Chapter 145: There is an interception in front and a chasing soldier in the back
Several canopy boats, canopy boats and bird boats stopped in front of Luo Xianbin and his party at this time, and behind them were more than a dozen fast oars, and Chu Cailao's subordinates on these fast oars boats had lost their temper by these three "ghost boats".
The cannons of these ghost ships in the distance are fierce and accurate, and there are small Franco cannons and bird guns that are accurate and fast in the distance, and when they get closer, they actually have melon mines that will explode, so it can be said that they don't have a chance at all.
When they came, there were more than 20 fast oars, but it was not long before they were sunk and overturned, and they were killed and wounded.
And these cannons in their hands, put in front of others, are simply a joke, hitting other people's boats, like scratching the itch of their boots, not even a hole can be opened, at most it is good to be able to inlay the cannons and shells on the board of other people's ships.
In order to prevent these three ghost boats from escaping, just now there were several accomplices on the fast oars boat who tried to block in front of them and blocked their way with their fast oars, but these three ghost boats ignored their obstruction at all, and directly collided with them, and the two fast oars boats were stopped by them on the spot and smashed into two, and the other two were simply crushed to the bottom of the boat by them and directly crushed into pieces.
So they thought of all the ways they could think of, but they still couldn't entangle the three ghost ships at all, so they could only watch them continue to sail, and the speed seemed to be getting faster and faster at this time.
However, the minions on the fast oars boat at this time, after a desperate paddle just now, are exhausted at this time, and they want to rush up to entangle them like just now, and they are already powerless at this time, so these fast oars boats have basically lost their combat effectiveness at this time, and they can only follow the boat of the three sea wolves with great effort, and follow them to sniff their farts.
Luo Xianbin turned his head to look at the dozen or so remaining fast paddle boats, and the happy Da Lu laughed: "Ha Luha! These grandsons have tasted our power this time, and they want to stop us, I'm bah! It's almost as good as looking for death!
Pass the order, immediately count the losses and the ship's ammunition reserves, stop firing, save ammunition, and don't waste it on those fast paddle boats! They're gone, and they'll just stare at us and leave! ”
After the three sea wolves' ships received the order, they immediately stopped firing and accelerated to break through, but then Luo Xianbin received a bad news from below, that is, the ammunition on their three boats was basically exhausted.
It's not surprising to say that when they came out, although Yu Xiaotian ordered them to have enough ammunition on each ship, and the ammunition base far exceeded the amount carried by ordinary ships, but after they came out, they have been in high-intensity combat.
In the past two months, they have launched more than a dozen attacks on Chu Cailao's ships, almost every three to four days on average, and they have no base nearby for them to resupply, so they can only rely on the supplies they carry to ensure their movement as much as possible.
Moreover, the carrying capacity of their ships is not very large, and although the weapons, ammunition and food supplies they carry when they travel are relatively sufficient, they are almost consumed by this time.
This is also one of the reasons why Luo Xianbin decided to lead the team back to Nanri Island, but when he passed by here, he couldn't help it, and wanted to do another vote by the way, in fact, their ammunition was not very sufficient before this operation.
During these two months, the supplies they captured were basically the ships of the merchant fleet of the passing sea wolves, handed over to the merchant fleet at sea, and then let the merchant ships of the sea wolves be transported back to Nanri Island, and occasionally the merchant ships would replenish them with some ammunition and food and other supplies to ensure their movement.
For this reason, before sending them out, Yu Xiaotian also made some coordination with the merchant fleet, asking the merchant fleet to dispatch some ships and wait for them in several typhoon shelters around Chaozhou, Zhangzhou, and provide them with supplies while receiving the materials they had captured.
But in this era when communication basically relies on roaring, there is great uncertainty about such a supply plan, and many times Luo Xianbin and his party are not easy to find their supply ships, and more often rely on the materials they carry to maintain their operations.
Now, after a fierce battle, the sailors of the ships have fired at the enemy ships at any cost to prevent the fast oars from approaching them, and as a result, there is now a serious shortage of ammunition, which is already scarce.
In terms of the ammunition situation on the ship where Luo Xianbin himself is located, there are less than a few dozen rounds of ammunition left in the whole ship, and it is basically not bad to fire three or four more times if it is allocated to no artillery.
The situation of the other two ships was basically the same, and one ship was only able to guarantee that each gun could fire two more times, so it can be said that the ammunition of the shells has basically bottomed out.
Hearing this news, Luo Xianbin's face completely darkened, although they had just withstood the siege of those fast paddle boats, but they neglected to save ammunition, and only cared about having a good time, but they had already exhausted the already insufficient ammunition reserves.
