In fact, the raft dispersed on its own without Shan Yu and Hao Lianxiong giving orders.
But in the past, many rafts were tied together with ropes for stability. In addition, the Dongman people were not very good at controlling the rafts, so the speed of spreading was relatively slow.
After the speedboat sank nearly a fifth of the rafts, the raft group finally dispersed.
Then Hao Lianxiong immediately ordered people to wave flags and order the rafts to surround the speedboat, preparing to use their numerical advantage to surround the speedboat just like they did with Zhenyuan No. 1.
The direction of rotation of the catapults on the speedboat is extremely inconvenient, and there are only two catapults installed on a speedboat. Once surrounded, it is indeed very dangerous.
But since Jin Feng dared to send a speedboat over, how could he not have thought of this?
Finding that the rafts had dispersed and were being surrounded from several directions, the speedboat immediately started and headed north.
The raft could only paddle when traveling north, and the speedboat was much more flexible than the Zhenyuan No. 1, so it easily threw the raft away.
"Humph, they can run fast!"
Hao Lianxiong spat in the direction the speedboat left.
However, the next second, Shan Yu whipped him on the face.
"Hurry up and send people to the north to guard. If something like this happens again, I will chop off your head!"
"Yes!" Hao Lianxiong nodded repeatedly and turned around to arrange the raft to go to the north for warning.
The group of rafts that had dispersed before noticed that the speedboat had left and began to gather again outside the Yuguan City Pier.
There is no way, the wind has been a bit strong recently, it is too cold for a single raft to float on the sea, but leaning together can block the wind.
But they had just gathered and the raft heading north had only rowed a few hundred meters when they saw the speedboat making a circle from the east and then back again.
With just one round of attacks, several rafts heading north to guard were overturned. Then the speedboat continued without slowing down and headed straight for the regrouped raft group.
"Quick, spread out!"
Hao Lianxiong shouted anxiously.
However, the speed of the speedboat was too fast. Before the raft could disperse, the speedboat launched another attack.
After paying nearly a fifth of the price, the raft group finally dispersed.
This time, there was no need for Shan Yu and Hao Lianxiong to give orders. The Eastern Barbarian soldiers on the raft took the initiative to surround the speedboat.
But how could a hand-rowed paddle outrun a steam engine?
The speedboat changed direction and ran north again.
But this time it didn't go too far, but cruised around the periphery and attacked the rafts on the edge.
A raft cannot outrun a speedboat, and its attack range is not as good as the catapult on a speedboat, so it will only take a beating.
Although this attack is not as fast as before, if it continues, the speedboat will destroy the raft one by one within a day at most.
Chanyu and Hao Lianxiong were so angry that they gritted their teeth, but there was nothing they could do.
After much thought, Shanyu could only order the rafts to disperse and escape for their own lives.
The Eastern Barbarian soldiers on the raft were already frightened by the beating. After receiving the order, they rushed to hang up the sails and fled southward in the wind.
There were only six speedboats, so it was impossible to catch up with all the rafts.
Soon, the sea outside Yuguan City Pier became empty, with only six speedboats left.
However, at this moment, Dongman Shanyu saw four speedboats rushing towards the dock quickly.
The gate outside the pier also slowly opened, and the speedboat was let in.
Shanyu Dongman stared at the speedboat for a while, then suddenly frowned and turned to the captain of the guard: "Call the two people who came back from the south of the city yesterday!"
In order to maintain contact with the Jin-Barbarian coalition in the south of the city, Shan Yu had previously sent people to the south of the city by boat. When Jin Feng attacked the Jin-Barbarian coalition, two Eastern Barbarians happened to go to the south of the city to convey a message. Bayi Chinese website
When the female workers started to attack, the two men had already reached the beach. They found that the Jin-Barbarian coalition forces could not stop the female workers, so they hurried to the boat.
Neither Zhenyuan No. 2 nor the speedboat were there at that time, and the female worker ignored them.
After the two came back, Shan Yu specifically asked them about the battle situation. Unfortunately, the two had already fled to the boat and were too far away from the main battlefield to see clearly. Shan Yu found that he couldn't ask anything, so he gave up.
Now seeing the speedboat entering the dock, Shanyu suddenly realized that he might have overlooked something important.
The two messengers were quickly summoned, and before they knelt down and kowtowed, Shanyu asked, "Did you see the reinforcements from Yuguan City in the south yesterday?"
"No," they both shook their heads: "We only saw a group of female soldiers."
"Then what do the female soldiers you see look like?"
"What kind?" The two thought for a while, and one of them said: "They are similar to the female soldiers who guarded the city before. They are all wearing black clothes, some are wearing armor, and some are not."
The female workers of Tiegunshan were not included in the combat order formulated by Jin Feng before, so no combat uniforms were prepared for them, so they wore the uniforms of the female soldiers of the Zhenyuan Army for this expedition.
Then decide whether to wear armor according to their respective battle sequences.
"If you think about it again, are they really exactly the same?" Chanyu asked again.
Seeing that Shan Yu was so serious, the two recalled it carefully.
After a while, another person said: "I remember that many female soldiers were carrying baggage on their backs. By the way, I also saw two female soldiers carrying pots on their backs!"
"The female soldiers carrying the baggage and the pot? Do you see clearly?" Shan Yu's tone became solemn.
"I see clearly," the Dongman soldier who answered nodded and said, "I was still thinking at the time, there really are no men in Dakang, so let the women who cook go to the battlefield..."
As a result, before he could finish his words, Shan Yu kicked him to the ground.
Both of them looked confused, wondering why Shanyu lost his temper.
But they didn't dare to ask, and quickly crawled to the ground, not daring to take a breath.
Shan Yu pointed at the two of them and asked, "Why didn't you say anything yesterday?"
In fact, Shanyu felt that something was not right since yesterday, but he never figured it out.
At this time, he figured out that the reinforcements led by Jin Feng rushed to the rescue quickly and did not carry extra supplies.
After defeating the Jin-Barbarian coalition forces in the south of the city, there should not be much supplies left for the reinforcements, so they did not steal the corpses at night.
Because they are also afraid of irritating themselves and continue to attack!
The speedboats that just entered the dock are probably going to replenish supplies for the reinforcements!
Thinking of this, the Eastern Barbarian Chanyu wanted to slap himself twice!
If he hadn't ordered a retreat yesterday, he might have killed the reinforcements led by Jin Feng!
But it’s not too late!
Four speedboats can deliver whatever they want. How much supplies can they pull?
As long as we continue to block the sea, the ammunition in Yuguan City will soon be exhausted!
Thinking of this, Dongman Shanyu turned to look at Hao Lianxiong: "Hurry up and send the order to get all the rafts back. Even if they all die in the sea, no more big and healthy ships can be allowed to enter the dock, otherwise I will kill you!" "
After saying that, without waiting for Hao Lianxiong's reply, he turned his horse's head and headed straight for the camp.
Hao Lianxiong looked at Shan Yu's back and wanted to cry but had no tears.
The battle just now has proved that the raft is no match for the speedboat, and returning will mean death.
However, he did not dare to disobey Shan Yu's order, so he could only send someone to wave the flag and order the raft to return.
