The situation in the county town made Li Shenfu a little stunned. All the houses were razed to the ground, rubble, earth and stone everywhere, and wood was piled up beside the city walls, like a small hill, with nearly a thousand large tents stuck next to the county town, one by one, almost filling the county town as big as a palm.

However, after a second thought, Li Shenfu realized that the county town was too small to accommodate 20,000 troops. Sheng Yanshi drove away the people in the city, leveling the houses and burning wood, which was also a temporary measure.

At this time, it was already dusk. After a day and night of running, the soldiers were already tired and hungry. Before Li Shenfu could order, they seized the camp, drank water and ate, and put on blankets to sleep. The city was in a mess.

"Master General, if you set up camp like this, you will easily be attacked by Sui's arms." A side general carefully reminded Li Shenfu.

Li Shenfu was also worried about this matter. If the Sui army shoots rockets from outside the city, the consequences will be unimaginable. However, camping in the wild is prone to sneak attacks and fire attacks, which is even more dangerous. He ponders for a moment and then ordered: "Tell me my order and remove half of the camp!"

Li Shenfu considered that the camp was not so dense and camped in scattered camps, and even if they were attacked by fire, his orders attracted complaints from the Tang soldiers. Everyone had allocated the camps and arranged their accommodations. Now half of the camps were to be demolished, and no one was willing to move them away.

There was a loud noise, curse, and even a fight broke out over the camp tent. The camp was in chaos. The marching Sima Zhao Shu was helpless and had to come and report to Li Shenfu: "Master, the soldiers are too tired and refuse to move to the camp, and they are in chaos."

Li Shenfu said angrily: "Is my military order useless?"

At this time, a general under his command advised: "Master, it's useless to disperse camps. The wind is too strong at night, and it's hard to avoid it if you're attacked by fire. It's better to send more patrol spies to seal the surroundings tightly. Once there is a situation, we can leave the evacuation city."

When Li Shenfu saw that it was getting late, the soldiers were exhausted and could not stand the trouble. More importantly, his subordinates made sense, and they could not defend against fire attacks while dispersing the camp tents.

Helplessly, he had to nod. He said to Deputy General Li Hanwenling: "Send a thousand patrols on the periphery, and monitor them within ten miles. If there is any abnormality, you must report it."

A thousand Tang soldiers ran out of the city like lightning, and cast a tight patrol network within ten miles of the surrounding area.

As night gradually descended, the noise in the city slowly disappeared. The tired soldiers fell asleep, only more than a thousand soldiers on the top of the city patrolling back and forth, watching the scene in the distance with vigilance.

More than ten miles south, Yang Yuanqing immediately stood on a snow hill, staring coldly at the clearly visible city in the distance. Li Shenfu entered the city as expected. Li Shenfu did not suspect that Sheng Yan's army had surrendered to the Sui army, which was the key to the success or failure of the entire battle.

Luo Shixin behind him smiled and said, "I only now understand that Your Highness's plan to ask you to get into the trap. Isn't this city just a urn?"

Cheng Yaojin said a little worriedly: "Isn't it a bit too cruel to use fire?"

Luo Shixin next to him looked at him in surprise. When did this kid become so compassionate? Cheng Yaojin grinned. "I don't pity them, I mean, it's a pity to burn so many troops to death."

"They have a choice and surrender if they don't want to die."

Yang Yuanqing snorted coldly. At this time, the sound of horse hooves came from afar. The patrol soldiers led a cavalry to come and the cavalry came forward and bowed to report: "Report to your Highness, General Pei asked me to send news. I am ready and can take action at any time."

"When is it?" Yang Yuanqing turned around and asked.

"Report to Your Highness, the first update is coming soon."

The agreed time is coming, and Yang Yuanqing said to the cavalry: "Tell General Pei to take the fire in the city as the sign and act according to the original plan."

"As for the order!" The cavalry bowed, turned his horse's head and ran away.

Yang Yuanqing looked up at the moonlight. The moon was like a jade plate, walking through the thin dark clouds. The bright moonlight shone on the earth like silver light. The snowy night was quiet. This was originally a night of walking under the moonlight holding a woman's hand, but at this time the moonlight could not hide the murderous intent.

Not far away, ten thousand Sui cavalry were ready. The sword was unsheathed, the arrow was in the string, and the murderous aura suddenly surged in Yang Yuanqing's heart to sweep the world. He was so irresistible that he could not resist. The day to attack Li Tang was getting closer and closer.

......

The city walls of Liangchuan County are very low, only one meter high, old and damaged, and several places have collapsed. The soldiers on the city patrol back and forth, very vigilant. Not far away, the Zulichuan water flowed close to the south of the city, pouring into the Yellow River several miles away, attracting a tributary from the river, and turning around the city into a moat. At this time, the river water was frozen, and the surroundings were silent and lifeless.

Many strategies can last forever, but the reason why they succeed again and again is that many of the parties involved are dead and cannot pass on the painful lessons to later generations, and this time is no exception.

Under the wall, you can see a hole every few hundred steps. After the bricks loosened, the people in the city snatched the corners of the house, and the caves became a nest of rats and snakes.

