Chapter 182: Feeding War with War

Su Yi settled down, picked up the hardest longbow, took out a cone arrow, and was about to put on the bow. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Su Yi looked at the bow and arrow in his hand, and somehow, an inexplicable pride arose in his heart, and he opened his mouth and recited: "Hold the bow when you are strong, and use the arrow as long!"

As the words fell, Su Yi's body faintly gushed out with golden light, as if a phantom was about to break out of the shell; people's expressions were shocked: What new poems did Su Yi, a young genius in poetry, have?

As soon as they thought of this, everyone held their breath and listened, for fear that they would miss a single word recited by Su Yi.

Su Yi took a deep breath and said again: "Shoot people first...... Woo!"

Su Yi's words were stunned, and a trace of blood overflowed from the corner of her mouth.

Everyone was stunned when they saw this, their brains made a loud noise, and there seemed to be thunder rolling in their ears, and they didn't understand why this phenomenon was happening.

It's just reciting a poem, and you vomit blood?

"Shoot ...... first" Su Yi opened his mouth again, but a strange force easily sealed his mouth.

He turned his head to look and found Qiu Yingyan standing behind him, shaking his head at him.

After being stopped, Su Yi did not get angry, but smiled gratefully, but there were turbulent waves in her heart.

"Strange, so strange! When I recited the sentence 'Shoot a man first and shoot a horse first', I actually felt a shock in the army's heart, as if I was squeezed out by the great power of the Holy Dao, which almost hurt my heart, if it wasn't for the hatred of the court, I am afraid that I would have to cultivate for several months before I can recover, why is this?" Su Yi entered the training ground, and thousands of thoughts flowed through her heart.

Su Yi pondered for a moment, and suddenly her eyes lit up.

"Could it be that this sentence offended the philosophy of the combat chapter of "Sun Tzu's Art of War", so much so that it was suppressed by the Holy Dao of the soldiers?"

When the thought fell, Su Yi immediately remembered the content of the "Battle Chapter".

The combat chapter is ranked after the temple calculation of the "initial plan", that is to say, it is also an extremely important one; the combat chapter is not the same as the title of the article, which tells about how to fight, but about the disadvantages of war.

After the five things and seven plans of the temple, the chapter on warfare still talks about calculations, in which the consumption of money, food, and materials required for the war is calculated in detail, so as to warn all the monarchs of later generations: It is a waste of money to consume a large amount of money, grain, wood, metal, and other materials to fight a war; a war will make the treasury empty, the people will be poor, and the monarch will go bankrupt.

There is a cloud in the combat chapter: "Those who make good use of the soldiers, no longer serve in the army, the food is not for three years, and the food is used for the country, because the food is in the enemy, so the army can have enough food." ”

There is another cloud: "Those who take advantage of the enemy are also goods." ”

"The general meaning of the first sentence is that a general who is good at fighting a war must bring enough soldiers and food once he goes out on a campaign, and he will not return to China to recruit troops after half a battle, so that people can transport grain; but it is impossible to bring enough food for several months or even several years at a time, so what should he eat during this period? Of course, he will eat the enemy's grain? After attacking the city and pulling out the village, the first thing he will do is to raid the enemy's granary, and his soldiers will immediately be able to worry about food and clothing, and will they still need to transport grain at home?"

"Why do the barbarians have a huge advantage over the human race? The large number of soldiers and the wide range of generals is only a secondary factor, and it is not the soldiers who fight for the war, but the struggle for money, food, and logistics! The key factor that ranks ahead of the strength is that when the barbarians invade the Central Plains, they can grab food everywhere, and if they have no food, they will directly eat people, while the Han people can eat when they break out of the barrier and face the vast grassland? In terms of logistics, the human race is really too passive. ”

Su Yi sighed, and then buried herself in thought.

And the rough meaning of the second sentence is: If you want to defeat the enemy more easily, you must reward the soldiers; what is the reward? It is obviously not good to dig out your own pockets, and it is better to rob the enemy's spoils of war to reward the soldiers! Sometimes, a benevolent army with strict military discipline and no offense against the people of the enemy country can rarely win a battle, and it cannot be regarded as an excellent army, because plundering the enemy is also an incentive for one's own soldiers. ”

"As the saying goes: Kindness to the enemy is cruelty to oneself, and there is no need for this kind of false benevolence and false righteousness to march and fight; before the two armies are arrayed, the commander only needs to say: Let go and rob the money and women that you have robbed, and all you have to do is your own, and with such a casual remark, what soldier will not fight to the death? What enemy can stop such an army?"

