There are many ways to use the Mo knife, and the history recorded by the Confucian scholars who were more emotional than rational and did not pay attention to combat, there are only two ways to use the Mo knife, slashing and wielding. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info, but rational analysis is not.

Let's talk about splitting first, according to the history books, Mo Dao entered like a wall, and then chopped and killed together. Because for the soldiers, the sharpness of the weapon in front of them can effectively boost their morale .... Well, it's to give yourself courage! So, what is a normal, plausible attack? Hold the knife in front of him, but bend his arm, leaving the force to stab forward. The bright Mo sword is like a wall, on the one hand, it can effectively boost the morale of its own soldiers, and on the other hand, it can also deter the enemy very seriously.

The deterrence brought by the wide and sharp Mo knife to the enemy is far from being comparable to the narrow spearhead and spearhead. When you get close to an enemy, stab them with force, or slash, chop, or slash if necessary. The Mo knife is eight or nine feet long and has a sharp front end, therefore, the stab should be a common attack method of the Mo knife because the Mo knife is so sharp at the tip. The Mo knife is a long-handled waist-to-waist combat knife, known as a wall-propelled sword.

Modao warfare, one is collective combat, pay attention to teamwork; The second is to have a clear point of attack, that is, to deal with cavalry and make up for the weakness of the lack of horses. As early as the Warring States period, the Qin army used an extra-long spear to form a spear phalanx similar to that of ancient Greek Macedonia. In the middle of the Ming Dynasty, the sabers of the Qi family army were specially used to deal with the Tatar cavalry, cutting off the legs of horses and cutting heads, so that the Tatars did not dare to attack for several years.

According to Li Jing's "Law of the Guards and Soldiers", the main combat methods of the Tang army were recorded: among them, the armies were divided into archers, crossbowmen, garrisons, battle strikers, horse troops, jumpers, surprise soldiers and so on. Whenever the battle began, and the enemy was at one hundred and fifty paces, the crossbowmen began to fire; When the enemy was at sixty paces, the archers began to shoot arrows; When the enemy enters twenty paces, the crossbowmen will hold the sword, the stick and the front team after the arrow, and the hoplites will fight together, and after the hoplites and the enemy's infantry cavalry are in short contact, the odd soldiers, horse troops, and jumping troops are not allowed to act rashly, if the battle situation of the infantry in front is not smooth, the jumping, the odd soldiers, and the horse army can meet the front enemy attack, and the heavy infantry will retreat and reorganize and prepare to reinforce, if the jumping, the odd soldiers, and the horse army attack is unfavorable, All infantry troops (in addition to heavy infantry armed with swords, the Tang Dynasty army also included shield bearers who defended against long-range weapons such as bows and arrows, and light infantry armed with short weapons) had to fight in conjunction with the Ma army. When the enemy retreats, the Ma army must not pursue it easily, and it must be confirmed that the enemy is truly defeated before they can cover up and kill one after another. The Tang army is a combination of infantry and horses, offensive and defensive, infantry is the frontal vanguard is the most important frontal attack force, cavalry is the side auxiliary, usually used to outflank the enemy or quickly impact the enemy position with an unstable foothold, the infantry is equipped with bows, crossbows, and Mo knives, and the cavalry is responsible for the assault and pursuit of the infantry after the battle. As a long-handled broadsword, the Modao advanced like a wall to strangle the enemy's frontal living force (the enemy army was often crushed under the strangulation of the Modao heavy infantry), and was the main force of the vanguard infantry group to charge into battle, and together with the horse army and the odd soldiers, it constituted the main feature of the Tang battle. From the history books, Tang Taizong's combat is very personal characteristics, the most like to choose the weak part of the enemy's formation, personally lead the cavalry charge, "the enemy is all defeated", a horse galloping in front, tens of thousands of cavalry followed closely behind the scene, today to think about, especially fascinating.

