A thousand men led by son-in-law Niu Fu charged directly at the Han Army's granary.
Another two thousand men launched a surprise attack on Gu Xi's rear.
Gu Xi's granary was located on the western outskirts of Huai County, with the northern side backed by the remnants of Taihang Mountain's Cyan Dragon Ridge and the south connected to the Dan River Valley, making it a place easy to defend and hard to attack.
This was a very reasonable tactical arrangement.
Provisions are of utmost importance to the army, and Gu Xi certainly wouldn't burden Luoyang with all the responsibility.
Jia Xu's tactic was to seize this opportunity, aiming to pressure Gu Xi's army regarding the provisions.
Three battalions rushed off.
Dong Zhuo was originally born into a powerful clan in Liangzhou State, especially skilled in horse riding and archery, and he befriended Qiang tribal leaders from an early age, with most of his followers being Qiang cavalry.
