Chapter 1159 Failed Attempt
"I think so too, but I've tried several times, but I can't find it or solve it." Sanwei shook his head, "You can't drive all the children away, right? That would be driving them to death."
Dong Rui interjected: "Whether the Yao army can catch up or not, the top priority is to leave Baitou Ridge first. Well, how about using the small moving mountain formation? As long as we rush to the edge of the barrier and use reasonable terrain, we might be able to teleport out and escape the siege. . The price is just a little Xuan Jing, maybe a few years of life, can you afford it?"
He knew that He Lingchuan had a complete set of Xiaomoshan Formation talismans in his hands, which were trophies captured from the Tiangong Duyun Envoy. This thing is so useful that even when he was most short of money in the early days of running the Yangshan Islands, He Lingchuan was not willing to sell it.
Before Sanwei could answer, He Lingchuan shook his head and said, "Within the forbidden escape barrier, the Small Moving Mountain Formation is also ineffective."
"What?" Dong Rui didn't believe it, "Are you sure?"
"OK." Yuheng City has tried it in Panlong World. "Otherwise, it would be much easier to siege the city. Even if the defenders activate the forbidden escape barrier, they can just use the Small Moving Mountain Formation to send people in to cause damage."
"...Okay." Dong Rui has never fought before, how would he know this?
"I tried to break the barrier, but failed." The three tails stretched out their paws and drew two circles on the sand. "I sent the children to sneak attack two places where the talisman was buried, and successfully dug out the talisman, but the result was The boundaries have not been broken.”
After saying that, it pushed out two talismans from its side.
These two things look like cymbals, round with a bulge in the middle and flat edges. He Lingchuan knew at a glance that these were two pieces of the entire set of talismans. They had to be buried underground or mounted on a wall, and then combined with other components to be effective.
"You can't be sure how many talismans are in this set, right? This large talisman array may have twelve, thirty-six or even forty-eight talismans, and usually follows the principle of '30% tolerance'. That is to say, as long as the damaged talisman does not exceed 30% of the total number of the complete set, it can basically continue to operate. "This is because there are many unexpected factors in war, and it is impossible for all talisman to be intact, and the enemy will also wait for opportunities to destroy it, so the talisman array will be destroyed. It was designed like this very early on.
He Lingchuan continued: "Unless you can destroy more than ten talismans in one go, it will be difficult to make the barrier ineffective. This thing is either buried in the soil or surrounded by troops guarding it. Isn't it difficult to deal with it?"
In fact, there is another situation that he did not mention, that is, the more enchantments there are in the whole set, the lower the maintenance rate is. For example, there are thirty-six talismans in a set of formations, and after using them this time, there are still 29 intact. When the users see that the formation is still effective, and the damage rate has not reached the 30% warning line, they are too lazy to repair it.
Human nature dictates that He Lingchuan discovered this problem when he inspected the boundaries of Yuheng City.
But this matter is too random and not suitable for taking risks now.
"It was difficult." Sanwei also admitted, "So I later switched to the offensive formation."
It doesn't matter if a few of the battle array's talismans are damaged, but if the formation's eyes are broken, the entire barrier will be broken immediately.
The idea of solving the problem sounds correct, but He Lingchuan is more concerned about why it failed: "What went wrong? Didn't the position of the formation eye be found?"
"When you find it, follow the enemy general to move." Sanwei raised his head and looked at the sky. "Our bird demon not only found General Chongwu, but also found the formation eye behind him. Every time the formation eye moves, other talismans must move. Move along."
This formation eye is a red round cymbal with a staff grafted on the bottom, which is inserted into the ground and glows with a reddish light in the dark night.
When Dong Rui heard this, he said: "Isn't this a pure trap? You won't fall into it, right?"
"...You have to try it twice before you are sure it is a trap." Sanwei sighed. Whether you are a demon or a human, you will always take a gamble when you are in trouble. After all, you are desperate and "you can't get it."
"What I can reveal to you may not be the real formation eye." He Lingchuan said, "Even if it is true, you can break it or take it away. General Chongwu may have a backup formation eye."
General Chongwu likes to play it safe so much, why should he take this risk? I'm afraid they have a backup plan.
Dong Rui glanced sideways: "Can the formation eye be used as a backup?"
"Why not?" He Lingchuan looked at the lights in the distance carefully, "The battle formations are very solid, and if they are broken, they can be replaced. Some battle formations will even refine two or three formation eyes and replace them at any time. We usually break the formation eyes, What we are fighting for is the small window of opportunity when the formation fails. When the big formation starts operating again, the chance is gone.”
As rare as the formation eye of the Xushan Formation, wouldn't Tiangong also find a way to get a tortoise shell star map as a backup? He Lingchuan asked the big fox demon: "Even if you break the forbidden escape barrier, are you sure you can escape Baitou Ridge in such a short time?"
Sanwei didn't shake his head or nod, he didn't know.
He Lingchuan observed its expression: "Have you thought of other ways?"
"Well, I think since the formation is difficult to break, we can simply attack the heavy-armed general. Capture the thief first and capture the king. As long as he is defeated, the Yao army will be in chaos, and we can take the opportunity to escape." Sanwei said, "So we will do it for the third time We pretended to attack the center of the formation again, and after all the Yao troops went to protect the formation, we concentrated on dealing with General Chongwu, but..."
It shook its head. Although the fox's face could not express any expression, He Lingchuan and the others still felt its heaviness.
"General Chongwu has already prepared an ambush, waiting for us to take action. That's how I got the injury on my leg." Ling Guang was treating its injury, using all good medicine.
"My heirs suffered heavy casualties in these several actions. We had no choice but to hide in the underground palace and look for another opportunity."
Dong Rui bared his teeth. This big demon was really good at saving face. He had been forced to the end of his rope and could only survive, but he still said "find another opportunity".
"Small Moving Mountain Formation, breaking the talisman, breaking the formation eye, killing General Chongwu, these ways are not feasible." He asked He Lingchuan, "What else do you have?"
No matter how he thought, these fox demons were dead.
He Lingchuan's eyes flashed. Indeed, these fox demons had tried several ways for him, which saved him a lot of effort.
It sounds like that General Chongwu is not an easy character to deal with. Yao Jun still has serious Yuanli to rely on. If he tries to attack, the cost will not be small.
In the overall situation where the enemy is strong and we are weak, it is best to avoid direct conflict with the enemy.
Then what other options are there? Choose the best strategy among the thirty-six strategies.
But he had already prepared: "How much do you weigh, 800 or 1,000 kilograms?"
It was the first time that Sanwei was asked about his weight. He was stunned for a moment before answering: "300."
It looks plump, but it is actually very light, mainly because its fur is too fluffy, and it looks like two of them are big.
