Art of War: [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11] [12]

by Sun Tzu

10) Terrain

1. With regard to narrow passes, if you can occupy them first, let them be strongly garrisoned and await the advent of the enemy.
2. Should the army forestall you in occupying a pass, do not go after him if the pass is fully fortified, but only if it is weakly fortified.
3. If you are situated at a great distance from the enemy, and the strength of the two armies is equal, it is not easy to provoke a battle, and fighting will be to your disadvantage.
4. Other conditions being equal, if one force is hurled against another ten times its size, the result will be the flight of the former.
5. The natural formation of the country is the unit's best ally; but a power of estimating the adversary, of controlling the forces of victory, and of shrewdly calculating difficulties, dangers and distances, constitutes the test of a great general.
6. The Leader who advances without coveting fame and retreats without fearing disgrace, whose only thought is to protect his country and do good service for his sovereign, is the jewel of the kingdom.
