Not only that, the general's command center should also be on strict alert, trying not to let the other side find flaws. An important opportunity to seize in the battle is to attack the enemy's command center. Once the command center is breached, killing or capturing the opposing generals can basically declare victory in this battle. In a battle, the general's task is to allocate the resources he can control reasonably and complete the combat task at the lowest possible cost. It is not necessary to show his ability by personal force, and generally speaking, commanding and dispatching is much more difficult than fighting, so soldiers will not refuse because the general is not fighting hard enough. It is relative to soldiers that generals are not easy to die.

By the way, the general is not easy to die. Generally speaking, regardless of winning or losing, there is a great chance of not making big mistakes, but compared with other official positions, generals are still a very dangerous profession. There is always the possibility of distress after many wars. Cao Cao's biography records many times of distress. There were also developed civilizations in ancient times in the two river basins, and kings often needed to fight in unison. Many kings died in battle. It is generally believed that King Ullner, who presided over the compilation of the world's first code, died in battle. One-on-one combat is the favorite of storytellers, not real war. The ancient battlefield emphasized formation (cavalry paid attention to assault). Except for a few people who are famous for their bravery, in most cases, the leading generals are deployed by the China army, so they are not so easy to die.
In general war, if the main general is killed and the flag falls, it will deal a great blow to morale and most of the troops will be defeated. Failure will be their own escape. Song law of Tang and Five Dynasties: those who abandon the generals and flee, behead them; The army lost its commander-in-chief, and ordinary soldiers flowed to Wan Li. Therefore, the commander-in-chief must protect himself first to prevent the army from failing and the soldiers from being punished. By the same token, even ordinary soldiers will defend the Commander-in-Chief to the death, let alone be the personal bodyguard of the Commander-in-Chief. Even if defeated, the commander-in-chief is not allowed to die or be captured easily. He will break through death and go back to trial alive. This is his life.
The general is usually in the "middle army", not "stable at the end" The commander-in-chief is there and the flag is there. This means that even if he is defeated, he can retreat in a defeated way instead of "rout". Enemy cavalry are good at chasing defeated troops, and commanders and generals must protect themselves. Besides, when you say "martyr", you really just take it for granted. If you go back alive, you will be taken for granted. "Every soldier who comes back alive after defeat or victory is a valuable asset of the army. The experience of fighting is more important than anything else. A general who died easily can only be said to be brave. Only by starting all over again can you become a truly qualified general.
Another thing is that coaches don't die easily, because they don't have to fight hand-to-hand unless they have to. General officers who fight soldiers are less likely to die than pawns, because: they have high martial arts and excellent armor, that is to say, their attack power and defense power are high; Even if a brave general is used to taking risks before charging, the risk is higher than that of a soldier, but all generals have Qin Bing, or Toothed Soldiers, whose number depends on the rank of the general. Qin Bing is a brave and capable death, and he is well paid. If the generals die, Qin Bing's team will be beheaded, and their families may be implicated. Therefore, in the battle, Qin Bing will personally protect the Lord and act as a meat shield. Compared with the pawn, the Lord will not die easily.

Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun and other generals played a very important symbolic and leading role in the war in the cold weapon era, but their command role was far less than the first two, and there were others who played the command role, such as Kong Ming and Cao Cao. Only if you have extraordinary skills can you become a general. With superb martial arts, one person can defeat hundreds of people, so it is not easy to die. They can take the lead in killing people to improve morale, show their personal charm by showing superb force, and infect their own soldiers to deter enemy soldiers. This is an example.
Usually, a general refers to a person who leads an army to guard one side alone or has the right to command an army. The key is to give orders and play a commanding role. Soldiers are well-trained people, and their physical quality and skills are higher than ordinary people. Every soldier is a fighting force, and many fighting forces are combined into an army. Well-trained soldiers are not only reflected in skills, but also in obeying orders. In fact, well-trained soldiers are not only reflected in their skills and skills, but also obey orders. It is difficult for individuals or small groups to play a role in the battlefield, which requires people with command ability to guide these individuals, and the general is the commander. When the general dies, there will be no one to command, and the soldiers will be at a loss. It is difficult to exert their personal advantages to change the whole war situation, so the general's life is very important. This is why no matter in ancient times or in modern times, there are always soldiers like "pro-soldiers" and "guards" around the generals to protect their lives from threats.
In ancient wars, the general's position was mostly "Zhong Jun", which, as the name implies, was in the center of the army, surrounded by other troops, with the highest security and more convenient to issue and convey instructions. This is often found in materials, history books and movies describing ancient wars in China. Modern war generals usually sit in the "rear", which is actually a place without the threat of war. Because of the development of communication technology, orders can easily reach the front line, so it doesn't matter how far the general is. Moreover, in the era of hot weapons, weapons are more important than people themselves, and there is no need to put "God Gun General" and "Bomb Expert General" on the front line for adventure.

I remember there was a scene in the movie "Brothers Company": the colonel and the general stood in the "rear" and commanded the front to fight. The shells exploded beside the soldiers in front, but they couldn't blow up the leader who was shouting in the "rear". At that time, the colonel rushed a few steps forward because of excitement, and the general immediately reminded him to back off, because he might be blown up if he went any further. Don't you think it's quite hanging, and it can be blown up without moving a few steps forward? In fact, the safe distance is strictly calculated. As long as you are familiar with the effective attack distance and position of enemy artillery, you can find out the position where you can give orders without worrying about being bombed, which is similar to China's "a stone's throw". Generals are often in a safe position, so they are not easy to die.
