This year's Warring States was still spent in the flames of war.

On January 11, the Konoha Ninja Village officially declared war on the Wind Demon Clan. The two sides fought fiercely at the Liping Plains Xiekou Ridge, and the first battle of the Konoha Ninja Village was won, annihilating the 300 ninja army of the Wind Demon clan in one fell swoop, including one elite upper ninja, two special upper ninjas, 50 elite middle ninjas and hundreds of ninjas under the strength.

On January 12, the Konoha Ninja Army used Xiekou Ridge as a base to fight against more than 1,700 ninja troops of the Wind Demon Clan, and the two sides entered the stage of trial and confrontation.

At the same time, the tide of war in the northern part of the Fire Nation began to change practically. The Sakurai, Yamashiro, Anlan, and Yuanyuan clans suffered heavy losses in the brutal war, and they were no longer able to carry out high-intensity warfare. Seeing this, at the signal of the Uchiha clan, the feather clan joined the battle. The addition of a strong new force directly suppressed the An Lan and Yuan clans, and finally was wiped out under the surprise attack of the Yuyi clan.

The sudden turn of events caught the Senju clan off guard, and their allies were wiped out, forcing the Senju clan to abandon their secret confrontation with the Uchiha clan and enter the battlefield themselves. Unfortunately, the Thousand Hands Clan, who had lost their allied forces, were isolated, and the war in the northern part of the entire Fire Nation seemed to be clear, and the balance of victory seemed to be tilting in favor of the Uchiha clan.

……

In the blink of an eye, it has entered February, and the war between Konoha and the Wind Demon Clan has begun a new phase. When the high-ranking members of the Wind Demon Clan got the information that Yamamoto Mirai was in Konoha and did not have information about Xiekou Ridge, they immediately changed their previous tactical style.

On February 6, after abandoning their previous cautious temptation, the Wind Demon Clan launched a large-scale attack on the Konoha Ninja Army with all their might.

In the face of the all-out attack of the Wind Demon Clan, the Konoha ninja tried their best to resist and launched an offensive and defensive battle at Xiekou Ridge.

"I have divided the whole army into three echelons, three detachments each, for a total of nine detachments. The first echelon is the melee echelon, which is responsible for engaging the enemy in the broken position and acting as the main force in the counteroffensive; The second echelon is the medium and long-range attack echelon, which is responsible for fire strikes and positional defense in battle. The third echelon is a collection of medical squads, reconnaissance squads and troop logistics, responsible for the logistics and intelligence work of the entire unit...... "On the position of Xiekou Ridge, Ishihara Chiba and other ninjas above the special shinobi are gathering together to arrange combat missions.

"Announce the mission now!" Ishihara Chiba said in a deep voice, "I am in charge of the first echelon, the second echelon is captained by Chenno Yuan, and the third echelon is captained by Makumura Takashi!" The rest of the special ninjas entered the three echelons as the team leader, and the above is over! ”

"Understood!" The crowd replied solemnly. Then all the Konoha ninjas began to act, preparing to deal with the attack of the Wind Demon Clan.

In addition to the 1,000 main battle troops, there are more than 100 personnel belonging to medical logistics. Seventy percent of these personnel are lower ninjas, three percent are middle ninjas, and the original person in charge was a special upper ninja, but now it is Makumura Takashi. In addition to the twenty members of the independent reconnaissance squad and the one hundred ninjas who were assigned over, a total of more than 220 ninjas formed the third echelon.

Takashi Makumura, who is well aware of the importance of logistics support and intelligence networks, has even worked hard to ensure that he can provide logistical support to the front line at any time.

And on the forward position, the second and first echelons led by Chenno Yuan and Ishihara Chiba have already established a perfect defensive line. Three stepped trenches, hard-to-detect traps, and the right depth of personnel defense, everything looks like it's all in place.

"Those guys in Konoha look like they're ...... in two ways" In the distance of the Konoha defense line, the elite of the Wind Demon Clan, Shinobi Shiro, was observing the enemy situation and preparing for the attack later.

"Of course, otherwise it wouldn't have existed for more than two years." A Wind Demon Clan Shangnin next to him sighed.

"Three lines of defense, visually the other party has arranged three hundred ninjas, and there should be ambushes in secret," Wind Demon Shilang muttered, "Judging from their actions, they are all ninjas who have experienced war, and they know how to protect themselves very well......"

