ABSTRACT

In warfare, whenever the enemy occupies a position near grass and brush, constructs his shelters from ramie and bamboo, or has gathered grass for fuel and piled up his provisions, if the weather has been hot and dry you can exploit the wind's direction to set fires and incinerate them. If you immediately follow up by striking with elite troops, their army can be destroyed. A tactical principle from the Art of War states: "Implementing an incendiary attack depends on the proper conditions."
