The enemy's three-sided encirclement tactic made Luo Zheng realize the severity of the situation. If concentrated forces break through at one point, defending only one side, Luo Zheng dared to fight to the death against anyone unless the opponent had superior forces, including planes and artillery. Three-sided encirclement meant being besieged on three sides, and if not retreating, they would fall into passivity. The best strategy was to quickly evacuate before the encirclement completed, using cattle-driving tactics for counteraction, seeking opportunities for counterattack during movement.
