"Dumb! Can you swim? Taking advantage of the fact that other people's attention was on the pirate ship, Liu Laoliu quietly pulled Yu Xiaotian aside and asked Xiaotian in a low voice.

Yu Xiaotian nodded hurriedly.

"I'm afraid it's going to be bad today, the sea harrier is different from ordinary pirates, he and several of his leaders are said to be mostly Jiangyang thieves, each of them are outlaws, notoriously ruthless, I am afraid it will not be easy to pass this hurdle when I meet them today!

I don't have time to talk to you at this time, you have to remember not to be stupid and follow Ma Biao and them to the death! Swords and guns don't have long eyes, and no one will pity you if you die! We are not a ship escort, and under normal circumstances, as long as we don't fight hard, even if the pirates attack us, we won't easily kill people!

After a while, you follow me, if you see that the situation is not good, and the pirates come and want to kill, you will follow me by jumping into the sea and swimming to escape! If you're lucky, you'll be able to save your life! Liu Lao Liu whispered to him again.

As the oldest person on the ship, Yu Xiaotian believes in Liu Laoliu's vision, since he said so, and even prepared to jump into the sea to escape, then it will be really troublesome to get this thing out of now, but for the matter of diving and escaping, Yu Xiaotian still doesn't dare to agree, now they are still far from the shore, and the wind and waves on the sea are not very small at this time, even if they jump into the sea, they may not have the opportunity to swim to the shore!

Besides, once the pirates really want to kill them all, even if they jump into the water, they can't swim the speed of the boat, and the pirates can completely chase them by boat, and at that time, they are all in the water, and they will have no power to fight back, so in Yu Xiaotian's heart, he doesn't want to take the road of jumping into the sea to escape.

Now, Yu Xiaotian began to calm down a little, if he really wants to die, Yu Xiaotian really doesn't want to be slaughtered like a chicken and a dog, with his character, since he is going to die anyway, even if he dies, how can he pull one or two pads, the province is lonely on the way to the underworld, and when he encounters this kind of thing, killing one is enough, killing two to earn one, with his skills, it is not necessarily for nothing.

But he is still very grateful to Liu Lao Liu, seeing that the pirates have come to the front, almost to the line of life and death, Liu Lao Liu is still thinking about him, a stranger who has nothing to do with it, just because in the past two or three days, he has helped Liu Lao Liu do more work, Liu Lao Liu can still think of him at such a time, which makes Yu Xiaotian grateful to Liu Lao Liu.

So he nodded, shook his fist at Liu Laoliu, patted his chest again, and pointed at Liu Laoliu, saying that he would rest assured that he would protect Liu Laoliu for a while.

Liu Lao Liu roughly understood what he meant, his eyes showed a hint of relief, he shook his head slightly, patted Yu Xiaotian's strong arm again, and whispered, "I understand what you mean!" Mute! You've got a good eye! I didn't see anyone wrong! Remember my words, don't make it a dive to escape! Don't fight to the death! ”

As he spoke, the pirate ship chased it to a distance of sixty or seventy meters from the Liu family's ship, and the pirates' insulting and roaring voices were already audible, and even their faces could be seen clearly, and even the swords and guns flashing with cold light in the other party's hands could be seen, Yu Xiaotian also saw that there were people on the pirate ship who were holding arquebuses, and the fire rope had been lit, only to see the fire in the mouth of a person's hand flashing, and immediately a cloud of smoke rose up, and a gun flew to the Liu family's ship and hit the sail. A small hole was made in the sail.

Frightened, the boatmen on the boat on this side involuntarily shrank their heads, at this time Liu Chuandong, who was standing at the stern of the boat, could no longer hold his breath at this time, and roared at Ma Biao, Ma Biao was standing next to the door of the bowl, and after hearing Liu Chuandong's roar, he put a lit torch in his hand and slammed it heavily on the tail fire door of the bowl.

As soon as he saw Ma Biao about to fire the cannon, Yu Xiaotian subconsciously hid behind the mast, for fear that the bowl mouth gun would explode on the spot, but he only heard a loud "boom" sound from the stern, and then a large area of smoke rose from the stern.

