Chapter 121 Naval battle, meet on a narrow road! (Seeking a monthly ticket)
The pirate ship returned to Ye Shi Ling Island at full speed.
Ye Mo stood at the stern of the ship, looking calmly at the small black dot in the distance - the mast of Min's Xiancun ship.
After arranging the affairs on the ship, Chang Fei appeared behind Ye Mo.
"City Lord, how many people are here?"
Chang Fei looked into the distance.
He did not see the ships and monks in Min's Fairy Village.
The five Tunu guards only knew that Min's Xiancun ship had come to kill them, but they did not know the specific situation on the ship.
"Many people came to Min's Fairy Village"
Ye Mo nodded lightly and said, "There are more than twenty monks and fifty warriors. It seems that Min's Fairy Village intends to occupy the Red Fire Mine Island in one fell swoop, and has no intention of talking to us at all."
"Twenty monks?"
"So many are here? They shouldn't all come. These strengths alone are already comparable to the strength of our fairy village."
Chang Fei and Wu Wei were shocked.
They are all the core of Ye's Fairy Island and know the strength of Ye's Fairy Village very well.
"City Lord, my subordinates believe that this news needs to be kept secret for the time being and cannot be spread outside. Although everyone calls Ye's Fairy Village home, the enemy is too powerful and will always waver those who are not determined, which is not good for the Fairy Village."
Chang Fei said quickly.
"Well, what you said makes sense. There is no need to let the villagers know about this matter. Sailors on the ship, be careful to keep them secret and don't talk too much."
Ye Mo said calmly.
"Yes, I understand."
Chang Fei nodded.
"The one coming from Min's Fairy Village is a large sea ship, which is nearly two-thirds larger than ours. If we encounter it at sea, do you have any way to defeat the enemy?
I am not familiar with naval warfare. You have been wandering in the East China Sea for many years and have seen a lot. You should have a lot of experience in naval warfare, right?"
Ye Mo asked Chang Fei.
"City Lord, I used to follow Captain Feng Xiongchang. Our ship used to be a pirate, and we would occasionally have naval battles with other pirates. When it comes to naval battles, they are generally divided into two parts: artillery battles and close combat.
The artillery battle relies on the power of the copper cannons of the ships on both sides and the hull's ability to withstand the bombardment. The close combat on the side of the ship relies entirely on the strength of the warriors on both sides of the ship.
With the hull of Min's Xiancun ship and the number of monks and warriors on board, we are afraid that we will be at a disadvantage in both artillery and side-to-side battles.
Chang Fei thought for a while, shook his head sadly.
"Of course, there are other methods. Screwing ships, attacking with fire, luring the opponent to run aground on complicated sea channels, etc. These are relatively rare and rarely used. How to implement them depends on the situation."
"Well, then I'll think about it"
Ye Mo nodded slowly.
Chang Fei felt a little heavy.
As the actual commander of the pirate ship, he had fought more than ten naval battles, large and small, for Feng Xiongchang, so his actual combat experience was naturally extremely rich.
However, the situation is not optimistic about the strong opponents we encountered this time.
Chang Fei left in a hurry, leaving only Ye Mo and Tunu Wuwei, standing at the stern of the ship, looking into the distance.
"This battle is closely related to the future of Ye's Fairy Village."
Ye Mo muttered softly in his heart, looking deeply at the mast of Min's ship in the distance, which had just emerged from the sea.
Victory leads to life, defeat leads to death.
The Min family's ship arrived so quickly, and the Min family's fairy village should be very close to the Ye family's fairy village, probably only one or two hundred miles away. Once the Min family's fairy village wins and gets the resources of 100,000 spiritual stones, it will definitely explode.
of growth.
In this Aolai sea area, there will be no place for Ye's Fairy Village to stand.
A pirate ship docks at the port of Ye Thi Ling Island.
Ye Mo hurried ashore, and as soon as he entered the fairy village, he ordered all the monks to gather at the city lord's mansion.
