在1544年的塞雷索萊里戰役
，法軍元帥呂蒙克跟手下說了這樣一段話：
Gentlemen, it may be there are not many here who have ever been in a Battel before, and therefore let me tell you, that if we take our Pikes by the hinder end, and right at the length of the Pike, we shall be defeated; for the Germans are more dextrous at this kind of fight than we are: but you must take your Pikes by the middle as the Swisse do, and run head-long to force and penetrate into the midst of them, and you shall see how confounded they will be。
這不證明德意志傭兵在point of pike 方面很利害嗎？你要取勝，只能靠push of pike。

只能靠push of pike取勝(X)盡可能先用其他方式取得優勢，再用push of pike收尾(O)如果是古典時代的戰爭，確實有需要用push of pike來取勝，但是16世紀的戰爭有其他手段來打，不一定要用push of pike，因為這戰術很傷本，這批訓練有素或有戰鬥經驗的部隊可能是你的家底，打完就沒了，要重新招募也要看財力，所以大多打仗是根據偵查情報來進行用多兵種協同作戰和各種戰術運用來取勝，先前版主連載的亨利拳四郎傳可以看一下XD法國將軍這段演講是要鼓舞士氣，至於有沒有效不知道。
