I am not sure that was the correct term... Nagato wasn't trying to destroy the target, but herding it into a trap. Her mini-fleets were not strong enough to destroy the enemy flagship on their own, since most of its forces are spread out elsewhere and keeping the other enemy fleets occupied.
Taking advantage of the fact that the enemy is blinded due to being in unexplored territory, Yuki made sure the enemy fleet can retreat only into the fire of Haruhi, Itsuki, Kyon AND Mikuru. After they removed nearly all the enemy's forces, the lone flagship retreated by itself back into Yuki's range of fire, where she finishes him off.
Yang Wen-li would be proud.
