Battle of No Escape

Battle of No Escape was a Rank 2 void shūji which taught that there were no conditions of battle simpler or more motivating than “win or die.” A warrior surrounded, with no hope of surrender, was far more likely to be willing to fight to the death, clinging to the feeble chance of survival presented: seize victory or pay the ultimate price. An outnumbered or outmatched commander might intentionally place their troops such that retreat was difficult or impossible, keeping them fighting to the last despite the terrible odds against them.
