She knocked him unconscious with a karate chop and threw him to the soldier behind her, ordering him to guard him.
The 1,000 infantrymen of the first battalion and the 500 men of the vanguard had already taken up their weapons and lay in ambush in the woods around the camp, ready to trap them like turtles in a jar.
At Xia Yixin's command, 1,500 Tiger and Leopard Division soldiers sneaked into the military camp like ghosts.
The dozing guards were the first to be knocked down, and many of the sleeping Beiming soldiers were awakened and knocked unconscious with their mouths covered before they could even shout.
In the blink of an eye, a third of the soldiers in the tent had been subdued. At that moment, a Beiming soldier who had gotten up in the night realized something was wrong and shouted in terror, "Enemy attack! Enemy attack!!"
This loud shout completely stirred up a hornet's nest.
Many of the Beiming soldiers who had just fled from their tents couldn't tell whether the people running around outside were friend or foe. Moreover, their legs were weak from days of diarrhea, and they were almost immediately pinned down by the Tiger and Leopard Division soldiers.
"Don't kill me! Don't kill me!" The skinny Beiming soldier screamed, clutching his head, but to his surprise, the well-equipped soldier simply tied his hands to a nearby pillar and then ran to grab another Beiming soldier.
The soldiers of the Tiger and Leopard Division were playing a game of tag, grabbing chicks without even using their weapons. They caught them and tied them up immediately.
"Surrender and you will not be killed! Surrender and you will not be killed!"
The deafening shouts echoed through the night sky.
The sound of clashing weapons lasted for less than a few minutes before it disappeared. Without their commander and under attack, the 50,000 soldiers collapsed in an instant.
At this point, the entire operation, from start to finish, took less than half an hour!
Aside from those who resisted and were killed, not a single one of the 50,000 soldiers was able to escape the camp. The well-prepared encirclement trapped them like dumplings, while Xia Yixin's side suffered zero casualties, with only a dozen or so minor injuries.
Such figures are hard to believe, but she actually did it, which can only be attributed to a confluence of favorable circumstances.
After daybreak, the tent that originally belonged to Prince Rui had completely changed owners. After Xia Yixin took stock of the "inventory" here, she could only praise Prince Rui, saying that the "delivery" was exceptionally well done.
It was enough food for 50,000 troops for a week, and enough for their 5,000 men for a month with some left over, not to mention their fine armor and weapons. It was just a pity that Prince Rui also had the idea of a sneak attack, and the entire camp only had a little over a hundred warhorses.
After dawn.
When the main force arrived, the more than 40,000 remaining soldiers were scattered and tied up, and were also given sleeping pills prepared by Xia Yixin, so they couldn't wake up for a while.
