Chapter 18, Sun Tzu on Soldiers

As mentioned earlier, three squadrons of the new army led by Tong Yinxin were auxiliaries, and the remaining seven squadrons were soldiers who actually participated in the battle. The town guard and Hushan Feng were experienced and gave a more reasonable suggestion: form a light cavalry squad, two archer squads, two sword and shield squads, and two spear squads.

Tong Yinxin originally didn't understand it, and there was no objection to this. Later, his younger brother Li Min privately told him a lot of relevant knowledge, popularized a lot of common sense of war, and combined with Hushanfeng's many instructions, he finally had some basic knowledge of how to unify the army and how to march and fight.

While waiting for the new weapon, his younger brother Li Min was promoted again. Soon we will go to war, and the original capabilities of the system are once again insufficient, so it is better to upgrade in advance. Li Min was promoted to the third level, and sure enough, he consumed a hundred points, and the number that could be seen was 888 points.

In this promotion, first of all, the detection range has reached a radius of 100 kilometers, and the detection and search capabilities and accuracy have been greatly improved. Secondly, there has been a lot of optimization in the internal system. The most important thing is that Li Min has the ability to send pictures to Tong Yinxin!

It means that any information or information of Li Min can be clearly displayed in the form of pictures and videos in Tongyinxin Zhihai, which makes Tongyinxin feel as if he has seen it with his own eyes.

This means that within a hundred kilometers, if any enemy is ambushed and ready to attack, it is useless; Li Min can find out about the situation a long time in advance, and Tong Yinxin can also witness it. In this way, the task of the scout team is much lighter.

In fact, the three types of auxiliary squads mentioned above are all engaged in two or three tasks, and the barracks are often patrol squads at the same time. It is necessary to arrive at the state camp and thoroughly mix so that the various squads can concentrate on a specific task.

These things were done best by the ancient Terran armies, and now the armies of various clans are generally chaotic.

Sun Tzu, a great military strategist of the ancient people's race, said: War is a major matter of the country, and it has a bearing on the life and death of the people and the survival of the country.

Therefore, it is necessary to comprehensively compare the situation of the enemy and us in five aspects to explore the situation of victory or defeat in a war: first, politics, second, time, third, terrain, fourth, generals, and fifth, system.

Politics is to make the will of the people and the monarch coincide, and they will die for the monarch in wartime, without thinking twice.

The time of day refers to the change of day and night, rain and shine, cold, heat, and seasonal climate.

The topography refers to the conditions such as the high valley, the distance of the road, the danger and flatness, and the convenience of advance and retreat.

A general is a commander with the qualities of wisdom, integrity, benevolence, bravery, and strictness.

The system is the formulation and management of the military system, military law, and military quartermasters.

All the five aspects of the situation must be unknown to the generals. Those who fully understand these situations will win, and on the contrary, they will lose.

In addition, it is necessary to explore the situation of victory or defeat in the war by comparing the specific conditions of the two sides, that is, which side of the monarch of the two sides is in a clear state of government, which side has more talented generals, which side has a better time and place, which side has strict military discipline, which side has strong troops, which side has well-trained soldiers, which side has clear rewards and punishments, and through these analyses and comparisons, it is possible to judge who wins and who loses.

If the emperor thinks that the above-mentioned military ideology is acceptable, and then creates a favorable situation diplomatically as a supplementary condition, he will seize the initiative. The so-called situation is to rely on favorable circumstances to formulate a strategy for responding to emergencies.

War is a kind of deceit.

Therefore, when they could have been able to fight, they wanted to show weakness, they had to fight but they had to pretend to retreat, they had to attack near but pretended to attack far away, and they wanted to attack from afar, but they pretended to attack at close range. If the enemy is greedy for profit, he will lure him with small profits; if the enemy is in chaos, he will attack him; when the enemy is full of strength, he must guard against it; if the enemy is strong, he will avoid his advance; if the enemy is violent, he will try to disturb him; if the enemy is humble, he will make him arrogant; if the enemy is comfortable, he will fatigue him; and if the enemy is in harmony within, he will divide them.

In short, attack where the enemy is unprepared, and act when the enemy is not expecting it. This is the secret of a conductor's success, and it cannot be explained in advance.

Those who can be expected to win before the war are well planned and the conditions are sufficient; those who estimate victory before the war have little certainty are few to have the conditions for victory. Those who are well prepared will win, and those who are not well prepared will lose. How much more do you not have the conditions at all? If we look at the war on the basis of these, victory or defeat will be clear.

It must be said that Sun Tzu's Art of War is a supreme war classic for the extremely intelligent human race, and for the barbaric races, it is tantamount to playing the harp to the cow, which is too high-end.

He also said that knowing each other and knowing oneself will not be defeated in a hundred battles. A squadron of new troops led by Tong Yinxin was training rigorously even for a month of waiting for new weapons, and then continued to train seriously for two months.

