The emperor's decree arrived in the army one day after the army was launched, and such a speed was unimaginable.

After receiving the holy decree, Chen Xinjia was very happy, his main concern was the attitude of the emperor, as for the so-called cautious requirements put forward in the holy decree, he would not care too much, the army was fighting, facing various situations, and the final decision was still to be made by himself.

The holy decree was read among the officers of more than 1,000 households, causing a great shock.

The next move of the army was to attack Uiju.

Yizhou is built close to the Daling River, less than 50 miles away from Montenegro, and only 150 miles away from the Dalinghe City, because its location is biased towards Mongolia, and the strategic location is far less than that of Guangning, so in this place of Liaodong, Yizhou has not attracted much attention. Even after the Later Jin occupied Uiju, it was not built as a military town.

Yizhou and Montenegro city is very different, Montenegrin city is a city temporarily built by Houjin, mainly used for military garrisons, in the city, all are garrisons, there are no residents and merchants, but Yizhou is different, there are residents here, there are also merchants, and the ordinary city in the interior of the Ming Dynasty, there is not much difference.

In Chen Xinjia's view, although Yizhou is not a military town, but to capture such a place, the blow to the Houjin Tartars is very heavy, in fact, in the initial operational deployment, there is no decision to attack Yizhou, as long as Ningyuan City is taken, Yizhou will not be attacked, there are not many garrisons here, lost Guangning, and the Houjin Tartars will not continue to insist on Yizhou. However, Chen Xinjia had a different understanding, and he believed that it was necessary to capture Yizhou, which would help boost morale.

After capturing Montenegro, Chen Xinjia still carefully analyzed many situations, and he was happy, but he also had to pay attention to whether there was any strange behavior in it. In the end, he still believed that the army could easily take the city of Montenegro due to the negligence and contempt of the Houjin Tatars, and the next attack on Uiju might face a severe and brutal battle, after all, the battle began. After the Golden Tartar will be fully prepared.

On the ninth day of the fifth month, the army arrived on the outskirts of Uiju.

The city of Yiju is not large, but it is close to the Daling River behind it, and the army can only surround the city from three sides.

Chen Xinjia still closely watched the defense of the city of Yizhou, and to his somewhat please, his judgment was accurate, judging from the day's march, the distance from Montenegro to Yizhou did not encounter any obstacles. It seems that the Houjin Tartars did not pay attention to the defense of Yiju and considered it insignificant.

The city of Yizhou, the gate of the city is closed, there are some soldiers of the Houjin Tartar waiting on the city wall, and there is no other vigilance for the rest, the city wall of Yizhou is not high, and the visual inspection is about three meters, such a city wall. It did not have much effect on resisting the offensive of the Great Army.

According to the original plan. On the eighth day of the fifth month, the city of Yizhou was attacked, but because the emperor's holy decree arrived in the army, it was delayed for a day, and there was not much of a problem, the battle of Liaodong had already begun, and there was no problem of secrecy. In addition, after the army captured the city of Montenegro, it rested for three days, and the Houjin Tartars had already done all the preparations.

Chen Xinjia knew very well that the battle with the Houjin Tartars focused on two aspects. The first is to occupy the city and territory, and the second is to exterminate the Houjin Tartars to the greatest extent, and it is necessary to eliminate as many Houjin soldiers as possible in order to truly shake the rule of the Houjin, otherwise the Houjin Tartars will make a comeback.

At noon, the offensive began.

It is exactly the same as the routine of attacking the city of Montenegro, first of all, the artillery is powerful, but this time, because the city wall of Yizhou is not high, Chen Xinjia adopted Zu Dashou's suggestion, and the focus of the artillery attack is aimed at the city wall.

It's a pity that the artillery was not able to blow up the city wall, this is also a place that Zu Dashou is not familiar with, Yizhou belongs to the old city, the city wall has been continuously repaired, although it is not high, but it is very strong, and it will not collapse for a while and a half, coupled with the strength of the artillery fire, and when Su Tiancheng attacked Dalinghe City, it is completely different, but the role of artillery fire is still significant, on the city wall of Yizhou, after experiencing the baptism of artillery fire, the original battle flag has long disappeared.

The attack of the foot soldiers began.

Chen Xinjia, who had been holding a telescope and observing the battle situation, had a smile on his face, this scene was very similar to the attack on the city of Montenegro, on the city wall, there were not many Houjin Tartars in sight, he thought that it would not take long to capture Yizhou, maybe it would take a few hours.

But this time, his prediction was wrong.

At the end of the artillery attack, when the infantry began to attack the city, a large number of Houjin Tartars appeared on the city wall, and began to resist stubbornly, and the first group of attacking border troops, when they arrived under the city wall, encountered countless rounds of arrow rain, and suffered considerable casualties, so that the border troops who charged behind were affected by some emotions.

