Qi Jiguang thinks traditional martial arts are useless. Is it really useless in ancient battlefields?

In ancient battlefields, Sun Tzu used the most moves in the art of war. Although there is a foundation of martial arts, the moves used by soldiers in real fighting with the enemy are very different from traditional martial arts. Before the ancient soldiers went to the battlefield, they all received unified training, the same moves, the same movements and different formations. In ancient times, fighting was about unity, and one person alone could not fight a group of Qi Xin.

Traditional Wushu pays attention to one stroke and one style, but when it comes to the battlefield, this fixed "one stroke and one style" will be limited and not so applicable. In traditional cognition, every movement of Wushu is very particular, and it doesn't matter which step is wrong. Just like those martial arts cheats, one wrong step will be greatly discounted, but on the battlefield, everything is changing rapidly, and there is no time to display a complete set of martial arts.

As we all know, when fighting, hundreds of thousands of soldiers fight together, and they also pay attention to the uniformity of their movements, but traditional martial arts can't. In the crowded crowd on the battlefield, traditional martial arts can't be put into use at all. In a war, those generals will arrange their troops and then repel the enemy with the same action. If you want to use martial arts, then you can't stay in the array, then there will be a gap in the array and it will be easily cracked by the enemy.

Therefore, Qi Jiguang will think that traditional Wushu is of little use, because no matter how powerful you are, you can't stop hundreds or even thousands of people from hitting you at the same time on the battlefield. In formation, you only need to fight the enemy with your brothers, but if you use martial arts, you have to face a group of enemies alone. Moreover, it is not easy to command with countless words. A group of people have different martial arts, and fighting becomes "disorderly dancing", so it is difficult to use the art of war.
