Story:
In 945 AD, the Khitan army besieged the Later Jin forces in Yangcheng. The Later Jin army's supplies were cut off, and they were isolated, facing extreme hardships and unstable morale.
General Fu Yanqing, a man of courage and strategy, suggested to his commanders Zhang Yanze and Huangfu Yu that rather than passively waiting to be captured, it would be better to fight to the death. He analyzed the opportune timing, favorable terrain, and human elements, then led a surprise attack by circling around the Khitan army's rear, ultimately securing a victory.
