I Have 48 Hours a Day

"How to ambush?" Said another bald captain. "The clue we just got was to know the approximate route of the treasure ship. Our ship can be hidden behind the island, but when the treasure ship passed the island, How do we know how far it is from us? If it is more than half a nautical miles away from us, we will still be unable to complete the attack. "

His words were also endorsed by the vast majority of the captains.

"So we still need a bait," said the black prince Sam. "Our ships cannot all be hidden behind the island. Someone must take the initiative to attack the treasure ship and lead it to the ambush site behind the island. Come."

"What if it's just a warship?" The captain of the Warrior asked, "You said, there are two warships beside him."

"Then we will kill the warship first, and then turn around and take down the treasure ship. Without the warship's escort, we can easily surround it without fear of being broken one by one." & 1t; i> & 1t; / i>

The black prince Sam said, "To this end, we need two ships as bait. If one ship is used, it is likely that only one warship will deal with us. If the two ships are opposite, only two warships will be deployed to ensure foolproofness. That treasure ship is also likely to move together. "

There was no objection to this, but everyone was silent when choosing the bait.

The risk of bait is undoubtedly the highest in this operation. The two pirate ships doing the bait need to directly face the firepower of two warships and a treasure ship, and no one can help them before reaching the original location. In other words, they face all the risks before the siege begins.

The black prince Sam said, "I hope that I can do the bait, but my Vinda is strong in armor and collision angle, and has no advantage in navigation. Although the treasure ship is also not fast, but the two The warship is very mobile, so we need two fast enough ships and an experienced captain. Only in this way can we stick to the designated location. In consideration of the risks, I propose to modify the distribution ratio of loot and perform decoy tasks. Two ships can get half as much loot as the other four ships, do you agree? "& 1t; i> & 1t; / i>

After a short hesitation, the six captains in the room, including the black prince Sam, all raised their hands.

"Very well, do we have volunteers now?"

"Count me." A moment later, a man with a thin cheek and sunken eyes opened his mouth. From Zhang Heng's entry into the captain's room until now he has been sitting there like a piece of wood, except when he needs to vote. Besides, I haven't spoken at other times.

No one was surprised when he spoke.

Full canvas Luke-Nassau's fastest sailor, his Swordfish was rebuilt, at the expense of some firepower and armor, in exchange for the fastest in the entire Caribbean Sea, his fame is in Four past merchant ships were robbed in different places in less than a day, and the title of Manfan came from this.

And his helm level is also very high, probably about the same as the previous Winter Hatchson. & 1t; i> & 1t; / i>

Therefore, this mission is quite suitable for him, but only one ship is obviously not enough, especially the firepower on the Swordfish is relatively thin. There are only thirty-one nine-pound cannons on the ship, which may not attract two warships to pursue.

"There is still a quota, is anyone still willing?" Sam the Black Prince asked again.

But this time he waited for half a minute and no one spoke again. None of the captains who could sit in this room was a coward, but this did not mean that they would take unnecessary risks in order to prove their courage.

In fact, the crew of a ship can make a name for themselves in this area. People who survived battles of all sizes can't just be reckless husbands. Some people may look brave, but they can also be critical. Keep calm. Everyone has silently measured the gains and losses in the heart when the black prince Sam throws up the conditions to increase the loot by half. & 1t; i> & 1t; / i>

For Brooke, because he owns the fastest three-masted sailboat in the Caribbean, the benefits of bait outweigh the risks.

But for others, halving the gain may not be enough to take them so much risk.

"In this case, the old method can only be used." Black Prince Sam took out five silver coins from the wallet. "Let's draw and decide. I will mark one of them and get the silver coin." People are going to make bait with Brook. "

This method can't choose the fastest boat, but it is the fairest solution when everyone does not want to do bait.

Although the silver coins minted in this era are generally similar in shape, they are limited by the minting process at that time, and there are still many differences in details. Therefore, the black prince Sam first marked the people and threw the silver coins back In the bag, let everyone choose one after another, and the last one left is his. & 1t; i> & 1t; / i>

After everyone jumped over the silver coins, the black prince Sam said again, "Who got the silver coins with two scores on the back?"

Everyone turned the silver coin in their hands to the back, and the black prince Sam took out the last silver coin from the wallet.

Zhang Heng looked and threw back the scratched silver coin to the black prince Sam.

The latter held up the silver coin and declared, "Another ship responsible for bait work is the Jackdaw. Do you have any questions?"

"Let's talk about the rest of the matter until Parrot Island." The captains saw that the results of the discussion had come out, and they did not stay on the Vida any more, and got up to leave the captain's room.

The black prince Sam rolled up the navigation chart on the table and called the last Zhang Heng, "How about, is there any difficulty in this task?"

Zhang Heng shook his head. His Jackdaw was a battleship designed for battle. It was a first-class Clipper. His own sailing technology had also been upgraded to 1v2. Except for Brooke and his swordfish, there was no one else. More suitable than him for decoy missions ~ www.readwn.com ~ Zhang Heng just felt that there was no need to take risks for the extra half of the loot, but since the result of the lottery is like this, he will not refuse.

If Jackdaw returned to Nassau at this time, his reputation would also become very bad, and no one would ask him for cooperation in the future.

"Okay, we'll see you in Parrot Island."

…………

Four days passed in a flash, and Zhang Heng had met with the other five captains again on the Cockatoo Island and thoroughly determined and perfected this battle plan.

He and Brook left the island with their crew, separated by about half a nautical miles from each other, lowered the sails, and waited quietly for their prey.
