The four boats were sailing south on the sea at night, and the sea breeze was blowing the hard sails on the mast, and at this time Liu Da'er was quietly leaning around the fire chief who was engrossed in checking the compass, this fire chief was able to recite the tide song upside down, and see how capable the compass was carrying needles, and he had always wanted to steal something from him to improve his position in the pirate group. On this pirate ship, the captain in charge of the ship, except for this fire captain below the captain, is the helmsman, in fact, he has a good status of firing guns, but he never counts on it. He has been on this pirate ship for two or three years, he has a good idea of the guns on the ship, every time the cannon is fired, the cannon is three feet high, and it can't be tied with a rope, and in the past two or three years, he has changed several times, either he was hit half dead by the cannon jumping up or burned all over his face by the gunpowder that spewed out of the ignition hole, and there is no doctor on this sea, if he is seriously injured at sea, except for death or death. He is a single heir of three generations, and he has not yet married a wife, if he is thrown into the sea by the sailors while wailing, his Liu family will be the last one.

"I will be able to reach the Donghaiwei beacon tower at dawn tomorrow, and I will be able to return to Wenshan Port in ten days." The fire chief glanced at the little sailor leader who had been on the ship for several years. Although this little boss has no power, he is smart and clever, and he is quite cared for by these people, and sometimes the fire chief will teach him a little bit of fur or something.

"Seriously, if we hadn't met that thing the day before yesterday and set the boat on fire, we would have gained a lot this time." Liu Da'er felt sorry for the boat that caught fire the day before yesterday. "Seriously, that big bird flying in the sky, and didn't breathe fire or throw out a fire pot or anything, why did it set the boat on fire?"

"I don't know, that thing can fly in the sky, and it's really nothing to set your boat on fire. Fortunately, not many brothers died, and only six gunners died in the stern roundabout position, and the others were saved. The fire chief said with a smile.

The gunner, who was checking the cable on the other side, laughed. "You think it's the monster that lit the boat? Thinking about it beautifully, it was the six gunners themselves who did not clear their chambers when loading the gunpowder, and the gunpowder erupted by itself. ”

………………………………

A few nautical miles away, the anti-smuggling boat and 8154 were speeding on the sea, and the splash was split by the bow of the ship, stirring to both sides, and drawing two long waves.

"Captain! Five nautical miles away from the target, contact after about twenty minutes. The radar hand sat in front of the radar screen and turned his head to shout to Tang Xunliang, who was sitting in the command room.

"Okay!" He picked up the intercom and informed the 8154 "cruiser" a hundred meters away, "Bu Zhongfu!" This is a smuggling boat, and the target has twenty minutes to go within visual range. You can start preparing. ”

"Understood. Our people are going to prepare now. Bu Zhongfu put down the intercom, ran to the back deck, and waved at the few traversers on duty behind. The two operators on the deck quickly shook the handles to hold the trebuchet on the aft deck into place. Because the arm is quite large, it takes two people to shake it for two or three minutes to get on well. The scorpion crossbow launchers on the foredeck also began to wind up, and loaded a long wooden pole with tar at the tip of the pole inside, and waited for contact with the opposing ship.

"There is contact on the starboard side!" The lookout on the smuggling boat shouted loudly with binoculars. The person next to him hurriedly turned his gaze to the starboard direction, and there was a glimmer of light at the end of the sky in the distance.

"Time!" Tang Xunliang shouted loudly.

"Ten twenty-five p.m."

"The unknown ship is two nautical miles away, heading due south, at a speed of about three knots." The observer shouted.

"Turn on the searchlight!" With Tang Xunliang's order, the large searchlight on the top of the command cabin was turned on with a "bang", like a burning air cutting through the night sky, and a dazzling light band directly shone on the sails of the incoming ship.

"What's going on?" Liu Da'er couldn't help but cry out loudly. This powerful light shone on his ship, and anyone who looked at it could not see anywhere else for a short time. Seeing that the situation was not good, one of the sailors hurriedly waved the flag at the ship that followed.

Everyone was in a panic, since the day before yesterday when they saw the monster flying in the sky and lost a ship inexplicably, they thought that their voyage would not be easy, but they didn't expect to encounter such an unbelievable thing. They usually use large copper mirrors to illuminate the light, and it is often dark thirty paces away, but the light in front of them is at least from eight miles away, what kind of light is this?

A black man came out of the cabin, and when he saw the chaos on the deck, he couldn't help but get angry, and yelled twice, calming everyone on board.

