From long years of military experience he had learned , and with the wisdom of old age he had recognised , that one man cannot guide hundreds of thousands of men struggling with death ; that the fate of battles is not decided by the orders given by the commander - in - chief , nor the place in which the troops are stationed , nor the number of cannons , nor of killed , but by that intangible force called the spirit of the army , and he followed that force and led it as far as it lay in his power
多年的战争经验使他知道，老者的睿智使他懂得，领导数十万人作殊死战斗，决不是一个人能够胜任的，他还知道，决定战斗命运的，不是总司令的命令，不是军队所占的地形，不是大炮和杀死人的数量，而是一种所谓士气的不可捉摸的力量，他正是在注视这种力量，尽他的权力所及指导这种力量。
