The Emperor Taishang of the Song State, that is, the former emperor Huizong Zhao Ji, since he was captured by the empire, Qinzong used the fastest speed to completely cut off his henchmen from the court, but although Huizong seems to have lost all his power, his influence in the Song State is still everywhere.

Fortunately in the past, Huizong Zhao Ji did not cause any chaos after he was captured, but he secretly persuaded some Song officials to surrender, but after Qinzong Zhao Huan took this move to form an alliance with the Jin State, Zhao Ji's role became important.

There are now three kinds of people in the Song Kingdom, one is the Yuzhong faction who only recognizes Zhao Huan of Qinzong as the orthodoxy of the Song State, although these people have a lot of advice on his decisions, but they are still dead set on it, and the representative figures are Li Gang and Seed Master Dao and others.

The second type of people, most of whom are middle- and lower-level officials and generals in various state capitals of the Song State, on the one hand, they do not want to betray Zhao Huan of Qinzong and the Song court he represents, and on the other hand, they hate the slaughter of the common people by foreign races, so it can be said that they are currently in a contradiction.

The last type of people were the people of the Great Song Dynasty, who had become completely disillusioned with the imperial court and were fleeing to other countries.

Now Liu Yanqing has taken out the holy decree of Emperor Zhao Ji, which makes the Seed Master Dao face a very difficult choice.

It stands to reason that Zhao Ji is now also the emperor of the Song Kingdom, and Zhao Huan of Qinzong has not yet been able to remove his own father, but now that the two armies are facing each other, the seed master Dao, who was originally impeached by the courtiers, if he really receives this holy decree, I am afraid that there will be a lot of trouble in the future.

"Father, this will cannot be accepted!" The patriarch and son of the plantation Hao persuaded.

Seed Master Dao naturally knows the relationship, but he has been honest and upright all his life, and it is not easy for him to refuse to accept the will of Emperor Song for his own safety.

Thinking for a while, the seed master Dao was about to order someone to receive the will, and he didn't want the second son around him to bend his bow and shoot at Liu Yanqing under the city.

I have to say that he still knows his father, although his arrow can't hurt Liu Yanqing and Kress and others at all, but it's enough.

Liu Yanqing saw the arrows shooting in the city, and immediately turned around, Kress and the others originally did not expect the Seed Master Dao to surrender according to Zhao Ji's will, so they also gave up, returned directly to the military formation, and began to attack the city.

The 100,000 troops of the seed master Dao are now stationed in Yuncheng, most of them are from the Western Army, and they are the children of the seed family.

This army not only has rich combat experience, but half of them are also equipped with imitation imperial muskets, and their combat effectiveness is definitely not weak.

But it's a pity that the army of the Seed Master Dao is now facing the Imperial Army.

Whether it is the power of the musket or the range of the musket, the Imperial soldiers are equipped with muskets that have been modified several times, so the Cultivation Daobu does not have any advantage in this regard.

Yuncheng is located in the middle of Jingbei Road, several official roads pass through this, south of Xiping, north of Linying, east of Wuyang, west to Shangshui, belongs to the place where soldiers must fight.

The 200,000 imperial troops and the 50,000 Song troops of Liu Yanqing, who surrendered to the empire, had no intention of letting go of the troops of the Seed Master Dao this time, so hundreds of thousands of troops surrounded Yuncheng.

The powerful Jin soldiers retreated to Yingchang Mansion and ruthlessly put the Song army in front, so the imperial army did not need to worry about the supply lines in the rear, and hundreds of small artillery pieces newly manufactured by the Imperial Arsenal in Qiyuan Prefecture were transported to the front line.

Under the roar of artillery fire, the not so strong city wall of Yuncheng trembled from the bombardment, and although there were 100,000 soldiers in the Plantation Division, they could not even touch the edge of the imperial army, so they could only rely on the cumbersome trebuchet to counterattack.

Without the help of the cavalry of the Jin Kingdom, Yuncheng is a dead city, although there are still Li Gang and the army under his command in Tokyo, but Qinzong Zhao Huan will never let these soldiers and horses leave half a step, so the master is isolated.

