The tactics Xia Xi and Ubuyashiki had settled on earlier were, in a sense, a variation on Tian Ji's horse racing strategy.
First, they would hold back the enemy's strongest horse-the six-eyed one.
They would deploy the Nine Hashira, who were stronger than the other Upper Ranks, and Provisional Hashira, who were stronger than the Lower Ranks.
They would defeat the Twelve Kizuki one by one.

Killing a dozen or so demons in succession.
Could still provide experience comparable to a Lower Rank.
Of course, even the small fry... should be dragged into range for the puppets to finish off, if conditions allowed.
As Xia Xi saw it, he wanted the gold from the important kills in lane.
But he could not neglect the gold from minion waves and the jungle, either.
Any battle where the weak defeated the strong.

Even an ordinary swordsman was a fine crop to harv-what Xia Xi meant was that ordinary members' lives were very important, too.
Once someone had received his personal instruction, even if it was just theoretical knowledge he had spouted.
As long as they
