At the hour of the 25th of April, at the Tang army camp outside Shouzhou City, several rockets suddenly attacked several camp tents in the northeast corner. Thick smoke suddenly rolled up, sparks splashed, and rows of wood placed on the surrounding open space were quickly swallowed up. When the flames rose, wood chips splashed everywhere, and the surging fire spread out uncontrollably.

None of the other food and supplies nearby were spared. "Crack! Crack!" Some of the arrow tower fences were baked to the point of being crumbling, and collapsed with a "boom".

The Tang soldiers in the camp were running back and forth in panic, but they had no intention of extinguishing the fire. They seemed to be shocked by the horrifying scenes around them and retreated in all directions.

In a moment of chaos, a long horn sound suddenly came from the dense forest on the east side, accompanied by the deafening shouts of killing sounds, and then a burst of rapid horse hooves, followed by a dense sound of handover of weapons.

On the Shouzhou city not far away, the rebel soldiers had already been attracted by the fires soaring into the sky in the distance. Looking at the tragic scene in the Tang army camp, especially the particularly striking behemoths had burned to ashes. Some soldiers immediately shouted gloatingly, as if after tonight, the victory they had long been longed for was about to be obtained.

Li Jinquan, who was drinking in the government office, heard the soldiers coming to report and immediately led the generals to the east city wall. Seeing that the situation in the Tang army camp was obviously in a desperate situation, Li Jinquan trembled excitedly, and then grinned at the corner of his mouth: "What a bullshit general! The defense of this camp is so vulnerable!"

Ming Hanrong hurried forward and bowed: "Master General! The Tang army has already burned the battalions, and it is already in a state of defeat. The Baoxin Army is determined to fight fiercely at this time. When this great opportunity, our army should take advantage of the opportunity to go out of the city to attack the Tang army's camp. The Tang army will definitely be difficult to deal with!"

The generals behind him also stepped forward to fight, but Li Jinquan shook his head disapprovingly and said, "No! How fierce this continuous sea of ​​fire is, how can you break into it rashly? Besides, the Tang army is still guarding the important road of Bagong Mountain. Now that the camp has been destroyed, it will retreat soon. Our army only needs to defend the city and watch the Tang army be defeated!"

A deputy general said anxiously: "Master General! But the Tang army is strong after all, and there are 20,000 to 30,000 people. Since the Baoxin Army has succeeded, there must be huge casualties! I also asked the Grand General to send a team of troops to the south gate and go along the dense forest to meet the retreat of Governor Li! Otherwise—"

"What else?"

Li Jinquan shouted sharply: "Do you want to disobey the commander's military order? Now the night is dark, and the situation of the battle in the dense forest is unclear! How can you open the city gate at will? Don't forget that the Tang army led the army out of the dense forest that day! Besides, what a hero is the governor Li, the Baoxin Army is all brave. No matter how many people in the Tang army are, they will be able to fight to the death to kill the enemy! Let's talk about the matter after dawn!"

The deputy general was startled and then replied in a low voice: "The last general obeys the order!"

Ming Hanrong, who was standing beside him, seemed to understand Li Jinquan's intention, and his eyes suddenly turned to the tightly hidden dense forest in the distance, but a hint of uneasiness appeared in his heart.

......

Outside the southern gate of Shouzhou, teams of soldiers wearing broken armor, riding horses or walking, ran out of the dense forest in panic. Wailing and rioting accompanied them. The heads of people moving forward in the darkness were countless, and soon rushed to the city.

This sudden noise caused the defenders on the city to be vigilant, until after taking advantage of the faint firelight on the city, a guard shouted loudly: "Where is the governor Li? The general has an order, and the situation is unclear at night. Please rest outside the city for a while! You can only enter the city when it is dawn!"

While expecting Li Song's burly figure did not appear in time. Suddenly, torches gradually ignited in the middle of the team under the city. The soldiers were instantly lined up in an orderly manner, and then they shouted in unison: "Fire! Fire!..."

