The next day, Jaehaerys felt refreshed after a night's rest. He ordered all the experienced captains and knights to be summoned, and then placed various models on the map table.

After the captain and knights entered the hall one after another, he ordered the door to be closed, "My lords, the time has come for my life and death on Dragonstone Island..."

Jaehaerys said something shocking, which immediately shocked everyone in the hall, "Could it be that the usurper has already built enough warships?"

"Or is it that the Redwin family assisted in the battle?"

Everyone was talking a lot, but seeing that Jaehaerys was unhurried and calm, they also calmed down.

Haven't you seen that even an 8-year-old child is not worried? It can be seen that the situation is not that bad yet...

"Everyone, be quiet!" Sir Tritimon and Sir William had already received the instructions. With their loud shouts, the bustling hall soon became silent. Only the wind blew through the narrow windows of the drum tower and the huge roar of the waves hitting the rocks on the shore. .

"The Usurper is determined to destroy me and secretly orders Stannis Baratheon to build a warship in Cape Wrath..."

"Now through the internal guards, we have discovered that there are about 3,000 enemy troops, including 300-500 knights..."

"There are about fifty trebuchets and about 200 scorpion crossbows disguised near the coast..."

"There are 8 warships under construction in the dock, one of which is a 400-oar giant warship! There are 30 small and medium-sized warships parked at the dock, equipped only with sails... basically without combat effectiveness, but we cannot rule out the rapid installation of scorpion crossbows, Weapons such as collision corners..."

"The above is all the enemy information that the inner guard has discovered! Next, let's ask Tritimon and Sir William to introduce our troop strength to everyone!" Jaehaerys put Stannis's information on the head of the inner guard. After all, he The cultivation level is not enough, so it is not appropriate to publicize it, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble, such as the church, the red-robed monks and the gods...

Sir Tritimon first explained the situation of his own warships, which everyone knew already, while Sir William reported the situation of his own infantry and knights.

The navy can crush the enemy, but on land...not to mention, as long as the enemy's 50 heavily armored knights charge, they can drive their own spearmen, longbowmen and crossbowmen into the sea.

"Our reserve of Spring Thunder has reached 3,000 cans, and the number is still increasing by 100 cans every day. I believe everyone who has seen its power knows that this is our trump card, and it is basically invincible in naval battles!"

"But there is a serious problem of insufficient range. Before we reach the dock, we will be attacked by the enemy's trebuchets...and then the enemy's scorpion crossbows..."

"Can the weight of each can of Spring Thunder be reduced to increase the range?" someone asked. "This is a good question, but what I want to tell you is that Spring Thunder is an all-in-one magical alchemy product. It can only be made by reducing the volume of the container or the number of raw materials before making it... and this takes time. !”

As the improver of Spring Thunder, Jaehaerys still has the right to speak in this regard. The self-propelled magic circle is very sophisticated and can add the aura of stable structure to the semi-finished fish oil green amphibole and other mixtures to reconstruct the external frame. However, this is not His one-man power was largely simplified by Duobao Miaoshu based on the structural formation of a kind of spiritual energy bomb in heaven.

Quantification is the prerequisite for mass production. This formation is not that intelligent. If the quantity of raw materials is changed at will, there will definitely be problems, unless Jaehaerys is willing to start the process of hand-rolling spring thunder again, but the output is low. Pitiful.

"We can put the spring thunder into the trebuchet on the ship and throw it into the enemy's trebuchet and crossbow positions!" A young captain suggested.

The more he talked, the more excited he became, "We can even put a dozen spring thunders together and project them together to increase the coverage area..."

"When the enemy's trebuchets and catapults are finished, we can approach the docks and use crossbows to shoot and burn their docks, docks, and ships. What's the use of having more infantry?"

Everyone scratched their heads and wondered why they had never thought of such a simple truth. Many warships would install small trebuchets for naval battles or to attack the gates of waterside castles, but no one had ever thought of confronting trebuchets on land. boom.

The main reason is that the range and weight of the stone projectiles of small trebuchets are not enough to compete with the giant trebuchets on land.

But I didn't expect that the weight of Spring Thunder would be a burden for the Scorpion Crossbow, but would it be considered a der for the Trebuchet?

As long as the weight is appropriate, the spring lightning can be fired at the opposite trebuchet, but the enemy will not be able to hit its own ship!

As soon as the young captain proposed this idea, everyone's thinking immediately started to diverge. They focused on using their own strengths to attack the enemy's weaknesses, and even proposed using crossbows equipped with spring thunder to attack the enemy's infantry and cavalry phalanxes.

Listening to everyone's discussion, Jaehaerys instantly had the three-dimensional attack mode of modern warfare.

"What is your name, Ser?" Jaehaerys asked the young captain.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, my name is Jones Weishui, everyone calls me Jones from Flea Bottom..."

"Very good, Jones! You have a good idea. What is your current position?"

"My humble position is the acting captain of the Swordfish, the second squadron of the Royal Fleet Patrol Team..."

"Okay, you can remove the pronoun... Now let's discuss in detail how to deploy our troops..."

After a whole day of discussion, a complete attack plan was finally formed.

This mode of discussion is relatively new to the captains of the Royal Fleet. Everyone has a strong sense of participation. The collision of various inspirations has generated heated discussions and repeated verifications. In the end, the best is selected to establish the most appropriate and stable tactics to maximize the killing of the enemy while preserving oneself.

In the past, the commander-in-chief of the Royal Fleet issued combat orders, and then each ship fought freely. The victory or defeat of the battle depended largely on the commander-in-chief's personal decision-making level, the strength of both sides, and the illusory luck.

Even infantry and cavalry are roughly the same.

Even if the wisdom of the crowd is gathered, it is limited to a few lords and nobles. It is not like now that an ordinary captain (non-noble) can boldly offer advice.

After the agreement, Jaehaerys asked everyone to rest in the guest room of Dragonstone Castle. Only when they set off could they return to their ships and then announce the specific combat mission.

The main reason is that there are still too few internal security spies, and there is no way to monitor all ships, and this operation is too important! He can't help but prevent someone from jumping into the water!

I believe Robert will definitely be willing to pay a title and fiefdom for this information. The so-called loyalty is just because the chips of betrayal are not big enough! In this world, what else is more attractive than a title and a fiefdom? And these are exactly what Dragonstone lacks!

In the final analysis, there are too few cards in my hand. Alas, people can't always live in the so-called dreams and honors, otherwise... I suggest that Queen Leila ascend the throne as queen first? Otherwise, it is a bit unequal to the status of the Iron Throne!

As for the lack of the coronation of the High Septon, it doesn't matter. Dragonstone has its own monks and can still apply holy oil!

Of course, if the problem of the fiefdom is not solved one day, even the honorary title cannot be compared with Robert, it can't be compared at all!

Alas! The solution is a long way to go. Jaehaerys rubbed his swollen eyebrows and decided to put aside these troubles for the time being and educate the naughty child. Before leaving, he said that he would personally train Viserys after returning. People should be honest! I, Jaehaerys, definitely don't do this because I can't stand his careless and arrogant attitude!
