Xiahou Ba is a doer, he does what he says, and has no intention of delaying.

According to Guo Huai's opinion, it will be late at this time, it is better to make a decision on how to attack after finding out the situation tomorrow, but Xiahou Ba disagreed, and said: "Now that our army has first arrived here, the Shu people have not yet discovered it, if we camp and settle down, wouldn't it be a long night and a lot of dreams, if once the Shu people find out here, wouldn't we be very passive?" ”

Xiahou Ba left Guo Huai's army, took more than a dozen personal soldiers, and went straight to Huaishu Pass.

The Huaishu Pass is dangerous, the Fugu Road zigzags all the way to the south, and when it arrives at the Huaishu Pass, it bends a bend alive, and then forcibly turns its head to the west, and the Huaishu Pass is located on this right-angle bend.

When Xiahou Ba touched it, it was when the sun was setting, and with this last ray of sunshine, he also took a closer look at the camp of the Shu army.

Obviously, the Shu army sent troops to garrison here, just to prevent the Wei army from entering Hanzhong along the Fu Luo Road, although the Shu army is not too many people stationed here, there are about 1,000 people, but it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is indeed a defensive pass.

However, seeing the lazy appearance of the Shu soldiers, they probably didn't find that the Wei army was approaching here, which undoubtedly created conditions for the Wei army to launch a sneak attack. If the Shu army is shocked and seriously defends, it will not be easy for the Wei army to break through the Huaishu Pass.

Xiahou Ba carefully studied the geographical situation of Huaishu Pass, and if he wanted to break through Huaishu Pass, it was very difficult to attack from the front, and he had to go around from a dangerous path to the back of Huaishu Pass, occupy the commanding heights, and be condescending to have a chance to break through.

With 10,000 troops of the two vanguard battalions of the Wei army to deal with the unguarded Shu army at Huaishu Pass, such a battle should be very easy, but Xiahouba found that to the west of Huaishu Pass, there is Xingshi Mountain, which is dangerous, and only by crossing Xingshi Mountain, can the Wei army really get out of Fu Luo Road and approach the Hanzhong Plain.

Huaishu Pass is just a pass in front of Xingshi Mountain, since the Shu army is deployed here, it proves that they have Xingshi Mountain with heavy troops, the Wei army in Huaishu Pass, whether win or lose will alarm the Shu army of Xingshi Mountain, Huaishu Pass is easy to pass, only afraid of hitting the grass and startling the snake, the next stop of Xingshi Mountain, will become an insurmountable barrier for the Wei army.

Therefore, this battle of Huaishu Pass must not only be won, but also won cleanly, and all the defenders will be annihilated one by one, only in this way will the news not be leaked, and the Wei army will still have the opportunity to sneak attack Xingshi Mountain.

In this way, it is tantamount to posing a difficult problem to Xiahou Ba, if he only relies on his soldiers and horses to take the Huaishu Pass, it will definitely be no problem, but if you want to achieve a complete annihilation without leakage, it is really difficult to avoid it.

It seems that only by cooperating with Guo Huai can it be possible to completely annihilate the Shu army.

When it was dark, Xiahou Ba returned to the forward camp, and at this time Guo Huai's army had already set up camp, but this place was too close to the Shu army, and the Wei army did not dare to raise fire, and the entire camp was dark.

Although Xiahou Ba was also very unwilling to cooperate with Guo Huai, the situation forced him to consult with Guo Huai and clarify the battle plan.

"Sneak attack in the middle of the night?" When Guo Huai heard that Xiahou Ba was preparing to launch a sneak attack in the middle of the night, he shook his head again and again, and said, "The valley road is difficult and dangerous, and it is still difficult to walk during the day, not to mention that it is dark at night, I am afraid that before I reach the Shu army camp, the men and horses have already suffered countless losses, and this plan is definitely not feasible." ”

Xiahou Ba suppressed his anger and patiently explained to Guo Huai: "Only by attacking in the middle of the night, taking advantage of the unpreparedness of the Shu people, can there be a chance of total annihilation, if it is daytime, not only will our army increase casualties, but also there is no possibility of completely annihilating the Shu army, if it alarms the rising enemy, it will definitely have an adverse impact on our army's follow-up operations." ”

Guo Huai reluctantly agreed, but his plan was slightly different from Xiahouba's, Xiahouba's plan was to take advantage of the cover of night to attack from both sides, attack the Shu army's camp in one fell swoop, and take advantage of the opportunity in their sleep to annihilate the Shu army in one fell swoop.

Guo Huai's plan was to march cautiously, before the fifth watch, the two roads of men and horses arrived at the designated attack position, and waited until the sky was about to dawn, and then attacked, after all, I could not distinguish between the enemy and the enemy at night, and it was easy to cause accidental injury.

Xiahou Ba was helpless, because even if he continued to fight with Guo Huai, it would be difficult to get the result he wanted, and in the end he still adopted Guo Huai's opinion and besieged first and then attacked.

Xiahou Ba didn't dare to go on anymore, the more time was delayed, the more it was gone, first besieged and then attacked, as long as it could surround the Shu army, and not let it spread the news to the prosperity dozens of miles away, as for eating the Shu army, there was almost no suspense.

After discussing it, Xiahou Ba immediately returned to his army, selected more than 2,000 strong and strong key pawns, and served as a death squad, planning to detour from the path to the back of Huaishu Pass and occupy the commanding heights.

The remaining 3,000 people joined forces with Guo Huai's men and horses to attack the Shu army from the front.

It is true that marching at night is not as good as during the day, especially when torches cannot be lit, which will undoubtedly increase the difficulty of the march. Xiahou Ba led the death squad and ventured up the trail behind the mountain and went straight to the back of the Huaishu Pass.

This place is located in the rear wing of Huaishu Pass, the terrain is higher than Huaishu Pass, Xiahou Ba spent a lot of effort, to be able to climb up, fortunately, this road on the Shu army did not set up a guard to guard, if there are really soldiers guarding, Xiahou Ba is estimated to be abandoned.

After arriving at the designated position, Xiahou Ba ordered the army to lie dormant, and he had to wait until Guo Huai moved in front before he could kill the Shu army in the back by surprise.

At this time, Guo Huai had also led the army to touch it, he walked on the main road, and the natural road conditions were better than Xiahouba's, after approaching the gate of the Shu military camp, Guo Huai originally planned to lurk and wait until dawn to attack.

It's just that they have a lot of people and big goals, and as soon as they approached the camp of the Shu army, they heard someone in the Shu army shouting: "There is an enemy attack!" ”

In an instant, the Shu army camp was like a fried pot, and the Shu army in their sleep got up one after another, and rushed out of the camp tent with weapons.

Guo Huai was startled when he saw it, and the original plan was to launch an attack at dawn, but now it seems that it can only be advanced, Guo Huai ordered to immediately launch an attack on the Shu army camp and annihilate the Shu army without leaving any ground.
