Three Kingdoms: Domination of the World

In the Han army camp, Taishi Ci and Yuwen Tai still had about 6 combat-ready soldiers under their command. They were on guard against any night raid by the enemy.

The Xianbei Yuwen Tai's tribe still had about 7 elite Xianbei soldiers, who were also on high alert and did not dare to relax at all.

"The most tiring time is also the most dangerous time for our army. We must increase patrols at night and not let the enemy take advantage of any loopholes." Yuwen Tai warned.

"I obey your command!" Shi Dakai, Chen Sheng, An Lushan and other Xianbei generals responded in unison.

Now, Suo Chao's 5 reinforcements are coming quickly. Among them, 1 Japanese soldiers are short in stature but agile in movement, with cunning eyes; 1 Qiang soldiers are strong in physique and have rough faces; and 3 Han soldiers are arranged in neat rows and march with firm steps.

Wu Qi's Art of War emphasizes the use of both the surprising and the conventional. The so-called "surprise" refers to the use of unexpected tactics that break with convention. Suo Chao's outflanking move, which cut off Yuwen Tai's retreat and supply lines, can be described as "surprise."

"Zheng" refers to conventional, positive military forces and tactical arrangements. The offensive battle between Zhao Yun and General Taishi Ci can be described as "Zheng".

"Master Imperial Master, how should we deploy our troops tonight?" Deputy General Qi Chao walked up to Suo Chao, saluted with his fists, and asked respectfully.

"The enemy has been fighting fiercely for a day and is physically and mentally exhausted. Tonight at midnight we can do this..." Suo Chao narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze deep and firm. He lowered his voice and gave orders in an orderly manner.

Yuwen Tai was a powerful figure, and the Han army had suffered greatly from him during years of Xianbei raids. Whenever the Han soldiers recalled those brutal battles, a lingering fear filled their faces. However, the city defenses in Suo Chao's jurisdiction were impenetrable, and renowned generals manned the various border fortresses, preventing their fall.

Suo Chao dispatched two Japanese maids, Xue Ji and Yu Luo, to deliver a letter to Zhao Yun and Taishi Ci overnight, agreeing to launch a joint attack on Yuwen Tai's forces at midnight. They had been training with the two ladies in Yue women's swordsmanship for years and were quite skilled.

As the night deepened, all was silent. As midnight approached, the Han camp was utterly serene, only the occasional echo of patrol footsteps echoed. Xue Ji and Yu Luo moved through the shadows like ghosts, easily avoiding the enemy sentries.

They each approached Zhao Yun and Taishi Ci's tents and knocked gently. The door opened a crack, and the two men peered in warily. Xue Ji handed over Suo Chao's secret letter, and Taishi Ci's eyes flashed with excitement after reading it.

"Great! The reinforcements from the Imperial Master have arrived." Zhao Yun said excitedly.

"Yes! We have finally waited for this moment!" Taishi Ci said in a low voice.

Zhao Yun and Taishi Ci, both unable to sleep today due to heavy losses, happened to meet up. Zhao Yun accepted the secret letter, checked the enemy camp map again, signaled the two women to go back and rest, then summoned all the generals to deploy the battle plan.

......

Just after midnight, Suo Chao, clad in black nightgown, performed a feat of miraculous speed and the power of "transformation," sneaking into the Xianbei forage camp like a ghost. He held his breath, carefully approaching, his eyes etched with determination. When he reached the pile of forage, he quickly lit a fire and threw it onto the grain, sending flames soaring into the sky.

The flash of fire in the Xianbei camp was the agreed-upon attack signal. Three armies of 11 Han soldiers launched a night assault like a surging tide. Their eyes widened, their faces filled with murderous intent, their mouths shouting earth-shaking slogans, they rushed towards Yuwen Tai's camp like tigers descending from the mountains.

The Japanese soldiers were nimble, like nimble monkeys, using their agility to weave freely through the enemy lines. Their eyes gleamed with excitement as they quickly broke through the enemy lines.

"Bakayarō, the time to achieve great things is now. I want to get rid of slavery completely." Yamamoto Futari roared.

The Qiang soldiers were all muscular and had ferocious looks on their faces. They wielded huge battle axes, and every swing was accompanied by a whistling sound. They were extremely fierce, as if they wanted to crush the enemy.

"We Qiang men are never willing to lag behind others." Beigong Zecheng shouted.

The main force of the Han army followed closely behind, marching in neat, powerful steps, each step slamming heavily on the ground and kicking up a cloud of dust. Their eyes burned with blazing fighting spirit, and their momentum was like a rainbow, as if they could break through all obstacles.

Qi Chao led the charge, holding high his gleaming sword, which shone coldly in the moonlight. His eyes widened, veins bulging on his forehead as he shouted commands, his voice resonant like a bell: "Soldiers, charge! Our reinforcements are here!"

When the soldiers heard his cry, infinite courage and strength surged in their hearts. They gripped their weapons tightly, gritted their teeth, and rushed forward desperately, shouting passionate slogans with a look of fearlessness in their faces.

After burning the Xianbei army's food supplies, Suo Chao once again activated his "Eye of Truth" to immediately locate Yuwen Tai. After a while, he locked onto Yuwen Tai's tent and charged straight for it.

"A stunning shot!"

"Total Annihilation!"

......

Yuwen Tai was startled awake from his sleep. He sat up abruptly, his eyes filled with fear and anger. He hurriedly donned his armor and organized a resistance. However, facing the Han army's surprise attack, his face turned pale and his heart was in great panic. At this time, the Xianbei camp was under siege from three directions, and the formation was in chaos.
