ABSTRACT
Whenever cavalry units engage infantry forces in combat, should they encounter mountains, forests, ravines, defiles, bodies of water, or wetlands, they must urgently proceed through them and quickly depart. These six constitute terrain on which defeat is certain; do not engage in combat on them. If you want to fight, you must secure level, easy terrain where the cav32airy will be unobstructed in both advancing and retreating. Then when you engage an enemy infantry force, you will invariably be victorious. A tactical principle states: "Employ cavalry on easy terrain."
