Chapter: The Attack by Fire

12.9

Translation:

(4) If it is possible to make an assault with fire from without, do not wait for it to break out within, but deliver your attack at a favorable moment.

Commentary

You do not need to go into the enemy’s camp to set the fire. You may be able to set this with projectiles in advance of your attack.

Timing of the attack, as always, should coincide with the moment of greatest advantage.
