Of course, this may not be the author's mistake, but the understanding of the relevant situation at that time is somewhat different from that of later generations.

These are quite obvious in the middle:

Measures according to the situation:

1. The Spartan Cleacus found out that the Thracians had brought into the mountains everything necessary for their subsistence, and their only hope was to get him to withdraw because of a lack of food. So, according to reckoning, before the Thracian messenger arrived, he ordered a prisoner to be executed in public, his body cut into pieces, and distributed among the tents for consumption. When the Thracians saw this, they were convinced that Cleacus would be determined not to give up until he had achieved his goal, and he surrendered.

2. When the Lusitanians declared to Tiberius Gracchus that they had enough food for ten years, so they were not afraid of being besieged, Grachus said, "Well, then I will wait until the eleventh year to collect you." Deterred by this statement, the Lusitanians, although they still had plenty of food on hand, soon surrendered.

3. Olus Torquato besieged a Greek town. When he was told that the young people there were seriously practising javelin throwing and archery, he replied, "It won't be long before I sell them all for a great price."

Judging from the above, Westerners will not mind some unacceptable ways of dealing with combat in some special situations, but these examples are somewhat different from the title.

Mobilize the enemy:

1. When Hannibal returned to Africa, many towns were still garrisoned by powerful Carthaginian troops. Scipio's policy was to take these towns down, so he often sent troops out to attack them. At last he himself went out and made the appearance that he was going to plunder greatly, and then he pretended to be afraid and retreated. Hannibal thought that Scipio was really afraid, so he withdrew the garrisons from all over the place and began to pursue Scipio in preparation for a decisive battle. In this way, Scipio fulfilled his vision and, with the cooperation of Masinissa and the Numidians, took the towns that had lost their defenders.

2. Publius, Cornelius, and Scipio realized the difficulty of capturing Derminus, which was guarded by troops from all over the country. So he went to attack other towns. When the defenders of the towns were called up to defend their homeland, Delminus lost support from all over the country, and Scipio took the town.

3. King Pyrrhus of Epirus is bent on capturing their capital during his war with the Illyrians. After a long period of success, he turned to other towns, and succeeded in mobilizing the enemy to divide his forces to defend them. The Illyrians thought that the capital's fortifications would be sufficient to deal with that little enemy. Unexpectedly, when Pyrrhus did this, he remobilized his forces, and now the capital was devoid of defenders. Pyrrhus captured it in one fell swoop.

4. The consul Cornelius Ruffinus besieged the city of Crotone for some time, but failed to fall because of the arrival of reinforcements from Lucania. So, Rubinus pretended to abandon his previous plan, and paid a large sum of money to bribe the next defector and send him to Crotone. The messenger pretended to have absconded from his imprisonment, and he persuaded the townspeople to believe that the news that the Romans he had brought with him had withdrawn was true. The people of Crotone also believed in him and disbanded their allies. Later, as the garrison had been removed, they became weak and had to surrender when they were attacked by surprise.

5. The Carthaginian general Margo defeats Gnaeus Piso and surrounds one of the towers where Piso is hiding. Fearing reinforcements, Margo sent a defector to inform the troops that Piso had been captured by the enemy. Margo used this method to scare the reinforcements back, and he won a great victory.

6. Alcibiades was bent on taking the city of Sicily, and he was stationed in Catena. He selected a man of particular dexterity who had been tested from among the defenders of Katana and sent him to the side of the Syracusens. When they brought him to the popular assembly, he tried to persuade them that the Katanans were very hostile to the Athenians, that if they could get the support of the Syracuses, they would be able to defeat the Athenians, and that Alcibiades would unite with them. Tempted by these ideas, the Syracuse people left their towns and threw all their men over the side of the Katanas. Alcibiades attacked Syracuse from behind, and when he found the city as defenseless as he had hoped, he conquered it.

