Chapter 126: Behind closed doors

So Wu Anbang, the general soldier of Shandong, Wang Hong, the deputy chief soldier of Sichuan, and Gao Guozhu, the general soldier of Zhejiang, had to be ordered, and all the men and horses were gathered to march in the direction of Laizhou City.

After several temptations, Kong Youde felt that things could not be delayed any longer, and now there was only such a way of Fujian soldiers, he was no longer easy to deal with, if it dragged on any longer, the other officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, I am afraid that they would also rush over, and then he was afraid that he would lose the advantage in troops, plus the Fujian officers and soldiers, I am afraid that he would not be able to please this time.

So a few days later, Kong Youde finally made up his mind, led the main force to fight, led the troops to the outside of the Fujian official army camp, and sent people to the Fujian camp to invite Yu Xiaotian to lead the army out of the camp to fight to the death.

However, Yu Xiaotian was in the camp, but he didn't pay attention to Kong Youde's request for a decisive battle, and ignored the rebels' scolding outside the camp, so he left the rebels outside the camp.

Kong Youde led his troops to scold outside the Fujian camp for a long time, but he didn't see Yu Xiaotian leading the troops to fight, so he sent a part of the generals to start a direct attack on the Fujian camp.

However, the Fujian battalion was very stable, built strong fortifications, and arranged an abundant fire network, after the rebels launched an attack, the battalion immediately fired a salvo of artillery, and the rebels' attack was repulsed, leaving the wounded and corpses on the ground outside the camp.

Only then did Kong Youde really see the power of the firearms of the Fujian soldiers and horses, so he had to make a truce that day, and the next day he sent people to drag three Hongyi cannons, erected them outside the Fujian camp, and began to bombard the Fujian camp.

However, the artillery in the Fujian battalion was not weak at all, and immediately fired back fire, but after the artillery battle, the rebels were deflated again, and three Hongyi cannons, one of which was filled with too much gunpowder, fired a cannon to blow up the bore, blowing up dozens of rebels surrounded by it.

The other one was destroyed by the artillery of the Fujian official army, and the gunner also suffered heavy losses, leaving only one Hongyi cannon, which was fortunately not destroyed by the artillery of the Fujian officers and soldiers, so he had to drag the cannon to the back and retreat far away, and engaged in an artillery battle with the Fujian officers and soldiers from afar.

In this battle, the barracks of the Fujian camp were damaged in many places, and the rebels attacked again, but they were still beaten by the generals of the Yu family army with cannons and rifles, and withdrew from the battle.

Kong Youde went to the Fujian camp for several days in a row to call for battle, but Yu Xiaotian insisted that the camp would not come out, scolding and fighting, and if he attacked, he would be beaten in the face, and the rebels who fought could not enter their camp, so they could only look at the Fujian camp and cry out.

Kong Youde was very depressed, he really wanted to take advantage of this time to have a decisive battle with Yu Xiaotian, use his superior forces, defeat this damn Fujian soldier in one fell swoop, and capture a batch of sharp bird guns in their hands, as well as their sharp cannons, so that with these sharp weapons, the next attack on Laizhou City will have a greater certainty.

But after Yu Xiaotian came with his troops, he suddenly shrank into the camp, and resolutely refused to fight to the death with him in the wild, like a turtle, shrunk together, so that Kong Youdegan had a good mouthful of teeth, but he never knew how to speak.

Kong Youde is so depressed! He has not been so depressed since he started to rebel, this battle is really aggrieved, he wants to fight, but people don't fight, he has no way, and this Fujian official army, seems to be quite good at building a camp, this camp is as stable as Mount Tai, let him do it in a hurry, but he can't say anything, send troops to attack, just like sending to death, how many people go, can only be cut to the ground like people mowing grass.

After several attacks, he suffered thousands of casualties, but he didn't even touch the edge of the camp, and this battle was really unfought.

Seeing that the Yu family army refused to go out of the camp for a decisive battle, Kong Youde led the army to attack for several days, but he did not get any cheap, bombarded with cannons, and people also had cannons, and they were no worse than him, although the number was not as much as him, but he fought hard and accurately, and he could reach far, except for those Hongyi cannons that could be bombarded with opponents, the rest of the cannons could not reach the Fujian camp at all.

If he placed the cannon too far forward, it would be like sending him to death, and he would often not be able to shoot two or three cannons, and he would be directly destroyed by the cannons of the Fujian officers and soldiers.

He wanted to use the cannon to blast the Fujian camp away, but people didn't know where to get so many wicker baskets, filled with sand, piled in front of the gun emplacement, so that his cannon bombarded, but he has not been able to collapse this bunker, the wicker basket and the bunker of sand soil have well absorbed the kinetic energy carried by the cannonballs, as long as they are not directly smashed in the middle of the gun emplacement, his Hongyi cannon will not be able to directly destroy the cannons of Fujian officers and soldiers.

