Chapter 186: Soldiers Descend on the City

In the days that followed, the reformers still did not encounter any decent resistance, and the entire territory of the rebels seemed to have disappeared.

Finally, on the sixth day after their departure, they arrived at the foot of Cape City, the last base of the rebels.

"Tut-tut, these guys are really 'crazy'!" Looking at the high city wall, Rokuzawa couldn't help but shake his head and smile.

Cape City is already a top-notch big city, and the city walls of this level are generally about ten meters high.

Although it can't stop a ninja who can fly up the wall, ten meters tall is enough to play a defensive role.

After all, it is not easy for even ninjas to climb such a wall in one go, and the ninja stationed on top of the wall can easily block the intruders from a high position.

However, this group of rebels actually raised the height of the original city wall, raising the city wall to about 15 meters, further increasing the difficulty of their overtaking.

"And that's not all!"

Terumi walked up, shook her head, and said, "I've already ordered a perceptual ninja to investigate." ”

"Those guys also used the Earth Escape Ninjutsu to solidify the underground, even if we wanted to dig a hole from the ground and raid, it would be impossible."

The walls were too high, so high that people didn't want to climb over them, so she immediately thought of breaking through the ground and asked people to investigate in advance.

It is a pity that the rebel side was well prepared and did not leave them any chance at all.

"That's a real headache!" Rokuzawa rubbed his temples.

Whether it is the modern society in the previous life or the ninja world today, there is not much difference in the method of siege.

Although the ninja is outstanding in terms of personal greatness because of the power of the chakra, the basic laws of siege warfare are still only those, which are nothing more than the combination of the inside and the outside, and the flow of strong attacks and breakthroughs.

In general, there is no particularly new, epoch-making progress.

Immediately, Terumi ordered to everyone: "The whole army retreats, keep a safe distance from 'Cape City', especially out of the range of the chakra cannon, and then camp and rest, waiting for the arrival of conservatives and neutrals." ”

At this distance, she had seen the dense array of chakra cannons lining the city walls.

If it is a strong attack, even if the Taketori clan resists the shelling, I am afraid that it will suffer heavy losses.

After all, in addition to those chakra cannons, there are also huge ninja troops in the city that have been deliberately preserved by the rebels.

Preliminary estimates put it at least around 10,000.

Of course, the power of the rebels alone is not up to this level.

However, it includes the scattered forces such as wandering ninjas, renegade ninjas, and empty ninjas that they have absorbed in recent years, as well as a small number of hired ninjas in Konoha and Yunyin.

At this moment, the rebel forces have become a monster, a cancer mixed with all the filth and filth of the Water Country.

For the sake of safety and to preserve her strength, Terumi chose patience for the time being.

Immediately, the group retreated, far away from the range of the chakra cannons, and found a flat place and began to set up camp.

At the same time, the rescue team that had already infiltrated the 'Cape City' and was responsible for rescuing the old patriarch of Taketori was distressed.

The plan could not catch up with the change, and the rebel side completely gave up resistance on the front line, and directly reduced its forces to stick to the rear, which also made the entire city extremely heavily guarded, and there was almost no opportunity to attack.

Even if they can forcibly rescue people in a short period of time, they have no chance of escaping from 'Cape City'.

Because, there are too many ninjas in the city, especially when there are constantly free ninja patrols in the sky, and rash action can only be a dead end.

As a last resort, they can only choose to wait in hiding, and this wait has been waiting until now.

Dongdong, Dongdong, Dongdong......

In a dark alley, a middle-aged man carefully looked around and knocked on the door of one of the houses with a strange rhythm.

After a few moments, the door opened slightly, and the man flew in, as if he was afraid of being noticed by others.

"Why are you here?" The woman who had just opened the door for him frowned, quickly closed the door and asked.

She is one of the members of the rescue team arranged by Rokuzawa, and in order to rescue the old patriarch Taketori, she is scattered and lurking in the city with the others.

After all, the ten of them were too eye-catching to get together.

"I have good news!"

The man curled the corners of his mouth, sat down on the edge of a small table, and grabbed the kettle on the table and poured himself a large glass.

"What's the good news?" The woman asked curiously.

The man filled a large glass of cold boiled water, and said with a strong pressure: "Lord Rokuzawa and the army of reformers have arrived under the 'Cape City', and they will attack in the near future. ”

"That's great! In this way, our rescue plan can also be implemented! The woman was overjoyed.

Because of the insurgents' hoarding, they did not dare to act rashly, so the original rescue plan was modified somewhat.

The general idea remains the same, or wait until the rebels go to war with the other three parties and their attention is greatly attracted.

It's just that this time they are not waiting for the front line to start a war, but waiting for the reformists to start attacking the city.

Once the siege begins, the city's garrison and vigilance will inevitably be much slackened, and they can not only save people, but also take advantage of the chaos to find a breakthrough in the city wall to escape here.

In particular, the reformers sent troops to the city, and they could be received as long as they escaped from here, which was far more convenient than the original plan to escape from the rebels' rear to the front.

"So, we're going to break everyone up and get everyone ready to do it at any time!" The middle-aged man said earnestly to his companion.

For the sake of safety, the ten of them were scattered and lurked, and only partially contacted, and no one knew the location of all of them.

So, in order to reconnect with the others, they must split up and find their companions one by one.

"Good!"

The woman nodded and immediately responded.

At the same time, the reformers stationed outside Cape City were worried that the rebels would take advantage of their unstable foothold to launch a surprise attack nearby.

Therefore, on the first night of arriving outside the 'Cape City', all the fog shinobi who were in charge of the vigilance were in good spirits.

Unfortunately, they overestimated the courage of the rebels.

Except for sending a part of the air ninja to patrol the sky, the rebel side did not make any moves at all, and completely made up their minds to defend the fortified city.

Although the enemy's decision made Rokusawa and the others less troubled by the attack and harassment, it also gave Rokusawa and the others a headache for the siege battle they were about to face.

I am not afraid that the enemy has many ideas, but I am afraid that the enemy has no ideas.

If the enemy is greedy and wants to play some tricks, they may find flaws and achieve countermeasures, but the enemy is only bent on stubbornness, and they have no flaws to find, so they can only attack the city with brute force, and there is no skill at all.

From the perspective of a martial artist, it means that there are no tricks to win.

If there is no trick, it is naturally unbreakable.
