14. 故兵有走者有弛者有陷者有崩者有亂者有北者凡此六者非天之災將之過也

Now an army is exposed to six several calamities, not arising from

natural causes,

The _T‘u Shu_ reads 天地之災.

but from faults for which the general is responsible. These are: (1)

Flight; (2) insubordination; (3) collapse; (4) ruin; (5)

disorganisation; (6) rout.

I take exception to Capt. Calthrop’s rendering of 陷 and 崩 as

“distress” and “disorganisation,” respectively.
