At this time, Yili Licheng has become a gathering place for Muslims in the entire Western Regions, and most of the Muslims from all over the Western Regions gather here, and spend a lot of money to build more than a dozen large and small Muslim temples in the city, that is, mosques in later generations.

These Muslim temples are all magnificently built and have gathered a huge amount of wealth, and it is said that the richest Hu people in the entire Western Regions are the Muslims in these mosques!

These riches and magnificent mosques have also become a great help for the Muslims to preach, and all the poor Hu people in the Western Regions flock to them, and the trend of Hui in the Western Regions is very violent. Fortunately, Liu Juntao led the army to kill here at this time!

After more than 300,000 soldiers of the Ming army besieged the city, Yili did not sit still and wait for the Muslims in the city, these people knew in their hearts that the Ming army would never let Islam spread, and everyone could only help Yili to resist the Ming army together, and only by winning this battle could there be a way out.

The next day, the Ming army launched an attack, 200,000 servants bear the brunt, attacking simultaneously on all sides, the rear of the army, two miles away from the city, the artillery departments of the various departments of the Tiance army also set up a posture, and began to bombard the enemy troops in the city continuously, for a time the whole city turned the city into a sea of fire, everywhere were roaring, bursting shells, everywhere were panicked Hu people, everywhere were roaring soldiers, and the noise was endless.

The artillery of the various units of the Tiance army roared for an hour, and when the artillery fire stopped, most of the Yili Li City had fallen into a sea of fire, and the city wall had become incomplete, and the Yili Li Li soldiers and horses guarding the city were even more killed and wounded.

At this moment, the artillery of the Tiance Army outside the city stopped shelling one after another, but before Yili in the city could take a breath from the defenders inside, the 200,000 servant army fired thousands of arrows, and the rain of arrows that covered the sky and the sun struck, suddenly covering most of the sky.

In the blink of an eye, the Tartar soldiers stationed at the head of Yili Lili fell like raindrops of arrows, and the rest of the defenders also completely lost their resistance and began a comprehensive rout.

And Yili exerted the servant troops on all sides of the city at the same time, and four heavy siege vehicles began to slam into the four city gates, and the huge impact sound made the soldiers in the city Yili break the hearts and begin to move around the city.

However, Yili turned the Muslims in the city into a frenzy, these extremists roared madly, brandished the weapons in their hands and slaughtered the defeated Yili soldiers, driving those routs back to the city to resist the attack of the Ming army.

Those routs were also ruthless at this time, and they fought with the Muslims in the city one after another, and for a time they also made the inner city more and more chaotic, and even shouted that the sound of killing was even more noisy than that of the city.

Outside the city, 200,000 servant troops have fully attacked, at least tens of thousands of soldiers and horses have ascended to the top of the city, in the face of the weak resistance of Yili Force, these servant troops are invincible, and it only took an hour to capture the east, west, and north three sides of the city tower, the city gates on these three sides were opened in an instant, like a tide of servant soldiers and horses poured into the city.

At this time, the Muslims and Yili, who were fighting in the city, scattered the souls of the soldiers inside, and were overwhelmed by the servants who rushed into the city, and they could not resist at all, and retreated towards the center of the city.

In the end, nearly 100,000 Yili forced the soldiers and tens of thousands of fanatical Muslims in the center of the city, surrounded by tens of thousands of servants and horses. At this time, the forces of the two sides were very close, and a stalemate was formed, and neither could gain the upper hand for a while.

And the officers and soldiers of the Tiance Army outside the city also stopped the pace of entering the city, and they also tried to make the inner city not too big, and it could not accommodate so many soldiers and horses, even if the soldiers of the Tiance Army rushed into the city, they could only watch the battle in the rear, and they could not rush to the front to engage in the battle.

After receiving the news from the front, Liu Juntao groaned, and ordered the servant army in the city to temporarily retreat, and the various departments covered each other to withdraw outside the city.

At the same time, Liu Juntao ordered the officers and men of all units of the Tiance Army to suspend their entry into the city, pull out all the Shenji artillery vehicles attached to each department, and prepare all the remaining artillery with ammunition, and when the servant army withdrew from the city, ten thousand artillery would be fired.

In this regard, Xiang Qun, the head of the military department, was a little worried, and the soldiers of the army had to withdraw as soon as they broke through the city, which would make the morale of the Tartar army in the city high, thinking that they had repelled the Ming army, and the officers and soldiers of all departments would try to rush into the city again, I am afraid that it would be more and more difficult.

But Liu Juntao said: "If this battle continues, it will be a war of attrition, even if it is the servant army that is lost, it will be a loss for our army!" You all remember that the strength of our army is firearms, and the battles that can be solved with artillery shells and lead bullets must not be fought with human lives! ”

This theorem of Liu Juntao was also remembered by everyone and became an iron law for the Ming army to march and fight in the future.