He even sent out fire crows to call back Mo Ling, Huang Yi, and Gao Jian who were patrolling the mountain peaks in the jungle more than ten miles away.
In the meeting hall of the city lord's palace.
All the monks on Ye's Fairy Island knew that there was an emergency and hurried back one after another.
"Everyone, what do you think about the current situation?"
Ye Mo and others were almost here. He explained the situation on Red Fire Island and looked at everyone in the hall calmly. The battle between the fairy villages cannot be won by one or two people. Naturally, everyone must discuss it together.
Countermeasures.
Everyone was immediately filled with indignation and showed angry expressions.
"Red fire ore? An open-air red fire ore vein. Just a rough estimate is worth more than 100,000 spirit stones. If all are refined into a fire spirit sword, how many spirit stones will it be worth? This will be the largest in our Ye's Fairy Village.
The source of wealth must not be robbed by people from Min's Fairy Village."
Wang Hu suddenly stared angrily, his eyes were on fire, he stood up from his seat and said loudly.
As a refiner, he naturally attaches great importance to mineral veins.
With a large amount of ore raw materials, the production of the refining workshop will definitely be able to advance rapidly and make a lot of profits. The refining skills will also be improved by leaps and bounds.
"Brother Ye first discovered that this Chihuo Mine Island is also within a hundred miles of our Ye's Spiritual Island. It belongs to our Ye's Fairy Village both emotionally and rationally and cannot retreat."
Yang You also stood up and said.
"The key now is not who owns Red Fire Island. It is how to win this naval battle? There is no use in being emotional. They are not as easy to deal with as the two-headed demon eagle on the cliff."
Lin Zhi shook his head and said sternly, "In Min's Fairy Village, the ship is bigger than ours, and the number of monks is also greater than ours. The chance of winning this battle is very small, and it is not good for us. It is best to think of a way, and make a decision before taking action."
"Lin Zhi, are you scared?"
Wang Hu glared and shouted, "Where is the courage to face the monsters? Back then, our group of warriors were weaker than Zheng Yiqing and weaker than the beast tide. Didn't we also defeat Zheng Yiqing and the beast tide?"
"You always have to do things within your capabilities. The monks in Min's Fairy Village are no more powerful than ordinary sea beasts. They only have brute force. A single oversight can lead to a situation that will never be recovered. No matter how cautious you are, you can't be too cautious."
Lin Zhi said unhappily.
"Oh, Lin Zhi didn't say not to fight. He suggested to be careful. The other party is very powerful. You won't be able to fight directly. You have to think of a way. How about using poison? Find a way to sneak to the island and poison the water source.
"
Mo Ling stood up, tried to smooth things over, and made a suggestion.
Yes, you can use poison
Everyone immediately turned their attention to Lin Zhi.
"Of course using poison is feasible, but have you ever thought about where to put the poison? After they get to Crimson Fire Island, they will definitely set up camp and defend it tightly.
Should we poison their water source? The place chosen as the camp must be heavily guarded. How to sneak in and poison it?"
Lin Zhi shook his head and rejected the proposal.
"The feasibility of this is not high. The city master monks will attach great importance to this aspect of the camp. It will be difficult to defeat them by poisoning the water source. We have to think about it again."
Ye Mo also shook his head.
Everyone was in deep thought.
"Chang Fei, how much gunpowder reserves are there on the ship? Also, how much kerosene is there in the refinery?"
Ye Mo had been silent and suddenly asked.
"The gunpowder on the pirate ship is all left over from the past. There are about four or five parts left. It can fire four or five iron pellets. As for the kerosene, you have to ask Wang Hu."
Chang Fei immediately stood up and answered.
"You need to use kerosene to heat up the weapon when refining it, and there are still more than 20 barrels left."
Wang Hu scratched his head and asked, "Brother Ye, why are you asking this? Aren't we discussing starting a war now?"
Several people in the hall looked thoughtful.
"Sure enough, Brother Ye thinks quickly."
Lin Zhi looked astonished, with a clear smile on his face.
