Chapter 146 Ranger Harassment
The boats opened the way to continuously detect the water depth, and the hydrological measurement combat team continued to advance. For a moment, both the offense and defense became nervous~~~~~
Two quarters of an hour later, almost all the big ships began to move and headed two miles outside the Lushun coast. The idle soldiers seized the time to have a hot lunch. The hydrological surveying team had measured 150 steps outside the coast. Yang Lichun looked at the nearly 100 cavalrymen more than ten steps away from the shore, thought for a moment, and then said loudly: "Order, the whole army will move closer to me."
The messenger shouted: "No!", and then quickly took two small yellow flags more than three feet high from his back and began to sing the same flags in the east, south, west and north directions.
In a moment, twenty-nine small whistle ships that received the flag-tongued signal quickly moved closer to the ship where Yang Lichun was. With the neat and rhythmic sound of horns, about two quarters of an hour, thirty small whistle ships gathered together at 110 steps on the coast outside the south gate of Lushun.
Yang Lichun said loudly: "Each ship retains two pulp hands, and enters a hundred steps outside the coast. The archers start to shoot light arrows. The density of the archers must be concentrated. I will tell you where to shoot later. Everyone will shoot together. The long-distance player and the rattan player must protect their soldiers on the boat. We only move seventy steps away from the coast and execute the orders."
Yang Lichun said, and the four messengers were neatly retelling with iron horns. The sound was amplified by the enhancement of the iron horns and clearly entered the ears of each soldier. Yang Lichun started to move the ship first, and the left and right hands cooperated to tacitly paddle the oars. Eight long card players raised the long cards and protected their comrades around them.

A dozen steps away from the Lushun coast, nearly a hundred Mongolian cavalry were scattered around the coast. Baihu Qiyan Jirigala, who was riding a brown horse, said loudly to the personal soldiers beside him: "The Southern Barbarians are already one hundred steps away from the coast. I have passed my order. The whole army will retreat, then turn around and gallop towards the coast. With the speed of the horse, they will shoot light arrows to the small boat closest to the coast of the South Gate."
"Zha, I'm obeying the order." A low-sized soldier responded loudly, then rode a fast horse and told all the cavalry along the coast that he kept verbally stating the orders of Baihu Qiyan Jirigala. However, at a time, nearly a hundred cavalry who received the order quickly rushed to retreat.
But in a moment, the Mongolian flag bearers ran thirty or forty steps, then quickly drew a semicircle and rushed towards the coast. When Yang Lichun saw that the situation was wrong, he immediately shouted loudly: "Rise the shield!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a sharp light arrow came quickly over the sea surface that was more than a hundred steps wide. With a "puff", a light arrow then plunged into the long card forest like a shield. After about inch of the card, the light arrow, more than two feet long, was steadily fixed on the long card. The sharp arrow pierced through the long card body, revealing its sharp edge inside~~~~~
A round of nearly a hundred light arrows rained down into the sea, and a small number were blocked by long cards and rattan cards, and did not cause casualties in the hydrological battle group. The cavalrymen of Mengbai Banner drew a semicircle again with the speed of the horse galloping and retreated one after another.
