Cutting off the head and being afraid of being counter killed, how did the soldiers on the ancient b

If you want to grab the head, it depends on whose hand is faster, in the ancient battlefield, the head of the opponent's general is actually very valuable, and you can make military merits when you return to your own barracks, so many people will still grab it.

In ancient times, soldiers on the battlefield were generally very stealthy in grabbing heads. Try not to be seen, and try to get to the edge of the battlefield. Only then can there be hope of collecting heads.

The environment in the ancient battlefield was very chaotic, and if you wanted to get the enemy's head, you had to take a lot of self-protection measures, and you had to take advantage of it when you were not prepared for it.

Ancient soldiers didn't need to grab people's heads at all, because the so-called head-snatching mainly happened in the Qin Dynasty, and what happened was because the Qin Dynasty stipulated that if someone died in battle, all the people would be buried together, unless the enemy's head was exchanged for life, so there would be a matter of cutting off the head.

Because in ancient wars, when they killed someone, they would not immediately cut off the head, they would continue to fight, and when the battlefield was cleaned, they would cut the head. At this time, many people will go to rob others of the gains of war.

When fighting, there is no time to cut off the heads one by one, only when one side is completely suppressed, there is a chance to cut off the heads of those soldiers who have no time to retreat, and after the battle, the victorious side will clean up the battlefield, and there will be a chance to pick up the head at this time.

In ancient times, when fighting, the head and military merit were linked together, and the head of the enemy killed by his own hands was the best evidence to prove his military merit, and the ancient soldiers counted their military merits according to this.

It must have been a fierce fight to get the opponent's head, and although it is victorious, it is definitely dangerous to continue to grab people's heads, so it is usually after the end of the battle to find it.

Therefore, there are many ways to grab people's heads in ancient times, and some people have to get their heads even if they don't hesitate to die, so that they can solve many difficulties for their families and make themselves a generation of famous generals. If it is said that it is only up to oneself to grab the head, it will not only delay the fighter, but also be very disadvantageous to the long-range archers, as a long-range battle, they have no leisure time to harvest the head.

Ancient generals were very powerful, so they couldn't fight in close combat, and they could use cold weapons, spears, or bows and arrows to make him unguardable, which was highly efficient in grabbing people's heads.

On the battlefield in ancient times, it was generally the two armies that formed a battle formation, and then kept a certain distance, as long as they rushed forward bravely, they could grab the head, but the difficulty was not small.

First of all, there were not so many people fighting on the battlefield in ancient times, and secondly, there were few people who could be distinguished. Like Qi Jiguang, he specially set up someone to count.

On the battlefield, they will do their best. On the premise of ensuring their own safety, they must also make contributions. So the soldiers of ancient times were very hard.

They all fought together by killing their family members and then taking their mobile phones down, all through coordinated operations, solidarity and cooperation.

In ancient times, these people were very well trained, so many times they were not afraid to give their lives for their homeland. It's great.

In ancient times, it was common to fight wars, and there were often people everywhere, but since there was war, there must be military merits. In ancient times, it was normal for men to join the army in order to be promoted to get rich and marry a wife. In ancient times, people often relied on armor to act as their own defense**, although it will be a little bulky, but it is a good ** to protect themselves.

In ancient times, there was also a one-on-one challenge for soldiers and generals, and if they defeated the opposing generals, they would be rewarded accordingly, which was also one of the things that people yearned for. And these are the ways in which this can be done for high-ranking generals. Although in ancient times, soldiers could also have life and death duels with soldiers, but generally soldiers would not compete with them, on the one hand, because of his status, on the other hand, because the profits obtained by a soldier were very low, he disdained to kill, and another point is that war is originally a matter of tying the head to the waist, so as a normal person, it is also a matter of fear of death, so the soldier will not accept the soldier's challenge just in case.

So talk about the way so many soldiers fight, and talk about the algorithm of a group of soldiers and horses. The soldiers and horses of the two sides gathered on both sides, and no one knew what would happen to them in the next second, so they were both very good at fighting. And if they kill each other after killing each other, often this kind of war with a large number of people is impossible to calculate the number of individual heads, and often in the final war death toll to settle the income of each army for distribution.

