《六韬·虎韬·动静》
疏散我军旌旗，拉开我行列的距离，并以与敌人相当的兵力向敌进击，刚一交战即行撤退，鸣金停止而故意不止，继续后退三里再回头反击，这时伏兵乘机而起，或攻击敌人两侧，或抄袭敌军前后，全军奋力作战，敌人必败而逃走。 
远我旌旗，疏我行陈，必奔其前，与敌相当。战合而走，南击金无止，三里而还，伏兵乃起，或陷其两旁，或击其前后，三军疾战，敌人必走。 
Disperse our flags, spread out our ranks, and attack the enemy with troops equal to the enemy's. As soon as the battle begins, retreat immediately, stop playing the gong but deliberately, and retreat three miles before turning back to fight back. At this time, the ambush soldiers took advantage of the opportunity to attack the enemy from both sides, or copy the enemy's front and rear, and the whole army fought hard. The enemy will definitely be defeated and flee.
