Been learning about Alexander the Great, and about how he would fight on the front lines with his men. Was it just luck that he and other leaders who fought beside their men survived, or was there some kind of way of protecting them while in battle?

Been wondering about this since it seems really risky for your leader to fight on the front lines does anyone know more about this?
