Chapter 0168 Critical

Everyone quickly turned their eyes to the sea at the stern of the ship, and the two pirate ships were indeed closer at this time, and they could already see the general shape of the pirate ship more clearly.

The two pirate ships are also wooden cypress ships, and it seems that the shape is indeed close to the shape of the winter ship, but the volume is relatively small, and the speed of the ship is not very fast, but it is slightly faster than the ship that Li Moyi is on, but this speed advantage is not much, which is enough for the pirate ship to catch up with them before dark.

Everyone on the boat was also a little more nervous at this time, and began to concentrate towards the stern, and one by one they found the guy who took advantage of them and held them in their hands, and Li Moyi's heart was also a little hanging.

Although the pirate ship is still approaching, the pirate's pursuit of a merchant ship on the sea is not as simple as Li Moyi imagined before, both sides are wooden sailing ships, even if the pirate ship has a light load and a certain advantage in speed, but if you want to catch up with Li Moyi's ship quickly, it is not something that can be done in a while.

………

There was another period of chasing and escaping, and in the blink of an eye, more than an hour had passed.

It was past noon, but the pirate ship had not been able to catch up with the ship where Li Moyi was.

The ship's owners and boatmen obviously had some experience in dealing with such things, and in order to increase their speed, they constantly changed the sailing angle on the sea, adjusting the sails on the ship, so that the sails could be as fast as possible, so although the pirate ships kept closing the distance, they were never able to catch up with them.

This situation made Li Moyi understand why the Wang family could work at sea for so long, and they were not bankrupt by pirates, it turned out that they still had a way to meet pirates at sea, and they really could only be a lamb to be slaughtered and let the pirates plunder.

And things are not as simple as he thought, if a merchant ship encounters pirates, they will definitely be robbed, but if the pirates want to successfully intercept a ship, it is not easy, it takes a lot of energy and time, and the success rate is not too high.

If they can really delay until the evening, then this pirate robbery operation can only be declared a failure, and it is estimated that many times the people who trade on the sea use this method to escape the interception of the pirates and resolve this crisis.

Seeing that the pirate ship was getting closer and closer, at this time, the owner of the Wang ship remembered Li Moyi again, stretched out his hand to greet Li Moyi and said, "Dumb come here!!"

Li Moyi hurriedly nodded and pretended to be stupid, and ran to him to wait for his orders.

The shipowner, surnamed Wang, pointed to two long poles placed on the side of the ship, as well as a rusty broken knife and a rattan plaque, and commanded him: "Dumb, you are tall and long-armed, and your strength is great enough, if the pirates catch up with us and want to get on our ship, you will use this long pole to reach out against the pirate's ship, and push the thief ship open, so as to prevent the pirates from coming to the ship and jumping onto our ship........."

“……… If they jump over, you can take this for me to them, as long as you do it well, after today, I will not treat you badly, and I will definitely give you good wine and meat to eat!! Do you understand? ”

"Otherwise, we'll be done together, and you won't be able to get better!! In this world, I pity you and take you in, if you fall into the hands of pirates, you will definitely return to the West on the spot!! Do you want to know Entubao? ”

Li Moyi secretly despised this surnamed Wang in his heart, and now this guy thinks he is his benefactor, in fact, Li Moyi now knows very well what this person's idea is, to put it bluntly, this person still takes a fancy to his body, on this boat of the villain, he wants to pick up such a free labor force as him as a cow and a horse for nothing!!

Now that the situation is dangerous, he began to use these words to trap him, so that he could be cannon fodder for him, and go to his middle school, which is really beautiful!!

But at this time, Li Moyi is a "dumb", this is naturally impossible to say, even if he is not dumb, he does not dare to say such a thing at this time, so he can only take a belly full of slander, and nod his head again and again to show that he understands.

…………

Time seems to freeze in this pursuit.

There was a layer of dark clouds above the sky that covered the sun, so that gradually Li Moyi could no longer continue to judge the specific time, but he roughly knew that it must have passed noon, because his stomach was already rumbling at this time, and the usual noon meal did not land, and his stomach was empty at this time, which made him feel hungry.

However, today it is destined that the people on the whole ship will not be able to eat on time, because at this time, the owner of the king is all focused on the pirate ship behind, where is he in the mood to care about whether the people on the ship are hungry or not.........

The pirate's pursuit continued, and nearly an hour had passed.

