He Jin, Commander of Wanquan Right Garrison, gazed deeply at the battlefield and said leisurely, "There are three fronts right now! Liu Zhaoji on the eastern front has already provided us with sixteen thousand cavalry, so we cannot possibly spare any more troops from the east."
"To capture Jinzhou, we must take Nanshan! I hardly need to elaborate on the importance of Nanshan, do I? The Governor-General in the center is currently commanding the troops in an all-out assault on Nanshan! Diverting troops from the central front at this moment will not only disrupt the situation there, but could even decide the victory or defeat of the entire Liaodong campaign!"
"Therefore... the only thing we can do is rely on our own strength to hold the western front while we wait for the Governor-General to take Nanshan!"
