Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake. Napoleon Bonaparte (French Emperor and military leader)
Napoleon did this again and again as his prey fell into his traps.
Austerlitz (December 2, 1805), or Battle of the Three Emperors, is an excellent example. Another good example is
Lee at the battle of
Chancellorsville (April 30 to May 6, 1863) in the American Civil War (1861-1865). Both involved the ideas of
divide and
conquer.
Last words of Stonewall Jackson:
Let us cross over the river and rest under the shade of the trees.
