In most chines battle descriptions we hear of gran strategy rather than tactics,What are some classic tactic moves employed by great chinese generals.

I guess it is difficult to get concrete, detailed tactics for battles in accient time. But some novels like San Guo (Three Kingdoms) do have some detailed description.

Each literary version of the ["36 Strategems"] has a good historical example of each indiv. strategem used in certain battles.

My personal favourite, the Battle of Jingxing (井陘之戰), in 205 BC Han Xin with an army of 30,000 levies, defeated a numerically larger army of Zhao near Jingxing (Jing Gorge) in modern Hebei province.

Explain more please ?

An oldie but goodie- Sun Bin ambush of Pang Juan at Maling

Before the final battle, Sun Bin gave the impression of "frailty and retreat," inducing his rival Pang Juan to pursue and attack.



Upon the arrival at a locale called Maling (Horse Trout Way), Pang Juan fell into an ambush laid by the army of Qi. The army of Wei was completely annihilated and Pang Juan committed suicide by cutting his throat.

Chinese history is full of great strategys,which are mentioned in detail.Its hard to find description of battle tactics to the depth of Alexanders battles describe them.
