Chapter 24: The Battlefield That Continues
The war continued, and after a few days of lull, the war between Senju and Hagoromo began again.
After many days of mobilization and deployment, the Feather Cloak Clan mobilized a large army to launch a lightning raid under the leadership of Hagorobe Ken, planning to defeat the troops of the Thousand Hand Clan in one go and pull out the temporary station of "Yan".
However, Senju Shigema, the commander of the Thousand Hands Clan, would not let Ken Yuroi's plan succeed. This location of the "Yan" station is a transit station for the Thousand Hands Clan on the outskirts of the Congyun Forest, responsible for the security and strategic support of the right flank of the Chinese army. The loss of this station means that the right flank of the Chinese army is exposed to the enemy's blade, and the initiative on the battlefield will be lost.
So, Senju Shigema commanded the troops to launch a counterattack. But this time, the feather coat clan came prepared, not only the number of troops reached 3,000, but also the quality was greatly enhanced. There are more than 30 people in the upper ninja alone, including four elite upper ninjas, more than 1,300 middle ninjas, and the lower ninja is not remembered. In addition, there is also the film-level master of Yu Yi Ken.
In the case of complete disadvantage, a thousand hands can only lay heavy fortifications, with more than 1,800 people in their hands to defend the mainstay, fight positional warfare, and at the same time ask for help from the rear.
Above the position, Ken Haromo is directing his troops in battle. Two days have passed since the battle, and although the triple defense line of the Thousand Hands has been broken in succession, the strength of the Thousand Hands troops has not suffered too many casualties, and the Feather Cloak Clan has not eliminated the living force of the Thousand Hands Clan.
"Fire Escape Force Preparation!" A shinobi organized troops on the front line to storm the defensive positions of a thousand hands. At the sound of an order, thirty ninjas stepped forward to seal and cast a spell, "Fire Escape, Fire Flame Bullet Technique!" ”
Thirty balls of flame erupted from the mouths of the thirty ninjas, roaring and rushing towards the Thousand Hands Position, and the flames that burst out for a moment seemed to obscure the sunlight.
"Attention! Defense! "Water Escape, Water Array Wall!" "Dirt Escape, Earth Flow Wall!" The water curtain and the earthen wall erected a defensive net at the front of the Thousand Hands troops, keeping the fire at bay. "Whew!" "Boom!"
The water vapor produced by the intersection of fire and water permeated the position, obscuring everyone's vision; The collision between the fire escape and the earthen wall shook the entire battlefield.
While the Fire Escape forces were attacking, the Feather Cloak Clan was arranging the next round of offensive. "Ranged troops, prepare!" The order was given, and behind the feather cloak, dozens of bed crossbows appeared. On top of it is a meter-long crossbow arrow, and a detonator is attached to the body of the arrow.
"Attack!" Under the command of the responsible forbearance, the crossbow arrows instantly turned into a dark cloud and attacked the enemy under the operation of the troops.
At this time, the troops of the Thousand Hands Clan had just blocked the attack of the Fire Escape, and their vision was still obscured by water vapor, so the high-speed crossbow arrows attacked the formation of the troops without hindrance.
"Ahh Some unlucky people were accidentally shot by crossbow arrows, and many were killed by a single blow. "Quick! Defense! "There are many brave people in the army, and they quickly organized manpower to resist the offensive of the Feather Cloak Clan.
"Boom!" The roar suddenly sounded, and it was the detonating charm on the previous crossbow arrow. The sudden change instantly caught the troops of the Thousand Hands Clan off guard, the defensive formation was directly disrupted, and the number of casualties began to increase.
"Quick! The wounded withdrew from their positions, everyone was on alert, ready to meet the enemy! "A shinobi quickly set up personnel to reorganize the chaotic battlefield. This command proved to be correct, and just as everyone had finished assembling, the raiding force of the Feather Cloak Clan entered the position under the cover of water vapor.
"Up!" When the time came for the hand-to-hand encounter, the troops of the Thousand Hands and the Feathered Clan roared at each other with sharp blades in hand.
"Break through the face with points, increase the strength of the army in this place, and penetrate them! Divide them! Annihilate them! Yu Yi Ken was in high spirits, and pointed his right hand forward and said domineeringly.
"Yes!" The subordinates of the Feather Cloak clan beside him received orders at the same time.
……
"Damn, there are not enough troops! The line of defense is going to be untenable! ”
"Haven't the reinforcements come yet?"
The lack of ninjas caused the Senju clan to suffer heavy casualties under the attack of the feather cloaks, and they were defeated one after another. Just as the defense of the Thousand Hands was about to be breached, reinforcements arrived.
"Quick!" "Ahh Hundreds of ninjas of the Thousand Hands Clan entered the battlefield in time, and the head-to-head duel of kunai, shuriken flying, ninjutsu, and body art was going on. On the chaotic battlefield, physical skills have become the main means of ninja fighting, and some strong ones will also use some ninjutsu to cooperate with the attack, and the addition of the new force will bring the numerical advantage of the feather robe to naught, and the number of thousand-armed troops on the defensive position here has surged, instantly defeating the offensive of the feather cloak.
"Ding!" Kuai collided violently, and a ninja of the Feather Cloak Clan blocked the sneak attack behind him, and before the other party could react, he turned around and kicked the other person away. "Huh??" A strange feeling suddenly flashed in his heart, and he looked at the enemy who had been kicked away, and a feeling of déjà vu surged into his heart. "What's going on? This feeling ......."
"Whew!" Just as he was observing, a figure suddenly appeared, with a flash of bitterness in his hand, and directly attacked the ninja of the Feather Cloak clan. At the critical moment, the ninja of the feather robe clan was also vigilant at the same time, and he did not turn around to resolve the killing style, and attacked the enemy at the same time. For a well-rounded class like ninja, the kunai is a standard combat weapon.
One inch is long and one inch is strong, one inch is short and one inch is dangerous, and Kunai has expressed the danger to the extreme at this moment. Bite! Bite! …… The sound of gold and iron striking was accompanied by sparks. "Bang!" After a powerful leg blow, the two temporarily distanced themselves.
"You...... I've seen you! The ninja of the Feather Cloak said with a gloomy face, "I killed you a day ago!" Why? He couldn't figure out that the person who had died at his hands had reappeared in front of him intact.
"Hmph, who knows......" said the attacking Thousand Hand Ninja meaningfully.
……
"Ken-sama! The assault forces were repulsed, the operation failed! ”
"I see it!" Yu Yiken frowned and looked at the position not far away. The forces of the Hagoromo clan were constantly defeated by the ninja forces of the Thousand Hands clan.
"How so...... At present, the combat strength of the troops is clearly above 1,000 hands, but the offensive still failed. Yuroi Ken thought to himself, "How can there be so many troops of the Thousand Hands Clan, and where did the Thousand Hands Chongma mobilize them...... There is not enough intelligence, so it is a little rash to continue fighting like this...... So ......"
"Order the troops to retreat!"
"Yes!"
"Order the reconnaissance team to find out the number of the Thousand Hands Force!"
"Yes!"