Seeing that although the distance between the two parties was getting tighter and tighter, the ship that Li Moyi was on was very slippery, and never let them successfully get closer, one of the pirate ships seemed to gradually lose patience, and finally chose to give up, first lowered half a sail, the speed of the ship slowed down significantly, and then began to gradually adjust the direction, stopped the chase, and gradually disappeared above the sea.

This was undoubtedly like a shot of heart booster for everyone on the Wang family's ship, which made everyone excited again, and some people even began to cheer.

Ship Owner Wang's face also eased slightly, if two pirate ships catch up with them at the same time today, and cooperate with each other to flank them left and right, with their current manpower and strength on the ship, as long as they are caught up, they basically have no power to fight back, because once they fight back, the other party will definitely not be polite to them again, and after seizing the ship, they will definitely exterminate the people on their ship.

So if they are caught up by two pirate ships at the same time, the only thing they can do is not to resist, but to drop the sails and stop the ship, and honestly let the pirates board the ship to rob and rob, if the pirates are rules, then under normal circumstances, they do not want to make money, and they will not easily cut off the people on the ship, but the goods on this ship naturally don't need to think about it.

Therefore, although the owner of the king ship did not want to die, he also did not want to lose the cargo of the ship, because the value of the ship, once lost, even if the surname Wang did not go bankrupt, at least it would not be able to turn over for a long time.

And at this time, when a pirate ship gave up the pursuit, the situation at sea changed.

The strength of the pirates is reduced by half, so the number of pirates on the remaining pirate ship is not very large, even if this pirate ship catches up, they may be able to fight together, if they are lucky enough, they are very likely to repel this pirate ship, so that they are no longer as afraid as they were just now.

As a result, when the people on the ship saw this scene, their confidence began to recover somewhat, and their morale seemed to be lifted a little.

But then the people on the boat saw that the pirates on the remaining pirate ship seemed to be much more patient, although the Wang family's ship continued to change direction at sea to avoid, but they always persevered in chasing behind, and what was even more frustrating was that at this time, the wind on the sea actually began to weaken, and the waves gradually began to get smaller, which is not a good sign.

And after all, the pirate's ship is going to come out faster, and the distance between the two sides has gradually been narrowed a lot in the next period of pursuit, and more importantly, the pirates on this pirate ship seem to be very determined this time, and they will never give up until they reach their goal, and they began to pull the distance between the two sides closer, and there is no momentum to give up.

"Fuck it, owner!! This ship of pirates is going to eat us today, and it won't be long before they catch up!! At the current speed of the ship, it will definitely be too late to get rid of them before dark, and if we are caught up like this, we may not be good if they do it......... Otherwise, let's find a shore to dock quickly!! The ancient wolf rolled up his sleeves and looked at the approaching pirate ship behind him, and said to the owner of the ship surnamed Wang with a blue face.

As the ship's escort invited by the Wang family, the ancient wolf is responsible for the safety of the ship.

According to the rules of sailing on the sea, if there is a disparity in power between the two sides when the ship goes out to sea and encounters pirates, they can give up resistance according to the opinion of the shipowner, which not only saves their lives, but also saves the lives of others on board, so even if the ship's goods are robbed, they will not be held accountable by the owner afterwards.

But today's situation, after a pirate ship gives up chasing them, only one pirate ship is left but still refuses to give up, so this situation is obviously not a disparity in power, so once they are caught up by pirates, then the hired ship guards like the ancient wolf must shoulder the responsibility of preventing the pirates from boarding the ship, otherwise, even if they give up resistance and finally save their lives, but the cargo is robbed, and after they go back, their reputation will not only stink, but also be recovered by the shipowner, in that case, Even if they were bankrupt, they would not be able to afford to pay the shipowner's goods and ships, and if the news spread, they would not want to continue to eat this bowl of rice in the future.

On the other hand, if they are killed or injured in a fight with a pirate, the owner must also provide a sum of money for their bereavement.

So after thinking about it, the ancient wolf put forward his opinion to the king shipowner, he said this in fact, in order to be safe, once the pirates caught up with them for a while, it is best to repel the pirates, but once they can't defeat the pirates, then there is no way out, when the pirates seize the ship, they are close to the sea, they can immediately abandon the ship and flee, although they lose the cargo, but at least they can save the lives of a boatload of people, this is not only for their own consideration, but also for the sake of the shipowner and the boatmen on the ship.