And the Hongyi cannon on his side, but in a few days, lost as many as four in succession, except for one that blew up by himself, the remaining three were directly destroyed by the other party, and if he continued to fight like this, it would not take many days for even his Hongyi cannon to be killed by others, and this battle would really be unfought.

Therefore, Kong Youde had no choice but to stop and decide to rest for two days before seeking a decisive battle with Yu Xiaotian.

But as soon as the fighting on his side stopped, the Fujian soldiers moved, and the cavalry and infantry came out of the camp one by one, either to sneak up on the rebels, or to go out of the camp to show off the market.

When Kong Youde mobilized troops and horses out of the camp to fight with them, these Fujian generals quickly retracted back to their camp, and no matter how much they scolded, the people didn't hear it, and ignored their stubble.

As a result, Kong Youde was even more dizzy and angry, and immediately ordered the mobilization of the army and began to storm the Fujian camp.

Nearly 10,000 rebels surrounded the Fujian camp and began to push the carts and carry the big shields, like ants, and stormed the Fujian camp.

However, the soldiers and generals of the Yu family in the Fujian camp were also unceremonious, and immediately fired a volley of artillery, picking on those rows, and at close range, it can be said that they were one cannon at a time, and the rows were immediately wiped out and scattered, including the rebel generals who pushed the rows, and the rebels who were hiding behind, followed by the fragments and were either killed or wounded.

As for the rebel infantry, in front of the musketeers of the home army, they were called one by one like moving targets, and they didn't even use a salvo very much, just one shot at a time, as if they were shooting targets in a competition, and knocked the rebels out of the camp one by one.

The musketeers took turns to fight, and some people next to them counted them, laughing while fighting, raising the pole to shoot more people than whom, completely treating this kind of defensive warfare as a live-fire exercise, with wolf's tooth rifles at a distance, and southern Japanese smoothbore guns at the closest, only killing the rebels with corpses all over the place, and the misery.

Several fierce attacks, but they were easily repelled by Yu's army, and Kong Youde had to send his cronies to supervise the battle, which forced many rebels to arch forward.

In the afternoon, when the fierce fighting was raging, the rebels finally found the edge that Fujian had promised, and began to fill in the trenches, remove the red deer and bamboo sticks outside the camp, and try to break into the camp.

But the result was that they finally broke through the defense line, and when they arrived at the barracks of the camp, they first struck three blows in the face, killing and wounding them all over the ground, and then the pikemen stabbed a large group of rebel generals who had finally squeezed into the barracks like shuttles.

But under Kong Youde's death order, these rebels still rolled in like a tide, desperately squeezed outside the camp fence, stunned to drown the continuous bullets in the camp, relying on filling in people's lives, stunned to fill next to the camp fence, but just when they finally knocked down a few camp fences, and saw that they might rush into the Fujian camp, they suddenly threw black iron bullets from the camp.

These iron bullets are about the size of a small melon, weighing about a catty, and there are still pimples on the shell, which seem to be pre-engraved with a lot of criss-cross lines when casting.

These iron melons instantly fell into the dense crowd of rebels, and then in the crowd of rebels, a series of violent explosions were heard, which immediately exploded the stumps and broken arms of the rebels, and the internal organs and intestines also flew everywhere, and a large number of rebels fell in a pool of blood.

In fact, the large grenade filled with black powder used by the Yujia military is not very powerful, the killing diameter is very small, only two or three meters at most, that is, four or five meters away, and the fragments produced by the explosion are not very many, even if the prefabricated fragments are pre-engraved, the explosion can only produce more than a dozen pieces of shrapnel.

In fact, this kind of iron melon grenade is far less powerful than the grenade filled with high explosives in later generations, and it is bulky and heavy, and the arm strength is slightly poor, so it is not far away, and it basically cannot be used for offensive operations, but it is still more suitable for defensive warfare.

This just gives full play to the maximum role of these iron melon mines, even if the iron melon mines do not explode and are thrown out, they can casually smash the head of a rebel, and the number of rebels can be seen to be so large and the number of personnel is so dense.

Once this kind of iron melon mine explodes, it will immediately produce a very good killing effect, when it explodes, there is a shock wave to kill the enemy, plus fragments fly sideways, often an iron melon mine explodes, can blow up several rebels, clear a clearing.

This time the rebels poured blood mold, was blown up to the flesh and blood, instantly killed and wounded a large area, several breach positions, the rebels tried to swarm in, but they were immediately blocked by Fujian officers and soldiers, all the rifles on the bayonet, the spearmen also stepped forward to stab, the knife players advanced like a wall, stunned by the blood, the gaps were re-blocked.

After a day of fierce fighting, the rebels suffered more than two or three thousand casualties, and even if Kong Youde vomited blood in anger, he had no choice but to order the troops to be withdrawn.

In this battle, Yu Jiajun also paid some casualties, about more than 200 soldiers were killed and wounded, which was the most heaviest price paid in these days, and even Yu Xiaotian finally felt a trace of pressure and felt a little nervous.
