Explanation:

The question is about historical tactics used in a battle. The options describe different strategies. The text on the right side of the image (though partially visible) seems to be a historical account. Among the options, "They gave him false maps" is a common trick in military history (a form of deception). Pretending to surrender (\(surrender\)) is a ruse but not as directly related to "spies' trick" as giving false maps. Leading into an ambush (\(ambush\)) is a direct action rather than a trick involving false information. Kidnapping soldiers (\(kidnapped\ his\ soldiers\)) is a violent act, not a trick with maps.

Answer:

They gave him false maps.
