When Zhenyuan No. 1 changed direction, Shanyu Dongman guessed that Jin Peng would use the catapult on Zhenyuan No. 1.
But he didn't pay too much attention.
Driven by the supervisors, the beach was full of people, and there were only seven catapults on the right deck of Zhenyuan No. 1. Even if they were launched together, there was nothing he could do.
What's more, Zhenyuan No. 1 only used three aircraft?
Until he discovered that the catapult was throwing explosives, the Eastern Barbarian Chanyu was still not too surprised.
Liu Tie had previously used explosive charges to deal with siege engines, and the Eastern Barbarian Shanyu knew the power.
But when the explosion happened, Dongman Shanyu realized that he was wrong!
The power of these three explosive packs is much greater than the three that Liu Tie used to explode the catapult!
Each one blasted a large void in the crowd, and even the beach was blasted with a huge crater half a foot deep!
In fact, even so, the number of enemies who actually died in the explosion was not too many compared to the mountains and seas of enemy troops.
But the deterrent effect is great.
Many Dongman herdsmen still use stone knives. Who would not be afraid of such a scene?
Not to mention the herdsmen, even the supervisors who were driving behind were pale and trembling.
Chanyu knew that morale had been lost at this time, and any further fighting would only increase casualties, so he could only order gold to withdraw his troops.
The wave of enemies retreated like a wave.
The Shanxi-Barbarian coalition forces outside the southern city wall were far inferior to the Eastern Barbarians and could no longer hold them back.
Hearing the sound of troops calling for gold on the northern city wall, Feng Shicai also quickly ordered a halt to the siege.
Both the bodyguards and the female soldiers were mentally prepared for a fight to the death, and reinforcements arrived in time.
This made them feel as if they had narrowly escaped death, and they all raised their arms and cheered.
Liu Tie and Mr. Tian also breathed a long sigh of relief and led the people to the dock.
At this time, the sailors had begun to unload supplies from the ship, and Jin Peng also disembarked with the deputy captain.
"Dapeng, you are finally here!"
Liu Tie patted Jin Peng's shoulder heavily: "If we come one day later, we probably won't be able to see each other again!"
"Brother Tiezi, I'm sorry, we're late!"
Jin Peng looked at the corpse of the bodyguard placed in the empty space on the city wall and spoke in a low voice.
"Just come!"
Liu Tie patted Jin Peng's shoulder again: "Sir, do you know about Haidongqing?"
When he saw Zhenyuan No. 1 just now, Liu Tie was really worried that Jin Peng didn't know about Hai Dongqing's existence, so he sent an airship to assist in the battle.
Fortunately, Jin Peng did not do this, so Mr. Tian guessed that Jin Peng might have known about it.
Sure enough, Jin Peng nodded and said: "The King of Jin used Haidongqing to attack the flying team in Weizhou City. Now our airships don't dare to go to the sky."
"It's the damn King Jin again!" Liu Tie punched the city wall: "How is Jinchuan?"
As one of the top executives of Xihewan, Liu Tie is very aware of the significance of the airship to the Zhenyuan Escort Bureau, and is also very worried about the safety of the village.
"Don't worry, our Jinchuan is now different from what it used to be. Even if we don't have an airship, bad guys won't dare to cause trouble."
Jin Peng said: "But before I left, I heard that the Dangxiang people gathered a large number of troops outside Xizhou and detained our brothers in Dangxiang and the guys from the chamber of commerce. I don't know what's going on now."
"Mr. Tian, you really got it right!"
When Liu Tie heard this, he couldn't help turning his head to look at Mr. Tian.
When he first discovered Hai Dongqing, Mr. Tian was worried about the cooperation between Dongman and Dangxiang, and also speculated that once the two parties cooperated, they would definitely attack Jin Feng.
What Mr. Tian was most worried about happened.
"What are Mr. Jin going to do?" Mr. Tian asked anxiously.
"I don't know either," Jin Peng shook his head, then remembered something and took out an envelope from his arms: "By the way, Brother Tiezi, Xiaoyu asked me to send you a letter when I came here, maybe I will tell you about this."
He is now regarded as a core member of Jin Feng's command, but he spends most of his time on the ship, so Jin Peng is not as well-informed as in the village, and he does not know how Jin Feng will arrange it.
As one of the intelligence leaders of Xihewan, Xiaoyu must know more inside information than Jin Peng.
Liu Tie heard this and quickly opened the envelope.
But what disappointed him was that Xiaoyu did not say in the letter how Jin Feng planned to deal with Dangxiang, but only told Liu Tie to be careful about the Eastern Barbarians and pay attention to safety.
Seeing Mr. Tian staring at him, he handed over the letter.
After Mr. Tian read it, he stroked his beard and laughed.
Seeing this, Liu Tie wondered if he had missed something, so he took the letter back from Mr. Tian's hand and read it again.
But the content is still the same as what I just saw, and I didn’t miss it.
Seeing Liu Tie looking at him in confusion, Mr. Tian smiled and explained: "Xiaoyu wrote these things in the letter, which shows that she was relaxed when she wrote the letter, and it also shows that she is not particularly worried about the future situation in Jinchuan.
This shows that Mr. Jin most likely already has a plan, and Xiaoyu believes that Mr. Jin’s plan is very feasible, so that’s why it’s so easy.”
"Sir, you are amazing. You can tell so many things through a letter."
Liu Tie gave Mr. Tian a thumbs up.
Mr. Tian waved his hand and looked at Jin Peng: "Dapeng, does the village have enough manpower now?"
"Mr. Tian, it's not like you don't know when did we have enough manpower?"
Jin Peng shook his head and smiled bitterly: "In the past, the brothers who guarded the pier were at most two companies, and a battalion was stationed in Shuanghump. When I left, my husband transferred most of the brothers from the pier, leaving only three platoons to guard.
At the wharf, I heard that Double Hump was even more ruthless. Only two platoons were left in one battalion, and the rest were taken away. Now the salt factory has organized its own workers to patrol."
Liu Tie and Mr. Tian sighed at the same time when they heard this.
The bodyguards and female soldiers had already suffered heavy casualties, and they had just experienced brutal hand-to-hand combat.
Although the battle damage had not yet been calculated, Liu Tie knew that the casualties must be heavy.
They originally wanted to ask Jin Feng for some reinforcements, but after hearing what Jin Peng said, they really didn't know how to ask.
"Then how many people are on your ship?" Liu Tie asked.
"There are more than three hundred people in total, but most of them are sailors and crew members, and there is only one company of escorts." Jin Peng said helplessly: "I came to Yuguan City this time mainly to deliver ammunition to you."
Liu Tie and Mr. Tian's expression fell again.
For such a big ship, it has to be divided into day shift and night shift. The guard strength of a company is already very weak, and it is impossible to send more people to them.
"Mr. Tian, Dapeng sent ammunition, otherwise we wouldn't ask for reinforcements from Mr. Tian, right?" Liu Tie said.
"Ammunition will not go to the enemy by itself. If there is ammunition, someone must use it. We only have so few people left, how can we defend such a big city?"
Mr. Tian said with a wry smile: "Once Yuguan City is lost, the Eastern Barbarians will move south in large numbers. It will be a catastrophe for the people of the Central Plains, and everyone will be devastated by then!"
