What makes Kong Youde even more horrified is that according to careful observation, the bird guns in the hands of these Fujian soldiers can be lit on fire without a match rope. This is even more incredible. How can the bird guns be lit on fire without a match rope? This is simply a fantasy.

Tan! Could it be that these Fujian Soldiers and Horses Association are capable of sorcery?

In short, the more Kong Youde thought about it, the more scared he became, and the less he dared to underestimate the Fujian soldiers led by Yu Xiaotian. He finally understood why Li Fujie was killed by Yu Xiaotian in the first place, let alone the stragglers led by Li Fujie.

, even if they were all replaced by elite rebels, they might not be able to defend Pingdu City.

Therefore, he no longer dared to underestimate the enemy. That night, he summoned his rebel generals to discuss how to deal with this group of Fujian soldiers. However, after discussing for most of the night, they could not find a suitable countermeasure.

In the end, they could only decide to face them seriously and rely on their superior strength to overwhelm them. Only by breaking through their military formation, and then using cavalry to rush into the formation and defeat them, could they be able to defeat this Fujian group.

Soldiers and horses.

They do have an advantage in terms of military strength at the moment. They have gathered nearly 40,000 rebels near Laizhou City alone. Among these rebels, there are about 10,000 soldiers and horses with strong combat effectiveness. Most of them are

They are all former members of the Dongjiang Army, some are refugees who escaped from Liaodong, some are local thieves who have taken refuge with them, and there are even some captured Guan Ning troops.

The rest of the soldiers and horses were captured officers and soldiers who were forced to follow them in order to survive. Their combat effectiveness was relatively weak, but they did not feel bad if they died.

Therefore, Kong Youde finally made the decision to use the stragglers to force them to attack Yu Xiaotian's Fujian army formation with strong suppression, consuming the enemy's ammunition, and finally dispatching elite troops to defeat them in one battle.

But they also know very well that dealing with this group of Fujian officers and soldiers this time may not be as easy as the previous battles. Their casualties this time may be quite serious. If they are not careful, Keneng will also force those who follow them to do things.

The soldiers and generals defected before the battle, but apart from this method, they had no other better way, so they had to do this.

As for the officers and soldiers in Laizhou City, as well as Yang Yufan and other officers and generals, they were not in Kong Youde's eyes at all. The number of officers and soldiers in Laizhou City was originally very limited, with only more than 3,000 people. Although Yang Yufan was more capable of fighting, he was

Their defeated generals, who had been defeated by them, fled into Laizhou City with hundreds of defeated soldiers. For more than two months, they could only defend the city and were unable to leave the city to fight back.

Therefore, they did not need to worry that the officers and soldiers in Laizhou City would suddenly rush out of the city from behind and cooperate with the Fujian officers and soldiers inside and outside, leaving them vulnerable to enemies from both sides.

After making the decision, Kong Youde ordered the camp to be withdrawn several miles away from Laizhou City the next day, and the camp was set up directly near the official road leading to Pingdu, blocking the way for Fujian officers and soldiers to go to Laizhou City.

along the way, and opened some distance from Laizhou City.

As a result, Fujian officers and soldiers could not easily rush into Laizhou City, and the defenders of Laizhou City did not dare to easily leave the city to attack the rebels. Otherwise, if they came out, they might not be able to return.

, the rebels can gather their forces and go all out to deal with the Fujian army led by Yu Xiaotian.

When Kong Youde led the rebels to move the camp, the Yu Jiajun on Yu Xiaotian's side also chose a more suitable place to camp and moved the camp. The camps of the two sides were only about seven or eight miles apart. They used large-caliber long cannons, which were almost

They could all reach the distance of the enemy camp with one shot, and the two sides began to enter a confrontation.

In the past few days, neither side sent its main force to fight, but only sent small groups of troops to test the strength of the other side. In terms of military strength, the Yu family army was completely at a disadvantage. The rebels had more than 30,000 troops.

There are nearly 40,000 people, but the Yu Jiajun only has less than 7,000 people. The remaining troops were stationed at military stations along the way to protect their food routes.

However, the rebels did not have such worries. During this period, they robbed a large amount of food and supplies. The army had relatively sufficient food reserves. In addition, a large amount of food was stored in Dengzhou City. If they were short of food, they would go to the surrounding areas to collect food.

Wenti doesn't think much about material supplies at all.

The reason why Yu Xiaotian did not immediately start a full-scale fight with the rebels was not because he did not have enough troops and did not dare to fight the enemy, but because it would be a bit unfair to let him do it all by himself. Zhu Dadian was in Qingzhou

He was sitting in town and mobilized 30,000 to 40,000 officers and soldiers. There was no sign of him at the moment. His family came over and defeated the rebels. It was not such a thing. Then they would be too dazzling, lest Chongzhen would be happy.

He was now transferred to Liaodong to deal with Jiannu, so Yu Xiaotian did not take credit for this battle, but waited for reinforcements to arrive.

He has already seen that Kong Youde is probably going to fight a war of attrition with him this time, using the weak peripheral brigades among the rebels to consume his main force. Even if it cannot consume his main force, it will at least waste a lot of his

ammunition.

