When the Red Chariot at file 5 and the Red Horse at file 2 intersect on rank 4, the Black Cannon at file 7 must defend rigorously. The 'Advance' move of the Red Chariot at file 5 into rank 4 will exert strong pressure, forcing the Black Cannon to retreat to rank 5. This presents a golden opportunity for the Red Horse at file 2 to strike at the center of the board.
