When watching the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", he claimed that he had hundreds of thousands of troops when he saw the war, especially the Battle of Chibi, and Cao Cao claimed that he had 800,000 troops. So did he really bring so many people?
The first thing to tell everyone is that in ancient times, hundreds of thousands of people were bluffing and scaring people, and they wanted to overwhelm each other in momentum before the war began.
The "three armies" commanded by the three armed forces in ancient times were divided into soldiers who fought professionally, the Chinese army responsible for security and defense, and the lower army responsible for the logistics of auxiliary work such as transporting grain, of which the "lower army" was the "main force" with a large number of people.
Even if there are hundreds of thousands of troops, most of them are people responsible for transporting grain, and the real soldiers in the 100,000 army are only 30,000 soldiers.
Ancient cooking soldiers were called the Fire Head Army, and Xue Rengui was born in the Fire Head Army in the Legend of Xue Rengui.
The number of cooking soldiers is not fixed, mainly used to cook for senior officers, grass-roots soldiers are cooking their own, more than a dozen people around a pot to make their own food, simply can not enjoy others to cook to eat. In the famous Battle of Maling, Sun Zhen used the strategy of reducing the stove to mislead Pang Juan before defeating the State of Wei. This way of eating continued until the Second World War, when the Chinese Expeditionary Force went to India as a unit, setting up pots and pans to make fires to eat.
Well, the above is some things about the ancient army cooks, what are your views, please leave a comment to tell us.
