Chapter 230: The Battlefield of Domination
Oct. 12, 3 p.m.
In the well-lit sky, a silver-gray shadow suddenly fell, and the sunlight kept shining on the reflective surface of the body, it was a flying ninja controlled by a human, and it was soaring freely in the sky at a rapid speed.
The body that is too small is made of the most delicate parts, and the body, which looks not much larger than a human adult, not only represents the most powerful military industrial capacity in the ninja world at present, but also means that the battle mode of the ninja world has undergone drastic changes.
In the past, people focused on disputes on land and sea. However, when the flying ninja came out on a large scale, the sky was no longer safe, and once the air supremacy was lost, it meant that one's own fighters would be completely controlled by the enemy.
This kind of special ninja with high mobility, strong destructive power, and air supremacy, if it cannot be contained from the same domain, it will be extremely fatal to any ninja force.
And so it is.
The importance of flight ninja and air supremacy is nothing new in today's era.
But the only one who can do the ultimate in this area is the country of ghosts, which has the most industrial capacity today.
Rows of silver-gray flying ninjas engraved with the mark of the aster flower flew from high in the sky, and unlike the previous flying ninjas, the flying ninjas used by this air force unit carried delicate silver-gray pipes on the flanks on both sides of the fuselage, and the width was about slightly thicker than that of an adult man's arm, and it was a kind of cannon barrel that had never been seen before.
In each of these barrels, a special bomb with a conical head is inlaid with a frightening cold light on the section of the cone when illuminated by the sun, which is unsettling.
A special bomb that looked like it was extremely lethal was brought by this air force.
The size of the force was up to five hundred people, which meant that there were more than a thousand such specially made bombs.
The army crossed mountains and mountains with ease, through forests and mountains, to a deserted wilderness.
However, according to the report of the sentient ninja, there is a large number of chakra reactions, the strength of which can reflect that this is the amount of chakra that only a ninja can achieve.
However, there was not a single person left in the wilderness, and it seemed that only stones and weeds were piled up haphazardly on the wilderness ground.
Such a sense of contradiction undoubtedly points to another possibility - the enemy is hiding underground.
This is also a matter of course, the defeated Bai Jue troops on land, although they have a bad brain, but the people who command them are not stupid, realizing that fighting on land and in the sky, they will completely fall into the rhythm of the Ghost Country, in that case, no matter how many Bai Jue rush up to serve as cannon fodder.
Therefore, in such an urgent and critical situation, the White Jedi troops will drill into the ground in unison to contain the main force of the Ghost Country, which is also the most suitable tactic at the moment.
The countermeasures and tactics are like this-
Shout!
A sharp cracking sound drowned out the hum of the mech.
Bombs with conical heads are fired from the barrels of the wings.
The entire body is wrapped in black alloy, and the style is similar to that used by a battleship, but it is an "underground torpedo" that is projected from the sky to the earth, as if it was specially developed for the enemy underground.
Boom!
The dull sound passed, and the cone-shaped head easily pierced the earth, crushing all the way through the solid rock formations and into the dark formations.
Rumble!
An even more powerful explosion erupted from the hole that had been drilled.
The fierce firelight, mixed with the strong impact of the high temperature, erupted from the ground, as if to shake the whole earth, and the loud sound that dispersed almost deafened people's ears.
As the first roar ended, more bombs pierced deep underground, shattering the earth's natural protective layer.
For a moment, the eruption of fire and the shock wave were connected, as if a sea of fire had descended on the earth.
Even in the impact of these fires that rushed into the sky, you could see a large number of white beaux that had been blown into the sky and had turned into corpses.
However, this is just one start
Begin.
After firing the shells, the air force unit swallowed its saliva and was horrified by the destructive power of this specially made ground-penetrating bomb before quickly leaving.
Immediately afterward, another shadow descended.
The second 500-strong air force descended like an angel of death.
In the same way, he performed a second baptism on the festering earth.
Then came the third one, also with a size of five hundred.
Within a radius of several kilometers, it was occupied by a sea of fire, and the earth could not be seen, and the sun overhead was also obscured by dim clouds, and the whole area was dark and could not see the light of day.
Only the faint sound of flying ninja shuttles and the frantic and resounding roar of bombs in the sky could be heard, and they continued to saturate the land.
