In the Art of War Denma Translation (excellent BTW!) the text says:

And so the method of employing the military—

When ten to one, surround them.

When five to one, attack them.

When two to one, do battle with them.

When matched, then divide them.

When fewer, then defend against them.

When inadequate, then avoid them.

Thus a small enemy's tenacity ~

ls a large enemy's catch. ~
