Numerical Advantage-Sun Tzu

From World's Chinese Wiki

Numerical Advantage - Sun Tzu

English: The strength of an army does not depend on superiority of numbers. Do not advance compulsively based on having large forces. Concentrate the strengths of your forces sufficiently and judge the moves and motives of the enemy accurately so as to capture him. He who lacks strategic foresight and insight and underestimates his enemy will definitely end up being captured.

Modern: 打战不在于兵力越多越好，只要不轻敌冒进，并集中兵力，了解敌情，就可以战胜敌人。无深谋远虑而又轻敌的将帅必定被人俘虏。

Original: 兵非贵益多，惟无武进，足以并力、料敌、取人而巳。夫唯无虑而易敌者，必擒于人。
