It seems these Japanese are very smart.
"Marshal, since Danbo City has not collapsed, we might as well retreat." Jia Xu suggested.
Everyone was puzzled as to why Jia Xu came up with this plan.
"Why?"
"General, Tamba City has little food, which is why such a brutal act has occurred. The Japanese are cruel by nature. 30 million people are in Tamba City. Although their morale is inferior to ours, if we attack by force, even if we capture Tamba City, we will suffer heavy losses."
Jia Xu analyzed and everyone nodded.

"The current situation is advantageous to me. When the Japanese in Tamba City run out of food, even if we don't attack, they will find an opportunity to leave the city and fight us to the death.
Even if we win, we will still be exhausted, and we need to be cautious when going deep into the heart of Japan; and if we lose, the Japanese can reorganize their army, enter our territory of Daxia, and place the battlefield within our Daxia.
Since we know their food supply is running low, it's better not to attack, avoiding their desperate counterattacks and leaving them unable to attack or retreat, struggling to death. For this small island nation, we only need to deplete its national strength, and victory will be assured."

Bai Qi ordered the entire army to return to Izumo Castle, digging trenches and blocking roads and bridges along the way.
The Japanese fortified their defenses and cleared the countryside, so Bai Qi helped them do it again.
