I love Chinese action films, especially Kung Fu movies! A great movie just came out on demand called “Films of Fury” and it has some really cool fight scenes and movie clips!
@TheFucker55 yeah, since song dynasty, from fire rockets and cannons up to arquebus. by the time of this battle the chinese guns started to b outdated by the european counterparts. it was during 17-18th century that armors were obsolete but bows are still used as they are advanced enough to penetrate brigandine armor too.
thats your observation,yes china has been around for many many many omfg so many manys centuries, that yes they might have been or are,thats up for debate though because from my perspective my military is the most honorable and if we asked someone from a completely different nation from both of ours they would say their army is the most honorable,so its just a matter of your own opinion.
@UighurKnight Wow, racist prick. Do trolls like you have to go on EVERY Chinese video? And if you had the SLIGHTEST of knowledge of the movie OR Chinese history, you would know this isn't the invasion of the Ming. This is the Taiping rebellion, when christian fanatics tried to overthrow the Qing. Most of the soldiers in the Qing army by then were Han Chinese, by the way.
"christian fanatics tried to overthrow the Qing. "
Hhahah, oy, Qing was not a Chinese empire, you fucked by Manchus at that time, so You didn't wanted to try Chritians huh? What's is the difference between A or B if both of them wanna fuck you? hahhahahahhahahhahahahha.
@UighurKnight heh. You're real mature now. And the Qing was founded by the Manchu, but that doesn't mean it's not Chinese. They never called themselves the ''Manchu empire'' They called themselves the Middle Kingdom, and adopted all ways of the Han Chinese with the exception of hairstyle and clothing. And you really are just bringing random things up now. You said this shows how hard they fuck the Chinese, but now you say they are both not Chinese. Get a life.
So they were Manchus, and "adopted" Chinese way of life. ok You know How many Chinese were killed by the Manchu Empire (Man Qing Di Guo)? Do you know there was a rank of ethnic superiority during the Manchu Empire? Do you know Manchus were number one, Zhuangs are Number two and Han were the Number in the rank? So why don't Indians call the British invasion as Indian Bing Dynasty? Because Indians have logic, you guys..... puuuuuuuuuuuuuf.
@UighurKnight I guess you never heard of Zhonghua minzu? That was made during the Qing that said that Hans, Manchus, Tibetans, and a few others were all united and equal. Don't make up shit. I agree there was a rank of ethnic superiority during the Yuan, however. And every Chinese empire had people killed. In fact, every nation killed people. And like I said before, the Manchus called themselves China, not Manchu empire. Their emperor was the ''son of heaven'' a Han Chinese concept.
@UighurKnight (continued) Your indian example is invalid. British people did not take up Indian religion, culture, and language, however the Manchu took up Han language, culture, religion, philosophy, etc.
So what you are saying here is Qing dynasty is a Chinese empire because they adopted Chinese script and culture. So can we say Yuan dynasty is a Uighur empire, since Mongols adopted Uighur script and our religion - Islam? So if you claim that Tibet was a part of China because Qing dynasty was a Chinese empire, then can we say China should be part of the Uighur country since so-called Yuan dynasty was a Mongol empire in which 7 of every 8 soldiers and generals were Uighurs?
@UighurKnight No, the Yuan ALSO adopted Chinese culture, not Uighur. They didn't even OWN Uighur. the Chagatai khanate did. Learn your facts before trolling. You can call the Chagatai khanate an Uighur empire if they adopted your culture and called themselves an Uighur empire. The official religion of the Yuan was Buddhism, by the way, and their script was Chinese and Mongolian.
If I can say Chagatai Kaganate adopted the Uighur culture, script and religion. Then "Xinjiang was a part of China during the Yuan Dynasty" is a shit right?
@UighurKnight There IS no statemnet that Xinjiang was part of China during the Yuan. There is, however controversy about TIBET under Yuan. Xinjiang was part of China during the Han, Tang, and Qing dynasties. Get your facts right, dumbshit. You don't even know your own history. What a disgrace. It's cute because this started as an argument of Manchu and Han identity, then turned into a separatist argument for Xinjiang. You separatist extremists are fags. Don't expect further response from me.
History? lol, U r saying contradictory of your communist shit government says. They say "Xinjiang" has been a part of China SINCE Han dynasty. Which is of course bullshit. Han and Manchu? hehe, so How about the Chinese killed by Manchus? If Manchus had accepted all Chinese shit then why did Chinese killed Manchus after the Xinhai revolution? Can you give me the number of those Manchus who were massacred? Also, why did Guomindang ban Manchu identity if they had already been Chinese?
@UighurKnight xinjiang has been a vassal state and a autonomous state for millenia in chinese historic dynasties. so practically they are a chinese state. and so you know, uighurs were buddhists up to the end of mongol dynasties. uighur muslim conversions were quite recent.
it was the japanese occupation that eradicated manchu culture and identity and the chinese were trying to revive it. it seems that you put every blame to the chinese especially.
@UighurKnight manchu is just an identity created by a coalition of nomadic chinese, jurchens & mongols. by the time of the xinhai revolution, it's depicted as a ruling class. if ur han chinese and have a qing official post, ur branded as manchu, simple as that.
the que and clothing is enforced to death penalty by a han chinese official to eradicate ethnic tensions between "han" chinese, mongols and manchus in general. and to make every one a "chinese".

