Chapter 131: Pirates

The fleet made its way south along the coastline. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

However, in less than 2 days, it bypassed the waters of Jangsankushi and Baeknyeong Island in North Korea.

At this moment, an eagle falcon that was scouting in the sky swooped, then waved its wings to slow down, and came to Chen Xin's side and cried.

These falcons are getting smarter and smarter, and with the training of ground crews, they are able to accurately express the detected situation in a coded way through long and short calls.

Chen Xin didn't need to listen to it to understand what the falcon wanted to express, but in order to train them, he listened carefully and tried to distinguish the meaning of the cry.

10 km to the south, 4 large sea boats, 5 small sea boats.

Then through Lao Bai read the images detected by the falcon, he found that there were 4 lucky boats, and 5 slightly smaller unknown ship-type ships, Chen Xin was satisfied with a piece of jerky and rewarded it to the falcon.

"Raise the flag, all ships are ready for battle, and there is a fleet passing ahead."

The herald took the order and left.

In this era, maritime merchants can transform into pirates at any suitable time or in the right place, without the slightest technical barrier. Especially when the size of the ship is dominant.

Although Chen Xin's fleet consisted of 10 ships, all of them were 30-meter-long boats, which were dozens of meters shorter than the Daifuku ships, and all the gun windows of the whole body were closed, and there seemed to be no artillery on the top deck.

What's more, even if the other party doesn't come to rob him, Chen Xin will go over to rob the other party.

This time he came out to make a big purchase, but the situation in Chen Xin's base area was not optimistic, there was no cash at all, there was no valuable goods to sell except ordnance, and the ordnance was not enough for his own use, so how could he sell it for money.

Therefore, Chen Xin, who is now empty-handed, has been thinking about how to get a start-up capital, and when he was scratching his head, he encountered a fleet, and Chen Xin, a person who had not seen a transaction method for almost a year, had the first thought that came to his mind was to do a vote and get the start-up capital.

Sure enough, after less than an hour of advancing downwind, under the guidance of the eagle falcon, Chen Xin's fleet played the role of an innocent little white rabbit and slowly approached the fleet.

As the distance got closer and closer, it was obvious that the other side was adjusting the sails, and the two fleets were getting closer and closer, which should have been staggered 2 kilometers apart.

Everyone in Chen Xin's fleet could clearly feel the enemy's thick malice and greedy eyes.

The officers on each ship under Chen Xin's command hid on the middle deck, sneering and began to reload the handcuffs in their hands.

The sea is humid, and the ammunition wrapped in the paper shell can be kept dry, but once it is loaded into the barrel in advance, it can be fired on the same day, but if you wait until the next day, the rate of blind fire is very high.

Therefore, the military code clearly stipulates that except for the necessary sentinel and alert troops, the rest of the people on the sea march can only be loaded in the barrel of the gun before the battle.

Zhao Qingyu is the commander of the ranger company that followed Chen Xin out this time, he took a great risk last time, and suggested to Chen Xin that he keep the number of the cavalry company, and finally not only the proposal was approved, but he also got a promotion and became a company commander.

Zhao Qingyu inserted the loaded handcuff back into the holster, turned to his subordinates and said, "Comrades, although our ranger unit has just been formed, you should have heard that the predecessor of our unit was expanded on the establishment of the heroic unit [Cavalry Company], which suffered more than 70% losses in the Battle of Stone Bridge, and all members were seriously injured and successfully completed the task. ”

With a sigh of relief, Zhao Qingyu glanced at the eyes of the soldiers and said loudly, "The general has issued a document that will give the honorary title of [Cavalry Company] to the general. Although the name of Brave has not yet been decided, there are so many companies in our Ranger Force, and only one company will definitely be able to get this heroic number, and I hope that our company can win this honor. The general once said that a soldier should have blood, and a soldier must fight. I hope that everyone can work together to get the first brave call of the whole army. Honor is my life. ”

"Honor is my life." The officers and men of the whole company shouted together, holding the weapons in their hands tightly and looking excited.

Zhao Qingyu nodded with satisfaction, looked at the approaching fleet outside through the crack in the gun window in the bow of the ship, held the saber in his left hand, and a scorching light appeared in his eyes.

On the other side, on a lucky ship at the head of the merchant fleet, a middle-aged man in a scribe's shirt looked at Chen Xin's fleet that was getting closer and closer, and felt very wrong in his heart.

Usually, when two fleets with too different strengths meet at sea, the weaker side will bypass it from afar, but how can it be so smooth today, how can the other party's small ship dare to move closer to its own side.

The scribe couldn't help but worry and said to a burly man standing at the bow of the ship, "Big brother, I feel that something is wrong, or let's withdraw." ”

As soon as these words came out, Deng Shi annoyed the other person next to him. "Big brother, you can't listen to the nonsense of Sun's account. Sun Shufang, what you said is not authentic, most of the goods on our ship are someone else's, and the brothers can't share a few dollars, and now there is such a big fat sheep, you actually want to let it go in vain? You promise, but the brethren don't. Isn't it brothers. ”

"Yes, we don't."

"Look at this draft, there must be a lot of cargo on board, how can you let it go."

"That's it, don't say that there are no cannons on the ship over there, even if there are cannons, the gentlemen have also grabbed it today."

Listening to the chaotic noise on the deck behind, the middle-aged scribe's face was a little unsightly, but it was not good, after all, what everyone said had some truth, but looking at the enemy ships getting closer and closer, the uneasiness in his heart became heavier and heavier.

Sun Shufang looked at the eldest brother, hoping that the eldest brother would make a decision.

Everyone also looked at him, and it seemed that this man had a high prestige in the ranks.

The eldest brother groaned for a long time, turned his face, looked at the big guy, and said in a deep voice, "Copy the guy, for every boat that is snatched down, each person will be rewarded with 20 taels of silver, and 50 taels for each head cut off. ”

There was a shout of cheers on the deck, and everyone began to prepare their weapons in unison.

"What the hell did you take, do you still want to rob the boat and divide the silver, you burned the boat, what are we all robbing?"

"Take more hooks and flying claws."

"Gunner, what about your tinder, and don't collapse your own people when the time comes."

"Flag bearer, hurry up and let the boat behind hold on tightly, don't let the fat sheep run away."

In the heat of the busyness, no one noticed that some of the gun windows were opened on both sides of the opposite fleet.

The propellers behind the 10 fast crabs-5 also began to rotate slowly.
