In fact, it is true that the East China Martial Dock is also a flying ground in Jinfeng.
It's just that this is the site of the East China Sea fleet. Zheng Chiyuan, the commander of the sailor and Jin Feng, must not come to disturb. The bandits also know that there is a dart master sitting here, and he dare not come to death.
Therefore, in the king's scuffle, Yuxi Town became a place like a paradise.
The Donghai Dock is the only place where Jin Feng can make large ships. Jin Feng also attaches great importance to it. He specially sent a company to guard here.
Lian Daoqiang was already ready to go to bed. I heard that there were speedboats who came from the northern waters and quickly got up and got up.
When he rushed to the pier gate with the deputy company commander, Hong Taoping, director of the shipyard, came over.
At this time, the speedboat hadn't entered the gate. Hong Taoping glanced at the sea and turned to look at Daqiang: "Daqiang brother, why didn't I see Zhenyuan No. 1?"
Two days ago, Zhenyuan No. 1 passed here and also stopped the ship for supply, so they knew that Zhenyuan No.1 went to Yuguan City.
Now I only saw the speedboat but did not see Zhenyuan No. 1, so that Hong Taoping had a bad premonition in his heart.
Is Zhenyuan No. 1 broken?
This situation also appeared once before. Zhenyuan No. 1 just came out of the entrance of the sea, and the steam engine suddenly did not work. Finally, he rushed to the dock with sails, and then sent someone to send someone to repair it.
"Maybe Zhenyuan No. 1 stays in Yuguan City to help, maybe it may fall behind."
Daqiang is not only comforting Hong Taoping, but also comforting himself.
"I hope!" Hong Tao nodded flat.
However, both of them know that the main responsibility of these two speedboats is to protect Zhenyuan No. 1. If there is no emergencies, it is impossible to leave Zhenyuan No. 1 too far.
No one talks next, the speedboat is slowly leaning off the shore.
"Hong'an, why are you here, Zhenyuan No. 1?"
Daqiang watched the dart divine from the speedboat.
Hong Taoping also saw it.
"Zhenyuan No. 1 ... was sinking ..."
Hongan lowered his head and said.
"Shen ... sink ..."
Daqiang stared at his eyes, his face was incredible.
"Impossible, no ship in the world can sink the Zhenyuan No. 1!"
Hong Taoping refuted even more.
The main part of Zhenyuan No. 1 was created by the team. Except for Jin Feng, he knows the internal structure of Zhenyuan No. 1 than anyone else.
It is also better than anyone who knows Zhenyuan No. 1.
I didn't see Zhenyuan No. 1 just now. He speculated that Zhenyuan No. 1 might be bad at halfway. He didn't think that Zhenyuan No. 1 might be sunk.
I did not expect to be sunk by the "enemy ship".
"What ship is the enemy? Is it faster than Zhenyuan No. 1, is it faster?"
Hong Taopeng stared at his eyes and asked.
"No, it's a raft ..."
Hongan lowered his head and talked about things after.
"How can this? ... How could this be? ..."
Hong Taoping still couldn't believe it, such a powerful battleship was broken by the raft: "Why don't you run?"
Although Zhenyuan No. 1 is huge, there are steam engines as power and sails. When running, the raft is difficult to catch up.
"We just finished the water in the boiler at that time, ready to clean the boiler ..."
"This ..." Hong Taoping couldn't help covering his forehead: "How can you catch up so coincidentally?"
Everything is really very clever. Dong Zhidan did not know the way of working in the steam engine at all, nor did he know that when cleaning the boiler, Zhenyuan No. 1 could not move.
His strategy is very simple, just like siege, win with numbers.
As long as Zhenyuan No. 1 can be killed, even if all the rafts sink into the sea, it will be a victory in the eyes of the Shanyu of the Eastern Barbarians.
So when Zhenyuan No. 1 appeared, he issued the attack order.
However, it would take time for the Eastern Barbarians to gather together, board so many rafts one by one, and row the rafts out from behind the hill.
When the escort discovered them, the boilerman had just drained the water.
If the Eastern Barbarians attack earlier or later, Zhenyuan No. 1 will be able to resist.
All I can say is that everything happened just in time.
"The Eastern Barbarians are so despicable!" Daqiang cursed angrily.
"Company commander, Zhenyuan No. 1 has sunk now, and it is meaningless to talk about it anymore."
The deputy company commander turned to look at Hong An: "What's the current situation in Yuguan City?"
"The situation is very bad."
Hong An told several people about the situation in Yuguan City: "General Liu sent us back to ask for help, but now Yuguan City is lacking everything. The supplies we brought on board were not enough to return to Jinchuan, so we came here to replenish some supplies!"
"If you need anything, tell me quickly and I'll send someone to prepare it right away!"
"We need coal, heavy crossbows, kerosene, and a few brothers who are good at sailing to take turns sailing with us."
Hong An was not polite and stated his request directly.
Normally, a speedboat needs to be equipped with six people, but in order to leave more people to guard Yuguan City, the two speedboats that came to deliver the message were only equipped with two people each.
One is responsible for burning the boiler, and the other is responsible for controlling the direction.
In order to send the letter back as soon as possible, they had not slept all day and night.
Even for meals, I ate grilled steamed buns while driving the boat.
In fact, if they persist, they can reach Jinchuan, but once they encounter danger, they don't even have the manpower to resist.
Fortunately, they are on the sea. Even if they encounter pirates, they can run away with the speed of the speedboat and there is no way the pirates can stop them.
But the Yangtze River is only so wide, and the water bandits only need to get a dozen fishing boats and pull up ropes to block the river.
Once they encounter this situation, they are too passive.
"Third Platoon Commander, hurry up and get ready!"
Daqiang turned around and gave the order.
The dock itself is a large supply station, with abundant supplies for all types of shipping.
Knowing that the matter of Hong An and others was important, the third platoon leader moved very quickly. In just one stick of incense, all the materials needed for the speedboat were replenished.
Daqiang also assigned a class of escorts to each speedboat to escort them.
Hong'an didn't rest. After replenishing supplies, he immediately hit the road again.
It was already dark at this time, and the wind on the beach was very strong, but Daqiang and Hong Taoping watched the speedboat leave without going back, and just stood outside the lock.
Hong Taoping is sad about Zhenyuan No. 1, while Daqiang is worried about Yuguan City.
Behind them, the deputy company commander was also frowning and thinking.
After a moment, Daqiang turned around and looked at the deputy company commander: "Lao Wu, let's transfer two platoons to Yuguan City to reinforce Tiezi?"
"Company commander, Mr. Jin's order to us is that no matter what happens, we must stay at the dock and not leave!"
The deputy company commander shook his head and said: "What's more, given the current situation in Yuguan City, what use can we send two platoons there?"
"But we can't just do nothing, how about we just do this?" Daqiang asked, clapping his hands.
"No, we should do something for Yuguan City," the deputy company commander shook his head and said, "But not directly sending people for reinforcements!"
