Cluster 6  -  Before the Last Stand
(Sebelum berundur dari medan perang jika hamper tewas)

• Beauty trap  -  deploy traps all over the place. Jika berundur, jangan biarkan musuh senang-senang masuk ke tempat kita.

• Empty city ploy  -  act casually when the enemy is attacking, arousing suspicion that we may have traps.

• Use the enemy's spies to sow discord in the enemy's camp  - create rumours, bad / false information for the enemy's spies. Enemy's spies ini kadang-kadang datang dalam bentuk  para konsultan atau auditor yang selalu datang minta data itu ini, dalam masa yang lain, menjual maklumat kepada pesaing.

• Inflict injury on oneself to win the enemy's trust

• Interlocking stratagems  -  use combination of strategies to win the fight

• He who runs away today lives to fight another day  -  try to escape unharmed, to reconcile with others and fight the next day.