Perhaps knowing the terrifying methods of the Ghost Country, soon, a hundred-person Bai Jue piloted a flying ninja to support, wanting to contain and buy time for the Bai Jue below.
This is not a war at all, but a merciless slaughter.
Although they are also at a disadvantage in the battle with the Union Army, at least in some places, they can bite the footsteps of the Alliance Army to the death and make them think about countermeasures, so as to buy time. Even if the coalition forces make mistakes in some places, they can still carry out a counteroffensive.
But in the face of the saturation and coverage attack of the Ghost Country, those powerful ground-penetrating bombs seemed to be dropped into the sky like dumplings, not to mention that the Bird Country was stationed with 20,000 Bai Jue, even if there were another 100,000, as long as the other party brought enough shells, they would be slaughtered sooner or later.
And the other side has not reduced its personnel so far, and all it has lost is a bunch of bombs made of broken copper and iron.
Although Bai Jue's life is not a life, he can't die in such a worthless place like this.
Just as this White Absolute Air Force was about to arrive at the battlefield, a thunderbolt as thick as a bucket descended from the higher sky without warning, hitting a flying ninja that was flying.
Rumble!
The body exploded instantly, and the white absolute was also involved, and he was killed directly.
The White Jediers immediately looked up at the enemies that appeared above.
It was a black beast made of half-flesh and half-machine, with steel wings extending from both sides like pieces
The blades are neatly arranged, shimmering with a cold metallic sheen.
The black beast's whole body was wrapped with dazzling blue thunder, especially the thick and long horn on the top of its head, and it was constantly accumulating the power of thunder
A terrifying aura came to his face, instantly shocking this white absolute army.
Not only that, but on the back of this black beast that controlled the thunder, there was also a woman about sixteen or seventeen years old, dressed in red and white
The girl in the suit, in the inorganic pupils, spread into this wave of ripples, revealing an indifferent divine light.
The maiden in the witch costume held out her hands, and the violent hurricane condensed in the white palm.
Laugh at!
The sound of slicing through the air rang out.
Two air blades burst out in an instant, piercing through the bodies of the two Bai Jue.
The two White Absolute were cut in half along with the flying ninja made of steel, and they were annihilated in the explosion, scattering a pile of scorched flesh emitting black smoke and fragments of parts left over from the flying ninja, and they fell quickly to the ground.
"You all stay, you can't let anyone go, this is my old man's order."
The black beast at the feet of the shrine maiden, Thunder Ming Pill, said this, and those white absolute moved in response to the sound and rushed to kill one after another.
It is impossible to stop the slaughter of the air force of the Oni no Kuni, but it is necessary to kill the two generals of the other side.
If this can be done, all the sacrifices of their 'brothers' before them will be worth it.
"It's really not a cry when you don't see the coffin, Sister Tianyu, let's do it together."
Thundering Pill left a thunderbolt light and shadow in place, like a body the size of a giant gate in the city, and flashed dozens of meters away, and the one-horned thunder light bloomed on his head, shooting out more than a dozen thick thunder rays of water buckets, impacting Bai Jue, who had no time to be prepared.
The Heavenly Feather Girl also nodded silently, her body light
Incomparably levitated, leaving Thunder Pill's back at the same time, a series of air blades were inspired from her palm, targeting the area in front of her, cooperating with Thunder Pill's Thunder Escape, and carrying out a saturated wind escape attack.
Under the dim sky, flying ninja equipment began to explode, or fell to the ground that had been scorched by the sea of fire, turning into flying ashes.
Today's night may come earlier than usual.
Rain hidden, tower.
Nagato stared at the "video" that Kuro brought back from the front.
This is the ability of the Black Jedi, and he can use the Hitomi technique to project what he sees. Having such an intuitive video recording ability helps to obtain details on intelligence.
However, this time, it seems that even if you pay attention to the details, there seems to be nothing you can do.
Like a group of flying ninjas descending from a silver-gray cloud, each with a size of five hundred people.
And the air force of this scale, within an hour, carried out four bombings against the country of birds, and almost returned the rock and soil of the great wasteland of the country of birds several times. It also means that the country of ghosts has dispatched four air forces with a size of 500 people.
The size of their air force, at least two thousand people.
Nagato doesn't know how many there are, but it's definitely more than two thousand people, that's for sure.
In the face of the repeated bombing of these Ghost Country Air Forces, Bai Jue had no power to fight back.
