   军争篇 NO.6:


  故用兵之法,高陵勿向,背丘勿逆,
  佯北勿从,
  锐卒勿攻,
  饵兵勿食,
  归师勿遏,
  围师必阙,
  穷寇勿迫,此用兵之法也。
  这句啥意思:
  所以,用兵的原则是:对占据高地、背倚丘陵之敌,不要作正面仰攻;
  对于假装败逃之敌,不要跟踪追击;
  敌人的精锐部队不要强攻;
  敌人的诱饵之兵,不要贪食;
  对正在向本土撤退的部队不要去阻截;
  对被包围的敌军,要预留缺口;
  对于陷入绝境的敌人,不要过分逼迫,这些都是用兵的基本原则。
  英文这么说:
  It is a military axiom not to advance uphill against the enemy, nor to oppose him when he comes downhill.
  Do not pursue an enemy who simulates flight;
  Do not attack soldiers whose temper is keen.
  Do not swallow bait offered by the enemy.
  Do not interfere 1 with an army that is returning home.
  When you surround an army, leave an outlet 2 free.
  Do not press a desperate foe 3 too hard. Such is the art of warfare 4.
  白话解释
  首先,站在高出有更好的视野。能更好的了解敌人的动向。就像在高地上和高地下的视野是不同的。同样,在作战时处于高地的一方有能量的优势,防守时敌人要费劲爬上来。进攻时冲下去既快又省体力。而且高地还能发挥火器的优势,枪支,火炮的射程都能增加。手榴弹都扔的更远了,还不怕滚回来。
