The old fox sorted out his thoughts for a moment and began to explain the way of the army to little Lesser

"You have already understood the introduction of the Art of War, so let me introduce you to the three most commonly used styles in the Art of War, and I have also unified the Three Ways of the Art of War, which I have summarized in my experience of large and small wars."

Little Lesser listened carefully, not wanting to miss a single bit of information, after all, his knowledge of the art of war was limited to the brief engraved under the chess box

"The art of war is divided into the right way, the sophistical way, and the lowly way that I have researched myself."

"Cheap Road"

The old fox touched his chin and knew in his heart what little Rayser was going to say, after all, many people couldn't understand why they could become enlightened

"I'll tell you little by little, don't interrupt now"

"Oh"

"The right way is obviously a commonly used style on the regular battlefield, arranging troops, defending the city, and attacking the city are all certain rules to find, which is also a set that most generals and living generals can be familiar with, because there are many examples of war, such as plain warfare, then as the main cavalry of the battle, it must be in the first echelon, the second echelon is the bow and crossbowmen, and finally the magic troops, all the infantry are arranged on both wings, but the cavalry is impacted, then the infantry will be surrounded on both wings, which is the layout of the traditional plain war."

"Now let's talk about siege warfare, the defending side will definitely arrange a water source outside each house in the city so that the local fire can be extinguished as soon as possible, the grain and grass will be scattered and stored and placed, but the city will be mixed with spies and destroyed at one time, it will be very dangerous, because the most taboo in defending the city is that the grain and grass are interrupted, so that the city will be rescued and become a dead city, and a large number of stones, fire oil, and arrows will be placed on the city wall, and the two teams of crossbowmen in the army can quickly switch the density of arrows when they are far away, and the pikemen and infantry will do hand-to-hand combat when waiting for the enemy to attack the city and climb the ladder.

The besieging side will use the shield infantry as the first echelon to cover the ladder battering ram approaching the city wall, the second echelon will be a mixed advance of crossbowmen and magic troops to try to get as close to the attack wall as possible, the third echelon is a catapult and fire crossbow to form a long-range attack on the city wall and other defenders in the city, and the two wings will be arranged with cavalry troops in case of surroundment, and second, when the infantry troops break through the city gate and seize the city gate, the cavalry can hit the city for the first time and quickly seize the city, which is the style of the traditional art of war and the right way to use soldiers."

"And the trick is more subversive, some of the generals and military divisions of Dacheng can find the enemy's weakness in the changing battlefield and break it instantly, I will give you an example here, I once fought a very difficult pass, both sides are very steep cliffs, there is no support around, and the general guarding the pass is very good at defense, the pass inside and outside are arranged like Tietong, at that time I was just a little famous, not even a sage, I meditated for a few days, I found more than 20 rock climbing experts in the army, climbed up the mountain from the cliffs on both sides, and then made the pitons on the rock wall, after success, I let a bunch of soldiers climb up the pitons, and for two days, I secretly transported 5,000 people up the mountain, these 5,000 people crossed the whole mountain and raided the rear of the pass, and they were caught off guard."

Little Rayser really wanted to applaud when he heard this case, he was very bold and risky, and the success rate was very large

"It's a pity that half of the 20 or so soldiers who climbed the rock wall fell to their deaths, they should have died on the battlefield, and I regretted this for a long time."

"Let's not talk about other cases, for example, the battle between the two armies may meet the opponent's marching team in a few days, at this time, if the bold leader will let the cavalry run for a long distance, and cut off the enemy's food and grass before the two armies face each other, so that the maximum effect can be achieved with the smallest force."

"Another example is that I have done such a thing before, the enemy army attacked the city, I first transferred all the grain and grass of the people in the city, and then opened the four gates, when the enemy army came, I thought that we fled without a fight, and took the city, but my troops besieged the city immediately after the enemy entered the city, and now I think about it at that time, I saw the face of the enemy general, I was really indescribably happy, do you know that I also destroyed the city defense equipment in the city, and then I happily besieged the city for a month, and the enemy army threw itself to, and I just didn't attack the city and killed him"

The old fox said the thief's laughter here, and the little Rayser thought to himself that if the general on the other side strangled you, the old fox seemed to see the little Rayser's face and coughed embarrassedly

"Ahem, let's talk about the last cheap way"

"Why is it called a cheap way, I can understand what you said earlier, why there is a cheap way?"

"The cheap way is actually used by many people, to be precise, it is a means to compare the three indiscriminate, and the cheap way I said will make everyone speechless when they hear it, but they have to use this method"

'You do make me speechless,' little Lesser had a black line on his face, and he couldn't stand the fact that this mentor was sometimes cheap

"In fact, there are a lot of cheap ways, such as assassination, poisoning, kidnapping, and coercion are all within the scope of the cheap road, and winning in this chaotic battlefield will be worshiped by people, and if the strategy fails, then you will be too indiscriminate, and the cheap road is very controversial in many cases, because the soldiers who came out of the traditional education and war have a sense of righteousness, and even some generals are the methods used by the family to use the three indiscriminate methods, and they will feel that there is ** If the success rate of the strategy is high and can reduce your own casualties, what does it matter if you bear the infamy, the war is the history written by the winner, have you seen a few defeated people whose names appear in history"

Little Lesser thought about it for a moment, as if there really wasn't, and the famous generals in history would write that he won several battles, paid a few wounds, and almost no one remembered the people he defeated

"Sometimes, the more lowly and indiscriminate, the more surprisingly successful the means"

"But don't talk about the old fox, don't you jump around angrily when you are indiscriminate?"

The old fox did not hesitate to knock on little Rayser's head, and little Reser held his head in his hands

"Dead boy, I'm your mentor, do you say that's your mentor? Besides, I just said that those are all made up by the losers, and the victors are all known as the most effective strategies, understand? Everyone will celebrate the success of the strategy for you when you win the battle, and once you lose, then you are a loser who uses the next three things indiscriminately and is seen through, and the war is so simple, right and wrong are only between success and failure."

Little Rayser covered his head and nodded, as if he understood a little

"Okay, having said so much, the actual combat is the most important, come with me and I'll show you what your mentor is most proud of"

So saying, the old fox got up and walked towards the study, and little Raytha followed and trotted after him
