Moreover, when the Mo Blade faced off against the long spear, the Mo Blade could also take advantage of its length to chop the spear shafts.
As General Deng Yuanjing once said during a bandit suppression, the bandits' foreign blades could sever more than ten spear shafts in a row.
And the two-handed Mo Blade, being even more powerful, easily chopped through spear shafts.
Compared to the great axe, it could stab and pierce, thus being more flexible.
Compared to short-bladed weapons like swords, it was a long-handled weapon, not only longer but also more powerful when swung with both hands.
Therefore, when regular cavalry fell from their horses, even if they wanted to draw their sidearms to resist, they usually ended up overpowered.
Of course, it had many disadvantages too.
Being able to do everything means mastering nothing, it was more complicated to use than a long spear, heavier than swords, and had weaker armor-piercing capability than great axes.
