I'd say applying small factions of guerrillas to harass the enemy from the rear and along the flank while mobilizing the rest of the army at the targeted city to wait for the exhausted enemy is faithful to describe his tactics in general, because that's exactly what he did during Battle of Taiyuan, which Yan eventually lost due to inferiority in tech and the overwhelming hordes of enemies. However the Japanese suffered heavy casualties and was not able to take Yan's warlord faction down or cease control of the entire Shanxi. After the fall of Taiyuan Yan majorly resorted to frontier guerrilla tactics to defend his controlled territory (remaining of Shanxi).
