"All on alert, start fighting!"

In the sound of the alarm, the leaders of the various squads on the high wall, after seeing a large number of figures rushing out of the forest, immediately recovered from their stunned moments and began to shout loudly.

"Captain, it's Konoha ninjas who are attacking!"

The Hyuga ninja, who has farsightedness, shouted loudly.

He used the ability of his white eyes to see clearly the identity of this group of ninjas who came by surprise, from the Konoha Ninja Village.

"Whichever side he is, give me a crush on them!"

Although the captain of the upper ninja is puzzled by the reason why the Konoha ninja appeared here, now that the enemy has arrived, it is important to hold this fortress and repel the enemy army.

At this moment, the walkie-talkie that the captain of the upper ninja hung in his ear first made a noisy sound, and then returned to stability.

A quick sentence was said on the other side of the walkie-talkie, and an instruction was given, which made the captains of the upper ninja who were guarding the high wall look stunned.

"What's wrong, Captain?"

Sensing that the faces of the ninja captains were different, the team members standing next to them couldn't help but ask.

"The superiors told us to hold on here for half an hour, and then quickly follow the retreat of the troops, mainly to protect ourselves, without charging into battle and fighting to the death with the enemy......"

The captain of the upper ninja replied dryly, and it seemed that he had not completely sobered up from the inexplicable instructions given by his superiors.

This battle has not yet begun, how can the problem of retreat be considered? Isn't it a little too fast?

It's as if the commanders already knew that they couldn't defeat the Konoha ninja who came by surprise and needed to retreat?

Although they were puzzled, the captains of the upper ninja only hesitated for a moment about the order of their superiors, and then ordered all the team members:

"Prepare for battle, pay attention to the signal flare in the sky after half an hour, and withdraw from the front as soon as you hear the signal!"

"Yes!"

The ninjas of the country of demons standing on the high wall responded one after another.

And the Konoha ninja troops who rushed out of the forest and attacked the front of the fortress wall did not adopt any detours or trap tactics, firstly, this was a tough battle, and secondly, the other side also had ninjas from the Hyuga clan, and any tactics were not as effective as a frontal raid.

Although this will result in a slightly heavier number of casualties on the Konoha side, the first step of the strategic objective can be accomplished by capturing this fortress and uprooting the defender base of the Oni Country stationed on the border of the Bear Country.

Only after the first step is completed can the next steps of the second and third steps of the strategy be effectively implemented.

For Konoha, this is a battle to the death!

No matter how great the sacrifice is, you must take this fortress fortress!

"Open the trap and try to consume their number and chakra as much as possible!"

Looking at the Konoha ninja troops like locusts crossing the border, the number is roughly numbered, there are thousands of people, and it may even reach more than 1,500 people, less than 2,000 people.

This number is far higher than the number of ninjas stationed on the border of the Bear Country.

Aside from the logistical work and medical staff, there are less than 300 ninjas stationed here.

The country of demons has always adopted an elite strategy against ninjas.

Even for the lower ninja, there are extremely high professional requirements.

Because of this, the number of ninjas in the country of ghosts seems to be far less than that of other big countries.

With such an order, the high walls of the originally smooth fortress immediately raised pitch-black barbs, flashing with dazzling silver light under the snowy night, proving its sharpness.

Barbs are densely arranged between barbs, leaving gaps that are not enough for ninjas to have a foothold on them.

If a ninja tries to climb over this high wall, he will definitely be injured by such a pitch-black barb, piercing the soles of his feet.

Beyond the barb, there was a groove area, and the sound of the mechanical gears began to roar, and the groove opened the window, and the pitch-black barrel of the same color as the barb protruded from the window of the groove, which was extremely conspicuous in the cold white night.

"Attack it with earth!"

I wanted to climb the wall to reach the top of the fortress, but now the outer edge of the fortress is full of barbed areas, and there is no way for people to run on it.

Moreover, the barrel that protrudes from the grooved window is probably quite destructive artillery.

