Military wisdom ‖ Those who are good at creating momentum win.

In 205 BC 10, Han Xin commanded 10,000 newly convened Han troops, crossed Taihang Mountain, moved eastward, and launched an attack on Zhao. Zhao Wang joined Chen Yu, the head coach of Zhao Jun, and gathered troops to guard Jingxingkou.

Jingxingkou is one of the eight famous passes in Taihang Mountain, which is easy to defend but difficult to attack. At that time, Zhao Jun held Jingxingkou in advance, commanding, waiting for an opportunity, and was in a favorable active position.

Zhao's head coach has a strategic vision. I carefully analyzed the enemy's situation and terrain: some time ago, Han Xin captured Wei and Xia Shuo alive and defeated Zhao. Morale is strong, "its front is unstoppable", and Zhao has to temporarily avoid the edge of the Han army. But the Han army also has great weaknesses. This is mainly manifested in the fact that the rations of the Han army have to be transported all the way, and it is difficult to replenish them. Jingxingkou road is narrow, and chariots and horses can't be parallel, so the Han army's grain transportation will inevitably lag behind.

In view of this analysis, Li Zuoche further suggested to Chen Yu that he should lead Indiana Jones around the enemy lines and cut off Han Xin's route for providing foodstuff; Chen Yu led his troops to fight the Han Xin Army. Li Zuoche believes that as long as this tactic is used, Han Xin will be unable to fight, and no way back. /kloc-within 0/0 days, the Han army can be completely wiped out.

However, Chen Yu, the commander of the Zhao army, insisted on the dogma that "the volunteers don't have to cheat and trick" and rejected Li Zuoche's suggestion. Han Xin found that the plan was not adopted, and he was very happy. He immediately made a good plan and suddenly attacked Zhao.

So it became the most famous story of the last resistance in history.

The essence of the last World War was that the soldiers of the Han army saw that there was a strong enemy before, and then there was water resistance and no way back, so everyone fought to the death, and everyone tried their best, so Zhao's fierce offensive was suppressed. As the saying goes, "soldiers are not afraid of being trapped. If they don't go, they will be solid. If they go deep, they will be captured and they will have to fight."

At this moment, Han Xin's two thousand Qingqi rode out of Zhao's empty camp and suddenly attacked Zhao's camp during the capture. They quickly tore down Zhao's flag and inserted the flag of the Han army. At that time, red flags were everywhere, fluttering in the wind, which was very awesome.

In the fierce battle, Zhao Jun couldn't attack the back water array for a long time, and suddenly found that his camp was full of red flags of the Han army, and his lair had changed hands. Suddenly, people were panicked and fled. The Han army took the opportunity to counterattack across the board, and the Zhao army retreated hastily. As a result, all the soldiers were killed, Chen Yu was killed, and Zhao Wangxie and Li Zuoche surrendered easily.

This is what military strategists call the military layout. Layout is an important part of the "potential" of military strategists. So what exactly is "potential"? "Potential" refers to the military situation faced by two or more parties to the war. "Potential" is not naturally formed, but the product of the subjective initiative of military commanders in war.

If you want to win the battle, you must first lay out the "bureau" and create the "potential". This requires the coach to have the foresight and ability to make decisions, and to have a clear understanding of whether he has the conditions and strength to follow the trend. If you can't "know from your feelings", it is difficult to "take from your feelings".

From understanding the situation to taking action, it is a process of actively "creating momentum". In a war, ancient military commanders had to do many things, including the supply of food and grass, the transfer of soldiers and the legacy of generals, the use of soldiers and the good use of generals, and so on. But in fact, the most important thing is to "build momentum." To "build momentum" is to make use of advantages and seize the opportunity to make the whole war situation beneficial to you.

After the success of the campaign, it will form a high-pressure situation against the enemy, thus launching a rapid attack on the enemy and obtaining the greatest war benefits. Therefore, it can be said that all the activities of the war are for creating momentum. Even if you are at a disadvantage, you can give full play to all your advantages as long as you make full use of them, so as to achieve the goal of containing strong enemies. On the contrary, the party with superior forces will also fail if it does not know how to build momentum and cannot give full play to its own advantages.

From the wisdom of ancient military strategists, it is also worth pondering how to look back on our own way of life, know ourselves clearly, make clear our advantages and disadvantages, and follow the trend. I hope we can learn to build momentum for ourselves and finally win by building momentum.
