Chapter 90： How science fights war 07 ┃ Zhuang Li: This is the secret of winning more with less. (1/2)

The huge tent was crowded with dozens of generals. On the other hand, Zhuang Li was surrounded by this group of big bosses and received all kinds of inquiries.

"Be quiet and listen to what the military advisor has to say." Le Zhengming slapped the table hard.

The inside of the tent was so quiet that you could hear needles falling.

Only the black-faced deputy would exhale heavily from his nose, and his eyes the size of a copper bell stared at the thin young man, as if waiting for the other party to reveal his true form.

Zhuang Li waved his hand slightly and instructed, "Bring a can of red beans and a can of mung beans over here."

Le Zhengming was reluctant to leave the little curly hair, so he glanced at the black-faced deputy general.

The black-faced lieutenant gritted his teeth, but still went straight.

After a while, two cans of beans were placed on the table.

Zhuang Li stretched out his hand, fished out two handfuls of red beans, and finally fished out a handful of mung beans, placed them on both sides, and drew a circle around the two piles of beans with his slender fingertips, and said slowly, "In a sense, War is actually a mathematical game. It is no exaggeration to say that all wars in the world can be described by precise mathematical models. As long as the relevant variables are controlled within the scope of inevitable victory, there is no war that cannot be won. ."

"In other words," he looked left and right, and smiled quietly: "Victory in a hundred battles is by no means a myth."

There is no general who does not aspire to be victorious in every battle. However, throughout history, there has never been a general who has never been defeated in his life.

History has already clarified a truth to the world - the so-called victory in a hundred battles is a complete lie.

Just as Zhuang Li raised his head, the surrounding generals all cried out in surprise, and then showed deep suspicion. Especially the black-faced lieutenant snorted and sneered.

Le Zhengming raised his hand and said in a cold tone, "What's the noise? Anyone who doesn't want to listen, let me go out!"

No one goes out. Although the young military division's words were absurd, they aroused everyone's curiosity even more.

Zhuang Li moved the red beans slowly, arranged them into a square array, and pushed the mung beans into a crescent moon, with a lazy tone: "Do you know what a war dimension is?"

Everyone looked at each other and shook their heads. War dimension? Never heard of this word!

Zhuang Li continued to explain: "War dimension is the space and time range determined by the effective destruction distance and maneuverability of both sides of the battle."

Everyone obviously has ears, but they can't understand this seemingly simple sentence, so the doubts on their faces are even stronger.

Zhuang Li drew a circle around the red beans with his finger and explained further: "If this pile of red beans is from the Jie tribe and this pile of mung beans is from the Wei country, then the range that the bows and arrows fired by these two armies can cover is their war dimension. In this dimension, they can effectively kill the enemy."

"Jie people use bows and arrows, and Wei people also use bows and arrows, and the average range is within 36 feet, so the war between the two sides should be about the same."

"But look, red beans are twice as large as mung beans. They occupy a wide range and have a long diameter, so the war dimension is naturally large. The Wei state has a small number of people and occupies a narrow range. Within the same range, the war dimension is also large. Naturally much smaller than the Jie tribe.

"Two war dimensions of different sizes collide, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that the larger one will inevitably swallow the smaller one.

"That said, a larger army tends to have a larger advantage."

Hearing this, the generals finally understood and could not help but nod their heads.

The black-faced lieutenant said angrily, "Even an idiot understands this principle, so there's nothing to discuss. Instead, tell me, how did we defeat the Jie clan just now, we are so few in number!"

Zhuang Li pushed the meniscus-shaped mung beans, slowly surrounded the red beans that had doubled in size, and moved the red beans gently, changing their square array to a circular array, overlapping with the outer mung beans.

"To put it more bluntly, when there is no huge difference in weapons and equipment, the most effective way to win is actually to divide the war dimension." He tapped the surrounded red beans with his fingertips, and said: "Look, today's red beans, how wide is the war dimension?"

"Everywhere the arrows can reach are their war dimensional, that must be from here to here." The black-faced strong man pointed to the center of the red bean, and then pointed to the outer periphery of about ten inches wide. This distance completely covers the thin layer of mung beans.

However, Zhuang Li shook his head and said, "Wrong, their war dimension is only here." He stretched out his fingertips and tapped the narrow area where red beans and mung beans meet.

"What? Didn't you just say how far the arrow can shoot, how wide is the war dimension?" The black-faced lieutenant felt that he had been fooled.

"Can these red beans squeezed in the middle really be able to shoot arrows?" Zhuang Li inserted his fingertips into the center of the red beans, and smiled softly: "If they shoot arrows from here, you can guess that the arrows will not only land on mung beans. Where else will it fall on it?"

A lieutenant looked carefully at the piles of red beans and a thin layer of mung beans, and said in horror: "I understand! If the red beans trapped in the inner circle shoot arrows into the sky, the falling arrows will hit the outer circle first. These red beans. There are so many red beans, so thick, mung beans only have a thin line, and the chance of being shot in red beans is much higher than that of mung beans!”

As soon as the man's voice fell, all the generals clapped their hands in agreement.

Yes, if the red beans squeezed into the inner circle shoot arrows to the sky, they will also cause indiscriminate attacks on their own troops! So they don't do that!

"It's no wonder that in Guandu before, the Jie people didn't let go after only two waves of arrows. I thought it was strange at the time!" A lieutenant suddenly realized.

They fought and fought **** the battlefield, and they could only see a few feet around them, and they couldn't see the battlefield farther away. The narrow vision of the players limits their ability to sense, so they have no way of knowing exactly what is happening on the battlefield.

In fact, in an army, there are very few people who really know how to win, and even many commanders only have a vague concept of the art of war.