This weapon has been improved by the military technicians of the Oni Country, and the destructive power and shock wave generated by its explosion have completely surpassed the ordinary nature of Fire Escape Ninjutsu.

Under the ninjutsu of the Earth Ninja, a towering earthen wall like a city wall began to rise from the snow, and continued to accumulate and increase in height.

However, as the pitch-black barrels on the walls of the fortress erupted like bursting fire, a volley of cannonballs erupted.

Rumble!

The tall earthen wall that towered in front of the fortress instantly turned into countless clods of earth and rubble, splashing everywhere.

The Konoha ninjas, who had just climbed the earthen wall and wanted to leap up from the sky, fell from the sky like a scattered flower from the sky, vomiting blood and falling to the ground.

Although the erected earthen wall was shattered, a considerable part of the clods of earth remained, which were not blown down, and stubbornly survived the artillery fire.

Therefore, this round of artillery bombardment did not suppress the morale of Konoha attack, but instead became more and more frustrated and courageous, accumulating earth walls at a more crazy speed.

In this way, one kept firing shells and bombardment, and the other kept consuming chakra and superimposing earth.

After all, a fortress more than thirty meters tall is not so easy to break.

Especially under such dense firepower, there is basically not much empty space that can allow the Konoha ninjas to gain a foothold.

"Put!"

On the high wall, with another order from the captain of the upper ninja, one by one emitted fluorescence, and only palm-sized glass tubes were projected from the high wall.

These fluorescent glass tubes appear high in the air and attract the attention of Konoha ninjas.

The moment they raised their heads, it was as if they were looking directly at the midday sun, their eyes were white, their eyes began to stinging and weeping, and their mouths let out a muffled sound of pain, and they covered their eyes to prevent them from being blinded by this flashing weapon.

At this moment, a pitch-black dot appeared in the far sky, and it was the rapid figure of a ninja riding a flying ninja.

"Huh, is it finally here?"

The captain of the upper ninja snorted lightly, the flying ninjas who appeared here were not the reconnaissance troops who went out to patrol in the country of ghosts, but the air combat troops belonging to the Konoha Ninja Village.

They have purchased a lot of flying ninja equipment from the country of ghosts, and in these years of actual combat exercises, they obviously also have the ability to fight in the air.

Since it was a surprise operation, there was no reason not to send out air combat troops.

However, Captain Shinobi was not worried.

Not long after the appearance of the Konoha air combat unit, figures also flew out of the fortress one after another, meeting the air combat force of Konoha.

Without air supremacy, it can be especially difficult in the wars of the modern age, especially when it comes to raids and cover.

The earthen wall piled up by the Konoha ninja, even if it was more than ten meters thick, was unexpectedly shattered again under the cover of dense artillery fire, and a huge crater was cut out in the middle, and the scene was as if it had been hit by a meteorite, which was shocking.

Snowflakes, blood, and tumbling dirt mixed together to dye an unusually blood-red color.

The north wind was raging, the earth was shaking, and the cannon was firing incessantly in the pre-dawn night.

"Die!"

Even if the earth wall created by Tu Dun is slow, the progress of the siege can be called slow, but the existence of the ninja cannot be inferred with common sense.

It only takes a split second of opportunity for them to accomplish miraculous feats.

After a short but fierce resistance, the ninja of Konoha finally rushed from high in the air to the high wall that surrounded the outer perimeter of the fortress.

A shinobi captain raised his firearm and pointed it at the other side.

The Konoha ninja also reacted instantly, throwing out a kunai with sharp lightning attached to it to fend off the bullets fired from the muzzle of the opponent.

And yet—

From the dark and deep muzzle of the gun, instead of bullets, torrents of flames like lava were fired.

With lightning speed, the kunai who carried the thunder and lightning, along with the Konoha ninja behind him, was swallowed into the torrent of flames, and without even screaming, a charred corpse fell from the air, bubbling with the smell of roasted meat.

Ku Wu fell weakly at the feet of the captain of the upper ninja, making a snapping sound.

