绕着近路穿插 context: 在这阵吼声下，原本傻兮兮追在洛忧屁股后面的夜魔突然分成两队，一队原路追击，另一队绕着近路穿插向了洛忧前方企图将他逼死，赫然是追击战中常用的侧翼包围战术，这简单的细节反应出的是夜魔头领极高的生物智慧。 Thanks Bye, have a beautiful time
Well the part you isolated out is basically cutting in front of the person through a shortcut. So it sounds like the enemy is pursuing from behind but also trying to intercept from the front. As a whole it seems to be describing a pincer attack (that’s what I would use for 侧翼包围战术)
i got that, but this 穿插, I feel is kind of strange I was actually thinking about 'flanking maneuver' - 侧翼包围战术
