人皆莫對，唯叔寶與羅士信請行。 No one spoke until Shubao and Luo Shixin volunteered.

既而明月果悉兵追之，叔寶與士信馳至其柵，柵門閉不得入，二人超升其樓，拔賊旗幟，各殺數人，營中大亂。 Mingyue pursued with his whole army; the two galloped to his camp, scaled the gate tower when the gates closed, tore down his banners, killed several men, and threw the camp into chaos.

叔寶、士信又斬關以納外兵，因縱火焚其三十餘柵，煙焰漲天。 They broke the gate for the main force and burned more than thirty stockades until the sky was black with smoke.
