Chapter 124： Ambush (below)

"Is that why you have asked me to recruit ten French speakers on the island before?"

"Yes, we're going to leave thirty people on the deck, disguised as sailors on a merchant ship, um, try to choose not to be so fierce, the body is relatively thin, the remaining people stay in the secret mezzanine below the deck, oh yes Then there are artillery. There are a lot of artillery on board, throw away half of it. "

"Are you serious? Only a dozen artillery pieces are left to deal with Britain's most powerful warship in the Caribbean?"

相信 "Believe me, there is no difference between sixteen and thirty-two artillery when facing Scarborough." Orff shrugged and looked around. "What else is wrong?"

"Even if we do as you say, we luckily cheated the people on the Scarborough and convinced them that we are a French merchant ship and successfully connected, but we still have an absolute disadvantage in human hands." Zhang Heng said silently.

"Good question, we all know that there are 700 people on the Scarborough, but this number is actually hydrated. Captain Elmer comes from an aristocratic family and his lifestyle is very luxurious, even in the Scarborough. He has n’t changed. He has paid for musicians, individual chefs, and attendants ... There are a lot of people who accompany him to relieve the boredom. These people are not combative, plus the logistics of the ship, they can really fight. There should be only 600 people. "

"Applying your previous sentence, I don't see the difference between 600 and 700 people?" Irving said.

"I haven't finished talking. The situation at Marbella is tense. At the beginning of this year, the Admiralty recruited a group of experienced sailors from the New World side. Now about two-thirds of the Scarborough They are recruits. Most of them are fishermen and farmers in the colonies. They only experienced a short training period of one or two months. The fighting level is average. As long as we can beat them in the first round of attacks, they are likely to collapse completely afterwards, so we The real enemies are only the 200 veterans. The men who are now on this ship are real men. One to one, I don't believe you will lose to anyone. "

Olf's last sentence successfully inspired many people's blood, but there are still few responders.

The key is that Scarborough's reputation has been known, and it has always been a nightmare for pirates near the Caribbean Sea. The thought of challenging such a behemoth, and finally the morale that inspired it finally fell.

Orff clapped his hands. "Gentlemen, I know what you are worried about. I said from the beginning that this is not an easy journey. Treasures will not take the initiative to find us. No doubt we will experience on the way. Sharpen, meet challenges, but as long as everyone works together ... "

Irving could not help but interrupt his words, "It is not a challenge to challenge the Scarborough. The danger of this matter is too high. Even if every step in the middle is not wrong, whether we can win it is still unknown. You said that the treasure map must be kept secret. We have been unconditionally obeying your order for so long, but this time I'm afraid it won't work. If you want us to agree to this matter, at least tell us why. "

Owen's words resonated with the pirates, and Orff nodded in response to the general trend. "Well, we are close to the target anyway, and I can almost tell you. I got the fifth piece of exact news. The treasure map is in the hands of Count Belomont. "

"Count Belomont? The Count Belomont of the Governor of New York, Massachusetts, New Hampshire?"

At the beginning, pirates didn't know what the name meant. After hearing this sentence, they couldn't help taking a sigh of relief. If they make a list of the most powerful people in the New World, Belomont must be One of the first few people, the treasure map in the hands of such a big man, there is almost no possibility of getting it back.

"Yes, he was also the one who handed Kidd to the gallows. A large part of Kidd's relics fell to his hands after his death, not only the fifth treasure map, but also the sixth treasure map. Clues, in other words, we can almost find the treasure as long as we catch him. "Orff then threw another chip," and his value is not less than a treasure, if we can successfully catch He conservatively estimates that a ransom of 400,000 pounds can be reached. "

This number makes all people's breaths unbearable, and Kidd's treasure is still a little distant, but the ransom is near.

But what really played a decisive role was Orff's last sentence, "Beromont will leave his territory after a month and a half and go to Charleston to attend his little daughter's wedding. That is our best chance to win. We can block Charleston's port at Scarborough ~ www.novelhall.com ~ and go ashore to catch people. "

Uh ...

"I must have been crazy to vote in favour." Malvin was shaking with his potato cutter hand. "We're dead, right, the cannon on the Scarborough will tear us all into Shards, or those sailors rushed up and chopped us straight, God, I should really listen to your vote. "

"It's useless, even if your vote is still far away from vetoing this action." Zhang Heng said with a spoon, but still calm, if he can determine the direction of things, he certainly does not want to go this step, However, the Sea Lion is now the master of Orff, who has taken precautions against him. During this time on the ship, Zhang Heng has been very low-key. Although he voted against it, in addition to speaking with Malvin, he said Did not discourage anyone.

It is meaningless to complain at this point. Only one person who has won the Scarborough boat together can survive.

Zhang Heng and Malvern were selected to camouflage merchant ship personnel because they were not so cruel, and they are now the cooks on this "French merchant ship".

Zhang Heng took off his black coat, and temporarily gave it to the ambush in the mezzanine with the weapon on his body, but for safety, he still kept the dagger to defend himself, and the dagger was hidden in the pot of potatoes under Malvin's feet Subcutaneously.

After a while footsteps came from the door, and the bookkeeper Griffin ran down the deck. "Scarbury is hooked and is coming this way. Mr. Orff asked me to inform you to be prepared. Do n’t show your feet. "

显然 He apparently hasn't experienced this kind of thing before, it seems very tense, even stuttering a bit, but considering their role now, it is a normal reaction to encounter a British warship.
