Chapter 76 Encounter

"The head of the family is Haitan Island. The forces in this area are very complex, and there are many colleagues here. Do you think we should be more careful?" Zhao Mazi walked behind Yu Xiaotian and whispered to Xiaotian.

At this time, Yu Xiaotian also saw a line of land exposed in the far away from the port of the ship. If he didn't know, he thought it was the mainland. It turned out that this was just the east side of Haitan Island. After hearing Zhao Mazi's reminder, Yu Xiaotian nodded and said, "Uncle Zhao made sense. I listened carefully. Everyone on the ship They were all in their place. Shangdou's eyes widened and looked carefully. Everyone cheered up. Let's be careful when we get outside Haitan Island!" Yu Xiaotian raised his voice and issued a warning to the whole ship.

After hearing Yu Xiaotian's shouting, the idle people immediately stood up straight. Meng madman immediately shouted to greet his soldiers, entered the cabin and began to take out the guy and prepare.

Zhao Mazi is right. On the east and west sides of Haitan Island, it has always been a place where ships in the north and south must pass through. In addition to Quanzhou, it is also the busiest place on Fujian's coastal routes. Many pirates focused their eyes on this area, so there was a boat robbery at this time. Now their sea wolves have also Become a member of the pirate group. Now the cabin is full of all kinds of goods. I'm going to Dalian Island to trade with the Li family. If I am robbed by my peers here, it's a big joke!

Everyone on the ship became nervous at this time. Liu Wang was light and had good eyes, so he was arranged to fight with the other two descendants by Yu Xiaotian. After receiving the warning, Liu Wang immediately volunteered to greet one of the descendants above and asked him to come down and take his place, like a little monkey. Miso grabbed the rope on the mast and climbed to the top of the main mast.

At the top of the main mast, a simple bucket has been set up for people to squat in and look at the distant sea. Although the scenery here is unique, people who don't have the courage can't do this, because Wangdou is the place where the whole ship shakes the most, and the sea breeze is also the largest place. Fang, people who look down are afraid of heights will be scared to their legs, let alone squat here and look in all directions. Even bold people must use a rope to stop themselves and tie their waists after coming up to prevent them from being thrown down when the storm is too strong.

Liu Wang is not old enough to be a bold person before, but this guy is quite clever. After several exercises with Yu Xiaotian, he has also become bold, and with this future brother-in-law, the boy has become much more cheerful. In addition, he likes to climb up and low, so he is right. It's more suitable for fighting.

Yu Xiaotian has been focusing on bows and arrows and * these days, but now it is found that this guy's arm strength is relatively small, he is unstable to hold the bow, and he can't drive a strong bow. In addition, he had no foundation before, so he basically had no chance to practice bows and arrows, so he asked him to give up bows and arrows and specialize in *hands, and Among their limited *, they selected one*, which is relatively good at work, will not explode and is slightly more accurate, and is given to their three fighting as their exclusive weapons.

Yu Xiaotian attaches more importance to the industry of fighting. They can not only take on the job of looking on the ship, but also have the most open vision and is also a very suitable position for sniping. If Shangdou can be a sharpshooter, they can Unexpectedly sniping the enemy's leader from a high place may sometimes influence the battle.

Therefore, Liu Wang and the other two had to fight and concentrate on this item. So far, the three of them have mastered the skills of loading and launching * in the case of shaking at a high place, but because of the limited conditions, they are very nervous about the gunpowder in their hands, and the * in their hands is full The quantity can only be called fire, and the accuracy is very poor, so it can't play an effective role for the time being.

With Yu Xiaotian's plan, if they can't get a better artillery in a short period of time, they should at least find a way to get a few better * or bird guns, at least in terms of close combat.

This time they went to Dalian Island to find the Li family to trade. Yu Xiaotian has made a large list of materials that need to be purchased, including all kinds of firearms. Now as pirates, they are fooling around on the sea, relying on simple knives, guns, bows and arrows and other cold weapons, which is a little outdated. He thought about doing this. He tried to build a well-equipped subordinate, so that they would have a better chance of winning when they acted at sea.

The ship continued to sail northward, and after a while, Liu Wang shouted on the lookout at the top of the mast, "Two ships appeared five miles ahead!" It's heading towards Haitan Island!"

After hearing Liu Wang's cry, the people on the boat immediately came to their spirits and began to stretch their heads to look in front of the ship.

"The first two boats turned! He greeted us, and it seems that he didn't have good intentions!" After the ship moved forward for a while, Liu Wang shouted on the mast again.

After Yu Xiaotian heard this, his nerves immediately began to tighten and looked up and shouted, "Do you see that there is a flag on their ship? What kind of ship is it?

Liu Wang replied loudly, "Now I can't see whether they have a flag or not. Two boats are big and small, one is like a three-masted lucky boat and the other is like a two-masted bird boat! It's a little similar to our boat!"

Liu Liu immediately said to Xiaotian, "The two boats in this place are one. It is estimated that they are not ordinary merchant ships. They must have seen our ship and came towards us. Maybe they are coming for us!"

Yu Xiaotian was also secretly calculating. Now he can't see the other party's boat, but according to Liu Wang's feedback, the other party must have been a bad person, so he raised his hand and shouted, "Get ready!"

After a practice, the people on the ship performed much better this time. It's a good idea. The last time they hijacked the ship, Yu Xiaotian repeatedly analyzed with these people on the way back and in the past few days, so that everyone understood what they committed in the last hijacking of the ship. All kinds of mistakes, and let these people have nothing to say.

