If Li Xin knew Huang Taiji's inner black thoughts, he would definitely be wronged, he really didn't play any conspiracy, just implemented the strategic intent conceived by the emperor, there were not too many specific tactics, it just depended on the situation, he just felt that Yizhou City was broken, rotten and too small, and it would be demolished by hand. It's not as good as the bombardment is refreshing, and it can kill and shock the enemy, plus it will take a little time to grind under the city of Yiju for two days.

The Imperial Expeditionary Force set up hundreds of Franc cannons to bombard the city of Yiju indiscriminately for two days, and only officially launched an attack on the third day, the soldiers charged in front of the large shield, carrying the long ladder to climb the city, and the musketeers were behind, rushing to the city of Yiju.

"The Ming army is coming, go to the city, go to the city."

In the city, the officers shouted loudly, and ordered the soldiers hidden in the Tibetan pit to go to the city, and the artillery of the Ming army bombarded indiscriminately for two consecutive days, killing and injuring many Xian Imperial people, and some soldiers, the buildings in Dongcheng District were basically destroyed, and the city walls were scarred, which caused great psychological pressure on the defenders and people in the city, and the morale was greatly affected.

If the artillery of the Ming army is so raging for a few more days, it is estimated that many people will collapse due to fear, but fortunately, the Ming army finally attacked, which made Abatai breathe a big sigh of relief, as long as the Ming soldiers who retreated from the siege can they stabilize the morale of the army and consume the vitality of the Ming army.

The golden soldiers hiding in the pit of the Tibetan soldiers rushed to the head of the city, and waited for the battle, and under the city, the dense soldiers of the expeditionary force let out an earth-shattering cry, surging like a tide, and then, when there was still a certain distance from the moat, suddenly stopped.

What the hell is it about?

The officer of the Jin Army commanding at the head of the city was stunned, and he didn't react for a while, he didn't play like this if he wanted to play feints, right?

Boom Boom Boom Boom ......

At this moment, hundreds of Franc cannons roared one after another, one after another flowering cannonballs whistled out, smashed down on the city, on the city wall, burst out of clusters of fire and billowing gunsmoke, rubble shot, stumps and broken arms were thrown away, and the entire section of the city wall of the east city gate was shrouded in billowing gunsmoke.

Li Xin, Gao Jie and other senior generals all stood on a high place, holding a monocular to watch, after two days of indiscriminate bombardment, the artillery bombardment of the head of the city was measured, and suddenly played such a trick, it can be regarded as a big dish for the Jin army before the official siege of the city, I don't know how many Jin soldiers can be killed? Unfortunately, most of the shells hit the city walls.

The sudden artillery bombardment killed the golden soldiers on the head of the city, no one would have thought that the Ming army would suddenly come to such a move, and they did not expect the Ming army's artillery accuracy to be so high, except for a very few lucky ones who were lucky to curl up at the battlements, and the lucky ones escaped, the others were not so lucky, the broken corpses, stumps and broken arms were everywhere, and the survivors were scared to death.

Taking advantage of the panic of the Jin army, before they could react, the soldiers of the expeditionary force had already rushed forward, throwing bags of mud and sand into the moat, more than 1,000 people went back and forth several times, and they had blocked four large passages on the moat that led directly to the city wall, and the soldiers of the first attack echelon launched an attack, they shouted and rushed across the moat, rushed to the city, set up a long ladder, leaned on the city wall, held a shield in one hand, and climbed up with an escalator in the other.

Several groups of musketeers lined up beside the moat, raising their guns to shoot at the city, covering their comrades who climbed the city with a dense rain of bullets, and behind the musketeers there were a bunch of soldiers holding large shields, they were responsible for covering the snipers of the Ming Dynasty to snipe the golden soldiers who dared to take the lead.

There are very few snipers in a hundred shots, although many people have been trained, but they are still being trained, and Li Xin's expeditionary force has only a dozen groups of snipers, all of which are now gathered and sent to the front to snipe the golden soldiers who dare to show their heads, and provide cover for the soldiers in Pancheng as much as possible.

At the head of the city, under the curses and shouts of the officers, a large number of golden soldiers poured into the city, and the first batch of soldiers defending the city suffered heavy casualties, and Abatai had to send a second group of people, and the soldiers defending the city were mixed with many Xian Imperial people, who were all cannon fodder who were forcibly recruited.

The artillery fire of the Ming army under the city is still roaring, but the defenders on the head of the city are no longer afraid, because the shells of the Ming army are all fired into the city and do not fall on the city, the reason is very simple, the Ming army has rushed to the city wall, and the shelling will definitely make the city and be injured by mistake.

The golden soldiers and fresh soldiers on the head of the city desperately threw stones and rolling wood under the city, and the archers opened their bows and shot arrows, causing certain casualties to the Ming army besieging the city.

