Chapter 10, Verses 8 and 9 - Sun Tzu

With regard to narrow passes, if you can occupy them first, let them be strongly garrisoned and await the advent of the enemy. Should the army forestall you in occupying a pass, do not go after him if the pass is fully garrisoned, but only if it is weakly garrisoned.
~ from The Art of War, Giles translation ~
