Chapter 234: Accidents and a Desperate Battle (Month 1600)
After the combat meeting ended, Shikaku looked solemn.
The reason was that the team he sent to intercept Kumogakure's logistics supplies had completely lost contact.
After crippling Kumogakure's frontline troops, it wasn't that he didn't want to pursue the victory, but that Konoha's side also suffered death and injuries.
Under the premise that the victory is determined, of course, we must choose to minimize the losses.
Otherwise, under the dying counterattack of Kumogakure's frontline troops, the casualties on their side will definitely increase further, which is a situation that neither Shikaku nor Sarutobi want to see.
Therefore, under Sarutobi's instructions, Shikaku chose to surround Kumogakure's remaining people here, and supplemented them with harassment tactics. He wanted to make the Raikage submit and take the initiative to send people for peace talks to prevent all these people from being ruined here.
But Kumogakure’s reaction is disturbing!
It was clear that everything was at the end of their rope, and wounded people died in their sleep every day, but the remnants of Kumogakure's frontline troops gritted their teeth and held on.
He neither took the initiative to launch a counterattack nor had any intention of admitting defeat and returning to the village, so he just spent his life here.
So Shikaku deduced that Kumogakure's logistics supplies might already be on the way, and reinforcements might even be sent.
But after such a long war, there is a question first about how much strength Kumogakure can squeeze out to support the front line.
However, if this batch of supplies is indeed successfully delivered to the Kumogakure frontline troops, then this war will inevitably continue to be fought, and perhaps a greater price will be paid to drive away the enemy.
Therefore, Shikaku issued an order decisively and sent nearly a hundred people to detour to Tian Country and Tang Country in order to destroy this batch of logistics supplies and completely cut off the hope of those on the Kumogakure front line!
At the same time, two preparations were made. The army kept pressing forward, pushing the front line to the limit that Kumogakure could tolerate, and was ready to attack at any time.
If Kumogakure's logistics supply route is successfully cut off, then it would be the best thing. It will not only preserve the effective strength of Kumogakure's side, but also completely make Kumogakure's comeback hopeless.
Even if Raikage wants to redeem these people, he must pay a higher price.
But if something unexpected happens, then Shikaku will attack immediately, trying to eliminate Kumogakure's frontline troops regardless of the cost of casualties before the enemy's reinforcements and supplies arrive!
As time went by, the hundred-man unit that failed to send out contact information on time probably had something unexpected happen to it.
This also made Shikaku no longer take any chances and immediately convened a combat meeting.
Now that the enemy is sleepy and his mental and physical state have reached the lowest point, this is the best time to take action!
Therefore, early the next morning, Konoha's main force was assembled and then began to move towards Kumogakure's stronghold at the moment.
After receiving the news, Kumogakure seemed to have reached the limit of his endurance. Even if most people were in extremely bad condition, he was still ready to fight to the death with the people of Konoha!
The troops from both sides faced off again!
It's just that this time, Kumogakure's face has 'defeat' written all over it. On the other hand, Konoha's side is full of energy and full of energy. He can't wait to kill all the enemies in front of him immediately!
Such a comparison makes a judgment call.
If there are no accidents, it is time for this war to end.
"kill!"
It was very surprising that the first one to launch the attack was not Konoha, which had an absolute advantage in all aspects. Instead, it was Commander-in-Chief Dodai of Kumogakure who issued the order first.
There is nothing that can be done about it. Konoha can wait for work, but if they delay for one more minute, their morale will drop by one point.
So it would be better to use the resentment accumulated in my heart during this period and explode it all as soon as it comes up, and maybe catch Konoha by surprise.
But Tudai underestimated Shikaku. As early as yesterday's combat meeting, Shikaku listed a total of seven possible situations, which naturally included Kumogakure's preemptive strike and the use of the concept of "the enemy must win" to try to break the situation.
.
Shikaku's response to this was to defend and counterattack!
As the saying goes, if you make great efforts at one time, you will be exhausted again and again.
The ferocity is just an illusion shown by Kumogakure's troops at this time.
No matter how fierce the injured tiger is, it only has the power of one blow. As long as you block it, you will find that the opponent is actually just a sick cat.
And how can a sick cat stop the bite of wolves?
"Melee first unit, second unit, prepare for defense!"
"Hit me hard, Ninjutsu troops, and I must curb the enemy's offensive momentum!"
After receiving the order, Mikawa Jonin immediately began to command the ninjutsu troops to launch an attack.
And what's different from the last time is that this time the ninjutsu troops became the main offensive force from the beginning, and even selected relatively powerful combination ninjutsu, as if they had no intention of saving chakra at all.
As for the first melee unit, the second unit no longer charges to kill the enemy, but turns to a defensive line, preparing to block the enemy's impact.
The Kumogakure ninjas who did not expect Konoha to make such an arrangement were too late to retreat at this time. They could only bite the bullet and rush forward with a look of horror, and even increased their speed. As long as they could use the ninjutsu to
If you rush into the crowd of Konoha before it falls, there is still hope.
However, the Konoha troops who arrived at the battlefield first had already quietly deployed the detonating talisman.
Boom boom boom...!
Although only a small part of the detonating talisman was deployed due to time constraints, Kumogakure's people still rushed in through mental calculations and unintentional calculations, and the formation was immediately destroyed.
Then at this time, under the command of Mikawa, Konoha's ninjutsu troops immediately transformed into sophisticated ninjutsu machines, meticulously throwing one ninjutsu after another towards the panicked enemy vanguard.
Kumogakure, who wanted to seize the opportunity, was instantly attacked head-on by Konoha!
And because of the distance, Kumogakure's ninjutsu troops had to advance a certain distance before they could threaten Konoha's ninjutsu troops. Therefore, this time difference directly led to a large attrition of Kumogakure's troops.
It can be said that Tutai has been completely at a disadvantage in the game between the two commanders.
It is also worth mentioning that in this head-to-head confrontation, Qingyu and the others were clearly staying in Konoha's side of the front, and were ready to join the battle at any time.
Because there is no need to attack the Kumogakure camp anymore, this battle is all about real swords and guns!
Speaking of it, this was the first time for a few of them to experience this kind of melee with thousands of ninjas intertwined together. The shock of the scene made them widen their eyes and speechless.
However, their legs were not frightened to the point of weakness. Instead, their blood boiled and they were somewhat eager to try.
