Video teaching of traditional cold weapon war

First, when the enemy was known, the army left the camp. When approaching the enemy or in danger of being attacked by the enemy, change from marching state to fighting state-if the camp is close to the enemy, array from the beginning. Under normal circumstances, the two armies will find their opponents at roughly the same time, so the disposal time is roughly the same. Therefore, the typical scene of ancient battles was the face-to-face confrontation between the two armies. In this state, the military density will be very high, and some will have 65,438+10,000 soldiers within 1 square kilometer. If, for some reason, one side fails to form a good formation in time, it will be attacked by the enemy, which will often have very serious consequences. But the general situation is that the two sides gradually approach, and then the shooter fires, and then the hand-to-hand combat between the two sides begins. In some cases-usually one side is eager to fight-it has entered hand-to-hand combat without shooting. This combat mode remained until1the beginning of the 9th century. Hand-to-hand combat directly determines the outcome of the battle.

Usually, better trained and equipped troops will win. Courage is also an important factor in deciding the outcome. When one side breaks through the enemy's formation and cuts off its front, usually the enemy's collapse begins. Because this means that part of the army can't command, the combat intensity is greatly reduced, which leads to another part of the adjacent army being under greater pressure from the enemy, and so on, and the whole army is wiped out. After the defeat of the ancient army, most of the casualties occurred in the stage of fleeing.

Generally speaking, the casualties of the winner are far less than those of the loser-although the real casualties in ancient wars are difficult to determine. Because of fatigue, winners often don't pursue losers, and even if they pursue them, they often aim at the enemy's command center. Therefore, it is rare that there is not even one person left, even in the war of annihilation.
