I, a useless prince, started with the Xiang Yu template.

In the darkness of night.

The world was pitch black.

The north wind howled, scattering the wild grass in all directions.

The wind howled, drowning out the faint sound of the horse's hooves.

Chu Yun led two hundred cavalrymen into a low-lying ravine.

The gully was overgrown with weeds on both sides, and the terrain was hidden.

The group lowered their profile, and the horses slowed their pace.

The horses' hooves, wrapped in coarse cloth, made almost no sound as they trod on the soft mud and weeds.

We took a long, roundabout route.

From the north of Jing'an City, we circled around to the rear of the barbarian army camp.

They proceeded with extreme caution, avoiding several groups of hidden sentries on the perimeter.

The march went very smoothly and was not discovered by anyone.

Ma Dong followed beside Chu Yun and spoke in a low voice.

"Your Highness, the wind has picked up again."

"The wind is raging tonight, and the food and tents are made of dry straw and burlap, so they'll catch fire at the slightest touch."

"It seems like even God is on our side."

Chu Yun stared straight ahead, his eyes cold and unwavering.

He gave his earnest instructions.

"Ma Dong, remember this."

"No matter what happens later, don't hesitate, just charge forward."

"I'll lead the way and clear the obstacles for you."

"Tonight, we must burn down the barbarian army's supply camp."

Ma Dong's expression hardened, and he nodded emphatically.

"Yes, Your Highness!"

He immediately turned his head, lowered his voice, and quickly gave orders to the cavalry behind him.

"Attention everyone! Draw your swords! Stabilize your horses! Be ready to charge!"

The two hundred cavalrymen behind him nodded in unison.

Grip the knife handle tightly and press your body against the horse's back.

Everyone held their breath, preparing for a fight to the death.

The group moved slowly along the ravine, bypassing the low-lying area, where dense bushes lay ahead.

A strong wind swept through the grass and trees, making a rustling sound.

The chaotic sounds perfectly masked the movement of the men and horses.

The darkness provided cover, and the sound of the wind served as a shield.

Everyone hid in the darkness and quietly approached the rear camp.

The further they went, the closer they got to the barbarian army's camp.

Every cavalryman present felt their heart pounding involuntarily.

My palms are sweating, and my nerves are on edge.

A sense of tension weighed on everyone's mind.

Just then.

Suddenly, a patrol of barbarian soldiers emerged from around the corner ahead.

A dozen or so people, armed with curved knives, slowly patrolled the rear.

The two groups collided head-on in an instant.

The air suddenly froze.

The barbarian patrolmen were all stunned.

They stared wide-eyed at the row of men in black before them.

In the pitch-black night, their faces were obscured, but their chilling murderous aura was palpable.

The lead barbarian soldier reacted the fastest, his face turning deathly pale as he opened his mouth and roared.

"Damn! Enemies!"

"Quick! Blow the whistle! Sound the alarm! Someone's attacking!"

A sharp alarm whistle instantly ripped through the darkness.

The whistle was piercing, cutting through the wind and carrying throughout the rear camp.

Chu Yun's eyes sharpened, and he shouted the order.

"Charge! Kill!"

At a command.

Two hundred cavalrymen squeezed their legs tightly against the horses' bellies.

The warhorse, which had been moving slowly, suddenly accelerated.

Hooves pounded the mud, and two hundred cavalrymen charged out under the cover of night.

Chu Yun took the lead, his Overlord Spear flashing with a cold light.

A dozen or so patrolling barbarian soldiers were coming towards them, before they could even form a battle formation.

Pfft, pfft.

Several soft sounds were heard in succession.

The five barbarian soldiers who approached him didn't even have time to finish their screams before they fell to the ground and died.

[Ding! Five barbarian soldiers have been killed, gaining five attribute points.]

A system voice sounded.

Chu Yun didn't pause at all; a thought flashed through his mind.

Allocate all five attribute points directly to Physique.

A slight surge of heat flowed through his body in an instant, further enhancing his endurance, explosive power, and resistance to blows.

at the same time.

The piercing alarm completely woke up the barbarian troops in the rear.

The tents in the rear camp were suddenly flung open.

Countless disheveled barbarian soldiers rushed out in a panic, carrying their weapons.

Someone rubbed their eyes, muttering curses under their breath.

"Damn it! What's going on? Why are you whistling in the middle of the night?"

"How dare the Qian army raid our camp in the middle of the night? Are they out of their minds?"

