Chapter 30 The Praying Mantis Catches the Cicada 4
One or two small cannons on each of the three boats were immediately loaded, and they were erected on the side of the ship by the people on the upper part of the ship, ready to be fired.
Chen Xinji is also an old fur dog, quite experienced, seeing that they are outnumbered today, if they want to support for a while longer, they can't fight hard with them, they have to find a way to kill more people on the other side, so that the other party can't trap them, so that they have a chance to delay.
Now they have not fallen into despair, because Chen Xinji is lucky, hoping that the sea wolf's fleet is not far from them at this time, and the three boats insist on smoking together, if they don't get it, they may attract the sea wolf's fleet, and then they will be saved.
Even if they can't wait for the sea wolf to come, then they can't cheapen these bastards, so he ordered his subordinates, all three boats to place a barrel of gunpowder in the bilge, leave one person, prepare the fire sickle, and listen to the greeting at any time, once they can't hold on, when they see that they are about to finish, they will order the ignition, so that as soon as the powder keg explodes in the bilge, the hull will immediately split apart and sink into the sea, and it will not be cheap for these bastards at that time.
After hearing Chen Xinji's order, Yan Siqi's subordinates on all ships also had the will to die, even if they couldn't survive today, they would pull a few more cushions to accompany them to see Lord Yama.
"Listen to it, prepare the cannons, don't light the cannons without authorization, and when they put them up, listen to my orders to light the cannons, one cannon counts as one cannon, and if you can kill a few more, you can kill a few more!" Let them also see and understand, we are not vegetarians! Please bring out the oil cans and fire bricks, as long as they come up, they will be smashed to Lao Tzu! Set their ship on fire! Burn those bastards! Chen Xinji saw that his three boats had gradually been surrounded by these dozen boats, and it was no longer realistic to break through and escape back to Bengang, so he gave the most reluctant order.
After hearing this, the more than 200 Yan Siqi's subordinate boatmen and subordinates also agreed loudly and prepared for battle.
After a while, I heard more than a dozen cannons on the sea, and more than a dozen cannonballs were scattered at Chen Xinji's three boats, but at a slightly distance, they did not hit Chen Xinji's three boats, but fell in the sea near their boats.
There were two or three clippers rushing ahead, quickly approaching Chen Xinji and their three boats, and soon both sides could see each other's faces clearly, these people were more faceless, Chen Xinji didn't know them.
I heard someone on the ship shouting: "Drop the sails and stop the ship!" Lao Tzu wants money but not life, as long as you wait to stop the boat, Lao Tzu does not kill you! ”
Chen Xinji stood next to the side of the boat with a knife, spat at their baba, and scolded: "I! Fuck the shit! Who are you? Why are Lao Tzu's boats blocked here? Don't you know what Lao Tzu does? ”
On the boat that caught up, someone immediately sneered and shouted to Chen Xinji: "Lao Tzu doesn't care who you are, Lao Tzu wants the things on your ship!" If you leave something, let you live, and if you don't stop the boat, wait for the old men to kill it, and then kill you chickens and dogs! ”
"your grandma! What about Zheng Yiguan? Why didn't Zheng Yiguan dare to show up? Don't think that Lao Tzu doesn't know who you are! If you have the ability, you let Zheng Yiguan come out and answer! "Chen Xinji can basically judge at this time, these people must be Zheng Yiguan's subordinates, although these ships do not hang flags, and there are no trade numbers, but Chen Xinji knows that many of Zheng Yiguan's ships have just come from other places, and many of them do not have any signs on them, and only when necessary, will their flags be raised, but most of their flags are still the flags of Li Dan before, and they have not yet been changed to the flags of Zheng Zi, so the ships under Zheng Yiguan are basically not flags now, Some boats also have the number of Li characters painted on their sails.
Today, there is a boat with the number of Li on the sail, although it has been painted, but the traces left by the past can still be faintly seen below.
So he immediately determined the identity of these people and called out Zheng Yiguan's name by name.
At this time, a lucky boat also chased up, and after chasing close to Chen Xinji's boat, a person walked out of the side of the boat, and laughed loudly at Chen Xinji: "Chen is in charge!" Do you still know each other? ”
Chen Xinji's eyes were excellent, although there was still some distance between the two sides, he still immediately recognized the person who came out to talk to him.
He recognized at a glance that this person was Zheng Yiguan's eldest brother Zheng Python, so he was even more angry in his heart, pointing at Zheng Python and scolding: "Zheng Python! How dare you come to see me! Good! You said! What exactly do you want today? ”
Zheng Python laughed wildly and shouted: "Master Chen! Good eyesight! In that case, then it's easy to say! Today I know what you are going to do, so I am waiting for Brother Chen here!
Brother Chen is a smart person, and his brother often says that those who know the times are handsome! Brother Chen has also seen today's situation, you should understand that you can't leave today!
