What are the classic siege guards in ancient times?

In ancient times, wars were very frequent. In ancient times, there were no particularly developed technologies and no guns. They relied on close combat, and there were no particularly powerful long-range weapons at that time. It takes a long time to occupy the ideal city. In this protracted war, both sides need to formulate corresponding tactics. In ancient times, whether attacking or guarding a city, there were art of war that could be referenced. Whether attacking or defending, they need to actively mobilize the morale of soldiers and ensure adequate food and grass.

First, the battle for the city In ancient times, the only way to expand one's territory was to compete for the other's city, especially in the Three Kingdoms period, when the world was divided into three points, each regime wanted to greatly expand its territory, so it sent a large number of troops to attack the other side, and the result of siege was nothing more than losing and winning. Winning will boost morale. If you lose, your own strength will be greatly damaged, and it may also cause other regimes to peep because of the decline in strength, thus heading for your own demise.

Second, when choosing to conquer a city, in addition to military strength, strategy is also very important. When attacking a city, generals usually choose to refer to the Art of War. Sun Tzu's Art of War, as a military book, records many art of war and strategies, which can play a very important guiding role in the victory of a war. In a war, in order to win this protracted war, the morale of soldiers must always be very abundant, and they must firmly believe that they can win the final victory. This is the key to success.

Third, the art of guarding the city is actually relatively easy, and the general guarding the city will formulate the corresponding guarding strategy according to Mozi's book. Because Mozi advocated self-destruction, he was still very accomplished in guarding the city. When guarding the city, the army should also prepare food and grass, because only with a rich material foundation and food foundation can soldiers be full of confidence in this protracted war, which is very important for both siege soldiers and garrison soldiers.