The two sides began a brutal strangulation, while constantly attacking, while desperately defending, flintlock pistols and bows and arrows, at this time played a huge role, in the process of attacking, casualties on both sides began to appear in large numbers.

An hour later, the second round of the offensive began.

After still the artillery attack, the second team began to charge.

On the city wall, a large number of Houjin Tartars appeared again, and the border troops who learned the lesson held shields in their hands, so that they could always avoid being shot by bows and arrows in the vital parts, but the arrow rain of Houjin Tartars was very tricky, and there were constantly border soldiers who were hit by arrows in their hands and feet, fell to the ground, and were in pain, of course, the flintlock pistols of the border army were also powerful, and with the sound of gunfire, there were constantly Houjin Tartars on the city wall falling.

From this time on, the attack of the border army was extremely fierce, regardless of casualties, desperately rushing towards the city wall.

The Houjin Tartars on the city wall were obviously unable to cope with it, and the strength of the confrontation weakened.

Chen Xinjia, who has been observing this scene, doesn't know what Lu Dao is for, but his heart is more peaceful, if he didn't encounter any resistance in the process of attacking Yizhou, he really has to be suspicious, could it be said that this is really a strategy designed by Houjin Tartar, but seeing the tragedy of Yizhou's attack, he believes that Houjin Tartar has attracted great attention.

While the attack was still underway, the scouts suddenly came to report.

"Dashuai, there is an abnormal situation in the Daling River behind the city of Yizhou."

"What's going on, tell me quickly."

"There were quite a few wooden boats, and a large number of people gathered in this direction."

Chen Xinjia's body trembled, and he turned to Tang Haitai beside him and spoke.

"Tang Haitai, you immediately find Zu Dashou and tell him, just say that the commander asked to strengthen the siege and take Yizhou City as quickly as possible, and then the Golden Tartar is going to escape."

The drums began to intensify, and countless border troops began to pour towards the city wall of Uiju from three directions.

Chen Xinjia held the binoculars and remained motionless, because Yizhou relied on Dalinghe City and could not be surrounded, and Houjin Tartar found that the situation was not right and withdrew from behind, which he did not expect, but this move was also reflected, Yizhou is not a military town, and Houjin Tartar did not use heavy troops to guard, which is not strange, even if it is arranged by himself, after losing the city of Montenegro, he will not place heavy troops in Yizhou, and Yizhou can be defended or not.

Perhaps in order to cover the retreat, the Houjin Tartars on the city wall, the resistance also began to be strong, this time the fighting, it seemed more cruel, both sides were bound to win, the border army had several people on the city wall, but they were quickly repulsed.

Half an hour passed.

The corners of Chen Xinjia's mouth were bloodshot, and the scouts kept coming to report that there were already several wooden boats, which transported many people across the Daling River, and turned back to continue to pick up people, but this side was unable to take Yizhou City for a long time, so he could only watch the Houjin Tartar and escape in a wooden boat.

The offensive continued until the end of the day, and the turning point finally appeared.

After paying a large number of casualties, the border army finally broke through from the south direction, part of the border army attacked the city wall, and the Houjin Tartar started a fight, and then, more and more border troops on the city wall, the fierce fighting began to transfer to the city wall, the east and west directions of the border army, also began to work on the city wall, more and more border troops on the city wall.

Half an hour later, the south gate was opened by the border troops who rushed up the city wall.

A large number of border troops poured into Uiju, and by this time, Uiju was truly breached.

The brutal fighting continued, and the border army that invaded Uiju began to purge the Houjin Tartars in the city.

But this kind of fighting soon changed the taste and turned into a killing of the people.

The people and merchants in the city of Yiju who had no time to evacuate were all regarded as Houjin Tartars, or spies who supported Houjin Tartars, and suffered brutal massacres, women in the city were insulted and raped, and then ruthlessly killed, countless shops were looted, gold and silver treasures entered the pockets of the border soldiers, and some border soldiers did not even let go of children.

At that time, Chen Xinjia entered Yizhou City, which has basically become a dead city, except for the heavily guarded border army, there are no other living people in sight, there is blood everywhere, the ground is full of corpses, especially the corpses of some women, the clothes are not covered, and the lower body is even bleeding.

Chen Xinjia witnessed all this, but he didn't say anything.

Liaodong has suffered from the invasion of the Houjin Tartars for a long time, and the sins committed by the Houjin Tartars in the people of Liaodong are too numerous to read, and many of the people who have suffered are the families of the border soldiers, this kind of hatred is difficult to resolve in a short period of time, Chen Xinjia believes that this kind of hatred needs to have a place to dissolve, and it is understandable that there are some atrocities in the process of the war.
