Chapter 258. Twenty sloops
It is impossible for Levi to divide part of his power and let others control it, which is equivalent to handing over the dagger in his hand to others, not to mention that it is still handed over to the previous opponent, or even the enemy. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
No one would be so stupid, even if the elven fleet appeared in the eastern waters of the North Trumming Sea in the next second, and was preparing to attack Levi's Cape Town, he would not really let the troops of Grey Mist City come over and help defend it, because it would be like fighting against a ferocious hungry wolf and attracting another hungry hyena.
"None of them are good."
Standing on the city wall, Li Wei looked at the small merchant ship that had finished the negotiation and was in Yang Fan, preparing to return to Gray Mist City, but the corners of his mouth also brought a hint of mockery: "They came here this time, probably to see our damage." ”
Standing behind him, Green also looked down at the merchant ship that was disappearing on the side of Cape Mountain, and said with a calm face: "They won't really choose peace with us, if the governor of Gray Mist City uses this matter to integrate the power of the nobles, I think it's time for us to clash again." ”
After a pause, as an old captain who had seen a lot of strife, Green also had his own unique opinion after becoming the chief minister: "The most important point is that if the governor digests the power of the nobles, then his own strength will be greatly expanded. ”
"It doesn't matter, the feudal troops of the Middle Ages, what can they be afraid of in front of us?"
Levi smiled, he didn't care at all about a group of troops who were still in the feudal period, because this was the gap between the times, from defeating the Ketufu River thieves at that time to defeating the regular army in Gray Mist City now, it is enough to show that the strength of the modern army in the face of the feudal army is powerful that can be directly crushed!
Although this is related to the fact that the enemy does not understand the tactics of modern armies and still uses traditional dense formations, in other words, even if they use scattered formations to attack, the final result is still to be cut like wheat stubble.
Especially now that Levi has cavalry, on the frontal battlefield, the last shortcoming has been made up.
Just like the iron triangle has been completely formed, the three points and one line of infantry, artillery, and cavalry have formed the basic strength of the modern army, that is, the three points of this foundation, which can support the entire front, easily defeat the enemy, and even launch a tragic massacre!
"Hopefully there won't be any problems."
Green nodded slowly, he was already roughly clear about the current military strength of Cape Town, although he could not divide his troops to attack Gray Mist City, and he did not have the ability to overcome the three city wall defenses of Gray Mist City, but it was more than enough for self-protection.
The strongest force on the entire east coast is Cape Town of the Spanish Empire, and Levi's orders will completely replace the authority of the Governor, and any troops, warships, and speculators who come to this sea or coast will be monitored by Cape Town, and if they show hostility, then the final result will not be much to say.
At present, Levi, who still has tens of thousands of energy points, will not continue to develop the army on a large scale, because when he has so many energy points, he also needs to choose this world as a means of strategic attack.
That is, the Navy.
At present, the navy of Gray Fog City is still dominated by galleons, supplemented by five sloops, two heavy Canadian warships as coastal patrol ships, and the other six light Canadian warships can only carry out cargo transshipment in the Yuqiao River.
This navy is a thorough protector of the port, not in a positive sense, but in a slightly derogatory sense.
Because their activity radius can only be in the sea near the port, they can't leave the offshore sea and the port too far, and the ocean voyage is an impossible task!
Levi needs his own fleet, at least it can cover the coastal waters of the entire Great Silver Pan Island, whether it is the east coast or the west coast, the fleet of Cape Town must be able to reach it at any time, so that it can bring huge pressure to Gray Mist City, and directly hold the initiative of the war in the palm of his hand permanently.
What's more, the elven fleet may also appear at any time, according to the information obtained before, if the elves conquer the island where the Lingtao fish people are entrenched in the new route, then a new forward base will appear in front of Levi.
They are the nearest enemies, and there is not even much possibility of peace talks, because humans and elves are two races, and those elves have made up their minds to conquer the North Trunchi Sea from the beginning, and make this sea area a subsidiary territory of the elven country, and they are absolute invaders!
"When it comes to recruiting for the navy, in my opinion, dhows are still the best option."
