Chapter 141: The Trap

The sloops of the three sea wolves easily fell behind the ship of Chu Cai's old men, and the distance was getting closer and closer, making the old Chu Cai's men on that boat like frightened birds, and they could only desperately raise the sails and adjust the sails, and kept turning the rudder to try to get rid of them.

But their efforts were obviously in vain, and their wide ship was far from being a match for a sloop like a sea wolf, no matter how much they tossed on the sea, the three sea wolf ships always bit him, not giving them the slightest chance to escape.

And at this time, the boats of the three sea wolves also changed back to a zigzag formation, and after falling behind the ship of this old man of Chu Cai, they aimed at the ship with the twelve-pounder howitzer at the bow of their ship, and began to bombard.

Although the 12-pounder howitzer does not have a long barrel, the charge and projectile weight are much higher than the 6-pounder gun, and the firing range has not increased much, but the power in the effective range has increased greatly.

Although the Canton ships were generally made of elaborate materials and had a sturdy hull, the Canton boat, which was used as bait, was a broken ship, and if it was hit by a few 12-pounder shells, there was still no good fruit to eat.

The ship of the three sea wolves forced the ship to the eastern bay of Kinmen Island like cats and rats, and after a few shots, they made a big hole in the stern of the ship, and almost destroyed the rudder of the ship, making it incapacitated, and the minions on board screamed and fled like despair.

Seeing that Luo Xianbin was about to catch up with the ship with his ship, he repeated his trick and destroyed it with a row of cannons, but at this time, he saw that on the enemy boat, a few arrows tied to flowers suddenly swished up.

In fact, this kind of arrow is a kind of rocket, the arrow is still fired by the bow, but the arrow shaft is tied to a relatively large flower, after the flower is ignited, the arrow can fly farther and higher, this kind of rocket in the Ming Dynasty has been quite popular, a swarm of rockets is a large number of equipment of the Ming army, has become a standard weapon.

But today, on the ship under the old hand of Chu Cai, these rockets are a bit unusual, after they are launched, there is a piercing whistle, it turns out that this is a kind of dysprosium, when it rises to a high altitude, there is an explosion at the end, and it explodes in the air.

The piercing sound of dyssis coupled with the sound of explosions immediately spread a long distance on the sea, and this situation couldn't help but surprise Luo Xianbin, because this enemy ship suddenly cast a ringing dysprosium, which was obviously not untargeted, this kind of dysprosium is generally used to transmit news or warn purposes, why would they release dysdia at this time?

A series of question marks popped up in Luo Xianbin's mind, and he suddenly raised his head and shouted to Shangdou on the mast: "Shangdou, immediately search the nearby sea and the situation in the bay of the island!" ”

Shangdou also basically focused on the fleeing ship just now, just staring at it and not letting it escape, when he heard Luo Xianbin's order, he quickly agreed, raised the telescope in his hand, and immediately searched the surrounding sea.

There was still a faint layer of mist on the surface of the sea, which more or less affected their line of sight, but even so, with the help of the telescope, the distance of Shangdou's observation was still quite improved, and soon this Shangdou exclaimed on the mast: "Qiqi Luo Guan Team!" Unknown ships have appeared around us! ”

Luo Xianbin's heart suddenly tightened, and he immediately picked up the monocular hanging around his neck and hurriedly looked at the nearby sea, and sure enough, in his lens, he soon saw the shadows of ships on the sea, some of which sailed out of some capes on Kinmen Island, and some of which sailed from the sea.

These vessels range in size from large seagoing vessels to small fishing boats, but the most common is a large sampan called an allegro.

This large sampan has no mast and sails, the hull is long and narrow, and there is a large oar at the stern, this large sampan is operated by two people, in addition to providing power for the boat, it is also used to control the direction of the boat, in the hull, the front and back staggered can carry more than a dozen people, each person has an oar, if rowed together, this sampan is very fast.

In the coastal area, this kind of ship is basically used by pirates as a pirate ship, mainly used along the coast, can not enter the deeper seas, and sometimes will break into the inland rivers and raid the villages along the river.

This tactic is rarely used by sea wolves, but it is very common among many pirate groups in the south, so Luo Xianbin is no stranger to these fast oars.

