Abatai's military camp was built on a small hillside, the slope is not too steep, but it is not too wide, making it difficult for the attacking expeditionary force to deploy troops, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and holding the main road to Yiju and other places, and nearly 10,000 elite cavalry are cruising nearby, which is very reasonable, and Li Xin will also arrange it in the same way, but Abatai forgot the key point, the musket of the expeditionary force, and the frenzied carry a large number of Fran machine guns, all of which are long-range attacks and are powerful.

In those years, the army camped in the field, and basically cut down and drove piles to build, and there was a lot of time to dig and pour the earth into the middle of the two rows of wooden piles, and then tamp and reinforce, but Abatai did not have much time to dig and tamp the soil to reinforce, his military camp was full of tree stumps, and the tent was set up in the camp.

Li Xin did not play his cards according to common sense, did not send troops to attack, only used dozens of Franc machine guns to bombard indiscriminately, not only blew up the camp fence, but also set fire to the tents in the camp, and even killed and wounded the Jin soldiers who were guarding the camp fence and preparing to resist the attack of the expeditionary force.

This is a completely unequal offensive and defensive battle, in the face of the expeditionary force's dense artillery coverage, the 10,000 Jin troops in the battalion were killed and wounded more than 2,000 people without any chance to perform, the entire military camp was shrouded in skyrocketing flames, had to abandon the camp and fled, the extremely aggrieved Abatai had to retreat to Yizhou, and at the same time sent someone to report that he was leading the army to storm the imperial city of Hanyang.

Li Xin led the army to besiege Yizhou City, saying that it was a siege, but in fact, it was just blocking the east city gate, he still played the old routine, and he didn't even say hello, so he ordered the soldiers to set up cannons, and dozens of Franc machine guns smashed their heads and covered their faces into the city, as for the people of the Xian Empire in the city, he didn't care, not my race, his heart must be different, moreover, this Yizhou City must be taken, as the bridgehead of the Ming Dynasty's annexation of the Xian Empire, the fewer people in the city, the better, the fewer the safer, anyway, he has to emigrate, in a word, he has been completely brainwashed by Zhu Jian.

In order to prevent the attack of Abataib's two cavalry units outside the city, Li Xin distributed the main forces on the left and right flanks, and the strength of the Chinese army was a little weak, but even if it was so arranged, he did not have the courage to lead the army out of the city to fight.

Before the expansion of the major new armies, there were basically more than 3,000 people, and the rear-loading muskets were also insufficient.

Now it's okay, he has two elite divisions and three new divisions, a total of 50,000 troops, equipped with a large number of rear-loading muskets, hundreds of Franc machine guns, and a large number of more powerful bitter acid thunder, mobilized more than 100,000 people, Liaodong Navy Division to ensure the logistics supply of ammunition, grain and grass, this is a large corps of operations, there is no pressure, if you can't win, you don't need the emperor to punish the crime, he will cut off his head first.

Under the cover of intensive artillery fire, a large number of buildings in the city were blown down and ignited, many people were killed and injured, the indiscriminate bombardment of the expeditionary force did make the people of the fresh empire in the city miserable, the city of Yizhou was captured by the Jin army, with the wolf nature of the Jin people, it must be burning, killing and looting, doing all kinds of evil, so that the people in the city are in hell, the indiscriminate artillery bombardment of the expeditionary force made them even worse, miserable, but they don't know, the more suffering is still to come.

At the mouth of the Liaohe River, the sails of the Liaodong Navy Division are lined up, and the warships shuttle back and forth, transporting boats of soldiers ashore, along with a large number of military materials such as Franc machine guns, ammunition, herb food, etc., and the most transported is cement.

To encroach on the Xian Empire, it is necessary to set up a bridgehead on the other side of the Liao River, Yizhou must be taken, and a strong military fortress must be built on high ground, which can not only be used as horns with Yizhou, but also control the Liaohe River ferry to ensure logistics supply, and Yizhou City should be re-expanded and reinforced, and the Liaohe River Ferry should build a wharf and erect a bridge across both banks, which not only requires a large amount of cement and wood, but also has to spend a lot of manpower, material resources, money and food, and moreover, this bridge is not said to be built if you want to build, but also to examine and measure something, It won't be possible to get it out in a few years, in short, you have to throw money at death, the amount must be astronomical, the inventory of the Ming Kingdom is tight, and Zhu Jian can only suck the blood of the empire.

With the arrival of the three new divisions one after another, Li Xin had sufficient troops, and a large number of Franc cannons and massive ammunition, countless grain and grass and other military supplies were delivered.

The expeditionary force only bombarded indiscriminately with artillery, and the shells fired did not cost money, and the Dongcheng District of Yiju City was blown into ruins, killing many people in the city, as well as many golden soldiers.

In order to alleviate the huge pressure in the city, Abatai had to try to order the two cavalry units roaming outside the city to attack, but under the dense platoon of guns of the expeditionary force, the two detachments threw down more than 1,000 corpses and wounded soldiers in total, and retreated in disarray.

The expeditionary force happily cleaned up the battlefield, the wounded horses were difficult to heal, and they could only be slaughtered ruthlessly, plus the horse corpses that were killed and blown up, the number was thousands, and a sumptuous horse meat feast could be made.

"What the hell does Li Xin want to do?"

Huang Taiji successively received reports from Qierharang and Abatai, he can still understand the reason why Cao Bianjiao did not move, after all, it rained, the gunpowder was damp, and the army should be waiting for logistics supply, but unfortunately the Liaodong Naval Division came too fast, so that Qierharang lost the opportunity to capture the Iron Mountain Fortress, he could only tell Qierharang not to take the initiative to provoke Cao Bianjiao, give full play to the mobility advantage of the cavalry, mainly to contain, the loss was too great, which made him very painful, but what was the reason why Li Xin did not move?

For the Ming army, Yizhou is indeed a strategic location, but it is not necessary to capture it, only need to leave 1 to 20,000 troops to defend it, with the Liaodong Naval Division as the backing, to ensure the normal supply of materials, when necessary, the Liaodong Naval Division can also use large-caliber naval guns to provide artillery cover.

Nowadays, Li Xin is in charge of an army of more than 100,000 people, it can be said that there are many generals, and there are so many muskets and artillery that people are jealous and jealous.

Is it because Li Xin is too young and inexperienced? He didn't believe that Li Xin was a stupid commander, Li Xin and Lu Hongniang tossed all kinds of things in the Horqin grassland, and tossed Yue Tuo and the tribes who suppressed the prairie miserably, and once had several hard anal with the tribal alliance, but he failed to pay for the defeat, Yue Tuo is a handsome talent he values very much, how can the person who can make Yue Tuo helpless be a stupid?

But if you want to say that Li Xin is brainless, he has to capture Yizhou City and solve his worries, but he doesn't send troops to attack the city, so he blindly bombards the city with cannons, what kind of name is this? He couldn't guess the reason inside, and felt that his head had swelled several times.
