In fact, telescopes are now very popular in the West, although the price is high, but because of its superiority, it has long been used in astronomical observation and many military operations, especially in navigational activities, it is inseparable from this kind of thing.

Even in the Ming Dynasty, it is expected that the telescope will be introduced, just because the Ming Dynasty currently has no glass industry, and if you want to imitate the lens unless you use a very transparent crystal to polish the lens, the price is extremely high, so it has just become a pleasure for some high-ranking officials, but it has not been popularized among the people, and few people know the Tao.

Now because the sea wolf has its own glass industry, and Yu Xiaotian has found a way to clarify the liquid glass with the soil method, and obtained the glass with relatively good quality, so he has produced this kind of telescope and equipped it with a large number of sea wolf people.

Moreover, those who have obtained the telescope are ordered to take care of this thing as if it were their eyes, and if they are unable to protect it in an emergency, they must immediately smash it or throw it directly into the sea, so that it does not fall into the hands of others.

Therefore, few people have seen this kind of telescope produced by Seawolf, and today, Chen Xun, as their big customer, was allowed to try this thing.

"Give the order to go down, the ships raise their sails, let's meet them, pick them up, and return home!" Yu Xiaotian took advantage of Chen Xun's enthusiasm to fiddle with the telescope and ordered.

The ships of the sea wolf, which had been maintaining a very low speed on the sea, pulled up their sails one after another after receiving the order, began to speed up, and increased their speed in the direction of the rising smoke, and met them.

The Chinese sail does have great advantages, although it is more laborious when the sail is raised, but with the help of the reels and pulleys, it is still relatively easy to operate, and the Chinese hard sail as a whole has a great advantage over the Western-style soft sail in terms of the speed of the sail lifting, and it also saves a lot of manpower, and there is no need for the crew to climb to the mast and risk retracting the sail.

The flotilla gradually accelerated, and sailed in the direction of smoke in a goose-shaped queue.

When the fleet had sailed for a while, suddenly Shangdou made a warning voice on the top of the mast: "There are many ships in the smoke ahead, more than ten of them, and it seems that there is a conflict!" ”

Yu Xiaotian's brows suddenly tightened when he heard this, and he shouted loudly: "All on alert, enter the battle preparations!" ”

The sound of an alarm bell immediately sounded on all ships, and the rapid alarm bell suddenly sounded throughout the fleet, and the sailors and soldiers who were resting on the ship immediately rushed to their battle positions after hearing the sound of the alarm bell.

All kinds of guns, ammunition, knives, guns, axes, and other items that had been stored in the cabins below the deck were quickly taken out, sent to the deck, and handed over to the soldiers and sailors who lined up on the deck.

The gunsuit of one of the door deck guns was lifted by the gunner, revealing the cannon below.

Chen Xun was immediately anxious when he heard this, and he didn't have time to watch the preparations of the Sea Wolf Tribe, because he knew that Yan Siqi hadn't sent many ships this time, and now that there were so many ships on the sea, then something must have happened.

So he hurriedly beckoned someone and sent him back to his ship, even Yu Xiaotian's telescope forgot to return it to Yu Xiaotian, at this time the fleet began to accelerate, the sea conditions were okay, Chen Xun's boat hurriedly sailed while sticking to Yu Xiaotian's boat, Chen Xun was really a veteran, flew and stepped on the side of the ship, jumped onto his own boat, turned to Xiaotian and shouted:

"Yu Dangjia, something must have happened, and I hope Yu Dangjia can help! It's time to be in charge! Chen Xun's anxious head was sweating at this moment, and when he begged Yu Xiaotian, his voice trembled.

Yu Xiaotian has also realized that something may have happened today, in this place, a group of ships suddenly appeared besieging Yan Siqi's ship, so it can basically be determined that someone has learned the news and ambushed Yan Siqi's silver ship here.

Although he was not as nervous as Chen Xun, he also felt very unhappy, because the silver was immediately his, and suddenly someone stuck a lever and wanted to snatch the silver, it would be similar to taking money out of his pocket, since he had bumped into it, then he would definitely not stand idly by.

"Brother Chen, rest assured, Yu Mou was originally here to pick up your brother's ship this time, since he encountered such a thing, how could Yu Mou sit idly by! All of them, full speed ahead, rush over! Look who's fucking going to pull teeth out of Lao Tzu's tiger's mouth! ”

The sea wolf's fleet immediately began to speed up and rushed towards the accident site, when a rumbling cannon could be heard in the distance on the sea, and smoke could be seen rising from all three boats.

"The ships that smoke are all our ships, and someone is going to rob them!" Chen Xun only found out that Yu Xiaotian's telescope was still in his hand at this time, and quickly raised it up and looked towards the accident site.

