Chapter 372 372 Reef Array
When Wang Yi heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, "Brother Ye is a good plan, if you make good use of this and let him pass on some fake news to Zhu Hua, it can help us." Once the momentum of the five strong towns is gone, Chen Fang will not betray him openly, and we can still use his fleet!".
The warships of the Ten Immortal Town Alliance rushed to the Turen Island at full speed, and there were still more than five or six miles away from the Turen Island. The only deep-water port on the native islands is just across from them. As long as the port is sealed, a large number of warships of the Five Towns stationed in the port and have not yet left the port can be blocked.
But to the surprise of all of them, there were suddenly many reefs around the native islands.
Some small warships in Wuqiang Town surrounded the reefs around the Turen Islands, taking advantage of the terrain and retreating, dragging the entire fleet alive.
Wang's fleet, the flagship of the city lord. Ten city lords gathered in the cabin.
Wang Yi paced back and forth in the cabin with a gloomy face, and from time to time an immortal guard in armor rushed into the cabin to report on the situation on the battlefield.
"When did these reefs appear, the last time the Purple Sword Immortal Palace was opened, there were no such reefs near the Turen Island!"
Zhuge Tian said angrily.
Among all the city lords present, except for Gui Ziang, the city lord of Gui's Immortal Town, they have all entered this native island, although three years have passed, but the specific situation of the native island is still fresh in their memory.
"These reefs are so strange, generally speaking, ordinary reefs, even small warships, can be easily crushed, but these rocks that make up the reefs are extremely hard, and they may even be sixth-order rocks, this kind of rocks, but they are often used to build the walls of Xianzhen, how can they appear in such a ghost place!" Lin Dong shrugged his shoulders and said with a wry smile.
The spirit wood used to build a warship is as hard as gold and iron, and ordinary reefs are difficult to stop at all, while some large warships have arranged some earth-based formations with extremely good defensive effects on the hull, and flying swords are difficult to hurt, not to mention some ordinary reefs.
Wang Yi knew the sixth-order rocks very well, and after listening to Lin Dong's words, he shook his head and said: "Even if it is a sixth-order rock, it shouldn't be able to stop my tiger-type warship, I'm afraid that these reefs didn't appear suddenly, but Zhu Hua and others arranged them here in advance." ”
The city lords began to discuss countermeasures, some suggested that the earth monks should use spells to remove these reefs, and some felt that they would simply launch artillery attacks on these reefs, trying to directly open up a path with spirit artillery.
Just as the city lords were arguing, the immortal guard who reported the battle knocked on the door again.
"Report to the City Lord, we have eliminated twenty-four small warships, but the remaining warships have escaped from our range and are hiding behind the reef group, if we don't clear the reef group, I'm afraid we won't be able to completely annihilate the other party!"
Xianwei's words made everyone silent again, and there was silence in the field, and this Xianwei looked a little embarrassed, and he stood in place, not knowing what to do.
"You go down first, there's a new order, I'll inform you!"
Wang Yi waved his hand and said a little exhausted.
"Yes!" the Immortal Guard Commander breathed a sigh of relief and trotted out of the cabin.
Tong Yuan of Tong Clan's Immortal Town, his face was cloudy and uncertain, and he said: "City Lord Wang, if we continue to consume like this, when we arrive at the base of the five strong towns, I am afraid that the other party's warships have already been deployed and deployed, if we face the main fleet of the five strong towns, I am afraid our chances of victory are still not high!"
Wang Yi pondered for a long time, and really couldn't think of any good way, so he set his eyes on Ye Mo, who had never said a word.
"City Lord Ye, do you have any suggestions?"
Ever since he was summoned here by Wang Yi, Ye Mo had been looking at a piece of parchment in his hand.
The parchment is a map of the reefs around the islands.
As early as the first time he hit a reef, causing a small warship at the front to be knocked and sunk, Wang Yi excluded a number of monks and drew a group of nearby reefs on a map.
This map was copied into ten copies, and each lord had such a map in his possession.
Most of the city lords just glanced at it and tossed the map aside.
The distribution points of the reef groups on the map were very rough, but even so, Ye Mo still saw some strange things.
The proven reef distribution points seem to be randomly distributed around the native islands, but in fact there are hidden mysteries.
The reef group is divided into five areas, guarding the entire Turen island, each reef is about one to four feet deep in the seabed, all of which extend from the submarine mountain range, forming a whole with the submarine mountain range.
Large warships have a shallow draft, and the water depth of one zhang is simply not enough to pass through these reef groups, and although the small warships have a shallow draft, the reef depths are different, and if they cannot grasp the detailed reef distribution information, it is impossible to enter and exit the reef groups at will like the vigilant fleet of the five strong towns.
The mountain body of the undersea mountain range itself is made of sixth-order rocks, and its strength is extremely high, even if it is a large warship of the Ten Towns Alliance, it needs to turn on the defensive formation on the hull in order to barely crash into this kind of reef.
