readx;?“ No, there's nothing to avoid, because we're paper nets, and it's piranhas that we're going to catch......" Zhao Kun's face was hidden under a blank mask, making it impossible to fathom his joys, sorrows, and sorrows. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoEven if it's a subordinate who has been following him, it's hard to figure out what he's thinking. "So, it would be nice to muddy the water."

He paused, looked around, and noticed that everyone's attention was being drawn. "Many of you are on a mission with me for the first time. According to the rules of the Dark Ministry, I don't know who you really are, and I don't need to know. So I would like to reiterate the principle that I have always adhered to - do not give up, do not give up. I'm not going to give up on the mission, and I'm not going to abandon my teammates. So you don't have to worry at all, because I'll try to bring you back alive. ”

"We don't know exactly how many people are in the forces of Iwa Shinobi and Sand Shinobi, or even whether we are facing Iwa Shinobi or Sand Shinobi. However, based on the available information, the total number would definitely be more than 10 times ours - in order to intercept the enemy of unknown routes, our line was laid out very widely, like a mountain range of thirteen kilometers, with only two teams. ”

"This means that when hordes of enemies pass through this area, and when they discover our tracks, if they can't respond at the first time, we will face ten times as many enemies as they converge from all sides -- from this point of view, the first step of this defensive battle, the search for the enemy can be completely omitted -- in this case, not to mention fishing, it is good to be able to ensure paper nets."

"There is a huge disparity between us and foe, and the big men sitting in the command headquarters do not really want us to keep the enemy out of the border. The real goal is to probe or attrition, delay the enemy or some other target, but it will definitely not be the one we receive. So, as a captain who has the right to make decisions on the spot, I don't plan to defend the defense zone to the death. ”

In the old Warring States period, the samurai, who were the main force of warfare, led a large number of conscripted peasant soldiers to move in a legion-like manner on the chessboard of the earth. Thousands of ashigaru, under the command of the samurai, gathered into some kind of regular formation to march, and a whole battle may only involve a few fronts and a few troops.

However, ninjas are different, with too few people and unconventional mobility and concealment abilities, and ninjas often have embarrassing consequences if they adopt a centralized battle mode.

- With both sides trying to hide their tracks and try their best to avoid the other's detection, two groups of ninjas gathered together are likely to pass by on the "big map" and then break into each other's hinterland to slaughter.

In terms of the ninja's lethal ability, this is a consequence that is difficult for both sides to bear.

So, with the "squad" as a unit, try your best to spread out the formation, preemptively spot the enemy and launch an attack. Then concentrate the superior forces and take the engagement point as the core to start a fight layer by layer. This is the "optimal" combat mode that ninjas choose after following a certain balance.

It's like two big nets that open to each other.

It's just that, under this huge gap, once this net of Konoha comes into contact with the opposite side, it will be surrounded and strangled by a much larger net. No matter how much you struggle at that time, it will be in vain under such a big gap.

Therefore, the team led by Zhao Kun and others has always maintained a relatively long distance from the boundary line to facilitate improvisation. And he retreated a little further.

If possible, position your teammates on either side to move forward, relying on the vision advantage of the White Eye to avoid large enemy forces. Once the rest of the teams have fought the enemy and attracted attention, it's time for the team to act. It's just that this is quite suspicious of betraying teammates, so it can't be declared.

Zhao Kun looked at the team members calmly, and saw the shadows of the clouds slowly moving, obscuring the sunlight overhead, before he spoke. At the same time, the voice was a little louder, as if to remind everyone to pay attention: "I'm not going to stick here." I will lead you to avoid the enemy's large forces as much as possible. In this way, even in the event of a battle, the commander of the opposing unit could not delay the entire march plan because of a small detachment. And our opportunity is after friendly forces engage with the enemy. When we have gathered enough strength to encircle and strangle the other teams, that's when we launch a surprise attack. At best, they will carefully send relatively elite ninjas as vanguards, searching for and guarding against other support.

"After discovering us, this batch of vanguards will also shrink, trying to annihilate us with superior forces."

