    Because taking it off immediately will get "nail removal wind", which can easily cause death, which is the same as people who can't cool down immediately after strenuous exercise.

    Because the ancients fought and then sweated profusely, if you take off your armor at this time, it is easy to catch a cold, and the medical conditions at that time are likely to be fatal.

    According to historical statistics, the ancient iron armor, light 30 catties, heavy up to 50 catties, most of them are woven with iron sheets, can wrap the body tightly up and down, the purpose is to defend against the attack of cold weapons. Such a heavy iron armor, after wearing it, will have a significant effect, that is, cool in winter and warm in summer, the characteristics of metal are easy to conduct heat, plus airtight, therefore, the armor is extremely uncomfortable to wear on the body. Winter is better, but in summer, the iron armor turns into an oven, and after intense exercise, the person is like being in a sauna.

    In the era of cold weapons, going to the battlefield without armor is like looking for death, the kind of martial arts people with stunts, after all, only exist in **, most of them are still flesh and blood. The end of a battle, but it does not mean that there is no danger, the enemy may surprise attack, it is possible to counterattack, and make a comeback, if you rashly take off your armor, but the enemy suddenly appears, then the first to die is definitely the person who is not wearing armor.

    Whether it is iron armor or cotton armor, it is tightly wrapped and unventilated when worn on a person's body. In addition, the weight is not light, and soldiers are very prone to sweating, so there is often a disease called "armor removal wind" in the army. According to our traditional Chinese medicine explanation, people sweat profusely after strenuous exercise, and the wind evil is very easy to invade, restricting the meridians, blocking the qi and blood, and causing pain.

    Thinking that even a general with a head and a face may die because of this, then I don't know how many unknown soldiers have died under the disease of "armor removal wind". Therefore, in ancient times, whether it was a general or a soldier after a battle, no matter how hot it was, he could not take off his armor directly, and he needed to sweat before removing his armor. Otherwise, the limbs are painful and cold, numb, muscle spasms, and the medical conditions in ancient times were limited, even if the soldiers would not die from this disease.

    In order to save their lives to the greatest extent, soldiers on the battlefield in ancient times would wear armor. Armor is a general concept, and there was more than one type of armor in the ancient army, cotton armor sewn with cotton and cloth, and iron armor made of metal. Iron armor is resistant to cutting, and cotton armor has a certain bulletproof effect, they are all tight-fitting on the battlefield, whether it is cotton armor or iron armor, because if you wear it too loosely, it will affect the battle.

    It's because although this war is over, you don't know when the next war will start, and the other side may also sneak attack your team, so you will always wear armor in order to protect yourself from harm.

    Because in the process of fighting, the soldiers have already sweated a lot, and if they take off their armor immediately, it will lead to a stroke and will be dangerous.

    This is because after the battle is over, there is no guarantee that all the enemy will be annihilated, so it is not possible to take off the armor immediately.

    This is mainly due to the fact that after the battle the people are exhausted and do not have any strength to take off their armor, so they need to rest for a while.

    First of all, it is to do a good job of prevention and prevent the enemy's surprise attack, and the armor is the façade of the warrior, and it is more powerful to wear.

    Because after we finish the war, there will be a lot of hot sweat on our bodies, and if we take off our armor at this time, it is easy for our bodies to suffer from wind and cold.

    Because armor is the most advantageous protection tool for soldiers, and ancient wars are incapable, soldiers must always be ready to fight, so they can't take off their armor immediately.

Because the commander is generally in command in the rear, and if he does not go to the front line, the chance of death is definitely much smaller. If the commander has to go to the front line to kill the enemy, then there are basically not many people in this army.