7. The people of Troy were conquered by the army commanded by Kratros. Cleonymus of Athens came to attack the town, and he threw a spear into the city, with a sign glued to it, claiming that Cleonymus had come to save their country. At the same time, he sent back some of the captives who had been fought over to his side to break up Clatros' ranks. In this way, after creating civil strife among the besieged, he brought his troops over and finally took the town.

The description of the examples in this area is not too directly related to the sound of the text, and this situation may be a problem of understanding by the translator of the translation.

Surprise Enemy:

1. Philip was unable to subdue the fortress of Prinatsus by all means. So he started digging ground in front of the wall, pretending to dig a tunnel. The people in the fortress assumed that this tunnel would definitely lead to the fortress, so they had to surrender.

2. Pelopida, a Theban who once intended to attack at the same time two towns of the Magnesians not far from each other. As he marched toward one of the towns, he ordered that four horsemen, wearing garlands on their heads, should gallop from the other camp as messengers of the good news of victory. To complete the deception, he ordered a forest between the two towns to be set on fire, so as to give the impression that one was burning. In addition to this, he ordered some of the captives to be lined up in the clothes of local citizens. The besieged were horrified at this scene, believing that one of their towns had been captured, and they ceased to resist.

3. Once, the Persian king Cyrus besieged Croesus at Sardis. There was a steep mountain on one side of the road leading to the town. Near the city walls, Cyrus erected many towers, as high as the high ground on the ridge, and placed on them many dummies dressed in Persian military uniforms. At night, he carried the dummies up the mountain. At dawn, he attacked the edge of the city from the other end. When the sun rose, the dummies shimmered in the sunlight like samurai, and the defenders fled in sprawling to the enemy, believing that their town had been breached from behind. (546 B.C.E.)

Attack its unpreparedness:

1. Scipio approached the city of Carthage before the tide of Carthage, which, as he says, is God's guidance. Then, as the low tide fell out of the lagoon, he suddenly landed at the top of the city where the enemy had not expected him to attack.

2. Fabian's son, Fabian Maximus, discovers that the city of Api has been captured by Hannibal's army. He surveyed the surroundings of the town, and then sent six hundred soldiers to climb the walls of the town on a dark night with ladders in the ruins of a Roman-era city on the Mediterranean coast of North Africa, where it was so fortified that it was unguarded, and then opened the gates. The men were carrying out their mission when it was raining heavily, and the sound of the rain drowned out the sound of their movements, which helped them. Fabian himself attacked from another location at the signal, and finally conquered the city of Api.

3. During the Juguda War, Gaius Marius once blockaded a fortress near the Mulucha River. The fortress is built on a rocky hill, accessible only by a narrow path, and the rest of the fortress is full of cliffs as if it had been carefully designed. There was a Ligurian, an ordinary soldier in the auxiliary forces, who once went out to get water, searched everywhere between the cliffs, and climbed to the top. When the soldier returned, he reported to Marius that there was a way to get into the fortress. So Marius sent a few captains of the hundred, with their most astute soldiers and the most skilled trumpeters, to set out. These people go with their heads and bare feet, so that the people down the mountain can see them clearly, and it is easier to climb between the rocks. Their shields and swords were tied to their backs. The Ligurian soldier acted as their guide. Armed with wooden staff and leather ropes around their waists, the men finally made their way to the back of the fortress. Due to the very difficult terrain, there was no one to defend it. They then sounded their trumpets and made loud noises in accordance with the decisions they had made beforehand. As soon as this signal came out, Marius immediately encouraged his men to do everything in their power to attack the defenders of the fortress. The civilians in the fortress were crying out to the defenders to protect them, devastated by the feeling that the town had been breached from behind. In this way, Marius finally stormed and took the fortress.

4. The consul Lucius, Cornelius, and Rufinus conquered many towns in Sardinia. His method was to land his main forces at night and instruct them to lurk and wait for him to personally lead the ships to arrive. When the enemy came to meet him, he feigned retreat and led the enemy to chase him far away. At this point, the troops lurking on the shore went to attack the ungarrisoned town.

