It's a complete mess.

There is a story about this situation, which is about two people going up the mountain, suddenly encountered a tiger, and one squatted on the ground and tied his shoelaces.

The other laughed at him, they all met the tiger, do you think you have outrun the tiger.

I'll be able to outrun you.

That's the truth,

You just need to run faster than your "companions".

This is the reason why the so-called rabble often does not defeat a tenth of the strong soldiers.

If it is defined as an army of the ordinary combat effectiveness level of ancient times, it is much easier to analyze. The ancient army, in most of the long history, is not a professional army, fighting a war is only their sideline is usually the occasional drill and drill peasants, in fact, the discipline and will is very poor, except for a few generals and centurions, the front row of the charge of the dead soldiers, most of them are not much stronger than the average peasant (this is why the peasant army can often hang the official army), many ordinary soldiers are afraid of death to make up the number, accustomed to fighting the wind and robbery after the war, simply unable to withstand the hard battle, the vicious battle. Most of the time, as long as the front army is defeated, the entire formation will collapse. For example, in the Battle of Weishui, when Fu Jian's 800,000 Qin army was about to retreat and give up a piece of land to fight a decisive battle with the Eastern Jin army, just because the enemy deliberately shouted "The Qin army is defeated!", before the Eastern Jin army could charge on all fronts, the entire Former Qin army collapsed.

In ancient times, there was no radio, no telegraph, there was no WeChat group chat, the command of a large army was a problem, the more people there were, the more difficult it was for the commander to command, and it was easy to have poor information communication, and then something happened, such as when there was a river, the front of the Qin army was fighting, and the army behind did not know what was going on in front, Zhu Xu's rumors quickly disturbed the heart of the former Qin army and caused a collapse Again, you have to consider the width of the battlefield, the more people, the more space you need to expand, once you can't open it, you can only fill it in a pair, then it is not a military advantage, but a queue to send people to the head。 For example, Cannae, there are many Romans, but they can't be used, they are squeezed and surrounded, and they become slaughtered in an instant. You can know this when you go to play Luo Er, you crazy lengthened the formation of a pair of oath warriors vertically, and even stretched it into a long snake formation, and then used ordinary Roman legionnaires to besiege it on all sides, and the oath can only say: Who can withstand this

On the battlefield, the cavalry will attack and divide the ranks of the infantry, disrupt the original command sequence of the infantry formation, and cause the chaos of the infantry group or even the overall loss of control.

Due to the difficulty of communication in ancient military formations, there is no WeChat and artificial intelligence, and the soldiers' field of vision is limited, which can easily cause poor information and group tension.

Because the advantage brought by the number of people in a cold weapon war is marginally decreasing, when the number of people reaches a certain level, the more it will bring about the inconvenience of command. You try to just rip your throat open, and you try to run from one side of the playground to the other, even if it's a bicycle.

Not to mention whether the order can be conveyed, once the front army collapses, the morale will collapse together with the soldiers who can't see the situation of the front army clearly, which is the so-called "defeat like a mountain". Cold weapon warfare is often very difficult to fight to the end, the front army is defeated, the defeated army may be crowded with the rear army, and the rear army soldiers may not even see it, because of the shouts of the defeated army around them, the morale is shaken, and the morale of the army is greatly disturbed.

Wang Jian looked at these people.

Although there were thousands of instructions in advance, although all the members of the mission were high-quality so-called high-level super special talents.

However, there is such a thing as military discipline.

The most important difference between an army with strict military discipline and an army with sloppy military discipline is not whether or not anyone violates discipline, but in the scope of military discipline on the behavior of military personnel (whether it is enough to "do not commit any crimes" in the autumn) and the punishment after military discipline is violated (whether it is shielded and connived).

Anyone who violates military discipline can mean that the military discipline of the army is not good. This is not right, it is an extreme view - by this standard, there will be no army with good military discipline in the world. The composition of an army comes from all aspects of society, and it is a mixture of three religions and nine streams, mud and sand, and fish and dragons. At the same time, the bloodthirsty nature of the military, a violent organization, determines that it is easy for the army to reveal the evil of distorted human nature. There is only one circumstance in which no one violates discipline at all - that is, there is no discipline at all in this army.