This time things began to develop in a worse direction, there were several Chu Cailao's big ships waiting for them in front of them, and their current ammunition could no longer cope with the next battle, Luo Xianbin's heart sank.
He looked forward, and now their three boats were less than two miles away from the Chu Cailao's boats blocking the way, and Chu Cailao's boats were also heading towards them at this time, lined up to block their way to break through.
Luo Xianbin's mind spun sharply for a while, and he took a deep breath and asked, "In addition to artillery shells, how many other firearms are in reserve?" ”
"Qi Qi Luo Guan team, there is still a lot of ammunition left for the muskets, and there are more than twenty rounds of ammunition for each gun! There is only one box left for the No. 2 bullet (bamboo shell grenade), and two boxes for the No. 1 bullet (iron-shell grenade)! There are still four boxes of Molotov cocktails! The captain of the ship is responsible for the management of the whole ship, and it is his business to count and distribute ammunition, and after hearing Luo Xianbin's question, he immediately stepped forward and replied.
Luo Xianbin silently calculated, whether it was artillery or flintlock pistols on their ships, they were currently using fixed ammunition, and the projectile reserves of the artillery were larger, but the number of medicine packs was a fixed number, whether a box of grenades was bamboo shell bullets or iron shell bullets, each box was twenty, and a box of whale oil incendiary bottles was ten bottles, so calculated, their remaining available firearms were indeed not much, and they were not enough to cope with the next fierce battle.
For the time being, he had no way of knowing the details of the ammunition reserves on the other two ships, and it was estimated that the situation was basically the same, and maybe even more nervous than his ship.
He immediately ordered the three ships to come close together and inform each other of the ammunition reserves, and soon the ammunition reserves of the other two ships were also reported, and sure enough, the ammunition reserves on the three ships were basically the same, and the ammunition reserves on the other two ships were not even as good as the ship he was on.
Luo Xianbin's heart sank even more, and he knew that they were in really big trouble today.
"Listen! Today is not just about life and death for us! This is also related to the plans of our old camp! If we are stopped, then what it means next, I think the big guys will know it!
Before the big boss sent us out, he made it clear that we can't reveal our identities! We can't be taken prisoner! If we really can't get out, then we have only one way to die!
I Luo said ugly things in front, we would rather die standing than live on our knees! This is our big boss, you are all men picked out by the big bosses, don't fuck at this time!
If the war starts in a while, the ships will not be allowed to fire without my orders, and we now have limited ammunition, so we can only use it on the blade!
Don't worry too much about the big guys! Our ships are no match for their broken ships, and what if they are allowed to fight at will? They can't hurt our fur either!
The big guys get ready, hide under the side of the ship, and don't show their heads until they have to, let them run rampant first! And then give them the color to see!
It's a big deal that we crash into it, how can they withstand this collision of our ship? Let's try it today, just how sturdy our boat is!
All ships pay attention to protect the sails, and prepare the sails, at this juncture, the sails must not be messed up, I don't believe that these rabbles of his Chu Cai Lao can really stop us! ”
Luo Xianbin's voice was very loud, and the sea wolf tribes on the three boats that were close together basically heard his words.
Suddenly, nearly a hundred members of the Sea Wolf tribe raised the single sword in their hands above their heads and shouted: "Just stand and die, not kneel and live!" Kill, kill, kill! ……”
At this time, it seems that God also felt the pride of these sea wolf tribes, and the wind on the sea surface actually began to gradually increase, and the originally calm sea water also began to swell with layers of waves.
The sails of the three sloops, which had been a little deflated, gradually began to open, and the speed of the ship began to increase, and I don't know who cheered first, and then the sea wolf tribes on the three boats cheered with it.
Each of them knew very well what the advantage of their ship was, but today because of the very little wind at sea, their speed advantage could not be brought into play, it was like a strong man, bound hands and feet, so that they could not use their full strength, and they always felt aggrieved, otherwise they would not have been embarrassed by those fast oars just now.
Now that the wind on the sea has begun to increase, it is finally possible to give full play to the advantages of their boats, and it is like untying the ropes that bind their hands and feet, and everyone can't help but get excited.
Even Luo Xianbin did not hide the excitement in his heart, cheered together, and then shouted: "Brothers! See, even God is on our side now, and we are still afraid of them! Copy the guy! Get ready! ”
The three boats opened up a little distance, changed to a linear queue, still led by Luo Xianbin's boat, the three boats connected head to tail, and began to accelerate towards the oncoming Chu Cailao boats.
