Passage 7-4

是故券甲而趨, 日夜不處, 倍道兼行, 百里而爭利, 則擒三將軍, 勁者先, 疲者後, 其法十一而至;

Therefore, if you roll up armor and race day and night without rest, covering double distance in forced march to seize advantage a hundred li away—all three commanders may be captured. The strong arrive first, the weak straggle behind; only one-tenth reach the objective.
