There are three principles to launching an attack: night raid, stealth raid, and surprise assault.
Launching a stealthy attack at night is the basic principle. First of all, initiating an attack at night is the most fundamental rule which must not change. Then comes the question of whether to transition from stealth to surprise.
A stealth raid, huh? Hit them quietly and then run, without getting too entangled with the enemy. But if you want to expand the victory and maximize success, you still need to penetrate the enemy's core and cause as much chaos as possible while intertwined with them.
A stealth attack also allows for easier retreat. But once you've stormed into enemy territory, it's not guaranteed that you can withdraw. Therefore, according to Gao Yuan's plan, a night raid is the basic premise, a stealth raid is the goal of this mission, and a surprise assault depends on how the situation unfolds.