Even if they burrow into the ground at a depth of tens of meters, they will be destroyed by the ground-penetrating bombs they drop, unless they burrow deeper into the ground.
But in that case, the White Jedi troops could only shrink, and it was impossible to fight back.
The entire Bird Country front will also be completely defeated.
No, it's almost close to a full-blown rout now.
Thing.
The 20,000 white Jedi who had been thrown into the Bird Country had now suffered a third of their casualties, and this had only happened less than a day after the war began
If this continues, by the third day, the country of birds will be in the hands of the country of ghosts, and the country of rain will also lose the front barrier, burning the flames of war to the base camp area.
This time came sooner than Nagato expected.
According to his initial calculations, no matter how bad the Bai Jue army was, there were 20,000 people, and it would be no problem to support it for a month.
Then drag out the battle until winter, ignoring this harsh environment, and the ninja troops affected by the severe winter cold, the combat effectiveness can increase and decrease, and some disadvantages can be reversed.
Nagato saw the sea of fire that appeared on the great wasteland, and he didn't need to think about seeing this scene, he also knew that the White Jedi army there had been completely wiped out, and there could be no second result
The tactics used by the Oni Country have always been based on slaying the enemy's living forces, and conquering the city is only one of the incidental results of their victory.
This tactic can give fear and deterrence to the enemy in the most violent way, and it can also make a large country unable to recover for years or even ten years.
Nagato looked at the black video projection, rubbing his brow slightly, as if he felt an incomparably headache for the scene in front of him.
This level of firepower can still be mass-produced and carried out saturation strikes, which is beyond his expectations.
If it's ninjutsu, maybe there's a way to crack it, or even find a flaw or something, but he doesn't know anything about industry. Not to mention, as long as the system is still in place, the country of ghosts can continue to produce such powerful bombs. And it's likely that there is more than that.
Once caught in this kind of saturation blow, it will be difficult for even the Tailed Beast to go head-to-head. Although it can't kill the tailed beast, it can definitely make the tailed beast suffer.
"Let me go, if it goes on like this, it won't take three days for the Bird Country front to be completely defeated."
Xiao Nan saw Nagato's headache at this time, and took the initiative to ask Ying to go to the battlefield of the Bird Country.
"No, even if it's you, if you fall into that rhythm, there will be accidents. At present, when it comes to air supremacy, the Oni Country is undoubtedly the most powerful."
Nagato shook his head and vetoed Konan's request to go to the Bird Country front.
Thousands of Bai Jue, under such a saturation blow, have collapsed
Army, or a feat accomplished in less than an hour.
This kind of blow is difficult for even Xiao Nan to support.
"Moreover, Chiba Shiraishi's doppelganger also appeared on the battlefield. That guy just threw out a hand of this level and bombarded us. If that's a bit of a stretch."
In the projection, Nagato saw the combination of the shrine maiden and the black beast, and recognized it as Shiraishi's wind and thunder clone.
Both of these doppelgangers have extremely strong air supremacy, and in terms of freedom, to a certain extent, they make up for the weakness of the air forces of the Oni no Kuni.
The air force units of the Oni no Kuni are carrying out firepower strikes, and these two clones are just escorting these air forces to ensure that their firepower smoothly covers the war zone and will not be disrupted by the enemy.
It can be said that in the face of such a powerful combination of the sky, unless Xiao Zhong is the leader himself, no matter who passes, he will only passively withstand the attack.
"The troops on the side of the Bird Country should be able to support for a while, let's deal with the alliance army first, don't let them come in and fish in troubled waters."
Nagato said.
"Do you want to give up resistance to the Oni Country?"
Xiao Nan frowned.
Black Jue seems to have figured out something.
"Does Nagato-sama mean to slow down the advance of the Alliance Army and force the Oni no Kuni side to stop the offensive?"
Nagato glanced at Kurojuku and nodded.
"That's right, the side that attacks the Land of Rain first will face all the pressure of Xiao, this kind of drama of letting the Alliance Army watch from the wall and sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, Chiba Shiraishi will not let it happen, unless he wants to fight with me and let the Alliance Army benefit the fisherman. Although they claim to be allies, the interests of the Oni no Kuni and the Alliance Army do not coincide. If that happens, the Alliance will definitely fall into the Oni Country."
