Da Song: Possessed by Overlord at the beginning

Chapter 53 Tonight is the time to break the city
Chao Tian nodded, then frowned, and said worriedly, "If that's the case, wouldn't it hurt Li Yuanfang?"

"My lord, don't worry. Fang La's generals are completely damaged. Now the only general in the city who can fight is General Li Yuanfang, so Fang La still has to rely on him. Fang La knows this well."

"Our army can attack the city non-stop starting tomorrow. When Fang La can't stand it anymore, he will re-activate General Li Yuanfang. By then, our army will cooperate internally and externally, and we can win a decisive battle."

Hearing Xu Da's analysis, Chao Tian nodded secretly. The benefits of having a large number of talents under his command have now been revealed, and he doesn't have to worry about anything at all.

"General Xu is right. Since this is the case, from tomorrow onwards, various ministries will take turns attacking Qingxi County, and we cannot give the army and horses of the Southern Kingdom in the city any time to breathe." Chao Tian said immediately.

"Yes!"

The generals took orders, and then they went back to prepare.

On the second day, Chao's army stormed towards Qingxi County like a tide. The general in charge of defending the city wall was He Conglong, the imperial teacher of the Imperial Forest Army.

As Xu Da had guessed, after Li Yuanfang led the defeated army back to Qingxi County, Fang La imprisoned him in a prison and appointed He Conglong as the general in charge of the Qingxi city defense.

He Conglong's martial arts skills were average, and his ability to lead troops in battle was also average, but now that Fang La really had no generals under his command, he had no choice but to use He Conglong.

"Your Majesty, something is wrong with Your Majesty!"

A hurried voice broke the silence of the Southern Palace.

Fang La sat on the dragon chair with a sad face, and the civil and military ministers on both sides were sighing and frowning.

Hearing the screams outside, everyone looked outside, only to see a small school running in from the outside and came to the main hall.

The schoolboy clasped his fists in panic at Fang La who was sitting on the dragon chair, and said in a panic, "Your Majesty, the big... The big thing is not good. The Song army killed the city wall, and the brothers are almost unable to resist."

Hearing Xiaoxiao's words, there was an uproar in the hall, and even Fang La was shocked. He didn't expect the Song army to be so brave and kill the city wall in such a short period of time.

"Where is He Conglong? What does he eat?" Fang La roared angrily.

The small school was startled by Fang La's sudden rage, and immediately said, "Teacher He Conglong was killed by a black-faced general of the Song Army."

Hearing Xiaoxiao's words, everyone in the hall became even more flustered. The only remaining general was killed. Who else could resist the attack of the Song army.

"My dear friends, who can resist the Song army's attack?" Immediately, Fang La glanced at the Chinese and military officials in the hall, and asked eagerly.

Hearing Fang La's question, the hall suddenly fell into dead silence, and everyone bowed their heads in silence, for fear that Fang La would let them go to die.

Seeing the reaction of the civil and military officials, Fang La couldn't help being furious, pointing at the officials and roaring: "Why, everyone is dumb? Or deaf? Didn't you hear what I just said?"

"Every one of you usually claims to be loyal ministers and good generals, eat the king's salary, and be loyal to the king. Now that the country is in crisis, you are pretending to be deaf and dumb!"

Fang La was furious, but all the officials were silent, and he had no choice but to bow his head and keep silent.

"His Majesty!"

At this moment, Lou Minzhong, the prime minister of the left, came out, saluted Fang La Shen, and said, "There is still one person in my court who can withstand the Song army's attack."

"Prime Minister, tell me, who is it?"

Hearing Lou Minzhong's words, Fang La's eyes lit up, as if he had grasped a life-saving straw, he asked eagerly.

"That's the former hussar general Li Yuanfang." Prime Minister Zuo Lou Minzhong answered truthfully.

Hearing Lou Minzhong's words, Fang La was overjoyed. Then he remembered that Li Yuanfang was still in prison, and immediately ordered Li Yuanfang to be reinstated to command all the troops and horses in the city to resist the Song army's attack.

After the order was issued, Li Yuanfang was immediately released and the official was reinstated.

Immediately, Li Yuanfang had already expected it, and he immediately took over the military power in Qingxi County and led the remaining troops to fight with the Song army on the city wall.

The battle went from morning to night. The Jade Rabbit rose and the Golden Crow set. Seeing that it was getting late, the Song Army called Jin to withdraw.

And Qingxi County, also under the leadership of Li Yuanfang, almost repelled the Song army and kept the city wall.

Knowing that Li Yuanfang had kept Qingxi County, Fang La and the others couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief, and Fang La immediately appointed Li Yuanfang as the Grand Marshal of the Southern Kingdom to command the entire city.

Besides, after Chao's army retreated, news of Li Yuanfang's reactivation also reached Chao Tian's ears.

Immediately, General Chao Tian's advisor Liu Bowen, military counselor Wang Chongyang, General Xu Da and others were called to the tent of the Chinese army.

"Li Yuanfang has successfully obtained the military power in Qingxi County, so he should be able to act tonight?" Chao Tian asked happily.

"Yes, tonight is the time to break the city."

Military advisor Liu Bowen and Xu Da and others looked at each other and said in unison.

Hearing the words of military advisor Liu Bowen, Chao Tian was immediately overjoyed, Qingxi County was captured tonight, so Chao Tian arranged for troops to surround the four gates of Qingxi County, making sure not to release a single soldier from the Southern Kingdom.

Secretly ordered Jin Yiwei to agree with Li Yuanfang in the city to agree on a time, to cooperate with outsiders at night, to attack by surprise, and capture Qingxi County.

Time flies, the sky is dark, the moon is dark and the wind is high, a cloud of thick clouds covers the moon tightly, and the wind roars, as if it is blowing the horn for the Chao family army to attack.

The various units of the Chao family army quietly ambushed outside the four gates of Qingxi County, only waiting for the signal in the city to sound, and then launched a charge.

Whoosh!
A cloud piercing arrow resounded through the sky, instantly breaking the silence of the night sky.

"Brothers, rush in and capture Fang La alive!"

Seeing the Cloud Piercing Arrow, Chao Tian immediately couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart, roared angrily, and charged towards Qingxi County first.

"Catch Fang La alive!"

"Kill, kill and go into the city!"

"Capture the Fang La traitor alive!"

All of a sudden, the shouts of killing around Qingxi County were loud, and troops from Chao's army rushed towards Qingxi County from all directions.

Li Yuanfang in the city had already planted his Jinyiwei army horses among the four gates. When the signal sounded, all the Jinyiwei people shot out one after another, beheaded the guards, opened the city gates, and welcomed Chao's army into the city.

By the time Chao's army rushed to the city gate, all four gates of Qingxi County had been opened, and the speed of Chao's army's soldiers and horses was reduced, and they rushed directly into the city.

In an instant, the whole Qingxi County was screaming for killing, and Chao's army was everywhere, and a large number of Nanguo soldiers were beheaded by Chao's soldiers in their sleep.

Fang La and other royal families of the Southern Kingdom, as well as the civil and military ministers of the Southern Kingdom, all slipped through the net and were captured alive by Chao's army. None of them escaped.

When Fang La was caught, she was very calm, as if she knew it long ago, and looked at Li Yuanfang who was leading the army rushing in, very calm.

"Why? I gave you a high official, generous salary, and immense trust. Why did you betray me?"

Fang La looked directly at Li Yuanfang and asked in a flat tone.