Sorry to interupt your disputes about which asian army was stronger with 2500 year old news from Europe :-) about 300 heroes which will NEVER EVER be surpased.
300+700 holded ground against 200.000 for 3-7 days... which asian army done same? ,-)
watch?v=-mNPPtyOxyg
So you see, this childish quarrels are pointless... lets trade and live instead of new wars, cos lots of people usually die in them without any point... .
@prolamer7 actually, there is. Except it was like 100 song against like 20000 jin (2 different parts of china). the 100 held a bridge long enough to delay the jin army, and at the end, only the commander was left, but he kept on fighting. eventually, after almost 5 min of shooting arrows at him, they brought him down. They later on burned the body to find that there were almost a 100 arrow heads in his body.
@darkzxcb70 sure sure, but before spreding that further as historical fact i advise take 1-2 shoots by proper arrow to star understand simple fact that what you are saying is impossible :-) no matter how good trained you are and therefore it is just legend.
On other hand i give you that Jet-Li is/was propably best martial art actor, becouse he in fact can really fight even if he is kinda old now, but honestly his earlyer films were much better even in terms of storyline... ie Fist of Legend.
medieval Chinese paper armour was made to stop arrows, while eliminating the shortcomings of metal armour. The idea has been tested in modern times and confirmed to work.
with rudimentary equipment, a smaller force can hold a chokepoint against a conscripted slave army. most of what you and everybody else things about thermopylae is probably from that movie, yes? 300 was really historically inaccurate... there were actually around 7000 greeks there, before leonidas sent back the rest of his forces after he knew he was being flanked.
asian military? under yi sun shin. 13 ships against 333. European historians compare him to Nelson.
@nyipnyop It's the Qing Dynasty against Taiping rebels. (The Taiping rebels were Chinese Christians who wanted to overthrow the Qing.) I'm not sure when exactly this scene is set, but the Taiping rebellion lasted from about 1850 to 1864. Hope that's cleared it up.
Ok, I have a question here, I hope someone can answer it. I know that the Chinese were great with stratagy there are 7 major books on this topic even donald trumps favorate "the art of war". Why then in the late 1800s did the empireor send 150 boys to the U.S. to school in hopes of geting them into west point and anniapolis. Why would he want to do this when they studied napolion at west point and napolion thought chinese were great with stratgy after he read the art of war in 1803???
@corm1000 im supposing your talking about Napolean, not Napolion. The French dude right? Anyways, sure western styles appreciate and learn the Chinese warfare stratigies, but that doesn't mean they follow it 100% time. They also developed their own strats, so basically westerners knew the best of both worlds. The emperor probably wanted his country to be skilled in both western style and eastern style battles.
whats this with koreans and chinese? like we should be blaming the japs, they invaded both china AND korea, i mean i feel sorry for them, but the way history sees it, its the japs fault
@chonge really? wow. They seem to be using very outdated weapons and tactics. even for the mid 19th century, this looks like it could take place in the 17th century...
Well at this point of time, China was still undergoing self-strengthening, a modernisation process that was spurred on in their defeats by the British and French. But yeah, their tactics and weaponry was quite outdated.
If your not on here to argue why China, Korea and Japan should become friends, then your ironically being shameful, disgraceful and dishonourable. Spare me the "they did this and they did that" ALL NATIONS DO BAD THINGS. All nations do good things. Were all human.
an enterprising chinese alchemist could of lived in manchuria...we don't know who the man is...to this very day...or his name...but lived during the tang dynasty and as far as we know if a hispanic american invented something in america...of course it is a american invention doesn't matter if he live in somewhere else that could be full of hispanics. Then historians in the future will probably argue that it could be a hispanic invention...not american...get the point?
can't chinese and koreans get along? get rid of this stupid childish rivalry and hatred...Korea and China pretty much worked together for thousands of years with a bond of blood and fought against common enemies. Even though we had wars against each other in the past...because of politics...but chinese and koreans had accomplish things that symbolizes our friendship
This is retarded, Chinese would not fight like this, it is against tactics as outlined in The Art of War by Sun Tzu circa 2,500BC First tactic is the tao of deceit, why would they line up european style against a superior force? It's a good thing for the europeans that the Chinese consider their land the World or they would have made mincemeat out of the romans for by 180BC the Chinese had trigger mechanisms for bows thereby making them into our equivalent of the sawed off shotgun, LMFAO!
@sk8RAS maybe true but the chinese are too dumb back then to think ahead of the future. europeans and japanese think ahead. the future. where u chinks lack.