This time, the new army pinned high expectations on Ningfeng Town. Many times in the past, the new army in Ningfeng Town had no face, and most of them suffered heavy losses on the way to the state, and in some cases even wiped out the whole army.

Tong Yinxin's own strength has also been greatly improved, and the huge mace weighing 200 kilograms has put his divine power to use; every day, seeing Tong Yinxin practice the mace routine like playing with a light wooden stick, the 100 new officers and soldiers are all full of confidence.

Thanks to the earth-shattering war 20,000 years ago, the war mode of the Zero Realm has long returned to its primitiveness, and in comparison, it is no different from a small fight.

For many years, Ningfeng Town's new army has become more and more uncontrollable, and the hundreds of kilometers leading to the state seem like a moat.

At the earliest, ordinary bandits and beasts could not think of taking the initiative to provoke the new army. It's just a group of recruits, but it's also an army, right?

What started out was a fortuitous encounter. There are desperate young men and bandits, their eyes are red with hunger, and they are out of the way when they are anxious, and they have to do their best to vote no matter who they meet!

Unexpectedly, they would win by a big margin. The Forces nouvelles put up little resistance, and were routed by the last bandits who wanted nothing.

Of course, this is often the case in many other places.

However, after the local kingdoms, they only ordered the bandits below, and they were generally just a formality. All the bandits were very thieves, and when the regular army came, they honestly found a proper place to hide, and it was usually difficult for the large army to really strike at them.

However, the conscription policy of all ethnic groups has been stubborn and has never changed its meaning. The first consideration above is that the new army must see the world in addition to ordinary training. Dealing with resistance along the way is the best combat training!

As for whether the enemy is worthy or not, the above refuses to consider it, and it can't be controlled.

They don't care, and the local government is slowly getting into trouble. A fierce general of the level of Tong Yinxin is almost rare in 10,000 years.

As mentioned earlier, the upper limit of the life span of ordinary mortals can reach up to three to five hundred years old. In fact, most people who can't or don't have the conditions to practice martial arts, whether they are human or not, generally have a lifespan of 100 years. For those who have reached the level of martial arts in martial arts, the lifespan can be extended to two hundred years old.

The practice of martial arts itself also has a little life-prolonging effect, and if you can't break through the martial artist level, it's not obvious. And in any group of people, the ratio of ordinary people to those who have cultivated to the level of a martial artist is terrifying, one hundred to one. Among them, the ratio of those who have the conditions to practice martial arts and those who do not have enough conditions to practice martial arts has reached ten to one.

If a martial master-level cultivator is promoted to the martial saint level, the natural lifespan can be extended to at least three hundred, and the ratio of the martial master-level who can be promoted to the martial saint level is also ten to one.

The highest level of mortals is the Martial God level, and when the Martial Saint level is promoted to the Martial God level, the natural lifespan can be extended to at least five hundred years old, and the promotion ratio is still ten to one.

Moreover, these ratios are approximate, and no one in fact has the ability to make completely accurate statistics.

Martial master-level mid-level people like Hushan Feng and Zhenshou are already high-ranking people in the local area, although they are only in their sixties now, they themselves are very lacking in confidence in whether they have any hope of being promoted to the martial saint level throughout their lives.

If the military merit is not enough, the materials that must be consumed for cultivation - the fragments of spirit stones allocated to the hand will be very few; if the necessary consumables are few, the cultivation progress will be slow; if the cultivation progress is slow, don't count on the promotion. It's such an endless loop.

The town guard and the four subordinates directly under him have all been robed for many years, and although there is a slight gap in rank, they have a deep affection for each other. It's true that it's not as intriguing as the Terrans, and there's no contention. Everyone is about the same, but they can only get one or twenty spirit stone fragments every year.

In ordinary cultivation, there is very little time when I am willing to use the fragments of spirit stones, and I am not willing to use them until I think it is absolutely suitable for a time and place.

The town's main officers are so poor, let alone the residents. The overall cultivation level in the town has been improving extremely slowly, which is the root cause of the low and sluggish level of conscription. The situation is difficult to reverse, and people get a headache when they hear about conscription.

Other places are similar, there are few strong places but they can lead step by step, there are too many weak places, and the weaker they are, the more difficult it is to turn over.

Ningfeng Town made a fortune this time, and the bronze and silver Xin fell from the sky to "be born"; people enthusiastically joined the army for the first time, and the 100 people who joined the new army were all relatively young warriors of a high level that had been rare for many years. In the past few years, the good seedlings were basically hidden, and no one was willing to send them out to die.

The younger brother Li Min was promoted to the third level, and the biggest gain was that he discovered a big secret of Tong Yinxin itself. In the center of his sea of consciousness, there was a huge space! The remaining 888 supernatural digital resources he saw were next to that hidden space.

888 points, but Li Min can see three digits, and there are several digits hidden in the mysterious space, and Li Min still doesn't know what the total number is.

So, Li Min consulted Tong Yinxin, who was also curious, should he consume more magical digital resources and make special inquiries about these questions?
