Axe and graupel are commonly called together, and their shapes and forms are similar. They are all wide-edged weapons used to cut things. The difference is that the tomahawk is a big axe with a wide blade and a half-moon shape, which is more used as a symbol of gift weapons or military strength; Axe is a very practical tool with a wide range of uses. According to the different methods of use, there are axe and graupel. Whoever has a hook on the back of an axe or a spear on the handle of an axe is a graupel. Axe cymbals are graceful and bold in style, which can show the majestic posture of splitting the mountain and opening the way. In ancient times, many famous historical figures used axes as their weapons. Today, I will introduce you to the top ten military commanders who used axes in history.

1. Women are good.

Fu Hao was the wife of Wu Ding in Shang Dynasty, and the first well-documented female general in China history. There are many records of Oracle Bone Inscriptions unearthed from Yin Ruins in Anyang, Henan Province.

From then on, Wu Ding became her commander-in-chief and conquered more than twenty small countries around her. Fu Hao can not only lead troops to fight, but also be the chief priest of the country. She is often appointed to preside over ceremonies such as offering sacrifices to heaven, ancestors, gods and springs, and also serves as a diviner. Shang Dynasty was a country superstitious in ghosts and gods, and the so-called "the great event of the country lies in worship and glory". Women can fight and master the power of sacrifice and divination. Maybe even the king of Wu Ding will give her three points.

2. likui jy JY

The weapon of Li Kui jy, the black whirlwind of Liangshan hero, is a hatchet.

Li Kui, the headstrong man in China's classic novel Water Margin, is the infantry captain of Liangshan 108 troops. Because of its thick black head, generous personality, frank and loyal, reckless and bellicose behavior, it is called "black whirlwind" by Jianghu people. Depth charge, infantry fighting in Liangshan, jy, Li Kui. When suitable for infantry, he often goes topless, bravely slashes people with double axes and brute force, and leans on the rattan of his comrades to protect himself from being shot by arrows. No enemy soldier dared to stop Li Kui jy's impulse, so Li Kui jy was Song Jiang's faithful helper and pawn. The weapon used by Li Kui jy is a hatchet. There is nothing special about the weapon itself, but it is heavy and strong. It is completely invincible to take this axe to cut any recalcitrant enemy!

3. Suochao

Suo Chao, a general who defected to Song Jiang's brother in China's classic novel Water Margin, was once a general of Eight Horses and a pioneer of Liangshan Army. Suochao is more than seven feet tall, with round ears, wide lips, a long beard and a group of cheeks. He is dignified and handsome. Dip it in with a long-handled golden axe. Because of his impatience, he was called a "depth bomb".

Suochao's weapon is a long-handled gold-dipping axe, that is, a

He was one of the five sons of Cao Cao in Huangxu during the Three Kingdoms period. Huang Xu first appeared in The Romance of the Three Kingdoms; Qiu called Yang Feng "anti-thief" when he went out. He looked back at the battle angrily and said, "Where is Gong Ming? He flew to Cui Yong with a big axe in one hand. Two horses met, only one horse met, and Cui Yong got off the horse. Cao Cao saw Huang Xu's bravery in the battle, praised his bravery, appreciated his martial arts, and finally took him for his own use. Huang Xu was strict in running the army, which was forbidden. At that time, armies from all walks of life gathered in great numbers, and Cao Cao's case spread to all battalions, and many soldiers went out to watch. Only Huang Xu's subordinate barracks were neat, and the soldiers stood still. Cao Cao sighed, "General Xu is like Zhou Yafu! "

The weapon used by Huang Xu is a long-handled golden-backed axe. The axe is also an ancient weapon. Used in the battle of horses and chariots, can be used to split cars. Because there is a thorn in the front of the axe, you can stab it, but it is not the same as a gun. When the spear is thrust out, the rear handle is required to touch the front handle, and the front and rear handles of the axe are simultaneously thrust out, which is called "dead handle", just like poking a stick. Because of its heavy head, the axe is mostly left handle, and sometimes it can be replaced. Axe top should not be too thick, too thick is heavy. It takes considerable arm strength to practice an axe. Because its axe is big, its blade is crescent-shaped, its top is thin, and it looks like a board, so it is also called a board axe. Huang Xu's axe once fought with prosthodontic and Guan Yu.

Step 5: succeed

Cheng, the founding general of the Tang Dynasty, was one of the twenty-four outstanding figures in Lingyange. He used a 64-pound bagua palm xuanhua axe. He is a straightforward general, coarse and fine. The trick of the stone axe is three axes:

The first axe: beheading, suddenly cutting from top to bottom with an axe. Regardless of whether the other party has attacked Cheng or not, Cheng is desperate, because he only knows these three axes, and the other party is often confused.

The second axe: ghosts pick their teeth. When the opponent parried with a cross weapon, he picked up the axe, presented it and attacked the opponent's face. Because of the speed, opponents usually use iron bridges to avoid it.

The third axe: plucking out the ear, the second horse turned around and swept the wrong one. Because the opponent is called iron bridge, it is difficult to dodge at first, so these three axes are very powerful.

Later generations often say that Cheng's three-plank axe means that it looks great. In fact, after the trick is used up, there is no stamina, which means anticlimactic.
