Chapter 171: Yun Yin retreats
When Onoki and Tuanzang were each other's ghosts, a piece of information disrupted the rhythm of their fights. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
- Intelligence shows that Yun Yin suddenly stopped the pace of the frenzied attack, and at the same time, the small forces that had been scattered to make trouble were gradually converging, and it seemed that some action was brewing.
The two heroes immediately stopped, looked at each other, and from the clues revealed by the intelligence, they all thought of the worst possibility, that is, the Yunyin troops were going to retreat!
Why did the Yunyin troops, who had been overwhelming all the way, retreat? They must have learned the information that the Konoha troops had come to reinforce them.
Tuan Zang led the Konoha troops to march very fast, and they were also very careful, and Onoki understood the importance of secrecy, and wanted to catch Yun Yin off guard, so after the Konoha troops entered the territory of the land of earth, they also arranged an absolutely secret route all the way.
In the territory of the Land of Earth, it is not difficult for Iwain to keep the movement of a large foreign army secret from Yunyin, who has no knowledge.
Because they couldn't predict the unexpected factor of Sakaki Tree, the two heroes couldn't imagine how Yun Yin knew this information, but in the current situation, if the two sides were so ghostly and didn't use all their minds on Yun Yin's side, they just let Yun Yin run away, which would be extremely unfavorable to both sides.
Of course, he really wanted both Iwain and Yunyin to lose, but before both sides really fought, he shouldn't think too much, at least let the two sides fight fiercely first, and then find a way to use their means.
Perhaps, even if you can't let Iwain and Yunyin both lose, but at least you can't let Yunyin evacuate easily and intact, at least you have to bite off a piece of Yunyin's flesh, Konoha has offended Yunyin to death, and he never wants to face a heyday Yunyin again.
Although Onoki never wants to fight with Yun Yin to lose both, in some positions, he is consistent with the Danzo side.
Onoki would never want Yun Yin to leave so easily and happily, if Yun Yin could easily run away with B like this, it would be a nightmare.
If Yunyin's troops enter the hinterland of the land of the earth, wreak havoc, and retreat with Iwakuin asking for reinforcements from Konoha in their entirety, then not only Onoki himself, but also Iwakuin Village, and even the entire country of the earth will be completely reduced to a laughing stock.
Onoki definitely didn't want Iwakuin to fall to a worse state than Sunagakure, so he had to bite off at least a piece of Yun'in's flesh anyway to save his dignity.
When Yun Yin was about to retreat, the two parties finally let go of their ghost thoughts and united to deal with Yun Yin's great enemy.
Onoki squeezed out the limit of what Iwakuin could draw strength, a total of 6,000 ninja troops, plus more than 1,000 reinforcements from Konoha, a total of more than 7,000 people, known as 10,000, and slaughtered towards the Yunyin troops.
……
One can imagine how angry the three generations of Thunder Shadow were after the information sent by Sakaki was confirmed by their own intelligence officers.
"Iwakuin turned out to be really Konoha and colluded together! Iwakuin also took the lead in fighting Konoha before, but in the blink of an eye, they colluded together! And Konoha, just now we signed an agreement, promising not to be an enemy of Yunyin in any form, and colluding with Iwakuin before the ink of the agreement dried! Both parties are despicable and shameless betrayers, it is shameless, Yunyin is one of the five great ninja villages with these two, it is simply a shame!"
"It's not that a family doesn't enter a family, it's not surprising that two despicable people are embarrassed and traitorous!"
The assistant was also angry, but he saw the angry thunder shadow and knew that he couldn't add fuel to the fire, and he had to exercise his key duty at such a moment.
The assistant cupped his eyes, so as to suppress his anger, and said calmly: "Lord Thunder Shadow is angry, the major ninja villages in the ninja world fight from time to time, today they are enemies, and tomorrow they will become friends, this is the norm." The key is ......"
"This kind of despicable normality shouldn't exist at all!" Thunder Shadow roared gruffly, and then asked, "What's the point?"
"The current situation has obviously begun to develop in a very unfavorable direction for our Yunyin, how should we deal with it?"
"How many troops does the enemy have now?"
"According to our intelligence, the Konoha troops seem to have sent more than a thousand reinforcements, as for the Iwakuin troops, there is no accurate number, but the previous intelligence has shown that the Iwakure side is in the process of general mobilization, with the number of ninja troops that can be mobilized by our general mobilization, although Iwakure is weaker than us, but at least it can gather more than six thousand troops, so it is certain that the enemy's strength will exceed twice ours next!"
"Our Yunyin ninja is definitely the best, even if there are many people on the other side, we may not be unable to win!" said Thunder Shadow through gritted teeth.
The assistant did not comment on this, and continued to analyze calmly.
"I heard that Konoha is a reinforcement led by Danzo, who is second only to the Hokage, and since Konoha is determined to oppose us, it is impossible to be perfunctory, presumably this force will be Konoha's elite troops, I'm afraid it will not be inferior to our Yunyin's elite troops!
Since Iwakuin has been mobilized, it should not be underestimated, and together with Konoha's elite troops, there is both quantity and quality, and this battle is extremely difficult.