After the incineration of the high-temperature flame torrent, the thunder and lightning attribute chakra on the kunai dissipated, and there were still serious burn gaps, which were no longer usable.

The Konoha ninjas who saw this scene showed a look of shock.

Immediately, I felt awe-inspiring in my heart, thinking that I must not be hit head-on by that kind of weapon.

When the ninjas of the Oni Country on the high wall and the Konoha ninja troops who came by surprise start a fierce attack battle-

Command posts, warehouses, dormitories and other areas inside the fortress are also in action.

I saw that the fighters and staff who stayed inside the fortress completed the tasks assigned by their superiors in an orderly manner.

Even if the fortress was fiercely attacked by the enemy, they were only slightly nervous, but they did not fall into disorderly chaos.

All the intelligence documents and war supplies they were able to take with them began to be moved outside.

After these things were carried out, a large number of large military off-road transport vehicles had been waiting outside for a long time.

Weapons, food, medicine, clothing, sundries, etc., were crammed into the transporter at an extremely exaggerated speed, leaving almost nothing for the enemy to use.

Outside, the artillery roared, the flames burned half of the sky, and the hot air currents could be clearly felt even inside the fortress, as well as the smell of blood wafting in the air.

This has undoubtedly further accelerated their work.

- On the high wall, with the first Konoha ninja to break through the defense line, there will be a second, a third, and then endlessly.

Therefore, after eliminating the first Konoha ninja who tried to climb the high wall, the captain of the upper ninja did not have a relaxed look in his eyes, he knew that this kind of defense could not resist the advance of the Konoha ninja army.

From the time they carried out the battle in a stable and efficient manner, and deliberately chose this cold winter night that no one could have imagined, it was obvious that they were prepared, and they were not attacking indiscriminately.

As time passed, the intensity of the artillery fire became smaller and smaller, and although a lot of Konoha ninja chakras were consumed, the lethality caused by the accumulation of layers of earth was limited after all.

Konoha ninjas only jump from the earthen wall and attack the high wall, the casualties increase rapidly.

But even so, under the suppression of several times the force, the Oni no Kuni ninja squad guarding the high wall is limited in what they can do.

They can only use their strengths as much as possible, and then delay as much time as possible to drag the Konoha ninja in this place.

Once again, a torrent of flames erupted, incinerating the Konoha ninja who tried to attack from a high altitude to death, and the rest of the team also took action.

Because more Konoha ninjas jumped up, after paying a lot of price, Konoha ninjas obviously passed the most difficult level in this battle.

Bite!

"What!?"

The kunai attached to the wind attribute chakra could not pierce the chakra armor on the captain of the upper ninja, not only that, but the Konoha ninja who attacked him suddenly felt weakness all over his body, and the chakra in his body began to decrease wildly, and his eyes showed a look of horror and despair.

Bang!

Without firing the flame torrent, the captain of the upper ninja directly took the butt of the gun and smashed it on the head of the Konoha ninja, the skull shattered, and after the blood gushed out, he fell to the ground weakly.

Immediately afterwards, he turned around again, and the dark muzzle of the gun suddenly hit the forehead of the Konoha ninja who wanted to sneak attack him from behind, making the cold sweat of fear dripping from the other party's forehead, and his eyes were indifferent.

Airplanes!

Flames erupted, and waves of scorching air rolled and spread in all directions, engulfing the Konoha ninja's body and burning it into a charred corpse that smelled of burning.

Flying snowflakes, mixed with the explosion of lightning, flames, water balls, and stone pillars, reduced the high walls to a fierce battlefield.

In the sky, the air combat ninjas on both sides also kept controlling the ninja equipment and firing explosive bombs while dodging the enemy's attacks, causing the sky to burn out of thin air, turning into a raging sea of fire, and the black smoke that rolled up kept churning.

Rumble!

The walls shook.

What a strong attack.

I saw that at the location of the gate, in the violent explosion, a huge crater appeared.

Although it failed to completely hollow out this gate, this explosion was only the beginning, and more attacks followed, one after another.

