Do Not Surround & Corner Your Enemy

Yes, contrary to popular belief, DO NOT SURROUND & CORNER YOUR ENEMY!!!

Normally, movies or television programs tend to show how the police surround the crooks and caught them, or how an army surrounds its enemies and wipe them out. Well, don't believe everything you see.

In actual reality, you should never surround or corner your enemy completely. Why?

It is because, when an enemy is surrounded and cornered, it will be like an injured animal ... fighting for its life with all its might. Yes, if the enemy feels that there is no way he could survive except to fight, he will go all out to fight to the death. Even if you manage to out-number or out-maneuver the enemy, you will still suffer heavy losses.

Remember: A cornered enemy with no way out will fight back with all his might and one enemy can be equivalent to ten. Even if you manage to win, you will suffer heavier losses.

On the other hand, if you "unintentionally" left an escape route for your enemy, then it is a different story. If an enemy knows that there is a way out, he will not fight with all his might. He will just fight first and then if he could not cope, he will try to escape. See?

If the enemy feels that it is NOT a fight to the death, he will not do his best to fight to his maximum potential. One enemy will be equal to one or maybe even half an enemy's might. You could defeat the enemy easily, especially when the enemy is making a run.

As the Chinese saying goes, "Bu4 Yao4 Bi Gou3 Tiao4 Qiang2", do not force the dog to jump over the wall.
