Encirclement strategy

Encirclement is a military strategy where an attacker surrounds an enemy force from multiple sides, cutting off their supply lines, communication, and escape routes. The goal is to weaken or force the enemy to surrender by isolating them completely, rather than engaging in direct confrontation. Think of it like trapping someone in a box, preventing them from getting food, support, or reinforcements, which over time forces them to give up or become vulnerable. This tactic aims for a decisive victory by controlling and constraining the enemy's options.
