A thousand-year-old family begins with one fighting against ten thousand.

But these two kids, or rather, these young people, thought war was too simple and underestimated their opponent.

In the very next instant after they redeployed their men, the change in the strength of the fortified camp on the city wall was reported to the resolute-faced man.

"They're preparing for a night raid, getting ready in advance; there might even be some unexpected surprises."

"It seems the other side's commander is a young man. Given his personality, he probably won't be able to hold back for more than two or three days."

A smile played on the man's lips; perhaps he could complete his mission and return home sooner.

There's no fun in letting kids play house here.

After arranging the supplies for his men that evening, he continued reading his military treatise.

"King Chungmu's wisdom is indeed beyond the reach of ordinary people. This book, 'On War,' provides a penetrating description of war, with every word a gem. It covers five thousand years of history, and perhaps only the 'I Ching' can compare with it."

"Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful, truly wonderful!"

"After reading this book, and looking back at my past self, I feel like a child who only knew how to act blindly, knowing what to do but not why."

On the other hand, a few days later.

"We have been on the defensive for the past two days. Now the Tang army must think that we only know how to defend and not how to attack, so they are less vigilant. This is a great opportunity for us to attack."

Huang Yi's face was filled with excitement. It was the first time he had personally participated in the battlefield and personally laid out such a grand plan. He was about to achieve great results and prove himself in front of his fathers. How could he not be excited?

"If we launch a night attack tonight, we're sure to achieve a great victory!"

"good!"

"Do as you say. Order the soldiers to rest and recuperate, and set off at midnight tonight for a night raid on the enemy camp!"

"Uncle Zheng, the daytime attack must proceed as before; we absolutely cannot let the enemy detect anything unusual."

Zhang Chong made the decision, then instructed Zheng Hu that this was his first step in making a name for himself, and he absolutely would not allow anyone to sabotage it.

"yes!"

Zheng Hu responded and then withdrew to arrange the city's defenses for the day.

"Was there anything unusual happening on the city walls today?"

"Judging by the time, those two young men should be getting impatient by now."

The resolute-looking man asked the question to his adjutant beside him.

The lieutenant shook his head. "General, there's been no change whatsoever."

The man nodded. "You're not completely brainless."

A sense of admiration rose in his heart for the two young men in the city; although they were inexperienced, they were quite clever.

With proper guidance in the future, he might become a great talent.

It's just a pity that they belonged to the rebels.

Over the past two days, he had already thoroughly investigated the situation in the city, and naturally knew Zhang Chong and Huang Yi very well.

However, these two men, one being the son of the leader of the rebel alliance in the northern frontier and the other the son of the leader's top general, both had extremely special identities, making it impossible for them to surrender. Even if they did surrender, the imperial court would not accept them.

"What a pity."

He shook his head, not really paying attention.

After all, things like this are nothing new.

The world has never lacked geniuses; what it lacks are geniuses who have the opportunity to grow up smoothly.

In the end, who isn't a genius?

Both being geniuses, this little guy named Huang Yi is only qualified to see his back.

However, it was his father, Huang Ce, who commanded his attention.

"Make the arrangements. Keep a close eye on the four gates of Yunzhou City. I estimate the night raid will take place in the next day or two. Let's see if we can catch a big fish."

"yes!"

The lieutenant had complete faith in the judgment made by the man in front of him.

This man had already proven his ability with countless victories. His name was Li Guangbi, the direct disciple of the contemporary Prince Wu'an. He had made outstanding military achievements and his fame spread far and wide.

In the dead of night, Li Guangbi's tent was suddenly opened.

"My lord, there is unusual activity at the west gate of Yunzhou City. It is suspected that cavalry have left the city."

Li Guangbi's deputy came in, woke Li Guangbi, and reported.

"understood."

Li Guangbi's eyes instantly sharpened from a dazed look. "Give the order: keep the exterior relaxed but the interior tight. Follow the pre-arranged plan, lure the enemy deep inside, and don't expose yourself prematurely or scare them away."

"yes!"

The deputy general accepted the order and left. Li Guangbi put on his battle armor, walked out of the tent, and personally inspected the network of cables he had laid.

After repeated confirmation, all the net cables were in good working order. All we had to do was wait for the fish to go deep into the center of the net before we could pull it in and catch them all!

"General, the target army has reached the network and is advancing deeper."

Soon, a scout reported the latest battle report to Li Guangbi. Li Guangbi, once again, began reading his military treatise. Upon hearing the report, he nodded slightly and said nothing more.

The scouts respectfully withdrew, and through the open tent flap, they could vaguely see the firelight burning outside.

The Yunzhou army had already stormed into the outermost part of the camp. After entering the camp, they did not pursue killing the enemy, but only set fires and caused chaos.

Caught off guard by their "surprise attack," the Tang army was thrown into disarray.

They seized the opportunity to break in and set fire to the grain. The entire Tang army camp was engulfed in flames, and soldiers were everywhere carrying and shouting. Some soldiers were putting out fires, some were dressing, and others were trying to reorganize the army.

But all of this seemed so fragile under the onslaught of the Yunzhou army.

"Charge! Kill!"

The shouts of 30,000 men echoed through the sky. In the darkness, they did not notice that apart from burning some useless tents, the grain they burned seemed to be only a thin layer, with dry grass and branches underneath.

Moreover, they caused very few casualties. Although the Tang army appeared to be in chaos, they actually suffered no damage.

They even considered expanding their gains and attacking the Tang army's central camp.

"The defenses that have been quickly erected over there must be where the central army is located. Brothers, charge!"

"The young master once gave an order: whoever captures or kills the enemy's commander-in-chief will be rewarded with a thousand gold pieces and promoted three ranks!"

"Brothers, charge! Kill them!"

Li Guangbi deliberately let them discover the location of the central army camp in order to lure them into being greedy for merit and advancing recklessly, thus drawing them into his trap.

As Li Guangbi had predicted, the Yunzhou army rushed over as soon as they discovered the location of the central camp.

This was exactly what Li Guangbi had set up.

When they reached the location of the central army camp, a group of chariots suddenly appeared in front of them, blocking their way.

When they tried to take a detour, they found that large numbers of enemy troops were surging in from all directions.

Moreover, these enemy troops were faced with all sorts of chariots and gun formations, which prevented the cavalry from fully utilizing their greatest advantage.

If cavalrymen can't run, they become sitting ducks, completely at the mercy of their enemies.

A barrage of arrows rained down on the cavalry, and riders continued to die in the battle.