Wow fierece debate lol, while its true the Chinese were not always good neighbours but they SOMETIMES were good neighbours. They sent troops to help Korea in the Imjin war and from a communist perspective, they also helped Korea in the 1950's.
yeah korean are bunch of losers. ur country is split by chinese and americans. fuking south koreans if u dogs dont keep quite we gona tell the north koreans to nuke u HAHAHA
Well, History101: by the middle of 17 centuries, the Ming (Han Chinese Empire) had many pure musketeer and gun regiments. However, pure firearm troops still could not stand before the massive light cavalries of Manchus at that time. Plus massive famines in China caused by the little ice age of early 1600s, the Ming Empire was ended by Manchus. Manchus were just nomads. They felts firearms were threaten to their horseman traditions. They banned and punished all attempts of firearm innovation.
@OrsinoDuke base on what l know, the musket with bayonet did well against cavalry in napoleon war and imjin war. why did it fail when it ran into manchu cavalry?
@loveryoda napoleon war was in 1800s and it is not a good example to compare with wars of 1600s. And for the case of imjin war, no sides used cavalry in large scales. Ming had some 8,000 cavalry men, and was proven very effective at fighting with Japanese musketeers. It was proven that no Japanese army could fight Li Rusong's cavalry in regular circumstance. Li's 7,000 cavalries was ambushed by 35,000 Japanese in a muddy field, Japanese still had extreme difficulties to handle those horsemen.
@OrsinoDuke you are right. korean didn't use large scale cavalry in imjin war. napoleon war is almost 200 years apart. how about japanese Nagashino war? it is around 1600s, and one side did use mass number of cavalry in battle.
the guys with the hats that jet li and fighting for are the qin army. but the other guys with the guns are the rebels that believe in christianity. most of them were farmers and other christians. whoever was a christian in their country that time was considered a rebel or traitor
You all are fucken IDIOts. Britain was not the only WORLD power at this time. SPain was also another world power at this time and had the most powerful Navy of all. They had already by then conquered almost half of the world. Every island in the pacific during this time had already been touched and colonized by the Spainards. Please do your history again. The British folks failed to do such thing except for India only.
@Jake4595 I believe the ranks of the musket armed troops were shifting, giving the impression that they were firing faster to an observer. THis was also a common western tactic, maximizing the amount of lead being shot at the enemy. Just a thought on the matter.
hey,man, it's a war about Qing army repressing Taiping Rebellion, and the Taiping army was a group of han people (farmers mostly) who believe in christianity. The uniform of Taiping army in movie is quite credible if you check out some drawings or even some real piecies left in museums.
You are correct. I stand corrected. It was a dreadful time in the history of the Chinese that they had the first of many civil wars.
Only when the Commies won then the uprisings stopped. But by playing the Taiwanese against the Mainlanders, or the Tibetans, the Hong Kong Cantonese etc, future uprisings may be fermented.
A strong,aggressive and again assertive imperial China that would dare challenge American imperial power in the Pacific is most fearful to many
The Manchus conquered China when the Ming Dynasty was rived with corruption at its centers of power and the ordinary people were taxed to exhaustion and even death.
In many areas, Han Chinese actually welcomed the Manchu conquerors because they reckoned they could survived under them!
The Manchus here charged the Ming troops and suffered heavy casualties in face of better technology & fire power. The Ming commander was also a formidable and respected soldier.
the han Chinese citizen didn't welcome the Manchu,, it was the Ming Government itself who open up the door let the Manchu into China because the Ming want Manchu to clean up the mess!
To CommanderUTube: Have you seen the movie? This battle is not Manchus against the Ming, its a battle between 2 divisions of the Manchus Qing armies. Both armies are Qing one were better arm then the other. Oh plus the Han citizen did not open the door to the Manchus, they open it for a rebel troops who were trying to over throw the Ming. But they were no better and they were the ones who lost to the Manchus. Get your facts right b4 u make comments.
i wonder if you really watched this movie, or maybe you didn't get it at all. what a failure to the producer. it's not about two divisions of Qing army. it's a repression to the Taiping rebelling.
Are there any decent ancient Chinese era movies without the insulting crappery of "kung fu"? Kind of like an Alexander or Gladiator but with a Chinese setting.
It would be boring then. think of it this way, all of the Kung Fu fighting bad asses in Chinese films are Generals, and in this case a warlord. The grand leaders don't really do Kung Fu this well. In the 3 Kindom saga, all of the 3 main kings are not that great with Kung Fu compare to the generals. P.S. Gladiator was a martial art film too, and it was fictional where as this one is a glamorised non fictional story, its all the same.