Although he brought a lot of ammunition and supplies with him when he came here on this trip, he also consumed a lot of ammunition after the battle in the past few days. In such a large-scale battle next, more ammunition will definitely be consumed, so in

Before the decisive battle, he needed to replenish more ammunition.

In addition, the rebels wanted to consume him. Why didn't he want to consume the rebels? He couldn't let the officers and soldiers stand on dry land and watch the fun! So after arriving in Laizhou, Yu Xiaotian did not rush to fight the decisive battle with the rebels, but sent

A letter was sent to Zhu Dadian, who was in Qingzhou, stating that he had arrived outside Laizhou City and had engaged the rebels, and was in urgent need of reinforcements.

In addition, while reporting victory, he once again exaggerated, greatly exaggerating his losses dozens of times, saying that although he killed nearly a thousand rebels and captured hundreds of rebels in one battle, the Fujian army also suffered heavy losses.

Hundreds of soldiers were lost and nearly a thousand were injured. They were unable to defeat the main force of the rebels surrounding Laizhou City on their own. They asked Zhu Dadian to send reinforcements as soon as possible.

Soon Zhu Dadian received another victory report from Yu Xiaotian. Looking at this victory document, Zhu Dadian grinned almost to his ears. He smiled so hard that he couldn't see his eyes. He slapped the table with his palms repeatedly, without any grace.

He cheered loudly and even called Yu Xiaotian, he was a famous general.

Although Yu Xiaotian was reporting victory, he reported that although they defeated the rebels, they also suffered heavy losses. But in a war, there is no such thing as only killing the enemy and not killing anyone yourself. As long as the enemy is defeated, then some of them will die.

It is inevitable, and this does not affect Yu Xiaotian's image in Zhu Dadian's mind at all.

Even the eunuch Gao Qiqian, who was sent by the emperor to supervise the army, was very happy after hearing the news. He felt that Yu Xiaotian was indeed a pillar of the country and a useful talent.

With so many officers and soldiers on the road, none of them has won a big victory against the rebels in more than half a year. However, the Fujian soldiers, led by Yu Xiaotian, won consecutive victories when they arrived in Laizhou and fought against the rebels.

What made Gao Qiqian and Zhu Dadian most happy was that this time they had just urged Yu Xiaotian to march towards Laizhou. Within a few days, Yu Xiaotian led his troops to the outside of Laizhou City and fought another victory. According to the victory document

As he said, this time they fought against the elite cavalry of the rebels and defeated them. If this was not Yu Xiaotian's nonsense, then this news would probably be better than when they conquered Pingduzhou a few days ago.

After all, the rebels guarding Pingdu Prefecture were ordinary rebels, not the main elite of the rebels. However, this time the Fujian soldiers led by Yu Xiaotian faced the most elite cavalry of the rebels, and they actually fought like this

A great victory fully demonstrated that the Fujian soldiers led by Yu Xiaotian and his subordinates were really not simple. Now there was really hope for suppressing the rebellion.

As for what Yu Xiaotian said in his report, due to the lack of troops and the rebels being too strong, they could only be in a confrontation with the rebels for the time being and were unable to defeat the main force of the rebels. Zhu Dadian and Gao Qiqian both

There is no doubt. After all, Yu Xiaotian only brought 8,000 troops from Fujian this time. After excluding the casualties in these fierce battles and the officers and soldiers left behind along the way, there were only 5,000 troops who could reach Laizhou.

Even if it is bucuo.

This time there was another fierce battle with the elite cavalry of the rebels. It is said that hundreds of officers and soldiers were killed and nearly a thousand were injured. Therefore, Yu Xiaotian did not have many soldiers left on hand.

It is said that the rebels have gathered nearly 40,000 to 50,000 rebels in the Laizhou City area, including more than 10,000 elites. If they ordered Yu Xiaotian to lead only 3,000 to 4,000 officers and soldiers to fight against a rebel force that was ten times their number,

It is indeed unreasonable for the army to fight. If it were anyone else, I am afraid that no one would be able to do it. It would simply force people to die.

What's more, Zhu Dadian is betting all his hopes on Yu Xiaotian. How can he let Yu Xiaotian do such a death-defying thing? If he also kills Yu Xiaotian's group of Fujian warriors,

If so, who can we expect to be the main force to defeat the rebels in the future?

Therefore, Zhu Dadian joined forces with Gao Qiqian and immediately issued a death order to the remaining officers and soldiers who had been hesitant to move forward. They were ordered to arrive outside Laizhou City within ten days and join forces with Fujian troops to launch an attack on the rebels.

, Defeat the rebels, otherwise it will be disobedience and disrespect, and you must engage in military law!

In this way, after learning that the Fujian soldiers had arrived outside Laizhou City alone, fought against the rebels, and won a great victory, the leaders of these groups of officers and soldiers felt that they could not delay it any longer.

Now that the Fujian soldiers have repeatedly performed extraordinary feats, Zhu Dadian will

These people have been stalling for a long time and are already impatient. What's more, the emperor has sent his trusted eunuch Gao Qi to supervise the army this time. If they continue to refuse to lead their troops to Laizhou City to rescue the siege, then I am afraid that the next step will be for them.

He was dismissed from office and interrogated.
