Must say i never fully reckoned with every single army in pre-industrial history having been a wave of death rape and torture cutting a swathe of horror though the land
#that is to say - i really thought supply trains would prevent 'foraging' in a lot of cases#and pillaging was a 'population hub' thing#what horror - these THINGS amassing - thousands of cruel and armed men#and what can stand against such a thing? only another mass of cruel and armed men#my stuff#personal#i didnt consider it for my little army story...#i did for the big one but.#supply lines aint shit. thats what sun tzu said#he literally multiple times encourages the reader to pillage enemy land.#(which is why its so ironic that that famous sun tzu tumblr post stated that he discourages noblemen from foraging because it wont work)#for the longest time i was like thats bullshit he himself never says that#but now i know that in military terms he in fact encourages 'foraging' repeatedly#it makes me think of conan -that concept - the evil army burns his village#ALL ARMIES BURNED THE VILLAGES