If it is only visual, it is not easy to see the location of the accident at this distance, even if the eyes are good, but after having a telescope, you can see quite clearly, Chen Xun saw through the lens of the telescope, and saw that their three boats were surrounded by more than a dozen boats on the sea, and there was still gunsmoke on the sea surface that had not all dispersed.

Zheng Python and Chen Xinji didn't talk about it, so they immediately tried to see the dagger and began to move, and more than a dozen ships under Zheng Yiguan immediately began to fire indiscriminately, aiming at Chen Xinji's three boats and bombarding them.

The three boats where Chen Xinji was in were flying sideways, the sails of the three boats were full of bullet holes, and the hull of the ship was also crackled by the guns of these guns, and from time to time someone let out a scream, and the bullet fell on the deck and blood splattered on the spot.

Chen Xinji ran back and forth on the boat, ordering that no cannons should be fired, and they would fight after they were attached, and all Yan Siqi's men lay on the side of the boat to avoid the guns flying in all directions, both frightened and angry.

In the past, they were also their own brothers, but now their own brothers are swords and guns against them, aiming their guns at them, and they want to drive them all out, and this kind of thing will not be happy on anyone's head.

Everyone gritted their teeth with hatred, and they couldn't wait to catch Zheng Yiguan and tear this guy apart at this time, but they had few boats and few people, and their firepower was definitely not someone's opponent, so they could only be temporarily pressed and beaten by Zheng Python's men.

In addition to the cannonballs, Zheng Python's subordinates also used a lot of cold weapons such as bows and crossbows, and began to throw arrows at the three boats, but because they wanted to grab the silver on the three boats, they didn't want to burn all three boats, so they didn't use a lot of rockets, and the bow and arrow seemed a little lacking in power in such a battle.

Zheng Python's ship soon approached Chen Xinji's three boats, and Chen Xinji ordered his three boats to stay close together and huddle together to defend against the enemy, in case they were divided and surrounded by Zheng Python's men, so that they would be attacked by enemy ships on both sides, making them unable to resist.

After hugging a group, even if they are surrounded, they only need to deal with the attack on one side of the ship, and relatively speaking, they can hold out for a longer time, hoping that their own ship will pass by or recruit the fleet of sea wolves that may exist nearby to help them get out of trouble.

Zheng Python is also very experienced, although there are many people on his boat at this time, but after Chen Xinji's three boats were in a group, he was a bit of a dog biting hedgehog and couldn't bite it, so he immediately sent someone to stick it up to fight the battle to seize the ship, because the other party's three boats were crowded together, and there were not many ships they approached for a while, but they didn't take advantage.

So he ordered the ships to keep bombarding these Chen Ji's ships with the cannons on board, trying to kill and wound more of their personnel first, so as to lay the foundation for the next step of jumping to seize the ship.

Although the cannons on the ships under Zheng Yiguan are also some old-style artillery, and even the iron cannons cast by the Japanese, the shape is different, and the firing range power is limited, but they have an absolute numerical advantage, when approaching the shelling, the barrels of these cannons are also filled with messy stones, broken iron and even broken porcelain, although these things are more injured in the barrel, but they don't care, when they bombard at close range, the power is also considerable, although the lethality of the ship is not large, but it will pose a great threat to personnel.

More than a dozen boats surrounded Chen Xinji's three boats and kept firing cannons, and the cannons flew in all directions on these three boats, and Yan Siqi's men on the three boats couldn't raise their heads at all, and the casualties were very large, and from time to time someone would be injured by the flying cannons and fall in a pool of blood on the deck.

In desperation, Chen Xinji had to evacuate some of the personnel to the cabin to avoid the guns, holding his head and waiting for Zheng Python to lead people to jump to help seize the ship, and then come out to fight with them in a white-knuckle battle, so as not to gather on the deck and be killed and injured too much by their shelling, so that there was no strength to engage in a broadside battle for a while.

The whole situation was on Zheng Python's side, and Chen Xinji's three boats were so pressed that they couldn't raise their heads, and could only occasionally fire some rockets at the enemy ships that were approaching, but they didn't pose much of a threat to the enemy ships.

Seeing that there were fewer and fewer people on the decks of Chen Xinji's three boats, and many people had fallen in a pool of blood on the deck, Zheng Python felt that it should be about the same, so he sent the boats to stick them up, and at the same time ordered the ships to lower their sampans, and used wolf pack tactics to besiege these three Yan Siqi's ships.

Many of Zheng Python's pirates began to descend to the small sampan, rocking or rowing, and pounced on these three boats, and several larger ships also attached to them, and began to prepare to fight white-knuckle battles to seize the boats, and snatch the silver from the ships.

Chen Xinji's forehead was injured, and blood stained most of his face, making him look hideous, but at this moment he couldn't care about this, gritted his teeth and insisted on directing his subordinates to resist, seeing that these Zheng Python's subordinates had already pasted up, he knew that the opportunity to return to the color had finally come.
