"The battlefield situation was extremely complex, and even with Tagg as their local guide, Tang Mo was still unsure as he walked along the narrow paths through the woods.
Looking at the dense shrubs on both sides, he asked Tagg, who was leading the horse in front, somewhat gloomily, 'Are you sure this path can definitely take us around to the enemy's rear?'
Tagg nodded with certainty and then pointed ahead, 'I'm sure! I've walked here twice; it will definitely lead us to where we want to go.'
It was obviously impossible for 30 cavalry to change the battlefield situation, so the tactics that Tang Mo and his men came up with on their way, basically involved detouring to the rear.
When outnumbered, sneaking around the enemy and launching a crucial surprise attack from a key position at their rear was essentially their best option.
