"It's impossible, Dad, you're cheating." When Zhao Weiji demonstrated all the rest of the battle process, Zhao Ling'er let out a voice of disbelief.

"How could it be?"

"Of course it's impossible, why does the blue side have an army of 100,000 but have to throw down the siege equipment before crossing the river? And why was the pontoon bridge built by the Red side? Why did the Blue side lose so many people when crossing the river? Why did the blue side surround the city group and still couldn't capture the small city? None of this makes sense. ”

At this time, Zhao Ling'er had already lost her mind with some excitement, she couldn't believe that the blue side with excellent combat power was so vulnerable in the final decisive battle.

"I'll tell you why, listen carefully. Did I tell you a condition just now, that is, the commander of the blue side has almost swept the Central Plains? Do you know what this means? ”

As soon as Zhao Weiji's voice fell, his daughter answered his question without thinking: "Doesn't this mean that he is invincible in the world and extremely handsome?" ”

"You're only half right."

"And what's the other half?"

"The other half is that he is arrogant at this moment, despising everything."

"How is this possible?" Zhao Linger was a little unconvinced.

"How is this impossible? Don't forget the confident state of mind you had when you first stood next to the sandbox, when you had won a battle at best, and only against pirates. This will make your tail to the sky, let alone a general who has almost swept the Central Plains. ”

Zhao Weiji's rebuttal made Zhao Ling'er speechless, although he didn't want to admit it. But what Zhao Weiji said is indeed true.

"Well, even if you make sense. So what? ”

"Since you admit that the other party's commander is in an extremely arrogant state now, is it possible for him to make the mistake of underestimating the enemy, especially when the commander opposite him is still an unknown junior."

"Yes."

"On the real battlefield. There is something called intelligence operations, or counter-plots. Here, the red side used this strategy to convey the news to the blue commander that the red general was the son of a peaceful border commander who only wanted to be comfortable and could not defend the battle.

And the person who helped him meet the enemy before had unfortunately died in the battle in front of him at this time, so the current red side is a rabble with no one to command. ”

After listening to Zhao Weiji's description, Zhao Linger couldn't believe it: "Can this kind of lie work?" ”

"Human psychology often produces a phenomenon called preconception, that is, when a person encounters any stranger or strange thing, often his first image of the stranger and the strange object will have a decisive impact on his thoughts about the stranger and the strange thing. This is called preconceivence. ”

At this time, Zhao Weiji was not only teaching his daughter the knowledge on the battlefield, but also instilling some psychology in later generations for her, because for the grasp of people's hearts, the systematic study of later psychology is very helpful.

"Dad, is it because of this preconceived notion that judging people by their appearance is also caused by this preconceived notion?" After hearing Zhao Weiji's story, Zhao Linger immediately gave an example.

"That's right, if a person is good-looking, it will always make people feel close to him, especially when they meet him for the first time.

Now let's go back to what we just said. The commander of the blue side can be said to know nothing about the red generals at this time, and the only impression he gets is from the mouth of the defeated generals before, but that impression is very vague and does not have much effect.

And this time. His impression of the re-arrival came from the mouths of the RED soldiers he had captured, and although it was possible that the capture of the RED soldiers was deliberate, the BLU commander did not know about it.

All he could know was that he could easily extract information about their generals from the mouths of the Red soldiers. Moreover, this information also negates the content of the information given to him by his subordinates earlier.

At this time, he is in a choice, which side do you think he will believe at this time? ”

Zhao Ling'er thought for a while. Then he said, "He should have trusted his men, but Dad said it before." He is now in a state of extreme arrogance, and he already looks down on these generals of the Red Side, so at this time, it may be easier for him to make his first impression of the generals of the Red Side. ”

"That's right, as you said, he easily believed the words of the captured Red soldier, and decided that the other party's general was a gentleman, so he had an extreme contempt for the other party in his heart."

As soon as Zhao Weiji said this, Zhao Ling'er took what he wanted to say: "I also made the first mistake, threw down a large number of siege equipment, and went into battle lightly?" ”

"That's right."

"And what about those pontoons?"

"What would you think if you were a confident man and your enemies looked down on you?"

