Book content[ | ]
( . . . )
-In order to keep peace, the ruler shall never forget about war.
-A poorly trained soldier can cause just as much harm on the battlefield as enemy spies and saboteurs outside of it.
-If there's a possibility of forcing your choice of battlefield upon the enemy, it shall be pursued by all means.
-Exploit every available opening. The ends justify the means.
-Know your enemy. Even the bravest knight will perish if he charges blindly into a pikemen line.
-Battles can often be won before they even begin. Starve your enemy out, break their morale, sow the uncertainty among their soldiers. A good fight is never clean.
-Numerical superiority is not always an advantage. Without proper guidance it might crumble upon itself. A single soldier can defeat a hundred enemies if they approach him one by one.
