"This is impossible, dad, you are cheating." After Zhao Weiji demonstrated the rest of the battle, Zhao Ling'er made a voice of disbelief.

"Why is it impossible?"

"Of course it's impossible. Why did the blue side, which had an army of 100,000 men, throw down their siege equipment before proceeding to cross the river? And why was the pontoon built by the red side? Why did the blue side lose so many people when crossing the river?

Why can't the blue team capture the small city despite surrounding it? All of this is unreasonable."

At this time, Zhao Ling'er was already a little excited and lost her mind. She simply couldn't believe that Lan Fang, who had excellent combat power, was so vulnerable in the final battle.

"I'll tell you why, please listen carefully. Did I tell you a condition just now, that is, the commander-in-chief of the blue side has almost swept the Central Plains? Do you know what this means?"

As soon as Zhao Weiji finished speaking, his daughter answered his question without thinking: "Doesn't this mean that he is invincible and extremely handsome?"

"Your answer is only half correct."

"So what's the other half?"

"The other half is that he is arrogant at this moment and despises everything."

"How is this possible?" Zhao Ling'er was a little unconvinced.

"How is this impossible? Don't forget the confident attitude you had when you first stood next to the sand table. At that time, you could only win one battle, and it was just against pirates. This can make you tail

He is as high as the sky, let alone a general who almost swept across the Central Plains."

Zhao Weiji's rebuttal left Zhao Ling'er speechless. Although she didn't want to admit it, what Zhao Weiji said was indeed the truth.

"Okay, even if what you say makes sense, so what?"

"Since you admit that the commander-in-chief of the other side is currently in an extremely arrogant state, is it possible for him to make the mistake of underestimating the enemy, especially when the commander opposite him is still an unknown person?"

"Yes."

"On the real battlefield, there is something called intelligence manipulation, or counterintuitive tactics. Here the red side used this strategy to convey the news to the blue side's commander, that the red side's general is a

The son of the Taiping border commander only wants to be at ease and does not know how to fight or defend.

The person who helped him face the enemy before had unfortunately died in the previous battle, so now the red side is just a rabble without anyone to command it."

After listening to Zhao Weiji's description, Zhao Ling'er couldn't believe it: "Can this kind of lie work?"

"Human psychology often produces a phenomenon called preconception, that is, when a person encounters any stranger or strange thing, his first impression of the stranger and strange object will often affect his view of this person.

The idea of ​​strangers and strange things has a decisive influence on the surname. This is called preconception."

At this time, Zhao Weiji was not only imparting knowledge on the battlefield to his daughter, but also inculcating some things in later generations' psychology into her, because systematic research on later generations' psychology is very helpful for grasping the human heart.

"Dad, is judging people by their appearance also caused by this preconceived notion?" After hearing Zhao Weiji's story, Zhao Ling'er immediately gave examples.

"Yes, if a person is good-looking, it will always be easier for people to feel close to him, especially when they meet him for the first time.

Now let's go back to what we just said. The commander of the blue side can be said to know nothing about the generals of the red side at this time. The only impression he got was from the defeated generals before, but that impression was very vague.

It won't have much effect.

At this time, the impression he got again came from the mouths of the red soldiers he captured. Although the capture of these red soldiers might have been intentional by the red, the commander of the blue did not know.

All he could learn was that he easily extracted information about their generals from the Red Army soldiers, and this information also negated the content of the intelligence given to him by his subordinates.

At this time he is faced with a choice, which side do you think he will believe at this time?"

Zhao Ling'er thought for a moment, and then said: "Originally, he should have trusted his subordinates, but his father said before that he is now in an extremely arrogant state. He originally looked down on Hong Fang's behavior.

general, so at this time, it may be that the playboy’s statement is more likely to become his first impression of the red general.”

"Yes, as you said, he easily believed the words of the captured Red Army soldiers and concluded that the other party's general was a playboy, thus developing an extreme contempt for the other party in his heart."

As soon as Zhao Weiji said this, Zhao Ling'er took over what he wanted to say: "So you made your first mistake, throwing down a lot of siege equipment and going into battle lightly?"

"That's right."

"And what's with those pontoons?"

"Floating bridge, if you are a confident person and your enemies look down on you, what would you think?"

"Of course I'm angry."

