Someone asked, in ancient times, when the opposing military commander went out of the city to face one-on-one battles, why didn't he shoot directly with a bow and arrow? Here's a detailed introduction to the reasons.

First of all, in ancient times, when fighting, the military commanders of both sides would fight one-on-one before the battle began. This kind of thing did happen. Everyone should have seen this scene in various film and television dramas. When fighting, the two sides set their positions, and one side will definitely come out and ask the other who dares to fight in the first world war. If someone comes out to fight, the two sides will go to war and the morale of the victorious side will rise sharply. At this time, they will attack directly.

This kind of thing did happen in ancient times, but it only happened in the Spring and Autumn Period and before. At that time, people paid attention to the behavior of a gentleman. In that period of history, people actually didn't fight to destroy the enemy, but to make the other side yield. Generally speaking, it is an honor to choose the nobles on both sides. After the Spring and Autumn Period, this kind of thing naturally disappeared. No one is stupid enough to fight one-on-one. Very few in real history.

As the saying goes, money is easy to get, but generals are hard to find. A good general is more important than a large number of troops. If one person is killed, it will be a big loss. If the strength of the two sides is different, the strong side will definitely not take the toilet. Obviously, it is too strong to take the risk.

Then someone wants to ask, if the two sides really want to fight one-on-one, why didn't anyone attack them with bows and arrows and kill them directly? The two sides generally don't fight one-on-one If they fight one-on-one, it must be the consensus of both sides. If one side puts an arrow behind his back, it is the wind of a gentleman.

One-on-one combat of ancient generals was a part of military salute, which was very sacred to the ancients. It will never be ambushed. It would be a shame if you were ambushed. Besides, the two sides are fighting side by side. Who is sure to shoot the enemy generals directly? In the history of China, there are less than 100 records about general's one-on-one hit. In ancient times, there was basically no one-on-one battle between the generals of both sides. Don't be misled by various film and television dramas.
