Chapter 145: Retreat and turn into the wind
"Lord Tokumitsu! There is a fleet of misty ships on the seashore that are turning their course, and judging by their course, their destination should be the Land of Fire......"
Just as Uchiha Tokumitsu was smug admiring the fire in the harbor, Hinata Takazawa hurriedly ran over and reported to him.
"Fleet?"
Uchiha Tokumitsu was stunned at first when he heard this, "Isn't the transport fleet of the fog hidden already in port?" ”
Then he pointed to a large area of Ataku boats that were blazing.
Before going into battle, Uchiha Tokumitsu chose to attack in the afternoon in order to let Kigakure's fleet enter the harbor to facilitate the total annihilation.
"Could it be that there is still a fleet in the fog?"
Immediately, Uchiha Tokumitsu reacted, "Kishigakure sent reinforcements?" ”
If the first fleet to enter the port is a supply carrier, then this fleet ......
"Can you confirm the people on board?"
Uchiha Tokumitsu looks at Hinatataka Takazawa.
“…… Due to the distance, only the general situation of the fleet can be seen, and the specific personnel can not be seen. Hinata Takazawa replied in a low voice: "I don't have enough power in the lower pupil, but since Lord Tokumitsu commanded me, then I'll try to go to sea to reconnoiter closer......"
"No need ......"
Uchiha Tokumitsu thought about it, shook his head and vetoed Hinata's proposal: "Since Kishigaku chose to turn to sail, it is already known about the situation in the port, and it is impossible to cruise without protection, and the risk of approaching reconnaissance at this time is too great......"
Hinata Takazawa didn't speak again, just bowed deeply.
"Prepare to evacuate, it's time to go back and meet Shuo Maojun......"
Uchiha Tokumitsu ordered, "Also, release the ninja eagle to inform Shuo Shige-kun of the battle situation here!" ”
"Yes!"
Hinata Takazawa immediately bowed down and was ordered to retreat.
……
Far away in the southern region of the Fire Country, Hachiki Shuo Shigeru and Orochimaru had just finished another fruitless active offensive at this time.
Goji Yakura is not only strong in personal combat, but also has excellent command ability in the ninja army.
Although Hachiki Shuomao and Orochimaru are both well-known powerhouses in the ninja world, they still can't please in front of the tailed beast-transformed goji Yakura.
The repeated attacks of the Konoha ninja army not only failed to repel the Mist Hidden Ninja Army, but instead caused heavy casualties on their own side.
After returning to the camp, Sakumo Hachiki and Orochimaru continued to meditate and strategize.
"I don't know how Tokumitsu-kun's battle is going behind enemy lines......
In the big tent of the Chinese army, Qimu Shuomao sighed after planning some tactics on the map.
The countless offensives launched for many days were all forced to give up under the attack of the unreasonable tailed beast jade of Goji Yakura, and the two of them were also helpless for a while.
When he couldn't think of a strategy, Sakumo Hachiki missed Uchiha Tokumitsu, who was able to break through with his strength.
At least if Uchiha Tokumitsu is here, he can also rest assured that he can hand over the ninja army and go to the battlefield to carry out the strangulation mission himself, instead of sitting in the command center like he is now.
Sakushige Hachiki looked at Orochimaru, who was still engrossed in tactical planning on the map.
Orochimaru's strength is indeed outstanding, but Hachiki Sakumo is not at ease to hand over his ninja army to him.
In particular, the Uchiha are mobile units with the main combat force.
Because Orochimaru's command on the battlefield was too cold and ruthless.
In his eyes, the lives of ninjas in the same village were boring numbers, just the price to be paid for achieving a certain tactical goal, and Hachiki Sakumo had not noticed that Orochimaru's face had been moved by hearing that his companions had suffered heavy casualties.
"A cold-blooded venomous snake with no calories...... indeed"
Although he didn't think it was good to label others, he still couldn't stop muttering in his heart.
"Shuo Mao-kun ......"
Orochimaru also stopped writing, "You have a lot of confidence in Tokumitsu-kun~"
"Faith?"
Qimu Shuomao was stunned when he heard this.
"Didn't you just think that Deguang-kun would be able to successfully complete the sabotage mission behind enemy lines and quickly return to rendezvous?"
Orochimaru had a smile on his face that didn't have warmth.
"That's true...... "Hachiki Sakumo thought about what he had said for a moment and nodded in recognition of Orochimaru's judgment.
"Although Deguangjun is young, he is indeed a trustworthy partner."
"Kaleidoscope Writing Wheel Eye ......"
Orochimaru said suddenly, his gaze staring at Hachiki Shuo Shige.
"Senior Shuomao, can you depict the power of these legendary Eyes of the Blood Inheritance Limit?"
