I think the plan was for Mercury to defeat Yang, then kill the 0% Aura Yang or capture her with the ambulance. That way, the audience would be outraged, they'd have eliminated one enemy, and Mercury can still escape later to assist the team in other things.

Because Yang won, they had to improvise and go to plan B. Plan B's results are not as impressive: Yang is still going to hinder their plans, and Mercury is out of commission (has to hide to maintain illusion that he has been crippled).
