Lawless in Great Song

Chapter 307: The Fall of the Li Dynasty

As a military commander, Feng Zhineng was not one to hesitate. He immediately shouted, "Okay, let's do it."

So they didn't want to continue discussing and quickly came up with a countermeasure.

Li Rizun would patrol the city walls every day to stabilize the morale of the troops. Their countermeasures were simple: defend the city to the death.

One reason is the hope of peace talks with the Song army.

Secondly, they hoped to delay time and wait for the Song army to run out of food.

Thirdly, he wanted to wait for the arrival of reinforcements from all over the country.

Therefore, Li Rizun had to stand on the city wall to reassure the army.

At the same time, it was also to prevent someone from being unable to bear the pressure and becoming a traitor, secretly opening the city gate and bringing the enemy in.

In the afternoon.

Feng Zhineng arrived at the East City Gate again.

The Phu Liang River is not far to the east of Thang Long Prefecture. Because it is too close to the river and is not suitable for a large-scale attack, there are only small units of the Song army here.

The main force of the Song army was outside the north gate, which was also an important defensive area for Li Rizun.

However, since the Song army also had deployments outside the East City Gate, Li Rizun naturally needed to keep an eye on this area at all times, so he often came to inspect.

By the afternoon, the sky was still bright and the sun seemed to have no intention of setting. The setting sun was shining brightly, and the entire earth turned into a dusk orange-red color, reflecting Feng Zhineng's slightly nervous face.

Rows of Yue troops were patrolling the east city gate all the time. Feng Zhineng stood on the city wall and looked at the Song army in the distance. The Song army did not line up outside the camp, but was always paying attention to what was happening in the city, as if they were also waiting for a traitor in the city to open the gate.

"His Majesty has arrived!"

At this moment, with a loud shout from the eunuch of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, a large number of people suddenly knelt down on the top of the city wall.

A young man wearing a Yue Dynasty dragon robe slowly walked over.

Feng Zhineng hurried over to greet him.

"Your Majesty."

"Get up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"How's it going outside the city?"

The young man was Ly Nhat Tsan, also known as Ly Thanh Tong of the Ly Dynasty of Vietnam in history.

The Ly Dynasty of Vietnam can be considered a relatively glorious dynasty in their history.

After four generations of hard work, namely, King Ly Kong Uun, King Ly Boma, King Ly Seongjong, and King Ly Gwandeok, the Ly Dynasty at that time actually reached a considerable level of prosperity.

As a result, the Li Dynasty often compared itself to the Celestial Empire, wanting to be on par with the Song Dynasty. It also actively expanded abroad and never forgot to invade the borders of the Song Dynasty.

Finally, during the Song-Yue Xining War several decades later, he was awakened by a big blow and realized the gap between him and the real Celestial Empire.

But this time, it seems that there is no time for Li Rizun and his son Li Gande to create the prosperous Li Dynasty.

Feng Zhineng replied, "It's still the same as yesterday, no movement at all."

Li Rizun nodded and said, "Well, always be vigilant."

"yes."

Feng Zhineng responded, then suddenly drew the knife from his waist and slashed at the guards beside Li Rizun, shouting angrily: "Attack!"

Several of Feng Zhineng's generals and trusted soldiers around him immediately launched an attack and encircled the attendants brought by Li Rizun.

Li Rizun was shocked.

For a moment, there was chaos at the East City Gate.

But this chaos didn't last long.

Feng Zhineng is the commander of the East City Gate, and most of the people here are his trusted generals and soldiers.

Li Rizun never expected that his generals would rebel. Soon, more than a hundred guards around him were killed and he himself was captured alive.

At the same time, the movement and chaos on the city wall also alarmed the Song army outside the city, and hundreds of people came out of the Song camp immediately.

"Open the gates!"

Feng Zhineng controlled the chaotic situation, captured Li Rizun, and then gave orders.

Then he looked at the bound Li Rizun with a sly smile and said, "Your Majesty, I'm sorry. All this is because Taizu and the late emperor wanted to invade the Song Kingdom. They are the only ones to blame. I don't want to die with you, the Li family!"

Li Rizun continued to curse, "Feng Zhineng, you despicable beast! Even if I were to be stabbed with a knife or an axe, I would not let you go even if I became a ghost."

"Save your energy to talk to the Song army."

Feng Zhineng waved his hand.

Soon the east city gate was opened, and Feng Zhineng took Li Rizun out of the city to surrender to the Song army.

A large number of Song troops entered from the east gate, and the entire Thang Long Prefecture fell in an instant.

The Li Dynasty, which lasted for more than 30 years, was destroyed.
