Daming pirates

Two ships flying the Chu Cai Lao flag were wandering aimlessly outside Zhangzhou Bay. The two ships were relatively close to each other, and there was a layer of mist on the sea. The minions on the ship were lying on their backs.

At the side of the ship, they were looking in all directions on the sea, looking for their favorite target, and at the same time they were talking to each other about the strange ships that had recently targeted them.

"Brother, do you think we will run into those ghost ships this time?" A thin man lay on the side of the ship, looking boredly at the sea, and asked a man next to him.

The guy in question shook his head, turned around and sat on the deck leaning against the side of the ship, and sighed: "I don't know, these ghost ships are always so damn elusive, no one knows where they are now.

Where is it!

You kid, don’t fucking expect to run into them. If we run into each other, our two ships will not be able to benefit! We are still hoping that it is best not to run into them. Otherwise, we will probably be the unlucky ones.

!”

After the thin guy looked at the sea for a while, he turned around and sat down against the side of the ship. He touched the guy next to him who was slightly older than him with his elbow and whispered: "I said fourth brother, guess what?"

What are the backgrounds of the people on those ghost boats? Why do they focus on us? There are so many merchant ships passing by on the sea, why don't they pick the weak ones, but why do they want to cause trouble for us? "

The guy called Fourth Brother turned his head and looked around, snorted angrily and whispered: "I can't guess, but I guess we don't know which shopkeeper offended the tough guy. Nowadays, people are specializing in it."

We are here to take revenge!

It should be co-authored! ***, we shopkeepers are now relying on us to follow Chu Da as the boss. There are many people and many ships. We don’t care about anyone’s face and don’t follow any rules! I don’t know how many people have been offended.

I am afraid that our colleagues alone will offend no less than ten companies. Is it any wonder that some people are making trouble for us?

The strange thing is that these ghost ships are said to be very powerful. They come and go without a trace. They come and go on the sea like the wind. I really can’t think of anyone who can make such a good ship! If only we could make such a ship.

, that would be so cool!”

"I said Fourth Brother, why do you say that? Our shopkeeper Xiao is well prepared this time! We have gathered more than a dozen boats and hundreds of men here, how can we be afraid of them! If they don't come, that's it.

, if they come, how can we not keep them if there are so many of us?" the thin man said a little unconvinced.

But the guy called Fourth Brother glared at him and cursed in a low voice: "You are such a pig brain! Even if Shopkeeper Xiao has prepared so many boats this time, don't forget that our two damn boats are too

Bait for fishing! Don’t fail to catch the fish, and instead the fish swallows the bait! Anyway, it’s us who are unlucky! You’d better hope you don’t run into those ghost boats! You’d be damned if you run into us.

My life is about to be decided!"

When the thin man heard this, his expression changed and he nodded in agreement. He no longer felt as excited as before.

The two ships under Chu Cai's crew wandered on the sea for a while and found nothing unusual. So the captain of the ship asked the helmsman to adjust the course and turn towards the east sea of ​​Kinmen Island, preparing to get there.

Cruise around again.

But they didn't know that at this time, on the sea east of Kinmen Island, there were three single-masted boats with novel styles slowly walking parallel to the two boats of Chu Cai's old men. The distance between the two sides was inadvertently changing.

He slowly drew closer, but the layer of mist on the sea blocked the sight of both parties.

On the first boat, there was a young man wearing a cloak, standing on the side of the stern of the boat. From time to time, he took out a copper pipe and put it in front of his right eye. He closed his left eye and looked towards the sea through the copper pipe.

Looking up from the top, he looked quite heroic.

This person is none other than Luo Xianbin, who was the first to follow Yu Xiaotian out of Xiaohuang Island. Previously, Luo Xianbin was violently punished by Yu Xiaotian because he and Feng De were robbing a woman. Luo Xianbin and Feng De were punished by force.

They were obedient, but relatively speaking, the two of them were a blessing in disguise, and they were taken seriously by Yu Xiaotian.

In the next two years, these two guys basically stayed with Yu Xiaotian. Being taught by Xiaotian's words and deeds, they naturally learned a lot more than others, and with their own efforts, the two of them,

They all also learned to steer, starting from the helmsman and gradually reaching the position of first mate.

This time Yu Xiaotian sent three sloops to form a smuggling fleet. When selecting people, Luo Xianbin was finally selected to serve as the captain of this smuggling fleet.

He led his team south to Quanzhou and began a several-month revenge operation against Mr. Chu Cai.

So far, their three boats have been out for nearly two months. During these two months, they have gained a lot, knocking out more than a dozen of Chu Cai's old men who were alone one after another.

of ships.

Moreover, Luo Xianbin obeyed Yu Xiaotian's instructions, never being willing to fight, never fighting head-on with Chu Cai's men, and only choosing ships that were alone or within two ships of Chu Cai's men to attack, and often they would leave with one blow.

