Chapter 229: The Art of War
A big battle was brewing between Yan and Zhao, and the surroundings of Great Thorn City could be described as cloudy and rainy, drawing swords and crossbows, and the atmosphere was extremely tense, but the bottom of the cliff in the Valley of Ten Thousand Wolves was a different scene.
Hua An and Murong Yan stayed at the bottom of the cliff for four or five days, roasting the dog and bear meat stored in the cave, drinking boiling snow water, and soaking in the hot springs from time to time.
With such a comfortable and comfortable environment, and Murong Yan by his side, Hua An really wanted to enjoy a few more days, but Ten Thousand Wolf Valley was not a place to stay for a long time, and the situation in the valley was unknown, and the battle situation in Great Thorn City was even more difficult to know.
After a few days of beautiful enjoyment, Hua'an began to look for a way to climb the cliff at the bottom of the cliff, but unfortunately, Hua'an searched for several days in a row, but never found a way to leave the bottom of the cliff.
Hua An, who had nothing to do at the bottom of the cliff, in addition to eating, drinking, and playing with Murong Yan, took out the 'Ancestral Art of War' given to him by Han Qian whenever he had time to study it carefully.
At the beginning, Hua An didn't think there was anything special about this military book, all the things written were some big truths, and he didn't feel anything practical.
After watching for a few days, Hua'an discovered the secret, the so-called art of war to win, there are only a few ways, but it is really necessary to observe and use it flexibly.
For example, if the enemy is surrounded in an overgrown valley, the best effect is to attack with fire, followed by bows and arrows, and if the enemy is trapped in a swampy area with muddy water, the effect of fire attack is very poor, and the enemy should be trapped in the wet swamp area without attacking.
Elite soldiers rushing thousands of miles to carry out a surprise attack on the enemy army often achieve better results, but at the same time the risk is also very high, it is likely to be surrounded by the enemy's brigade, and whether to implement the strategy of a sudden attack, first of all, we must know ourselves and know the enemy, judge the strength of the enemy's army, their own strength, and the possible reaction of the enemy commander after the attack, and then make corresponding countermeasures.
In terms of troops, if your own strength is greater than the enemy's army, you should take the offensive, and if your strength is significantly weaker than the enemy's army, you should actively defend.
In addition, it is necessary to adopt different strategies for destroying enemy commanders with different personalities, and to deal with enemy commanders with irascible personalities, you can provoke him and adopt the strategy of luring the enemy into depth.
If the commander of the enemy army is a very cautious and serious person, the effect of the strategy of luring the enemy into the depth will be greatly reduced, and to deal with such a cautious enemy general, you can use the strategy of doubting the army, showing weakness when the force is strong, and showing strength when the force is weak.
After looking at it for a few days, Hua'an summed up that the most effective strategies to break the enemy are mainly these few.
First, with the help of the power of nature, if the fire attack and water attack are used well, you can achieve great victory, these two strategies can be described as tried and tested, especially the fire attack, which is used most frequently, and can often create a miracle of war.
In war, grain and grass are related to the lives of soldiers, and soldiers will naturally not be able to fight if they do not have enough to eat, and cutting off the enemy's grain routes can completely crush the enemy's soldiers' will to fight, even if the enemy army has millions of people, as long as the grain and grass are cut off, they will surely collapse.
Third, surprise victory, steady and steady is safe, but it is also difficult to achieve a big victory, especially when their own strength is weaker than the enemy, if the method of steady and steady attack is adopted, most of them fail, and the surprise attack can be unexpected, and achieve unexpected results, but the surprise attack has a certain risk, if it is recognized by the enemy commander in advance, then the effect of the surprise attack will be greatly reduced, and even will be completely defeated by the enemy's generals, therefore, the premise of the success of the surprise attack is to know oneself and know the enemy, and you can use a blind method to attract the attention of the enemy commander, and then suddenly smash out and break the enemy.
These three strategies are the most commonly used, and if used well, they can often achieve great results, and there are other strategies for winning battles, such as training elite soldiers, using terrain to fight enemies, and well-equipped weapons.
Of course, there are many other factors for victory, and the support of the common people and the will of the soldiers are very important.
There are so many strategies to break the enemy in the war book, Hua An was fascinated for a while, not only during the day, but also when the bonfire was raised at night, and even when Murong Yan went to the hot spring to take a bath, Hua An lost the mind to go to see the **.
At this time, in Hua An's eyes, the military book in his hand was more attractive than Murong Yan's trembling little buttocks.
In the evening, before the sky darkened, Wang San took Tie Niu, Thunderstorm, Zhao Wu and nearly a thousand soldiers from the captive camp to the location of Hua'an's cliff.
Looking at the bottomless cliff, everyone was very anxious, the thunderstorm and the iron bull complained about Wang San even more, reprimanding Wang San for not taking good care of Hua'an, so anxious that Wang San almost jumped off the cliff, but fortunately Zhao Wu stopped him.
The black hole under the cliff couldn't be seen how deep it was, so Wang San and the others discussed it and decided to connect all the existing ropes in the whole camp together, tie one end to the big tree on the edge of the cliff, and throw the other end off the cliff.
After doing this qiē, Wang San, who had the lightest body, slowly fell down the rope.
"Wang San, be careful, you have to find the eldest brother!" Thunderstorm shouted.
"Don't worry, if I can't find my eldest brother, I won't go up." Wang San replied angrily, Hua'an hero saved the beauty and accidentally fell off the cliff, and Wang San was not blamed at all, but Wang San was vigorously reprimanded by the thunderstorm and the iron bull, although their impatient mood was understandable, but Wang San was still very uncomfortable in his heart.
"Wang San, say a few words to you, don't take it to heart, don't think about it!" Tie Niu saw that Wang San was angry in his heart, and hurriedly shouted with a big grin.
Wang San frowned and reprimanded: "Close your crow's mouth, who can't think about it." After speaking, he slowly went down step by step.
"Hey, hey!" Seeing that Wang San didn't think about it, Tie Niu laughed softly.
Thunderstorm and Zhao Wu poked their heads out and looked nervously at Wang San, who was going down the cliff little by little.

At this time, it was still evening on the top of the cliff, and the bottom of the cliff was dark, Hua An lit a bonfire at the entrance of the cave, and while roasting the fragrant dog and bear meat, he carefully studied the 'Ancestral Art of War' and even inexplicably enjoyed it.
Hua An's serious study of the 'Ancestral Art of War' will inevitably snub Murong Yan, Murong Yan pouted aggrievedly, frowned and glared at Hua An, but Hua An didn't notice it, and still read the book seriously.
After a long time, Murong Yan finally couldn't help it, she came to Hua An's side, put her pink face on Hua An's shoulder, looked at the military book in Hua An's hand, and said softly: "What are you looking at?" So obsessed. ”
