当时国民党兵力远远大于红军，如果就地迎战，等于坐以待毙！俗话说，打不起，还跑不起嘛！红军长征分成好几路，分散了敌人的包围，边走边战，灵活应敌，这可是红军的精明之处啊！

At that time, the Kuomintang military was far more powerful than the Red Army. If the Communists had fought the enemy head-on, it would have been like waiting for their own funeral. There's a proverb that says ''If you can't beat 'em, you can still beat it!" The Red Army split into many smaller units, and scattered the enemy's encirclement. They fought on the march, responding flexibly. That's the clever thing about the Red Army!