On a long ladder, a soldier of the expeditionary force was shot by a strong arrow, screaming and falling, and another soldier struggled to climb up, and when he was halfway up the climb, he hooked the long ladder with his left arm, took off a thunderbolt from his waist, lit the fuse with the fire rope hanging on his chest, and threw it into the city.

With a loud bang, several golden soldiers who were preparing to shoot arrows screamed and fell, a cold arrow came, the expeditionary soldier was hit by an arrow in the neck, and fell to the city with a scream, and the archer who put the cold arrow was also shot in the head by the sniper, turned over and fell.

In the melee, a group of soldiers with shields rushed to the city gate, took down the explosive bags carried behind their backs, and stacked them at the city gate passage, which was the rhythm of using the explosives bags to blow up the city.

That's right, it's to blow up the city, the city of Yiju is old and small, there is really no need to spend time digging tunnels, just pile up explosives bags and blow up the city gates. The city gate is the strongest place, but Li Xin doesn't believe that it can't collapse, it doesn't matter if it's thick, at most he can stuff some more explosives, he has a lot of explosives to squander, not to mention that the city wall of Yizhou is really broken, and it is not as strong and thick as the small county town of Daming.

It's not that Li Xin is arrogant, but the Xian Empire in this era is really poor, the land is barren, the materials are scarce, corrupt officials are rampant, and there are civil uprisings.

The abnormal movements of the expeditionary force were still noticed by the golden soldiers at the head of the city, they desperately poured hot oil down, threw down torches, and detonated the explosive bags that were only half piled up, and more than a dozen soldiers of the expeditionary force were blown to pieces, but the east gate also collapsed with a bang.

The city wall at the gate of the city is indeed the strongest place, although it collapsed, but the stacked explosives were not enough, not all of them collapsed, only a small part of it fell, but for the expeditionary force carrying a large number of thunderstorms, it was enough, they did not have to climb the long ladder, and threw the thunderbolts directly into the city.

The city gate has just collapsed, the billowing dust and smoke are filled, a group of expeditionary soldiers have braved the rain of arrows sprinkled on the city to rush in, some soldiers fell from the arrows, some soldiers climbed up the pile of rubble, rushed in, but were blocked by a large group of Jin soldiers, the two sides fought together, and the kung fu of the blink of an eye fell in a pool of blood, and the hand-to-hand white-knuckle combat was indeed the strength of the Jin army.

The Jin soldiers used their swords to drive the people of the Xian Empire in the city to throw debris at the collapsed small gap, trying to fill the gap, and several soldiers of the expeditionary force attached to the city wall set off the thunder fuse and threw it into the city.

The people of the Xian Empire had not yet seen these iron bumps with wisps of green smoke, but out of instinct, they could feel that these things must be very dangerous, and they reacted quickly and screamed in fright, turned around and desperately tried to run backwards, but behind them were crowded with companions carrying all kinds of miscellaneous items, and everyone was pushed together.

Boom Boom Boom ......

The thunderbolts thrown in exploded one after another, shrapnel and gravel burst out, and those panicked cannon fodder were blown down piece by piece, and the remnants were frightened.

The soldiers of the expeditionary force opened the way with thunderbolts, and after throwing more than a dozen thunderbolts directly in front of the gap and on the left and right sides, they rushed into it without waiting for the dust and smoke from the explosion to dissipate, and continued to open the way with thunderbolts, and the two sides launched a fierce battle of life and death at this small gap.

Li Xin supervised the battle in front of the battle, and when he saw the city gate collapse, he decisively sent two battalions of soldiers to attack head-on, and each sent two battalions to climb the city to storm and attack, focusing on fighting for the city head positions on both sides of the broken wall, so as to reduce the pressure on the frontal assaulting troops.

At the gap, more than a dozen soldiers of the expeditionary force who rushed in carried the muskets of the army stabbed and a group of golden soldiers engaged in a white-knives battle, although they were very brave, and they also stabbed down seven or eight golden soldiers, but the number was too small, and they were all killed in a few breaths.

Boom Boom Boom ......

More than a dozen thunderbolts were thrown in, blowing up this team of golden soldiers on their backs, flesh and blood flying, although some of the golden soldiers were not blown up, but they were also splashed by the flames that shot everywhere, they instinctively reached out to shoot, wanting to extinguish the fire, who knew that even the palms of their hands were burning, and they were so frightened that they desperately called for help.

Some of them fell to the ground and rolled quickly, trying to extinguish the fire on their bodies, but how to roll, the flames on their bodies not only did not extinguish, but on the contrary, they burned bigger and bigger, some golden soldiers reached out to help extinguish the fire, who knew that their hands were only touched by the flames, and even their own flames were burned, and they were so frightened that they screamed for help, and others were so frightened that they didn't dare to get closer, and could only watch their companions burn into a burning man.