In the early Tang Dynasty, a large number of cavalry was an important guarantee for the victory of the battle, and the infantry army in the middle period of the Mo knife like a wall to advance tactics, created a glorious war history in the Tang Dynasty, and also created the myth of the Mo knife. From Wude to Tianbao, Tang was able to achieve victory in the War of the Establishment of the Kingdom and the war with the nomads who were good at cavalry and archery, and the use of the offensive weapon of the infantry, the Modao, cannot be said to have constituted one of the main reasons.

The emergence and popularization of the Mo knife is not an isolated phenomenon, it is related to the internal policy of the Tang Dynasty and the changes in the entire military situation. It can also be said that the history of the use and promotion of the Mo knife is an aspect of the history of Tang Liguo, foreign wars, and Kaitian martial arts.

Although the Tang Dynasty knife is divided into four kinds (the "Tang Liudian" records that the Tang knife system has four: one said: the instrument knife, the second said: the barrier knife, the third said: the horizontal knife, and the fourth said: the Mo knife), and among these four kinds of knives, the only weapon that can really play the role of defending the country and opening up the territory is the Mo knife.

The participation of the Modao Army in any known battle has played a decisive role, the Modao Army as a separate combat strike force in the battle sequence in the middle of the Tang Dynasty for the Tang Army's battles, the Modao is the Han nation and the nomadic people who are good at riding and archery in the war to change their own horse disadvantage, play the advantage of the infantry of the key weapon, the evolution of war weapons is actually with the development of the form of war and evolve, with the strength and decline of national strength and change.

Mo knife is also mainly used by the Tang Dynasty heavy infantry army, individual major generals use Mo knife as the main battle weapon, if Mo knife appeared in the late Han Dynasty Three Kingdoms that the magnificent era of fighting generals, it will definitely shine in the hands of famous generals.

Li Siye, a famous general of the Tang Dynasty, is a well-known Mo sword general. A strange knife slashed down in the air, and everyone died.

The poet Du Fu wrote in "Two Songs of Guan'an Xibing Passing to the Guanzhong Standby": "The strange soldiers are not in the crowd, and ten thousand horses save the Central Plains." There is no Hebei in talking and laughing, and the heart and liver are supreme. The lonely cloud follows the murderous aura, and the birds avoid the door. Stay happy every day, the city is not noisy", highly praised the Anxi soldiers who went to the country for thousands of miles, their military appearance is strict and neat, and there is no crime in the autumn, which can be called a model of the Tang Dynasty soldiers, and the leader of the five thousand Anxi soldiers is the famous general Li Siye of the Tang Dynasty, this Mo Dao will repeatedly perform miraculous feats in his life, especially in the life and death of the Anshi Rebellion, for the army, leading the Mo Dao team to "advance like a wall", invincible, and single-handedly helped up the crumbling Tang Dynasty.

Li Siye is a native of Jingzhao Gaoling, seven feet long, that is, 2.1 meters, with extraordinary strength, born to be a good embryo for practicing martial arts. The young Li Siye fought hard every time he fought, charged ahead, and was soon promoted to the captain of Zhaowu. At that time, the Mo knife was promoted in the army, which was simply a weapon prepared for Li Siye, and he quickly stood out and became a famous Mo knife general.

In the sixth year of Tianbao, Li Siye followed the then Anxi Duzhi to envoy Gao Xianzhi to the country of Xiaobolu, and in Lianyunbao, the necessary place of the Tang army, the Tubo army built fortifications and waited for the battle. Gao Xianzhi appointed Li Siye and Tian Zhen as the left and right Mo sword generals, and issued an order, "Lianyun Fort must be captured before noon, otherwise they will all die." The battle began, Li Siye took the lead, climbed the mountain from the most dangerous place, waved the sword, the enemy cried wolf, the dead bodies were everywhere, fell off the cliff, drowned in the water, and the Tang army took Lianyunbao in one fell swoop. Then take advantage of the victory to advance, go straight to the small Bolu country, capture the little Bolu king and his wife Tubo princess, the Tang army recaptured the military hegemony west and north of Kashmir, "Fu La, Da Shi Zhuhu seventy-two countries are shocked and surrendered", after returning to the army, Li Siye was promoted to the Shule town guard because of his merits, defending the border areas of the Tang Empire.
