After the rebels invaded the stronghold, before they had time to be happy, they discovered that there was a stronghold wall in front of them. They cursed in anger. Hu Dachui did not show any weakness and organized a scolding. For a while, he continued to greet each other's ancestors and female relatives with obscene words. . After entering the stronghold, Lin De's nose became crooked when he saw that his subordinates did not attack but acted like scolding shrews. While he angrily scolded his men who were scolding Zheng Huan, he ordered his men to continue the attack. Compared with the first wall, this second wall was less than three meters high, and was longer and thinner. Not only could artillery be placed on the wall, but it was even difficult for people to stand on it. According to common sense, the longer the wall, the more difficult it is to defend, and the thinner it is, the easier it is to break through. Linde originally thought that he could knock down the second wall in one go, but he never expected that he would get a bloody blow here.
Hu Dachui led the workers with spears and wooden sticks, while Jinghou was behind the second wall. The wall was too narrow for people to stand, so they stood close to the base of the wall, thus avoiding the rebels' bows and arrows. Lin De saw that the shooting range was limited and could not use the damage of the bow and crossbow, so he ordered a fierce attack on the village gate. However, the village gate was made of iron sheets and was very strong. Moreover, the village gate had been blocked by workers with heavy objects, so even if it was broken, it would be impossible to enter. . The wall of this village was relatively thin, still nearly one meter thick. The rebels had no tools at their disposal, and it was difficult to break through it in their eagerness, so they had to climb the wall honestly. However, climbing the wall was even more of a trap for the rebels. As soon as they stood on the top of the wall, they found that many spears and clubs were coming with the sound of wind, making it impossible to hide. Some rebels jumped off the ground brazenly with their quick movements and agility. Only to find more sticks waiting below. In just a short moment, more than half of the rebels who climbed the wall were killed or wounded, and the rest fled back crawling on the ground. Linde then organized several more attacks, trying to find weak points in the defense to break through, but was beaten back every time. It can be said that Linde's attempt to climb the wall was just naive. How did he know that there were densely packed workers behind the wall, as many as 400, so how could there be any emptiness? In fact, because the defense did not require too many people, Hu Dachui also sent a hundred workers to the mine behind the village to prevent criminals in the labor camp from taking the opportunity to cause chaos.
If it were a regular siege, the second wall of Liuliba would obviously not be enough to look at. In the face of siege weapons such as trebuchets and rams, this wall will be easily broken. Even if the rebels are lightly armed this time, if there is enough time, the rebels can still break through the wall by using rough wood to hit and dig. As long as the wall is breached, the hundreds of workers behind the wall are obviously no match for the rebels. It's just that Linde doesn't have much time. On the one hand, the reinforcements from the Thunderbolt Army are only two or three miles away from here, and on the other hand, the people sent by Hu Dachui to get the grenades will be back soon. Seeing that the strong attack was unsuccessful, Linde had no choice but to send people to find tools and prepare to break through the wall. There are many factories and workshops here, and tools are not difficult to find. Soon the rebels found a lot of hammers, iron drills and other tools, and started digging and smashing them separately under the cover of crossbows. In fact, there are finished cannons in the cannon foundry here, but the rebels don't know how to use them, and they don't have gunpowder and cannonballs.
Just when the violent demolition of the rebels was in full swing, round iron balls flew from behind the wall and landed in the improvised demolition team formed by the rebels in perfect parabolas. Unlike the grenades that fell on the first wall, these grenades that were thrown over exploded when they hit the ground. There was no time to dodge, and the rebel soldiers who were digging and knocking on the wall were blown to the ground in an instant. Then another grenade flew towards the crossbowmen standing in front. They were not knocked down because of the distance, but frightened these crossbowmen and sent them running around. Although they suffered heavy casualties, the rebels still stepped forward to smash the wall one after another, because they knew that as long as they waited for reinforcements from the Perak Army to arrive, it would be their end. These rebels are not stupid, nor do they rely solely on their bodies to fight firearms. They found a lot of half-finished wooden shields in the carpentry workshop as cover, but the effect was really limited, and they were still bombed to the ground. After repeating this several times, the rebel soldiers were completely desperate. They finally believed in the legend that "thunderbolts from heaven are invincible". Once the spirit of fighting is lost, no matter how strong the soldier is, he will eventually become a zombie. Even Linde looks ashen. He killed several of his men who refused to come forward, but the rest of the rebel soldiers still refused to go forward and kill them. In fact, the choice of these rebel soldiers was correct, because the men sent by Hu Dachui emptied the grenade warehouse. These new trigger grenades in the warehouse were produced for the Navy Camp, and there were a thousand of them. They had just been produced and had not yet been shipped to Huaguo Mountain. If the rebels insist on taking lives, they really don't have enough people. It's just that the people in the water camp will be anxious when they learn that the grenade was intercepted halfway.
Seeing that he could not attack the second wall, Lin De had to transfer his archers to the first wall, because reinforcements from the Perak Army had already formed half a mile away. Facing the densely packed rebel crossbowmen standing on the wall of the stronghold, Ouyang Xuan did not talk nonsense to them, but ordered to fire directly. He was already furious and hated this rebel army in his heart. He wanted to defeat the rebels as soon as possible and minimize the damage caused by the rebels to Liuliba. On the one hand, Liuliba is the birthplace of the Perak Army, and he has special feelings in his heart. On the other hand, although Liuliba is not as important as Wanjiaping and Hengyuan Fort, it is still an important industrial base. The future anti-Mongolian cause of the Perak Army.
The first salvo of artillery fire from the teaching company caused heavy casualties to the rebels on the wall. They jumped off the wall one after another and huddled in the corner shivering. Because he was afraid of damaging the factories and workshops in the village, Huang Dagen did not order the artillery to extend its fire. Instead, he ordered his men to quickly climb up and seize the village wall. When Lin De saw that the Pili Army had stopped shelling, he led dozens of people to try to recapture the wall. At this time, there were only about 20 soldiers from the teaching company who rushed to the wall. However, war cannot be won with more people, and the emergence of the Thunderbolt Army has rewritten the rules of combat in this world. These 20 soldiers from the teaching company only threw one round of grenades and fired two rounds of muskets, and they defeated the rebels who tried to retake the wall. Even Linde died under the close range bombardment of muskets. Linde would not close his eyes until he died. He had too many questions in his mind: Why can firearms be so lethal and even be able to penetrate his own armor? Why can artillery be so devastating? Why is Liuliba Minzhuang so powerful? Could it be that Ouyang Xuan is really a person sent by God?
As soon as Linde died, the rebels became headless flies. Some sneaked into factories and workshops, some wandered around inside the two village walls, and a few die-hard elements were still resisting. This completely angered Ouyang Xuan, who ordered his men to turn the cannons on the wall to bombard the rebels who refused to surrender, even if they destroyed factories and tools. There were only about a dozen of these die-hard elements. They could not withstand the full-scale attack of the teaching company. Most of them were killed or injured in a short time. The rest saw that the situation was over and killed themselves with swords. These people who committed suicide were the leading rebels. Knowing that they would never end well if captured, they simply followed Linde. Once the die-hard elements were dead, the remaining rebels lost their fighting spirit. Under the shouts of the Perak Army, they all threw down their weapons and surrendered.
