A "Defeat in Detail" often, but not always uses "turning the flanks" to attack a smaller segment of a larger army and breaking that larger army into smaller segments that are defeated in relative isolation.

Simply going around the enemies strong point and hitting them in a weaker point this ofen leads to a "Defeat in Detail" for the Flanked force.
Traditionally Flanks were considered to be only the extreme right or left of a force, but even then their were sappers and tunnelers that could turn a castle or siege lines "flank" by tunneling under it's strongest defenses. In modern times since roughly the American civil war thier has been the possibility of turning your "Vertical flank".
