Chapter 218 Artillery Battle in the Valley of the End
"Our defense line... is over!"
The hiding Iwashin's eyeliners looked at the defense line of the land in the distance in despair. Although the scene was not as terrifying as before, it was obviously exploded underground. Needless to think about it, the authentic tunnels and spaces in the underground defense line were finished.
"Create how many people are alive."
The commander Ironin said quickly. Everyone was nervously looking at the Ironin who was responsible for the information transmission.
But this time, I sent off the newly summoned psychic beast and there was no movement. Even the psychic beasts on the opposite side could not come out.
"I can't contact the people inside, and even the spiritual beast is dead."
Iwanori, who was conveying the information, said with tears in his eyes.
The situation of this result is obvious. The first line of defense in the Land of Earth has been completely completed, and the death of the psychic beast shows that most of the people in it may be in danger.
"Get away!"
The leader Iwa Ninja closed his eyes and issued an order to retreat. The first line of defense has been completed, but they, the witnesses, cannot sacrifice fearlessly here. They must not. Now they have a more important thing to do, that is, try their best to convey the latest information of the Moonlight Han. Let the next line of defense seize the time to continue targeted improvements, and must not let such things continue to happen, so as to avoid more people sacrificing due to insufficient intelligence.
—————————————
After Lu Jiu fled back, no one blamed Lu Jiu for his defensive failure, because he was facing the Yueguang Han army. The loss of the first line of defense was taken for granted by everyone. The failure of the first line of defense was something that everyone had already prepared for a long time. No one expected Lu Jiu to be able to resist the attack of the Yueguang Han army. In addition, the biggest reason was that there was a serious error in the intelligence, which underestimated the power of the artillery in the Yueguang Han army. If the defense failed to achieve the expected delay effect, it would not be entirely blamed by Lu Jiu.
On the contrary, when there are serious intelligence errors, Lu Jiu can still destroy three or four thousand enemies, which is already a good job. This shows that Lu Jiu's command is not a problem, and the problem occurs in the wrong intelligence.
In addition, it is time to use people now, and Shiraku's mind is the best among Konoha, and he still needs Shiraku's mind to analyze it. It is really not suitable to hold accountable. Therefore, Shiraku not only did not receive punishment for the time being, but was still entrusted by Jiraiya to the second line of defense.
"Master Jiraiya and Lord Lu Jiu, there are about 50,000 enemies, and there are still 40 kilometers away."
In the Valley of End, when Anbe ninja knelt on one knee to report to Jiraiya and Kazuku, both of them had a heavy expression.
New intelligence naturally requires new responses and preparations, but there is still too little time for them to prepare. In just one day, the enemy will come. In a day, they only had time to deepen the trench by half a meter, and the anti-aircraft hole was deepened by two meters, and they had not had time to strengthen it.
"Lu Jiu, have you thought of a solution?"
Jiraiya looked at Nara Kazuki, hoping that Nara Kazuki had some solutions. At least the second line of defense cannot repeat the mistakes of the first line of defense.
"Defend the canyon to the death, cut off the rivers upstream of the canyon in sections, dig deep holes, and put troops into the front positions in batches. If you can defend one day, you can only hope that the enemy cannot let the troops pass through the canyon on a large scale." Nara Kazusa said. Although attrition wars and oil-adding tactics are taboos in use, this is also the only way he can think of at present. What they need at present is to delay time as much as possible and make sufficient preparations for the rear, rather than destroying the enemy.
"That's all!"
Jiraiya nodded and said, "There is no other way, and he can only trade his life for time. Fortunately, the surrounding valley of Final is dense, with large trees, bushes and wide and long canyons, which greatly limits the enemy's chariots and transportation capabilities, and has a great geographical advantage for them. Otherwise, it would be difficult to achieve this last method.
——————————————
At midnight, the night wind blew. The moon in the sky seemed particularly bright tonight.
The ninjas on duty cheered up and observed every move in the canyon below and opposite the canyon. Even if they only noticed a little bit of storm, they would let the ninjas of the Hinaga clan observe carefully.
In the anti-cannon hole that deepened to five meters overnight, soldiers and ninjas slept in their clothes. Many people could not sleep, or were anxious or enjoying the last tranquility. No one knew when this peace would be broken by shells. Who could still live after this battle? How many familiar faces would die, and how many people could continue to live in the next battle? How many people could survive until the end of the entire war was one tenth, twenty eleven or one thirty, or less.
No one knows.
The last time before the battle may be a torment for them, and it is also a rare time to enjoy and remember.
"call out……"
"boom……!"
In the silver light of the moon, a whistling sounded in the night sky, and the red flames suddenly exploded in the forest, awakening the sleeping people and bringing the people who remember them back to their deity.
"Swish swish swish swish..."
"Boom boom boom..."
Then more and more whistling sounds crossed the sky, and violent explosions continued to resound in the forest like dense firecrackers.
The branches of the giant tree were broken by explosions, and the giant tree was bombed out of large pits and holes by shells. The soil was blown up and splashed by explosions. The surrounding night sky was not bursting one after another, and it shone continuously, reflecting the terrified faces of people in the dark night.
"Here you come!"
The same words are different, speaking from people with different mentalities is different. There is relief, fear, and going with the flow.
People hid in anti-cannon holes, either trembling prayers, or waiting for the verdict of fate in silence.
Fortunately, the position of the Fire Kingdom was built in dense forests this time, and the dense trees blocked many falling shells.
The disadvantage is that the continuous explosion ignited a large area of forest. The blazing fire spread rapidly in the forest. Black smoke almost filled the entire Konoha's defense line, and it also tended to continue to spread to the rear of the Valley of Ending.
However, Konoha's side was prepared for this. After all, the Moonlight Man had a record of using incendiary bombs. Konoha had to guard against the weapon that could blow out the terrifying sea of fire, and even made them more awe-inspiring than shells. In the country of Fire, a country with more forests, the threat of incendiary bombs is very great.
When the burning fire was about to spread to the forest behind the position, a huge tsunami with a height of 30 to 40 meters and a thickness of more than 20 meters quickly washed away the fire, put out the fire, and finally flowed into the Valley of Ending.
Chapter completed!