So although they performed extremely poorly in the last boat robbery and paid the price of Zhao Tong's life and two people's injuries, after that day's incident, they learned a lot from it, so it was also a great blessing in misfortune. In the past two days, Yu Xiaotian felt that it was still comparable to More satisfactory.

At this moment, when they heard Yu Xiaotian's order to prepare, the people on the ship did not show any signs of chaos, but began to hang the bow in an orderly manner. A bundle of arrows were opened and placed in the position of the hand. The rocket was also stained with fire oil. At the same time, someone took it out The torches and more than a dozen cans containing fire oil were also placed in the fixed basket under the starboard of the ship, and several three-eyed torches were also picked up and filled with gunpowder and gunshots one by them.

In short, the last chaos did not appear again this time, and everyone quickly stood where they needed to stand and was ready for the next step.

At this time, one of their bowls was also lifted, revealing the body of the gun. A gunpowder can was taken out and placed next to the gun rack. Two descendants designated as gunners took out the pestle and were ready to fill it.

Now they have a bowl of mouth. The last time they hijacked the boat, because there was too much blackhead charge, the gun rack was cracked after it started, and the mouth of the gun was also collapsed. Now it is placed on Treasure Island, ready to go back to call the blacksmith and then repair it. In a short time, they dare not Use that bowl again.

So at present, their heavy firepower has been halved. For them, it's okay to rob others. In case they are besieged, they will suffer more. After Xiaotian's performance, he not only does not feel too worried, but also feels a little relieved.

Fighting may be a better way to temper people than training. His previous idea of calm down and specially training these subordinates has changed. In fact, the harvest of their last boat hijacking was not small. At least let these people know their shortcomings and what to do. A little bit is much more precious than the little wealth they robbed.

Therefore, Yu Xiaotian has now changed his original idea and decided to take these people to practice them at sea while doing a few votes. He does not seek success, but only wants these people to accumulate more experience through actual combat, which may be better than simple training.

Today, when they came to Dalian Island, Yu Xiaotian came out and brought out most of his capable people. First, to ensure the safety of the goods they carried on this trip, and second, they let these people carry out some training on the way to Dalian Island this time.

And today, it seems that the situation is not very good. Ten * met their peers, but they can't avoid it. At present, their cabin is full of goods to go to Dalian Island. The ship is fully loaded, the water is relatively deep, and the speed is relatively slow. Instead of showing weakness and avoiding now, it is better to swagger to meet them. It's good to show your identity.

At present, the people on the ship are ready. If the other party really wants to eat black, they will not give it for nothing. What's more, the pirates also have rules. Generally speaking, as long as they are peers, not enemies, meeting at sea is often a greeting, and no one is willing to fight desperately with each other.

So Yu Xiaotian did not order to turn around, but continued to swing his sails and face the two boats in front of him.

"They raised their flag! The green flag is raised on the big boat, and the blue flag is raised on the small boat! There seems to be words on the green flag! I can't see clearly!" Liu Wang, who was looking at the fight, once again reported loudly on it.

At this time, Yu Xiaotian and others could also see the two boats appearing on the sea level. Some ** appeared slightly on the ship. Liu Laoliu was experienced in this and immediately said, "Xiaotian, the two boats opposite are not in the same group. Maybe they are two groups of people who came together, but I don't know where they are. ! What should we do?"

Yu Xiaotian took a deep breath and said, "Stabilize! Let's just go ours! Well water does not violate the river! As long as they don't want to play with their lives, they shouldn't be able to do anything to us! All departments should just be prepared!"

Yu Xiaotian's calmness made the people on the ship calm down again. He slightly adjusted the sail according to Liu Laoliu's instructions, and was ready to adjust the sails at any time. At this time, the soldier and other crew members who were temporarily fine also stood up straight and stood on the side of the ship. Everyone folded their chests. Belly, pull it up as high as possible to make them look more majestic.

As the two ships travel in the direction, the distance between the two sides is getting closer and closer. Yu Xiaotian can already see some details of the other's ships, as well as the flags of the two ships.

Among the two boats that came, a larger ship belongs to the unique lucky boat along the coast of Fujian. There are two main masts and a low inclined foremast. Such a lucky boat has twice the displacement of their current bird boat, and the speed is slightly higher. It is a medium-sized lucky boat, but it is the same as the Ming Dynasty. Compared with the No. 2 lucky boat, the sailor is smaller and not as strong as a warship. It is a relatively common sea boat along the coast of Fujian. It is estimated that it was also a merchant ship in the early part, but now it has become a pirate ship.

The advantage of such a lucky ship is that the ship is tall and the hull is strong. Generally, it can compete with the tactics of collision with enemy ships. Of course, the premise is that it is smaller than it, and the ability to resist wind and waves at sea is also relatively strong, which is more suitable for sea navigation, but the disadvantages are also obvious, that is, it is not flexible enough, and when it is light Some ships are not easy to turn, and it is difficult to catch up with other ships effectively. Therefore, such ships look more majestic, but they are not suitable as pirate ships. No wonder they will team up with two ships.

The other ship is similar in size to Yu Xiaotian's boat. It is also a bird ship, and it is also a double mast. The displacement of the ship is basically similar to that of their ship. The difference is that the bow of the ship that came over looks more awkward. It doesn't seem to be the original one, but it seems that it is on the original ship. The head looks awkward.

The flag raised on the lucky boat of the three masts is green. There seems to be a traditional Chinese character Liu on the flag, but the distance is relatively far away. Yu Xiaotian is not sure. That is, the character Liu can only be determined by a little closer.

And the other bird boat rises a blue flag. On the tattered blue flag, it seems to have a clean surface and nothing. It is impossible to determine their specific identity.

(Ask for red tickets! Brothers, help smash a few! Ha ha!)