The shipowner surnamed Wang also had a very bad face at this time, and he could see that he might not be able to hide today, and the remaining pirate ship was clearly determined to eat them, and if he escaped like this, he would definitely be caught up before dark.

After listening to the words of the ancient wolf, the shipowner surnamed Wang thought for a while, nodded and sighed with a blue face: "What you said makes sense, if it goes on like this, it seems that you can't get rid of them......... They're faster than us, it's still early before dark, and it's unlikely to drag it out until dark, and it's okay if they talk about the rules, but if they don't follow the rules, then we'll be all done........."

“……… That's it! According to what you said, lean to the shore, if you really can't do it, it is better to abandon the boat and go ashore than to be beheaded by them!! ”

As soon as the voice of the shipowner surnamed Wang fell, the people on board immediately became busy again, and the ship turned around again and began to sail in the direction of the shore, but did their decision still have any effect at this time?

Li Mo lay on the side of the ship, looking at the pirate ship at the stern of the ship, and secretly pondered.

…………

…………

Obviously, Shipowner Wang's decision was a little late, Li Mo lay on the side of the ship, and saw that the pirate ship was only the last mile away from them, and he could almost see the faces on the ship.

From a distance, you can see that the pirate ship is crowded with black people, the pirate ship is not big, but there must be at least twenty or thirty people on the ship, and the number of pirates on this ship has exceeded the number of people on their ship by about double, and each of the pirates seems to be holding a variety of guarding weapons in their hands, and it is obvious that the other party's combat effectiveness is far more than their ship a lot.

Li Mo looked away from afar, observing the pirates.

But after seeing the clothes of these pirates, Li Moyi had a feeling of ridicule, these pirates obviously don't know what to wear, and they don't have the consciousness of uniform clothing, some people are wearing ordinary rags, some people are wearing long cloths, very cool, and a few pirates actually have clothes that look like women, dressed up with flowers, like singing horns, it's really funny, in short, their clothes are obviously what they wear, as for whether they look good or not, It's not their concern at all.

Seeing that the two ships were getting closer and closer, the pirates were also in high spirits, and one by one they lay on the side of the ship, waving the various weapons in their hands, and at the same time screaming from a distance on the pirate ship, which was quite terrifying, as if they had eaten the ship.

As Wang Dongjia's ship turned, the pirate ship was originally behind the left side of Wang Dongjia's ship, and at the same time, it began to quickly turn its sails and rudder.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, they cut into the left side of their ship, so that in a short period of time, the distance between them and the ship where Li Moyi was shortened, plus the pirate ship was originally faster, and in a short time, the pirate ship approached the distance of about half a mile away from Wang Dong's ship, and the pirates' shouts and threats could be clearly transmitted to their ship at this time.

"You can hear me!! Hurry up and stop the ship, Lao Tzu wants money but not life, as long as the goods do not cut people, you can't escape, or obediently stop the ship, if you wait for a toast and don't eat and drink, and then dare not listen, be careful for a while The uncles will catch up with you, and you will definitely be cut to the bottom......" The pirate with a loud voice pulled his gong-like voice and began to yell at the royal ship.

At this moment, the people on Wang Dong's boat were a little panicked, and they were still quite far away from the coast at this time.

Today, you will definitely not be able to run away, but once the sails are dropped and the ship is stopped, then the fate will be completely in the hands of these pirates, the owner of the ship surnamed Wang feels the goods on his ship, after a little thought, he put his heart sideways, gritted his teeth, stood at the stern of the ship and put his hands to his mouth, and shouted at the pirate ship that caught up: "I don't know what kind of heroes are passing through here, I don't know that the heroes are doing things here, and they failed to make a point in advance, there are many inconsiderates, I hope to forgive me!!"

“……… To tell the truth, we are a small business, making a living is not easy, today I bothered you, I prepared twenty taels of silver under it, and invited you heroes to drink a glass of water and wine, and I hope that the heroes will raise their noble hands and put them on the next journey. ”

Li Mo listened to the voice of the owner of the ship surnamed Wang, and his heart was both angry and funny, and secretly said that it was possible to discuss when he met pirates at sea, but he suddenly realized that it was ancient to pay money to buy passers-by.

