Two ships flying the big flag of Chu Cailao wandered aimlessly outside Zhangzhou Bay, the two boats were relatively close, the sea was filled with a layer of mist, and the minions on the boat were lying on the side of the ship, looking at the sea in all directions, looking for their favorite targets, and at the same time talking to each other about the strange ships that had been specifically aimed at them recently.

"Brother, do you think we'll run into those ghost ships this time?" A skinny minion was lying on the side of the boat, looking boredly at the sea, and asked a minion next to him.

The minion who was asked shook his head, turned around and sat on the deck against the side of the ship, sighed and said, "I don't know how to do it, these ghost ships are always fucking elusive, and no one knows where they will be now!"

Don't fucking expect to run into them, you kid, and we won't be able to please these two boats! It's better for us not to run into them, otherwise, it's probably us who are unlucky! ”

After looking at the sea for a while, the thin minion also reflexively sat down against the side of the boat, touched the slightly older minion next to him with his elbow, and whispered: "I said fourth brother, guess what the people on those ghost boats are?" Why do you want to stare at us? There are so many merchant ships passing on this sea, why don't they pick soft persimmons and pinch them, but they want to find us trouble? ”

The minion known as the fourth brother turned his head to look around, and snorted angrily and whispered: "I can't guess, but I guess it's because we don't know which shopkeeper offended the hard stubble, and now people are looking for us to take revenge!"

Co-authorship should too! Grandma's, we shopkeepers are now relying on us to follow Chu Da as the master, there are many people and boats, and no one looks at their face, and they don't talk about the rules at all! I don't know how many people Lu Dao has offended, I am afraid that my peers alone will offend no less than ten families and eight families, and some people are looking for trouble with us, what's so strange?

The strange thing is that these ghost ships are very powerful, they come and go without a trace, and they come and go like the wind on the sea, I really can't think of anyone who can make such a good ship! If we can get a boat like this, it will be a dead deal! ”

"I said Fourth Brother, why do you say that? This time, our shopkeeper Xiao is prepared! We have more than a dozen boats and hundreds of subordinates here, where can we be afraid of them! If they don't come, if they come, how can we not keep them with so many of us? The thin man said a little unconvinced.

But the minion known as the fourth brother glared at him and scolded in a low voice, "You are really a pig brain!" Even if Shopkeeper Xiao has prepared so many boats this time, don't forget that our two boats are also fucking bait for fishing! Don't miss the fish and get swallowed by the fish! It's still us who are unlucky! You'd fucking hope you don't run into those ghost ships! When we run into our mother's life, we're almost going to give an explanation! ”

When the thin man heard this, his face changed, and he nodded yes again and again, and there was no longer the excitement he had just now.

After wandering around the sea for a while, the two ships under Chu Cai's old men did not find anything unusual, so the ship's captain ordered the helmsman to adjust the course and turn towards the sea east of Kinmen Island, preparing to go there and cruise again.

But they didn't know what to do, at this time on the sea east of Kinmen Island, there were three new style dhows slowly on the sea and these two Chu Cai's old men ships in parallel, the distance between the two sides was unintentionally slowly narrowing, but the layer of mist on the sea blocked the sight of both sides.

On the leading boat, there was a young student wearing a cloak, standing on the side of the stern, from time to time taking out a copper pipe and putting it in front of the right eye, closing his left eye, and looking at the sea through the copper pipe.

This person is not an outsider, it is Luo Xianbin, who was the first to follow Yu Xiaotian out of Xiaohuangdao, before Luo Xianbin was cleaned up by Yu Xiaoyan because of the matter of robbing a woman with Feng De, and he and Feng De were obedient, but relatively speaking, the two of them were also blessed by misfortune and were valued by Yu Xiaotian.

In the next two years, these two guys have basically been by Yu Xiaotian's side, taught by Xiaotian's words and deeds, and naturally learned a lot more than others, and the two of them have also learned to take the helm with their own efforts, starting from the helmsman, and gradually achieving the position of the first mate.

This time, Yu Xiaotian sent three sloops to form a smuggling fleet, and when selecting people, Luo Xianbin was finally selected to serve as the leader of this smuggling fleet, and he led the team south to the south of Quanzhou to start a months-long retaliation against Chu Cailao.

So far, their three boats have been out for nearly two months, and in these two months, they can be said to have gained a lot, knocking out more than a dozen ships under the old Chu Cai who were lone after another.