"Konoha Village is a force composed of wandering ninjas, and although those ninjas are not in the flow of combat power, they have also experienced life and death." The ninja answered, "And the intelligence says that the wandering ninjas have participated in training camps since joining Konoha and have improved their strength. ”

"Well, in this way, the individual strength of the Konoha ninja should not be weak," no one dares to ignore the ninjas who have experienced the test of life and death, and the elite ninjas of the Wind Demon clan naturally won't, Wind Demon Shirou pondered, "But is the cooperation between these ninjas just as good...... Then give it a try! ”

"Quasi, order the troops to attack in an all-out way!" Wind Demon Shirou said to the Shangnin beside him.

"Hey!"

……

"Attack!!" With a command, the ninjas of the Wind Demon clan began to attack the Konoha ninja's position.

Shout! …… Kunai cut through the air and smashed into the Konoha position like raindrops. Kunai is just an appetizer, and the detonating charm that is tied to consumption is the big one.

"Earth Ninja Casting Defense!" Sitting casually in the trenches, he keeps an eye on the enemy's movements through his perception while directing his own ninjas to respond.

With Chen Yeyuan's order, the twenty Konoha ninjas immediately threw out the ninjutsu pinched in the palm of their hands, "Earth Escape, Earth Movement Core!" ”

The ground in front of the Konoha trench rose in an instant under the joint ninjutsu of the Konoha ninjas, forming a hundred-meter-long earthen wall blocking the front of the Konoha ninjas. The ten-meter-thick walls stubbornly kept the kunai and the detonation charm out.

Rumble! Rumble! …… A deafening explosion shattered the ninja's ears. The earth and rocks flew over, and after the fireworks passed, what appeared in front of the Wind Demon was the stone wall that was still standing despite its cripples.

"Hey, I was actually blocked, I didn't expect Konoha to have such an ability!" A young ninja of the Wind Demon Clan had a somewhat ugly face, and remembered that before the war began, he had been preaching everywhere how vulnerable the Konoha Ninja was to the Wind Demon Clan. But now, the Konoha Ninja's hand ninjutsu is silently illustrating their strength. You must know that a combination ninjutsu of this scale is not something that can be done with earth escape ninjutsu, which is inseparable from the cooperation of the caster and the cultivation of the forces behind it.

"Konoha is not a loose organization, don't underestimate our opponent!" An elite on the side said in a snarky voice.

"Hey!" The young ninja hurriedly adjusts his state and humbly accepts the teachings of his superiors.

After teaching his subordinates a lesson, the elite Zhongnin was puzzled in his heart, according to the previous tactics, they should now charge the other party and strive to break through the defense line as soon as possible, why didn't the higher authorities order it down?

"That Earth Escape Ninjutsu should be the Earth Movement Core, which can be raised and lowered according to the caster's wishes, if I ordered the troops to raid just now, I would be ambushed and counterattacked," Wind Demon Shirou came to a conclusion after careful observation, and then issued an order, "Continue to attack from a distance!" Suppress them with fire! ”

"Hey!"

Kunai's bundled attack of the detonation charm descended again, and Chenno once again asked his subordinates to erect an earthen wall for defense.

"These guys really have money and nowhere to spend it, and there are more than 2,000 detonation charms after this attack!" The grizzled Konoha ninjas who were blown up by the detonation charm expressed envy and jealousy for the ruined behavior of the Wind Demon Clan.

For the Konoha ninjas born from the wandering ninjas, before joining Konoha, the detonation charm was a rarity, and only those ninjas whose strength was above the middle ninja might have one or two. Even the middle ninjas who have detonation charms regard the detonation charm as their killer weapon, where can there be a wind demon clan like this as a conventional weapon.

Although after joining Konoha, the economic conditions have improved, and every ninja has the ability to buy detonation charms, and this time on behalf of the village, the village has distributed ten kunai, twenty shurikens and five detonation charms to each person as personal combat materials, but the perennial habit of "frugality" has made it difficult for Konoha ninjas to use these equipment.

This habit also made Chen Yeyuan and others feel helpless and even in the future, and the future even ridiculed these ninjas as misers, a group of people who were feared by the poor.

In the rear, Chiba Ishihara and Takashi Makumura were observing the battle.

"The Wind Demon Clan is just tempting, but it's not good for us to go on like this......" Takashi Makumura said in a deep voice.

"Our task is to hold back their main forces and buy them as much time as possible for future adults......," Chiba Ishihara said.
