Stratagem

and force united. Count Turpin, page 43, vol. I. in his e ay on the Art of War, judiciously remarks, that when an enemy, superior in force, is in po e ion of a pa , from which he cannot be dislodged but by art, stratagem and force should be blended together as often as po ible. Onosander, the Greek general, set fire to a wood which was at the foot of a mountain in the enemy’s po e ion, and which he wanted to go over; the flames and smoke forced the enemy to abandon it, and leave the pa age free for him.
