Judgment of Dayu.

Summary

Bai Wa was about to meet the chief of the Huaishan Clan when martial arts experts reported to Grand Minister Xia Qi that Tie Wa had recovered from his injuries, thanks to the skilled Medicine Master Cai Yao Xian Weng. Xia Qi was pleased, as this meant they could better assist their injured soldiers. Cai Yao Xian Weng's reputation grew as he healed many soldiers and officials in Jun Tai City, contrasting with the Guandou army's high casualty rate due to their lack of skilled medical support. The Guandou army, despite having numerical strength, faced declining military effectiveness and struggled to maintain supply lines while besieging Jun Tai City. The Xiahou Clan decided to avoid direct engagement until Tie Wa fully recovered, opting for a war of attrition. As the Guandou army concentrated their forces on Jun Tai City, they attempted to use feigned attacks to cover their supply convoy movements. The court's main camp learned the Guandou army's patterns, but due to Tie Wa's condition, they refrained from engaging. The Guandou army's relentless assaults exhausted the defenders, leading to a critical shortage of supplies. Recognizing the Guandou army's dwindling resources, the Xiahou martial arts experts proposed an attack on the enemy's naval camp rather than a direct assault on their main camp. They organized a surprise attack with thirty thousand troops, including forces from Tie Wa's camp, targeting the Guandou navy while they were unprepared during dinner. The assault caused chaos in the Guandou navy camp, leading to a fierce battle where many soldiers were killed or fled in panic, while the court's army seized the opportunity to inflict significant damage.
