《兵势 - Energy》 | English translation: Lionel Giles [?] | Library Resources |
| 3 | 兵势: | 激水之疾，至于漂石者，势也。鸷鸟之击，至于毁折者，节也。是故善战者，其势险，其节短，势如张弩，节如机发。 |
| Energy: | The onset of troops is like the rush of a torrent which will even roll stones along in its course. The quality of decision is like the well-timed swoop of a falcon which enables it to strike and destroy its victim. Therefore the good fighter will be terrible in his onset, and prompt in his decision. Energy may be likened to the bending of a crossbow; decision, to the releasing of a trigger. |
