Genghis Khan's men never went hungry, and the Japanese army in World War II followed suit, directly starving 50,000 soldiers to death
Genghis Khan's life of southern conquest and northern warfare, almost on horseback, the nomadic people he led were originally very strong in combat, fierce in battle, under the leadership of Genghis Khan, their troops crossed the Eurasian continent, directly reached Europe, so that the territory expanded wildly, but long-term marching, grain and grass has always been a big problem, genghis Khan used what method to make his subordinates not hungry? In fact, this method was also imitated by the Japanese army in World War II, but it was counterproductive.
Nomadic people have not experienced agricultural civilization, so they originally have no grain and grass to carry, their food is mostly dairy products and meat products, these things are very good to carry, so Genghis Khan when he fought with livestock, so that you can eat while walking, and the livestock marching speed is much faster than the grain and grass cart, they generally ride two horses, rotate to ride to ensure the speed of the march, special time to throw away the livestock and only take some dried meat to eat.
In fact, the food carried by Genghis Khan will certainly be insufficient, at this time they are generally looted where they go, so that they can replenish their own materials, and in the Second World War, when the Japanese army invaded East Asian countries, it chose to emulate Genghis Khan's method, but Japanese soldiers and nomads are very different, so they march with a large number of livestock when a mess, slow down the march can only rob civilians.
At that time, there was a Japanese army of 100,000 people preparing to cross the no-man's land, they adopted the method of Genghis Khan, the result was that the livestock often fled during the march, they often got lost in order to catch up with the livestock, and they were also found by the allies, directly bombarding the Japanese troops, the result was that all the livestock were lost, and they wanted to rob the civilians, but after the war, the people had already run out, and the Result Japanese army could only retreat urgently, but when they returned to the same place, they knew that this time they starved to death fifty thousand soldiers in vain, and the losses were huge.
