有声读物《孙子兵法》第70期:第十二章 火攻(1)
英语课
火攻篇 NO.1:
凡火攻有五:一曰火人,二曰火积,三曰火辎,四曰火库,五曰火队。
行火必有因,因必素具。
发火有时,起火有日。时者,天之燥也。日者,月在箕、壁、翼、轸也。
凡此四宿者,风起之日也。
这句啥意思:
孙子说:火攻形式共有五种,
一是火烧敌军人马,
二是焚烧敌军粮草,
三是焚烧敌军辎重,
四是焚烧敌军仓库,
五是火烧敌军运输设施。
实施火攻必须具备条件,火攻器材必须随时准备。
放火要看准天时,起火要选好日子。
天时是指气候干燥,日子是指月亮行经“箕”、“壁”、“翼”、“轸”四个星宿位置的时候。
月亮经过这四个星宿的时候,就是起风的日子。
英文这么说:
Sun Tzu said: There are five ways of attacking with fire.
The first is to burn soldiers in their camp;
the second is to burn stores; the third is to burn baggage trains;
the fourth is to burn arsenals 1 and magazines;
the fifth is to hurl 2 dropping fire amongst the enemy.
In order to carry out an attack, we must have means available.
The material for raising fire should always be kept in readiness.
There is a proper season for making attacks with fire,and special days for starting a conflagration 3.
The proper season is when the weather is very dry;the special days are those when the moon is in the constellations 4 of the Sieve 5, the Wall, the Wing or the Cross-bar; for these four are all days of rising wind.
开篇简介:
中国古代战争历史上,除了野战、城池攻守等常规战法之外,还有许许多多形式各异、惊心动魄的特殊战法,例如山地战、丛林战、荒漠戈壁战、河川湖泊战、夜战、雪战、水战、火攻等等。这中间尤以火攻为人们所广泛瞩目。
所谓“火攻”,就是通过放火燃烧的途径,猛烈打击敌人,歼敌有生力量,毁敌战争资源,从而争取主动,克敌制胜。在古代冷兵器作战的条件下,火攻称得上是威力最为强大、效果至为明显的作战手段之一。火攻一旦奏效,便会使敌方的器械物资、城池营垒片刻之内化为乌有,三军人马瞬息之间毁伤殆尽,从而为纵火的一方主动进攻创造良好的作战态势。
所以,明代杰出的军事家戚继光将军说:“夫五兵之中,唯火最烈;古今水陆之战,以火成功最多”。
