Chapter 268 Lin Che explained the art of war and shocked the military god Xu Da "When we concentrate our forces to defeat the few with the numbers, we must be able to rely on the advantages of the numbers and the number of the enemies to win."

Lin Che said methodically: "Sun Tzu's Art of War actually tells you a very important and simple truth. If you want to win, you must create a situation where we are outnumbered."

"It's like, there is a bundle of ten chopsticks in total. If you just break the bundle of chopsticks, you won't be able to break them."

"But if you separate this bundle of chopsticks and break them one by one, you can break ten chopsticks very easily."

"To put it simply, if you break them together, they will continue to break. If you break them apart, they will break."

"The art of war is the same as chopsticks."

Seeing that Xu Miaoyun wanted to say it but didn't dare to say it, and was extremely embarrassed at the moment, Lin Che pushed the empty cup over and motioned for more tea:

"Do you think what I said is too one-sided?"

"Or do you think it's too extreme?"

Xu Miaoyun added tea, poured water, and returned the tea cup with both hands, and said uneasily:

"The little girl dare not."

"Mr. Mingjian."

Lin Che shrugged, not caring at all: "It's okay!"

"Not understanding normality."

"You'll understand when I finish."

Lin Che stood up and sat up straight, and said seriously:

"To sum up, we can summarize the formula of using a few to attack the masses."

"Whether it's luring the enemy deep, or attacking in the east or attacking in the west; whether it's making friends from far away or attacking close by, or other means of differentiation..."

"The purpose of all these strategies is to disintegrate the enemy's army so that it can be broken into pieces and the masses reduced to a handful."

"Then we concentrate our forces to create a situation where the masses defeat the few."

"Destroy them one by one, and finally win."

Xu Miaoyun subconsciously held her breath and listened very seriously.

"Just like the Battle of Kunyang, the key battle where Liu Xiu defeated Wang Mang."

Lin Che leaned on the chair, changed into a more comfortable position, and said slowly:

"The Han army has 7000 people and the New Army has 43 people."

"There is a huge disparity in military strength between the two sides, so why can they win with less?"

"First of all, the new army underestimated the enemy and even refused to accept surrender. Liu Xiu's vanguard death squads won several battles in a row."

"At the same time, false news was spread, saying that Wancheng had won and that reinforcements were coming, to boost morale and destroy the enemy's confidence."

"The most important thing is that Liu Xiu was defeated while fighting, and the new army kept pursuing him deep behind the enemy's rear. Due to the long drive of the new army, most of them were separated and scattered everywhere."

After a pause, Lin Che continued: "Thus, Liu Xiu completed the first two steps of luring the enemy deep and reducing the crowd into a minority. Then he led the Thirteen Elites out of the city to mobilize troops and phased out the enemy's logistics supplies."

"At this time, the Han army in Kunyang City also observed the change in the situation, and fought out of the city. Finally, they cooperated with the outside and killed Wang Mang's 40-strong new army. They were defeated and only a few thousand soldiers and horses were left to escape."

"So far, Liu Xiu has completed the three steps of concentrating his forces, using a few to attack the masses, and defeating them one by one."

“There are many other battles like this, such as the Battle of Muye, where King Wu of Zhou’s coalition forces defeated 5000 Shang troops with 17 troops, and the Battle of Tangdao, where Li Bao of the Southern Song Dynasty led [-] troops and defeated [-] Jin troops, etc. "

Lin Che raised her chin and looked at Xu Miaoyun who was stunned, and said with a smile: "To sum up, as long as you master the military formula of overwhelming the few, investigate and come up with specific plans, and use all your strength to focus on one point."

"You can attack and conquer everything."

"It's not only suitable for marching and fighting, but also for reading and studying."

"Come on, let's continue."

The words fall.

Shocked.

Not only was Xu Miaoyun here dumbfounded and speechless, but even Zhu Yuanzhang on the other side was horrified beyond measure.

In the secret room next door, you can hear a needle drop.

Zhu Yuanzhang and Xu Da looked at each other with shock beyond words.

"To defeat the few with the multitude...the formula of military tactics..."

"So this is what happened?"

"What Mr. Lin is talking about...is not a superficial way of leading troops to break out...but a simple way to see its origin."

Putting his calloused hands on both sides of the table, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but lean forward, wanting to listen to the class next door.

"Investigation and research will bring out specific plans...then align them and use all our strength."

"That's right!" "It's all right!"

"Mr. Lin mentioned it before."

"We must form an absolute local advantage."

"We finally understand."

"Wonderful!"

"Wonderful!"

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes were eager, and his originally blocked thoughts suddenly became enlightened like an enlightenment.

"Always use more to defeat less, and always have the advantage. Even if there are no conditions, we must create conditions."

"As long as the conditions are met, there will be no disadvantages!"

"And it's not only suitable for marching and fighting, but it can also be used to divide cliques."

"Break them into pieces, outnumber the enemy, and then find a way to defeat them one by one."

"We understand."

The voice did not fall.

Xu Dare couldn't help but frown slightly, feeling that he was losing face. As the commander-in-chief of the armed forces, the general was educated by a 'layman'.

If it spreads, it won't be laughed out of one's teeth? How will we lead these soldiers in the future?

Think about this.

Xu Da took a long breath, suppressed the throbbing in his heart, and said suddenly: "His Majesty."

"My lord...Is there something you don't know whether to say or not?"

"Ha ha."

Zhu Yuanzhang gave the other party a subtle glance.

"There are no outsiders here, you can just say what you want, we didn't stop you..."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Xu Da bowed his hands and made a long bow.

"Whether it's marching to fight or conquering a city, hard power is the criterion for measuring everything."

"As for tactics or strategies... they can make up for some disadvantages and achieve a surprise victory, but relying solely on these things."

"Please forgive me for speaking frankly."

"Can't go far."

After a pause, Xu Da continued: "I also think that Mr. Lin's formula is refreshing, but in the face of overwhelming strength, all efforts are in vain."

"Using Mr.'s strategy, 20 people have a chance to defeat 50 people, but what if we face 100 or [-] million people?"

"A spitting breath can drown someone."

"This battle is impossible to fight!"

After listening to the old man's complaint, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help shaking his head and laughing.

As expected, Xu Da was unconvinced.

Well, that's understandable.

After all, if you don’t have the first place in civility and the second place in military power, and you don’t have the will to win, just don’t become a soldier.

"Tian De, please don't be impatient."

"It's easy to talk about war on paper, but when it comes to the battlefield and you have a huge advantage, can you still ensure that your soldiers will not underestimate the enemy?"

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at him with great interest:

"You are the general. You give orders and coordinate the overall situation, but you are not the one who goes into battle to kill the enemy."

"Do you understand what we mean?"

"For example, you lead one million soldiers, and we lead one hundred thousand soldiers."

"In order not to fall into our trap of overwhelming the enemy with a small number, you must prevent the people below from underestimating the enemy and rushing in."

"You will adopt a fortress strategy and move forward step by step, just a little bit every day, one step at a time, one step at a time."

"Surround us like an iron barrel and make it impossible for us to escape."

"right?"