He straightened up and glanced at the expressions of the two.

"But we will not engage them here, but will continue to advance into the enemy's borders and fight in their soft heartland. We are not fishing nets, our task is to rely on fragile paper nets to muddy the water and pull enough space before being trapped in this enemy net. In this way, providing support to teammates, whether it is forcing the opponent to divide troops or attracting the opponent's main force to turn around, can achieve the purpose of defense in disguise. As for fishing? We have our own professional fishing nets to do it. ”

Whether it was fishing in troubled waters or encircling Wei to save Zhao, anyway, Zhao Kun didn't plan to face the other party here.

It's like the other side will inevitably send elites to infiltrate and assault as strikers. The dark team distributed in this mountain range, that is, the border between the two countries of Zephyr and Turkey, is also the team with relatively stronger mobility and propulsion in the Konoha army.

Even the Hokage was not sure that he would be able to break through the siege of the enemy more than ten times without reinforcements - otherwise the second Hokage would not have died. Therefore, pulling out enough space for activities and not being compressed into a small space is the method that can ensure survival to the greatest extent.

"In an area where the enemy's strength is superior, the greater the movement, the more attention the enemy will have. However, the consequence of passive combat is that there is no room for one's own side and subsequent reinforcements, which ultimately leads to the overall failure of the battle plan. ”

The cold meaning in the eyes of the captain with a pure white mask made both of them feel a pang in their hearts, and the man in the crow mask secretly shouted "here" in his heart.

"Even if it's a paper net to catch sharks, we have to do it, and we have to."

The clouds finally completely overshadowed the col, and the shadows stretched to the other side of the hillside.

The ninjas in the team couldn't help but look at each other.

There is no high-sounding rebuke that is common in Konoha, and there is no high-spirited encouragement. The Dark Squad Leader, who was supposed to be clamoring for all kinds of doctrines and sacrificing the will to sacrifice fire, as he was in normal times, just laid out all the unfavorable truths in front of them when the big war was about to start, and then told them that there was only one way to go now...... Is this probably a morale-boosting approach?

Feeling the atmosphere that was gradually becoming uneasy, Zhao Kun stood up disapprerovingly, tensed and then relaxed the muscles of his whole body, moved his body a little and met with his eyes with the ninjas under him one by one, and then looked up at the sky, without deliberately controlling the volume: "In short, follow behind me!" Then fight! ”

The concise and clear command seemed to have a better effect, and the ninjas in various masks lowered their heads and replied in unison, "Yes! ”

It was a little darker again, and a light rain began to fall.

Snort, sneer.

The sound of kunai dragging on the rocks came from far and near, and a figure landed at the mouth of the mountain.

"Captain......

The person who came showed a pair of pure white eyes, and Zhao Kun turned his head and nodded at him.

"The enemy has come, it's Sand Shinobi."

"Good! It's hard work, let's go back! Zhao Kun shouted, "Finally, check the equipment and medicines on your body, prepare the team, and prepare for battle!" ”

A gust of wind blew, and in the air, in addition to the rain, there was also a trace of cold killing intent.

"Forward, the enemy is in the Land of the Wind!"

――――――――――――

Ninja! Flame Blade!

A layer of dim red brilliance instantly attached to the blade of the sword, and it slashed through the air rapidly.

Bite.

Sand Shinobu reluctantly lifted his kunai and blocked the sword light, while throwing the kunai backhand he was holding towards the enemy with his other hand.

But before the joy appeared on his face, the chakras on the swords began to vibrate disorderly and wildly, following their nature, and exploded into a puff of flames.

Boom.

The stream of blazing flames erupted at such a close distance, and the temperature was far higher than the normal Fire Escape Ninjutsu...... The sad fate of the sand ninja is not known.

Smelling the aroma of roasted human flesh in the air, Zhao Kun retracted the knife in his hand and interrupted the output of Chakra at the same time. At this time, the shadows around him also eliminated the guy they were besieging and quickly approached him.

"How?"

