The warships in this world are relatively classic sailing wooden ships.

Small warships have 3 masts, and large warships have 5 masts. There are holes in the bottom of the warships, and 8-12 huge oars stick out.

When there is a favorable wind and a current, the warship opens the sails and moves forward quickly; when there is a headwind or a countercurrent, it paddles forward; if there is a headwind + a countercurrent, the warship will anchor and stop temporarily.

But there are still some differences between the warships in this world and the ancient warships in Sean's previous life.

From the appearance, the warships in this world not only have large bows, but are also covered with a thick layer of iron. The collision angle of the bows is also highlighted by it, making it very suitable for collisions.

In terms of size, the warships in this world have extremely strong hulls, and their load-carrying capacity and tonnage are much larger than those in the previous world.

This mainly has to do with the combat personnel on the ship.

The main combatants on the ship are all bronze, silver and even gold-level warriors. Not only are their destructive power astonishing, but their load-bearing capacity is also very high. (When Windsor was at the silver level, wearing gold-level wrist guards was a heavy burden.

Zude, a bronze-level [Fighting Sparring Trainer], could barely lift the small wrist guard.)

If the warship's load-carrying capacity is not high, it may be sunk by the soldiers on the ship before it even sets out to sea.

The warship's sturdiness is also quite high, almost as good as an inferior city wall. Otherwise, it would be embarrassing for the entire ship to fall apart if it were rammed by a high-level enemy warrior.

Therefore, these warships docked at the military port are basically reinforced with magic circles carved by magicians. The light of the earth or water magic circle can be seen from a long distance away.

.......

The largest warship docked at the military port is called the "Violet". The Violet is 148 meters long and 60 meters wide. It is considered a giant among all warships.

After boarding the Violet, Earl Powell boasted: "You three, this warship is the famous Violet. It ranks among the top three warships in the entire sea area in terms of tonnage, second only to the Camellia of the Kingdom of Anjou."

and Iris.

The Violet has participated in countless maritime battles and crashed countless small and medium-sized warships. It is our main warship."

As Powell spoke, he led Sean and the three of them to the deck of the "Violet".

On the deck, the captain, first mate, second mate and many crew members lined up here. When Sean arrived, they all saluted neatly and respectfully.

Sean returned the favor and roughly observed their strength level.

The captain of the Violet is a low-rank silver warrior, and the first mate and second mate are at the bronze level. The rest of the crew, except for the two mid-level black iron captains, are all low-level black iron warriors who have just unlocked fighting spirit.

These crew members will not board enemy ships to fight in boarding battles. They are mainly "rowers" who provide services to the main battle force and operate the oars.

As for the main combatants who participated in the boarding battle at the bronze level and above, they usually enjoy themselves at Kapur Port, and they will not get on the ship until the war officially starts.

...

Occam Sparks naturally noticed the strength of these crew members. He rolled his eyes and said to Sean: "Sir, I now have a general understanding of the specific situation of the warship, and I have a very good idea for modification!"

"What do you think? Tell me." Sean asked hurriedly.

"It's like this," Occam looked at the crew members in front of him: "When the naval battle officially starts, we will not want any of these crew members except the helmsman!"

"No? How can this be done?" Earl Powell, the captain, first mate, and crew members were all shocked.

Without a crew, you can't expect a warship to run away on its own, right?

Sean somewhat understood what Occam meant and smiled: "Occam, go on."

"We can do this...and then that..."

Occam leaned into Sean's ear and told all his ideas.

In Occam's vision, all the Bronze- and Silver-class main battle members who stood on the deck in the original naval battle could be removed and replaced with "ship-borne artillery" and the gunners who operated the artillery.

Then these bronze and silver level main battle members took off their armor and acted as oarsmen.

When the war officially begins, the Anjou navy will definitely choose a day with smooth sailing. (This combat method that focuses on boarding battles will have at least 30% higher combat effectiveness with smooth sailing than against the wind and current).

The two fleets met at sea. After the Anjou navy entered the firing range, our navy turned 90 degrees in a "horizontal" formation and used artillery to sink several enemy ships, and then turned away from the enemy fleet again.

At this time, our fleet is heading in the same direction as the enemy, and the wind and water are smooth. Coupled with the rowing by bronze-level and silver-level oarsmen, it is definitely impossible for the enemy to catch up with them.

The enemy cannot catch up, so you can "kite" the enemy fleet from a long distance.

What's even more amazing is that the bronze and silver warriors don't wear armor, which saves a lot of load on the entire warship. This saved load can be used on the [ship-borne artillery].

What a perfect plan!

...

"This plan is very good! This can also save a lot of ship modification costs." Sean's eyes lit up, "Let's go to the cabin and perfect this plan now."

"Yes, my lord!" Occam, Musoni and Earl Powell replied one after another.

In the cabin, Sean and the four of them carefully discussed Occam's plan.

Finally, Sean asked Powell: "Powell, do you think Occam's plan is feasible?"

Powell closed his eyes and thought for a while. After about 10 seconds, he opened his eyes and replied:

"Your Highness Sean, I think this plan is feasible! Moreover, the Anjou Navy does not know our new combat plan and will definitely suffer a big loss, but..."

Powell said but suddenly paused.

"Powell, if you have anything to say, say it directly, don't hesitate." Sean said with some dissatisfaction.

"That's it, His Highness Sean." Powell said with a smile: "Although the plan is very feasible, the ship also lacks the most basic protection."

"The most basic protection?"

"For example, if the enemy forces catch up with our fleet by some means and start a head-on battle, then our combat effectiveness will be almost zero. If one is caught up, one will be lost, which we cannot afford.

"

"You make sense." Sean nodded: "Then do you have any solution?"

Powell thought for a while and replied: "Of course! When the war officially starts, we have 100 guns and can deploy them on 10 warships. For the remaining 10 warships, we can still arrange them as before.
Chapter completed!
