How did the ancient army guard against night sneak attack? What was the result of the night attack?

Today, Bian Xiao brought you an article about how to prevent night attacks in ancient military struggles. ~ welcome to read ~

In fact, in ancient times, night attack was one of the tactics with the highest success rate. As long as the enemy doesn't make all the preparations, it is almost a matter of eating, and there is no time to react. When people rest at night, it is the most relaxing time of the day. When you are sleeping soundly, you will suddenly be told that the barracks have been attacked, and you will feel panic and lose your fighting capacity in an instant. In fact, there were many classic night raids in ancient times, such as the battle of Guandu and the battle of Yiling. They attacked at night first, and then they won by fire. Isn't there any good way to prevent night attacks in the war between armies? We can't keep the soldiers on both sides awake all night. They get dizzy when they go to war during the day. Is there any good way to prevent it?

In fact, the most important thing is early warning. Of course, this warning is not in front of your home, but somewhere near the enemy barracks. It's too late to see the enemy attacking your side now, so be sure to know each other's movements in advance. When you see the enemy attack on a large scale, you must report to the camp quickly. At this time, when the sentry sees the instructions, he can inform everyone in advance to get ready and avoid panic. Of course, sentries and spies never sleep. It is better to work hard for a few people than to stay awake, so this is the most effective way to prevent night attacks in ancient times.

Actually, this method is not difficult. Everyone can basically think, why can you succeed again and again? It depends on whether the attacker is smart enough. Although there are spies and sentries on the opposite side, as long as the route is planned in advance or the enemy's eyes are bypassed, the purpose of sneak attack can finally be achieved. Attackers always take the initiative, and it is usually impossible to get all the action plans of the enemy. Therefore, it is actually another matter to say that night defense is easy to attack. 100% can't protect itself if there is an undercover at home.

Unless you know the specific time of your opponent's night attack in advance, you can also cooperate with the anti-encirclement action. Of course, there is another reason for the high success rate of night attacks, which is to get twice the result with half the effort with fire at night. Ancient military camps were all made of wood, surrounded by flowers and plants, which were easy to burn, so a fire was gone. Attacking with fire at night, whether it is lethality or morale, has multiplied, which is why night attacks are so popular in ancient wars. The ancients did not have a wireless communication system, so the communication efficiency was not very high. If they can intercept the enemy's communication in time, it will be a great loss.

Therefore, the terrible night attack is not only the night attack itself, but also the destruction of the enemy's confidence. Only a good teacher can do everything, from collecting intelligence, buying spies, planting undercover and so on. Of course, in ancient wars, the result is often a final victory or defeat, so everyone will treat every war with caution, and a little slack will be at a disadvantage. Many stories are too exaggerated, and the war will never be reversed because of one person.