"What are you guys up to? The other party came over, it was nothing more than a boat, we robbed at sea, and we were afraid that others would come to rob it? He roared loudly. Raise the flag and let the boat behind be ready, you are all in place, if the other party plans to do something to us, I Zhong Bin is not easy to deal with. ”

The sailors on the ship immediately seemed to have found the backbone, and hurriedly flagged and filled the gunpowder, and Liu Da'er also hurriedly went down to the cabin to find his long knife and ran to the deck, and if he helped, he would rush over with the other sailors who jumped the gang.

"A nautical mile away! The speed and course are the same! The observer shouted.

"The people on the ship are preparing for battle, the tail ones are flagging and the people in front are loading their artillery! Do you want to keep your distance? The lookout reported loudly.

"Notify 8154 follow us to turn 90 degrees to the left and cut their heads." Tang Xunliang ordered loudly.

Soon the hull of the ship tilted slightly, and the 8154, which was 100 meters away, also turned to the left with the anti-smuggling boat.

"Shout and tell them to stop the ship for inspection!" Tang Xunliang gave the order.

The people on the side, holding loudspeakers, began to shout at the ship that was approaching them. "This is the U.S. Coast Guard, and you're now in our territorial waters! Please let us know your intentions and sailing plans. ”

Tang Xunliang couldn't help but turn his head in astonishment and turned his head to look at the shouter, "What US Coast Guard?" ”

"The number given to us by the military team. Let us now inspect the incoming ship in this capacity. ”

Tang Xunliang could only smile, he can only be regarded as a parasitic fence now, after all, now he can't even count the real traversal, this person who has been mixed in the system for a long time naturally understands the importance of having a place in the system.

"American...... Coast Guard ......" Zhong Bin couldn't help but turn his head to look at the people on the side, and everyone gave him a blank look.

When did this come about? He's been running this route for five or six years, when did a U.S. Coast Guard suddenly come out? Besides, hasn't this route always belonged to the Wu Dynasty? How did this America come out?

"Go, grab a maritime merchant and ask them if they know about this." He ordered to Liu Da'er on the side.

Liu Da'er hurriedly got out of the cabin with a long knife, walked through the narrow corridor that smelled of mold, came to a cell, and knocked twice on the door. "Who of you knows about America?"

"I know." A man dressed in satin who looked like a wealthy merchant trembled and raised his hand. "The United States is a foreign country overseas, and there are quite some strange and ingenious things, such as perfume, and there are many kinds of goods such as medicines under it......"

Liu Da'er waved his hand impatiently, "Come out, follow me up and have a look." ”

When he dragged the trembling rich merchant to the deck, the two ships on the opposite side were no more than two miles away, and the people on the Fu ship were all stunned, including Zhong Bin, a well-informed master. Liu Da'er looked at the boat not far away with a smile, and was also stunned.

This ship has no sails! Nor did the sailors who paddle or the rowing sailors behind. The problem is that these two boats can move freely and at a very fast speed, and their own boat can't run half the speed of this ship even if it is full sail and downwind.

Zhong Bin's heart surged at this time, although the two boats on the opposite side were running fast, but he didn't see any cannons, and there were not many sailors on it, if he managed to get closer, he suddenly let the sailors jump up, and it was definitely not difficult to control these two boats. He hurriedly called a few sailors over, and gave two quick orders, and these sailors quickly nodded and led the order down to the deck.

"This is the U.S. Coast Guard, stop the ship immediately! Get checked. The ship in the distance sent another warning. Zhong Bin was stunned, he hadn't paid attention before, but now he was stunned to find out how the other party's voice could be so loud, he smiled, no matter, anyway, he will know what is going on when he catches these two boats.

He also asked the rich businessman who was kidnapped as a meat ticket, but this rich businessman actually only knew that there were American goods, and he didn't know where the United States was, and he could only learn from the rich businessman that the Yankees had a lot of strange and ingenious things, all of which were unacceptable. The bright light of the night, the sailless oars, and the louder noise, are nothing more than some tricks and tricks, and when you capture these two ships and catch a few American sailors, you will naturally know how to use these things.

"Sail down! Stop the boat! Zhong Bin waved his hand, and the sailors began to drag the cable behind them, slowly lowering the hard sail.

Oriental ships are made of straw mats, which are very wind-resistant and adaptable to different wind directions, but the disadvantage is that it is difficult to extinguish once the fire is fired, and it is very time-consuming and laborious to collect and release.

"Captain! They stopped the ship! The lookout shouted.

"Weapons ready, let 8154 provide fire support from 200 meters away, we are ready to approach." Tang Xunliang ordered loudly, "Wear a stab-proof suit, load your weapon, and prepare for battle!" ”

The crossing crowd and the armed police soldiers on the boat were a little stunned, didn't this stop the boat? What else to prepare for the battle?
