Chapter 31: Talking Weapons
Everybody said, "The latter is good." ”
Hua Long said: "Therefore, the highest state of war is: a soldier who surrenders without a fight. What can make the other side surrender through political maneuvers and strategies is the fraternity of the common people in the world. ”
Let's talk about how to fight when there is to be a war:
1. Preparation and planning before war: It is necessary to understand the strengths and weaknesses of both sides and make plans accordingly.
2. Siege the city with wisdom: that is, do not use force, but use various means to make the defending enemy surrender.
3. Understand factors of an objective, stable, and visible nature, such as the strength of combat effectiveness and material preparations for war.
Fourth, understand and improve subjective, volatile, and contingent factors, such as the allocation of troops, and the courage and cowardice of morale.
Fifth, it is necessary to disperse and assemble, encircle and detour, and cause our strong enemy to be inferior at the predetermined battle site, so that we can win more than we can.
Sixth, the change of maneuver on the battlefield: that is, how to "take the detour as the straight" and "take the trouble as the benefit" to seize the advantage of the first opportunity in the battle; Generals should adopt different strategies and tactics according to different situations; It is necessary to do a good job of camping and observing the enemy situation during the march.
7. Geographical Location Observation: Different operational terrains and corresponding tactical requirements are different, and various operational environments and corresponding tactical requirements are divided according to the "host-guest" situation and the degree of penetration into the enemy.
8. Special tactics: such as the combined use of fire attack, water attack, and espionage.
Everyone was silent when they heard it, Xiang Yu knew that Hualong's knowledge was summed up by later generations, mainly from Sun Tzu's Art of War, but he never used it on the battlefield.
The prince and Ji Yan all seemed to have realized something, and the others didn't quite understand it, only Shen You was amazed and said: "General Hua, saying that you haven't fought before, I really don't believe it, I can't understand your strategy of marching and fighting all my life, and now I feel that it is an honor to lose in your hands." ”
Hua Long said: "General Shen, I want to trouble you to explain these truths to you later based on actual experience, so that everyone can understand, I will first tell you about the two battles we fought together." ”
"When the capital of the Zhou Dynasty, the king of Qi brought 200,000 people, and we had more than 10,000 people, and we designed them to let tens of thousands of elite soldiers fall into our pit when he looked down on us, and killed tens of thousands of him, and then made peace with him, and the king of Qi retreated."
Hua Long continued: "The last time I fought with General Shen, Brother Xiang desperately rushed to a bloody way to capture King Zheng, and he didn't want to have a greater sacrifice, if King Zheng didn't die, we would fight until one side died, there were too many people who died like that, and the strength of the winning side was greatly reduced, and it didn't make much sense to win." ”
In this way, everyone seems to understand a little.
Hua Long said: "If you have any questions later, ask General Xiang and General Shen, my experience is only so much." ”
Xiang Yu thought: The battles he fought are all more than 400 years later, but he can't say it here, so he said: "My second brother has already said quite comprehensively, I'm not as good as him, I don't have anything to say, you can ask General Shen, he is calm and careful." ”
Shen You said: "I also learned a lot today, and I also came to study, and we studied together. ”
The prince said: "General Hua, there are too many things to say, and we can't accept it, let's experience these truths now." ”
Ji Yan said: "Big brother, yes, these are not something that can be learned all at once, even if you understand it, you have to learn to use it practically, and you can master it through continuous actual combat." ”
The princess simply said: "This dead rascal, I'm dizzy when I say it, I won't study, Sister Ji Yan, in the future, the two of us will be together, you come up with ideas, and I will kill the enemy." ”
Ji Yan said, "Okay." ”
The princess said, "In the future, in the war, the two of us will compare the two dead scoundrel brothers, and see how angry they are." ”
Everyone laughed again, and the serious atmosphere was enlivened by her for a while.
Since Hua Long explained these things, Shen You and Chen Sheng also came over every day to learn together, learning martial arts with Xiang Yu in the morning, and discussing tactics with a few people in the afternoon, but there were only people who discussed: Hua Long, Ji Yan, Prince, Shen You, Chen Sheng, Xiang Yu listened to it without anything.
Ji Yan has the most questions, always asking Shen You this, that, Shen You said: "Miss Ji Yan, in fact, General Xiang is much better at fighting than me, you can ask him more." ”
Hearing this, Xiang Yu thought: Ji Yan doesn't want to pay attention to herself.
Ji Yan said: "General Shen, Brother Xiang fights, unlike ordinary people, he is much higher than all others, some tactics are not needed by him at all, and some things that we think are impossible to do, are easy for him." We used his experience to make a battle plan, which was not easy to control, and only my eldest brother knew which tactics worked for him. ”
Xiang Yu felt very useful when he heard it, and thought: Ji Yan can really see the essence of things.
When Shen You heard this, he couldn't help but admire, and said: "Miss Ji Yan, you can see the problem thoroughly, General Xiang is incomparable to ordinary people, he leads 50,000 troops to fight others 100,000, and wins steadily, but for others, it is quite difficult to win, and his tactics are really difficult to formulate." ”
Shen You sighed and said, "If you are a man, it will be terrible, and it is estimated that you will be invincible in leading troops to fight." ”
At this time, Hua Long answered: "General Shen, this is a bad word, who said that women can't fight, I asked my sister to learn, I must let her lead the troops to fight, otherwise it will be fun to learn." ”
Shen You exclaimed: "This woman leads the troops to fight, a miracle through the ages!" Hey, only you, General Hua, can do it. ”
Ji Yan was also overjoyed when she heard this, and said, "Big brother, you really let me lead the troops to fight?" ”
Hua Long said: "What did the big brother lie to you." ”
Ji Yan said happily: "Thank you, big brother!" I always thought that you asked me to learn this because I was usually depressed, and I was looking for something to make me happy. ”
Hua Long said: "Don't worry, as long as you like to do it, the eldest brother will definitely support it." ”
Ji Yan let out a happy "um".
Xiang Yu was also very happy to see Ji Yan like this, he knew that Hua Long was doing this and wanted to help himself.
The prince suddenly said: "Miss Ji Yan's understanding, we really can't compare. ”
At this time, the princess came and interjected, "Brother Wang, you have never praised me. ”
Hua Long said: "The princess's understanding is not as high as my sister's, she doesn't like to use her brain, in fact, she is very spiritual, and her adaptability is also strong." ”
The princess was glad at this time, and said, "It is still this dead rascal who can speak, and praise people can praise the point, so that people do not feel comforting words when they hear it." ”
Hua Long suddenly said: "General Shen, Chen Sheng, you and those skilled workers who smelt iron, if you find that kind of good material, you must notify General Xiang and make him a weapon to take advantage of." ”
Chen Sheng then asked Xiang Yu: "Brother Xiang, what kind of weapon do you like?" ”
Xiang Yu said: "When you find good materials, I will draw a picture for you, if you have good materials, you must keep them, the weapons I use cost more than 100 catties." ”
Everyone now knows that Xiang Yu is born with divine power, and it is not strange to use more than 100 catties of weapons. In fact, the weapon used by Xiang Yu is a "halberd", which combines the characteristics of Ge and spear, that is, the tip of the spear is installed on Ge's head, and it has the dual functions of hooking and stabbing as a fighting weapon, and its lethality is stronger than that of Ge and the spear.
