Chapter 185: Saving People and Losing Land

"Shhhh

Hearing the news, Terumi couldn't help but take a breath.

It's incredible.

She knew that with the Taketori clan as the spearhead to resist the artillery bombardment, she could easily break through the fire blockade of the rebels and win the battle.

But she could never have imagined that this victory would be so perfect, with zero casualties.

Seeing this, Rokuzawa immediately recounted the situation on the battlefield and answered Terumi's doubts.

"I see!"

Terumi nodded, finally understanding everything.

"By the way, what about in the camp? What were the casualties in the camp? Rokuzawa asked curiously.

Because the first round of shelling was so sudden, they did not have time to prepare for it, so they were choked by the solid explosion, and the number of casualties was not low.

Terumi shook her head and said, "The Chakra shelling was too strong, and we were caught off guard, and most of us were injured in the first round of shelling. ”

"According to our preliminary count, the death toll is nearly 130 and more than 500 people are injured."

"So much?"

Despite his mental preparations, Rokuzawa couldn't help but be taken aback.

More than 100 people were killed and more than 500 wounded in just one round of shelling, and if they had not launched a defense in time, I am afraid that the number of casualties would have increased by much.

"It seems that we will strengthen our vigilance in the future to prevent them from using this chakra cannon for long-range surprise attacks again!" Rokuzawa couldn't help but sigh.

If it is a normal battle, the ninja's ninjutsu attack will not reach this range at all, only a few meters, or even a distance of more than ten meters, I am afraid that they will be discovered by the ninja in charge of vigilance as soon as they start to brew an attack, so that they will be informed by their own side to start defending in advance.

But the Chakra cannon is different, its range far exceeds that of ninjutsu, and it is hundreds of meters away, so it was not discovered in time by the vigilant fog ninja.

Even if a specialized perceptual ninja discovers an enemy, they will subconsciously ignore the enemy because they are too far away, thinking that they are not a threat.

If they do not strengthen their vigilance and allow the enemy to attack again ten or eight times, I am afraid that they will fall into a situation of heavy casualties before they can officially engage the rebels.

"That's right, I've already ordered the sentient ninjas to be on heightened alert, and if they find an enemy in their sensing range, they will immediately warn them!" Terumi nodded.

At present, although the range of the chakra cannon is quite long, it is not beyond the sensing range of the sentient ninja.

As long as you pay attention to the movement of enemies within the sensing range in time, you can still avoid the same disaster.

"Then, I won't disturb your rest!"

After the report, Liuze said goodbye and withdrew from the big tent.

However, the night was not destined to be peaceful.

The rebels attacked not only their reformists, but also the conservatives and centrists.

It's just that the conservatives and neutrals don't have the armor as strong as the Taketori clan to carry the chakra bombardment.

After suffering a surprise attack from the first round of chakra artillery, they also chose to divide their forces and attack the method of trying to destroy the chakra cannons on the rebel side.

It's a pity that in the face of that powerful firepower cover, it is really difficult for the mist ninja to break through the fire blockade, just like the situation when Rokuzawa and the others first encircled and suppressed the empty ninja.

But in order to destroy those terrible chakra cannons as soon as possible, they could only choose to disperse the encirclement and advance from all directions, hoping to disperse the firepower of the chakra cannons and increase the chances of breaking through.

In the end, after paying a huge price in casualties, they finally achieved their goal and solved the surprise attack.

It's just that the morale of both teams has suffered a huge blow, far worse than the harassment and attack of the air ninja on the road before.

At this moment, the commanders of both teams couldn't help but retreat, wanting to withdraw from the battle plan this time.

After all, the rebels have the support of Konoha and Yunyin behind them, and now they have the full help of the empty ninja, and if they really want to exterminate them, they don't know how much it will cost them, which is definitely not what they want to see.

But when they thought that Konoha and Yunyin were now being held back by the 'Ghost Army', it was a good time to exterminate the rebels, and they were reluctant to give up.

Especially now that there has been no formal confrontation with the rebel army, if the army is withdrawn and returned, it will greatly affect the prestige of the upper echelons and shake the rule of the lower levels.

As a last resort, they gritted their teeth again and continued to advance deeper into the rebel territory.

However, they are not mediocre talents, and after suffering a loss, they immediately expanded the scope of vigilance to prevent the rebels from repeating their old tricks again.

Because of this, the rebel side never succeeded in a sneak attack again.

In the face of the pressure of the three-way army, the sneak attack was ineffective, and the rebel side immediately contracted its strength and did not waste any more strength to divide its troops to block the attack.

"This is a problem!"

Effortlessly capturing a small city again, Rokuzawa couldn't help but sigh heavily.

"Rokuzawa-sama, what's the trouble with this? Didn't we take this city without a single soldier? A young fellow asked puzzled.

"This is already the sixth city we have easily captured without a fight!"

Glancing back at his young fellow clan, Rokuzawa said with a serious face: "Although we have not encountered resistance, this does not mean that our enemies have disappeared. ”

"On the contrary, they are concentrating all their defense forces together, so as not to be eaten up by us little by little."

"It also means that the next time we fight, we'll encounter more enemies than you ever imagined! It's more difficult than you think to defeat your enemies! ”

As the saying goes, if you lose your land, you lose your land; If you save people and lose land, you will gain all people.

At the same time, in the face of the siege of the three forces of the fog and concealment, if the rebel side has the idea of not losing an inch of land and blindly defends it, they are afraid that before they reach their rear lair, all their ninjas will be consumed in the defense of all towns along the way.

The rebel forces will inevitably die.

But if they give up their temporary land and gather all the ninjas to defend their base camp, in the face of such a force, even if the three reformers join forces, it will not be so easy to eat.

And once the battle situation is stalemate, it will be unfavorable to the other three parties.

After all, the logistical supply lines of the three families dragged on too long.

If we wait until the war between the Ninja Alliance and the Ghost Legion ends, the three reformists have not yet eliminated the rebel forces, and they will inevitably usher in the strong intervention of Konoha and Yunyin.

When the time comes, the lost land of the rebels will be able to regain it.

It must be said that the choice of the rebels' side, although cowardly, is useful.

"Uh, that's a big problem!"

Hearing the explanation, the young clan's face suddenly changed.

Needless to say, they would have to pay a huge price to break through a fortified city that the rebels were guarding with a lot of money.
