"Everyone is alert, start fighting!"

Amidst the sound of the alarm, the Jonin captains of each team on the high wall saw a large number of figures pouring out of the forest. After a moment of astonishment, they immediately recovered from their daze and began to shout loudly.

Yelled.

"Captain, the ones attacking are Konoha's ninjas!"

The Hyuga clan ninja with the ability to see far shouted loudly.

He used the ability of the Byakugan to clearly see the identity of this group of ninjas who came to attack, and they came from the Konoha Ninja Village.

"No matter which side they are from, defeat them for me!"

Although the jounin captain is confused about the reason why Konoha ninjas appear here, the enemy has arrived, and the most important thing is to hold on to this fortress and repel the enemy.

At this moment, the walkie-talkie hung by the Jonin captain's ear first made a noisy sound, and then returned to stability.

The person on the other side of the intercom quickly spoke a word and gave an order, which made the Jonin captains guarding the high wall look shocked.

"What's the matter, Captain?"

Sensing the strange expressions on the Jonin captains' faces, the team members standing nearby couldn't help but ask.

"The superiors asked us to stay here for half an hour, and then quickly follow the troops to retreat. The main purpose is to protect ourselves. There is no need to charge into battle and fight the enemy to the death..."

The Jonin captain replied dryly, as if he had not yet fully awakened from the inexplicable instructions given by his superiors.

This battle has not yet begun, why are you considering retreat? Is it too fast?

It's as if the commanders had known for a long time that they couldn't defeat the Konoha ninjas who were attacking and needed to retreat?

Although they were confused, the Jonin captains only hesitated for a moment at the orders from their superiors, and then ordered the team members:

"Prepare to fight. Pay attention to the signal flares in the sky in half an hour. When you hear the signal, evacuate the front immediately!"

"yes!"

The ninjas from the Kingdom of Ghosts standing on the high wall responded one after another.

The Konoha ninja troops who rushed out of the forest and made a frontal assault towards the high wall of the fortress did not adopt any detours or trap tactics. Firstly, this was a tough battle, and secondly, the opponent also had ninjas from the Hyuga clan. Any tactics were inferior to a frontal assault.

efficient.

Although doing so will result in slightly heavier casualties on the Konoha side, as long as this fortress is captured and the Demon Country's garrison base stationed on the border of the Bear Country is removed, the first step of the strategic goal can be achieved.

Only by completing the first step can the subsequent second and third step strategies be effectively implemented.

For Konoha, this is a battle to the death!

No matter how great the sacrifice is, we must capture this fortress!

"Open the mechanism and consume as many of their numbers and chakra as possible!"

Looking at the Konoha ninja troops that looked like locusts crossing the border, a rough count showed that there were thousands of people, maybe even more than 1,500 and less than 2,000.

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

Putting aside the logistics work and medical staff, there are less than three hundred ninjas stationed here.

The Kingdom of Ghosts has always adopted a strategy of elite soldiers against ninjas.

Even for genin, there are extremely high professional requirements.

Because of this, the number of ninjas in the Kingdom of Demons seems to be far lower than that of other major countries...

As this order was issued, pitch-black barbs immediately protruded from the originally smooth high wall of the fortress. Under the snowy night, they shone with a dazzling silver light, proving their sharpness.

The barbs were densely arranged, leaving little space for a ninja to gain a foothold on.

If a ninja tried to climb over this high wall, he would definitely be injured by such a black barb that would pierce his sole.

The place outside the barbs is the groove area, and the sound of mechanical gears begins to roar. The groove opens the window, and the dark barrel of the same color as the barb protrudes from the groove window, in the ice-white cold night.

Extremely conspicuous.

"Use earth escape to attack!"

I originally wanted to reach the top of the fortress by climbing the wall, but now the outside of the fortress is full of barbed areas, making it impossible for people to run on it.

Moreover, the barrel protruding from the grooved window is probably a very destructive artillery piece.

This weapon has been improved by the military technicians of the Kingdom of Demons. The destructive power and shock wave produced by its explosion have completely exceeded the general fire escape ninjutsu.

Under the ninjutsu of the earth escape ninja, towering earth walls like city walls began to rise from the snow, and they continued to accumulate and increase in height.

However, as the dark cannon barrels on the fortress walls erupted with bursts of fire, a row of cannonballs were fired out.

boom!

