On the wall of Shunzhou, several Xixia defenders looked at Song Camp in the darkness. Although their eyes were wide open, they could not see the scene in the distance. The night was like a giant beast that could swallow their lives at all times. The defenders shivered all over and hurried down and shouted softly: "I can't see anything. It seems that the Southern Dynasties army is not prepared." The veteran Xia army under the city cursed at the sound of his ears: "What does it mean to look like? If there is, there is nothing. Explore it again."

The defenders on the city wall tried to open their eyes and look at Song Camp again, but it was too dark to see clearly, so they plucked up their courage and shouted in a low voice: "It's too dark to see clearly." The veteran looked up and said to the young governor: "What should you do if you think about it?" The young governor said: "It's better to test it according to the plan."

The south city gate slowly opened, and a team of Xixia cavalry came out of the city one by one. The suspension bridge on the moat was also squeaking. Because the horses were covered with a circle of linen cloth, the sound of horses' hooves seemed particularly small.

In front of the trench more than 100 meters in front of the south gate, ten machine guns lined up one after another, and the soldiers stared at the Xixia soldiers coming out of the city through their night vision goggles. When the Xixia cavalry arrived more than 30 meters in front of the trench, ten fire snakes cut through the dark night sky and drilled forward into the bodies of the Xixia soldiers. Then hundreds of flame tongues rushed along the trench neatly towards the Shunzhou City.

The shooting sound of "da da da da da" was particularly far away in the quiet late night. When the young governor in the city heard this, he knew it was broken and was ambushed by the Song army. So he hurriedly said to the generals beside him: "Let the soldiers come back quickly, put away the suspension bridge, and close the city gate."

The Xia army between the moat and the city gate quickly retreated back to the city, and the Xia army that had already crossed the moat was not so lucky. The narrow suspension bridge could not allow all the Xia army to retreat at the same time. For a moment, the Xia army was beaten up and overwhelmed with heavy casualties. Some of the Xia army jumped directly into the moat and swam to the opposite bank. Some of them could not swim and fluttered for a few times before sinking to the bottom of the river.

A blood-covered defender limped to the young governor and shouted: "Director, the firearms of the Song Division are too powerful to lift the suspension bridge again." The young governor said in a sequel: "What did you say? I don't care what method you use, I must lift the suspension bridge again for me. If it can't be lifted, don't come back." The blood-covered defender gritted his teeth and said: "I'll think of a solution now."

It was at this moment that six sharp whistlings came from far to near and headed straight for Shunzhou City. The young governor's face changed rapidly, and he shouted loudly: "If there is a bomb, hide behind the city wall." The slow-responding soldier was directly covered by a rain of fire and turned into a fireman. The shelling lasted for a quarter of an hour, and more than 100 high-explosive bombs and white phosphorus bombs were fired. At this time, Shunzhou City turned into a sea of ​​fire, illuminating the city of Shunzhou like daytime.

After the shelling was over, Wang Chao and others applied to Wen Ying and took advantage of the chaos to attack the city. Wen Shen laughed and said, "It's not the time. Let's wait until the fire in the city is extinguished. You can just protect the suspension bridge."

Half an hour later, the fire in Shunzhou City was slowly extinguished by the defenders, and the city gradually turned from daytime to night. Taking advantage of this time, Wenshen ordered Zhang Biao to pull a cannon to a place not far from the south gate and prepared to shell the south gate.

With a "boom", the south gate of Shunzhou was blown through, and fully armed soldiers crossed the moat and entered Shunzhou city through the bombed south gate.

"The Dutong is not good, the Southern Dynasties army has attacked." A general ran to the young Dutong in panic and shouted. The young Dutong trembled, but shouted: "What are you doing? How many Southern Dynasties soldiers have come in." The general said: "It's too dark and I can't see clearly. There should be many. Everyone holding firearms is very powerful and can't stop them at all."

At this moment, a group of soldiers rushed over here. Seeing this, the young governor shouted, "What's going on? Why are you not guarding the city gate in front, why are you going to run to the back?" One of the soldiers saw that it was the governor and shouted, "The commander-in-chief's army has captured the South Gate, and they are all night owls. They can see us, we can't see them, and we can't guard them at all."

