On the basis of correctly forecasting situations, the balance of power between our forces and the enemy’s, and the guideline of “surrounding citadels, destroying reinforcements,” the insurgents did not concentrate all of their strength on attacking the Citadel of Dong Quan but left part of their troops to besiege the Citadel and deployed the majority of their force to annihilate the reinforcements. On realising this plan, the Insurgents Command established a solid, interconnected, in-depth posture to engage the enemy in Chi Lang – Xuong Giang.
