Analysis of #HouMinghao’s Fight Scenes Pt. 1
“People used to say that #HouMinghao couldn't pull off ruthless characters, until the moment blood stained the corner of his eye and he raised a flaming saber taller than himself, slaughtering his way through a sea of fire without leaving a single enemy standing. In that instant, I saw redemption. Today, let's break down Hou Minghao's new drama (#KeytothePhoenixHeart #雀骨).
#XiaoWuyi, the heir to Prince Jing'an, is known as the ‘Demon General.’ On the battlefield, he kills decisively and without hesitation, earning the title of a ‘hellish asura’ in the eyes of enemy forces.
Xiao Wuyi's weapon is a Flame Zhanmadao, a blazing horse-cutting saber. The zhanmadao was one of the most destructive long-handled heavy weapons in ancient China, measuring roughly 2.2 meters (7.2 feet) in length. When surrounded by enemies, its advantage lies in the principle of the longer the weapon, the greater the reach.
The opening move, sweeping across a thousand troops: When besieged from all sides, a 360° sweep is one of the most efficient techniques available to a polearm weapon user. With the added power of flames, its effectiveness is doubled. Any enemy entering this zone is cut in half with a single strike. Even heavily armored soldiers cannot withstand it.

The enemy begins using their own soldiers as cannon fodder to absorb the attacks. During the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods, this tactic was known as ‘driving conscripts to lead the charge,’ forcing frontline soldiers to act as human shields, exhausting the enemy while creating opportunities for the main force to attack.
However, the Flame Zhanmadao has a fatal limitation, its flames burn for only 3-5 minutes. The enemy continuously drags out the battle through human-shield tactics, waiting for the fire on the blade to die out. Once the flames are extinguished, the weapon's psychological intimidation factor drops by 90 percent. Without the armor-piercing effect of intense heat, ordinary shields and armor become much more effective at defending against its strikes.

The zhanmadao is large and possesses an exceptionally long blade. As Xiao Wuyi performs a continuous 720° spinning charge-up, a closed ring of fire forms around him. The enemy dares not approach recklessly.”
