Daming pirates

Yu Xiaotian couldn't see the battle situation on the big ship and was a little worried about Heitou and others. However, he still resisted his desire to draw his sword and rush up personally. These guys under him are not children. One day

Being on his own, he couldn't take the lead every time, so he had to trust them, so he loudly ordered the man on top of the mast to fire his gun accurately to support the black-headed soldiers.

Each upper bucket on the mast is equipped with a bird gun. Originally, Yu Xiaotian wanted to give them a few more guns so that they could fire continuously after loading them. Unfortunately, he only had these few guns on hand.

It was a gun, so they could only bring one.

The most important training in daily battles is not only to train your eyesight, but also to be able to judge the shape of ships on the sea and the enemy and friends. The other is to practice aiming and shooting with muskets.

However, it is not easy to accurately hit a target the size of a human body on a constantly shaking mast. The muzzle of the gun is pointed downward, and if the projectile is smaller, it may slip out of the barrel, so place the gun facing downward.

, when loading a projectile, you need to wrap the projectile with a small piece of silk before stuffing it into the barrel.

In short, it is not easy to fire a gun on it and shoot accurately, which puts higher requirements on the fighters.

Now the Shangdou above is not Liu Wang, but another young junior, nicknamed Monkey. Because he is thin, but very agile and courageous, Yu Xiaotian chose him as Shangdou.

This guy was on top, silently, holding a blunderbuss, and his body was swinging back and forth along with the mast. Suddenly, he pulled the gun, and the blunderbuss immediately went off.

Yu Xiaotian didn't know whether the guy was hit or not, but after a while, people begging for mercy could be heard on the boat.

"Don't kill! Don't kill! Why don't we surrender? Squat down, squat down quickly! We surrender..."

Immediately afterwards, I heard the cheers of the sea wolves on the lucky boat, and then I heard the black head shouting and cursing on it: "He bastard, surrender and don't kill him! Hold your head and lie down! Hold the back of your head!"

, lie face down on the ground, who dares to move, my knife does not recognize anyone!"

Yu Xiaotian breathed a long sigh of relief, knowing that the battle on the Fortune Ship was basically over, and if he listened carefully, the sounds of fighting and fighting above had basically subsided.

So he stopped staying any longer and loudly ordered the helmsman to turn the helm and leave the lucky ship. He left the work above to the soldiers such as Heitou. He let them control the lucky ship for the time being, and then went to deal with the lucky ship.

Catch the shuttle boat.

The shuttle boat was following behind Fu's ship just now, trying to help Fu's ship, but now it saw that the pirates had climbed onto Fu's ship and started fighting hand-to-hand. Knowing that something was not good, they quickly turned around.

Then he followed Fu Chuan and tried to take advantage of this opportunity to escape.

The Yellow Fish came from a distance, chasing the gondola boat like a puppy. Luo Xianbin on the boat jumped up and down, brandishing a single knife, and shouted loudly, ordering the gondola boat to stop quickly and order

Otherwise, what if...

However, their deterrence was too small and they were completely despised. The people on the boat simply ignored their threat and continued to turn around and flee.

Fortunately, Yu Xiaotian turned the Seal around in time and began to pursue the shuttle boat. He did not let him take the opportunity to slip away. He soon caught up with the shuttle boat and started firing at it.

The shuttle boat also tried to resist and fired back, but only saw a bang on the Seal. The stern part of the ship was hit, and a hole was immediately made. Madman Meng was so angry that he jumped and cursed.

Madman Meng loudly ordered the gunners on the ship to fight back immediately, and the two cannons blasted two holes in the boat, which was a direct revenge.

After Yu Xiaotian dealt with the Fu Chuan, he turned around and started chasing the Zhuang Ship. The Zhuang Ship and the Seal had already run far away, so he could only speed up the pursuit behind them.

At this time, the monkey above shouted: "Another ship has appeared from the south. I can't tell what it is for!"

After Yu Xiaotian glanced into the distance, he loudly told the monkey: "Keep an eye on them and don't worry about them yet!"

After a while, the monkey shouted from above: "The incoming ship has already started to turn around and escape. Don't worry about the tiller!"

After nearly half an hour of pursuit, the shuttle boat was finally caught up by the Seal. The two sides fired a round of cannon fire at each other, but the shuttle boat was defeated and one of the cannons on it became mute.

The Sea Wolf took advantage of this moment to catch up. At this time, the Sea Wolf had no soldiers on board and could only support the Seal on one side. Liu Tong took a gunner to operate the front and rear cannons respectively.

, another gunner operated the small Folang machine on the side of the ship, and also launched a bombardment from the other side.

Although their cannons were a bit overestimating their capabilities in trying to sink the shuttle boat, they could effectively scare and intimidate the boatmen on the shuttle boat.

Seeing that the lucky ship had lowered its sails and was under control, three pirate ships surrounded it. The sailing ship was unable to escape or fight. Continuing to resist would be a dead end. The steward on the ship had no choice but to give the order.

Lower the sails, stop the ship, and surrender to the sea wolves.

Therefore, the sea wolves did not pay much to clean up the shuttle boat. Madman Meng quickly jumped on the shuttle boat himself and led his men to tie up everyone on board, completely controlling the situation.

