It was generally used to defend fortress wall, war carts, and other field fortifications. Not really common on he battlefield, but still used quite frequently. <br /><br />At the moment I can only recall one battle during Qing-Dzungar war where Qing infantry using flail to assault a Dzungar position. 春秋戰國https://www.blogger.com/profile/14961602507085597255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1776482547357658591.post-58012470086224241062018-10-07T10:24:58.051-07:002018-10-07T10:24:58.051-07:00Hi!