It didn't take long for this stone giant gate, which was thick enough to withstand the bombardment of ninjutsu, and it was difficult to maintain it for too long under such a ferocious attack.

Rumble!

With the final explosion, the stone gate was finally blasted open by the Konoha ninja.

Large white stones tumbled around, belching white dust, and it was impossible to tell whether it was dust and smoke or snow.

Figures flickered and followed, rushing into the fortress.

Despite his disgraced face and inadequate posture, Chakra was in good spirits and bright-eyed, and it was obvious that he could continue to fight.

"Stop them! Don't let them escape! ”

Konoha Kamishinobi, who took the lead, saw the transport vehicle full of various materials, and the other party didn't seem to plan to defend it, but to plan, and the work of converging the materials had come to an end. couldn't help but wave his hand quickly, letting the surrounding Konoha ninjas follow up and stop it.

As long as they are stopped, this batch of supplies will be reduced to their supplies, reducing the material pressure on the raiding troops.

In the face of the rushing Konoha ninjas, the staff in charge of transporting the materials did not pay attention, but continued to stuff the supplies very calmly, and the accompanying fighters took the first step to take action and stepped forward to stop the rushing Konoha ninjas.

Flashbangs were projectile out, and the scorching sunlight directly blocked the Konoha ninja's field of vision.

"Fire escape, fire extinguished!"

The leader of the upper ninja captain, wearing chakra armor, put the firearm on the backpack behind him, opened the red three-hook jade writing wheel eye, sealed his hands, accumulated a large amount of chakra in his mouth in one go, and spat in front of him.

The sea of fire spreads across the border, and the snowflakes along the way instantly turn into boiling hot water, and the hard stone slabs are also dyed in a charred black color, like a thousand horses galloping and sweeping towards the attacking Konoha ninja.

"Water Escape, Water Array Wall!"

In the panic, although the Konoha ninjas could not figure out the specific situation ahead because of the flashbangs, they could still vaguely distinguish the situation and use water to extinguish the fire.

Water and fire collided, and the hot steam covered many Konoha ninjas, and the screams continued, and the Konoha ninjas who were swallowed by the hot steam had serious burns on their bodies, and the skin exposed to the air was destroyed in a large area.

"Retreat!"

The Uchiha ninja in the lead did not waver at this, but calmly gestured and signaled the convoy loaded with supplies to quickly evacuate the place.

Shout!

The flare flew into the air and exploded incessantly.

As the group of retreating flares was fired into the air, more flashbangs were sent into the sky.

Illuminating the entire fortress, while blocking the view of the Konoha ninjas, it also provided a protective environment for the ninjas of the Oni Country to evacuate from the battlefield.

Bang!

casually smashed down a Konoha ninja whose vision was suddenly blocked with a firearm.,The captain of the upper ninja on the high wall.,Didn't fight.,Issued an order with the communicator in his ear.,Beckoning the members of the same group to evacuate.。

Because more Konoha ninjas charged up, if they fell into the encirclement of Konoha forces, it would definitely end in their defeat.

Many of the members of the squad have begun to be wounded, and even if several upper ninja captains are wearing chakra armor, under the attack of the Konoha upper ninja's group, they can only secretly hold on and cannot effectively fight back.

Chakra armor was not enough for them to defeat several times their own strength.

Being able to use one enemy and two to contain the ferocious attacks of the two ninjas of the same level has been exerted to the greatest extent.

Bang!

The illuminated lighthouse, located at the highest point of the fortress, collapsed for some reason, directly drawing a temporary dividing line between the Ninja of the Oni Country and the Ninja of Konoha .

There were a few Konoha ninjas who were unlucky enough to retreat, and they were directly crushed in the ruins, not knowing whether they were alive or dead.

Thick dust rolls with snowflakes.

The smell of gunpowder smoke from the battle covered the area.

The motors began to start, and the transport truck, loaded with supplies, ran wildly through the snow, rushing out of the fortress with a 100-meter dash from the emergency exit, the tires turning, and the snowflakes soared into the sky.

