History vs. fiction
The Gold Spear and the Hook Sickle Spear Break the Linked Cavalry
- novel inventionXu Ning taught the Liangshan soldiers the hook sickle spear technique, thereby greatly defeating Huyan Zhuo's linked cavalry army.
The 《宋史》 contains no record of the court dispatching Huyan Zhuo to lead a large army against Liangshan, nor any account of the Song army widely employing the "linked cavalry" tactic of chaining war horses together, let alone the battle in which Xu Ning used hook sickle spears to break the linked cavalry. Chapter 056 of 《水浒传》 states: "这徐宁的金枪法、钩镰枪法,端的是天下独步。" The confrontation of hook sickle spears breaking linked cavalry is a literary fiction created by the novel absorbing military legends from various dynasties, and has nothing to do with actual historical battles.

汤隆假意失惊道:“红羊皮匣子?
汤隆道:“哥得听我说,小弟今次闻知宋公明招接四方豪杰,因此上在武冈镇拜黑旋风李逵做哥哥,投托大寨入伙。今被呼延灼用连环甲马冲阵,无计可破,是小弟献此“钩镰枪”法,只除是哥哥会使。由此定这条计:使时迁先来盗了你的甲,却教小弟赚哥哥上路,后使乐和假做李荣,过山时,下了蒙汗药,请哥哥上山来坐把交椅。”