After Ye Mo pondered for a moment, he spoke: "The reef is not naturally formed, and the height of the undersea mountain range is not enough to form a reef in the first place! I am afraid that in the past three years, Zhu Hua has sent a large number of earth-based monks to transform the peaks in the undersea mountain range into various earth-based spells! How did the Wang City Lord deal with these reefs before?"
Earth-based spells can control the formation of mountains and rocks, and with the help of earth-based aura between heaven and earth, earth-based monks can condense spells such as earth-based cones and earth-based shields out of thin air.
Ordinary monks have limited mana, and the terrain they can change is extremely limited.
Fortunately, the mountain range on the bottom of the sea was already close to the level of forming a reef, and Zhu Hua only needed to call in a sufficient number of monks to make these submarine mountains form a large number of reef groups.
"Whether it is sending spirit beast cavalry or spirit artillery bombardment, I have already tried, these reefs are hidden at the bottom of the sea, and the shells of spirit artillery cannot exert their due power at the bottom of the sea.
I've already calculated, if we really want to open up a safe passage with the help of spirit artillery, I'm afraid we will consume one-third of the Xuantie cannonballs, this kind of consumption is not something we can bear, after all, after passing through the reef group, we also have to deal with some of the warships that have been transferred out of the port by the five strong towns, once the ammunition is insufficient, we will become extremely passive!"
Wang Yi explained to everyone.
"Even a reef made of sixth-order rocks shouldn't be able to stop our large warships, as long as we open the defensive formation and consume some spirit stones, we should be able to use our large warships to open up a safe channel!"
Zhuge Tian said with some puzzlement.
All the city lords nodded yes, even if a large warship crashed headlong on the island, it would be difficult to have any damage, the flying sword would be difficult to destroy, and it would be difficult for even a small reef group to pass through.
Wang Yi sighed, shook his head, and said, "Before gathering all the city lords, I also had the same idea and used my own warship to crash into these reefs, but the result of hitting the reef made my heart palpitate.
Originally, the reef was only composed of sixth-order rocks, but after being hit by the flagship, it miraculously withstood the first round of impact, and only a trace of cracks appeared on the surface of the entire reef, but the light shield formed by the set of earth system formations engraved on the hull of the ship disappeared in a flash, almost touching the hull.
Obviously it is a sixth-order rock, but the solidity is far beyond imagination, I even sent a foundation building monk to cut a section of the reef up, but after some investigation, I didn't find anything abnormal, and the part of the reef that was cut up was indeed a sixth-order rock.
I really had no choice but to summon all the city lords to come over and discuss the matter. ”
Wang Yi gave a detailed account of the results of his collision with the city lords present.
Many of the city lords began to whisper, and there was a hint of timidity in their expressions.
I didn't even see the other party's warship, but I was stopped by the mysterious reef they laid down, who knows if there are any mysterious methods for the old and cunning Zhu Hua.
Wang Yi was faintly anxious, and he also knew that once the Ten Immortal Town City Lords present lost their fighting spirit and became timid, the battle behind would be extremely difficult.
"City Lord Ye, the battle situation is urgent, if you have any suggestions, just say it!"
Wang Yi's gaze swept over everyone, and finally landed on Ye Mo, who was silent.
Ye Mo thought for a moment and sighed: "Since the other party is using earth-based monks to change the mountain and create this reef group, we can only send earth-based monks to change these reefs with earth-based spells!"
"Then what are you waiting for, go and gather all the earth monks in the fleet, and work together to cast a spell to remove these reefs and open a sea route!"
Wang Yi was stunned and immediately gave an order.
"City Lord Wang, don't worry, this reef is by no means as simple as it seems on the surface, and it is impossible to change the terrain by sending earth cultivators to it indiscriminately.
The reason why the battleships of the city lord of the king could not crash these reefs was because of the arrangement of these reefs in the seabed, which secretly combined with the way of the formation, and greatly strengthened the defense.
If my guess is correct, Zhu Hua cleverly linked this large area of reefs according to the structure of the formation to form a large reef array.
Although the City Lord's warship collided with only sixth-order rocks, it was against the foundation of the entire magic circle, which caused even large warships to be unable to easily crash into these reefs!"
Ye Mo stopped and said.
"Reef array, reef can be arranged into a magic circle?"
Wang Yi and several other city lords were dumbfounded.
"That's right, the reef can also be arranged! I must find the flaws in this array, and use the earth monks to change some of the reefs, and the magic circle composed of these reef groups will be self-defeating, and how to find the flaws, it seems that I should run it myself!"
Ye Mo said with a wry smile.
The level of the magic circle built by this reef is not very high, and with his means, it is not difficult to find the flaws in it and remove them.
But if it is a monk who does not understand the way of formation, relying on brute force to crack it, it will take a lot of time and energy in vain.
"City Lord Ye knows the way of formation?"
Wang Yi was surprised.
"I know a little bit about it. ”
Ye Mo didn't want to delay, so he arched his hand and said, "The city lord of the king will gather a group of earth cultivators first, and I will go to the bottom of the sea to explore, and after finding the flaw, I will immediately lead people to break the formation!"