A sailing boat.

Yu Xiaotian exhaled the turbid air in his chest happily, and his mood suddenly became much more comfortable. He couldn't help but burst into laughter, thinking that I too will have this day! Now that I have become prosperous, I have built two boats at once.

, let’s see who in this area dares to look down on me in the future!

Thinking of this, he ordered the flag to be raised, and ordered the black heads on the lucky boat to start gathering towards them...

Originally, according to the Li family's idea, not even the people on the two boats of the Lei family were left alive, but they were killed and their bodies were destroyed so that the Lei family themselves could not figure out what happened to the two boats.

However, doing so obviously conflicted with Yu Xiaotian's behavior. Yu Xiaotian only agreed to the Li family's hijacking of the ship, but did not agree to kill all the people on the ship. He wanted money but not life. He had his own problems in this business.

in principle.

Manager Li was a little disappointed at the time, but he still agreed to Yu Xiaotian's conditions, only to rob the boat and kill the young man. However, he still hoped to cause as much damage to the Lei family as possible, so after Yu Xiaotian thought about it, he decided to capture the two Lei family.

The Lei family's boat was tied up and everyone on board was used as meat coupons, and the Lei family was asked for a ransom.

So after Yu Xiaotian robbed the two boats, he did not let go of the people on board as usual, but tied them all up and threw them into the cabin. Then he ordered his men to take four boats and tow the Yellow Fish on the side of one boat.

At the stern, we set sail and sailed back to Treasure Island.

After this trip, Yu Xiaotian's losses were not great. However, when he was trying to seize the lucky ship, three of his men were injured by two relatively powerful escorts. Two were slightly injured and one was seriously injured. But the black head was also injured.

He led his men to kill the four escorts on the spot.

In addition, three people were killed by shelling and bullets on the Fu ship, and the rest, including the stewards on the two ships, were all captured, for a total of twenty-seven people.

After interrogation on the way back, Yu Xiaotian also got a list of the goods on the two ships. These goods were nothing more than some common goods, mainly porcelain, silk, tea, and lacquerware, all of which were mainstream export commodities.

.

Moreover, there are a total of three artillery pieces on the two ships of the Lei family. They are all lightweight and similar to blunderbuss. They are old-fashioned artillery pieces with limited power and can only resist small groups of pirates. Their deterrent effect is greater than their actual combat effect.

These old-fashioned artillery were not what Yu Xiaotian wanted. These guns had short range, low power, and no rear sights or crosshairs. They were far behind Western-style artillery in both naval and land battles.

So what he wants most right now is not this thing, but more advanced Western-style artillery. Even a smaller three- or four-pounder cannon is at least much more powerful than the messy artillery he is using now.

It's a pity that he doesn't have the strength to make this thing by himself at the moment. This is not something that a few blacksmiths can make by themselves with an iron furnace. He must have more resources before he can make his own cannon.

Therefore, he was not happy about the capture of these three small cannons. However, he captured a few more bird cannons on the Lei family's ship. These were still relatively good things. At least they were not far behind the times. In this era

It's quite a sharp weapon.

The news of the successful ship robbery was quickly sent to the Li family. At the same time, the news was also passed to the Lei family through the peripheral channels of the Li family. Yu Xiaotian proposed a ransom of 500 taels of silver to the Lei family based on the head and identity.

, requiring the Lei family to pay money to redeem the person within a month, otherwise the vote will be broken.

The Lei family suddenly lost two ships and a ship full of goods, and was asked for a ransom of 500 taels. Dang even panicked, thinking of ways to contact Yu Xiaotian through various channels, expressing his hope to pay the ransom.

At the same time, they also used some money to redeem their two ships.

In the end, they didn't know that the Li family was the owner of Sea Wolf's den, but through a pirate named Zhang Chuan on the coast of Fuzhou, Zhang Chuan found Liu Yidao, who knew Yu Xiaotian, and through Liu Yidao, they found Treasure Island and Yu Xiaotian.

Tian tried to discuss the matter.

Yu Xiaotian received Liu Yidao's visit very politely, but he refused the conditions proposed by the Lei family. The reason was very simple. He fell in love with these two ships and decided to keep the ship that would replace him.

, will not return it to the Lei family, but for the sake of Liu Yidao's visit, the redemption of silver can be exempted from two hundred taels.

Liu Yidao looked at the boats in the Shuizhai Bay of Treasure Island, and his saliva almost flowed to the ground. Although his boat was also a medium-sized lucky boat, his boat was not as good as the one Yu Xiaotian took from the Lei family.

A lucky boat.

Of course he knows the importance of such a ship to their industry. Anyone who gets such a ship will not let it go easily. His trip here must have been in vain. Even if Yu Xiaotian gives him another

Face, it is impossible to return this boat to the Lei family, but at least Yu Xiaotian did not completely throw his face to the ground, but he readily agreed to waive the two hundred taels of silver redemption for the Lei family.

, this is already quite a favor to him.

Special thanks to Brother Tie Shou for the reward. Today is Hanfeng’s birthday. Give yourself a day off and go out to play! Haha!)
