Chapter 309 Confrontation
What is Skywalker trying to do? Change the traditional combat mode of ninjas and let them fight in array like ordinary people? History has proven that this method is not suitable for ninjas at all! Hanzo didn't believe that Skywalkers, who were military masters, would not understand this common sense.
In fact, of course, Rope Tree understands this truth, just like in the modern war in the previous life, the so-called platoon formation has long been eliminated, and the bullets and artillery fire hundreds of meters away from the real battle can easily harvest a large number of lives, who would be as stupid as the ancient war period to line up in a dense battle formation? Is it a collective death? Therefore, it is the most correct way to spread out and ensure mobility. And for ninjas who can use ninja equipment and ninjutsu to attack from a very long range, the same is true.
But even in modern times, where scientific and technological weapons are more developed, the army is also inseparable from the training of neat queues!
The arrangement here is not for use on the battlefield, but for training the discipline and quality of the army! Let the soldiers obey the military orders, and learn to cooperate with their companions! And this aspect is precisely what ninjas who are used to being casual and like to show off their personal strength are most lacking.
Discipline and quality are the biggest difference between the rabble and the regular army!
Knowing the mystery, Rope Tree has been training the Shadows through intensive training in recent years, and the more than 2,000 Shadows who went out with him this time are not as good as the first-class army, but they are enough to crush any ninja army in the Hokage world.
In addition to the original team of the last Vortex Country War, there are also elite ninjas from various ninja families and elite ninjas who stand out from the huge civilian population.
Of course, these ninjas have no problem in terms of strength and combat quality, but due to their different backgrounds, they don't have the slightest tacit understanding with each other!
Just like the blood ninjas like Uchiha, Hinata, and Uzumaki, there are naturally a lot of estrangements among their other ninjas, and even a lot of contradictions in private.
And the ninja from the root exudes an aura of being close to the living, and there is even hatred between the dark part, if it weren't for the rope tree pressing, the two departments would have fought a long time ago.
Therefore, although the 70,000 ninjas under the command of the rope tree seem to be huge, once they start a battle, they will definitely fight separately, and they will be no different from scattered sand.
This problem is common in the major ninja villages, after all, ninjas are not professional soldiers but similar to mercenaries, and there are many factions in the major ninja villages, and the forces are intricate, even the shadows of each village have no way to completely integrate tens of thousands of ninjas into a whole.
Once a frontal war starts, it often happens that each party fights each other, which is also the reason why the major ninja villages attach importance to the strong, because only the strong can save their lives and play a role in the chaotic battlefield.
But this person is a bit obsessive-compulsive, he can't tolerate the ninja army under his command to be so chaotic and scattered, like the dark department, ordering and prohibiting, and acting in an orderly and efficient way is what an army should be.
According to the plan set in advance, the purpose of Konoha to send troops this time is to force Shisha Yin, Iwakuin, and Yuyin to fight in the rain and cross the melee, and when they fight to defeat all three, Rope Tree will send troops to take advantage of the fisherman and sweep away the army of the Three Kingdoms in one fell swoop.
And now although Sha Yin and Iwain have entered the game, Yu Yin has been standing still because of the relationship between Konoha and Konoha, so of course Rope Tree will not take the lead.
After arriving at the border, Rope Tree immediately seized this rare time to train the ninja army under his command.
As the so-called leading the array grinding spear is not fast, it is also light, not to mention that the rope tree personally shot is far from being as simple as grinding the spear in battle.
Now that there is a large amount of food and supplies hoarded in the Fire Country, it is more than enough to supply 70,000 ninja troops, so the rope tree has plenty of time and resources to train.
The 70,000 ninjas, no matter which family they came from, whether they were upper ninja or middle ninja, were all broken up by the rope tree and reorganized into seven teams, and under the guidance of the dark department, they had to train in a queue for at least eight hours a day! Along with the three ninjas and White Fang, who are movie-level powerhouses, they must also join in!
The Konoha ninja who was inexplicable about the rope tree's order was originally incomprehensible, and there was some resentment in his heart, but because of his prestige and strength, everyone could only honestly obey his orders.
The quality of ninjas is much stronger than ordinary people, in the previous life of the rope tree, junior high school, high school, three military training before entering college, it only took half a month to magically train a group of completely strange classmates, and this kind of training is easier for ninjas to complete.
So just ten days later, the 70,000 ninja army of Konoha established a tacit understanding with each other, and the original free and casual temperament was swept away, replaced by a disciplined iron-blooded aura! The military rank management system from the dark department, which consists of squad leaders, squadron leaders, group leaders, and chief captains, has also been widely accepted.
Watching the ninja army under his command come and go like the wind with neat steps under the leadership of their respective officers, Rope Tree finally nodded with satisfaction, this is what the army should look like.
The progress on the rope tree side is gratifying, but Hanzo on the other side is already a little unable to sit still!
Although the two armies of Sand and Iwain fought and dragged each other back in the Land of Rain, both sides did not forget to continue to expand and loot supplies.
In the past ten days, nearly half of the land of the country of rain has been conquered, large and small cities have been filled in ruins, and countless homeless refugees are in dire straits. Even the Rain Hidden Village and the capital of the Rain Country are not far from the war zone, and they are in danger of falling at any time.
Hanzo has been receiving letters for help from the top of the Land of Rain every day for more than ten days, and the wording has become more and more harsh.
While under tremendous pressure, Hanzo also realized a serious problem, if he continued like this, sooner or later, the Land of Rain would fall completely, and even if he could keep the 40,000 ninja army under his command, it would be gone, and it would have no effect!
But now that the 70,000 ninja army of Konoha has set up its troops on the border, eyeing him, if he hastily withdraws, in case the Konoha ninja army is chasing and killing behind his back, then even the east of the country of rain will not be able to be saved, and the entire country of rain will fall.
As for taking the initiative to cross the border to attack the Konoha ninja army, it is an act of seeking death, whether it is lost or won, this battle will definitely take a long time, if you can't stop the offensive of Sand and Iwakure, the fall of the rain country will be inevitable!
Hanzo now only feels that it is difficult for him to ride a tiger, and he doesn't know what to do.
At this moment, Konoha, who had not heard from him for a long time, issued a statement again to solve the problem for him!
It turns out that Konoha expressed serious protest against the invasion of the Land of Rain by the Land of Wind and the Land of Earth for no reason, and deeply sympathized with the plight of the people of the Land of Rain, and in order to show support for the Land of Rain, Konoha promised that no Konoha ninja would ever step into the Land of Rain until the war was over. If the Rain Hidden Village is willing to agree to the previous compensation conditions, Konoha can even be blamed for the past and assist the Rain Hidden Village in repelling the invaders!
