Is “Wielding a pair of hammers, head of the Eight Great Hammers” true?

attested in history

演义中岳云以一双擂鼓瓮金锤威震敌军。事实上,History of Song, Biography of Yue Fei 附传记载岳云「每战,以手握两铁椎,重八十斤,先诸军登城」,证明历史上的岳云确实使用重型锤类兵器作为主战武器,且勇冠三军,小说中对其兵器的描写并非凭空捏造,而是基于史实的艺术夸张。

Yue Yun

A truly brave young military leader, fixed in the historical novel as the head of the Eight Great Hammers, wielding a pair of hammers.
