Vietnamese female warriors throughout history and their weapons since 39 AD to 1979 AD

What do you guys think of pre-20th century Vietnamese weapons?

Chinese men have been defeated, tortured, executed, chopped up alive, beheaded and humiliated in four different wars by Vietnamese women throughout history.

The first was by the Trưng sisters and their 36 female generals in 39-43 AD who defeated the Chinese in 65 strongholds when fighting against Han dynasty China. They recruited many female soldiers, chopped up Chinese men alive by hacking them and also beheaded Chinese men en masse until their bodies were soaked with Chinese blood.

The second was by Lady Triệu in 248 AD who won 30 battles against the Sun Wu dynasty in southern China.

The third was in 1788-1789 when the five female generals of the Tây Sơn led all female Vietnamese to defeat and massacre Chinese men in the Battles of Ngọc Hồi-Đống Đa. They also hacked Chinese men alive until their bodies were soaked in blood. One of the same Vietnamese female generals also beheaded Thai men at the Battle of Rạch Gầm-Xoài Mút in 1784 against Thailand.

The fourth was in the Sino-Vietnamese war of 1979 and the Sino-Vietnamese conflicts from 1979–1991 when all female Vietnamese militia units defeated, captured & killed many Chinese males.

All of these wars were against Han Chinese men. All these Vietnamese women generals and soldiers were trained in martial arts and weapons by their families since they were girls. They mostly used swords and spears but sometimes also were archers and used polearms.