, grab it if you can, and if you don’t have time, set fire to the ships belonging to Chu Cai’s men.

They relied on the flexibility and speed of these three sloops. In the past two months, in the waters south of Quanzhou and north of Chaozhou, Chu Cailao and his men were like frightened birds.

I have a phobia, but I still can't figure out the origin of these three boats.

Under the leadership of Luo Xianbin, their three boats were traveling here and there without any regularity to hunt Chu Cai Lao's men. They may still be operating on the sea in Quanzhou today. In less than two days, they used a single mast to hunt Chu Cai Lao's men.

The name of the schooner appeared again on the ocean surface in the Chaozhou area.

In this way, it also created an illusion for Chu Cailao and his men. It was impossible to figure out how many such enemy ships there were against them, and it also made them unclear about where these strange ships would appear.

where.

Such an action caused great losses to Chu Cailao and also caused great psychological pressure on them. However, it also made the Sea Wolf tribesmen on the three sloops very tired.

The sails were badly damaged.

In less than two months, the sails on the three ships, including the spare sails, had been damaged to varying degrees due to excessive stress and frequent battles with people.

If the sails were repaired, these three ships would probably lose their ability to move long ago.

So after calculating the time, Luo Xianbin decided that it was time to return to Nanyue Island with the three boats for rest and recuperation. The boats also needed to be overhauled, the crew should take a breather, and the sails should be replaced with new ones.

So they started to return north from Chaozhou, which is why they appeared in the Kinmen Island area at this time.

Originally, they had sailed through Zhangzhou Bay and were planning to continue heading north. However, the upper bucket on the mast accidentally discovered these two ships flying the old flag of Chu Cai operating outside Zhangzhou Bay in the mist with binoculars.

.

So Luo Xianbin came up with an impromptu idea and decided to grab some grass and hunt rabbits here, then fuck Chu Cai Lao, and then return north to Nanyue Island.

Now the Sea Wolf tribesmen on the three ships have entered a battle-ready state. The gunners in the cabins have already entered the fighting position. They uncovered the artillery jackets on both sides and the bow and stern of the ship, took out the powder bags and projectiles, and

After being prepared for battle, the soldiers on each ship also prepared various weapons and placed their secret weapons, grenades, under the ship's side, ready for use at any time.

However, the grenades on their ship are not made of iron shell, because after trying the iron shell grenade, some crew members said that this thing is too powerful. Sometimes when two ships join the ship and throw it onto the other side's ship, it explodes. It is very powerful, although it can effectively kill people.

The enemy, but sometimes in the melee, one's own personnel will be accidentally injured.

However, the Zhan Barracks was very satisfied with the iron-shell grenades, but the soldiers in the Shui Camp were afraid of this guy, so Yu Xiaotian modified the grenades accordingly, using bamboo tubes to fill the gunpowder, and mixed some broken glass into them.

Class footing

Bamboo shell grenades were made from raw materials. After the test, the power of this bamboo shell grenade was much lower than that of iron shell grenades, and the killing diameter was also much smaller. Although the attack power was much weakened, it was more suitable for use in shipboard battles.

.

Therefore, the hand grenades used on ships today are mainly bamboo shell hand grenades. Although iron shell hand grenades are also equipped on ships, they are mostly used before joining the shipboard or in critical moments. Under normal circumstances, sailors on ships no longer use this kind of thing very often.

.

The three ships stayed far away from the sea level, relying on the upper bucket to stare at the two Chu Cai Lao's ships with binoculars, while their hulls were hidden in the thin mist on the sea, making the other side rely only on sight.

, unable to detect their existence.

Regardless of the war, both sides in any era often pursue unilateral battlefield transparency. The telescopes that Seawolves began to equip in large quantities provide them with a battlefield advantage here, allowing them to often grasp the battlefield in advance than the enemy.

Dynamic, basically achieving unilateral transparency on the battlefield, which also provided considerable technical support for their sneak attacks.

When he saw an island appearing in the telescope lens, Shang Dou reported the distance between the two sides. Luo Xianbin also held the telescope and confirmed the situation between the two sides for the last time through the mist.

"Haha! It's their misfortune too! Three against two, we have the upper hand! Brothers, be energetic and kill them. Let's prepare to go home! Let's show them how powerful they are!" Luo Xianbin finally made up his mind to attack.

, shouted loudly to the men on the boat.

The faces of the Sea Wolf tribe members on the three boats were relatively relaxed. After agreeing, they each started to raise the sails and raised the main sail and jib. The wind on the sea was not strong at the moment. Even so, in

After raising the sails, the three new-style ships still gained a higher speed, and began to cooperate with each other, forming a "Chinese" formation, rushing out of the mist, and rushing towards the two ships of Chu Cai's old men.
