One of the Manchu Qing's tried and tested tactics against the Ming Dynasty's official troops was to besiege a point and attack its reinforcements.
Regardless of whether there are heavy artillery or not, the Qing Dynasty will adopt this tactic as long as the city is not easy to capture.
Because the losses in siege warfare, especially against a city with a strong will to defend, would be huge, and the Manchus had few people, so they would adopt the strategy of besieging a point and attacking the reinforcements. The advantage they took advantage of was that they were invincible in field battles.
Whether before or after the Qing Dynasty entered the Pass, this principle was generally followed.
The same is true of the Battle of Xuanfu this time.