The guard was shocked when he heard the inexplicable and powerful shouts. He stared at the cold and resolute faces under the city, and suddenly noticed something, shouting in disbelief: "You guys--"

Suddenly a cold light came from behind, passing through his chest, choking the voice of the guard to the bottom of his throat.

The guard looked down at the blade dripping from his heart in horror. He heard a low voice vaguely before he died: "The fire broke out."

Then a fierce scream sounded from the top of the city, but it soon came to an abrupt end. The city suddenly became quiet.

A moment later, dozens of bloody corpses were thrown out one after another. The moment the limbs touched the ground, the plasma overflowed and made a shocking crisp sound. Then the Tang army flag that had been away for several days was erected on the city tower. A team of blood-stained soldiers turned around and got off the city wall. With a muffled "creaking", the suspension bridge was slowly lowered, and the heavy city gate gradually opened.

"Enter the city!"

A crisp military order suddenly sounded, and the soldiers under the city responded in unison, immediately waved their swords and poured in like a tide. Soon, the Baoxin Army of Li Song's troops controlled the entire high-level southern city wall without any suspense.

Almost at the same time, a large group of people suddenly rushed out of the dense forest in the south of the city. Where the sound of hooves passed, countless earth and rocks quickly splashed in all directions. A strong white tall horse in the military formation was particularly conspicuous. Li Yuan was holding a spear in his hand and was heading for the first time. The golden armor on his body shone brightly with the flames.

The army quickly stepped into the city and immediately formed a formation on the open ground. The cavalry led the way, with dense infantry and armored soldiers in the middle, with crossbows standing behind, flags flying, war horses neighing, and a fierce battle broke out.

In recent days, Shouzhou City has been like a sharp nail, which has long been wedged into the hearts of Tang soldiers. The pleasure of killing the enemy, the desire to make achievements, and the victory that is within reach are as if it is in front of us.

The soldiers behind them all opened their eyes angrily. Li Yuan took a deep breath. Although Lin Sichang's fire was not sure about the right measure and burned too violently, the camp was destroyed and the retreat was cut off, it also awakened the flames that were put to death in the hearts of the soldiers.

At this moment, at a glance, the dark and gloomy city gate was like an abyss that devoured desire, which was daunting but irresistible. I looked up at the Tang army flag flying on the city tower, and then issued orders to the generals one by one:

"Master Liu, please lead the Wuchang army to take the rebel camp in the south of the city!"

"Zhou Tinggou, I'll order you to lead the Qinghuai Army's left wing to penetrate the Central Street and quickly seize the West Gate!"

"Lin Sichang, I ordered you to lead the Qinghuai Army to attack the East Gate with the right wing!"

The generals responded in unison: "As for your order!"

"Soldiers! It's time to kill the enemy and make achievements! All rebels you encounter tonight will be killed without any reservations! Follow me to siege Shouzhou!"

Li Yuan kicked the horse's belly suddenly, and the white horse jumped up instantly. The rushing war horses behind him, the roaring soldiers, and thousands of troops, roaring like a torrent, all roaring and starting to charge.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

"Straighten Shouzhou!"

"Straighten Shouzhou!"

Li Yuan fought bravely, and Liu Renzhan was not old yet. Two commanders personally took the battle, leading the cavalry and galloping in first. All the Tang soldiers' blood boiled instantly, and they all screamed excitedly when they saw this. The eyes revealed a fanatical light. The weapons in their hands were waving faster and faster, and they fiercely rushed towards the open city gate.

The rumbling torrent of Tang Dynasty soldiers soon caused a large number of houses and streets in the city to tremble unnaturally. Rebel soldiers ran all over the streets, and the people in the city cried and shouted. A chaotic fight broke out in the streets and alleys. Wherever they passed, thick smoke rose everywhere, and countless houses were robbed by chaos in the ruins.
