Chapter 533: Veteran, Pirate, Sailor (Page 1/1)

Liu Xiang's words frightened the shopkeepers under him into not daring to speak, and they bowed their heads one by one without speaking.

"Dumb? Hokkien scares you? Liu Xiang's gaze swept over the people present like a falcon, and finally stopped on the person who stood up.

"Big brother! Since Fujian Nansha Island dares to stretch out his hand to Guangdong, we have to chop it off for him. Otherwise, South Shark Island will definitely go south, and no matter whether you win or lose, you will be cheaper! "This man is in his thirties, and his dark face gives a sense of ability.

Liu Xiang nodded with satisfaction and said, "Not bad!" Chu Cai said well, you take ten boats to leave that one named Meng or something for me! Remember to bring me both the man and the boat, and I want to see if the Fujian people can live a few more days without skin! ”

When the other shopkeepers heard Liu Xiang's words, they all shuddered. Liu Xiang likes to skin people alive, and every time he encounters someone who makes him angry, he has to peel off the other party's human skin for collection.

Chu Cai was ordered to take people out to sea to intercept the Fujian cargo ship, and Chu Cai could be regarded as one of Liu Xiang's relatively large shopkeepers.

There are more than a dozen ships under his command, and there are hundreds of pirates who dare to fight. He boarded a ship with his men and sailed out into the vast sea, waiting for the arrival of the cargo ship on the way to Fujian.

After Meng Fanrui and Shang Ping separated, they stood on the boat and sighed. Although he did not buy the Exocet clipper, he bought the armed merchant ships captured by the Changxing Army.

This kind of merchant ship is not as fast as a warship, and its firepower is not as good as that of a warship, but it is more than enough to deal with pirates.

Changxingjun, who purchased saltpeter this time, did not come forward, but let him appear in Guangdong as an agent. Meng Fanrui believed that Liu Xiang would attack him no matter what his purpose was, and with an armed merchant ship, he had more confidence in this trip.

The only thing that bothered Meng Fanrui a little was that the sail line operation of the armed merchant ship was too troublesome, and if he hadn't hired retired soldiers from the Changxing Navy, he would definitely not be able to drive this fast ship.

Meng Fanrui came to a young man with a broken leg and said, "Brother Qian has worked hard, without you, our group of people would be blind!" Thank you! ”

Even though Qian Bing broke a leg, he still stood straight on crutches. He bowed his head slightly and said: "The owner is polite, Qian Bing and his brothers are already grateful that they can allow the owner to take them in, how can they be worthy of a thank you word from the owner!" ”

"Where did Brother Qian come from, how can you come and help me, how can you not say thank you! Has Brother Qian ever been married? The little girl is fourteen years old, and her appearance is also considered Zhouzheng, I don't know how to ...... Qian's brother" Meng Fanrui wanted to take the big ship of the Changxing Army, and in order to win over this former officer of the Changxing Army, he even used his own daughter.

"This ......" Just when Qian Bing was unexpected, the people on the watchtower blew the copper whistle.

"There is a sail shadow ahead, look at the person whose flag is Liu Xiang!" The watchman's shout made everyone nervous.

Liu Xiang, who they had been worried about, appeared, and whether this armed merchant ship could get rid of Liu Xiang's pursuit or not depended on the next performance.

Meng Fanrui's face changed, and he said to Qian Bing: "Brother Qian! How do we deal with it? ”

Qian Bing walked up to the tail tower, looked at the dozen pirate ships in the distance with a clairvoyant mirror and said, "Twelve ships, all of them are lucky ships." Their ship is too slow, let's go straight to each other's left and rush over! ”

Under his series of orders, all the sails of the armed merchant ships were spread and rushed towards Chu Cai's left.

Chu Cai, who intercepted it, was very surprised to see that the other party turned out to be a Xiyi big splint, and they didn't bargain for the Xiyi people.

But he didn't back down, how could twelve to one keep the other party. As long as you can grab this big plywood, it doesn't matter if you run out of your own boat.

Qian Bing watched the pirates change formations and rush towards him, calmly giving orders one after another. The sails and helmsmen, under his command, began to make the armed merchant ship rush towards Chu Cai's side.

Qian Bing's heart was depressed for a while, and Meng Fanrui's sailors were too slow. If this is in the Changxing Army, he will be able to defeat the pirates in front of him with this armed merchant ship.

Watching the sailor's clumsy movements amid the shouting of his men, he was speechless for a while. He could have retired and returned home to enjoy his happiness, but the obsession in his heart made him unable to let go of the sea.

In order to be able to sail the ship on the sea again, he resolutely joined Meng Fanrui's command. Although it was only an armed merchant ship, it also allowed him to regain the feeling of fighting the enemy in the past.

In the end, the armed merchant ship could not completely evade Chu Cai's interception, and Qian Bing chose to pass through the middle of the two pirate ships. Death Canyon made everyone on board nervous, and the gunners pushed the 6-pounder gun to the side of the ship.

Originally, the 12-pounder gun on the ship was removed, and Meng Fanrui had no opinion on this. It was already a surprise for him to get ten 6-pounder guns, not to mention that there were five Changxing Army gunners who could handle guns.

"Li Wei! Your kid's missing thumb won't affect aiming, right? If you can't hit, you kid will go home and farm for me, don't embarrass our little captain! Qian Bing yelled at Li Wei, who was missing the thumb of his right hand.

They were soldiers together, and they boarded Zhang Huan's No. 3 killer whale battleship together. Qian Bing was already a first-class private, commanding ten sail operators to be responsible for the operation of the mainmast.

Li Wei was also the commander of the 18-pounder gun crew, and the first battle in the fog made both of them disabled soldiers at the same time. Originally, Li Wei could go to the Flying Fish clipper as a gunner, but out of brotherhood, he followed Qian Bing to board an armed merchant ship.

"Qian Bing, just look at it! Wait until the pirate who has to pee his pants! Li Wei instructed the sailors to adjust the angle of artillery firing while arguing with the Qian soldiers, without the tension of the big war at all.

The composure of both of them affected the sailors on board, from the initial panic to the current methodical preparation for the shelling. Although in the eyes of Qian Bing, these people are still far behind, at least they are much better than the headless flies just now.

Due to the large distance between Chu Cai's two lucky boats, Qian Bing seized the opportunity to plunge directly into the middle of the two boats.

The two ships of pirates hurriedly turned their rudders and moved closer to the middle, hoping to sandwich the armed merchant ship in the middle. At the same time, several bowls and pets on the ship were aimed at the armed merchant ship, and at the moment when the armed merchant ship intersected with them, several cannon shots rang out on the pirate ship.

Qian Bing, Li Wei and the three veterans of the Changxing Army heard the sound of the cannon as if they hadn't heard it, and continued to be busy with the movements in their hands.

The sailors were much worse, and many of them lay on the deck for fear of being hit by the pirates' shelling. The helmsman was even more frightened and threw down his work and turned to run, and for a time there was chaos on the armed merchant ship.

The armed merchant ship, which had been in the middle of the two pirate ships, had fled with the helmsman and approached the pirate ship on the left.