But suddenly there were so many chaotic ships on the sea, this matter was not simple, Luo Xianbin immediately realized that they were in trouble today, so he shouted: "Give up the pursuit immediately, and prepare for the pick-up!" We're fucking ambushed! ”

The three sea wolves' boats immediately began to turn their rudders, and the atmosphere that had been very relaxed suddenly became tense, and after these sea wolves scanned the surrounding sea, they all realized the seriousness of the problem.

I saw that at this time, the shadows of the boats emerged from all directions on the sea, and their direction was the same, all of them surrounded them, it was obvious that they were in trouble today, and the two ships under the old Chu Cai that they were chasing just now were simply bait thrown by people, luring them to bite the hook.

Now they really bite it out of nowhere, and now they are being dragged into someone's ambush circle.

The current situation can be said to be completely reversed, they have become prey from hunters in the blink of an eye, as for their end, it depends on their ability.

"Grandma's! The brothers have listened carefully, and today this old man Chu Cai has set a trap for us to jump, which is to put us to death!

Can we get him? Don't forget what our boss told us, we must fight when we meet the enemy! No matter how many of them come, are we afraid of them? Luo Xianbin has a bit of a morale-boosting ability, and when he saw that the faces of his men on the ship had changed drastically and their morale was declining, he immediately yelled at them!

After listening to Luo Xianbin's roar, the sea wolf tribes on the ship immediately cheered up again, this group of people was selected, when they came here to do this work, everyone actually knew very well that their situation would be very dangerous, they had to leave their familiar waters, go to the enemy's waters to operate, and also face the lack of supply bases, lack of places to hide from the storm, to constantly attack Chu Cailao's ship, and at the same time could not reveal their identities.

Everyone knew very well before they came, that they were likely to pay a huge price for it, but the reason why these people were willing to come, in addition to their loyalty to the sea wolf, was that by participating in this operation, they could get a high reward, and in addition, they could get a chance to be promoted, and they would be gilded with a layer of gold.

So when Yu Xiaotian decided to send such a smuggling fleet, he attached great importance to the selection of personnel, and the selected personnel belonged to the most loyal, and at the same time, they were also very resilient and brave and ruthless, these people can be called the elite of the sea wolves, and it is not an exaggeration at all, and now when they are in danger, although they were a little flustered at first, but after Luo Xianbin encouraged them a little, these guys immediately cheered up again.

The whistle of the leaders quickly sounded through the three boats, and all the members took a deep breath at this time, and rushed to their respective positions, and all kinds of weapons and damage materials were quickly taken out of the cabin and placed in various parts of the ship, including those iron-hulled grenades that they usually did not use, and at this time they also took them out, and pried open the lid of the wooden box, revealing round and black guys.

Flintlock pistols were also taken out, quickly loaded, and placed on both sides of the ship, and as for bows and arrows, they did not use many bows and arrows on board, only a few crew members who were particularly fond of this kind of weapon, and carried some of them, and most of their weapons were basically firearms.

The guns were reloaded, and all of them, including the stalkers, were draped in whale skin armor and ready for engagement.

The sails of the three boats were all quickly raised, and the helmsman, under the command of the captain, followed the handsome boat where Luo Xianbin sat down, immediately turned the rudder, adjusted the ship to a tailwind state, and they temporarily gave up continuing to go north, but turned to the southeast, and began to accelerate to prepare to break through the siege.

And everything that the three boats did also fell into the eyes of Chu Cailao's subordinates on the boats who surrounded them at this time, these guys were really enemies at this time, and they shouted frantically, and they struggled to speed up and surrounded the three boats.

Although the speed of the big boats and fishing boats is limited, they seized the opportunity and blocked the way for Luo Xianbin's fleet to break through from several directions, and the most worrying thing is the fast oars, these narrow sampans, under the impetus of the pirates on the boat's operating oars, are very fast in a short distance, and they are all like flying on the water, rushing towards the three boats of the sea wolf like arrows on the water.

If you look down from the sky, you can see dozens of large and small ships, centered on three elegantly shaped ships, drawing white waves one after another, like a beautiful flower, but this flower contains the beauty of blood and cruelty.

Luo Xianbin stood tall on the low stern of the boat, pursed his lips tightly, looked at these Chu Cailao's subordinates and their ships who were gathered around in all directions, his heart tightened for a while, and there were several large ships of all kinds on the road ahead, trying to intercept their way, making it clear that he wanted to completely block them here, and not leave them a way out.

The paddle boats rushed towards them like a pack of wolves, and soon approached the vicinity of their three boats.