In the case of asking for help, Orochimaru's address to Hagi Shuomao has not changed from an equal status of "Jun" to an honorific "senior".
"Demon-like destructive power, unrivaled natural disaster...... "Hachiki Sakushige pondered for a moment, then replied, "But Tokumitsu-kun may be too young, and it has not yet been recorded that Madara Uchiha is so powerful that it makes people desperate. ”
"Lord Pillar's Mu Dun calmed the troubled times, and Madara Uchiha's Susano subdued the four great ninja villages......"
Orochimaru also dropped the pencil in his hand and leaned back to the chair, staring directly at the top of the tent, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Two adults!"
A communication ninja ran to the door of the Chinese tent and shouted, panting.
"Come in!"
Orochimaru, who was originally "Orochi's paralysis", suddenly straightened up and summoned the communication ninja in.
"Lord Shuomao, Lord Orochimaru!"
After the communication ninja entered the account, he immediately held a document in both hands, "It's a secret letter sent back by Lord Tokumitsu!" ”
"MeMessage?"
Orochimaru's interest came up at once, "Bring it and let me see it." ”
The communication ninja raised his head slightly, and the afterglow of his eyes lifted slightly to look at Hachiki Shuo Shigeru.
Hagi Shuomao's head nodded slightly, indicating agreement.
"Orochimaru-sama, please ...... it"
The communication ninja immediately handed the paperwork letter to Orochimaru,
"Lord Shuo Mao does have a skill......
Orochimaru sighed as he opened the envelope.
He also noticed the little action of the communication ninja just now.
When Zhanxin saw it, Orochimaru couldn't help but sigh.
"What's wrong?"
Sakumo Hachiki noticed Orochimaru's strangeness.
"Tokumitsu-kun has already burned the supply base and ship anchorage of the Igri Kiri, ......" Orochimaru couldn't help laughing, his long tongue licking his lips like a poisonous snake, "It turns out that Kirigakure has set up a base on the Tajima Peninsula in the Iron Country...... No wonder I haven't been able to touch the information of the fog. ”
Immediately, Orochimaru handed the letterhead to the itchy Hagi Shuomao.
"It also burned a number of foggy material carriers...... It seems that even if Goji Yakura has the heart to fight again, he will not be able to maintain it! ”
Qimu Shuomao also laughed out loud, this is really good news!
The cost of fighting a ninja army is very large.
Not to mention the terrifying amount of ninja's food, even the recyclable ninja equipment and consumables such as secret potions, detonation charms, etc., their consumption is extremely large.
The logistics base was completely burned down, and the wolfberry Yakura could not sustain the battle for long by relying solely on the materials stored in the camp.
"But there's still a fleet that has directly changed course......"
"I'll go arrange the intelligence officers first!" Orochimaru got up and said, "At least determine the location of the reinforcements from the fog hide!" ”
Holding the intelligence department but not making an inch, even the heavy information that the enemy came to help had to be learned through other people's battle reports, Orochimaru's face was a little unbearable.
"No hurry...... Wuyin's landing this time shouldn't be hidden......"
After stroking his chin and thinking for a moment, he said: "The base in the rear has been destroyed, and the Fog Hidden Ninja at this time is afraid that the people are also panicking, if a reinforcement army arrives, the Fog Hidden is likely to use it to boost morale......"
Orochimaru was stunned.
"However, it is still possible to send intelligence officers to infiltrate the fog to confirm the identity of reinforcements."
Sakushige Hagi then added.
Orochimaru nodded and sat down.
Later, the head of the intelligence department was summoned and admonished him.
"Why don't you start a counterattack overnight?"
Orochimaru suggested with some impatience.
“…… It's a bit difficult to scale up, but it's still possible to send elite squads to carry out raid and entanglement missions. ”
After thinking about it for a while, Qimu Shuomao said: "In this way, it can not only interfere with the rest of the fog, but also drag the retreat of the fog, killing two birds with one stone!" ”
Orochimaru thought about it, and then agreed to this old and serious way of playing.
……
And in the camp of the Second Army of the Fog Hide, Goji Yakura was looking at the battle report in his hand with an iron face.
The group of fog hidden bearers lowered their heads, and they didn't dare to come out.
The destruction of bases on the Tajima Peninsula is not just a loss of supplies.
Except for a small number of transport ships that traveled between the two places that were spared, the Second Army of Wuyin had no more ships to spare.
But what worries Goji Yakura the most is that the third generation of Mizukage is about to arrive in the Land of Fire with the fleet......
And what the purpose of the Mizukage is, Goji Yakura is not clear.