However, the answer of the pirates who chased after him completely disappointed Wang Shipowner, and he only heard one of the pirates shouting loudly: "Today, Lao Tzu has been chasing you with his brothers for most of the day, and you sent Lao Tzu away for twenty taels of silver.

“…… Don't talk nonsense, wait for the sails to stop the boat, Lao Tzu is in a good mood today, if you don't kill you, Lao Tzu only needs your ship and goods, and leave your little life......... If you don't stop the boat, then you won't blame Lao Tzu for being unkind to you, and after a while, you will definitely be beheaded!! ”

The pirate's answer was tantamount to announcing the breakdown of the negotiations, and the pirates made it clear that they were all up to the ship and the cargo.

The previous condition proposed by the king ship owner to buy a road with twenty taels of silver seems to be unable to satisfy their appetite at all, and then for the king ship owner, there are only two ways to choose, one is to follow the requirements of the pirates, drop the sails and stop the ship, let them take the ship with the goods, and then consider themselves unlucky, leaving a small life to be put on the nearest shore by the pirates to go home.

Once lucky, after the fight, they can overturn a few opponents, deter the pirates, and make them retreat and give up automatically, then this is equivalent to winning this game today, they can take the ship with the goods and leave, without losing the ship's goods.........

But the other consequence of this is that if they do so and fail to stop the pirates, the pirates will force their way onto the ship and kill everyone on board.

After hearing the pirate's answer, the whole ship immediately turned their attention to the owner of the king, and now whether to fight or surrender depends on the opinion of the owner of the king.

To be honest, the people on the ship don't want to do it in their hearts, this ship and this cargo are not theirs, only their lives are their own, if they surrender to the pirates, the loss is the shipowner's, and it has nothing to do with them.

But once the king shipowner decides to do it, then it is difficult to fight the pirates, but it is difficult to protect the sword without eyes, lose his life, and if he wins, it is better to say, once he loses, everyone will be finished!!

Therefore, the boatmen on the ship are very willing to give a soft order from the shipowner at this time, stop the ship and surrender to destroy the fortune and eliminate the disaster.

After listening to the pirate's answer, the ship's face became much more ugly, gritted his teeth and hesitated, his eyes rolled wildly, his expression was very painful, and after he carefully looked at the pirate ship that had caught up, he finally gritted his teeth suddenly, and his face became a little hideous, as if he had made up his mind.

He turned his head and stretched out his hand to pull out a single knife, clenched it tightly in his hand, and scolded the pirate with a blue face: "Phew!! Giving a face a shameless thing is simply too deceitful!! Lao Tzu is not a soft man in the mud, you bandits can do whatever you want?

"Brothers, we don't believe in this evil today!! Leave them alone, let's keep going, we have cannons and guns on our ships, can we still be afraid of them, bandits and pirates? If they dare to come up, they will bombard them fiercely, ancient wolf, set up the cannon, and if they dare to come up in a while, they will bombard his grandfather for me!! ”

"Wang Mou treats you on weekdays, today is the time to use you, as long as I can rush over today, my Wang will not treat you badly, fifty taels of silver Wang is here, after the matter is completed, everyone will share it together, it is better than cheaper than this gang of Wang Baqiu!!"

After hearing this, the people on the ship all looked very bad, and what they expected was still disappointed, and the king's shopkeeper seemed to be the king at this time, and he was determined to keep the ship and the goods, and he wanted to force them to fight with the pirates, although they were reluctant, but there was no way, who let them be employed by the king's shopkeeper, and everything had to be obeyed by others' orders?

But fortunately, this surnamed Wang is still interesting, and he hung out a reward of fifty taels of silver in advance, indicating that once he can rush over today, the fifty taels of silver for the white flowers will be divided among the people on the ship, so that with the one or two taels of silver per person he promised at the beginning, after the big guys are done, they can also have different amounts of silver to take, which can be regarded as somewhat mobilizing their morale.

There are often brave men under the big rewards, and after hearing this, the ancient wolf immediately gritted his teeth and agreed, and hurriedly beckoned a few of his subordinates, vigorously moving the bowl mouth at the stern of the door, adjusting the mouth, and always aiming at the pirate ship that was gradually chasing over.

Li Mo scolded again in his heart, this Wang shipowner is a person who runs the sea, and he regards this ship as more important than his life, and he must not be willing to give up the ship that made his fortune, and today it is clear that he is going to give it a go.

