1. Although the death rate of the front-row soldiers is high, the military pay is also high. In ancient times, in order to record the merits of the front-row soldiers in detail, the army often set up special monitors and planners. The main force of the charge is extremely dangerous. But as the saying goes, you get what you pay for. Although the soldiers in the front row die for a lifetime, the rewards and treatment are very generous. Generally speaking, the salary of the soldiers in the front row is at least several times that of ordinary soldiers.
We must know that the military pay of ancient soldiers was much higher than that of ordinary poor people who farmed the land. Many soldiers joined the army to obtain generous military pay. The salary of the soldiers in the front row was several times higher than that of ordinary soldiers. With such a great reward, how could no one be tempted.
The most important thing is that in ancient wars, there were many opportunities for frontline soldiers to perform meritorious service. You must know that military merit was very precious in ancient times. As early as the Qin Dynasty, the ruling class established a complete military merit system, and during the Han Dynasty there was even a saying that "non-military merit cannot be granted".
Moreover, the ancient rulers established a complete military merit statistics system in order to stimulate the soldiers' ambitions. There are a large number of supervisors and planners in the military throughout the year to ensure accurate and accurate statistics of military merit.
In addition, in addition to the extremely high military pay, the treatment of the soldiers in the front row is also very attractive. As we all know, although human beings are omnivorous creatures, if they cannot get enough meat supply, the human body cannot afford strenuous exercise at all. However, meat was generally expensive in ancient times when productivity was lagging behind. Even in military camps, not all soldiers could enjoy meat.
However, because the front-row soldiers are generally composed of elite soldiers, which is the key to determining the outcome of the war, the front-row soldiers generally eat meat every meal. Compared with ordinary soldiers, this treatment is enough to attract many people. Up.
Two, most of the positions in the front row are soldiers personally selected by the officers. If they are unwilling to stand in the front row, they will violate the military order and be beheaded immediately. On the contrary, if they fight hard, there is hope of survival
Of course, although the front row soldiers The treatment is very good and the military pay is very high. But no matter how good the treatment is, no matter how high the military salary is, it must be enjoyed by life. For many life-saving veterans Yuzi, the generous treatment of the front-row soldiers is unattractive to them, and it is the truth to live well. The negative psychology of
is naturally blameless on ordinary people, but it is extremely deadly in the military. Because this kind of psychology will not only affect the participation of many veterans with high combat effectiveness in the war, but also spread negative emotions throughout the barracks and affect the morale of the entire barracks. Therefore, for military commanders, veteran oil is a very annoying existence. Under normal circumstances, they will never let veterans Yuzi serve as front-row soldiers.
Compared with veteran Yuzi, recruits are much more popular. Although they have just entered the barracks and have not undergone systematic training, they are also unaware of the cruelty of the battlefield. They are often attracted by generous treatment and opportunities for meritorious service. They consciously serve as frontline soldiers and are extremely brave.
Of course, recruits are not available all the time, and recruits often only need to go through one or two battles to realize the danger of war and become veterans. At this time, the military commander can only use harsh military orders if he wants to obtain enough front-row soldiers.
Before the war, the chief general of the army would often ask the generals to personally select the soldiers in the front row. These soldiers are often recorded. Once they evade battle and escape, they will immediately be accused of disobeying military orders and wanted, and they often end up miserably.
Therefore, for the soldiers selected by the generals, instead of fleeing from the battle, it is better to fight hard, not only have the chance of survival, but also may win a fortune.
3. Although the soldiers in the front row may seem dangerous, they often have the best defense in the whole army. In siege battles, they use artillery fire for the old, weak, sick, and civilians to consume the energy of the defending soldiers. In addition, in order to ensure the continuous combat effectiveness of the soldiers in the front row, the armor rate of the soldiers in the front row is generallyThe highest in the army. You know, armor was very expensive in ancient times, and not everyone in the barracks can wear armor. The soldiers in the front row not only wear armor, but sometimes wear several layers of armor, making it very difficult to kill them.
As for siege battles with extremely high death rates, the old, weak, sick, and civilians are often used as cannon fodder to "ant-attach" the siege, and wait until the garrison soldiers and garrison materials are almost consumed before they are well-equipped. Soldiers in the front row rushed up and broke the defense line of the soldiers defending the city in one fell swoop.
It can be seen that although the ancient front-row soldiers were dangerous, they were far from unacceptable. With generous treatment and complete protective measures, there are still many people willing to serve as front-row soldiers.
