STRATEGY AND TACTICS BY NAPOLEON.
In each battles and campaign he always applied key element of war. Since he had study military doctrine pioneered by Bourcet and Guibert, he designed three main strategically manoeuvre as follow:.

Whenever possible after pinning the enemy frontal by feint attack, his army than will marched by quickest possible route, hidden by Cavalry screen and natural obstacles, to place himself on the rear of flank of his opponent. This was used in Battle at Borodino in 1912.
b. Strategy of Central Position6. This strategy will be used against the combine strength of enemy. First to isolate one part of the armament and concerntrating a stronger force to ensure its defeat and then turning with full strength to attack the second enemy group. Its means Napoleon planned a series of smaller blows against scattered advisories and set out to destroy them. To simplify the manoeuvre the French army divided to 3 parts a left wing, a right wing and central reserve Cavalry and Artillery. As the central point occupied, Napoleon will begin second part of strategy.
c. Strategic Penetration7. While the enemy is holding and extending "cordon line type of defense he will rapidly march into enemy territory by using speed to off set the danger of being surrounded by the enemy in order to seize come city or town for the next phase of the campaign". This strategy was used during the battle at the Divana and Dnieper River when Russian had line of defense at that area.