If the opponent's army has a leader or other person, you can kill him in the crowd and cut off his head, then this merit will be counted on your head, and you will often retreat after killing the opponent or pick up the head to improve your morale, which was a very common thing at the time.

The algorithm of military merit in ancient times was often only beneficial to a few people, but the situation forced it, and those who survived often had the opportunity to obtain military merit.

When cutting the head, you will be covered by your teammates, and sometimes you will use your ears, nose, etc. instead. In ancient times, military achievements were not only counted according to the capitation, and some special contributions would also have very good military achievements, such as breaking the formation, capturing the flag, breaking the city, and so on.

In ancient times, joining the army to obtain military merits was a way for ordinary people to reach the pinnacle of life, and cutting off the enemy's head was the easiest and most basic way to obtain military merits. But the battlefield is changing rapidly, and it is not possible to calmly cut off the head at any time, so this requires the help of teammates. In the Qin State, where soldiers were most keen on cutting off heads, there was such an order that a group of soldiers who died or lived in battle would be punished, and if there was a corresponding number of enemy heads, they could be exempted, which made the people in the squad cover each other.

Although it is simple and convenient to use the enemy's head to calculate military merits, it is easy to cause controversy and false reports. Although each dynasty and generation has corresponding laws and measures, it still exists to kill ordinary people and kill friendly soldiers and lie about military exploits. There are examples in history where soldiers were defeated by the enemy in order to gain the enemy's head.

And when the whole gets outstanding merit, each soldier will also be rewarded accordingly, and the integrity of the army is even better.

Qi Jiguang's army has a similar method. In the tactics invented by Qi Jiguang, there is a "tool man" in each squad. This tool man is in the safest position when fighting, and whenever a teammate kills an enemy, he will cut off the head and put it away, and in the end, everyone has a share in the military merit.

Although in other armies, there are not so many people who specialize in cutting off heads, and military merits are often shared by everyone.

It is said that Genghis Khan, in order to prevent the dead soldiers from leaving the whole corpse, allowed the person who retrieved the complete body of his comrades to inherit his wife and children.

Yes, military exploits in ancient times were calculated according to the number of heads. But it's not about cutting off your head while fighting. Because cold weapons were used in ancient times, most people would only fight one or two people on the battlefield, so they remembered their opponents, so they would cut off the enemy's head when they cleaned up the battlefield after the war.

Of course, military merit is only counted according to the head, and there are some special types of troops in ancient times, if they complete the tasks assigned by their superiors, then their team as a whole can be promoted to the title. If you cut off the head while fighting, it is done with the cooperation of the whole team, for example, 2 3 people fight the enemy in front, and the remaining 1 3 people will harvest the heads in the back.

The person who was cut off the head, his level is also very high, and there are many people who know him, if he is cut, there are many people who know, so when fighting, the soldiers cut off the head, and the people around him also admire it.

No, the first military industry is the head of the general, and the killing of the opposing general in front of the battle is the military industry according to the head and the officer of the opposing general, and the contribution to the army in peacetime.

When ancient soldiers killed the enemy, they needed to record the number of heads and the number of enemies killed to record the merits of the battle, so after they ended the battle, they grabbed the heads of the fallen enemy soldiers and recorded the merits.

This is actually related to military merit, and when ancient dynasties launched wars, they would set up a certain reward system, and soldiers would achieve their own rewards in this way. Brutal killings on the battlefield.

In the ancient battlefield, many soldiers would grab the heads of the enemy in order to get rewards, not only in exchange for money but also for military merits, many of them were competing with each other, as long as they encountered it, they quickly killed their heads and put them on their waists.

Yes, military merit is counted only by head. It depends on the personal wisdom and reflexes of the soldiers.

