Challenge: 'Cannon Trap' - The Golden Strategy to Break the Black Elephant's Formation in 3 Moves (8/10 Difficulty) - Can you solve it?

The current board setup features a hidden 'double horse trap' behind the seemingly calm positions of the two Black Elephants. The Red Cannon at 7-7 and the Red Cannon at 8-6 are forming a secret 'cannon trap', but if not handled correctly, the Black General will escape the Elephant's control and counterattack with the Horse at 4-8. This formation demands precision in 'capture and release', where a small mistake in placing the Cannon can lead to a deadly 'chariot thrust'. This article deciphers how the Red side transitions from 'passive defense' to a decisive 'offensive' in just three moves, while warning of pitfalls even seasoned players may fall into.
