The Art of War - Chapter 10 - Terrain 地形第十

Sun Tzu's Art of War, Chapter 10, emphasizes the crucial role of terrain in military strategy. Six types of terrain are defined—accessible, entangling, supporting, constricted, precipitous, and distant—each demanding a unique tactical approach. The text also details six common military failures stemming from poor leadership, not unfavorable conditions. Ultimately, success hinges on a general's understanding of terrain, enemy capabilities, and their own troops' strengths, coupled with prioritizing the welfare of the people.
