Chapter 220 Artillery Battle in the Valley of the End 3
"puff!"
Jiraiya took the scroll handed over to the dark part of the scroll and opened it.
In a burst of white smoke, a slender round tube appeared, about two centimeters thick and one meter or two long. Behind the iron tube was a grip, trigger, and hammer retard.
If the Moonlight Man saw the things in these seal scrolls here, he would definitely admire the imitation ability of these ninjas. Aren’t these weapons all imitating their own weapons! Even old antiques like the mesh gun are also admirable. However, if you want to compare them with your own weapons, the gap is still very huge.
"Mr. Jiraiya, these are the assembly drawings and instructions for use!"
The Anbu Ninja who sent the sealed scroll took out a scroll from his arms and handed it to Jiraiya very solemnly.
"With these things, I'm sure I can compete with the army under Moonlight Han." After opening the scroll in my hand and reading the contents, Jiraiya finally smiled a little.
The weapons that imitate the research of Moonlight Man was established to establish a research project two years ago. Especially since the third month after the disappearance of Moonlight Man, Konoha has increased its research efforts, which is almost the research project that Konoha attaches most importance to.
Although these weapons are far inferior to the weapons of the troops under the Moonlight Han in all aspects, they can also narrow the strength gap between the two sides. At least, the combat effectiveness of ordinary soldiers on his side has been greatly improved. This is the increase in the combat power of soldiers and the decrease in the weapon gap between the two sides.
This is a good start. As long as they stubbornly resist the attack of the troops under the Moonlight Han, as the research in the rear continues to deepen, the gap in weapons will definitely become smaller and smaller, to narrow the gap, or even surpass the troops under the Moonlight Han.
As new weapons continue to be delivered and more soldiers are formed, their offensive pressure will become less and less until they counterattack the Moonlight Han army.
The number of guns sent is too small now, with only 300 guns, only twenty cannons, and only thirty mortars. However, the scroll has already said that the rear has been manufacturing faster, almost mobilizing most of the people in the village, and more new weapons will be delivered here soon.
The only drawback is that the Moonlight Han's steel chariot and huge robots are still at a loss. The research department even invited the puppet master Chiyo from Sakai and many puppet ninjas, but there was no way out. Just making the steel chariot move is a huge problem.
Thinking of it, Jiraiya's smile had just disappeared again. Yes, Moonlight Han's weapons were not just these guns, but also many powerful weapons. Although the gap between the two sides has narrowed a little, there is still a huge gap, and there is still a long way to go. During this period, I still don't know how many people will die in this war initiated by Moonlight Han alone. He was even unsure whether he could persevere until the war was won.
"Kakashi! Call the shangns over and start testing new weapons."
Jiraiya sighed in his heart and ordered his disciples behind him.
"yes!"
Upon hearing this, Kakashi immediately took the order and said, disappearing behind Jiraiya. His voice now no longer had the arrogance he had at the time, but he also lost his anger, and seemed dead.

"The enemy is coming again!"
At the edge of the Valley of Ending, the Fire Country Defense Line. With the shouts of the Hinja Ninja, dozens of Fire Country soldiers and three ninjas immediately rushed out of the hidden anti-cannon holes and rushed to the giant trees on the edge of the canyon, preparing to use the same trick again, cutting off the rope wire connected to the crossbow arrows.
This was the fifth time in twenty minutes they had stopped the enemy from crossing the canyon through the ropes. The first four times were successful, and the price was that after success, half of the people who rushed out fell into the enemy's artillery fire, and the death toll reached 200.
Even if they rescued the wounded, most of them could only stop the bleeding and hide in the anti-cannon hole to continue to die.
It’s not that they don’t want the wounded to retreat to the rear, but that the mortar strike that only comes after repelling the enemy at the edge of the canyon, the enemy’s artillery suppression of the overall defense line is even more terrifying and has never stopped.
Compared with the power of the mortar, the explosion behind was a 75mm mountain cannon and a 150mm caliber heavy cannon, and even a larger caliber cannon. Just wanting to come up from the supporters behind would cost considerable casualties.
It is rare for ten people to support from that terrifying artillery fire. It is already very rare to have four or five support to come in front. Now the support has stopped, and the earth-escape ninja is speeding up to dig deep enough to come over.
After the people in the anti-cannon hole rushed out, they seemed to have a tacit understanding. Fierce gunshots sounded across the canyon, smashing the already-ridden giant tree shrubs so that wood chips flew across and branches and leaves splashed. However, Konoha Ninja and the soldiers of the Fire Kingdom who had dealt with this situation three times also had experience in dealing with it. A blocked earth wall rose in the gaps of the giant trees, blocking the shooting of dense bullets.
"Swish swish swish swish...!"
However, this accident happened. Before they could destroy the ropes, the sound of mortar shells roaring in the sky.
This was not before. The clones were worried that the mortar bomb rope would lead to tactical failure, but this time, the clones were no longer concerned.
"Boom......"
The violent and dense explosions continued to explode in the forest on the edge of the canyon where the bombs were already craters were spread. The flying shrapnel and the explosion flames kept roaring, almost covering up the gaps between the trees on the edge of the canyon.
"Crazy...!"
The sound of pulleys was still ringing. Under the cover of artillery fire and machine guns, with four or five soldiers working together to pull one soldier, fifty soldiers quickly slid towards the opposite side of the canyon. Some unfortunate soldiers also fell into the canyon because the rope was blown off by shells or shrapnel. Some cloned soldiers were even hit by shrapnel shot into a corpse.
"Bang bang bang bang bang...!"
At the same time, more crossbow arrows with ropes shot over, and more cloned soldiers slid towards the opposite side of the canyon with pulleys. (The heights of the two canyons are not much different, so someone needs to pull them with steel wire to quickly reach the opposite side.)
"Damn it, the enemy is crazy. If you go to another team of people, you must destroy all the ropes."
In the anti-cannon hole on the edge of the canyon, the ninjas of the Hinata clan cursed and shouted loudly. The enemy was crazy, and they had no doubt that such an explosion would kill his own people and rushed over, but now they could only go crazy together.