These two sentences of the combat chapter emphasize the importance of seizing the spoils of war, although it sounds evil, but it is the out-and-out 'justice' in war, and it is the true meaning of 'fighting to feed war'. Even the "Art of War of Wu Tzu" has a cloud: If the chariot is not a chariot and an apprentice, if the chariot cannot be ridden, and the vain cannot be ridden, even if the army is broken, it will be useless! The simple meaning is: War is not about killing the enemy, if you cannot capture the enemy's chariots and horses, and capture the enemy's soldiers, even if you kill the enemy, you will not be credited with any credit. ”

The proverb of the "Art of War of Sun and Wu" is the foundation of the holy way of soldiers: After capturing the enemy's chariot and horses, immediately pulling out the flag and changing banners, riding up to fight the enemy, capturing the opponent's soldiers, trying to influence them, making them surrender, and strengthening the ranks of our army, this is the real way to victory; in ancient times, there were many examples of throwing away armor and luring the enemy into depth, and it was because of the psychology of seizing the enemy's army to grab the spoils of war and compete for military merit that it could succeed. ”

"Sometimes, horses are more valuable than human lives, so the phrase 'shoot a man first and shoot a horse first' is equivalent to saying that you will destroy the spoils of war first, which has already offended the holy way of the soldiers; if you kill 1,000 enemies and lose 800 yourself, and you have not been able to get the spoils, it is equivalent to losing both, but the enemy is defeated even worse, how can you win at all? It is a pity that this poem is difficult to appear in this world, and I have to sigh: Du Fu sometimes writes this kind of poem that violates taboos and lacks strategy. ”

Su Yi talked at length in his mind, and figured out the reason for being rejected by the Holy Dao, but in fact, the reality was only two or three breaths of time, and in the eyes of outsiders, he was just stunned for a moment.

"Well, anyway, it's just a casual chant, and I don't plan to do anything big with this poem. Although Su Yi sighed in such a low voice, if there is a chance, Su Yi still wants this poem to appear in the world.

This sentence reached Han Shuang's ears, making him look puzzled, not knowing what Su Yi was planning.

Su Yi stretched out his bow and arrows again, and the tip of the arrow pointed at the ten-chip target one hundred and twenty steps away, and the silver light was slightly cold.

Seeing this, everyone in the stands talked about it.

"Su Mitian really wants to win the top ten of the flat shot. ”

"Well, I heard that he is already a general, and his physical strength is far from being comparable to that of a martial artist, and choosing the hardest bow as soon as he enters the field can show his self-confidence. ”

"The power is enough to shoot a hundred and twenty steps, but the accuracy may not be able to reach it, let's see first. ”

"Don't talk about this first, I'm more interested in the sentence 'Hold the bow when you hold the strong, use the arrow when you use the long', this sentence is extremely heroic, it can be a famous sentence for the ages, but I don't know what is next?"

"Maybe Su Mitian came up with it temporarily, and I believe that with his talent, he will be able to see what follows in a while. ”

Everyone doesn't know that this Du Fu's "Out of the Stopper" is difficult to appear in this world, and because the news of the Gentlemen's Association has been tightly sealed by Xiang Congliu, and Su Yi has not shown it, everyone doesn't know that he has obtained the second realm of archery.

Han Xiuzhu's gaze fell on Han Shuang, who was fighting Su Yi with only one breath, and shook his head and sighed.

"Alas, Xiaoshuang was influenced by the family, and the obsession of sacrificing his life to serve the family has been deeply rooted and difficult to eradicate, but he also has the glory and pride of the door, if there is a chance, I should let him see the different side of Su Mitian, and strive to resolve him, and even the whole family's prejudice against Su Mitian. Han Xiuzhu thought in his heart.

Just thinking about it, Su Yi moved.

But instead of letting go of his fingers, he turned slightly, pointed his bow and arrow diagonally at the sky, and aimed it at the randomly placed target two hundred paces away.

The challenge of one hundred and twenty steps can no longer satisfy Su Yi!

And two hundred steps is about three hundred meters, for ordinary generals, it is very difficult to shoot two hundred steps with an ordinary longbow, and it is very difficult to maintain strength, only by holding a divine arm bow can it be done, but anyway, it is a test shot, why not?

There was an uproar in the venue.

"Huh, Su Mitian, this is going to ......"

"Impossible, impossible, how could he shoot so far......"

While everyone was talking, Su Yi had already let go of her fingers.

In the eyes of everyone's surprise and shock, the arrows shot out in response, the eagle struck the sky, and the arrows rushed like dragons.

No, it's not "like a dragon", this arrow really turned into a five-zhang long red-scaled dragon with flames all over its body at the moment it left the string!

The roar of the dragon exploded in the air, and the scorching heat wave swept through the sky, and the people below the national warrior were sweating profusely, even the champion had to cover his face with his hands, and the only ones who were not affected were Qiu Yingyan and Xiang Congliu, but they who claimed to know Su Yi well couldn't help but be surprised.

This is clearly the vision of the three realms of archery: the flame dragon traveling to the sky!

Before everyone could ask, they saw this flame dragon spread out a path of flames in the air, and then opened its mouth to spit out a powerful fireball, carrying a terrifying aura of destruction, and rushed towards the arrow target two hundred steps away.

With a bang, everyone felt a shock to the ground under their feet, and when they looked up, they found that not only the arrow target was shattered, but also the surrounding solid stone ground was blown out of a shallow pit with a diameter of about one zhang, and the pit was full of burning marks, as if even the stone and sand had melted and died due to this blow.

Many people gasped, and their eyes looking at Su Yi were full of surprise and weirdness.

Su Yi had already obtained the ability of the three realms of archery at the time of writing the book "The Book of Archery", but now he has only used it for the first time, and he is very satisfied with this kind of range and destructive power; Even faintly surpassing the reckless force, it is one of his other major killing weapons, except for the use interval of up to 100 breaths, there are no other shortcomings.
