Chapter 126 Don't fight behind closed doors
So Wu Anbang, the general of Shandong, Wang Hong, the deputy general of Sichuan, and Gao Guozhu, the general of Zhejiang, had to order all kinds of people and march towards Laizhou City.
After several trials, Kong Youde felt that the matter could not be dragged on any longer. At present, there is only such a road of Fujian soldiers, which is difficult for him to deal with. If he continues, I'm afraid that other officers and soldiers from the Ming Dynasty will also come over. At that time, he may lose his advantage in strength, plus Fujian's officials. Soldier, I'm afraid he won't be able to do it this time.
So a few days later, Kong Youde finally made up his mind to lead the main force to fight, led the troops directly outside the Fujian officer army camp, and began to send people to the Fujian camp to invite Yu Xiaotian to lead the army out of the camp to fight to the death.
However, when Yu Xiaotian was in the camp, he did not pay attention to Kong Youde's request for the decisive battle. He didn't care about the rebels outside the camp at all, so he put the rebels outside the camp.
Kong Youde led his troops to scold outside the Fujian camp for a long time, but he did not see Yu Xiaotian lead the army to fight, so he sent some soldiers and began to directly attack the Fujian camp.
However, the Fujian battalion was very stable, built a strong fortifications, and arranged a sufficient firepower network. After the rebels launched the attack, the battalion immediately fired fire. Even if the rebel attack was repulsed, the wounded and corpses were lost outside the battalion.
Kong Youde really saw the power of Fujian soldiers and horses' firearms, so he had to make a truce that day. The next day, he sent people to drag three Hongyi cannons, set 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 artillery to fight back. As a result, the rebels defrayed again. One of the three Hongyi cannons, one of which was loaded with too much gunpowder, blew up dozens of rebels surrounded by them.
The other was directly destroyed by the cannon of Fujian officers and soldiers. The same gunner also suffered heavy losses, leaving only one Hongyi cannon. Fortunately, it was not destroyed by the cannon of Fujian officers and soldiers, so he had to drag the cannon far behind and fight with Fujian officers and soldiers far away.
In this battle, the fence of the Fujian battalion was damaged in many places, and the rebels launched another attack, but they were still beaten by the Yu family's soldiers and rifles with cannons and rifles and withdrew from the battle.
Kong Youde went to the Fujian camp for several days in a row to call the array, but Yu Xiaotian insisted on the camp and couldn't fight. If he attacked, he would beat him in the face. The rebels who fought could never attack their camp and could only look at the Fujian camp.
Kong Youde is very depressed. He really wants to take advantage of this time to have a decisive battle with Yu Xiaotian, use his superior forces to defeat the damn Fujian soldiers in one fell swoop, capture a batch of sharp birds in their hands, and their sharp cannons. In this way, with these sharp weapons, he will attack Laizhou next. The city has greater confidence.
However, after Yu Xiaotian led the troops to come, he suddenly withdrew into the camp and resolutely refused to fight him to the death in the wild. Like a turtle, he shrank together to make Kong Youde have a good tooth, but he had no way to say it.
Kong Youde is so depressed! Since he started a rebellion, he has not been so depressed. This battle is really aggrieved. He wants to fight, but if others don't fight, there is nothing he can do. Moreover, this Fujian officer and army seem to be quite good at building a camp. This camp is as stable as Mount Tai, which makes him anxious, but there is no way to send troops to attack. Like death, many people can only be cut to the ground like mowing grass.
After several attacks, he killed thousands of men, but he didn't even touch the edge of the camp. This battle really can't be fought.
Seeing that Yu's army refused to go out of the camp and decisive battle, Kong Youde led the army to attack for several days, but he did not get any advantage. He also had cannons, and they were no worse than him at all. Although the number was not as many as him, he fought fiercely and accurately, and he could be far away. In addition to those Hongyi cannons, he could fight with his opponents. Apart from the bomb, the rest of the cannons can't reach the Fujian camp at all.
If he puts the cannon too forward, it will be like death. He often can't shoot two or three cannons, and he will be directly destroyed by the cannons of Fujian officers and soldiers.
He wanted to blow up the Fujian battalion with cannons, but he didn't know where he got so many wicker baskets, full of sand and piled them in front of the gun position, so that his cannon bombarded them, but he could not collapse the bunker. The wicker baskets of Gaza soil well absorbed the kinetic energy carried by the cannonballs, only If it hadn't hit directly in the middle of the gun position, his Hongyi cannon would not have directly destroyed the cannon of Fujian officers and soldiers.
However, the Hongyi cannon on his side lost as many as four cannons in a few days. Except for one that was blown up by himself, the other three were directly destroyed by the other party. If it goes on like this, even his Hongyi cannon will be killed by others for a few days, and this battle is really unbearable.
