The feint to the east and strike to the west tactic may appear simple, but executing it is extremely challenging. First, you need to create the distraction to the east, which means attracting the opponent's attention to force them to move their main force over. This is crucial — without a successful distraction, there's no talk of striking to the west. According to reconnaissance, the enemy in the south is only about two thousand strong. After two ambushes, seven hundred were eliminated, and the night raid took out quite a few more. The enemy numbers no more than fifteen hundred at best. On the southern front, the Hook Tribe has stationed a regiment of one thousand people. Attacking with fifteen hundred against a thousand hardly achieves the "feint" effect. Luo Zheng was baffled by the enemy's tactics.
