Faced with the relentless harassment from the Tian Battalion, the enemy troops had no choice but to hunker down and defend their positions. While they had been able to sortie out and engage in combat during the initial skirmishes, the unpredictable tactics employed by the Tian Battalion gradually tilted the scales of victory—once balanced evenly between the two sides—firmly in favor of the Tian Battalion.