Yu Xiaotian was startled by this roar, and after penetrating to see that the bowl was still in good condition, it was not blown up on the spot as he was worried, and he was somewhat relieved, although this thing was crude and unbearable, it seemed that it was not as useless as he imagined, at least after firing, the barrel remained intact, indicating that the quality of the casting was so-so.

The thick smoke of the cannon suddenly enveloped the stern of the ship, and the air was suddenly filled with a strong smell of gunsmoke, which also blocked everyone's sight, so that the people on the ship could not see the situation on the pirate ship behind clearly, but fortunately it was on the sea, and there was enough sea breeze on the sea, which soon blew away the smoke and once again revealed the pirate ship chasing after the stern.

The range of the bowl mouth gun is really very limited, the distance of sixty or seventy meters is really a bit too far for this thing, not to mention that the gun chamber is still filled with some broken iron nails, iron sand, stones, and porcelain pieces, and it can't hit far, at such a distance, even if it flies to the pirate ship, the power is definitely not much better!

Sure enough, when the smoke cleared, everyone saw that the pirate ship was still intact, but the pirates were obviously also startled, and they all lay on the ship, and now one by one they had begun to stand up, and no one was killed or injured.

Yu Xiaotian secretly screamed in his heart that it was a pity, if the pirates were allowed to fire closer, it was estimated that the killing effect of the aiming point would be much better, and if he was lucky, it was estimated that he would be able to let go of several pirates and scare off the pirates!

He secretly scolded Liu Chuandong and Ma Biao in his heart for being stupid, their courage was still too small, and the cannon was too early, this time it was good, with their loading speed, if they wanted to do another shot, they didn't know if it was too late!

However, after this cannon was fired, the pirates on the pirate ship were probably also taken aback, and they seemed to be a little chaotic, as if they were discussing whether to continue the pursuit.

In a few moments, there was a burst of screams and angry shouts from the pirate ship, and they began to continue to wave their weapons and chase after the ship, but it was clear that this cannon did not have the effect of deterring the pirates, and the outlaws pursued them despite the fact that they did not hesitate.

What surprised Yu Xiaotian was that he found that the armed level of the pirate ship was not as high as that of the Liu family's ship, and the pirate ship did not even have a broken cannon, but only some light firearms such as guns and arquebuses, otherwise they would be more dangerous at this time, and Yu Xiaotian didn't know whether he should be happy or not.

Liu Chuandong and Ma Biao felt both disappointed and a little disgraced when they saw that they couldn't kill a few pirates with one shot just now, so under Liu Chuandong's scolding, Ma Biao and a few other escorts hurriedly surrounded the bowl and got busy again, and filled the bowl at the stern of the ship again.

At this time, the pirates had already chased closer, and after a while, they chased to a distance of about fifty meters, and several pirates began to hold single-barreled firearms or three-eyed guns and bird guns, and banged at the Liu family's merchant ship, which frightened the boatmen on the Liu family's ship one by one, and they all lay down under the side of the ship to avoid bombs.

Fortunately, the pirates were not on the right track, and after a round of fire, they only hit the hull and sails, but they could not hurt the people on this side, so they temporarily ceased fire and began to reload again.

Immediately afterwards, a few pirates took bows and arrows and shot desperately towards the ship here, and sure enough, someone used a rocket with an oilcloth tied to the arrow and ignited, and in an instant, these arrows fell on the Liu family's ship with a whizz, and the target was not the person on the ship, but they rushed to the sails.

Two rockets hit the mainsail and hung on the sail, the flames licked the sail made of bamboo strips, and soon the fire was about to ignite.

It was then that the boatmen began to act, and in a panic they snatched the pumps and buckets, and poured or sprayed the seawater, extinguishing the rockets that fell on the sails, and the other rockets that fell on the deck were quickly trampled on, so that the fire was not ignited.

It was at this time that an arrow flew from the pirate ship and stuck it in his waist and eye impartially, only to hear the boatman scream, covering the arrow wound on his waist, and crying for his father and mother fell on the board, which frightened the boatmen into a big mess and ran away.