Another point, our side is deep into the hinterland of the land of the earth, and we are at a disadvantage in some aspects such as intelligence collection and supply, and in addition, we are now deep into the enemy's territory, and we are already quite far from the sea, once we fail, I am afraid that there is no way to retreat!"
"That's right......" Thunder Shadow's two stiff eyebrows were deeply twisted together.
"Lord Thunder Shadow, the enemy won't give us much time, please make a decision as soon as possible!"
"In that case, let's let go of the old thief Ohnogi and the old thief of Tuanzang for the time being, let's retreat to the beach first, and then you can arrange for a boat to meet you immediately. In the case of ensuring a way out, if the enemy still dares to chase after them at that time, we will beat them the seashore for a while, so that they can know that we Yunyin are by no means easy to mess with!"
Lei Ying may not be as scheming as Onoki and Sarufei, but he has very few concerns, and he is resolute in doing things, and once he decides, he will do it, although he sometimes makes mistakes, but they are basically small mistakes, and this kind of character has benefited him a lot when it comes to dealing with various major things.
Thunder Shadow gave an order, and the Yunyin troops, who had been advancing all the way, turned around, maintained a very steady speed, and retreated towards the sea in a uniform manner.
……
It's a pity that the Yunyin troops only want to retreat at this time, and it is not so easy.
If on the day that Sakaki's information came, Thunder Shadow would have taken the opportunity to lead the Yunyin troops to retreat, then he would definitely be able to retreat with his whole body.
But it wasn't until it took the Konoha troops two days to arrive in the Land of Earth, coupled with the efforts of the Iwakuin side to deliberately cover up the news, that Yunyin's spies took another day of effort to gain accurate information.
In this way, the crucial three days were wasted, and if the Yunyin troops still wanted to retreat, they had to pay the price.
Gradually, under the personal leadership of Onoki and Danzo, who had already unified their opinions, the combined forces of Iwakure and Konoha caught up with the retreating Yunyin forces.
But the Yunyin troops are indeed elite, and while retreating, they are not busy, and the formation has always been very stable, and it is not easy for the coalition forces to want to get down!
After several tentative attacks, the coalition forces did not find a flaw in the Yunyin troops, and the Yunyin troops' will to fight was so strong that it was frightening, and the exchange ratio between the two sides was almost one to two, and the coalition forces belonged to the side with large losses.
What makes Onoki feel even more depressed is that in this kind of small-scale attack, although Konoha troops also participated, the bulk of the losses was always on the Iwakure side, and Konoha's losses were minimal, and it can also be seen from this aspect that Konoha's will to fight is not high, and it is mainly to preserve strength!
In this way, although the coalition forces caught up with the Yunyin forces, and although Tuanzang was also instigated on the side, Onoki was unwilling to launch a large-scale decisive battle immediately.
Onoki wanted to reduce his losses, so he adopted a strategy of high-intensity pressing, but not an easy decisive battle.
Under the instructions of Onoki, the coalition forces continued to send small forces to harass, delaying the retreat of the Yunyin troops while also wearing down the sharpness of the Yunyin troops.
Yunyin's troops fought and retreated, and the battle loss exchange ratio could still be maintained at one to two, but objectively, Onoki's strategy still worked.
Retreat already affects the mentality, and it is still retreating in this endless and repetitive process of harassment, repulsion, and harassment, even the elite Yunyin troops cannot maintain the same momentum as they did at the beginning.
But Onoki felt that this was not enough, he still had to wait for the Yunyin troops to retreat to the seaside, and then completely destroy those ships in front of the Yunyin troops.
At that time, it is the best time to harvest the fruits.
Onoki actually wanted to do this at the beginning, but Thunder Shadow didn't know that the ship was the biggest weakness of the cross-sea attack, so when the Yunyin troops landed, he ordered the crew to row the boat and hide to a small island in the nearby sea to stand by.
But in the context of the retreat of Yunyin's troops, Thunder Shadow would naturally order the ships to come and respond, and Onoki had his eyes on this.
However, Thunder Shadow would never let Onogi's plot succeed, so in the midst of fighting and retreating, he finally let the Yunyin troops stop at a place that was still a day's journey away from the sea.
This place is called Thunderstone Canyon.
The Thunderstone Canyon is long and deep, with towering peaks on both sides, and only a narrow passage in the middle, making it an easy and difficult place to defend and difficult to attack in terms of terrain.
Here, Thunder Shadow led the Yunyin troops to put on a decisive battle posture, launched a fierce counterattack against the coalition forces that caught up, and killed the opponent with an unstable foothold.
Yunyin's troops retreated from fighting and retreating to suddenly stopping to fight to the death, suspicious Onoki felt that there was a problem, and he didn't know where the confidence of Yunyin's sudden decisive battle came from, he didn't want any unexpected factors to lead to heavy losses on his side, so in the case of losing the first move, he cautiously chose to avoid the battle, and camped to confront Yunyin's troops.
At the same time, Onoki sent spies to investigate the problem, and very cautiously set up an eyeline at the exit opposite the Thunderstone Canyon to monitor the possible escape of the Yunyin troops.
It's night, and the moon and stars are scarce.
Thunder Shadow summoned some of the core figures of Yun Yin's army to come to the meeting, including the Abby group, and made an important choice......