If Brother Chen can drop the sails and stop the ship now, and let Zai Xia pick up the goods on your ship, or if Brother Chen simply takes refuge with his brother, then I can guarantee that my brother will never treat Brother Chen badly in the future! And all these brothers on the ship, you are the same, as long as you wait to take refuge now, I will never treat you badly in the future!
What do you think? Brother Chen, have you figured it out? ”
Chen Xinji's face turned purple at this time, and he pointed at Zheng Python and scolded: "Ahh Python two! You don't want to be rampant! I, Chen, am the kind of villain you think!
Our Yan Dangjia treats your brother well, and even treats him as a brother, taking care of him everywhere, and supporting him everywhere, and you white-eyed wolves, now that you are just full-fledged, you immediately turn your face and deny people, and you actually want to be the enemy of Yan Dangjia, even if I Chen dies today, I will not take refuge in you bastards!
Brothers, don't listen to this bastard's nonsense, he will never spare my life, let's fight with them! ”
Yan Siqi's subordinates on the three boats were also furious at this time, although they were nervous, but they also understood that what Chen Xinji said today was right, Zheng Yiguan had not turned against Yan Siqi now, and the reason why Zheng Python was blocking them here was that he didn't want people to know that they did it, so as not to tell the truth, so whether they surrendered or not, I am afraid they will not live.
So Yan Siqi's subordinates followed and scolded.
After Zheng Python listened to Chen Xinji's words and the scolding of Yan Siqi's subordinates, his face suddenly changed, and he scolded with a cruel smile: "Give shameless things, since you are willing to beg for death, then Lao Tzu will fulfill you!" Fire! Kill them all! ……”
Suddenly a cloud of gunsmoke and flames rose on the sea, and there was a rumbling sound of cannons and shouts of killing......
The sea wolf's fleet sailed slowly on the sea, slowly moving on the sea fifty miles away from Bengang, and the sea wolf tribes on the ship were also relatively relaxed, and did not enter a state of alert, only the upper bucket at the top of the mast, wrapped the clothes on his body tightly, shivered a little from the cold, and looked at the surrounding sea from time to time.
Yu Xiaotian invited Chen Xun to his ship, set up a small table on the stern, prepared a pot of tea, and waited while sipping tea.
The two of them chatted all over the world, although Yu Xiaotian did not necessarily have Chen Xun's place to run in his life, but fortunately, the later generations were an era of information explosion, and the amount of information people obtained was not comparable to that of people in this era at all, so he could find some topics casually, and he could make Chen Xun dizzy, which made Chen Xun admire Xiaotian's extensive knowledge.
They came a little earlier today, originally Yu Xiaotian could have made the fleet closer to Bengang, but Yu Xiaotian had his own plans, this time he helped Yan Siqi, and he didn't want too many people to know about it, and this area was also the area where Zheng Yiguan's subordinates were active, he didn't want to tear his face with Zheng Yiguan at this time, so he decided to wait in this area, not too close to Bengang, so as not to let Zheng Yiguan's subordinates know that he was involved in their dispute.
Seeing that it was still early, Yu Xiaotian and Chen Xun sat on the deck and chatted nonsense, and through the conversation with Chen Xun, they also learned a lot about Yan Siqi and their previous affairs.
Just when they were chatting enthusiastically, someone suddenly reported to Xiaotian: "There seems to be smoke rising on the sea in the southeast, as if a ship is coming!" ”
When Chen Xun heard this, he quickly put down the tea bowl, stood up and ran to the side of the ship, raising his eyes to look at the sea, but he didn't see smoke rising from the sky in the distance, so he was a little puzzled.
And Yu Xiaotian also followed, stretched out his hand, and someone immediately handed over a single-tube with adjustable distance, came to the front of him, aimed at the direction indicated by his subordinates, pulled the copper tube of the telescope to adjust the magnification, and nodded after a while: "It's really smoking!" It seems that your ship is coming! ”
Chen Xun is very curious about this telescope in Xiaotian's hand, this thing is not something he has never seen, this thing should be the kind of clairvoyance used by the Taixi people on the ship, but even in the hands of the Taixi people, there are not many such things, it is said that you can see far away through this copper pipe, so it is known as clairvoyance.
The Taixi people regarded this kind of thing as a treasure and rarely took it out for sale, so Chen Xun had only seen the red-haired people use this kind of thing, but he had not personally tried the magic of this kind of thing.
So he begged Yu Xiaotian with a shy face to let him see this thing, so Yu Xiaotian was not stingy, so he handed over the telescope to Chen Xun and simply taught him how to use it.
Chen Xun hurriedly took it and brought it to his eyes, adjusted the focus according to the method taught by Yu Xiaotian, and gradually saw a puff of smoke rising on the sea in the distance, and felt that this thing seemed to pull the scenery far away to his eyes, and he could see it very clearly, which really made him a little dumbfounded, and felt that this was really amazing.
(Woohoo, see you again!) Thank you GZG1972 and Brother Hululu for the tip! I'll keep you updated! )