"It's okay, twelve to four, basically no consumption." The dark part of the Hyuga clan replied.

"Very good, then let's continue to rush forward, don't care about anything else, and rush to the country of the wind in one go!"

"Yes!"

――――――――――

He didn't carry out the mission of sniping the enemy at all, but moved forward quickly in a group of rapid squads.

"Down from this mountain road, there is the Land of the Wind, Captain."

Under the cover of the empty mask, Zhao Kun's expression was completely invisible, and at the same time, his voice was also calm. "How many groups of enemies have we encountered, Raven?"

"Three teams."

"I've been walking so long and so far before I come across three teams of enemies...... It seems that the enemy will either be small in number or go to besiege the friendly forces. I hope it's the number of problems caused by the fact that the main direction of attack of the sand ninja is not here. ”

"Shall we move on, Captain, then?"

"Go ahead?" Glancing at the ninja who was speaking, Zhao Kun said angrily: "Of course we move forward." Move, and don't wait for the enemy to gather all his strength to besiege us. ”

"Anyway, move on. However, because we don't know whether to declare war this time is a regional friction or a war, we should not show the banner of our village. ”

He made a statement.

"Yes, Captain!" The voices of the group were not passionate, but they were all low and powerful.

――――――――――

In the territory of the Land of Rain, behind the Konoha Dark Front, in a small camp.

"Captain Yamanaka, there's news ahead."

A short and fat young man with a wide body and a fat body, but his steps were slightly vain, walked in with a battle report and spoke.

"Say." Yamanaka Ergou slowly massaged his temples, a little tired.

"The 2nd Squadron, which had been stagnant in the rear area of the buffer zone, under the leadership of Captain Nara Red Deer, advanced 5 kilometers in its entirety, and found no trace of the enemy's large forces, and is now entering the territory of the Land of Wind, and will continue to advance, and is expected to completely disconnect from the command center after thirty-seven minutes."

Yamanaka's nerves, which had awakened slightly from hearing the name of the Nara red deer, became more painful from his subordinates' next words.

"Advance first and report later...... And is this a rush to attack the enemy and save it? Forget it, what about the battle reports of the squadrons on either side of him? ”

"Well, Captain Yamanaka, because Captain Nara and they are out of the range of psychic and radio contact, this news is actually from another squadron...... Also, the troops on the west side of the second squadron have been caught in a local siege and are fighting hard......"

"Wait for your allies to be besieged and choose to break through?" Yamanaka pinched his thigh, and with the sharp pain, he was able to concentrate his scattered attention in exhaustion.

"According to the information left by the last radio contact of the 2nd Squadron, they were interspersed diagonally to the rear of the 3rd Squadron, which was under siege, and they asked the other squadrons to follow."

“……”

Yamanaka didn't speak, he strode to the map hanging on the side of the tent, and the young man who was making the report followed quietly.

Orochimaru's previous order did have the content of asking the squadron leaders to "improvise", but he didn't expect that someone would do this at the beginning of the war.

This authority to modify the Supreme Commander's directives is obviously to respond to the situation on the fly during the engagement. For example, if a captain suspects that the enemy has made tactical adjustments, and the enemy's movements and location are unknown, he can adjust the team according to his own judgment, even if he enters the other people's defense area to merge, without having to follow the previous order.

-- Of course, if you make a mistake in judgment and let go of a large number of enemy troops, it will look good.

"Messy guy! How could the Nara family have such an outlier? ”

This guy is really messing around, is this going to go up directly to outflank or to attack instead of defending? Er Gou was a little depressed and a little angry thinking, but fortunately, the other teams did not follow the second squadron, and the overall situation on the front was still within the controllable range.

The most urgent task now is to confirm the enemy's movements.

As Orochimaru's deputy, Yamanaka Ergou is a veteran who has fought many times, and he knows very well that it is simply impossible to get the enemy to act exactly as he wants, so in addition to trying his best to think about how to deal with it, the man in charge of connecting the various squads has no unnecessary emotions in his mind at all. Chapter 25 is as traditional as class solidification! (To be continued.) )
