《淮南子·兵略训》
用迅雷不及掩耳、闪电不及遮眼的气势，攻击及压倒犹豫不决之敌。善于用兵，如同回音的应和，击鼓发出响声，使敌人眼睛被灰尘迷着都来不及搓摸，上气不接下气。
击其犹犹，陵其与与，疾雷不及塞耳，疾霆不暇掩目，善用兵，若声之与响，若镗之与翰，眯不给抚，呼不给吸。
With the manner of being as fast as thunder that cannot be covered by the ears nor lightning that cannot be blocked by the eyes, they attack and overwhelm indecisive enemies. Those skilled at handling troops, like the echoes responding, beat the drums and create noise such that the enemy does not even have enough time to clear away the dust from their eyes, and are left gasping for breath.
