The wolf's tooth baton is a very heavy thing, something used by cavalry. An infantryman carrying a wolfsbane was killed by a stick before he could reach someone's house. Woe betide him!
The biggest problem of the Song Dynasty was the lack of horses! And Jin's biggest advantage was having horses.
It's very convenient for the women to chop down with a wolfsbane, while it's not convenient for a Song soldier to poke upwards if he lifts it, right?
Get a lance to poke upwards, afraid that it is still a little convenient.
Wolf tooth stick, suitable for knocking downward, knock infantrymen brain burst, crash cavalrymen weapons flying.
But to knock from the bottom to the top, is not a bit of trouble!
But the Song dynasty also used the wolf's tooth baton, mainly used by the cavalry.
Water Margin, that Qin Ming is not the use of the wolf tooth stick. But that thing looks pretty, but it's not necessarily a good idea to use it!
If an infantryman takes a wolfsbane and swings it, in the case of swinging, I guess the first next comrade will fly.
So relatively speaking, the heavy axe and lance to be much more useful, and in the case of a shortage of horses, the infantry have to work together is to clean up the cavalry, the ancient so-called formation, a few people work together, into a small team. Then the wolf tooth stick a swing up, with their comrades all hit fly. And also fight which kind of war oh!
The Song Dynasty also has heavy armor troops, infantry armor. But mainly infantrymen, wearing armor, heavy armor, but they took axes, heavy hammers, large swords. Axes and hammers, chopping, hacking, smashing. The wolfsbane! It's just a little bit worse.
And it's not like the Song Dynasty didn't have a wolfsbane. The one that looks different from the one in the Jin Dynasty, he lengthened the stick, only the front bit is the wolf teeth, so that it is easy to reach the cavalry, mainly to deal with the cavalry use.
But it was never as convenient for infantry as it was for cavalry.
Sis and the Song general agreed that it would be easier to use a hook and sickle spear.
Scene Repeat
First, the cavalry is resisted with heavy human armor.
The infantryman immediately uses his hook and sickle to hook him wa off his horse.
Heavy Man Armor knocks his waifu to death with a heavy hammer or with a heavy axe. Otherwise, you can use a sword to cut, but you must cooperate with the attack,
So, there is strength in numbers, honestly! Unity is strength, the ancient saying!
And then there's the bar! The Song army is not facing a minority force such as stragglers, but a minority state with sound institutions. This alone makes a difference, as the minorities have gone from fighting without a rear to having a rear force with weapons, medical, and food support.
And in terms of science and technology, Xixia in the Northern Song Dynasty has begun to use the vertical bellows wind metallurgy technology, the degree of sophistication even more than the Song Dynasty, the cavalry also has a similar wolf tooth stick a class of armor-breaking weapons, stirrups also let the cavalry's impact is greatly improved, riding buffs began to be added, naturally, can be Bo no pressure to counteract the Song Dynasty
So science and technology represents advanced productivity, and only advanced production. The only way you can get the upper hand is to have advanced production!
