Another weapon they should've covered was something they called the chongche. . basically looked like a chariot with multiple lay planks fitted with blades out the end that was usually pulled behind the horse to move it from location to location. Primarily it was used to help push off the use of a cavalry charge from getting too close to their lines as a defensive weapon.

Interesting stuff guys. Keep it up

I'm in my 70s, my degree is Military History which interested me while I served during Vietnam, especially the stories I heard from the men who were there, I served stateside. One story was about men getting sharpened bamboo sticks stepping on traps, they went right through combat boots and another was when my chief flew a Huey over swamp like area to retrieve fallen soldiers but the Viet Cong were hiding under the bodies! I finished Ancient Egypt course last year, my favorite military battle was Battle of Pelusium where it is said by Herodotus, Cambyses knew that Egyptian worship of a cat goddess and had his men either carry a cat or paint one on their shields! When the forces met the Egyptians were too afraid to fight and lost, Cambyses lost 7,000, Egyptians over 50,000! Last month I started my course in Ancient China It is my favorite and I've studied ancient history for years! I think it's incredible, these days though, scary! Politically speaking.

They should feature some of these weapons into games set into ancient Chinese battles. Imagine Guan Yu facing off against the enemy's newest secret weapon, a dragon shaped flamethrower. Take out the enemy's "Triple Ballista" and "Hundred Burning Arrows" artillery so that our forces can storm the walled city. Beware of buried landmines and flying dragon rockets! You could even throw in some ancient Chinese "riflemen" wielding primitive "Metal Bamboo" firearms as elite infantry.

You forgot the meanest Chinese ancient weapon. EXTREME BUREAUCRACY :D

The Missile Launcher was acually an ancient Korean weapon NOT a Chinese weapon.

I'm afraid the image used on 3:13 is Korean Hwacha. I'm not sure whether Chinese had similar uniforms but as far as I know the uniform of the soldiers on the picture is the one which Korean soldiers wore. China had great firepower by then so I believe they invented weapen like 'arrow launcher' first but Korea also had good technology, so we invented Hwacha on ourselves too.

I love your videos. You guys are very informative and I love history!

The picture at 3:13 is not of a Chinese hundred missile launcher but a Korean Hwacha, developed independently from China as the chinese would not sell gunpowder to Korea. Because of this Korea developed their own gunpowder and subsequently developed rockets and the Hwacha. The main differences between the two are that while the Hwacha has independent rockets loaded into a cart, the Chinese missile launcher has a gunpowder box in which all the arrows were launched from. The rockets of a Hwacha can function separately out of the Hwacha, whereas the Chinese one could not be shot independetly and required the gunpowder box to work.

+DanielJJ I don't know what sources you have been using but all the sources I have been able to find say that the rocket arrow technology was first invented by the Chinese during the Song Dynasty and the Koreans did not get their hands on said tech. until the Joseon Dynasty when the Koreans bribed the Chinese to give them the formula for making gun powder as will as the blueprints to a rocket arrow launcher chart called the "Nest of Bees". the "Nest of Bees" is the weapon seen at 3:04, and it is from the blueprints of this weapon that the Koreans made modifications to created the Hwacha. But even then the Koreans were still behind the Chinese in rocket arrow technology as the Chinese had already invented a handheld version of the "Nest of Bees" that soldiers can carry on their back and fire 32 rocket arrows at once with, by the time the Koreans finally came up with the Hwacha. the hand-held version of the nest of Bees was featured on and episode of "Deadliest Warrior" titled "Ming VS French Musketeer" while the original push cart version of this rocket launcher was featured in a History Channel documentary which like my other source also states that is was the Koreans who adopted the rocket technology from the Chinese and not the other way around. There is a clip of this documentary here on KZread in a video titled "Ancient Chinese and Korean rocket technology demonstrated". Look it up, and precisely 3:20 in the video you will here the narrator say that " ...the gunpowder weapon (in reference to the "net of bees") invented in China soon inspired similar war machines to be developed through out Asian and the middle east" before speaking about the hwacha who they also mention is a "...development of the Chinese model..." So before you accuse the Chinese of plagiarising your Korean technology maybe you should check to see if it is in fact you who plagiarise.

Basically, the Chinese had the 'pew pew pew!' long before ted nugent was a twinkle in his daddy's eyes 😂😂😂😂 Double Chen is awesome! Great info! Thank you

It's somewhat inaccurate to say China was just minding their own business and there no wars with other countries. There were countless wars against Xiongnu and other steppe people throughout Chinese history, wars against Vietnamese and Korean kingdoms. Tang even fought against Abbasid Caliphate and Tibet in Central Asia. And Qing conquered Tibet, Mongolia and Xinjiang to expand China into its present size, so it's not like later eras were all peaceful either.

No wonder the chinese crossbow units in AoE3 shoots faster than their western counterpart.

Google says the Santa Maria was 117 feet long.

The Chinese invented bulwarks for ships making them much harder to sink

lol a ancient siege engine firing a projectile 1 mile is kinda hard to believe

awesome!

This video has lots of cool stuff and info buuuut it's also misleading a ton. For one, the "hundred arrow launcher" is just a Hwacha, one of the most recognizable Korean weapons of all time. Also I guess with regards to the massive fleets that depends on how you define China because the large fleets were fielded under Mongol rule. 🤷‍♂️

@johnsonjohnson129

Joseon (ancient Korea) and ancient China were both good at gun powder weapon especially fire rocket weapon. So it's actually hard to say some weapon was originated from which place. Some people said that missile bus was originated from Korea, but missile arrow on the bus was originated from Song dynasty (around 10th~11 century in China). However regardless of the origin, missile bus was deployed on ancient battlefield of both China and Korea, especially against Jurchen and Mongols who were descendants of all northern nomadic tribes. Although it was deployed on both places, China was the place that deployed the most number since the scale of nomadic tribe invasion towards China was much much larger than in Korea. Both China and Korea needed this weapon to counter the invasion of cavalry army on the north especially China who often faced invasion of scale up to hundred thousands of cavalry from the north.

Fyi the last image used is of indian version of the missiles called tipu missiles invented by the king tipu sultan for independence movement.

so having watched this I realised I don't know anything about China's history.
