Battle of Xicheng

The Battle of Xicheng was a military conflict between the Yihe Jurchens, their Ming allies, and the Later Jin. In the fall of 1619 Nurhaci invaded Xicheng, the home of the Yihe Jurchens. Nurhaci personally led the vanguard and took the east wall. After capturing the city the Yihe inhabitants were spared, but their Ming allies who had fought beside them were executed.
