Chapter 559 The Response to the Rope Tree
On the morning of the second day after the coalition forces attacked the Wind Kingdom, 60,000 troops from Sahidun Village finally gathered in a big city in the east.
This city is not only rich in resources, but also located in the transportation center in the east. The high-level leaders of Saiyin infer that this is a must-pass place for the coalition forces, so they designated this place as a place for the decisive battle.
At 8 o'clock in the morning, the Sky Fortress, which was shining with metallic luster, really came in the rising sun.
Last night, the coalition forces did not stop for a moment, and drove the fortress to sweep the east in turn. Dozens of towns were destroyed overnight, and nearly half of the eastern part of the entire Wind Kingdom was turned into ruins.
In the main hall of the Tianxing Fortress, the senior coalition forces who had been resting for a night gathered again. Through the screen in the crystal pillar, everyone saw the 60,000 Sandren lurking in the city.
"It seems that Satsuki is finally going to fight us." Qiangshu smiled relaxedly as he looked at the scene in the light screen.
Tsunade frowned and said, "They did not choose to go out of the city to fight, but instead lie in the city with 60,000 troops. Do they want to attack?"
Orochimaru said with a gloomy face: "I'm afraid it's more than that. They want to engage in street fighting in the city and use the geographical advantage to consume our strength."
Jiraiya said in surprise: "Fighting streets with us? Do they ignore the safety of civilians?"
"The population of this big city is hundreds of thousands. If they mix with civilians and launch sneak attacks, it will cause us a lot of trouble." Uchiha patriarch said with a sneer: "The best solution is to massacre the city and eliminate the Sagnin and the civilians together."
"This..." Some of the senior officials present couldn't help frowning. Massacre of civilians rarely happens in the war in the ninja world. Once this opening is opened, Konoha's enemies can retaliate against the Kingdom of Fire in the same way in the future. Moreover, the two countries will also form irreconcilable deep hatred.
However, some people present had no scruples. Hanzo said firmly, "My Rain Country has long been with Feng Zhi Country. Please allow me to lead Yu Nin and fight Saurin alone to death. I will never affect Konoha's reputation."
The Konoha senior management present was very happy to see Hanzo asking for his request. It would be better for Yu Nin to be willing to take the lead.
After looking at Hanzo deeply, Yoshiki said with a smile: "Hanzo is such a bad word. The Kingdom of Rain and Konoha are all ally, so they should advance and retreat together. How can you make a decisive battle with Satsuki alone?
Besides, why do we have to engage in street battles with the enemy? Now the fortress has sufficient energy. With the power of laser cannons, it only takes one round of volleys to destroy the city on the ground. There is no need to let the soldiers take risks."
Hanzo actually didn't want Yu Ren to be cannon fodder for nothing. He just took the initiative to ask for his life and was a strategy of retreating to advance. Now he heard Shengshu's answer and said with a touching look on the surface: "Your sympathy for your subordinates is worthy of the name of the Skywalker."
Rose Tree waved his hand indifferently and said, "Your Excellency has said it. However, destroying towns with laser cannons can certainly win, but massacre of civilians is really against humanitarianism.
We are the righteous teacher who fights against evil and must not do such cruel things!"
The Konoha senior executives present felt awkward when they saw the Yoshiki's appearance, and they felt a little uncomfortable. The previous act of destroying towns and capturing civilians was not tied to justice, right?
In fact, the reason why Rope Tree is unwilling to use laser cannons to win is certainly not because of justice.
With the launch of thousands of cannons, it was very refreshing to destroy the city and the Sand Hidden Army, but the result was not very good for Konoha.
The main purpose of Konoha's war was to defeat the Kingdom of Wind and force them to surrender, rather than really destroying the entire Kingdom of Wind.
If the Sagnin and hundreds of thousands of civilians were killed together, the country of rectification will fall into chaos and will never end with Konoha. In this way, Konoha will not only not get any benefits, but will have an extra troublesome enemy.
Therefore, the Sand Ninja must have enough power to protect himself, so as not to be cheaper by other countries after the war.
Of course, the senior coalition leaders present did not think as deeply as Rope Tree. In most people's eyes, it was enough to win, and the moment was undoubtedly the best opportunity.
"Lord Yoshiki, the Saninaka is willing to fight us in a decisive battle. It is a good opportunity to quickly win the war. Isn't it a pity to miss it like this?" Hinata asked with a frown.
Other pro-war factions also nodded and agreed.
Seeing everyone's reaction, Yoshiki explained confidently: "What Hyuga's clan leader said is certainly very reasonable, but have you ever thought that it is necessary for us to seize time to end this war as soon as possible?
Now we have Tianxing Fortress as a mobile base, which has the advantages of maneuver, defense and logistics in all aspects.
He went to dozens of cities in one day and one night, and obtained a large amount of food and population.
In contrast, the country of wind has a depressed economy and is scarce. The whole country is counting on the autumn harvest and surviving the food shortage.
So as long as we destroy the towns and harvest food step by step, the fighting spirit of the Wind Kingdom will gradually collapse and we will win sooner or later. The decisive battle with it will arouse the enemy's will to resist."
After being reminded by the rope tree, the senior leaders of the coalition nodded suddenly. According to their past experience, the best way to fight quickly in the battle between the enemy army, but with the Tianxing Fortress, the original enemy's home court advantage became a disadvantage. In this case, there is naturally no need to break with the opponent. The most advantageous choice is to force the opponent to surrender by using erosion.
"Sir Rose Tree, how should we do next?" The Air Force leader, who had not interrupted, asked at this time.
Shengshu said with a smile: "Since Satsuki wants to defend himself, let them stay here.
We will first jump over this city and go to the next target. After the surrounding towns are destroyed, we can trap them in this lonely city!"
"Abide by the orders of lord!" The senior coalition leaders answered in unison with conscience.
Soon the Skywalker Fortress set off again and flew towards the next target southwest.
The Sand Ninja and civilians who were originally on guard in the ground city saw the terrifying fortress hovering in the air for a while, and then left again, they were unsure, so the ground looked at each other.
Soon the civilians in the city cheered enthusiastically. They thought the enemy was scared away by the Saying army and that their homes would not have to be destroyed by the war, which was of course a happy thing.