Military discipline is positively correlated with combat effectiveness, while ancient armies burning, killing, and looting have nothing to do with combat effectiveness. Poor military discipline is often manifested in burning, killing and looting, but its inner core is "subordinates do not obey discipline", so since soldiers will not obey military discipline for money, they will naturally disobey high-risk combat orders for the sake of life, that is, they are afraid of death and afraid of fighting tough battles, where is the combat effectiveness?

On the battlefield of cold weapons in ancient times, the two warring sides lined up in a neat military formation, impacting, squeezing, and colliding with each other. The soldiers in the front of the military formation are generally the first to bear the attack, and the casualty rate is often much higher than that of the back row, especially when the cavalry hits the military formation, the high-speed collision is even more tragic, and it is likely that the soldiers in the first few rows of both sides will all be killed, and there are often similar scenes in some realistic cold weapon war movies. The question, then, is, since they are all soldiers, why are some of them in the front? Some of them are in the back? Are they arranged according to certain principles or are they purely random? Why are the soldiers in the front willing to stand in the first row knowing the danger?

Generally speaking, due to the uneven quality of military personnel, commanders mostly put elite veterans who are well-equipped and experienced in combat in the front row. When the British fought in Afghanistan in the nineteenth century, the British discovered that the enemy was led by dozens of the most combat-ready soldiers when they charged, and the rest of the troops followed. All you need to do is concentrate your firepower to wipe out these dozens of people, and the remaining enemy forces will be scattered no matter how many they are.

Moreover, in ancient wars, bow and crossbow shooting was the norm, and there were not many opportunities for direct melee combat between the armies of both sides. When fighting, they usually use bows and crossbows to shoot from a distance, or blockade and encircle, waiting for the opponent to run out of food and grass, and will not easily engage in a head-to-head duel. In a big battle, this kind of blockade, harassment, and temptation may occupy most of the time, and the real decisive battle is very short. As a result, in most cases, the damage taken by soldiers comes primarily from ranged weapons such as bows and crossbows. Under the long-range projectile coverage of the bow and arrow, the chance of hitting the arrow is the same regardless of the front row and the back row. The front-row soldiers are usually better protected and relatively safer.

In addition, the military formation often changes the formation according to the actual needs in the battle, for example, the Roman legion is divided into three lines of horizontal columns, alternately fighting according to the battlefield situation, the ancient cavalry is also divided into many squads to take turns to impact when impacting, and it is rare to rely on the same group of people to put the whole field in the front row, after all, people and horses have to rest in continuous combat. From this point of view, everyone's chances of survival are equal, and since it's their turn, they don't have any complaints.

And usually, an elite unit that has won many victories has a strong confidence in defeating the enemy, and some of the famous arms in the history of warfare that are good at frontal confrontation, such as the Macedonian phalanx, the Swiss phalanx, etc., have never lost in a head-on collision with the enemy for most of their careers, and have even produced extremely disparities in casualties. Countless experiences have convinced them that as long as they maintain a neat formation and never waver, the final defeat must be the enemy, and in this case there is naturally no reason to escape.

There are three types of warfare: calculated warfare, sacrificial warfare, and confused warfare. If the enemy is also very strong after the fight, and the two sides are evenly matched, it is probably equivalent to the desperate battle that Qi Jiguang said. In this case, experienced veterans understand that they can only hold on, and once they can't hold on, they will collapse first, and the only end will be unilaterally slaughtered by the enemy.

Of course, all of the above are professional armies that can get on the battlefield and kill the enemy, and are above the average level. But in countless wars of mankind, large and small, many times the protagonists of the wars are amateurs with no combat experience. They can't accurately predict the outcome of a war, and may judge the contrast between enemy and enemy forces only from the comparison of numbers, but vision can sometimes deceive people, and the so-called allusion to the grass and trees is exactly this truth, and generals who are good at using troops often take advantage of this.

Elite troops are not innate, so how can we build ordinary troops into elite troops? Moreover, it is human nature to be afraid of death, and if elite veterans are faced with a situation of certain death, they may also weigh the pros and cons and have the idea of escaping. How can we firmly restrain soldiers in the forefront of the military formation? In the final analysis, it is necessary to rely on strict military discipline. The so-called strict military discipline is nothing more than generous rewards and heavy punishments.