"Of course I'm angry."

"That's right, a person who is enraged by the contempt of his enemies naturally doesn't think too much about other things, and the only thought in his mind at this time is to prove himself."

"Well, Dad, even if this pontoon bridge is meant to provoke the opponent, why did the Blue Soldiers start to attrition when they cross the bridge?"

"That's a good question, it's because the red generals poisoned the water around the pontoon, and the blue side lost consciousness and fell into the water and drowned when crossing the bridge due to poisonous gas."

"Isn't it?"

"That's it."

At this time, Zhao Ling'er was completely speechless, but she also began to completely admire the command of this battle from her heart, although this feeling was only a little bit, because at this moment Zhao Ling'er still felt that this battle might be made up by her father himself, even if everything seemed very reasonable.

"Okay, I'll admit that what you said before makes sense, but how do you explain what happened next? Even if it is poisoned, there are still a lot of people on the other side, why can't the blue side capture the city for a long time? ”

"Actually, there are two reasons for this, the first is that the siege equipment was not brought to the south bank."

"I know that, but I don't think it's the decisive reason."

"There's another thing I've told you before."

"Did you say that?"

"I said it."

"What's that?"

"Actually, it's hot."

"Is it a hot day that is the reason for victory?" Zhao Linger couldn't figure it out about this, is there any inevitable connection between the hot weather and winning the war?

"It's hot, of course, it can be the reason for victory, have you only thought about taking advantage of the rain, but haven't you thought that the sun is shining can also change the tide of battle?

Now you can answer me a question first, what are the characteristics of the blue heavy cavalry that I told you about earlier? ”

In fact, this question is not a problem for Zhao Ling'er at all, she said without thinking about it: "Didn't you say that the people and horses were wearing heavy iron armor and almost all their bodies were protected?" ”

"That's right, although this armor has extremely high defense, it has two deadly characteristics, one is too heavy, and the other is too hot.

The armor wraps the whole body so that the person wearing the armor is already prone to feel hot, and the weather is generally fine, if there is a hot day with the sun shining.

Those who are clothed in armor will be burned as if they were in a furnace, and their whole body will be burned and the pain will be unbearable.

Coupled with the fact that the physical exertion of strenuous activity increases as soon as the weather is hot, the physical strength of these heavily armored soldiers and horses is quickly depleted.

How can people and horses be tired and lack effective combat effectiveness, not to mention that the supply of blue soldiers fighting outside is definitely not as convenient as the supply of red soldiers with the support of the city behind them.

What's more, the red boss also constantly uses night battles and poisoning to assist in operations. This multi-pronged approach is the only way to win a war that seems impossible to win. ”

When Zhao Weiji finished saying all this, Zhao Ling'er fell into deep thought, because the impact of this simulated battle on her was too much.

It turns out that the winner or loser of a war is sometimes not entirely on the soldiers, and the character of the commander, the characteristics of the army, and even the weather may become the key factors that determine the outcome of the war.

Seeing that his daughter was in deep thought, Zhao Weiji was very happy, and he didn't plan to say anything more here, he walked to the bookshelf and took out a book and handed it to Zhao Ling'er.

"The Art of War?"

"That's right, now you can start reading the book."

"Well, but, Dad, you'll have to be honest with me, does this battle really exist?"

"I really didn't lie to you, this battle is real, it's just that it's unlikely that you can open it from a book, and Dad, I also learned about it by chance from a special way."

Zhao Weiji did not lie to his daughter, because this battle is a famous battle in Chinese history to win more with less, and this battle is one of the many great battles between Song and Jin.

Since it is something that has not yet happened, it is impossible to find it in the books. The reason why Zhao Weiji took out this battle is because this battle is a typical case of using non-war factors to achieve victory, and he wants to give his daughter a new understanding of war through this battle. Judging from the results, he should have done it.

After saying these words, Zhao Weiji left his daughter in the study, and then quietly walked out of the door and came to the deck.

At this time, it was completely dark outside, and Zhao Weiji was alone under the starry sky feeling the blowing, and when he was feeling comfortable, he saw his son running out of the cabin in a huff. (To be continued......)