So Kong Youde had no choice but to stop and decide to rest for two days before planning a decisive battle with Yu Xiaotian.
However, as soon as he stopped fighting, the Fujian soldiers moved, and the cavalry and infantry left the camp one by one, either sneaking on the rebels or swaggering through the market.
When Kong Youde mobilized soldiers and horses to go out of the camp to fight with him, these Fujian generals quickly withdrew their battalion. No matter how much they scolded, they didn't hear it and ignored their faults.
In this way, Kong Youde was even more dizzy and angry. He immediately ordered to mobilization the army and start attacking the Fujian camp.
Nearly 10,000 rebels surrounded the Fujian camp and began to push the cart and carry a big shield, like ants, and attacked the Fujian camp.
However, the military generals in Fujian's battalion were also rude and immediately fired all kinds of cannons, specializing in picking those roving cars. At close range, it can be said that they were shot at one by one. The roving cars immediately disappeared and disintegrated, including those rebel generals who pushed the roving the trolley and the rebels hiding behind them. , followed by a non-death injury that was also beaten by fragments.
As for those rebel infantry, they were in front of the * hands of the family army, like active targets. They were named one by one, and they didn't even use them to shoot in unison. They just shot one by one, as if they were shooting targets in a competition, knocking the rebels out of the camp one by one.
* took turns to fight, and someone next to them counted them, laughing while fighting. There were more people who shot than those who raised the bar. This kind of defensive battle was completely regarded as a live-fire shooting exercise. In the distance, they were shot with wolf tooth rifles, and closer, they were shot with Japanese smoothbore guns. Only the rebels killed corpses everywhere, which was unspeakable.
After several fierce attacks, they were easily repelled by the Yu family army. Kong Youde had to send his cronies to supervise the war, which forced many rebels and could only bravely arch forward.
When the fierce battle was not until the afternoon, the rebels finally touched the promised edge of Fujian, began to fill in the trenches, cleared the Rejected Horse Deer Fort, bamboo sticks and other things outside the camp, and tried to break into the camp.
But as a result, they finally broke through the line of defense. When they arrived at the barracks, they first split their faces and hit them all over the ground. Then the long gunner stabbed through the barracks, which stabbed a large group of rebel soldiers who had finally squeezed to the barracks like a shuttle.
But under Kong Youde's death order, these rebels still rolled up like a tide and squeezed out of the campzha desperately. They drowned the bullets that kept hitting in the camp. They relied on filling people's lives and filled them next to the camp fence, but they finally pushed down a few camp fences and looked at the possibility that they might rush into Fu. When the camp was built, black iron bullets were suddenly thrown from the camp.
These iron bullets are about the size of a small melon, weighing about one catty, and there are still pimples on the shell. It seems that when casting, there are many vertical and horizontal lines pre-carved.
These iron melons instantly fell into the dense rebel crowd, and then made a series of violent explosions in the rebel crowd, which suddenly blew up the rebels' broken limbs and their arms, their internal organs flew around, and a large number of rebels fell into a pool of blood.
In fact, the large size* of loading * for military use is not very powerful. The killing diameter is very small, with a distance of only two or three meters, that is, four or five meters at most. There are not many fragments generated by the explosion. Even if the pre-made fragments are pre-carved, the explosion can only produce more than a dozen shrapnel.
In fact, this kind of iron melon* is far less powerful than that of powerful explosives in later generations, and it is bulky. Its arm strength is slightly poor, so it is thrown not far away. Basically, it cannot be used for offensive combat, but it is still more suitable for defensive warfare. Today, Kong Youde is mad and forced a large number of rebels to attack Fujian camp crazily, and a large number of rebels Relying on human life, the army drowned the dense bullet screen shooting of the family army and rushed outside the barracks.
This just plays the greatest role of these iron melon thunder. Even if it is not exploded and thrown out, it can casually smash a rebel's head. The number of rebels can be seen and the number of people is dense.
Once this kind of iron melon thunder explodes, it will immediately produce a very good killing effect. When it explodes, there is a shock wave to kill the enemy. In addition, fragments fly across, often an iron melon thunder explodes, which can blow up several rebels and clear a piece of open space.
This time, the rebels were unlucky and were blown into flesh and blood. In an instant, they died and injured a large area. In several broken positions, the rebels tried to flock in, but they were immediately blocked by Fujian officers and soldiers. All the rifles were bayoned, and the long gunners also came forward to stab. The knife players pushed forward like a wall and leaned against blood to fight against these The gap is blocked again.
After a day of fierce battle, more than 2,000 or 3,000 rebels were killed and injured. Even if Kong Youde vomited blood angrily, he had no choice but to order the army to withdraw.
Yu's army also paid some casualties in this battle. About 200 soldiers will be killed and injured in the battle. It is also the most costly in recent days. Even Yu Xiaotian finally felt a little pressure and generated a little nervousness.
