Were the ancient war commanders all one-on-one?

There is no one-on-one combat in a real war. When reading ancient novels, many people admire the military commanders who fought one-on-one in front of the battle and won a war by themselves. A general like that can be called a hero. In fact, this kind of thing is basically impossible.

It's just that in the novel, the leaders of the two armies won the battle, lost the battle and fled. During the Ming Dynasty, there was a conflict between Japan and China in Korea, and they also fought a war. Many Japanese worshiped China during the Three Kingdoms period, and the generals sent to North Korea were no exception.

After meeting China's army, the Japanese general is ready to follow the example of the military commanders of the Three Kingdoms and go to the front to fight one-on-one. Our soldiers looked at him like fools, and finally our army drove him away with a row of rifles. Those Japanese never thought that the one-on-one fight of military commanders in the romance of the Three Kingdoms was false.

When fighting in ancient times, generals still attached great importance to their own safety and were unwilling to do such meaningless and dangerous things. Moreover, there were archers who killed commanders in ancient times. Once a commander is killed, it will have a great impact on the situation. The generals will not spare no effort to achieve their goals, but they will not do anything that has little impact on the war situation.

Although in most ancient times, there was no such thing as military commanders fighting one another, there was a time when this kind of thing might happen, that is, the Spring and Autumn Period. During the Spring and Autumn Period, wars between countries were very disciplined. At that time, as long as you can convince each other and everyone, then everything can be solved.

At that time, it was necessary to send envoys to send official documents explaining the cause, time and place of the war. If the other side thinks that your reasons for participating in the war are not sufficient, you can dismiss it. As long as you can convince everyone, then the attacker can't help it. Under such conditions, it is normal for the Lord to fight alone.
