Answer
In the Second Punic War, Fabius Maximus, known as the "Cunctator" (Delayer), employed his renowned delaying tactics against the Carthaginian general Hannibal. Recognizing Hannibal's superior military prowess, Fabius avoided direct confrontations and instead harassed the Carthaginian army by cutting off supplies, ambushing foraging parties, and wearing down their morale. This strategy, though criticized by some, ultimately proved successful in weakening Hannibal's forces and preventing a decisive Carthaginian victory.