What really makes soldiers dare not leave their posts without permission under any circumstances is the harsh military law. The military law of the Song Dynasty stipulates that "when you are in battle, you are not the main general, and those who leave the team first will be beheaded." The military law of the Qi family in the Ming Dynasty stipulated, "If a person retreats first against the enemy, he will be beheaded." If the first commander does not retreat and the soldiers retreat, and dies, the family of the first commander will be compassionate and the remaining soldiers will be beheaded. "In this case, if you escape, you will basically die, and there is still a chance of survival in despair, even if you die, your family can still get a generous pension, after all, everyone will calculate this account.

All in all, under the stimulus and constraints of generous rewards and strict military laws, soldiers can only obey military orders absolutely on the battlefield, no matter what position they are placed in. Those who survived the harsh test of war gradually became experienced elite soldiers. Ordinary battles could not shake them in the slightest, and even if they encountered a strong enemy army, they could only grit their teeth and persevere to the end until one side's will to fight completely collapsed. Therefore, the most likely situation in ancient wars was that one side fought more smoothly, because the defeated side always had to use relatively rookie new troops against the victorious side's already experienced veterans. The result is only to increase their experience and morale, as well as their confidence. Of course, if a strong army suffers heavy casualties in a certain battle, it is easy to collapse, because the core of the backbone veterans who can stand in the first row is gone......

In ancient times, battles were fought in phalanxes, and the enemy was very limited, and the soldiers behind did not necessarily have the opportunity to fight. If the former army collapses, such as the Qin army at the Battle of Feishui, there will be a large number of deaths caused by stampede. So there are a lot of battles in history where less wins more. Soldiers are more valuable than many.

The most feared thing about the cold weapon battlefield is the collapse of the army's heart, once there is a rout and the whole army will collapse again, so you often see the supervision team, the military law team or something, just to prevent the rout in the first time, and exterminate it in the embryonic stage, but unfortunately it often does not have much effect, the restriction on the rout is only for a while, when the formation is broken, the command is broken, it is bound to be the collapse of the whole army, no matter how you stop it, it will be useless (the supervision team or something does not have such a professional team on the real battlefield).

These people are all rabble, no matter how well-trained, even if the value of the equipment on their bodies is cherished, they kill ordinary soldiers.

There is a lack of military discipline and no one can manage it effectively.

The army had either a gendarme and a commissar, or a sergeant major.

If a group of guys who are simply ordinary people, who cares about them?

How many civil servants?

These sons are shouting and yelling, claiming that their father is who, who is it, which of you dares to care about me, why don't you hurry up and lead the way, let me go first?

Leaving Long Yifei's suppression, someone was ready to move.

If at this time, someone comes first and kills the guy who runs away first, then the order may not collapse so much.

But no.

Order is first of all a system, a relatively closed system, once the system is formed, it presents relative stability and balance on the macro level, although the elements within the order are still constantly interacting, and the situation of each element is constantly changing, but as the order itself is relatively stable, this dynamic equilibrium has been maintained until the interaction between the elements within the order has become so strong that their respective situations have fundamentally changed, and the order will change accordingly. Order is made up of internal elements, including individuals and other individuals and individual collections, which refer not only to the system composed of individuals, but also to the environment in which all other beings are composed. The cause of order is the interaction between the individual and the being outside the individual. If the individual is not connected to the existence outside the individual, there will be no interaction and change.

In fact, in ancient and modern times, the weak have never had room to live, and the vast majority of those who died in the catastrophe were the weak (civilians), in that distant era, the weak were never considered people, they were just tools, tools used in production or war, even if the emperor wanted to respect Confucianism and Confucius, it was also a game of politics, and life was at stake, who would talk about benevolence and love for others? And the weak began to have dignity, the need to exist, and the need to be taken care of, that is only in modern times there is thought, that is also political,

And among the weak, there will still be some people who can steal life, these people are generally called rats, they can survive in the mortal realm, how can they not be strong.

People and society are like pebbles under the water, accumulating over time, imperceptibly, and slowly being worn into roundness, but this does not change the essence of stones. When young people first enter society, they seem out of place, frustrated everywhere, and therefore doubt life. But in the end, there will always be something of its own that is retained, even if it is a pebble. Everyone has just learned to disguise, hide, beautify themselves, and at the same time bring a protective color to themselves. The process of human growth constantly returns to firewood, rice, oil and salt, and three meals a day.
