Chapter 124： Ambush (below) (1/2)
”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. ”
