How did war battles last for days, did nikkas take breaks or what?

[BrothaZay]

I always wanted to ask cuz it was intreeged me.

Like I think the battle of gettysburg lasted like 4 days or some shyt, but how?

You can't tell me nikkas were fighting constantly for 4 days straight. Especially considered they were WALKING hundreds of miles with aarmy gear on before the battle even started so they were already tired af.

And how did they even know where to find each other at? Bacc then they aint have GPS or phones or computers so how did they know where to meet up to fight?

In those days battle they would usually fight in different locations. So on day one it would be in a forest next day near the closest towns. Battle were prolonged because reinforcments came and or it was a stalemate. It still goes on to this day. The Battle of Aleppo in Syria has gone on for 3 years straight. That shyt is crazy.

I don't know but in the video reenactments they show these dudes running across the fields into each other while theyre shooting at each other with looney tune cannon balls and rifles, I always see it and think why the fukk would anyone just run into that

Made no sense to me

People fight in wars for glory, patriotism, religious zeal, or fighting an invasion to protect they people. Also in the battlefield you get pumped up and your adrenaline rushed your body.

They would dig these things called foxholes. In each hole was a fox and within each fox was the soul of a nine-tail fox. The fox would transfer its energy to the owner of the foxhole.

 

[H.R.V]

Scouts were used to find out where the enemy were heading or camped and sides caught up with each other that way,.

They could fight for days with reinforcements turning up and giving the front line a rest so to speak

I always wonder how dudes went into sword battles. How the hell did you know who was behind you and how didnt you hit your friends by accident? That shyt had to be terrifying.

I can see this back in the day when they were fighting with swords but rifles and cannons I guess they figured it out at some point in time recently because now all you see in war videos is people behind cover shooting or from an armored vehicle

Or you could just get washed and have your ass handed to you. Like didn't some of those European countries that was fighting Germany at first in WW1 or 2 line up in battle with horses and cavalry and shyt? Then the Germans pull up in tanks and armored vehicles with machine guns.
