What are the requirements for the Art of War fire attack to be used?

China's history is the longest in the world, with 5,000 years, and various wars broke out in ancient times, so there are many art of war, such as the "Art of War of Lao Tzu" and "Art of War" that we all know, and in the "Art of War", fire attack needs to have fire prevention from the upper wind, fire prevention according to the enemy's situation, and it is best not to fire prevention at night.

First of all, the fire attack is used very much in ancient warfare, fire is the force of nature, and once it burns up is a range of blows, it will burn continuously, and it will consume resources a lot, so many soldiers will choose fire attack to burn the enemy's soldier food or something, it can be said that the effect is very good; However, do not generally use fire attack at night, the effect is very bad, and it is very likely to expose the position, because the wind at night is difficult to **, and it may rain,At this time, it is more difficult to send people out to prevent fire, after all, there is no wind, the fire is very bright at night, and it can be extinguished soon when it is found.

In addition, the temperature at night is relatively low, and it is easy to rain or something, so that the fire attack will not make any sense at all, and it will also expose the position of our army is very badDuring the day, fires will have strong winds, which can cause the fire to expand quickly, so that the best effect can be achieved, but it must be viewed according to the actual situation of the enemy, because if you don't set fire well, you will even be disastrous, after all, there are many trees in the place of war, and once burned, the speed is very fast and difficult to control.

Therefore, after the fire attack is successful, you can't attack randomlyIt is best to wait until the fire reaches its highest point and attack according to the actual situationIf you look at the enemy army because of the fire attack and fall into the downwind and directly enter the fight, the fire is not divided between the enemy and me, it is very likely that their own army will be in great danger, and when the time comes, it will not be fought well, both sides will be defeated, it can be said that in the end the fire won both sides, and the gains outweighed the losses.

To carry out a fire attack, there must be something that ignites the fire, and these things that cause fire must be prepared in ordinary times. There must be a certain amount of time to ignite, and there must be a certain date. The so-called certain time refers to the dry climate; The so-called certain date refers to the time when the Moon passes through the four constellations of Kei, Wall, Wing, and Wing.

When the Moon passes through these four constellations, it is the day when the wind rises.

Fire attack needs the right time, place and people, these three are indispensable, first of all, choose a good weather, can not appear rainy days, followed by fire attack needs good terrain, if the interval is far away, not very suitable, and secondly, people need to start from the inside or from the outside.

The conditions for the use of fire attack should be the necessary conditions, suitable for the environment and weather of fire attack. As well as accurate intelligence, as well as the strategy and tactics of camera decision-making, rapid decision-making and revision.

Sun Tzu's Art of War: Fire Attack.

The article puts forward the idea of "there is a time to get angry, and there is a day", which means that the use of fire attack must depend on the timing, and if the time is not ripe, setting fire will expose the plot and lead to the failure of the fire attack. The main chapter of the fire attack chapter should describe the principles of using fire against the enemy, including the objectives of the fire attack, the conditions for using the fire attack, and the deployment of troops according to the battle situation after the fire attack is launched.

Excerpt from the original text: Sun Tzu said: There are five fire attacks:

One is called the fire man, the second is the fire accumulation, the third is the fire carature, the fourth is the fire storehouse, and the fifth is the fire team. There must be a cause for fire, and fireworks must be furnished. Anger sometimes, ** day.

The time is dry, and the sky is dry; The sun, the moon is in the kei, the wall, the wings, and the wings. All those who live in these four quarters will also be the day when the wind rises.

Whatever fire attacks will be responded to by the changes of the five fires. If the fire is on the inside, it should be on the outside. Those who send fire and are quiet, wait and do not attack, extremely firepower, can be stopped, not stopped.

Fire can be sent out outside, not inside, and then it can be sent out at the right time. The fire has the upper hand, and there is no attack on the downwind. The day wind is long, and the night wind stops.

All armies will know that there are five fires, and they will defend them by number.

Translation: Sun Tzu said: There are five kinds of objectives in a fire attack: one is to burn the enemy's men and horses, the second is to burn the enemy's grain and grass accumulation, and the third is to burn the enemy's baggage.

The fourth is to burn the enemy's warehouses, and the fifth is to burn the enemy's transportation facilities. Certain conditions must be met to carry out fire attacks, and the fire-starting equipment must always be prepared. When you get angry, you should also choose a favorable time, ** to choose a favorable date.

When the weather is favorable, it means that the weather is dry; The so-called favorable date refers to the position of the moon in the four constellations of "Kei", "wall", "wing" and "zhen", and when the moon moves to the position of these four constellations, it is the day of the wind.

Whenever an attack is made by fire, it is necessary to respond in a timely manner with the use of troops in accordance with the changes in the situation caused by the above-mentioned five types of fire attacks. If you set fire to the enemy from within, you must send troops from the outside as soon as possible. If the fire has already burned and the enemy is still calm, it is necessary to observe and wait, not to attack immediately, and when the fire is at its strongest, attack as soon as it is possible, and stop if it is not possible to attack.

Fire can also be set from the outside, so there is no need to wait for internal response, as long as the time and conditions are ripe, you can set fire. The fire is from the upper wind, and it is not possible to prepare for the attack from the downwind. The wind blows for a long time during the day, and the wind stops at night.

The army must understand the variations and applications of the five methods of fire attack, wait for the conditions to be met, and then carry out the fire attack.

The Fire Attack Chapter is the first chapter of the Art of War.

Correct Answer: a

Since it is "murder and arson", then we need to know what to set fire? What props are used to set the fire? When to set fire? What should we do after setting the fire?

The above content is the first half of the "Fire Attack Chapter", that is, the goal, conditions and methods of fire attack.

In the second half, it talks about Sun Tzu's "cautious war" thought. I don't know why Mr. Sun mentioned this in this article.

Since it's a burning thing, it's good to burn everything from the enemy. The specific ones burned are: fire man, fire accumulation, fire chariot, fire store, fire team. That is, burning the enemy's people, grain, grass, baggage, arsenals, transportation facilities, etc.

Arson requires the use of props, i.e., fire attack equipment. See the last section of this article for details.

It takes a certain amount of time to set fires, and the weather is dry and windy, which is the time to set fire to kill people.

When you run inside the enemy and set fire, you need to have our troops outside. You can't just wait for the fire to burn all the enemies out. Perhaps the enemy often conducts fire drills, and when the fire starts to ignite, perhaps the people are not panicking.

At this time, we have to wait for the fire to grow and then wait for the opportunity to move. If you can, you can fight, and if you can't, you can fight.

When setting fire to the enemy's outside, you don't have to wait for an internal response, you can attack directly. Of course, you should start from the upwind direction, otherwise you will burn yourself. It can be seen that the importance of "Dongfeng".

First of all, both are auxiliary means, attacking with fire, easy to win; With water, the offensive can be strengthened. The effect of the two is that the fire attack is greater than the water attack. Water can cut off the enemy, and fire can burn the enemy's capital.

In the face of national interests, we should not fight easily because of emotions, let alone fight unprepared battles. If you win a battle, you must consolidate the results of the victory, and you can't just fight in vain.

The content of the "Fire Attack Chapter" is basically about arson. That is, what to burn, what are the conditions for burning, and what is the method of burning. If you read the original text carefully, you will find that these are all there is to it.

As for the idea of "prudent warfare", it was also touched upon in the previous articles. It's not something new.