The young commander shouted to the personal soldiers beside him, "Come on, this person is confused, and he left the post and pulled him down and chopped him." Several of the personal soldiers stepped forward to grab the soldier's arm, pulled him to the side, pressed him to the ground, and raised his sword to chop him. The soldier was so scared that he shouted, "I'm telling you all the truth, the commander." The young commander shouted, "Cut it. I see who dares to confuse the public anymore and shake the morale of the army." As the sword fell, everyone shivered.

The young commander's fierceness rose and said to the general just now: "I don't care what method you use or how many people you die. I must take back the South Gate before dawn." The general gritted his teeth and clasped his fists and said, "Sir." After that, he led a few personal soldiers around him to the South Gate.

...

Wang Chao and others led their troops into the south gate, and threw grenades frantically at the defenders. They quickly cleared out a safe area and occupied the South Gate Tower and the city walls of more than ten meters on both sides. After occupying the city wall, Wang Chao quickly set up four brigades on the city wall and shot the defenders from a high point.

Suddenly, a large number of defenders emerged from somewhere and rushed towards the south gate. The eyes of the Chao Dynasty were filled with yellow villains. Seeing this, Wang Chao and others were also extremely nervous. Wang Chao reported to Wen Shenhui: "Commission, we have initially occupied the South Gate, but now there are a large number of Western thieves counterattacking, continuing to have a large number of aircraft and ammunition." Wen Shen said: "You can hold on for a few minutes, and I will send someone here."

A few minutes later, the guard company drove into Shunzhou City with a tractor and a steel plate-sealed hanging bucket. He lined up on Nanmen Street in turn, and the shooting entrance opened, and the thirty black holes stretched out. "Dadada..."

...

The sun in the east slowly rose from the horizon, and the sun shone warmly on his body. Wenshen and Liu Fa stood on the south gate tower, looking down at the soldiers below cleaning the dead bodies on the ground. Liu Fa smiled and said, "The war at night is really dangerous." Wenshen looked at the inner city of Shunzhou and said, "Yes, in the battle last night, there were a hundred injured people in our army, and twelve killed them." Thinking of the twelve killed the dead, Wenshen felt a pain and thought to himself: "If I had known this, I would not have forced the attack on the city." Liu Fa smiled and said, "It is already a great victory for us to kill more than ten thousand Western thieves. We only lost such a little soldiers."

The dynasty standing behind Wen Shen said, "Committee, now some of the Western thieves fled north while some of them gave up the outer city to defend the inner city. According to my estimate, there should be more than 50,000 people in the inner city, and more than 50,000 people should have escaped. But there may be a large number of injured people in the inner city after the shelling yesterday. In addition, we seized a batch of food and grass, which is enough for us to use for March." Wen Shen smiled and said, "Very good. Today we will try to capture the inner city, and we will spend the night in Shunzhou City tonight."

After occupying the outer city, soldiers stood on the city wall and could reach the inner city. After breakfast, the troops rested for a while, they launched a fierce attack on the inner city. The artillery set up howitzers on the city wall and launched a crazy shelling of the inner city. Within half an hour, all the shells were shot into the inner city. The inner city was much smaller than the outer city, and the Xixia defenders had nowhere to hide, and there were heavy casualties and injuries. Before noon, they opened the door to surrender.

Wenshen stood on the city tower, looking at the inner city that was almost turned into ruins, and thought to himself: "It's better to use cannons. You have to do more in the future. If there are hundreds of them, it's so good."

After an afternoon of cleaning, Liu Fa said to Wen Shen: "National Master, this battle in Shunzhou eliminated more than 30,000 Western thieves and captured more than 30,000 prisoners, half of which were injured, most of which were seriously injured, and the possibility of death was relatively large. In addition, more than 20,000 intact war horses were seized in the city, and more than 100,000 cattle and sheep were also seized. There were more than a dozen boxes of gold, silver and jewelry." Wen Shen smiled and said, "I can't tell that there are quite a lot of things in Shunzhou City. By the way, you carry gold, silver and jewelry into my camp. Well, don't carry the silver."

After Liu Fa went out, not long after, more than 30 soldiers carried three large wooden boxes to the Wenshen Xingzhang camp. After putting it down, Wenshen sent everyone away. He went forward and opened one of the boxes. In an instant, a yellow light shone out from it. Wenshen narrowed his eyes and looked at the gold inside, thinking in his heart: "With this gold, you can buy some cannons and attack Xingqing Mansion."