Participating in the siege of Yuncheng were the second, third, fourth, and fifth legions of the empire, the first legion of Spartacus and most of Lin Chong's Imperial Forest Legion, in order to prevent the Jin soldiers from raiding, they had now detoured to the vicinity of Yingchang Mansion to fortify.

The four Imperial legions, each now numbered to 50,000 soldiers, had the absolute upper hand in the battle.

The most unexpected thing was the great changes that took place among the people of the nearby Song Kingdom as the siege continued.

The imperial army of more than 200,000 people needed to go to the vicinity to requisition people because they had to dig trenches, make horse rejections, set up camp tents, and other miscellaneous things.

Unexpectedly, the imperial soldiers strictly abided by military rules, not only did not harass the people of the Song Kingdom, but also paid salaries or food according to the daily amount of labor, which undoubtedly surprised the people of the Song Kingdom who had been ravaged by the Jin soldiers and the Song soldiers.

The Imperial Army's initiative to publicize may not be very effective, but after these people went back, they spread the word everywhere, and soon those people who could not survive took the initiative to come to the Imperial Army camp to find work.

After coming and going, there was a surprising scene outside the city, the Song army defending the city did not get the help of the people of the Song State, but a large number of people helped in the imperial military camp outside the city, from this point it can be seen that the Song State has been discouraged to the extreme.

After several days of non-stop bombardment, the walls and gates of Yuncheng were bombarded with holes, and after reaching the critical point, the city walls immediately collapsed in several places, but the imperial army did not rush into the city this time, but continued to attack with artillery.

Cannonballs were fired into the city from the broken city gate and the collapsed city wall, and the Song army, who went to seal the gap between the city gate and the city wall, did not know how many people were blown up by the cannonballs for a while.

After clearing the enemy with artillery fire, thousands of Imperial troops poured into Yuncheng......

There was no suspense in this battle at all, and the resistance of the Song army in the city was not fierce.

At present, there is no class that can defeat the Imperial soldiers in street battles, and if they can't give full play to their speed advantage, even if the cavalry of the Jin Kingdom encounters the Imperial Army in the city, it will be a dead end.

When the Imperial Army captured the whole city, Kress, Leonida and other Imperial Army generals and Liu Yanqing came to the mansion, and what they saw was the Planter Dao standing under the flower tree in the courtyard, but he had already stopped breathing.

The seed master Dao did not die at the hands of the imperial army, but killed himself, perhaps he felt ashamed of Zhao Huan of Qinzong and the people of the Song Kingdom, and he didn't want to be a prisoner of the ranks, so he made this choice.

Although the master is a person of the empire, he admires this famous general of the Song Dynasty, whether it is the generals of the empire or Liu Yanqing, who is also from the northwest.

Liu Yanqing came to the corpse leaning against the flower tree in the planting master's way, and sighed: "Uncle Yi, why are you bothering? I want your family to be loyal to the country for several generations, but your ancestors were suppressed by the privy envoy Pang Ji back then, and then the family wrote to ask for merit, and was also collectively suppressed by those civil officials. Even if it is you, although you have made many meritorious contributions, you have been repeatedly dismissed by Zhao Huan. If you are unkind, why should you be so stupid and loyal! ”

As he spoke, it seemed that Liu Yanqing's sadness was also touched, and the more the Song general spoke, the more emotional he became, and finally he cried in front of the planter.

At this point, the seventy-six-year-old famous general of the Western Army of the Song State planted the master Dao, and died after the defeat of Yuncheng.

When Emperor Li Nan learned about it, he ordered Kress and others to prepare a coffin for the Planter Dao, and send it to his hometown Jingzhao Mansion for burial after the war.

Taneshi Michi's second son was also captured in this battle, and the Imperial Army did not harm them, but escorted them to Changsha, the capital of the Empire.

Yuncheng was broken, and in addition to the more than 30,000 troops killed during the attack and defense, the remaining 60,000 or so all chose to surrender, and the last barrier of the Song State was completely dissipated.