A sudden movement in a very ordinary cave in the southwest corner was made. A pale hand stretched out from the cave, and then a thin face was revealed. This was not a child, but a thin man.

He looked at the moonlight and turned around and whispered: "Lao Wu, the time has come."

They went back again. Soon, a black hole slowly appeared in the corner of the city where the wood was piled up. Two thin Sui soldiers emerged from the hole. They hid behind the wood and looked at the surroundings vigilantly.

In the night, the camp tents were one by one, the north wind was howling, and the grass clippings circling above the camp. The closest camp tent was about thirty steps away. They looked at each other and nodded together. A soldier took out a bow and rocket from the hole, causing a soldier to quickly pour tinder oil on the pile of wood.

‘Click!Click!’ After two slight sounds, a ball of flame burned in the hands of the soldiers, and another soldier ignited the rocket.

"Who is it?"

Suddenly someone shouted loudly above his head. The fire caught the attention of the defenders in the city. They were discovered, but at the last moment, the sound of bowstrings sounded, and a rocket flew into the air, drew a dazzling arc of light, and accurately inserted it into the big tent. The big tent was coated with grease, and soon a hole was ignited and the rocket fell into the tent.

A harsh alarm sounded from the city, "Dang! Dang! Dang! Dang!" Echoed in the quiet night, a large group of sentries ran along the corridor of the city walls with spears. The city began to stir up. Two soldiers threw the fire sticks onto the pile of wood, and blue flames immediately ignited on the pile of wood, spreading rapidly. The two soldiers drilled into the hole like moles and disappeared.

This tincture oil is the new tincture oil of the Sui army. After being refined several times by the new technology of the two Romans, the oil is lighter and the combustion force is stronger. The wood used to build a house has been dried in the sun and is very easy to catch fire. The tincture oil is accompanied by dry firewood, and the fire begins to burn.

At this time, the city began to be in chaos. The first tent ignited burned the ropes and was blown up by the wind. Pieces of fire-covered tents were scattered in all directions. Dozens of tents around it were lit, flames soared into the air, and the huge tongue of flames was like the bloody mouth of the devil, ruthlessly swallowing everything. The fire was swift, and in just a moment, almost half of the tents were ignited.

The war horses were frightened, neighed desperately, and pulled the reins to run along the city wall. The terrified soldiers ran out of the tent, most of whom were not wearing armor, and some were barefoot. The sky-sky fire in the city made everyone lose their souls. The instinct for survival made them rush towards the city gate regardless of everything, and the crying sounds in the city shook the sky.

At this time, the sound of horns outside the city kept ringing, "Woo---" one after another, and then the sound of horse hooves like muffled thunder sounded on the ground...

Twenty thousand Sui troops came from north to south and surrounded the two gates of Liangchuan County, just like two large pockets laying down. The Tang soldiers who escaped from the city had no way out.

But at this time, it was already a blessing for the Tang soldiers to be captured by the Sui army. The city had become a sea of ​​fire. The raging fire had completely devoured the entire city. The fire burned the city. The Tang soldiers were burned and screamed. Those who ran out of the city fled to their lives. If they could not run, they would die in the sea of ​​fire. Thousands of soldiers even ran to the top of the city and jumped down from the top of the city regardless of everything.

Li Shenfu's big tent was in the middle. He was woken up by his personal soldiers and ran out of the big tent barefoot. The big tent was already in a sea of ​​fire. All the big tents around him were ignited. The soldiers shouted wildly to escape. Li Shenfu's eyes were red and he shouted desperately: "Come here! Come here!"

But no one paid attention to him at this time, and his personal soldiers also escaped. Suddenly, a neighing sound of a war horse came from behind him. Li Shenfu turned his head suddenly, and a look of horror appeared in his eyes. A frightened war horse rushed towards him. Li Shenfu couldn't dodge and screamed, and was hit by the war horse and flew out, landing on a large tent that had not yet burned, and fainted immediately.

After a while, he woke up and struggled to get up. However, there was a severe pain in his legs and chest. His ribs and leg bones were broken. There was no one around except for the fire. Li Shenfu shouted in horror, "Help! Come and save me!"

No one responded. At this time, a piece of cloth with flames fell from his eyes. Li Shenfu shouted in horror, "No! No!" The cloth did not understand his shouting and fell on the big tent. The big tent was ignited, the fire burned rapidly, getting bigger and bigger, and the fire gradually swallowed the screaming Li Shenfu completely.

.........

The city was burned with fire, tens of thousands of war horses and nearly 4,000 Tang troops were burned to death in Liangchuan County, and the remaining more than 16,000 people who escaped were all captured.

This battle completely changed the situation between Guannei Road and Hexi Road. Yang Yuanqing immediately ordered Pei Renji to lead 15,000 Fengzhou troops to fight towards Hexi Road. At the same time, Su Dingfang, who was far away in Dunhuang, also received an order to lead 10,000 cavalry to march towards Zhangye County.

Pei Renji and Su Dingfang attacked each other, and wanted to annihilate the last 10,000 Tang troops in Zhangye County, while Yang Yuanqing stayed in Huining County to rectify the 35,000 surrendered troops. He was patiently waiting for news from the Tang court.
