"How ambush?" Another bald captain spoke, "All we get is the approximate route of the Treasure Ship, our ship can hide behind the island, but when the Treasure Ship passes by this island, how do we know how far away it is from us, if it is more than half a nautical mile away from us, we will not be able to complete the sneak attack." ”

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

"So we need another bait." Sam, the Black Prince, said, "Our ship can't all hide behind the island, and someone needs to take the initiative to attack the treasure ship and lead it to the ambush spot behind the island." ”

"What if it's just a warship?" The captain of the Warrior then asked, "As you said, there are two warships by its side. ”

"Then let's kill the warship first, and then turn around and take the treasure ship, without the escort of the warship, we can surround it very calmly, without worrying about being broken one by one."

Sam, the Black Prince, said, "For this reason, we need two ships as bait, if one ship is likely to have only one warship to deal with us, if there are two ships, we can only dispatch two warships on the other side to be foolproof, and the treasure ship is also very likely to act together." ”

There was no objection to this, but then everyone fell silent when it came time to choose the bait.

The risk of the decoy was undoubtedly the highest in the operation, the two pirate ships that were used as decoys had to face the fire of two warships and a treasure ship, and there was no one to help them until they reached their intended position, in other words, they had to face all the risks before the siege began.

Black Prince Sam said, "I hope I can be the bait, but my Vader is strong in armor and ramming angles, and has no advantage in speed, although the speed of the treasure ship is also not fast, but those two warships are very maneuverable, so we need two ships that are fast enough, and experienced captains, only in this way can we hold on to the designated place, considering the risks involved, I propose to modify the distribution ratio of the loot, the two ships that perform the bait task can get half more of the loot than the other four ships, Does everyone agree? ”

After a brief hesitation, the six captains in the room, including Sam, the Black Prince, all raised their hands one after another.

"Okay, so do we have volunteers now?"

"Count me in." A moment later, a man with thin cheeks and sunken eye sockets spoke, from the time Zhang Heng entered the captain's room until now, he had sat there like a log, and he had not spoken at any other time except for a reaction when he needed to vote.

But when he spoke, no one was surprised.

Full Sailbrook - Nassau's fastest speed holder, his Swordfish was modified to be the fastest in the entire Caribbean at the expense of some firepower and armor, and he became famous for robbing four passing merchant ships in different places in less than a day, hence the nickname Full Sail.

And he is also very good at the helm, probably about the same as the Hutchison of the previous Harsh Winter.

Therefore, this mission is very suitable for him, but only one ship is obviously not enough, especially the firepower on the Swordfish is relatively thin, and there are only thirty-one nine-pounder guns on board, which may not be able to attract two warships to pursue.

"There is still a slot, and is anyone else volunteering?" Sam, the Black Prince, asked again.

But this time he waited half a minute and no one spoke, and none of the captains who could sit in this room were cowards, but that didn't mean they would take unnecessary risks to prove their mettle.

In fact, the crew of a ship can lead a ship to make a name for itself in this sea, and the people who survive the big and small battles can't just be reckless, maybe someone looks brave on the outside, but they can also stay calm at critical times, and when the black prince Sam threw out the condition of increasing the spoils by half, everyone silently weighed the gains and losses in their hearts.

For Brooke, because he owns the fastest three-masted schooner in the entire Caribbean, the benefits of being a decoy outweigh the risks.

But for others, half the benefits may not be enough for them to take such a big risk.

"In that case, we have to use the old way." Sam, the Black Prince, pulled out five silver coins from his purse, "Let's draw lots, I'll mark one of them, and whoever gets it will be bait with Brooke." ”

You can't pick the fastest boat, but it's the fairest solution when everyone doesn't want to be bait.

Although the silver coins minted in this era are roughly the same shape, they are limited by the coinage process at that time, and there are still many differences in details, so the black prince Sam first marked the silver coins with everyone on his back, threw the silver coins back into the money bag, and then let everyone choose them in turn, and the last one left was his.

After everyone had finished dancing the silver coin, Sam, the Black Prince, spoke again, "Who got the silver coin with two notches on the back?" ”

Everyone flipped the silver coin to the back, and Sam, the Black Prince, took the last silver coin out of his purse.

Zhang Heng's expression moved, and he threw the scratched silver coin in his hand back to the black prince Sam.

The latter held up the silver coin and announced, "The other ship in charge of the decoy is the Jackdaw, do you have any questions?" ”

"Let's wait until Parrot Island arrives." Seeing that the results of the discussion had come out, the captains did not stay any longer on the Vidah, and got up and left the captain's quarters.

Black Prince Sam rolled up the nautical chart on the table and called out to the last Zhang Heng, "How about it, is there any difficulty in this mission?" ”

Zhang Heng shook his head, his Jackdaw is a battleship designed for battle, it is a first-class clipper, and his own sailing sailing technology has also been upgraded to lv2, except for Brooke and his Swordfish, there is indeed no one more suitable for the bait mission than him, before Zhang Heng just felt that there was no need to risk for the extra half of the trophies, but since the result of the draw was like this, he would not refuse.

If the Jackdaw turns around and returns to Nassau at this time, his reputation will also become very bad, and no one will cooperate with him in the future.

"Alright, we'll see you on Parrot Island."

…………

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

He and Brooke then left the island with their respective crews, separated by about half a nautical mile, lowered their sails, and waited quietly for their prey.
