These are six ways of courting defeat, which must be carefully noted by the general who has attained a responsible post.

It is the rule in war, if our forces are ten to the enemy's one, to surround him; if five to one, to attack him; if twice as numerous, to divide our army into two.

Move not unless you see an advantage; use not your troops unless there is something to be gained; fight not unless the position is critical.

Secret operations are essential in war; upon them the army relies to make its every move.

When the higher officers are angry and insubordinate, and on meeting the enemy give battle on their own account from a feeling of resentment, before the commander-in-chief can tell whether or not he is in a position to fight, the result is ruin.

Know thy enemy and know thy self and you will win a hundred battles.

According to my assessment, even if you have many more troops than others, how can that help you to victory?
