Chapter 227: Attempt to Pursue
On the other side, as the war collapsed, the reformists were overwhelmed and the rebels were crushed, and most of them were corpses on the ground, except for a small number of ninjas who fled.
Terumi didn't waste time in the careful purge, when even when the order was given to gather the troops.
"My lord, why are you in such a hurry to summon us? The rebels in the city haven't been cleaned up yet! There was a hurrying back Kiri Shinobi complained.
There were many fog ninjas around who couldn't help but nod their heads in agreement when they heard this.
Many of their companions died here during the three sieges, and they were desperate to execute all the rebels in order to vent their hatred.
"I know!"
Terumi stood on a high place and motioned for everyone to be quiet, and said, "However, now that the rebel forces have been defeated, we can't continue to focus on those remnants. ”
"Don't forget, we have two other enemies, or competitors."
"We have to be careful, especially now that we are in a state of great damage!"
The Reformers suffered heavy losses due to a surprise attack by the rebel forces during the second siege, and suffered the greatest losses among the three teams so far.
In such a dangerous time, she must be vigilant and wary of them, instead of gambling on the conscience of others with her own safety.
Hearing this, everyone immediately understood everything and did not continue to complain.
"Now, we have to get out of here before they react! Keep yourself safe! Terumi said as she looked out of the city.
"Yes, Terumi Lady!"
The crowd had no objections, and immediately took the wounded with them, and then quickly evacuated Cape City.
With so many reformers acting together, it was natural that they could not hide from the other two parties, and they soon received the corresponding news report.
"Retreated?"
The watermelon mountain puffer ghost, who was searching for the remnants of the enemy in a laneway, was a little surprised to hear this, but he soon realized that the reformers were on guard against both of them.
Immediately, he gave an order to his henchmen: "Gather our people immediately, don't let that stinky girl run away like this!" ”
"In addition, send someone to keep an eye on their movements, and report back immediately if there is anything abnormal!"
"Yes...... But how should the loser explain it? The henchman ninja asked with a slight hesitation.
After all, he is still the nominal leader of their conservative faction, and there is also a lot of scattered support from the Fog Shinobi.
I am afraid that the unauthorized mobilization of troops will be criticized and hindered by the failure of the troops.
The puffer fish ghost thought for a moment, and then added, "You just say, we are here to avenge the three generations!" ”
"Now that the reformist forces have suffered heavy losses, it is a good opportunity to kill them!"
"As for here, the rebel forces have been completely defeated, and it is enough to leave only a small number of people to clear the remnants, and not so many people."
"Yes!"
The henchman ninja replied and prepared to leave.
"Wait!"
The puffer fish ghost hurriedly stopped him again, and instructed again: "Don't forget to send someone to pay attention to the movements of the neutral faction!" ”
"I don't want to be picked up on the fisherman's profits!"
Hearing the command, the henchman ninja nodded, and then disappeared into the alley.
In a short time, the puffer fish ghost gathered his troops.
However, considering that he also had to guard against the neutrals, he only transferred about 500 troops.
In fact, after three rounds of fierce siege battles, their troops were also extremely tired, suffered heavy losses, and their combat effectiveness was seriously reduced.
This time he was determined to pursue Terumi Ming, and he just had an attitude of giving it a try.
If there is a chance, naturally there is no need to be polite to Zhaomei, but if there is no chance, he will take this time to go out to let the wind go.
"Let's go!"
With an order, he immediately led a group of subordinates to rush out.
Naturally, the neutrals who also received the news were not idle.
A long time after the puffer fish ghost led people away, the ghost lantern full moon also quietly went out of the city with 300 people.
Like the puffer fish ghost, because the troops suffered a lot of losses and were not in good shape, he didn't bring many people, he just wanted to follow and see if he could pick up a bargain.
If it does, it will be wonderful; If it doesn't work out, there's nothing to lose.
Soon, the reformist perceptual ninja sensed the pursuers behind and reported the news to Terumi.
"How long will it be before they catch up with us?" Terumi asked aloud.
"About twenty minutes later!" The perceptual ninja thought for a moment and replied.
"And how many of them are there?" She asked again.
"According to preliminary estimates, there should be five hundred!"
The Perception Ninja lowered his head and continued, "However, they are very fast, and they should be deliberately selected elites. ”
"Elite?"
Terumi frowned slightly when she heard this.
There are not many enemies, and it is obvious that I don't want to fight them head-on.
After all, there were more than 1,700 reformers left at this time.
Even if you remove the seriously wounded who have little combat effectiveness, and the first division is really exhausted, at least it can draw out the combat strength of nearly a thousand people.
Presumably, the enemy should want to attack or decapitate the enemy.
In order to reduce unnecessary losses, she immediately made arrangements to divide the combat strength of nearly a thousand people into two parts, one part to escort the seriously wounded and tired away, and the other part to stay with her to attract the attention of the enemy and take charge of the rear.
Hearing of this plan, the reformers fiercely opposed it.
They were not against the division of troops, but against leaving the aftermath behind.
That's too dangerous.
It's a pity that under the strong insistence of Terumi, everyone had to agree.
So, after reaching a canyon terrain, the reformers immediately began to split up.
Rokuzawa also stayed, taking a hundred Taketori ninjas to help break the queen, and as for the rest of the clan, he was sent into another retreating team.
In fact, his people did not suffer too many injuries and lost their combat effectiveness, but only continued to engage in fierce siege battles, especially the most dangerous forwards, and their physical exertion was too great, and most of them were too tired to have any combat effectiveness.
For this reason, Rokuzawa sent them into the retreating ranks, leaving only a hundred elites who still had considerable combat effectiveness.
Of course, by this time, most of the people who can still retain combat effectiveness are the upper ninja, and a small number of particularly powerful middle ninjas, as for the lower ninjas, there is naturally no one.
This is true not only of their own group, but of the entire reformist army.
Just as he was leaning on a cliff and falling asleep, the voice of the sensing ninja suddenly rang out.
"Be careful, they're coming!"
Hearing the warning, everyone who was still recuperating suddenly cheered up and looked out of the canyon.
Soon, they saw a team of ninjas of nearly five hundred men rushing towards them across the plain in front of them in the faint morning light.
It's just that as the distance got closer, seeing the ninjas guarding the mouth of the canyon, the puffer fish ghost hurriedly stopped everyone.
"Stop!"