Green, Levy's partner for two years, clearly knows what his king is thinking at the moment. Looking down at the warship that was still cruising slowly along the coast, he also opened his mouth to suggest: "If the weather is good, the dhow can barely enter the deep sea, and if there is any action against the Great Silver Pan Island, the dhow can also enter the Ketufu River." ”
"It's about the same as I thought."
Nodding, Green's suggestion was correct, and Levi had already taken this into account, looking at the five sloops not far away, and said, "At least we can't be passive defense." ”
Clenched his fists slightly, Levi's palms were already clenched, the sea level in the east was still like a line, and the sea reflected in the blue sky and white clouds was also clear blue, he exhaled a long breath, and the sea breeze with a faint fishy smell also made his expression a little solemn: "The islands on the new route can't be given to those elves in vain." ”
"Unfortunately, we are not able to recruit Galen sailing ships at this time."
Green also shook his head helplessly, this kind of most famous warship in the Spanish Empire, if it could appear in their fleet, it could almost be called a crushing of anyone.
But look at the current Cape Town, all the buildings are the most basic form, if you want to recruit the Galen sailboat, at least you have to wait for the middle of the period, after all, the Galen sailboat that can be built casually in the game, in reality, you can't always use a local fishing ground, this kind of fishing-based building can be built.
At least at the level of a military port, a real military dock, can build that huge ship!
At present, the local fishing grounds in Cape Town can only recruit two types of sail warships, sloops and brigs, as well as two oared warships, light and heavy Galie warships.
Of course, if the current Cape Town is considering defending against the enemy fleet, then the two offshore patrol ships of the Galie warship are undoubtedly not to be considered, and the dhow and the brig warship have come into their eyes, but these two warships seem to be just one word difference, but in fact they are two completely different warships!
The dhow is an improved version of the medieval Clark ship, and it can even be said to be a smaller version of the Galen galleon, with only one deck and 18 guns that can only defend itself.
The brig warship is completely different, both in terms of hull structure and structure, it is much wider than the sloop, because this kind of brig warship in the real history, the role of the research is to focus on coastal defense, belonging to the real coastal defense class of warships, with their 21 long-barreled naval guns, against increasingly powerful naval ships.
After all, the Galie warship was eliminated at the beginning of the game, let alone in history?
Almost all pirates, armed merchant ships, privateers, smuggling ships, in the middle and late stages of history, most of them are dhow similar ship types, light, flexible, fast, ordinary oared warships in the rivers and lakes may be able to resist a little, but in the vast sea, want to bite these flexible ships, it is impossible.
Therefore, various countries in history have developed brigs, which are more advanced coastal patrol ships, to combat pirates and smuggling ships, and maintain security in coastal waters and port areas.
"Recruit 15 dhow ships!"
Li Wei exhaled slowly, and directly determined his choice in his heart, and with the rapid decline of the energy value that originally had tens of thousands of points, fifteen golden armor cards also instantly appeared in his mind.
These are fifteen sloops, just with these ships, Levi's supremacy on the east coast has been determined, although this kind of warship can not enter the deep sea too much, but as long as the weather is sunny and windy, the sloop can also raise its sails to carry out activities in the deep sea, after all, the pirates in the history of the earth can quite like this kind of flexible warship!
Although it is less resistant to wind and waves, it is flexible, and the cabin with decent space can also carry some cargo, if it is not mainly used for military purposes, it can even be used as an armed merchant ship!
Therefore, the practicality of the dhow warship, compared with the brig warship for purely military purposes, is much more cost-effective, although the number of guns of the brig is 21, but after the formation of the fleet, the number of guns is not too important, but depends on the command ability of the admiral for the fleet!
With at least these fifteen dhows, Levi's naval strength has reached a real swelling!
Twenty sloops, one Galen galleon, even if the elven fleet arrived now, Levi was absolutely sure that he had the strength to fight, and they would not even be able to cross the sea.
It was a fleet of 360 guns, and it was as nimble as a flying fish, and in the Caribbean waters of the earth, a large number of pirate gangs relied on these light and dexterous warships to snipe the treasure ships of the Spanish Empire and rob merchant ships from various European countries and the Americas, and became famous.
If they can't be defeated, these ships can be scattered and retreat, and when the enemy is alone, they will quickly assemble like wolves, and then pounce on them fiercely, almost invincible! (To be continued.) )
