In the face of absolute strength, any conspiracy and trickery pale in comparison. This underscores the importance of force, as countering violence with violence is always an effective means of suppressing the enemy.
While not all situations apply, in most cases, strong combat power often leads to victory. Especially in the feudal era, imperial power surpassed human rights, the system was indestructible, and force was the key to victory.
In feudal society, imperial power was regarded as supreme, and the common people were full of awe and fear of it. This is because imperial power is considered to be the basic norm of people's lives, and even a necessary condition for survival.
The reason why imperial power can override human rights is that in feudal society, the people must look up to the supreme imperial power, and the state and the people are mutually successful.
In ancient warfare, although the importance of numbers was self-evident, the key factors that really determined victory or defeat were bravery and determination. In film and television dramas, we can see that when the enemy and us face each other in the air, there will be warriors on either side rushing to the forefront, they use their shields to resist the enemy's attacks, ready to charge.
While these soldiers may be able to make a lasting impression in people's minds, they are likely to be among the first to die in a real war environment. However, the question that arises is that the human survival instinct makes people want to live, so will these soldiers really have no scruples in the face of brutal war?
We often think that serving the country and the people is a noble sentiment, but in fact it is not. People are afraid of death, and soldiers are no exception. They are not invincible and naturally fear death.
Even if they know that they may die if they rush forward, they will still dedicate themselves to the country and the people without hesitation. In fact, there are deep reasons for this selfless behavior. First, the hierarchical system and class division of ancient society were too clear and strict.
Desertion is despicable in any era, both in modern warfare and in the feudal era, where integrity and loyalty were valued. Once you become a deserter, you may face the condemnation and psychological pressure of the entire family, and even be suppressed by the imperial power for a long time.
In this case, the soldiers who join the army will naturally be more cautious and will not dare to be deserters easily. In addition, there were multiple overseers within the ancient army, who would closely monitor the internal situation of the army, and it was difficult for deserters to escape their surveillance.
Therefore, deserters are not an easy role to play.
It is self-evident that if a country's army is large and full of hot-blooded men, if they choose to flee because of the fear of the battlefield, the morale before the war will be greatly damaged.
Therefore, in order to prevent this from happening, we need to cut off the soldiers' desire to flee at the source, and at the same time, we need to use coercive measures to deter them, so that we can effectively manage the army.
This is an effective way to manage the army. As for the soldiers in the first platoon, most of them are not recruits, they have a lot of battlefield experience, and some even joined the army because of poverty, just to solve the problem of food and clothing.
In the context of the battlefield, it is especially important to understand the basics. Only by knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can one win all battles. Flexibility and surprise tactics are the keys to victory.
Only the combination of numbers and good tactics can achieve a beautiful turnaround. However, this requires soldiers to be in awe of the army's system of dealing with deserters and to have a deep understanding of the situation on the battlefield.
Therefore, most of the soldiers who rush to the front line on the battlefield are veterans with rich experience.
Veterans undoubtedly have a very high status in the military, and they are a role that is particularly valued by superiors. In order to reduce, the imperial court usually staffed the first row of soldiers with the best and most advanced**.
In the era of cold weapons, holding a hard ** is the best magic weapon for self-defense. In the melee, although the death rate of each soldier is almost the same, in the scene of random arrows, there is a possibility that the lucky ones of the Buddha's mercy may appear, and it is also possible that they will instantly become passers-by in heaven.
However, for the soldiers of the first platoon, the dangerous point of time was only at the moment when the order to go to war was given.
The survival rate is not zero, and individual military ability has become the key to survival, making countless soldiers fight for the first row position. As long as there is a glimmer of hope, challenges on the battlefield are no longer an issue.
In order to motivate the soldiers to charge into battle, the imperial court and the Son of Heaven also provided generous treatments. As long as actions that contribute to victory are made on the front line, the imperial court will reward them accordingly.
In feudal society, the class gap was huge, the fate of the common people was determined from the moment of birth, and the opportunities to achieve class leapfrogging were extremely limited.
Many soldiers come from ordinary families and have a strong desire to change their identity, and the battlefield is an excellent platform to realize this wish. The determination to succeed if you don't succeed, coupled with the grace and power of the imperial court, made countless soldiers willing to rush to the forefront of the war and accept the baptism of fire in order to fight for a better future.
It is very difficult to change the existing class, both in modern and ancient times, so if you want to break through the class and make a leap in life, you must have an indomitable fighting spirit.
Heroism is the performance of these soldiers who have this belief and fight fearlessly to the end. Life is an unknown journey, but also a race that requires courage and fighting spirit.
Opportunities fall like raindrops, and if you are afraid of the end, you can only miss it in the end. Dare to struggle, this is the eternal truth, which makes people think deeply. Withdrawing from fear, success will only pass us, and failure and envy will always be around.
Putting our heart and soul into it may bring us unexpected gains. This is the charm of "breaking the kettle", only after experiencing the lowest struggle, the power of ** will be stronger.
For the soldiers who are full of feelings for their family and country, they are not only for fighting, but also for a better future in the future. Therefore, we can understand why the soldiers in the first row know that they will die, but they still move forward.
After all, if it were someone else, such a choice would have been made.
