Chapter 556: First Battle
After listening to the explanation of the rope tree, everyone in the main hall suddenly realized.
In fact, the problem of emptiness in the rear of the Land of Rain was of course not only thought of by Hanzo alone, and many of the high-ranking people in Konoha had already discovered the problem before they set off. They thought that the rope tree was preparing to sacrifice the Land of Rain in exchange for the victory of the coalition forces, but no one thought that this was a trap to lure the enemy. If Sand Shinobi really jumped in this time, I'm afraid he could only be wiped out under the attack of the two armies.
However, the village is now short of food and grass, and is facing a large-scale attack by the coalition army, I am afraid that it does not have the courage to risk attacking the country of rain. This trick is just in case.
Hanzo's gloom disappeared at this time, and he complimented with a smile: "Lord Rope Tree has no last resort, and he is thinking too much." ”
Rope tree waved his hand casually: "Your Excellency Hanzo, as the leader, should also care about his country. Now that I have no worries, I would like to ask you to contribute more to the next battle. ”
Hanzo said with a straight face: "Don't worry, my lord, I have a common enmity between Yuyin Village and Shayin, and I will definitely go all out in the next battle!" ”
Rope nodded with satisfaction, although Hanzo is ambitious and not willing to be subordinate, but at least the other party is trustworthy in this war.
The Land of the Wind is a vast and sparsely populated country with towns scattered across the desert that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. This is also the reason why the Land of the Wind is obviously the weakest country in terms of overall strength among the five powers, but it has never been actively invaded by other countries.
If it weren't for the Skywalker Fortress as a support, the Rope Tree would never have taken the initiative to attack the Land of Wind.
The desert terrain of the Land of the Winds maximizes the strengths of guerrilla tactics, but it is not without its weaknesses.
As we all know, water is the most important thing in the desert, so all the towns and villages in the Land of the Wind are built on water, either next to an oasis or above an underground river.
Scattered across the vast desert, these towns and villages make up the entire Wind Country, which is not only a place for civilians to live, but also a resource gathering point and transportation hub for the Wind Country.
If there is an accident at one of the clusters, it is likely that there will be a cascading effect that will cut off traffic.
Even locals who are familiar with the terrain do not dare to travel through desert areas where there are no towns and villages as water sources.
Therefore, if there is an army that is not afraid of harassment and sneak attacks and is not dragged down by logistics, and occupies and destroys the towns and villages of the Wind Country one by one, then it is equivalent to cutting off the lifeblood of the entire Wind Country, and the guerrilla tactics are self-defeating.
And having the Skywalker Fortress and the Divine Tree Cave Heavenly Rope Tree just meets the above conditions. In particular, the Sacred Tree Cave Heaven already has a complete ecological environment, so even if it is not developed and utilized, it cannot produce food, but it can continuously provide the most important water source.
In addition, Rope Tree had already obtained the map of the Wind Country from the Dark Station before making this battle plan, so he knew the geographical location of the Wind Country town very well.
Therefore, for this war, Rope Tree is almost certain to win.
Soon the Skywalker Fortress crossed the eastern border area and came to its first target, East Green Town.
It is a small town built next to an oasis, covered with trees and grass, with a living lake connected to the groundwater, exuding life in the middle of a barren desert.
The population of the town is about 80,000, and it is one of the most prosperous towns in the entire Windy Country.
When the Celestial Fortress descended on this town, in addition to the nearly 1,000 sand ninja guerrillas who followed closely behind, thousands of ninjas had also gathered on the periphery of the town.
It turned out that after receiving the constant information from the guerrillas, the high-level officials of Shayin had basically deduced Konoha's target.
However, they did not expect the coalition to invade in such a way, so they scattered most of their forces throughout the eastern border of the Wind Country, and the hinterland was very empty.
Without knowing the exact strength of the troops inside the fortress, they could only order the guerrillas near the town of East Green to gather for defense.
Only a few thousand people had arrived, and the rest of the guerrillas were too far apart to gather for a while.
After the arrival of the Skywalker Fortress, it did not launch a terrifying number of turrets to fire, but slowly lowered its altitude, hovered dozens of meters above the ground, and released a large number of ropes from the bottom of the fortress.
Soon about 40,000 ninjas slid down the rope to the ground.
And the thousands of guerrillas of the Sand Shinobi have already taken advantage of this time to assemble at the gate of the town.
The 40,000 ninja troops who were put down by the fortress were all rain ninjas, and after nearly a year of patience, their hatred for the sand ninja not only did not decrease in the slightest, but became deeper and deeper.
So after the 40,000 rain shinobi landed, he didn't say a word, and while charging violently, he threw the ninja in his hand to the sand ninja on the opposite side.
The dense ninja equipment rained down, and the difference in strength was nearly ten times, and the sand ninja was simply unable to make effective resistance, and hundreds of casualties were paid in just one face.
At the same time, a figure suddenly appeared in the center of the military formation of the Sand Hidden Ninja Army, and it turned out that Hanzo directly used the instantaneous body technique to break through the air!
I saw that his neck and mouth suddenly bulged like a balloon, and then a huge air stream erupted with purple poison.
"Ninja Poison Spray!"
Soon, the lilac poisonous mist spread and covered all the Sand Hidden Ninja Army, and many ninjas showed symptoms of numbness and difficulty breathing.
Although Sha Yin has already researched the antidote to Sansho fish toxin, it is impossible for everyone to have it because of the lack of preparation in advance, and the high price of the antidote, so there are a lot of sand ninja poisoned on the spot.
Immediately after that, Yu Shinobi, who was wearing a gas mask, entered the army regardless of the threat of toxins.
"Ahhh......h
Hanzo even swung the scythe in his hand and slashed wildly through the crowd, quickly reaping the lives of his enemies.
"Retreat!" After an angry roar sounded, except for the hundreds of ninjas behind the hall who were entangled to death, the other sand ninjas used the wind in their bodies to escape Chakra and quickly evacuated.
The main task of these sand ninja is to find out the enemy's intelligence, try their best to use guerrilla tactics to contain them, and if necessary, abandon the town of Higashiro. Therefore, when the situation is unfavorable, they immediately retreat.
However, Hanzo did not give the order to chase and kill dangerously, but chose to stay where he was and clean up the battlefield.
In just one shot, Sand Hide lost nearly a thousand ninjas, and the casualties of Rain Shinobi were less than ten.
This proportion of injuries made Hanzo very satisfied, and the reason for hesitating about the inheritance and heritage, the individual strength of the rain ninja was generally lower than that of the ninjas of the big countries, so the casualties in each battle were very heavy. In addition to the superiority of troops, he was able to achieve this result today, mainly thanks to the military training of the rope tree.