And Luo Xianbin strictly obeyed Xiaotian's orders, never fell in love with war, did not fight hard with Chu Cai's old men, and only chose to start with the ships of Chu Cai's old men who were alone or within two boats, and often left with one blow, and if they could grab it, they would rob it, and when it was too late, they would set fire to the ships under Chu Cai's old men.

Relying on the agility and speed of these three dhows, in the past two months, in the waters south of Quanzhou and north of Chaozhou, Chu Cailao and his men have been suffering from phobia, but they have never been able to figure out the origin of their three boats.

And their three boats, under the leadership of Luo Xianbin, ran around without a little regularity to Chu Cailao's men to hunt around, and now they may still be active in the sea of Quanzhou, and in less than two days, they appeared on the ocean surface of Chaozhou with the help of the speed of the sloop.

In this way, it also created a false impression for Chu Cailao and his subordinates, and it was impossible to figure out how many such enemy ships were fighting against them, and they did not know where these strange ships would appear.

Such an action caused a lot of losses to Chu Cailao, and at the same time, it also caused them a lot of psychological pressure, but at the same time, it also made the sea wolf tribes on the three dhows very tired, and the sails on the ship were seriously damaged.

In less than two months, the sails of the three ships, including the spare ones, were damaged to varying degrees due to excessive force and frequent encounters, and if it were not for the continuous repair of the sails by the sailors on board, these three ships would have lost their ability to move a long time ago.

So calculating the time, Luo Xianbin decided that it was time to return to Nanri Island with three boats to rest, the ships also needed to be overhauled, the personnel should also breathe, and the sails should be replaced with new ones.

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

Originally, they had already sailed through Zhangzhou Bay and were about to continue north, but Shangdou on the mast unexpectedly used a telescope to spot these two ships flying the old flag of Chu Cai operating outside Zhangzhou Bay in the mist.

So Luo Xianbin made a temporary decision and decided to pick up the grass and beat rabbits here, and then do Chu Cai's old vote, and then return north to Nanri Island.

Now the sea wolf troops on the three ships have entered the state of imminent battle, and the gunners in the cabin have already entered their respective battle positions, uncovered the gun armor on the sides and the bow and stern, took out the medicine bag and projectile, and prepared for battle, and the soldiers on each ship also prepared all kinds of weapons, and placed their secret weapon grenade under the side of the ship, ready to be used at any time.

However, the grenades on their ship are not iron-hulled, because after trying the iron-hulled grenades, some crew members reacted that this guy is too powerful, and sometimes when the two ships are thrown on the other ship's ship and explodes, it is full of power, although it can effectively kill and injure the enemy, but sometimes in the melee, it will always cause accidental injury to their own personnel.

However, the war battalion was very satisfied with the iron-shell grenade, and the soldiers of the water battalion were afraid of this guy, so Yu Xiaotian modified the grenade accordingly, and used a bamboo tube to fill gunpowder, which was mixed with some scraps such as broken glass to make a bamboo shell grenade.

So nowadays the grenades used on ships are mainly bamboo-shelled grenades, although the ships are also equipped with iron-shelled grenades, but most of them are only used before the board or at critical moments, under normal circumstances, the sailors on the ship are not very commonly used this kind of thing.

The three boats remained far within the horizon, relying on Shangdou to stare at the two Chu Cailao ships with binoculars, while their hulls were hidden in the thin mist on the sea, making it impossible for the other party to detect their existence only by eyesight.

Regardless of the era, both sides of the war are often pursuing unilateral battlefield transparency, and the telescopes that the sea wolves began to equip in large quantities provide them with a battlefield advantage, so that they can often grasp the dynamics of the battlefield in advance more than the enemy, and basically realize the unilateral transparency of the battlefield, which also provides a considerable technical guarantee for their sneak attacks.

When he saw the island in the lens of the telescope, Shangdou reported the distance between the two sides on it, and Luo Xianbin also held the telescope and confirmed the situation between the two sides once through the fog.

"Ha Lu Ha! Co-authors should also be unlucky for them! Three-on-two, let's have the advantage! Brothers, brace your spirits, kill them, and let's get ready to go home! Give them another look! Luo Xianbin made up his mind to attack and shouted loudly to his men on the ship.

The faces of the sea wolves on the three boats were relatively relaxed, and after agreeing, they each began to set sail, and the main sail and the front spinnaker were raised, and the wind at sea at this time was not too strong, even so, after the sails, it still made these three new ships gain a higher speed, and began to cooperate with each other, in a zigzag formation, rushed out of the mist, and rushed towards the two ships under Chu Cai's old men.
