Chapter 136: Before the War
However, although such a "game" seems to be safe, it is impossible to "play" like this forever even with the constitution of a ninja, right?
You must know that Iwa Shinobi is not like the Vortex Country Ninja Army, there are substitutes who can take turns to rest, they are all in battle!
"The other party's commander, Lao Zi, how stubborn is this head that will hold on until now? Is he ready to let his men fight with their eyes closed?" Tsunade looked at the wonderful "cooperation" on the city wall in the distance, and said with some surprise.
"Hehehe...... Wouldn't that be great? After holding on to this high-intensity game for so long, with their current state, it would be good to have at most half of their combat power left! Orochimaru said with a sinister smile.
"Rope Tree's choice of sneak attack target is really right. Looks like we're in luck this time! Jiraiya echoed excitedly.
"Huh...... Luck? That's part of the strength! Rope looked at everyone's happy expressions and smiled noncommittally.
In fact, although I am not completely sure of what is happening now, I have a certain expectation in advance.
Lao Zi's stubborn character in the original book left a deep impression on Rope Tree.
When the ghost shark captured Lao Zi, he used to use the water escape to change the terrain, and then used the water escape to restrain the melt escape, but Lao Zi still chose to fight head-on with the other party when he knew that he was restrained, and there was no intention of retreating or transferring the battlefield, and he was finally consumed alive by the ghost shark. From this alone, you can see how brainless Lao Zi is!
And the reason why he was able to control the Four Tails was also because of his hard work! Maybe even the Tailed Beast was defeated by his stubborn character, right? He was the only one who relied on cultivation to control the tailed beast's pillar power.
This stubborn persistence is Lao Zi's strength, but it is also his biggest shortcoming, which can be described as stubborn and stubborn.
Therefore, before the guerrilla warfare was carried out, Rope Tree had already anticipated the current situation, which was the biggest reason why he chose to sneak attack Iwa Shinobi first instead of Sand Shinobi, but he also did not intend to say what he thought. If a person is too perfect, it is easy to cause rejection by others, on the contrary, a person with shortcomings is more acceptable.
"Since the other party's state is so bad, we can still succeed if we launch a sneak attack now, right? Why do you have to wait until 12 o'clock?" Shinnosuke can't wait.
"First, we need time to join up with the ninja army of the Vortex Country, and by then our strength will reach more than 3,600 men, so that we can be more sure and reduce our own casualties."
"Second, by twelve o'clock at midnight, the ninjas in the major ninja villages should have fallen asleep, and the mental state of the rock ninja should also enter a low point, and that is the best time to launch a sneak attack!"
"Thirdly, our goal tonight is not only Iwa Shinobi, but also Sand Ninja, so we must defeat Iwa Shinobi as quickly as possible, and then attack Sand Shinobi, and the Vortex Country Ninja Army is already very tired after a day of fighting, and it will take at least a few hours of repair to recover."
"The lion fights the rabbit and does his best, and in the war, he must increase his own strength as much as possible while weakening the enemy's strength! Don't be negligent because you underestimate the enemy! Because the slightest misstep can lead to the sacrifice of a companion! ”
Rope explained to Shinnosuke the three main reasons why he decided to carry out a sneak attack at twelve o'clock, and at the same time, he also said it to the commanders of the Shinobi around him.
Since seeing Iwa's sluggish state, the ninjas of Konoha know that this battle is won, and there must be many people like Shinnosuke who are eager to fight, in order to appease the anxiety of his subordinates without affecting morale, Rope Tree must give sufficient reasons.
And after everyone listened to what Rope Tree said, they really regained the basic quality of a ninja - calm, and even Shinnosuke was not as impatient as before but began to wait patiently.
The Konoha ninja army also began to rest in place under the explanation order of the superior commander, and recovered the physical strength consumed by the previous long-distance run.
As time passed, more and more ninja troops from the Vortex Country gathered around the Iwa Ninja Foundation, and the Iwa Shinobi, who had not closed their eyes for almost two days and two nights, did not notice that the enemy army was gathering not far from under their noses due to slow reaction and mental exhaustion. All their energy was devoted to dealing with the endless onslaught.
By eleven o'clock, the 3,600 ninja army had been assembled, and although the ninjas on the city wall had changed several batches, the offensive and defensive "game" continued.
Rope Tree gathered all the upper ninjas in the ninja army together and discussed the tactics of the surprise attack in an hour, "Everyone, there is still an hour before the time for action. How do you think you should defeat Iwa Shinobi? Please feel free to speak. ”
Hearing the question of the rope tree, a shinobi of the Uzumaki clan first said, "My lord, why don't we divide into four groups and climb directly onto the city wall to attack?"
Hearing his suggestion, the shinobi present all frowned, obviously not very optimistic about this simple plan of attacking.
Hearing this, Rope Tree smiled and said, "Although our forces are far superior to the other side, if we divide into four ways and attack from the city wall, we will not only scatter our forces but also have to engage the opponent head-on. ”
"And Iwa Shinobi is used to defending on the city wall, so he must have made all kinds of arrangements in advance."
"In this way, not only will we lose the suddenness of the most important sneak attack, but we will also lose our geographical advantage and increase our casualties. So this is the most undesirable method of attack! ”
When the Uzumaki clan's Shangnin heard the evaluation of the rope tree, he laughed dryly and shut up under the contempt of everyone.
With his example in the first place, those Shangnin, who are not good at scheming, consciously closed their mouths, and did not dare to speak nonsense, lest they be embarrassed.
"Hehehe...... With the character of Commander Iwa Shinobi, even if he is attacked by a sneak attack, he will choose to resist with all his strength and will not order a retreat, right?" Seeing that no one spoke, Orochimaru smiled and said something seemingly unrelated.
Jirai, who knew Orochimaru very well about his character, knew that he would not be untargeted, so he took over the topic and said, "Judging from the current situation, this is indeed the case. And with Iwa Shinobi's current situation, even if they want to retreat, they can't outrun us, right? But does it have anything to do with the way you attack?"
"Now that it has been determined that the other side will not flee, then there is no need to disperse the forces for encirclement, just concentrate all the forces and choose one direction to attack! I guess that's what Orochimaru meant, right?" Tsunade said thoughtfully as he looked at Orochimaru.
Rope Tree's eyes lit up when he heard this, which coincided with his thoughts, "Yes, it is indeed the best choice to concentrate all your forces to raid a city wall!" So how should we break the city?"
