Chapter 310: War
As soon as this statement came out, the entire ninja world was "hehe".
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this war was completely provoked by Konoha single-handedly, and the so-called maintenance of the ninja world hé píng is full of irony when it comes out of their mouths.
However, whether it is watching the lively countries, or the high-level leaders of the three countries as the parties, they all believe that Konoha will definitely keep its promise!
It's not because of how good Konoha's reputation is, but now everyone can see that Konoha wants to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight!
It's a good Konoha to force the three top powers in the ninja world to fall into a miserable war just by relying on a simple economic policy, but it doesn't cost a single soldier to achieve the goal of weakening the neighboring country. Even if they knew about Konoha's sinister intentions, now the three kingdoms would not be allowed to continue on the path planned by the other party.
After receiving the news, Hanzo immediately ordered the whole army to rush back to Yuyin Village as soon as possible, and he himself led a team of ninjas to cut off the rear himself.
Although he knew that Konoha was unlikely to go back on his word, he still chose to be cautious, which shows how cautious and suspicious his personality is.
After learning of Hanzo's complete withdrawal, Rope Tree ordered the entire army to continue to stay in the camp for training, and strictly ordered the ninjas under his command not to cross the border for a single step, and even the reconnaissance ninjas did not send one.
He knows Hanzo's suspicious personality very well, and in order to let the other party fight desperately with the two countries at ease, he naturally won't make trouble at such a time. When the three of them are exhausted, the direction of the battle will naturally be controlled by him, and there is no need to rush it now. And with the help of the Shadow Division, he knows the information of the Land of Rain well, so there is no need to send a ninja team to investigate.
What happened next was as expected by Rope Tree, and after Hanzo hurriedly returned to Yuyin Village, he immediately counterattacked the ninjas of the two countries after only a short pause.
In the battle of the country of vortex four years ago, Konoha shocked the ninja world with a few victories and many consecutive defeats of the four major ninja villages, which made the prestige of Rope Tree Skywalker and at the same time, it also gave the high-level leaders of various countries a new understanding of the way the ninja world war was played.
The guerrilla tactics pioneered by Rope Tree were also probed and restored by spies from various countries by all means, and then placed on the table after being recorded in a book.
Over the past four years, various high-level officials have repeatedly studied and analyzed this tactic countless times, and thoroughly analyzed the advantages and disadvantages of guerrilla tactics!
It turns out that the wisdom of ninjas cannot be underestimated, especially when it comes to warfare that they are good at.
After a period of time, the high-level leaders of various countries found that although the guerrilla tactics were exquisite, they were not as invincible as they seemed on the surface, and the key to this tactic was intelligence and logistics superiority, so the wise men of various countries quickly came up with a series of countermeasures!
Of course, the simplest and most brutal scorched earth tactic was the first to come to mind, and the policy of increasing troops and isolating was also proposed.
The former is easier to do, but it is too destructive and has little benefit, while the latter is time-consuming and labor-intensive, but once successful, it can take the enemy's territory and even the people for its own use, and the pros and cons of both tactics can be determined by the situation.
Although guerrilla tactics have fatal shortcomings, it is still a tactic that can use the advantages of local defense to the extreme, and it is very suitable for ninjas whose mobility ability is far beyond ordinary people, and it can create a miracle of winning with less victory and more defeat, so it is highly respected and affirmed by the high-level of various countries!
In recent years, guerrilla tactics have become a must-learn tactic for all ninjas, and even ninja schools have been included in their textbooks, and Skywalker, as the pioneer, is known as a master of the art of war.
As the leader of Yuyin Village, Hanzo has no intention of government affairs, but it does not mean that his IQ is not good, so he has also conducted in-depth study and research on the guerrilla tactics of the famous ninja world.
Knowing that his troops were absolutely weak compared to the two major ninja villages, Hanzo did not choose to lead his ninja army to directly confront the enemy after returning to Yuyin Village.
Instead, he took the towns around Yuyin Village as a base, and ordered his subordinates to form multiple guerrilla units with thousands of people to carry out indiscriminate sneak attacks on the sand ninja and rock ninja in the west!
Due to the fact that the forces of Sand and Iwakure were seriously dispersed in order to loot supplies as soon as possible, and there was no sufficient preparation for Hanzo's return in advance, coupled with the fact that Yu Shinobi was familiar with the country and had the cooperation of refugees who were full of hatred for the ninjas of the enemy country, the guerrilla warfare had caused heavy damage to the ninjas of the two ninja villages at the beginning! A large number of Iwa Shinobi and Sand Ninja squads, who were scattering and looting, died in a sneak attack by the Rain Ninja guerrillas.
After receiving the battle report that the ninja army under his command had been attacked and suffered heavy casualties, Kazekage and Tsuchikage, realizing that the situation was not right, ordered the entire army to shrink their forces and gather at the headquarters base.
After the casualties were counted, the two of them were even more angry and gritted their teeth, it turned out that in just one day, Sha Yin and Iwakuin had lost thousands of ninjas respectively, such a heavy casualty had far exceeded the total casualties caused by the melee between the two sides in the past half a month!
So the two of them chose a temporary truce with a very tacit understanding, and once they pointed the spearhead at Yuyin Village.
After learning that Hanzo was using guerrilla tactics, Kazekage and Tsuchikage, who were annoyed by the heavy losses of their ninjas, chose the most brutal scorched earth policy as a response, abandoning a softer quarantine policy.
The reason why the two made this choice was not just that they lost their minds and wanted revenge, but for another reason!
After nearly half a month of wanton looting, the two ninja villages have obtained a large amount of supplies, which is enough to ensure that the ninja under their command does not have to worry about logistics during the 1 zhǎng period.
Moreover, after unrestrained looting, the order in the west of the Land of Rain has been completely chaotic, and it is impossible for this area to provide any convenience for the ninja armies of the two countries in a short period of time, and the refugees everywhere will become a drag!
What's more, the primary purpose of the two countries' expedition to the Land of Rain this time is not to expand their territory, but to open the road to the Land of Fire as soon as possible and solve the crisis at home! Whether it's resuming trade or directly attacking the Fire Nation to loot, Yuyin Village is a stumbling block that must be removed!
Therefore, the scorched earth policy that works quickly and crudely is the most suitable choice!
After receiving the order, the two ninja armies of Sand and Iwain poured out their nests and concentrated their forces to gradually advance on the large and small towns west of the Land of Rain, and everywhere they passed were turned into scorched earth by flames, and the continuous rain could not stop the spread of the fire of evil.
Under the threat of death, the suffering refugees have to leave their homeland and flee to the east of the Land of Rain!
Men, women, the elderly, and children huddled together and walked mightily under the gloomy sky, crying, numbness, and resentment everywhere. A significant number of people have collapsed on the dirt roads, reduced to unattended corpses, and the few survivors who arrive at their destination will soon find that it is not paradise either, but just another cold, beautiful looking hell.