"Yes, a person who is angry because of the enemy's contempt will naturally not think too much about other things. At this time, the only thought in his mind is to prove himself."

"Okay, Dad, even if this pontoon bridge is to anger the opponent, why did the blue soldiers begin to reduce their numbers when they crossed the bridge?"

"That's a good question. That's because the generals on the red side poisoned the water around the floating bridge. When the blue side was crossing the bridge, they lost consciousness due to the poisonous gas and fell into the water and drowned."

"Isn't it?"

"That's it."

At this time, Zhao Ling'er was completely speechless, but she also began to completely admire the command of this battle from the bottom of her heart. Although this feeling was only a little bit, because at this moment, Zhao Ling'er still felt that this battle might be the old battle.

Dad made it up himself, even though everything seems very reasonable.

"Okay, I admit that what you said before is quite reasonable, but how do you explain what happens next? Even if they are poisoned, there are still a lot of people on the other side. The blue team is trying to turn the city around, why is it so late?

Is it too late to capture the city?"

"Actually, there are two reasons for this. The first is that the siege equipment was not brought to the south bank."

"I know this, but I don't think this is the reason for deciding on a surname."

"There is another point that I have already told you before."

"Did you tell me?"

"I told you."

"What is that?"

"Actually, it's just that it's hot."

"Can the hot weather be considered the reason for victory?" Zhao Ling'er couldn't figure this out. Is there any inevitable connection between the hot weather and winning the war?

"Of course the hot weather can be the reason for victory. You only thought about taking advantage of the rain, but didn't you think that the bright sun might also change the situation of the battle?

Now answer me a question first, what are the characteristics of the blue heavy armored cavalry that I told you before?"

In fact, this question was not a problem at all to Zhao Ling'er. She said without thinking: "Didn't it mean that the men and horses were all covered in heavy armor, protecting almost all their bodies?"

"Yes, although this kind of armor has extremely high defense, it has two fatal characteristics. One is that it is too heavy, and the other is that it is too hot.

The armor covers the whole body, so the person wearing the armor is prone to feel hot. Generally, the weather is not bad, but if it is a hot day with bright sunshine.

A person wearing armor will feel as if he is in a furnace, his whole body will be burned and the pain will be unbearable.

In addition, when the weather gets hot, the physical energy consumption caused by strenuous activities will increase, which will quickly deplete the physical strength of these heavily armored soldiers and horses.

How can we form effective combat effectiveness when we are short of men and horses? What's more, the supplies of the blue soldiers fighting outside are definitely not as convenient as the supplies of the red soldiers with the support of the city behind them. If one trades off the other, how can the blue side be undefeated?

What’s more, the red team’s coach continues to use night battles, poisoning and other methods to assist the battle. This kind of multi-pronged approach can win this seemingly impossible war.”

After Zhao Weiji finished all this, Zhao Ling'er fell into deep thought because this simulated battle had too much impact on her.

It turns out that sometimes the winner of a war does not entirely lie with the soldiers. The commander's character, the characteristics of the army, and even the weather may become key factors in determining the outcome of the battle.

Zhao Weiji was very happy to see his daughter lost in thought. He didn't plan to say anything more here. He walked to the bookshelf and pulled out a book and handed it to Zhao Ling'er.

"Sun Tzu's Art of War?"

"Yes, you can start reading this book now."

"Well, but dad, you have to be honest with me, does this battle really exist?"

"I'm really not lying to you. This battle is real, but you are unlikely to find its records in books. Dad, I also learned about it through a special way by chance."

Zhao Weiji did not lie to his daughter, because this battle was a famous battle in Chinese history where a small number defeated a large number. This battle was one of the many battles between the Song and Jin Dynasties, the Shunchang Victory.

Since it has not happened yet, it is impossible to find records in books. The reason why Zhao Weiji listed this battle is because this battle is a typical case of using non-war factors to achieve victory.

, he wanted to give his daughter a new understanding of war through this battle. Judging from the results, he should have achieved it.

After saying these words, Zhao Weiji left his daughter in the study, then quietly walked out of the door and came to the deck.

At this time, the sky outside was completely dark. Zhao Weiji was alone under the stars, feeling the breeze coming from him. Just when he was feeling comfortable, he saw his son running out of the cabin in anger. (To be completed.)