Therefore, as long as the backhand is restrained by the advance of the coalition army, the country of ghosts will consider whether it will be beneficial to directly attack the country of rain after sweeping the front of the country of birds. As long as you think about it, you will come to the conclusion that the Dawn that directly attacks the Land of Rain will only cause your own side to suffer huge losses, but will benefit the Alliance Army.
Of course, there is another possibility.
That is, the country of ghosts marched into the country of rain as quickly as possible, gathered all the ninjas with high-end combat power, and used the method of blitzkrieg to raid Yuyin Village with lightning speed, eliminate the entire Xiao, get Xiao's six-tailed beast, and use it, and then counterattack the alliance army.
This possibility also exists, although it is very low, but the vigilance cannot be discarded.
Under the impetus of the Alliance Army, the Grass Country Front is not advancing very well.
Under the tactical countermeasures of the Allied General Staff, Darui, the commander of the 1st Wing, screened out the Lieutenant General Tu Dun Ninja in the Wing according to his orders to defend against the suicide attack of the self-detonating White Jere. In addition, it was also supported by some squadrons of the 2nd and 3rd Wings that were good at soil escape.
However, when advancing the line in the afternoon, many squadrons still suffered heavy blows. Some squadron leaders were wounded, and some entire squadrons were left with little left, which led to the cancellation of squadron numbers and the inclusion of the rest of the squadrons.
In the face of these artificial soldiers, even if a ninja is killed or injured, Darui, as the captain of the wing, will feel distressed for a long time.
What Xiao died was just a group of man-made monsters without a heart, but what died on their side were living people, and the value of their lives was not on the same level.
Even in the eyes of the leaders of the Union Army Headquarters, it is not worth dying for such a man-made monster. However, when the battle reached this point, sacrifice was inevitable, and Darui, as the captain of the first wing, could only tell himself that he had to take the lead in every battle, so that he could have fewer deaths.
After all, as long as he, the wing captain, is careful, he can get out of the explosion zone before he explodes and commits suicide.
In the northern part of the country of grass, on the line where the fortress is located, there are rows of dungeons made of earth escapes, on which guards are stationed.
In addition, there are several squadron-sized ninjas, broken into pieces, patrolling the area near the fortress to prevent the White Jedi from sneaking attacks.
The side of the horizon where the sun sinks, the land is dyed red by the light of the setting sun, and the other half is painted black and fades into the night.
On a dungeon fort supported by earth, Darui and several squadron leaders stood here, looking out over the hilly terrain ahead,
Further afield is a wild jungle, then a mountain ravine.
Although it was only the first day of the war, there was already a little tiredness on everyone's faces.
Bai Jue's suicide attack still has a deep memory for them and they can't let go.
In today's two battles, the casualties of the first wing were nearly 1,000, and the wailing in the brightly lit camp in the rear has not stopped since the war.
"According to the reconnaissance team's investigation, it seems that the White Jedi Force is planning to abandon the land and build a military construction site underground, apparently planning to fight us for a long time."
Akido Ding squinted at the red and black sky in front of him, and said slowly.
"Then they have to be dug out of the ground. I remember that Iwakuin is good at combo earth escape, there is such a technique, right? 「
Darui looked at one of the squadron leaders, Kamishinobi, who was from Iwakuin Village.
The other party wears a ninja forehead guard on his forehead, which means that he is now a member of the Alliance Army.
"There are such earth retreats, but those military sites are far away and the branches are scattered, and it takes time to dig them out of the ground."
The squadron leader of Iwakure replied.
"Even so, that's all we can do, there's no better way than that."
Darui said in a deep voice.
The leader of the Iwain Squadron had no choice but to nod his head and agree.
At this moment, a member of the Alliance military Shinobi carrying a communication device flashed over.
"Captain Darui, there's a message from the Oni Country."
"The Land of Ghosts?"
When Darui heard the news, he was slightly stunned.
The rest of the squadron leaders were also stunned, isn't it news from headquarters?
The Zhongnin liaison nodded and said, "That's right, it's a contact letter from the Oni Country, they hope that our side will withdraw all the members of the reconnaissance force in the forward theater before sunrise tomorrow, otherwise they will not be responsible for any accidents."
"What do you mean? What are they going to do?"
Darui's face was even more confused, and he was puzzled by the communication from the Oni Country.
So, Darui looked at the rest of the people, and the rest of the squadron leaders were also at a loss, not knowing what the Oni Country wanted to do by conveying this message.