"Brother Ye, does he already have a plan?"
Gao Jian frowned slightly and asked with some uncertainty.
Gunpowder and fire oil should be related to fire.
However, I still don’t know how to start.
Because Ye's Fairy Village has these two things, Min's Fairy Village also has them, probably not less than Ye Village. With these two things, can we win?
“There are some ideas, but it’s hard to say whether they will work or not.”
Ye Mo nodded slightly.
"This strategy is very good, and it is estimated that there is an 80% chance of winning. As for the details, they can be changed at any time according to the battlefield situation. There is no need to stick to the city lord. This matter should be done sooner rather than later. Let's set off immediately and wait for the opponent to stop at Chihuo Island.
It’s not easy to gain a foothold, but it’s not easy to succeed.”
Lin Zhi stood up and said in a deep voice.
"Okay, all monks board the ship immediately. Wang Hu, summon all high-level warriors, bring all the spirit wood guns and spirit wood shields, follow Yang You on board the ship, bring five barrels of kerosene and cotton cloth, they will be useful when the time comes."
Seeing that Lin Zhi agreed, Ye Mo immediately stood up and gave instructions.
"Hey, what's the plan? Why don't I know?"
Wang Hu looked confused.
He didn't understand why he was about to set off just in the middle of the discussion?
"Bring the kerosene on board first, you will know when the time comes."
Ye Mo showed a smile.
Wang Hu didn't have too many twists and turns in his mind. It was not easy for him to figure out how to scheme against others.
The entire Ye's Fairy Village was mobilized.
Everyone knew that Ye's Fairy Village was preparing to start a war with another fairy village, and everyone showed excitement.
Of course, they still don’t know that Min’s Fairy Village is stronger than Ye’s Fairy Village. If they knew, they would probably wither away.
Soon, all the monks and high-level warriors boarded the pirate ship carrying the necessary supplies.
The pirate ship headed directly to Red Fire Island.
Passing by a bare island, the front suddenly opened up, and Red Fire Island also appeared in the sight of the monks on the pirate ship.
"Woo"
Suddenly the sound of a horn sounded on the ship.
The lookout held his hands on the top of the mast and blew the trumpet.
"Be careful if you spot an enemy ship thousands of feet away."
The entire ship immediately went into alert mode.
It turned out that a large sea ship was hiding on the other side of this small island, waiting to block the way of ships from Ye's Fairy Village. They had long expected that the ships arriving at Ye's Fairy Village would pass by here.
Prepare for an ambush here.
"Turn left three times, avoid and distance yourself at full speed"
Chang Fei shouted loudly to the helmsman from the wheelhouse in the center of the ship, and then hurried to the bow to direct the artillery battle that could break out at any time.
Thousands of feet away.
On a large ship on the sea, a group of monks appeared.
The person leading the group was a young monk in Chinese attire, the Lord Min of Min's Immortal Village.
His face was full of pride at this time, as if he had everything under control, "Haha, I said, this ship of Ye's Fairy Village cannot escape the hands of this city lord. Now it comes true. I knew they would
Came here very quickly, even after waiting for a long time.”
"Who is the city lord of Ye's Fairy Village? Come out and answer the question."
He said a few words to the people around him, and then immediately shouted loudly, asking to see Ye Mo by name.
"Captain Min, what are you planning to do by blocking the road here?"
Ye Mo stood near the boat and asked in a deep voice.
"Haha, it's really interesting. What do you think I want? Lord Ye City, you have already crossed the line. Passing from here is the territory of my Min Family Fairy Village. All the islands are my Min Family's sub-islands. I am here without you.
I’m warning you, it’s best not to go any further, otherwise, don’t blame me for sinking your ship regardless of the friendship of the Immortal Alliance.”
City Lord Min laughed loudly.
"Bah, shameless"
Wang Hu vomited heavily and cursed loudly, "We obviously discovered that mining island first. It is a branch island of our Ye's Fairy Village. When did it become yours?"
