Surprisingly is the 239th chapter of the Kingdom manga, written and illustrated by Yasuhisa Hara.
Summary
As rain pours at Wei's headquarters, Wei Commander-in-Chief Haku Ki Sai is informed that they were under attack, and that the Qin were at their headquarters. Haku Ki Sai is surprised, and demands to know which army it is. He hears that the Kan Ki Army had appeared with roughly 4,000 men, and it was highly likely that more were hidden in the mountains behind them. Rai Do and his men slowly approach the Wei headquarters. Haku Ki Sai recognizes Kan Ki as the man who slew Gen Pou, and wonders what is going on, since Kan Ki should have been fighting Kai Shi Bou.
He dismisses his thoughts and orders his men rallied to the bottom of their hill, ordering them to hold the Qin back from the very first wave, and not let them break into their base. The narrator explains that after Gen Pou's death, the Kan Ki main army had shown themselves in the rear mountains, and had been pursued by the Kai Shi Bou army which was able to deal great damage to them, although Kan Ki himself was no where to be found. After being unable to find Kan Ki, Kai Shi Bou would change targets and aim for Qin's headquarters, while Kan Ki would make his way to the Wei headquarters with a detachment of 4000 soldiers.
Morale remains high at the Wei headquarters, desperately trying to hold back Rai Do's men from climbing up the hill to their headquarters. Kan Ki smiles as he watches the scene from being the Wei, having already infiltrated his way inside the Wei headquarters. The 4,000 Qin men had made their presence known only after Kan Ki and his small group had infiltrated, to draw Wei's troops to the bottom. After watching the Wei troops rush down, Kan Ki turns and sets his sights on the top of the hill.
After a short amount of time, Kan Ki stands at the summit of the hill used as Wei headquarters, with the Wei leaders tied up and forced to kneel in front of him. Some of Kan Ki's men call for more oil to be spread, to help prevent the fire from Wei's burning flags from dying out in the rain. Shortly after, a soldier reports to Kan Ki that all the Wei troops below them had surrendered. Kan Ki compliments Rai Do for doing a good job, and turns his attention to Haku Ki Sai.
