MOE:已至窮途末路的敵人,不可過分逼迫,以免其反撲拚命。
Editor: this quote from Sunzi appears in freely varied forms, thus it's more a general idea than an idiom.
The only thing that may need explaining is 窮寇.
Diff:
# 窮寇莫追 穷寇莫追 [qiong2 kou4 mo4 zhui1] /(lit.) when your enemy is cornered, do not pursue/(fig.) be wary of the cornered animal, it has nothing to lose/
+ 窮寇 穷寇 [qiong2 kou4] /cornered enemy/