At this time, no one had time to take care of the wounded, everyone was panicked to dodge the arrows, only Yu Xiaotian couldn't see it, and hurriedly rushed up and dragged the wounded man to the side of the boat, so as not to let him suffer from stray arrows again.

The scene on both ships was chaotic at this time, and the pirates fired again in order to interfere with the boatmen on this side of the ship, and while speeding up the pursuit, they desperately bowed and arrowed at this side of the ship, and the fire that had stopped for a while rang out again, and clouds of white smoke rose up on the pirate ship.

Arrows and shells fell on this side of the ship from time to time, Yu Xiaotian felt that adrenaline began to secrete a lot, and the muscles of the whole body were tensed, although the pirate's bow and arrow and fire gun were limited, but there was still a certain threat, once he was hit, even if he was strong enough, he would definitely not be able to stand it, so he hurriedly picked up a simple shield on the ground, covering his body, and his eyes nervously observed the situation on the two ships.

And Ma Biao also took his guards at this time, began to light the fire rope, picked up the bird gun that was ready, aimed at the pirate ship and began to fire, and some people grabbed bows and arrows and began to hurriedly fire arrows at the pirate ship, trying to shoot the pirates who were getting closer and closer.

Ma Biao and a few of them were busy, as if they had filled the bowl mouth gun with ammunition, and shouted loudly for Yu Xiaotian to help, although Yu Xiaotian was very unhappy with them, but this was not the time when he had nothing to do with himself, but now it was also about his own life and death, he still took advantage of the cover of the shield to rush to the stern of the ship, and helped a few people lift the bowl mouth gun to the side of the ship again, and the muzzle of the gun was pointed at the pirate ship.

Seeing that the pirate ship was already very close to them, Ma Biao showed a cruel smile on his face, grabbed the torch of one of his subordinates next to him, and pressed it towards the fire door on the bowl mouth.

Yu Xiaotian was excited, and he ran away, for fear that this guy would blow up on the spot, and even brought him in, but when he ran back to the middle of the boat, he didn't hear the sound of the cannon behind him, so he hurriedly turned around to look, but saw Ma Biao and others with a depressed and anxious look on their faces, circling around the door and bowl.

It turned out that they may have had a problem with the filling just now because of the panic, but this time the bowl mouth gun did not sound, and the angry Liu Chuandong jumped to their feet and scolded them, Ma Biao hurriedly took the medicine gourd filled with the primer to add medicine to the fire door, and pressed the torch on the fire door again.

As a result, I saw a puff of white smoke rising from the fire door, but the bowl still didn't sound, and everyone almost collapsed at this time, and Liu Chuandong jumped to his feet angrily and scolded, but there was no help.

Yu Xiaotian was also angry at this time and wanted to go up and kick Ma Biao to death and pull him down, and he dropped the chain at a critical time, it must be that they were in a panic just now, and they couldn't load the gunpowder, so that they couldn't fire, and this time it was a big trouble, in this case, they didn't have time to dig out the ammunition in the gun chamber and reload it.

Liu Chuandong scolded while waving a single knife that he didn't know where to grab in his hand, and ordered Ma Biao and the others to hurry up and find a way.

Ma Biao didn't have time to deal with this broken cannon anymore, so he immediately beckoned a few of his men to grab the fire guns and bird guns that had been prepared, put them on the stern side of the ship, lit the fire rope in his hand, and began to fire at the pirate ship.

Now both sides were lively, and the two sides fought each other with firecrackers in the air, and after the firecrackers were finished, Ma Biao picked up a bow, put on the arrows and began to fight back at the pirates with arrows.

Even Liu Chuandong jumped over the wall in a hurry at this time, grabbed a bow himself, grabbed an arrow and shot it towards the pirate ship, this is to protect his own ship, it is strange that he doesn't play with his life at this time, fortunately, this guy is not a shrunken turtle, at least he has the determination to fight to the death, instead of hiding behind and supervising others to give him his life.

The two boats chased and fled on the sea, and the arrows were fighting together, and the owner of Liu saw Yu Xiaotian who had nothing to do on the boat, and rushed to Yu Xiaotian's side in a few arrows, and asked loudly: "Dumb!" Can you make a bow and arrow? ”
