How did the ancients distinguish their own people when fighting?
"Soldiers, give me a rush." The soldiers fought bloody battles to defend their loved ones and their country. Regardless of their lives, they only know how to chop at the enemy with their weapons. Even the soldiers on horseback waved broadswords and struggled with the enemy. Such scenes are very common in costume TV dramas. Both sides of the battle are bravely rushing forward, but we will have some worries in our hearts. In this case, will we kill our brother by mistake? In fact, the ancients did not disturb the war, but they were very particular.

In fact, TV plays in real life are divorced from historical facts. The TV series is just to create touching scenes and show the desperate spirit of soldiers to protect their country and defend their country. Moreover, the TV series is bloody, and even if you get blood on your hands, you can't stop. This is completely inconsistent with the war in history, and the closest thing to history is the biography of Chu Qiao, in which He Xiao led the American army against the enemy, while the other side shot the American army with archers. At this time, He Xiao quickly asked the soldiers to pick up the shields in their hands to protect the safety of the US military and cover everyone's retreat. This scene is very similar to the battle in history.

Fighting in ancient times was very particular, and the soldiers in the army were strictly arranged. For example, those soldiers are responsible for the sprint, those soldiers are responsible for the cover, and who is responsible for the long-range attack. These all need to be arranged and trained. Only after strict training can soldiers be well-trained and win the battle on the battlefield. Formation is very important in battle. Only a good formation can throw the enemy into chaos and show the advantages of our own army. Therefore, formation is the most important thing in the war.

There were many military talents in ancient times, such as Sun Wu and Sun Bin. They are not only skilled in martial arts, but also familiar with Sun Tzu's Art of War, Sun Bin's Art of War and Thirty-six Plans, so they are naturally very familiar with marching and fighting.

To lead troops to fight, we should not only be familiar with the art of war, but also conduct actual combat drills on the battlefield. Because reading Sun Tzu's Art of War is just an armchair strategist, which is totally inadequate. Only when you really go to the battlefield can you find your own shortcomings and know how to improvise. A truly competent general can not only defeat many enemies with a small number of troops, but also protect the safety of soldiers to the maximum extent, so as to win every battle. This is a truly capable general.
