An idiom describing a specific form of creating a blockade where one (1) opponent is placed directly in the path of another opponent.

Comments:

This concept can summed up as a tactic to confound opponents by using one opponent as a blockade against the other(s).

This tactic is somewhat general in nature and does not specify whether the blockading opponent is thrown into the way of the opponent(s) or just manipulated into position (i.e. contact is maintained).

This tactic is typically implemented after the blockading opponent is sufficiently subdued, but this is not a requirement.

Example(s):

See Gathering of the Snakes.