1. The 20th grade military merit system

It can be said that in ancient times, in addition to studying to gain fame, you could also go to the battlefield to fight to win military merits, so as to have the opportunity to become an official and become a knight. During the Warring States Period, in order to stimulate the morale of the soldiers and improve the comprehensive combat strength of the army, Shang Ying thought for a long time that if he wanted to improve the combat capability of the army, he had to carry out reformsAmong them, the Shang Yang transformation method is the most recognized by soldiers is that the number of beheadings is equal to military merit, and you can do whatever position you can do if you kill as many enemies, and it is also known as the 20-level military merit system in history.

According to the historical records: "The Qin people donated armor to the enemy, carrying the head on the left and the captive on the right." It vividly describes the appearance of the Qin army bare-chested, carrying a human head in his left hand and a prisoner in his right hand, fighting bravely to kill the enemy.

However, while beheading meritorious service, there is also an assessment process and many taboos. In addition, acts such as beheading, capturing the flag, ascending first, and breaking the formation all belong to the category of military merits, and in comparison, beheading is just an ordinary military merit.

Second, there are strict requirements for the assessment of military merits

Maybe some friends will think, then just kill people, you can get military merits, you think too much, Shang Ying is not so stupid, he has strict rules, every time you go to the battlefield, 5 soldiers are a small team, to protect each other, if one hangs, the other 4 people will be punished, if you hang 2 to 3 people, you will have to increase the punishment, but there is also a humane provision, this squad has a team member hanging, you can use the enemy's head to compensate, so that you will not be punished for this squad. Therefore, if ordinary soldiers want military merits, they must work hard to protect their teammates and kill more enemies at the same time, so that they can have a chance to get military merits.

But for officers, it's not simply killing people to protect teammates in exchange for military merit, the assessment coefficient of officers is even higher, let's put it simply, if you go to the battlefield and you manage the army and don't kill a single enemy, then you will come back is a dead end. But if you manage more than 33 troops, then congratulations, you can rise to the rank of knight in the original officer base.

In ancient times, they fought hand-to-hand combat, usually in small groups of several people, and they would besiege some of the enemies. After fighting each other, they will immediately cut off each other's heads. At the same time, there has also been a phenomenon of grabbing the first rank, in addition to using the first level to calculate military merits, there are also those who cut off their ears and noses to calculate military merits.

It's not to cut the head, it's to cut the ear, and the number of ears is used to calculate the military industry, if there is nothing to prove, it is easy to be mistakenly claimed.

It is not necessarily the head, it is generally the left ear of the enemy army instead of the head count, and the Western Xia also used the nose to replace the head. In ancient times, it was generally a small team of five people, and it was completely possible for one person to cut off his ears and the others to be on guard.

When Qin Shang changed the law, he engaged in the military merit system. The upgrade of the first eight levels is to kill an enemy on the battlefield and bring the head (head) back to upgrade by one level. Because you can upgrade a "level" by spelling a "head", the "head" is also called the "first level".

Therefore, the head we see is actually a KPI indicator for fighters, which is directly linked to bonuses.

In fact, ancient armies did not fight alone. Taking the Qin army as an example, the minimum combat unit was one by one multiplication, with a number of 100 people, consisting of 75 soldiers and 25 logistics personnel. When a soldier cuts off someone's head, he will be covered by other comrades.

It is calculated by the head, but it is not to cut the head while fighting, the ancient sergeant also fought first, and then cut the head.

The ancient sergeants also fought first, and then cut the head, and they did not cut the head while fighting.

No, how can there be a war while cutting off the head, generally according to the scale and difficulty of the war.

, established a 20-level military merit system. This move stimulated the morale of the soldiers, improved the combat effectiveness of the Qin army, and also caused the misunderstanding of "military merit is only the head of the people", in fact, the ancient military merits, in addition to beheading, there are other unknown important military feats.

In this way, the army is required to have a good combat quality, because this is not an easy task.

In fact, it was also very difficult, after all, there were many people who needed to develop at that time, so in the end, it can only be said that it is per head.

It has improved the combat effectiveness of the Qin army, and also caused the misunderstanding of "military merit is only the head theory" to the friends, in fact, the military exploits in ancient times, in addition to beheading.
