In fact, more than 10,000 people fought in the ancient cold weapon era, which was considered a big battle. Hundreds of thousands of people and millions of people fought in the Great War, and that was only after World War I and World War II had railways, trains, trucks, radios, antibiotics, modern medicine, and so on.
Much of China's history is exaggerated.
When interpreting the scale of warfare in ancient China, history books often fall into exaggerated claims, which need to be viewed soberly.
First of all, the scale of warfare in the ancient era of cold weapons was constrained by many factors such as technology and social structure.
Even in a single campaign, involving thousands of people is already a fairly large-scale military operation.
Therefore, when evaluating the scale of ancient warfare, the historical context should be taken into account.
The exaggerated rhetoric about Chinese history may stem from different interpretations of military size and demographics.
There was a great deal of uncertainty in the demographics of ancient times, and it is difficult to verify the actual size of the army in war. As a result, some descriptions may be based on historical records or legends, with a certain degree of exaggeration in concrete reality.
In order to better understand the scale of warfare in ancient times, we can delve into factors such as the social structure, military technology, and marching ability of the time.
In addition, it is necessary to conduct a comprehensive investigation from multiple historical documents and historical books to form a more objective and accurate understanding.
Throughout the course of historical evolution, the scale of warfare has gradually expanded with the development of science and technology and social structure.
The large-scale wars of World War I and World War II were waged on the basis of modern science and technology and industrialization, which was fundamentally different from the ancient era of cold weapons.
In general, we need to be cautious about the exaggerated claims about the scale of the war in Chinese history, and understand the social background and actual situation at that time to avoid being misled by the exaggeration.