Although Darui felt inexplicable about the transmission of the Oni Country, he was still very cautious to withdraw the reconnaissance troops in front of him and asked the headquarters to confirm the matter.
However, the answer given by the Alliance Army Headquarters was completely unaware, and it was not notified by the Oni Country.
In the midst of such suspicions, Darui did not sleep all night, and kept vigil with more than a dozen squadron leaders to avoid accidents in the situation.
And so, after a long night, just as the eastern horizon was revealing the whiteness of the fish's belly, and Darui was about to hold on, and when he had yawned, a buzz broke the silence of the area.
Darui, Dingza and the others suddenly became distracted, and they all looked up at the sky.
Hundreds of manned flying ninjas, like a silver-gray cloud, slowly enlarged in everyone's field of vision.
However, this air force, which did not belong to the Union Army, did not rush towards the side of the Union Fortress, but rushed to the area directly in front of the Fortress.
Not an exaggeration.
It was empty on the surface, but the ground was densely covered with military construction sites made by Bai Jue, which could be called a minefield
There was a reconnaissance unit passing by there before, and only one of the seven people who passed desperately escaped and died of serious injuries.
As you can imagine, the danger of that area.
"This is the air force of the Oni Country, right? What are they going to do?"
Darui asked.
"Do you want to drop a bomb and attack a military construction site underground?"
Ding Za was confused.
It's not that they haven't considered this tactic, but considering the current power of the bomb, it is far less effective than the Earth Escape Ninjutsu because of the lack of ground penetration.
In this way, it is only the ground that is saturated, and there is no threat to the white absolute underground.
Darui and the others glanced at each other, and their figures flickered, leading several squadrons over to check the situation, wanting to confirm something.
Just as they were moving, a flying ninja began to drop its first bomb.
Like a sharpened metal pencil, like a meteor rushing to the earth.
Boom!
The moment the dust fell, the air froze for a few seconds, and then a firelight erupted into the sky, and then a deafening impact shook the eardrums of Darui and the others who rushed forward fiercely, causing their hearts to shake violently along with the earth.
Without stopping, bombs sharpened like metal pencils roared into the earth, cracking rocks and digging deep into the earth.
A series of fires began to burst, carrying sand and roaring towards the sky.
Then, with an astonishing maneuver, the air force threw a second ground-penetrating projectile on its wing.
The scene of bombing the earth makes people feel that the heavens and the earth are trembling.
The reddish-brown dirt turned outwards and was then engulfed in flames, burning into pitch-black char and billowing smoke.
These explosive bombs not only bring shockwaves that are strong enough to shatter the human body, but also release high temperatures, which consume oxygen in the area and even underground, making people deadly.
Countless Bai Jue began to give up hiding, some dodging deeper, some were disturbed by their sense of direction, and fled to the ground in confusion, their faces were confused, their faces were full of dementia, and they didn't know what was going on.
So, just as they were about to take a breath of turbid air, the explosion blew everything away, sending them flying in the fire.
The impact of the explosion was still echoing through the heavens and the earth, and the hearing of Darui and the others was completely dominated by the sound of the explosion.
Like those who were bombed, Bai Jue was also full of dementia, and then looked at the Oni no Kuni Air Force that was dominating the earth from the sky, and the dementia turned into a long silence.
The rock and soil did not stop crumbling, and the flames of the sky rose one after another.
When this unit finished using the bombs, the second force followed, and it was not intended to give Bai Jue a chance to breathe
The second round of repeated bombardment, going deeper into the ground, wiped out the white of the place.
"This war............. It's a ninja battle, right?"
Darui raised this question.
Seeing this scene, for the first time, he felt so vague about the concept of ninja, and his expression and pupils appeared
Numbness and doubt, doubts about self and the world.
"It's incredible, but this is a ninja war."
Ding Za solemnly answered Darui's question.
Looking at the shattered earth in front of me, and the white corpses all over the ground, I couldn't believe that this was just a momentary occurrence.
"It's just, and it makes me feel like I've been practicing ninjutsu for twenty years, and I've become worthless."
For the first time, Darui was disgusted by this so-called industrial heat weapon.
A force of a few hundred men fired a pile of broken copper and iron, and the whole land was smashed, and the whole area was cut off.
This kind of thing is simply a mockery of the ninjas' hard work posture, how ridiculous and pitiful it is.
