What to do at Battlegrounds by Sun Zi

English: Therefore, when on dispersive ground, do not engage in battle. When on frontier ground, do not stop advancement of troops. When the enemy is occupying key ground, do not launch assaults. When on communicative ground, ensure that your forces are not separated. When on focal ground, you must attempt to befriend and ally with neighbouring states. When on serious ground, forage on the supplies and resources of the enemy. When on treacherous ground, hurry the movement of the troops. When on constricted ground, plan and strategise. When on death ground, fight relentlessly.

Modern: 所以散地不宜作战,轻敌不宜停留,争地不宜进攻,交地行军不可间断,衢地当四面结交诸侯,重地当掠取粮物,圮地当迅速通过,围地当设制计谋,死地应拼死而战。

Original: 是故散地则无战,轻地则无止,争地则无攻,交地则无绝,衢地则合交,重地则掠,圮地则行,围地则谋,死地则战。