can't chinese and koreans get along? get rid of this stupid childish rivalry and hatred...Korea and China pretty much worked together for thousands of years with a bond of blood and fought against common enemies. Even though we had wars against each other in the past...because of politics...but chinese and koreans had accomplish things that symbolizes our friendship

This is retarded, Chinese would not fight like this, it is against tactics as outlined in The Art of War by Sun Tzu circa 2,500BC First tactic is the tao of deceit, why would they line up european style against a superior force? It's a good thing for the europeans that the Chinese consider their land the World or they would have made mincemeat out of the romans for by 180BC the Chinese had trigger mechanisms for bows thereby making them into our equivalent of the sawed off shotgun, LMFAO!

Wow fierece debate lol, while its true the Chinese were not always good neighbours but they SOMETIMES were good neighbours. They sent troops to help Korea in the Imjin war and from a communist perspective, they also helped Korea in the 1950's.

Well, History101: by the middle of 17 centuries, the Ming (Han Chinese Empire) had many pure musketeer and gun regiments. However, pure firearm troops still could not stand before the massive light cavalries of Manchus at that time. Plus massive famines in China caused by the little ice age of early 1600s, the Ming Empire was ended by Manchus. Manchus were just nomads. They felts firearms were threaten to their horseman traditions. They banned and punished all attempts of firearm innovation.

