Wei Di is an offensive type of tactics that relies on specific kinds of terrain that can serve as excellent methods for killing and defeating enemy armies.
Overview[]
A Wei Di, especially ones comprised of a steep entrance, can give one’s army advantage point over their respective opponents. With mid-grounds they can surrounded them by using the sharp cliffs and finally, use extremely narrow exits of the terrain to slowly annihilate them.
Strengths & Weaknesses[]
The attacker can simply unleash arrows from the high ground and when the chance arises, rush down to sweep through the enemy in one push. While those under attack can't even escape due to the cliffs and are easily blocked in the Bottle Neck.
Not only that, but they also easily cut off from behind by the enemy, leaving them with nowhere to run. In essence, if one can skillfully lure their enemy into this Wei Di then even defeating an army twice your size would be a simple task. When used by a commander that fully understand its advantages, the terrain can defeat an army twice their own forces as they can even annihilate an entire army. The terrain can also prevent one’s enemies from escaping depending on the overall location.
However, the Wei Di requires a specific location and the right conditions in which to use it. One must also be careful of becoming over relent on the terrain and watch their defensive at the risk of exposing the vulnerable spots or the enemy easily stealing the terrain.