For Li Moyi, this is not a good thing, he is just an unintentional passer-by, who is desperate for the shipowner surnamed Wang, but the current situation is that he has no choice but to do it, and he has to do it, and he has to do it if he doesn't do it.

Wang Shipowner refused to surrender, he had no way at all, this is really unlucky for him to put it on the table, today it is estimated that for his own life, he will also fight!!

When he saw the ancient wolf and they began to fiddle with the bowl at the stern of the door, Li Mo suddenly began to lower his body consciously, and moved towards the middle of the boat, trying to stay away from the bowl mouth, God knows if this thing fired, will it be blown up on the spot, he is still young now, but he doesn't want to sacrifice for this king shipowner who is not very good, so it is better to stay away and be safe.

Just when the big guys were paying attention to the pirate ship behind, Wang Lao Wu, who had taken care of Li Moyi before, walked to Li Moyi's side at some point and quietly pulled Li Moyi by the hand.

…………

…………

"Dumb, can you swim?"

Taking advantage of the fact that everyone else's attention was on the empty plane on the pirate ship, Wang Lao Wu quietly pulled Li Moyi aside and asked Li Moyi in a low voice.

Li Moyi nodded hurriedly.

"I'm afraid it's going to be bad today, these pirates are different from ordinary pirates, listening to their tone and their outfits, they must all be outlaws, and they must be very ruthless, and when I meet them today, I'm afraid it will not be easy to pass this hurdle........."

“……… I don't have time to talk to you at this time, you have to remember not to be stupid and follow the ancient wolves and them to the death!! Swords and guns don't have long eyes, and no one is sorry for you if you die, we are not a ship escort, under normal circumstances, as long as we don't fight hard, even if the pirates attack, we won't easily kill people. ”

"You follow me for a while, if you see that the situation is not good, and the pirates come and want to kill people, you will follow me to jump into the sea and swim to escape, and if you are lucky, you can still save a small life!!" Wang Lao Wu whispered to him again.

As the oldest person on the ship, Li Moyi believed in Wang Laowu's vision, since he said so, and even prepared to jump into the sea to escape, then it would be really troublesome to get this thing done today.

But Li Moyi still didn't dare to agree with the matter of diving to escape, right 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 be wiped out, even if they jump into the water, they can't swim the speed of the boat, and the pirates can completely chase them down by boat, and at that time, they will have no power to fight back when they are in the water, so Li Moyi didn't want to take the road of jumping into the sea to escape.

Now, Li Moyi began to calm down a little, if he really wanted to die, Li Moyi naturally didn't want to be slaughtered like a dog, and with his current skills, it was not necessarily for nothing.

But he is still very grateful to Wang Lao Wu, seeing that the pirates have come to the front, almost to the front line of survival, Wang Lao Wu 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 Wang Lao Wu do more work, Wang Lao Wu can still think of him at such a time, which makes Li Moyi can be said to be grateful to Wang Lao Wu.

So he nodded, shook his fist at Wang Lao Wu, patted himself again, and pointed at Wang Lao Wu, saying that let Wang Lao Wu rest assured, he would protect Wang Lao Wu for a while.

Wang Lao Wu roughly understood what he meant, a hint of relief appeared in his eyes, he shook his head slightly, patted Li Mo's sturdy arm and whispered: "I understand what you mean, dumb, you have a good heart, I didn't see the wrong person, remember my words, if you don't make it to jump and escape, don't fight for your life!!"

While speaking, the pirate ship chased to a distance of about ten zhang from the Wang family's ship, the pirates' insulting and shouting has become deaf, and even their faces can be seen clearly, and even the sword in the other party's hand can be seen with cold light, Li Moyi also saw that there was actually someone on the pirate ship with an arquebus, and the arquebus had been lit, only to see the fire in the hand of a person flashed, and immediately rose up a cloud of smoke, and a fire flew to the Wang family's ship and hit the sail, A small hole was made in the sail.

Frightened, the boatmen on this side of the ship all involuntarily shrank their heads, at this time standing at the stern of the ship Wang Shipowner could no longer hold his breath, and roared at the ancient wolf, the ancient wolf was standing next to the bowl mouth gun at this time, after hearing the roar of the Wang Shipowner, when even a lit torch in his hand, heavy pestle on the tail fire door of the bowl.

As soon as he saw that the ancient wolf was about to fire, Li Mo quickly hid behind the mast as soon as he realized it, for fear that the bowl would explode on the spot.

