In ancient times, there was no public address equipment. How did the general speak to hundreds of thousands of troops?

The ancients were very clever. They will use slogans, strict ancient military discipline, and the presence of heralds and messengers to make the 654.38+million troops hear the general's words.

Use slogans

There was no high technology in ancient times, but they had unique wisdom. There are too many people to shout so loudly, so we should use slogans, such as giving money directly and letting the soldiers who give money kill as much as they say, so that they can listen. That's full of motivation. Basically, the soldiers who pay the money yell at them while paying the money. It can be said to be a simple, convenient and most effective method.

Also, when mobilizing, try to keep the words simple and condense them into a catchy slogan. If it is simple and catchy, don't confuse those imaginary things, such as what is for the country and the people, such as how much money you can get from killing the enemy, how much land you can get from getting married, and so on.

For example, the Qin dynasty's "big waves and big waves" and "old Qin" went to the national disaster, and the old Qin returned to China. There will be no truce until the blood runs dry! There is Daqin in the west, such as the rise of Japan, a hundred years of national hatred, and the vicissitudes of life are hard to level! The world is in chaos, how can it be good! Qin Yourui who fought for the front line! "I'm afraid the military slogans of countries in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period can't compare with Qin.

The ancient army had strict discipline.

Throughout the ages, the discipline of the army can be said to be quite strict, and the soldiers are out of the box. Basically, the generals are talking, and no soldier dares to shout and whisper. If there is, it will be dealt with by military law. That's not a joke. You know, if the army has no discipline, it will basically not win the war, because no one listens to the general at all, and it will naturally become a mess.

The existence of messengers and messengers

There were so many people fighting in ancient times that everyone could not hear what the general said. Then there are heralds and messengers, who are responsible for passing on the general's words level by level to ensure that the 654.38 million+army can hear what the general said.
