Defensive Stratagem: Withdraw and regroup

This Skill Bit talks about the “Withdraw and regroup” stratagem, which is a defensive tactic to minimize losses and prepare for a stronger counterattack. It involves pulling back forces to reassess and bolster defenses. This strategy avoids direct confrontation with a superior opponent or imminent defeat. By withdrawing, losses are mitigated, preserving strength for future engagements. Effective execution requires careful planning to avoid further vulnerabilities. Withdrawal should be seen strategically, focusing on long-term victory rather than short-term setbacks, enabling preservation of strength and planning for future success.
