Chapter 5 Energy- Direct and Indirect

“3. To ensure that your whole host may withstand the brunt of the enemy’s attack and remain unshaken– this is effected by maneuvers direct and indirect.
4. That the impact of your army may be like a grindstone dashed against an egg–this is effected by the science of weak points and strong.”
Sun Tzu, Master Sun

Direct and indirect methods are used to secure victory
Remain unshaken by increasing your velocity
Know the weak and strong points of the enemy
Engage the enemy wisely