In addition to the necessary supplies, there are also non-ninja work and medical personnel, while combat ninjas run on foot and gallop at the same speed, protecting the transport vehicle in the center of the team and evacuating towards the west.

◎

When Jiraiya came to this fortress fortress that had been attacked by Konoha, it was already dawn.

The smoke and hot air currents did not disappear from the battlefield, but continued to be warmer than the surrounding snowfall area.

The inside of the fortress has been reduced to a ruin, although some places can still be used unobstructed, such as water and electricity, such as housing, but the various materials in the fortress, after rummaging for most of the day, did not find too many things that could be replenished, and were completely taken away by the ninjas of the country of ghosts.

Fortunately, the raiding force carried supplies with them and could hold out for several days. In addition, Jiraiya, who arrived half a day late, and the hundreds of Konoha ninjas who came with him also brought a large number of supplies, which together were enough to be used for a long time.

After all, it was impractical from the beginning to defeat the country of ghosts with a blitzkrieg, and every shadow of the alliance knew this very well.

Even if four ninja villages enter at the same time, it is not realistic to end the war in a short time.

According to the best estimates, once this war is fought, it is likely to last for two years, if not longer.

But Jiraiya has confidence that in the end, it must be Konoha victory.

Just like the past three ninja wars, this time, they will also be illuminated by the victorious brilliance of the Hokage of the past generations!

Along with Jiraiya, there is also Nara Shikahisa, the head of the upper ninja squad, the Akido Dingza of the Akido clan, and the Yamanaka Haichi of the Yamanaka clan.

In addition to him, the three ninjas, the highest level of combat power here, and at the same time, the most powerful staff officer.

"I didn't expect that just attacking a small front-line fortress would cause such a big loss......"

Lu Jiu's expression was extremely solemn when he got the casualty reports counted by various troops.

This casualty was even more serious than he imagined.

When the country of ghosts faced a surprise attack, the ability to mobilize and counterattack, as well as the ability to maneuver when evacuating, allowed Konoha to find no gaps, and could only keep filling the pit with his life and attacking it from the front.

In this raid battle, with Konoha having an absolute numerical advantage, two hundred and seven ninjas were killed, sixty-nine were seriously wounded, and two hundred and sixty were lightly wounded.

A third of the ninjas who raided the force suffered casualties.

According to the results of Konoha's statistics, the number of ninjas in the Oni Country stationed in this fortress is less than three hundred, and with the rest of the logistics personnel, there are only six hundred people at most.

But the combat-type ninjas, especially those who wore chakra armor and served as the team leader, showed great combat effectiveness and gave the Konoha ninjas on the attacking side a headache.

It often takes two upper ninjas to contain one, and the middle ninja and the lower ninja face them, which is a one-sided slaughter.

The ninjas of the country of demons, even the combat power presented on paper is terrifying.

Now that it has been effectively practiced, it is even more terrifying.

The will to fight, the ninjutsu mastered, they are not inferior to the Konoha ninja at all.

And the ability to organize and mobilize during the battle, as well as the weapons and equipment used in the battle, even if he is unwilling, Shikaku has to admit that the other party is superior to Konoha.

Jiraiya patted Lu Jiu on the shoulder as a sign of comfort.

"Don't worry, the country of ghosts is the fastest, and the counterattack will have to wait until the early hours of tomorrow morning. And our support troops will arrive in the afternoon. In addition, Iwakure has secretly infiltrated the country of bears, blowing up the railway connecting the country of ghosts and the country of bears, and the supply and support of the country of ghosts may be delayed. At that time, we will be able to wipe out all the ninjas of the Oni Country stationed in the territory of the Bear Country. ”

Shikaku nodded, agreeing with Jiraiya's point of view.

So he began to command the surrounding Konoha ninjas to use this fortress to build a command camp for Konoha to use.

Next, it's the hardest battle! Who will come over those three people?

Lu Jiu looked at the gray sky in the distance and said silently.