"Boom!!"

A loud bang was heard at the stern, followed by a large cloud of smoke rising from the stern, and the bowl with its clumsy wooden frame jumped violently, and then was shaken backwards a few feet, and almost toppled over the plank.

Li Mo was startled by this roar, and after penetrating to see that the door bowl was still in good condition, it was not blown up on the spot as he feared, he was somewhat relieved, although this thing was shabby, 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 quite acceptable.

The smoke from 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 gunsmoke, and once again the pirate ship chasing after the stern appeared.

The flight range of the bowl mouth gun is really very limited, and the distance of ten zhang is really a bit too far for this thing, not to mention that the cannon chamber is still filled with some broken iron nails, iron sand, stones, and porcelain pieces, and it can't hit far, so 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 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.

Li Moyi secretly screamed in his heart that it was a pity, if the pirates were allowed to fire closer, it was estimated that the battle injury 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 it might be possible to scare off the pirates!!

He secretly scolded the king shipowner and the ancient wolf in his heart, their courage was still too small, and the cannon was too early, this time it was good, with the speed at which they loaded, they didn't know if it would be too late to come another shot.........

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 Li Moyi was that he found that the armed level of the pirate ship was not as high as that of the Wang family's ship, and the pirate ship did not even have a broken cannon, just some light firearms such as guns and arquebuses, otherwise they would be more dangerous at this time, and Li Moyi didn't know whether to be happy or not.

When the king shipowner and the ancient wolf saw that they had not been able to injure a few pirates with a single shot just now, they both felt disappointed and a little disgraced, so under the scolding of the king shipowner, the ancient wolf 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 were close to a distance of about fifty meters, and several pirates began to hold single-barreled firecrackers or ordinary firearms, and banged at the Wang's merchant ship, which frightened the boatmen on the Wang's ship one by one, and they all lay down under the side of the ship to avoid the fire.

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 after that, several pirates took bows and arrows, and flew 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 whizzed down on the king's ship, and the target was not the people on the ship, but they flew towards the sails.

Two rockets hit the mainsail and hung on the sails, and the flames were lined with bamboo strips, and soon a fire was about to ignite, and the king was so anxious that he jumped to his feet, shouting and ordering the boatmen to hurry up and extinguish the fire.

It was then that the boatmen began to act, and in a panic they snatched buckets of water, poured or sprayed 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 by a careless worker, and flew on his back impartially, only to hear the boatman scream, covering the arrow wound on his back, and crying father and mother fell on the board, so frightened that the boatmen were in a big mess, and they walked left and right to avoid it.

At this time, no one had time to take care of the injured man, so everyone on the boat was panicked to avoid the arrows, and there was no time to take care of the other left and right, only Li Moyi secretly had a free time, and hurriedly rushed up and dragged the injured man to the side of the boat, so as not to let him suffer a few more arrows.

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 flew their bows and arrows towards this side of the ship, and the fire guns that had stopped for a while rang out again, and clouds of white smoke rose up on the pirate ship.

Arrows and firecrackers fell on this boat from time to time, and Li Mo felt that his whole body was straightened, and it could be said that he was fully prepared for battle.

Although the pirate's bow and arrow and firearm are limited, there is still a certain threat, and once he is hit, he will definitely not be able to stand it, so he hurriedly picked up a simple shield on the ground, blocked his body, and observed the situation on the two ships nervously.

At this time, the ancient wolf also took his men to escort, began to light the arquebus, picked up the prepared arquebus, 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 fly and kill the pirates who were getting closer and closer.

The ancient wolf and a few of them were busy, as if they had filled the bowl mouth gun with ammunition again, and shouted loudly for Li Moyi to help, although Li Moyi was very displeased with them, but this was not the time when he was not concerned about himself, but now it was also a matter of his own survival, he still took advantage of the cover of the shield, rushed to the stern, and helped a few people to lift the bowl mouth gun to the side of the ship again, and the muzzle of the gun pointed at the pirate ship.

Seeing that the pirate ship was already very close to them, the ancient wolf smiled evilly, grabbed the torch of one of his men next to him, and pressed it towards the fire door on the bowl mouth.

Li Mo immediately stirred up, and ran away.

