宋朝在人们印象里一向是个窝窝囊囊的朝代,在与辽、西夏、金、蒙古这一连串北方邻居的对抗中,很少占到便宜,不是屈辱地割地纳贡,就是连皇帝都被人家掳去。公平地讲,宋朝之所以屡战屡败,有一个很大的客观原因就是缺乏冷兵器时代最强大的武器——战马。 The Song dynasty has always been a wicked dynasty in the impression of the people. Few of the confrontations with the northern lords of the Liao, Xixia, Jin and Mongolia seldom take up cheaper places, not humiliatingly cutting off the tribute, even the emperor being captive go with. To be fair, there is a big objective reason why the Song Dynasty has failed in many battles, that is, it lacks the most powerful weapon in the era of cold weapons - the war horse.
