Xiong Bo led the army all the way, and it took a day to reach the stronghold where the grain and grass were hoarded. It's just that camps have been set up around this stronghold, and trenches have been dug, apparently intending to hold on.

Seeing this situation, Xiong Bo's heart also sank. Originally, he made up his mind to come quickly to catch Huai by surprise, and take advantage of Huai Guo's failure to complete the construction of fortifications and recapture it.

As a result, he didn't expect that Huaiguo was so cautious and built a camp overnight. At this time, it was not easy to capture this camp, but the arrow was ready to be sent because the army of Chu no longer had enough food to withdraw.

Wang Sheng looked at the Chu army that came outside the camp, and did not send troops to fight against it, and the Chu army at this time was the most morale. If the generals of the Chu State are powerful enough to inspire the will of the army to the death, even if they win, the Huai State will suffer heavy losses.

So he planned to stick to the camp, and after capturing this place of grain storage, he had already interrogated the grain transport officer, and the Chu army carried half a month's grain, and according to this, it had been ten days. When the Huai army attacked the occupied point, the grain transport team was preparing to set off.

That is to say, the group of Chu troops outside has only three days of food left at most, as long as he holds on for three days, and then gives a little preferential treatment, these soldiers will fall apart, of course, there is a more ruthless move, directly burn the food in the camp with one fire.

On the other side, Xiong Bo knew very well that his current situation was very dangerous, and after giving the soldiers a full meal, he directly ordered the army to attack.

And preached that as long as the camp was taken, everyone would be able to live. If you can't capture the camp, you can only starve to death. For a time, the morale of the Chu army soared.

When the Huai army saw the Chu army attacking, they were not afraid, and they were even a little eager to try. In order to survive, the first attack of the Chu army was very fierce and thousands of people launched an attack, the army surged up like a tide, the Huai army flew out of the sky with arrows, and a large number of soldiers were shot by arrows, and countless casualties were killed and injured for a time.

Before the two sides could make contact, the state of Chu had already killed and injured hundreds of people. When the Chu army crossed the trench and rushed to the camp with the deer, the Huai army soldiers who had been prepared quickly attacked, but in a few moments, the Chu army that rushed up was killed.

The Chu army attacked three times in turn, each time it was like a tide, as if it wanted to destroy all the obstacles in front of it, but the camp of Huai was like a reef in the tide, no matter how you hit it, it couldn't be broken, but the tide was smashed by the reef.

The Chu army repeatedly attacked, but did not break through the camp, and after three times, the morale that had been gathered by fighting to the death was also low.

By this time, the battlefield was littered with the corpses of Chu soldiers. Xiong Bo was so helpless that he had no choice but to withdraw his troops, because at this time, the morale of the army had collapsed, and if he continued to fight, he would only die some more soldiers, and he would not be able to break through the camp at all.

The army returned to the camp, and the morale of the Chu army camp was very low. Seeing this scene, Xiong Bo knew that if he didn't capture the camp during the day today, he wouldn't be able to capture it tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. After all, morale will get lower and lower as failures increase.

Thinking of this, Xiong Bo immediately asked the generals in the army to select the warriors, and then took out all the stored grain to let the army have a full meal.

He didn't plan to wait any longer, and launched an attack tonight taking advantage of the darkness. With the most elite warriors under each general as the vanguard, take advantage of the night to sneak attack.

Up to now, Xiong Bo is like a gambler at the gambling table, betting all his chips, if he wins, it will be difficult for the army to solve, and even the land can be occupied, if he loses, everything will be over.

Jin Wuxi hangs, and the jade rabbit is rising.

A night wind blew across the wasteland, and the night wind blew through the branches and grass, making a whining sound, as if weeping for the soldiers who died in battle during the day.

There were only a few campfires in the Chu military camp, which was very dull.

As the minutes passed, the moon gradually became obscured by dark clouds. The earth went dark.

In Xiong Bo's tent, the lights were bright, and more than a dozen lieutenants were all there.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the failure of this expedition to Huaiguo is my responsibility, and I did not send people to protect the grain and grass strongholds, resulting in a shortage of food and grass for the army. Now the Huaiguo army has cut off grain and grass, our army's back road has been cut off, and the army has reached a life-and-death juncture. ”

"If you can't win this battle, you will die!"

"I hope that all the monarchs will work together to break through the Huai army!"

"I am willing to die for the general!"

"I am willing to die for the general!"

"I am willing to die for the general!"

Everyone said in unison, and everyone did not hesitate.

"Okay, since that's the case, then gather the most elite warriors under your command, and attack the Huai army at night as soon as the ugly time is over tonight!"

"Whoa!"

Everyone got up and went to summon their private army to prepare for tonight's night attack. Of course, not all of them are willing to fight to the death with Xiong Bo, and some people have the idea of fighting if they can, and surrender if they can.

Time passed quietly like flowing water, and soon the time had reached the ugly time, this time was also the darkest time of the day, in the Chu army camp, an army of thousands of people had been quietly arrayed.

These soldiers are tall and strong, and they are well-armed and armored, and they know at a glance that they are elite divisions. These elites are the private soldiers of those generals and captains, and it is precisely because they are the private soldiers of the nobles that they are treated far beyond ordinary soldiers, so there is no night blindness.

Thousands of people gathered here, but they didn't make a sound. Soon an order was heard, and the gate of the camp slowly opened. The army came out silently.

Xiong Bo walked in the middle with his cronies, looking at the Huai army camp like a fierce beast in the darkness in the distance, and a wave of worry rose in his heart.

The army moved forward silently, and soon came to the vicinity of the battlefield during the day, the army moved forward cautiously, at this time the sky was dark, and the five fingers were almost invisible, and the fire in the camp not far away was also very weak, and the Chu army was not found at all.

Soon the first group of soldiers had already crossed the trench and were about to come to the camp, and the vanguard officer gave the order, and the soldiers who had come to the front immediately rushed to the camp.

But at this moment, a drum suddenly sounded, and in the next second, I saw a sky rocket shooting out of the camp.

Thousands of rockets streaked across the sky, dispelling the darkness of the night. Immediately after that, arrows rained down, and a large number of Chu soldiers were directly shot. At the same time, the vine armor army that had been preparing for a long time in the large camp poured out.

The night attack already highlights a suddenness, but when this suddenness is gone, it is not even as good as an ordinary charge.

The Huai State Tengjia army poured out, and the Chu army was taken by surprise, and a large number of soldiers were killed. The night raid was a complete failure.

Seeing this situation, many Chu troops knew that the general trend had gone, and began to flee or surrender, and the entire night attack army collapsed at an alarming speed.

......

In the third year of King Ping, Huai attacked Wu, Wu sent an envoy to ask for help from Qilu Chu, the Three Kingdoms attacked Huai, and the Huai army retreated. The state of Chu surrounded Han, waiting for work, Xu Qing said: cut off its grain road, cut off its back road, and its self-chaos. Zhao Gong admonished, from it. The Chu army was in chaos and broke it. - "Historical Records: The Battle of Handu"
