Definition

1. Verb:
   • To intercept (one's enemy): To go out to meet and engage an advancing enemy force in battle, rather than waiting for them to attack a defended position. This implies an active, offensive response to an enemy's movement.

Usage Examples

• Verb:
  • Quân đội quyết định nghinh chiến thay vì phòng thủ trong thành. (The army decided to intercept the enemy instead of defending inside the citadel.)
  • Chiến lược của vị tướng là nghinh chiến địch từ xa. (The general's strategy was to intercept the enemy from afar.)

Advanced Usage

• This term is primarily used in historical or formal military contexts. It describes a specific tactical decision to take the initiative against an approaching force.

Variants and Related Words

• Nghênh chiến: This is a variant spelling of the same word, with identical meaning and usage. The "nghinh" form is more commonly used in modern Vietnamese.

Synonyms

• Đón đánh: To meet and fight (an advancing enemy).
• Chặn đánh: To block and attack.

Notes on Meaning

• Nghinh chiến specifically focuses on the action of moving an advancing enemy to initiate combat. It is distinct from a passive defense or an ambush set in a stationary position. The core concept is meeting the challenge head-on.
