Therefore, on terrain where the troops are easily scattered. I would keep the troops together; on contested terrain I would pick up the pace of our rear divisions, on intermediate terrain, I would pay particular attention to defense; at a strategically vital intersection, I would make sure of my alliances; on critical terrain, I would maintain a continuous line of provisions; on difficult terrain, I would continue the advance along the road; on terrain vulnerable to ambush, I would block off the paths of access and retreat; on terrain from which there is no way out, I would show our troops my resolve to fight to the death.
Thus the psychology of the soldier is;
Resist when surrounded,
Fight when you have to,
And obey orders explicitly when in danger.