The tall earth wall standing in front of the fortress instantly turned into countless pieces of earth and rubble, flying everywhere.

The Konoha ninjas who had just climbed onto the earth wall and wanted to jump up from the sky were like falling flowers from the sky, and they vomited blood and fell to the ground.

Although the earth wall that was built was smashed, a considerable part of the earth remained, which was not destroyed and survived the artillery fire tenaciously.

Therefore, this round of bombardment did not suppress the morale of Konoha's attack. Instead, they used earth escape more and more courageously, accumulating earth walls at an even crazier speed.

In this way, one kept firing cannonballs and bombarded them, while the other kept consuming chakra and performing earth escape.

After all, a fortress more than thirty meters high is not that easy to break.

Especially under such dense firepower coverage, there were basically not many blank areas for the Konoha ninjas to gain a foothold.

"put!"

On the high wall, following another order from the Jonin captain, palm-sized glass tubes emitting fluorescent light were ejected from the high wall.

These fluorescent glass tubes appeared high in the sky, attracting the attention of Konoha ninjas.

The moment they raised their heads, it was as if they were looking directly at the sun at noon. Their eyes were all white. Their eyes couldn't help but sting and began to cry. They also made a painful groan in their mouths. They covered their eyes to prevent them from being affected by this kind of damage.

Flash weapons flash blind.

At this moment, a small black dot appeared in the far sky, which was the figure of a ninja riding a flying ninja tool.

"Humph, are you finally here?"

The jounin captain snorted. The flying ninjas who appeared here were not the reconnaissance troops patrolling the Kingdom of Demons, but the air combat troops affiliated with the Konoha Ninja Village.

They purchased a lot of flying ninja tools from the Kingdom of Ghosts, and during these years of actual combat exercises, they obviously also have the ability to fight in the air...

Since it is a raid, there is no reason not to dispatch air combat troops.

However, the Jonin captain was not worried about this.

Not long after Konoha's air combat troops appeared, figures flew out of the fortress one after another to attack Konoha's air combat troops.

Without air superiority, it will be particularly difficult in today's wars, especially when conducting raids and cover operations.

The earthen wall piled up by the Konoha ninjas, even if it was more than ten meters thick, was not surprisingly shattered again under the cover of intensive artillery fire, and a huge hole was dug out in the middle. The scene was like a meteorite. It was as shocking as if it had been hit before.

Snowflakes, blood, and rolling soil mixed together, dyeing it an unusual blood red.

The north wind was raging, the earth was shaking, and the cannons were ringing in the night before dawn.

"go to hell!"

Even though the earth wall created by Earth Escape can be said to be very slow in its siege progress, the existence of ninjas cannot be deduced by common sense.

As long as they seize a moment's opportunity, they may accomplish miraculous feats.

After experiencing a short but fierce resistance, Konoha's ninjas finally rushed from high altitude to the high wall surrounding the fortress.

A Jonin captain raised the gun in his hand and pointed it at the opponent.

The Konoha ninja reacted instantly and threw out a kunai, which was attached with sharp lightning to block the bullets fired from the opponent's gun.

However--

What was shot out from the dark and deep muzzle was not a bullet, but a torrent of flames like lava.

With lightning speed, the kunai carrying the thunder and lightning, together with the Konoha ninja behind, were swallowed into the torrent of flames. Not even a scream was heard, and a charred corpse fell from the sky, risking the roasting process. The meaty smell of the lake.

The kunai fell weakly at the Jonin captain's feet, making a snapping sound.

After being burned by the torrent of high-temperature flames, the thunder and lightning attribute chakra on the kunai was dissipated, and there were still serious burn wounds, making it unusable.

The Konoha ninjas who saw this scene all looked shocked.

Then I felt awe in my heart, thinking that I would never 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 were engaged in a fierce attack——

The command post, warehouses, dormitories and other areas within the fortress are also under action.

I saw the combatants and staff staying inside the fortress completing the tasks assigned by their superiors in an orderly manner.

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

They began to carry all the intelligence documents and combat preparation materials they could take away outside.

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

Weapons, food, medicine, clothes, sundries, etc., were crammed into the transport truck at an extremely exaggerated speed, leaving almost no supplies that could be used by the enemy.