"Brothers, grab your weapons! Let's kill them!"

"Kill these treacherous traitors!"

A chaotic mix of angry curses and shouts mingled together.

The number of barbarian soldiers grew, pouring out of various tents and converging towards the direction of the sound.

Chu Yun glanced around and roared loudly.

"Soldiers, ignore the fodder soldiers! Don't linger in battle!"

"Everyone, stay close to me! Charge forward! Straight to the supply depot!"

He turned his horse around and pointed his spear.

Two hundred cavalrymen gritted their teeth and followed closely behind.

The black iron cavalry, like a sharp dagger, pierced through the chaotic rear camp of the barbarian army.

Chu Yun took the lead, his Overlord Spear sweeping across all directions.

Barbarian soldiers surged in from all directions, layer upon layer, blocking the way.

But no one could stop him from firing a single shot.

The spear tip pierced the flesh, and the shaft smashed the bones.

Any barbarian soldier who got close to him would either die on the spot or be seriously injured and sent flying.

The cold glint of the gun flashed continuously in the darkness.

Two hundred cavalrymen behind him witnessed firsthand how valiant their prince was.

The fear in my heart dissipated almost entirely in an instant.

Instead, there was fervor and passion.

The cavalrymen gritted their teeth and growled, brandishing their short swords and hacking their way through the enemy lines.

No one retreated, no one fell behind.

Along the way, barbarian soldiers who tried to stop them fell in droves.

Not long after.

The group fought their way through the enemy lines and stormed into the barbarian army's supply camp.

Look around.

Countless sacks were piled up like mountains, and tall stacks of grain stretched as far as the eye could see.

Hay, grain sacks, carts, and tents were crammed together densely.

The cavalrymen moved with lightning speed, flipping over to one side.

Take out the bamboo tube of kerosene tied to the side of the saddle.

Unscrew the cork and splash it forcefully.

Oil was poured onto the grain sacks and hay.

Someone took out dry tinder and quickly lit it.

Flames shot up.

"Hurry up! Be quick!"

"Don't linger, start the fire right away!"

"The barbarian soldiers are about to surround us!"

Everyone worked quickly and efficiently, not daring to waste even a second.

When dried grain and straw come into contact with kerosene, the flames instantly escalate.

In addition, there will be a fierce northerly wind tonight.

The wind fuels the fire, and the fire amplifies the wind's power.

A raging fire shot into the sky, its orange-red flames rolling and leaping, illuminating the entire dark night.

A wave of scorching heat hit you, making your cheeks burn.

Thick black smoke billowed into the night sky, and the flames dyed half the horizon red.

The barbarian army's provisions, which they had accumulated over many days, were instantly engulfed in flames.

Chu Yun looked up at the raging flames, but didn't stop for a moment.

He roared in a deep voice, "All troops retreat! Assemble immediately! Break out of the encirclement!"

The two hundred cavalrymen immediately abandoned their plan to light the fire, turned their horses around, and quickly moved towards Chu Yun's location to assemble.

now.

The barbarian army finally realized what was happening.

Barbarian soldiers from all directions surged toward the supply camp.

Footsteps, roars, and curses rose and fell in waves.

Dust billowed in the distance as a large number of armed barbarian soldiers rapidly approached.

Ma Dong was covered in blood, panting heavily, his face full of excitement.

He rushed to Chu Yun's side and shouted, "Your Highness! We succeeded!"

Chu Yun's eyes were icy as he surveyed the approaching barbarian army and spoke in a stern voice.

Don't be too happy yet.

"It's easy to get in, but hard to get out."

"The real test is yet to come."

"Everyone, listen up! Tighten your formation, don't linger! Follow me and charge out with all your might!"

Ma Dong's expression hardened, and he immediately gave the order.

Rows of cavalrymen gripped their weapons tightly, lowered their bodies, and glared fiercely.

Outside the grain camp.

A high-ranking general of the barbarian army galloped in on horseback.

He watched the raging fire and the burning grain stacks.

His pupils were bloodshot, his veins were bulging, and he was completely blinded by rage.

He drew his scimitar and roared.

"Charge! All of you, charge!"

"Chop these dried-up dogs into mincemeat! Leave no one alive!"

"Damn it! These bastards dared to raid our supplies at night! I'll skin them alive!"

Countless barbarian soldiers surrounded them from all directions, blocking Chu Yun and his group's retreat.
