Burning the enemy's rations was always a powerful stratagem, and thus typically the most difficult plan to pull off. Both sides understood the importance of supply, and so the ration and logistics train were always planned with the utmost care. True reports were mingled with false information, and prince Jin Siyu had always been exceptional at plotting, and in the long year of war, Tian Sheng had never managed to gain such an upper-hand.
So despite the seeming ease and simplicity behind Jin Siyu's ambush and Feng Zhiwei's counterattack, a hidden battle of spies and scouts and disinformation underlay everything.
Jin Siyu's Eastern Army had won their previous engagement, but Tian Sheng had gained intel on the enemy grain storage. The retreating Tian Sheng army had rallied and organized a raid on the San Po Village based on intel that the Da Yue military grains had been moved from East Hill Town.
