Call of the Heroes of Chaos in Another World

Chapter 2448 Black Tooth's Night Raid, The Three Sun Generals

During the day, even Yagyu Muneken, the most powerful general in the Sun Kingdom, was unable to defeat Huang Feng, so there was no need for the Sun Kingdom to send any other generals to take action.

Therefore, this duel ended inconclusively for both sides.

The Sun Kingdom then withdrew its troops and returned to camp, waiting for the main force to arrive before making further moves.

As night fell, the setting sun finally sank completely below the horizon, shrouding the wilderness in darkness, with only a few stars and a crescent moon casting their cool light.

In the Han army camp, the oppressive atmosphere brought about by Yagyu Muneken's challenge during the day had not completely dissipated, but the central command tent was already brightly lit.

Hei Chi Changzhi summoned several trusted generals, including Huang Feng, Wu Changkong, and Zhao Yun. He traced his finger across the map and finally pointed heavily to the location marked as the vanguard camp of the Sun Kingdom.

Hei Chi Changzhi slowly spoke, “Generals, although Yagyu Muneken did not gain any advantage today, the Japanese army has just arrived and is full of arrogance. They must have assumed that our army consists mostly of new recruits and dare not take the initiative to attack, so their defenses will definitely be lax.”

He looked around at his generals and continued, "Our new recruits certainly need training, but that's precisely why we need a victory to boost morale and sharpen our skills!"

"The enemy is arrogant, so we will do the opposite. Tonight at midnight, while they are still establishing their foothold and their troops are exhausted, our army will launch a night attack on their camp!"

With most of his own troops being new recruits, Hei Chi Chang Zhi must try every possible way to seize every advantage in order to make up for his weaknesses to the greatest extent possible.

Now, the enemy only has a vanguard, and the main force has not yet fully arrived. This is a rare opportunity for him to gain more advantages.

Upon hearing this, Huang Feng's eyes flashed with excitement. The restrained duel with Yagyu Muneken during the day had left him seething with anger. He immediately clasped his hands and said, "General, you are wise! This humble general is willing to be the vanguard!"

Zhao Yun, Wu Changkong, and other generals were also eager to participate and expressed their agreement. Exploiting the enemy's blind spots and launching a surprise attack with new recruits as the main force was indeed a risky move, but it could also yield surprising results.

Moreover, none of the generals present were afraid of trouble.

They're just a vanguard force; let alone a night raid, they wouldn't be afraid to fight them head-on.

"Good!" Hei Chi Changzhi slammed his hand on the table. "Huang Feng, you will lead a thousand elite infantrymen, carrying plenty of oil and tinder, and approach silently from the front. Once you've stormed into the enemy camp, just create as much chaos as possible!"

"Your subordinate obeys!"

"General Wu, General Zhao, lead two thousand cavalrymen to accompany me in the rearguard action. Once the enemy camp is thrown into chaos, then the entire army will advance to expand our gains! Remember, the purpose of this battle is to dampen the enemy's morale. Do not linger in the fighting; know when to retreat and strike and leave!" Hei Chi Changzhi continued to give orders.

Since it was a night raid, he naturally couldn't bring too many men; three thousand men were just right.

After all, if it were a large-scale mobilization, unless the scouts of the Sun Kingdom were all blind, there would be no way to hide it from the other side.

In that case, the purpose of a night raid would be lost.

Furthermore, most of his troops were new recruits. Taking these new recruits on a night raid was just ridiculous.

"Yes, sir!" Zhao Yun and Wu Changkong stepped forward in unison. The order was given swiftly, and a tense and secretive mobilization began in the Han army camp. Soldiers checked their weapons, tightened their armor, wrapped their horses' hooves with thick cloth, and prepared supplies such as oil and kindling.

As midnight approached, all was quiet. Huang Feng led a thousand elite troops, like a stream flowing in the dark night, and silently left the camp. Taking advantage of the terrain and the cover of darkness, they stealthily made their way towards the enemy camp in the distance, where the faint glow of campfires could be seen.

On the Japanese side, it's impossible for them to really let their guard down. Most of their generals, unless they're incompetent, wouldn't let their guard down to any extent; at the very least, they would maintain the necessary vigilance and patrols.

As for night raids, the worst thing is not that the other side maintains basic vigilance, but that the other side anticipates that we will launch a night raid and thus sets up an ambush in advance.

As long as you don't get ambushed, even if the enemy's defenses are tight, at most you'll just return empty-handed, or at worst you'll simply turn back and go home if you can't find an opportunity.

Therefore, when Huang Feng led this group of men closer under the cover of night, and observed that the enemy camp had basic defenses by the light of the campfires in the distance, Huang Feng felt somewhat relieved.

A cold glint flashed in Huang Feng's eyes, and he suddenly waved his hand!

Dozens of agile scouts moved out like ghosts, quickly taking out the visible and hidden sentries on the perimeter using the shadows and tents as cover.

"Let's do it!"

With a low shout from Huang Feng, countless arrows soaked in oil were ignited and shot towards the enemy camp's tents like a meteor shower!
At the same time, the soldiers threw the oil canisters they were carrying with all their might!
"boom!"

The flames erupted almost instantly, and the tents near the edge of the camp immediately became the best fuel. With the help of the wind, the fire quickly spread into the camp.

"Enemy attack! Han army night raid!!"

The piercing alarm blared, and the panicked shouts and screams of the Japanese soldiers filled the air!
"kill!"

Huang Feng took the lead, wielding a poisoned steel fork, like a tiger among sheep, and wherever he went, soldiers of the Sun Kingdom fell to the ground.

A thousand elite Han soldiers followed closely behind, rampaging through the chaotic enemy camp, killing anyone they saw and burning any tents they encountered!
At the same time, Hei Chi Changzhi saw the enemy camp ablaze with fire and the earth-shaking shouts of battle from afar. Knowing that the time had come, he immediately led two thousand iron cavalry to press forward, like a flood bursting its banks, rushing towards the vanguard army camp of the Sun Kingdom!
"Damn it, what on earth is going on?"

"Why would the Han army attack our camp? What are the scouts doing?" The commander of the vanguard army of the Sun Kingdom looked at the fire that was spreading rapidly inside the camp and said with annoyance.

"Yagyu-kun, Honda-kun, Minamoto-kun, the three of you lead the main force's personal guards to hold off the enemy general!"

"Uesugi-kun, go and reorganize the troops!" After grumbling, the commander of the Sun Kingdom quickly gave the order.

Yagyu Munekazu, Honda Tadakatsu, and Minamoto no Yorimitsu were the three strongest generals in his camp. It was most appropriate to have the three of them lead the personal guards to block the enemy and buy them time to reorganize their troops.

While Uesugi Kenshin was also quite skilled, he was better at commanding troops than charging into battle. Therefore, the task of reorganizing the chaotic troops in various parts of the camp was more suitable for him.

After receiving the orders, the generals quickly led their troops away. However, although the Japanese side had reacted as quickly as possible.

At this moment, the vanguard camp of the Sun Kingdom was in complete chaos due to the combined efforts of several fierce generals of the Han Dynasty.
