In fact, ancient training and modern training have certain commonalities. First of all, it is necessary to exercise physical strength and keep fit, but more emphasis is placed on strength than endurance in practice. Now the army will practice some endurance training programs such as long-distance running with load, while in ancient times, it was more to lift stone locks and smash wooden stakes.
Practice fighting skills. Now our troops are practicing marksmanship and fighting techniques. In ancient times, we also practiced knives, guns and clubs, such as fencing and archery.
Practice formation. This formation is different from what we have now. Now our formation requires beauty, but in the era of ancient cold weapons, formation was used for fighting. As we all know, Macedonian phalanx, Roman phalanx, Daqin iron crossbow array, Bagua array, word snake array, cavalry array and so on. It has changed a lot, but it won't be as neat as what we see in TV plays. After all, it is a war and will not demand beauty.
In fact, these training methods are very similar to the current training, and they are all formulated according to the requirements of contemporary operations. In ancient times, cold weapons were used, and the most important thing of cold weapons was strength. Only when individual soldiers gain great strength can the survival rate of soldiers be greatly improved. The group battle mainly depends on the battle formation, because the ancient battle was the collision of two formations, depending on whose soldiers were stronger and whose formation was higher.
These are all ancient training methods.
