◇ Just read — no move neededHunt the horse first
单车必胜马双士 is a verdict every player should know — and the technique is a hunt, not an assault. The horse is the palace's only mobile guard; while it lives, the advisors can shelter behind it. So the chariot does not attack the palace at all: it takes the square in front of it, from which every horse-retreat square is under fire. And the finishing move, when the horse is finally trapped, is delivered with your own king's help — the general walks up and removes the flight squares himself.