5. The Athenian general Pericles once besieged a city, but the people resisted and failed to conquer it. At night, he ordered the trumpeters to blow their trumpets and make a loud noise under the walls of the sea. The enemy, believing that they had already entered the city from there, abandoned it and fled. Pericles then took advantage of the situation and captured the city.

6. The Athenian general Alcibiades, plotting the capture of Kuzicus, made an unexpected surprise approach to the town at night, and ordered his trumpeters to sound their trumpets in another part of the castle. The garrison of the city was sufficient, but as everyone had gathered on the area where they mistakenly thought the enemy was coming to attack, Alcibiades succeeded in breaking through the city where there was no defense.

7. The Midoli general, Selassiblos, tried with all his might to capture the port of West Zion. Again and again he attacked the West Zionites from land. However, while the West Zionians were focused on the direction of their constant attacks, Thrasibulus suddenly led his fleet to capture the harbor.

8. Philip besieged a coastal town. He quietly hooked two warships one by one, shared a deck, and set up towers on them. He then attacked from other towers on land. In this way, he attracted the attention of the town garrison, until he drove the warships equipped with towers from the sea to the unguarded city.

9. Pericles prepares to attack a Citadel of the Peloponnesians, to which only two passages lead. Pericles dug a trench to cut off one passage and began fortifying the other. The troops defending the castle loosened the defenses of the severed passage and devoted all their efforts to defending the other passage where they saw the other side reinforcing the fortifications. Unexpectedly, Pericles put the prepared planks on the trench and attacked the castle by taking the enemy's defenseless passage.

10. Antiochus is fighting against the Ephesians. He ordered the Lotrians, who were with him, to attack the harbor at night, with a loud noise and shouting. When most of the populace rushed to the harbor rashly, the fortifications in the rest of the city were left unguarded, and Antiochus took the opportunity to conquer another section of the city.

Feint:

1. When the Athenian general Formion ravaged the lands of the Halkidki, and the messenger of the Halkidiki accused him of this atrocity, he replied graciously and kindly. On the night when he was about to send the messenger away, he pretended that he had received a letter from the townspeople asking him to return. So he retreated some distance and put the messengers back. When the messengers returned, they said that all was safe and sound, and that Formion had withdrawn. The Halkidiki, believing that they had been promised compensation for their losses and that the troops had withdrawn, relaxed their guard on the town. Unexpectedly, Formion suddenly turned back again, and by this time the Halkidiki were completely powerless to withstand the sudden attack.

2. When the Spartan commander Agosilaus besieged Phosia, and learned that those who were supporting the Phosians were exhausted by the weight of the war, he withdrew his troops a little distance, as if to redeploy his forces for other purposes, thus providing a good opportunity for the Phosian allies to withdraw reinforcements. Not long after, Agosilaus drove his team back and defeated the Phocians in one fell swoop as they lost their support.

3. When Alcibiades fought with the Byzantines, the Byzantines closed the gates and held out. Alcibiades set up an ambush and pretended to withdraw his troops, causing the other side to relax their guards and fight again.

4. After the withdrawal of the troops, Villato walked for three days, and suddenly turned back, and it took only one day to complete the three-day journey of the withdrawal troops. In this way, he took the Segobrigan by surprise as they reverently offered sacrifices and relaxed their defenses.

5. During an battle near Mantinia, Epamiida learned that the Spartans had come to support his enemies. A thought came to him that if he quietly went there and attacked, he might be able to capture the Spartans. So he ordered more campfires to be lit after dark, to show that he was still where he was, and to hide the fact that he had left camp. Unexpectedly, a defector betrayed him, and the army of the Rasidembonites arrived. He immediately abandoned the idea of continuing his march towards Sparta and turned this plan to the Mantinians. He also had the campfires lit as before, so that the Spartans would mistakenly think that he would stay there. At the same time, he marched forty miles back to Mantinia, and finding Mantinia defenseless, he captured it.
