Chapter 138 Ghost Ship

Two boats with Chu's old Chuzi flag wandered aimlessly outside Zhangzhou Bay. The two boats were relatively close, and the sea was filled with a layer of mist. Those guys on the ship lay on the side of the ship, looking around the sea, looking for their favorite targets, and also discussing with each other about recent special Targeting them with those strange ships.

"Brother, do you think we will meet those ghost ships this time?" A thin man lay on the side of the boat and looked boredly at the sea while asking a man beside him.

The guy who was asked shook his head, turned around and sat on the deck against the side of the boat, and sighed, "I don't know, these ghost boats are always haunted by his mother. No one knows where they will be now!"

Don't expect to meet them, boy. If you meet them, we won't be able to please these two boats! We still hope that it's better not to meet them now, otherwise, I guess it's still us who are unlucky!"

After looking at the sea for a while, the thin guy also sat down against the side of the ship, touched the guy around him who was a little older than him with his elbow, and whispered, "I said, fourth brother, guess what the people on those ghost boats are from? Why do you want to stare at us? There are many merchant ships passing by on the sea. Why don't they pick soft persimmons and find us trouble?

The guy called the fourth brother turned his head and looked around and hummed angrily and whispered, "I can't guess, but I guess we don't know which shopkeeper has offended the hard stubble. Now they are looking for us for revenge!

It should be combined! Damn, our shopkeepers now rely on us to follow Chu Da as the head of the family. There are many people and boats, and they don't care about anyone's face and don't talk about the rules at all! I don't know how many people have been offended. I'm afraid that my colleagues alone have offended no more than ten or eight families. What's strange about someone bothering us?

What's strange is that these ghost boats are so powerful that they come and go without a trace. They come and go like the wind on the sea. I really can't think of anyone who can make such a good boat! If we could get such a boat, it would be great!"

"I said fourth brother, why do you say that? Our shopkeeper Xiao is prepared this time! We have gathered more than a dozen boats and hundreds of men. How can we be afraid of them? If they don't come, how can we keep so many of us?" The thin man said a little unconvincedly.

But the guy called the fourth brother stared at him and cursed in a low voice, "You are really a pig brain!" Even if Manager Xiao has prepared so many boats this time, don't forget that our two boats are also fishing bait! Don't catch a fish, but be swallowed by the fish! It's us who are unlucky! You'd better hope you don't run into those ghost boats! It's almost time to explain our mother's life!"

When the thin man heard this, his face changed, and he even nodded and said yes, and there was no longer the excitement just now.

After wandering on the sea for a while, the two ships under Chu Cai didn't find anything unusual, so the ship's handboat ordered the helmsman to adjust his course and turn to the eastern sea of Kinmen Island, ready to go there for another round.

But they didn't know that at this time, on the eastern sea of Kinmen Island, there were three novel sway boats slowly parallel to the two old boats on the sea. The distance between the two sides was inadvertently approaching, but the layer of mist on the sea was It blocked the sight of both sides.

On a ship led by

, a young man, wearing a cloak, stood on the side of the stern of the ship, took out a copper pipe in front of his right eye from time to time, closed his left eye, and looked at the sea through the copper pipe, which was quite heroic.

This person is not someone else, but Luo Xianbin who first came out of Xiaotian from Xiaohuangdao. Previously, Luo Xianbin was cleaned up by Yu Xiaoqi because of robbing women with Feng De. He and Feng De were obedient. However, relatively speaking, the two of them were also blessed by misfortune and were valued by Yu Xiaotian. Come on.

In the next two years, these two guys have basically been following Yu Xiaotian and being taught by Xiaotian. Naturally, they have learned much more than others. Moreover, with their own efforts, both of them have also learned to take the helm. Starting from the helmsman, they have gradually reached the position of mate.

This time, Yu Xiaotian sent three sloops to form a private fleet. When selecting people, he finally selected Luo Xianbin as the captain of this private fleet. He led the team south to the south of Quanzhou and began a months-long revenge operation against Chu Cai Lao.

So far, their three ships have been out for nearly two months. In these two months, they have gained a lot, knocking down more than a dozen ships under the old Chu Cai who left alone one after another.

Moreover, Luo Xianbin obeyed Xiaotian's instructions and never fell in love with Chu Cai's old men. He only chose Chu Cai's ships alone or two ships, and often left with one blow. If he could grab it, he would grab it. If it was too late, he would set fire to Chu Cai's ships.

