We often see that in some film and television dramas, some **, some dramas, and some ancient classics, there will be an ancient ** such as "red tassel gun", which is called a red tassel gun, because there is a circle of red tassels fixed in front of the gun, which is called red tassel. But since it is **, then every part of the red tassel gun naturally has to be very useful, so what is this red tassel used for? Red tassel also has a name called Blood Block, do you know what it means?
The latest time for the appearance of the red tassel gun can be determined to be the Eastern Han Dynasty, and there was an ancient general who was very familiar with using the gun as the first one, Zhao Yun. Zhao Yun's ** has different names in various games of the Three Kingdoms, some are called Gentian Bright Silver Gun, and some are called White Dragon Silver Gun, although they are not the same, but they all have a common feature, that is, they are all guns. However, the techniques of the guns in this period were not perfected, and it was not perfected until Yang Ye in the Song Dynasty and even in the Yue Fei period.
Although the gun itself is a kind of classification, if it is subdivided, the gun can also be divided into many different types, such as double hook guns, single hook guns, ring guns, plain wood guns, flame guns, hook sickle guns, etc., different dynasties also have different developments. The most popular era of guns was the Song Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty, these two periods appeared a lot of complex types of guns, just looking at the name can be dazzling, the use is not the same, the applicable people are mainly infantry and cavalry.
However, guns basically have a common feature, that is, many guns have red tassels tied to them. This red tassel also has a name that can indicate its effect, called "Blood Block". Since the gun is used as a **, it is naturally equipped on the soldier to go into battle to kill the enemy, so it has the most blood. When the gun pierces the enemy's body, there will inevitably be blood coming out, and if there is nothing on the gun, then the blood will flow down the barrel of the gun and end up in the soldier's hand.
But the most important thing on the battlefield often happens in an instant, if because of blood on your hands, you don't hold the barrel of the gun, slip a little, and cause the enemy to take advantage of it, it is a very dangerous thing, and the worst end is to lose your life. Therefore, the addition of red tassels to the gun can block the flow of blood, absorb a part of the blood, and drain the blood to other places, so as to effectively reduce the blood flowing on the barrel of the gun, which is a very important improvement for war.
But the red tassel is definitely not only this function, the red tassel is red, red is a very conspicuous one of the colors, no matter where it is, it is very attractive, and the same is true on the battlefield. The constantly shaking red tassel can play a certain role in confusing the enemy, and the rapid shaking causes the fluttering of the red tassel, so that the enemy can not see clearly the direction in which the gun is about to pierce, which can not only disturb the line of sight, but also disturb the mind, the opponent's momentum is weak, and he will naturally have confidence.
A small red tassel, looks ordinary, but in fact it is also the experience of the ancients summed up from the actual combat, and then the gun was improved, we now have no way of knowing whose invention the red tassel is, but such a small invention, but contains such a profound principle, I have to admire the ancients to the extreme.
