In ancient times, when the two armies were opposed, the main generals of the two sides would always single out in front of the battle, who won the battle could improve morale, and the losing side would throw away its armor and escape, which seems to have become a classic bridge section in costume dramas. So in history, when fighting wars, did the commanders of both sides do the same? In fact, these are all glorifications of literary works, and there is a big difference between history and history.
In ancient times, when fighting wars, generals and commanders are the focus of protection, if you compare an army to a person, then the commander is the brain of this person, and the role played is to command the troops to fight. Whether a unit's combat effectiveness is strong or weak depends to a large extent on the command ability of the commander, and if there is no commander, the troops will be chaotic.

Therefore, in ancient times, the commander was usually in the middle of the troops, and there were troops protecting them on all sides, which is why the troops that protected the commander in ancient times were called the Chinese army. And although the ancient times were cold weapons, there were weapons such as bows and arrows that killed at a distance. If the manager rushes in front of the line and heads-up with the opponent, it is easy to be shot. The ancients were not fools, so how could they do such a stupid thing?
When Xiang Yu and Liu Bang fought, they had proposed a one-on-one head-to-head approach, and whoever won the battle would win. But how could Liu Bang possibly agree? Originally, Xiang Yu sent a fierce general with high martial arts skills, and just a short time before rushing to the front, he was killed by a sudden cold arrow, and Xiang Yu was also very angry after seeing it.
But no matter how he scolded, Liu Bang just didn't come out, and he didn't even show his face. Although Liu Bang's practice is very shameless in the eyes of many people, this is the most real scene of war in history. In ancient times, those who rushed to the front were some low-level soldiers, and their lives and deaths were not cared about at all, so they could only be cannon fodder.
But the main general is different, the main general is the core of the army, if the core is killed, this army can not continue to fight. So is it true that no master in history has ever singled out? In fact, there are still some, but there are relatively few, and the most single-handed of the main general should be the Three Kingdoms period. Because there are too many famous players, there are also many cases of direct heads-up.
For example, Tai Shi Ci once singled out Sun Ce, Lü Bu singled out Guo Feng, Pound de singled out Guan Yu and so on. The Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms have also seen many single-handed fierce generals. However, this is only an isolated one, after all, the risk coefficient of letting the main general single out is too high, once the main will be killed, it is easy to shake the hearts of the army, so this practice is not advisable in the eyes of the ancients, and in general, this way of fighting will not be used.
