In fact, for Jin Feng's current territory, Yuguan City and Weizhou City are both "enclaves".
The so-called enclave refers to a place that is under the jurisdiction of Jin Feng but has no connection with Jin Feng's territory.
Even if Yuguan City is lost, the Eastern Barbarians will not be able to threaten Sichuan and Shu for the time being.
Liu Tie wanted to say, "The people in the Central Plains are in ruins. What does it have to do with us in Sichuan and Shu?".
But when the words reached his lips, he swallowed them again.
He was one of the first people to follow Jin Feng and knew Jin Feng's pattern very well.
In Jin Feng's mind, not only Sichuan and Shu, but also the whole of Dakang, could never bear to see the people of the Central Plains being ravaged by the iron hoofs of the Eastern Barbarians again.
Even now the Central Plains is not in the territory of New Dakang.
This is Jin Feng’s responsibility and also Jin Feng’s personality charm.
If Jin Feng only pursued personal enjoyment, he could retire after opening a textile factory.
But Jin Feng did not do this, but continued to struggle.
Since ancient times, Sichuan people have been the most sentimental about family and country.
Usually Sichuan people seem carefree and like to live a comfortable life and like to eat and drink. However, when the nation and country are in danger, Sichuan people will always come forward.
Jin Feng studied history in his previous life. During the Anti-Japanese War, the Sichuan Army was one of the most tenacious armed forces.
A total of more than three million Sichuan troops came out of Sichuan before and after, with total casualties exceeding 640,000!
When the Sichuan Army first came out of Sichuan, its reputation was not very good and it was called a miscellaneous army.
But it was such a "miscellaneous army" that persisted from the beginning to the end of the War of Resistance. It used the most tragic sacrifices to wash away the title of "miscellaneous army" and became an iron-blooded army.
Jin Li used the propaganda of Jinchuan Daily and the song and dance troupe to successfully awaken the feelings of home and country among the bodyguards and female soldiers.
Although the Central Plains region is now in the hands of the Fourth Prince and other vassal kings and dignitaries, in the eyes of many bodyguards and female soldiers, they are also descendants of the Yan and Huang Dynasties.
If a member of the family makes a mistake, they can be beaten, but outsiders cannot bully them.
Therefore, there is no room for failure in Yuguan City.
Before Liu Tie could decide whether to ask for help, a personal guard came over quickly: "General, the battle damage statistics have been calculated."
"How much?" Liu Tie asked.
"Five hundred and twenty-six people were killed and 131 were seriously injured in the battle on the south wall. 408 people were killed and 169 were seriously injured in the battle on the north wall."
The guard replied: "There are still 877 brothers who can still stand up and continue fighting."
"There are only more than 800 people left?" Liu Tie held on to the city wall and almost fell down.
"Among the more than 800 people, there are more than 600 female soldiers." The guard continued.
Although men and women were equal in the Northern Expeditionary Army, the division of labor was still different.
Male soldiers are stronger, so the heavy armor soldiers are basically all male soldiers.
In the previous hand-to-hand combat, the male soldiers were at the front of the battle formation, closest to the enemy.
Although there is heavy armor protection, heavy armor is not omnipotent.
Casualties will also occur when encountering a bludgeoning blow from gravity.
During the final period of the special battle, many heavy armored soldiers were exhausted and their resistance was much weaker. The enemy took the opportunity to break their necks or smash their masks.
Compared with the heavily armored soldiers at the front, the female soldiers who hide behind and use spears to stab or shoot with hand crossbows will suffer fewer casualties.
"Ask for help..."
Liu Tie spoke in a hoarse voice.
Mr. Tian is right, even if Zhenyuan No. 1 delivers ammunition, someone must use it.
There are only more than 800 people left, and they have to face the enemy's north-south attacks day and night. They really can't hold on for too long, so they can only ask for reinforcements.
"Dapeng, how soon can you send the letter back?" Mr. Tian looked at Jinpeng.
Nowadays, airships and homing pigeons are not available, so the fastest way to deliver messages is steamship.
"If we use a speedboat, if everything goes well, we should be able to send the news back in two days and two nights." Jin Peng replied.
The ship had difficulty turning around. The Zhenyuan No. 1 was too big to run. Instead, the lightweight steamboat was faster.
"Mr. Tian, please write this letter."
Although Liu Tie participated in literacy classes, at his level, he could hardly read letters, let alone write letters.
Mr. Tian nodded, holding the hem of his robe and walking quickly towards the urn.
Jin Peng did not need Liu Tie to explain, and went to arrange the speedboat on his own initiative.
In fact, it is very unsafe for speedboats to sail at night, but in order to send the letter back as soon as possible, we can only take risks.
But at this moment, there was a sudden noise on the boat.
Immediately afterwards, a sounding arrow shot into the sky.
"what happened?"
Jin Peng frowned and asked.
Before the deputy captain could answer, he had already run to the crenellations of the city wall.
Looking out along the crenel, Jin Peng's scalp couldn't help but feel numb.
I saw densely packed rafts appearing on the sea to the north.
The number was greater than what Jin Feng encountered when he returned to Jinchuan from the East China Sea.
"Where did they come from?" Jin Peng's face changed.
The Chanyu of the Eastern Barbarians had long known that Jin Feng had steamships, and knew that once he attacked Yuguan City, the steamships would most likely come for reinforcements. How could he not be prepared?
Knowing that he didn't have the ability to compete with Zhenyuan No. 1 with weapons, he could only fight with quantity.
Before launching the siege, Shan Yu ordered his people to cut down a large number of trees and make a large number of rafts.
The structure of the raft is very simple, it is just two logs plus a few planks, and a sail is hung on the planks.
But there are too many, and the north wind is strong now, the sails on the raft are blown up, and the speed is too fast!
"Quick, prepare the catapult!"
Jinpeng roared and charged towards Zhenyuan No.1.
When Jin Feng returned to Jinchuan from the East China Sea, he also encountered this kind of intensive attack. At that time, Jin Feng used speedboats and hot air balloons to defeat the opponent.
But here is a sea surface that is countless times wider than the Yangtze River, and in order to prevent Zhenyuan No. 1 from releasing the airship, the enemy released Hai Dongqing and hovered on the sea surface.
The speedboats are still usable, but Zhenyuan No. 1 is equipped with only four speedboats in total. Facing so many enemies, rushing forward rashly is almost courting death.
The only thing Jinpeng can use now is the catapult.
"Company 1, come up with me and help! Others, please unload the ammunition as soon as possible!"
Liu Tie also followed Jin Peng with a battalion and a company.
By the time they ran to the deck, the front group of rafts had already rushed within 500 meters of Zhenyuan No. 1, and soon entered the attack range of the ship's catapult.
Catapults were launched one after another, some throwing explosive packets, some throwing grenades and jars of kerosene.
The sea, which was extremely peaceful just now, suddenly became lively.
The water waves caused by the explosive packs were tens of meters high, and countless rafts were overturned!
But there were too many rafts. After the catapults killed ten rafts, twenty or thirty rafts rushed over.
Soon, Zhenyuan No. 1 was surrounded by dense rafts.
The Eastern barbarians on the raft held up their shields to resist the escort's hand crossbow fire, while they lit the jars of kerosene that had been prepared and threw them on the deck.
