trying to 'outflank' the competition
The army 'outflanked' the enemy.
(..) None, sire. There is such a route, good king. Just pass that western ridge. It's an old goat path. The Persians could use it to outflank us. Not one step closer, monster! Wise king, I humbly request an audience. - I'll skewer you where you stand. - I gave no such order. Forgive the captain. (..)2006 300