@OrsinoDuke base on what l know, the musket with bayonet did well against cavalry in napoleon war and imjin war. why did it fail when it ran into manchu cavalry?
loveryoda 1 year ago
@loveryoda napoleon war was in 1800s and it is not a good example to compare with wars of 1600s. And for the case of imjin war, no sides used cavalry in large scales. Ming had some 8,000 cavalry men, and was proven very effective at fighting with Japanese musketeers. It was proven that no Japanese army could fight Li Rusong's cavalry in regular circumstance. Li's 7,000 cavalries was ambushed by 35,000 Japanese in a muddy field, Japanese still had extreme difficulties to handle those horsemen.
OrsinoDuke 1 year ago
@OrsinoDuke you are right. korean didn't use large scale cavalry in imjin war. napoleon war is almost 200 years apart. how about japanese Nagashino war? it is around 1600s, and one side did use mass number of cavalry in battle.
loveryoda 1 year ago
@loveryoda
They did use cavalry, in imjin war. LOL And also naval forces which was more advanced than Chiense and Japanese of course.

You all are fucken IDIOts. Britain was not the only WORLD power at this time. SPain was also another world power at this time and had the most powerful Navy of all. They had already by then conquered almost half of the world. Every island in the pacific during this time had already been touched and colonized by the Spainards. Please do your history again. The British folks failed to do such thing except for India only.

is it me or does the muskets seems to reload much faster and can penetrate through the shield then the armor and still kill the troop??
Jake4595 1 year ago
@Jake4595 I believe the ranks of the musket armed troops were shifting, giving the impression that they were firing faster to an observer. THis was also a common western tactic, maximizing the amount of lead being shot at the enemy. Just a thought on the matter.

If what you say is true, then why one side donned the Ming uniforms?
Maybe the Producer ought to be sacked for getting the facts wrong.
Are you saying the Manchus never conquered China? Are you still living in a Ming China?Wow
CommanderUTube 2 years ago
hey,man, it's a war about Qing army repressing Taiping Rebellion, and the Taiping army was a group of han people (farmers mostly) who believe in christianity. The uniform of Taiping army in movie is quite credible if you check out some drawings or even some real piecies left in museums.
wintercocooo 2 years ago
You are correct. I stand corrected. It was a dreadful time in the history of the Chinese that they had the first of many civil wars.
Only when the Commies won then the uprisings stopped. But by playing the Taiwanese against the Mainlanders, or the Tibetans, the Hong Kong Cantonese etc, future uprisings may be fermented.
A strong,aggressive and again assertive imperial China that would dare challenge American imperial power in the Pacific is most fearful to many

The Manchus conquered China when the Ming Dynasty was rived with corruption at its centers of power and the ordinary people were taxed to exhaustion and even death.
In many areas, Han Chinese actually welcomed the Manchu conquerors because they reckoned they could survived under them!
The Manchus here charged the Ming troops and suffered heavy casualties in face of better technology & fire power. The Ming commander was also a formidable and respected soldier.
Better luck next time. Not today
CommanderUTube 2 years ago
the han Chinese citizen didn't welcome the Manchu,, it was the Ming Government itself who open up the door let the Manchu into China because the Ming want Manchu to clean up the mess!
codeagent47 2 years ago
To CommanderUTube: Have you seen the movie? This battle is not Manchus against the Ming, its a battle between 2 divisions of the Manchus Qing armies. Both armies are Qing one were better arm then the other. Oh plus the Han citizen did not open the door to the Manchus, they open it for a rebel troops who were trying to over throw the Ming. But they were no better and they were the ones who lost to the Manchus. Get your facts right b4 u make comments.

It would be boring then. think of it this way, all of the Kung Fu fighting bad asses in Chinese films are Generals, and in this case a warlord. The grand leaders don't really do Kung Fu this well. In the 3 Kindom saga, all of the 3 main kings are not that great with Kung Fu compare to the generals. P.S. Gladiator was a martial art film too, and it was fictional where as this one is a glamorised non fictional story, its all the same.