A few years later, the military industry of the Ming Dynasty flourished, and the firearms equipped by the Ming army were not only more advanced, but also the output also showed a blowout growth, so that the Ming army began to rapidly transform into a hot soldier ~ weapon army, and the foreign war was also arrogant.

Of course, that's all for later.

At this time, Yili quickly withdrew the servant army in the city to the outside of the city, and Yili in the city greatly boosted the morale of the soldiers and horses and Muslims in the city, and sure enough, he thought that he had temporarily repelled the attack of the Ming army, and even launched a counterattack with a shout.

However, this counterattack did not last long, and was repelled by the soldiers of the Tiance Army who still occupied the four walls and four gates, and in the dense sound of birds, they also tried to leave at least thousands of corpses of the soldiers and Muslims inside, and fled back to the center of the city in a hurry.

At this moment, Yili fired ten thousand cannons outside the city, a huge roar resounded through the heavens and the earth, and even the earth shook for it, and the continuous shelling made the center of the city burst into flames.

Such a battle was unbearable for the Muslims, and the original strong faith gradually collapsed under the roar of artillery, and finally turned into rubble.

And those who also force the soldiers and horses in the interior are even more unbearable, at this time they have completely lost their formation, almost all the soldiers are wandering around the city, many people are running towards the city gate, wanting to surrender to the Ming army, but they are greeted only by the ruthless platoon, and the earth-shattering thunder that rains like raindrops.

The Ming army refused to surrender!

Outside the city, Liu Juntao led the ministers of the shogunate to watch the battle situation in the city, and the city also tried to see the tragic situation of the soldiers and horses and Muslims inside, but no one sighed.

In the eyes of everyone, these Hu people are all disasters, and only by completely eradicating them can the Western Regions develop steadily and the Ming Dynasty can have long-term peace and stability! This kind of thinking is also deeply influenced by Liu Juntao, for so many years, whenever he fights against the Hu people, Liu Juntao will never be merciful, even if he recruits the Hu people to form a servant army, he will definitely use these servant armies as cannon fodder, which has become an unwritten rule of the Tiance Army.

The shelling lasted for a whole hour, and when the last shell exploded in the city, most of the soldiers and Muslims in the city had already suffered casualties, and even many people committed suicide without a way out, including some Muslims!

Seeing this, Liu Juntao immediately ordered the servant army to rush into the city, and a massacre of the city immediately began.

The massacre lasted all night, and when the 200,000 servants rushed to kill people in the city, Liu Juntao led the soldiers of the Tiance Army and Shaanxi Town to camp outside the city.

On this night, the silence of the Ming army camp contrasted sharply with the hustle and bustle of the inner city, as if it were a heaven and a hell!

When the dawn of the next day came, the entire Yili city had been reduced to ruins, and the Yili soldiers and Muslims in the city had not survived!

After the war, Liu Juntao sent the soldiers of the Eagle Yang Army into the city and took over the defense of the empty city.

At the same time, Liu Juntao also ordered all the mosques in the city to be searched, and the countless treasures in them were made and shipped, all of which were used to offset the military salaries, and most of the rest were transported back to Beijing and handed over to the state treasury.

A few days later, Liu Juntao wrote a report and sent 800 li to Jingshi urgently, along with a copy of the plan to completely ban Islam in the entire Western Regions!

After these two copies were sent out, Liu Juntao ordered to completely eradicate Yili Licheng, and since then, Yili has completely exterminated the Li as a major tribe in the Western Regions by the Ming army!

Then, Liu Juntao led more than 300,000 Ming troops to sing triumphantly, and the whole army returned to Turpan City to garrison and rest.

During this period, the news of the Ming army swept the city like a hurricane, swept through the entire Western Regions, and spread in the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains, and the Hu people in the entire Western Regions trembled.

Hu people everywhere are waiting for the Ming Dynasty to dispose of the vast territory north of the Tianshan Mountains, and many Hu tribes who believe in Islam are full of grief and indignation.

No matter what the Ming Dynasty will do with the vast territory north of the Tianshan Mountains in the future, the attitude towards Islam is already very clear, that is, a total ban!

This point is already very obvious from what the Ming army did in the war, even if the Ming court will have scruples, there will never be too many deviations.

Before the Ming Dynasty had not yet decided, this period of time was a torturous torment for all the Hu tribes in the Western Regions, everyone was looking forward to it, and at the same time, under the deterrence of hundreds of thousands of Ming troops in Turpan City, they did not dare to make the slightest move, otherwise the three major tribes of Turpan, Yili Jiangli, and Duohuoti were a lesson from the past!

At this time, none of the Hu tribes in the Western Regions can be compared with the three major tribes, which is also the most desperate point of these Hu people: the Ming army can destroy the three major tribes in succession, which means that the entire Western Regions is in the pocket of the Ming Dynasty, and the Hu people in the Western Regions can only completely obey orders, otherwise the three major tribes will be their end!