I was afraid that this guy would blow up on the spot, so I even piggybacked 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 quickly turned around to look, only to see Gu Wolf and the others with a depressed and anxious look on their faces, circling around the mouth of the bowl.

It turned out that they might have had a problem with the filling just now because of the panic, but this time the bowl didn't go off, and the angry king shipowner jumped to their feet and scolded them, and the ancient wolf hurriedly took the vial of medicine filled with primer to add medicine to the fire door, and once again pressed the torch on the fire door.

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 Wang Chuandong jumped to his feet angrily and scolded, but he didn't have anything to do.

Li Mo was also angry at this time, and wanted to go up and kick the ancient wolf into the sea to pull him down, and when it was critical, something went wrong, it must have been 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.

Wang Chuandong scolded while waving a single knife that he had caught in his hand from somewhere, and ordered Gu Wolf and the others to hurry up and find a way.

The ancient wolf didn't have time to deal with this broken cannon anymore, so he immediately beckoned a few of his men to grab the prepared firebolts, set 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, the ancient wolf picked up a bow, mounted an arrow, and began to fight back at the pirates with arrows.

Even the king shipowner was so anxious that he was helpless at this time, he personally grabbed a bow, grabbed an arrow and flew towards the pirate ship, this is to protect his own ship, it is strange that he does not play with his life at this time, fortunately, this person is not a timid person in trouble, at least he has the determination to fight for his life, 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 the king saw Li Moyi who was doing nothing on the boat, and rushed to Li Moyi's side with a few arrows, and asked loudly: "Dumb, can you make bows and arrows?"

Bows and arrows are naturally not unfamiliar to Li Moyi, and he has not only seen this thing, but not long ago he also commanded thousands of soldiers to attack the city with bows and arrows, but at that time he was a leading general, where had he ever come into contact with such a guy with his own hands!! So he hurriedly waved his hand and said no.

But the owner of the king was really anxious, and he couldn't care about it so much at the moment, so he stretched out his hand and stuffed Li Moyi with a bow, grabbed a few arrows and threw them to Li Moyi, these arrows were also rockets tied with oilcloth, and shouted loudly: "Don't worry, you have a lot of strength, just pull the sails of the pirates and fly!" I don't expect you to fly and injure a few pirates, as long as you can light their sails, they won't be able to catch up, quick, someone will help light the fire for him!! ”

Li Mo hurriedly took the bow and arrow, where would he know this, this bow and arrow is also a somewhat technical object, although he has seen a lot, but the bow and arrow is counted, it is really the first time he has touched it.

But now he has no way out, since he has this thing in his hand, he always has to try, so he hurriedly grabbed an arrow, and someone hurriedly ran to light the arrow in his hand with a fire fold, and shouted at him: "Dumb, fly hard, fly away from those eight beggers!" ”

Li Mo fought a little with one or two arms, this bow is not heavy, but the bowstring is a little strangled, the bow was easily pulled into a full moon by him, he roughly aimed at it, and flew the arrow out as soon as he let go, but the result disappointed him greatly, he didn't know how to fly the arrow at all, this rocket pulled out a cloud of smoke in the air, flew over the pirate ship with a swish, fell into the sea water, and extinguished it in the sea with a hiss.

"Stupid beg, stupid!! You're aiming for flying!! The boatman who lit the fire for him scolded Li Mo angrily at this time.

Li Mo was not polite at this time, his eyes widened, and he glared at this person angrily, this guy then remembered that Li Mo was brute force, not the master he could provoke, so he shrank his neck in fright, and said: "Don't be annoyed, don't be annoyed, come a few more times!!"

Li Moyi thought back to the feeling when he fired the arrow just now, summarized the mistakes, and once again took a rocket that had been ignited handed over by the man and put it on the bowstring, and pulled the bowstring with a squeak.

"Whoosh-"

With the sound of breaking through the sky, this time the arrow seemed to be much better, and finally headed straight for the pirate ship, but the landing point was still not good, and the rocket that rowed through the air did not fly to the sail, but nailed to the side of the pirate ship.

Li Mo was a little deflated, he was not a genius in archery, he was not proficient in this thing by getting started, flying arrows required a long time of training, it was obvious that he was on the field, and it was impossible for him to have any good results.

As a result, only one of the next few arrows flew into the sails of the pirate ship, but the effect was not ideal, and the rocket failed to ignite the sails of the pirate ship, and was quickly extinguished by the pirates in the same way.