With the flexibility and speed of these three sloops, in the past two months, in the sea north of Chaozhou, south of Quanzhou, Chu Cailao and his men have been suffering from phobias like birds, but they have been unable to figure out where their three boats come from.

Under the leadership of Luo Xianbin, the three ships ran east and west to hunt around Chu Cai's men. Today, they may still be active on the sea of Quanzhou. In less than two days, they appeared on the ocean area in Chaozhou with the help of the speed of the sloop.

In this way, it also created an illusion for Chu Cailao and his men. They couldn't figure out how many such enemy ships were against them, and made them unable to figure out where these strange ships would appear.

Such an action has caused great losses to Chu Cailao, but also caused them a lot of psychological pressure, but it also made the sea wolves on the three sloops very tired, and the sails on the ship were seriously damaged.

In less than two months, the sails of the three ships, including the backup sails, were damaged to varying degrees due to excessive force and frequent fighting with people. If the sailors on the ship had not been constantly repairing the sails, these three ships would have lost their ability to act long ago.

So counting the time, Luo Xianbin decided that it was time to take three ships back to Nanri Island for rest. The ship also needed to undergo an overhaul, the personnel should also gasp, and the sail should be replaced with a new one.

So they began to return north from Chaozhou, which is why they appeared in the Kinmen Island area at this time.

When they had driven through Zhangzhou Bay and planned to continue north, the bucket on the mast accidentally found two boats with Chucai old flags operating outside Zhangzhou Bay in the mist with binoculars.

So Luo Xianbin temporarily decided to pick up the rabbit here, do a vote, and then return to Nanri Island in the north.

Now the sea wolves on the three ships have entered a state of war. The gunners in the cabin have already entered their respective positions, uncovered the artillery coats on the starboard and the bow and stern of the ship, took out the medicine bags and projectiles, and prepared for battle. The soldiers on each ship also prepared various weapons, and And their secret weapons* were also placed under the side of the ship, ready to be used at any time.

However, the * on their ship is not an iron shell, because after trying out the iron shell*, some crew members reacted that this guy is too powerful. Sometimes when the two ships are thrown into each other's ship and explode, it is very powerful. Although it can effectively kill the enemy, sometimes in the melee, it will always cause accidental injury to their own personnel.

On the contrary, the barracks were very satisfied with the iron shell*, but the soldiers of the water camp were afraid of this guy, so Yu Xiaotian modified * accordingly and used bamboo tubes to fill them with gunpowder, which was mixed with some scraps such as broken glass to make bamboo shell*. After the test, the power of this bamboo shell * is much lower than that of iron shell *. The killing diameter is also much smaller. Although the aggressiveness has weakened a lot, it is more suitable for use in the battle on the ship.

So now the *main bamboo shell* is used on the ship. Although there is also an iron shell* on the ship, it is only used before the port or at critical times. Generally speaking, sailors on the ship no longer use this kind of thing.

The three ships remained far within the sea level, relying on the upper bucket to stare at the two colorful old ships with binoculars, while their hulls were hidden in the thin water mist on the sea, making it impossible for the other party to find their existence by relying on their eyesight alone.

Regardless of the war in any era, both sides often pursue unilateral battlefield transparency. Seawolves begin to equip large quantities of telescopes, providing them with a battlefield advantage here, so that they can often grasp the dynamics of the battlefield in advance than the enemy, basically achieving unilateral transparency of the battlefield, which is also for him. Their sneak attack provides considerable technical guarantee.

When he saw the island appeared in the lens of the telescope, Shangdou reported the distance between the two sides on it. Luo Xianbin also took the telescope and confirmed the situation between the two sides for the last time through the mist.

"Haha! Together, they should be unlucky! Three-to-two, we have the advantage! Brothers, cheer up and kill them. Let's get ready to go home! Give them another look!" Luo Xianbin finally made up his mind to attack and shouted to his men on the ship.

The sea wolves on the three ships looked relatively relaxed. After agreeing, they began to sail and pull up the main sail and the front triangular sail, and the wind at sea at this time was not very strong. Even so, after starting the sail, the three new ships still obtained At a higher speed, it began to cooperate with each other, rushed out of the mist in a character-shaped formation, and rushed towards the two ships under Chu Cai's old man.