After the Ataka ship used to transport supplies has been burned down in the port of the Tajima Peninsula, it is not clear how much the three generations of Mizukage can bring in the ninja army and supplies.
But the only thing that is certain is that before the three generations of Mizukage arrive at the front line and take charge in person, the Second Army of the Fog Hidden will no longer be able to fight a war of attrition.
"Uchiha Tokumitsu ......"
After passing the letterhead to his subordinates, Yakura, who was blushing with a blue face, closed his eyes and pondered.
There is little point in continuing this battle.
Even if he can defeat the ninja army led by Hachiki Shuomao and Orochimaru under the leadership of three generations of Mizukage, he will not get much in return.
All in all, the battle was a big loss.
"Actually...... After the defeat of the first army of the watermelon mountain puffer ghost, it should be withdrawn in time......"
A misty shinobi below whispered, "This is a war with no profits, and the ninjas under his command are already complaining. ”
"Do you want to be a traitor!"
Another hot-tempered misty Kakumi stood up and reprimanded: "When you encounter setbacks, you become afraid of the enemy like a tailed beast, and you must be ashamed!" ”
Immediately, the big tent of the Chinese army immediately turned into a vegetable market, and several factions were divided into several factions to abuse each other.
"Knock knock knock!"
Goji Yakura knocked on the table a few times, and the originally noisy Chinese army tent immediately became quiet.
“…… Now that Mizukage-sama has arrived, it is only natural that we should ask Mizukage-sama for tactical guidance when facing a difficult situation. ”
Goji Yakura looked down at the map, feeling like blood was dripping inside.
Before, he easily defeated the eastern border defense forces, and then swung his army into the territory of the Fire Country; With such a record, he is definitely the best in the Fog Hidden Ninja Village, which has little experience in ninja fighting.
But the logistics are gone, the back road is broken again, and the boss of the village is here again......
It seems that overnight, the past record has become one of the pieces of evidence that has made Toshichi Yakura even more incompetent.
"Please show me Yakura-sama!"
Goji Yakura's diehard Shinobi said immediately.
"Mizukage-sama has arrived in the Land of Fire, and we, as the Misty Hidden Ones, should turn to the rear to meet Mizukage-sama, and the next battle will also need Mizukage-sama's guidance."
Goji Yakura said that 'withdrawing troops' was 'turning in', which suddenly soothed the faces of the ninjas who were originally stiff-faced.
As long as it is not defeated and retreated, in other words, everyone can accept it; Even if you go back to the village after the war, you can cover it up and defend yourself.
"May I ask Lord Yakura, when will the ninja army be evacuated...... Is it more appropriate to transfer in? ”
Another Kiri Kamishinobi asked.
"If Konoha already knew that the rear of the headquarters was attacked, he should have launched an attack tonight......"
Goji Yakura calculated the opponent's strategy: "Even if it is not a group assault of the ninja army, there will be a small group of elite squads to harass us to slow down our pace......"
"Arrange personnel to strengthen the defense here!"
A shinobu in charge of the camp immediately responded.
"In addition, the ninja army of the headquarters must also prepare in advance, as soon as the materials are prepared in advance, and the equipment that is difficult to carry should not be incinerated, so as not to attract attention......
"After repelling Konoha's attack and attack, immediately divide the team and withdraw in an orderly manner, and must not attract Konoha to attack again with great fanfare......"
Before Goji Yakura's words were finished, the sound of detonation charms exploding came from the periphery of the Fog Hidden Camp.
"Konoha is here......"
Goji Yakura's face was still pale.
The people under his command collectively shut up again, and they didn't dare to come out.
"Ladies and gentlemen, do you have any other opinions on the transfer arrangements for the ninja army?"
After a while, after the explosion of the detonation charm gradually died down, Goji Yakura asked again.
"We will follow all reasonable instructions of Lord Yakura!"
If they are plain, the Kirikin Shinobi may also actively put forward various tactical suggestions to highlight their talents; But at this time, everyone must be taking the instructions of the boss.
Otherwise, if you don't get any benefits from chattering a few more words, if you are caught talking and throw the pot over, the consequences will be unimaginable.
Goji Yakura also knew the thoughts of this group of crumbs under his command, and just snorted coldly.
"If you don't have any other opinions, let's go and arrange for the transfer and deployment!"
Goji Yakura suddenly didn't have the heart to continue to play dumb riddles with his subordinates, so he directly made a decision and issued an eviction order.
The fog hidden ninjas also couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"Where did Mizukage-sama's troops choose to land?"
Kirikin Kamishinobu asked.
This is also the most relevant issue for the ninjas of the fog, which is directly related to where the target of the transfer is.
"Twelve o'clock in the morning, Tsugaru Gorge!"
Goji Yakura replied impatiently.
