Why did the ancients raise so many flags when fighting?

In the ancient battle process, strong command was needed, so what to command in the battle process needed people to think.

In ancient China, in order to effectively command the battle, the military flag was invented as a communication tool, so why did the ancient people fight without a military flag? That's because the national flag is a communication tool in wartime.

When the general waved the flag, the soldiers would come forward to kill the enemy. It is precisely because of the flag that the army can be orderly and disciplined, and there will be no panic and no signs of chaos in the war.

In ancient times, flags of various colors had different functions. The blue flag represents the need to open a road in the mountains, the red flag represents the need to stop the enemy's fire attack, the white flag represents the need to form a formation to kill the enemy, the black flag represents the water ahead, and the yellow flag represents the possibility of advancing.

Until later, the white flag also meant a truce. The yellow flag is most commonly used in the general army.

We can also see in most TV dramas that during the war, these troops were holding some flags, that is, red flags. This kind of chess piece is a signal that they have won the battle.

Another is that when there is a war at that time, the names of the main battle generals will be written on the flags, and then the people behind them will carry them.

In order to prevent their soldiers from discovering their gangs in the war. When their soldiers can't find their own team, they will quickly move closer to their own army when they see this flag.

Flags played a great role in ancient wars.
