never get rid of the weakness of "too narrow attack range".

In fact, it is not impossible to use a knife in cavalry battles.

It is better to say that looking at the ancient and modern times, short-soldiers have always been one of the mainstream weapons in cavalry warfare.

In modern West, there was a debate about whether it is a straight sword or a saber to work for cavalry.

Even so, no matter what, the sword's too narrow attack range is ultimately a flaw.

The Japanese are too short, and the green is too tall (1.75 meters).

The average height of Japanese men in the 19th century was probably between 1.4 and 1.5 meters.

Qing Deng, who was already tall, rode on the back of the carrot... If he used a sword as a weapon, he might not be able to cut down those shorter guys!

In short, long pole weapons must be used to exert the most terrifying power in cavalry warfare.

Although it is the era of firearms, cavalry still has irreplaceable tactical value.

He was already a general guarding the side. He might have to lead the cavalry one day in the future, just like Xiang Yu and Lu Fengxian, to lead the cavalry to charge into battle.

Therefore, for Qingdeng, it is not appropriate to delay the use of a long weapon specially used for cavalry warfare.

The most suitable weapon for cavalry warfare is undoubtedly the spear known as the "King of All Warriors".

However, in Qingdeng's view, it is better to hold a spear than to use a gun!

The difference between spear, gun and spear is actually very simple.

It is very easy to distinguish between guns and spears: the hard rods are spears, and the soft rods are guns.

Everything else, such as whether there is a red tassel or the shape of the spear head, does not matter. Just looking at the hardness and softness of the rod, you can accurately distinguish the two.

In history, there were spears that appeared first and guns that appeared later.

As for the spear, it belongs to a branch of the spear, and the particularly long spear is called the spear.

Generally speaking, the tip of the spear is a slender sword shape, which is very conducive to breaking armor.

Because it is a weapon of the same origin and species, the spear and spear have a common problem, namely the limitation of a hard rod.

The novels and stories about the storytelling of the drama can always dance spears and spears up and down on the horse's back, kill in and out of the enemy's formation, and kill in and out of many generals one after another.

In fact, this situation is simply impossible to happen in reality.

The speed of the war horse after charging, the enemy's armor and body blocking, the reaction force after stabbing the target... The huge impact force generated by the superposition of multiple phases is definitely a powerful way to control it! It transcends the limit of the physical body!

In a nutshell: when you drive a horse, charge, spear, or spear hit the enemy, your hands will definitely not be able to hold the pole.

If you have to hold the lever tightly, no matter whether you can hold it or not, you will end up with a sprained wrist.

It's a bit serious, a rupture of the tiger's mouth, a fracture of the wrist and arm, etc.... It's not a strange thing at all.

Therefore, the spears of ancient cavalry were often one-time.

The moment you stab the enemy, let go, leave the spear in the enemy's body, and then draw out the saber, copper mace or other weapons to continue fighting.

The same is true for spears, which cannot be separated from the shackles of hard poles.

During the Sui and Tang Dynasties in China, spears were very popular.

The combat records of military generals during this period did not exist in the scene of "carving a long spear and riding a horse and fighting with enemy generals for 300 rounds."

Basically, after stabbing the target with a spear, they immediately take off their hands, pull out other weapons, and then use the impact to fight with the enemy generals. Often, the winner will be decided in one or two rounds.

By the Song Dynasty, the production process made great progress, and soft rod guns were born, which made up for the limitations of hard rods.

The gun rod is soft, so the moment the enemy is stabbed, the sudden bent gun rod will play an excellent buffering role and greatly reduce the impact force, so that you don’t have to let go.

In addition, when the curved gun rod is straightened again, an additional impact will be generated, which can directly bounce the enemy. The knight can use the force to pull the gun back and continue to fight with the gun.

Not only that, the attack methods of guns are also more diverse than spears and spears.

The attack method of spears and spears is very single, basically it is to smash and stab.

In comparison, soft-stick guns can play a lot of tricks.

The gun bar shakes, and the tip of the gun turns into a "flower", making the enemy unable to defend.

Since the advent of guns, they have quickly become mainstream weapons on the battlefield, establishing the lofty status of "King of All Warriors", and spears and spears gradually withdrew from the stage of history.

If you want to choose a weapon right away, a spear that can fight continuously and has multiple attack methods is naturally the first choice.

However, Qingdeng still chose to use a spear as his immediate weapon.

The reason is not complicated.

Although guns have many advantages compared to spears, there is one thing that everyone agrees with: spears are simple and crude, powerful heavy weapons! Guns, spears and other spears cannot be compared with them at all!

After a normal person pushes his spear, he really cannot pull it back.

But the question is... Is Qingdeng a normal person?

PS: Logically speaking, it is impossible for Aoden to buy a long spear in Japan in the 19th century, but because this book is a novel, anything unreasonable can become reasonable! (Leopard is confident)
