Create a swarm technology tree in Konoha

Chapter 74 It’s time to make up your mind

After dark, Feng Ying's face was ashen as he looked at the baggage puppet that was still burning in front of him. Now that all the baggage he was traveling with was lost, the sand ninja only had two days of dry food that he carried with him, and even the basic warning barrier for the camp. It can't be arranged, which is very difficult to do.

The Third Kazekage stood aside, watching his subordinates inspect the traces of the battle, clenching his hands into fists, and his whole body was trembling slightly.

He realized the danger after receiving the first report of the attack on the baggage train, and immediately led the Shadow Guards to come for support. However, he was led by the enemy, who used bugs to attack and distract him, chasing him twice in a row. Missed the rescue target.

Until now, Konoha's ninjas had not launched a single attack on him, but they almost destroyed two baggage troops in front of him. Kazekage was completely humiliated.

Seeing the flames burning the last baggage troop, Feng Ying's anger destroyed Feng Ying's sanity. He summoned iron sand that filled the sky and flew directly to the battlefield, killing all the bugs he could see at the time.

The Kazekage's outbreak was just a meaningless vent. The reason Sunagakure Village chose the risky raid plan as a last ditch effort was because the war resources were exhausted and they were no longer able to continue the war.

Only the second day after the raid plan started, all the supplies carried by Konoha ninjas whom they had not met were burned, which was one-third of all the supplies in the entire plan.

Although more supplies were still being stocked in the village, the remaining two-thirds were insufficient. Not only did they fail to cope with the unexpected redundancy, there were questions about whether the raid plan could continue to be implemented.

After calculation, Sunagakure's staff suggested three possibilities for Kazekage to complete the plan.

First, from now on, the raiding legion must reduce consumption. Each person's food ration will be reduced by one-third, and combat materials will be concentrated on the supply of elites.

Second, without reducing supplies, quickly and smoothly pass through Kawa no Kuni within three days, and then capture Konoha's supply team within one day, capturing all supplies completely.

Third, pray that the three thousand ninjas of the Assault Legion can perform for a long time, fight continuously within seven days, and quickly defeat the Konoha Legion and Orochimaru Legion.

Hearing the third possible suggestion, Kazekage almost beat the idiot to death on the spot. If he could do such an exaggerated thing, he would have led ten thousand sand ninjas to conquer the Leaf Village. Now he should be thinking about how to conquer the whole world. The problem of the ninja world.

However, the staff agreed that the premise of everything was to kill the Konoha ninjas who attacked the baggage train today. Otherwise, if the baggage train was completely wiped out again, everyone would just go back to Sunagakure Village and prepare to surrender.

"Tomorrow, we must kill them." The Sandaime Kazekage gave the order harshly, and all the elites went out to search for any clues about the enemy.

After successfully completing four attacks and successfully escaping the pursuit of Kazekage himself, the Aburame team retreated to a hidden camp as planned and began to rest.

The camp here is a cave specially dug with two ninety-degree turns. Aburame Iron Pill lit a fire in the deepest part. There was a kettle and an iron pot on the fire, and the delicious mushroom broth had begun to boil.

Uchiha Hiro and Inuzukao stood guard at the entrance of the cave. Their excitement had not subsided. They were chattering about the day's battle and the iron sand in the sky at the last shocking moment.

Today, the three of them followed the captain for a whole day and won four consecutive victories with completely different styles. The last two battles were fought with the support of Kazekage. More than 300 Sand Hidden Ninjas, led by Kazekage and his Shadow Guards, chased them all afternoon, but the captain used various means to mislead Kazekage's judgment, using bugs, bug clones, and shadow clones to lead the Sand Ninja around, completely Missed the Aburame Squadron.

The final battle was even more incredible. Aburame Tetsumaru led the team and walked towards the Kazekage, almost passing by the Kazekage, taking advantage of the Kazekage's gap, and successfully eliminated the enemy's last baggage train.

This is the legend.

Among the three, Nara Yoshino was the most shocked. The Nara family has always been known for its resourcefulness and has also served as the staff think tank for all previous Hokages. Because he knew more, he understood even more how exaggerated today's results were.

Aburame Tetsumaru himself had mixed feelings. On the one hand, he successfully imitated the instructor's tactics for the first time, achieved a satisfactory record, and was in a happy mood.

On the other hand, he remotely controlled a siege against the Sunagakure ninja from a distance of one hundred kilometers away. The target was the Sunagakure brigade in the southern part of his defense area, with a total of 284 people.

Aburame Tetsumaru gathered fifty sword mantises, four hundred bomb locusts, and four million giant insects to launch a strong attack on the sand ninja brigade.

The first wave of explosion traps caused more than forty casualties in Sunagakure. The Sunagakure ninjas did not show any panic. They quickly formed a formation and fought in an orderly manner under unified command.

Faced with a four-hour siege by millions of bugs, Sunagakure used ninjutsu, poison, detonating charms and other means to resist, killing nearly a million bugs. Because under the orderly command, all the sand ninjas were able to get a chance to rest, and the continuous attacks did not exhaust their chakra. In the end, more than 150 sand ninjas successfully broke through and joined the Kazekage's large force.

During the battle, Dao Mantis made many assaults. Facing the highly organized ninjutsu attacks, Dao Mantis' defense was insufficient. All fifty Dao Mantis participating in the assault died, but the results were very few.

Sunagakure's death was mainly caused by four hundred explosive migratory locusts. The first wave of migratory locusts' first attack was the most fruitful. Fully sixteen of the twenty migratory locusts rushed into Sunagakure's position and exploded, causing five More than a dozen people died.

Using the cover of the explosion, ten Dao Mantis rushed into the Sunagakure position and killed seven or eight ninjas. This was the only case of Dao Mantis's successful assault.

After that, Sunagakure initially mastered the intelligence of the Sword Mantis and the Migratory Locust, and the response became more and more effective. Although Aburame Tetsumaru invested more and more migratory locusts, the results were getting less and less.

Until the migratory locusts were exhausted and all the Sword Mantises died in the battle, the insect swarm that lost the support of its core combat power could no longer pose a threat to Sunagakure. Even the siege seemed powerless, and Sunagakure finally succeeded in breaking through.

The biggest problem here is that Aburame Tetsumaru is a super-long-range command, and the information is unclear and the response is seriously delayed. As a result, the battle of the insect swarm completely loses its rhythm, and it can only go up without any thought, which seriously reduces the combat effectiveness.

But actual combat has also proved that Dao Mantis's combat power is indeed equivalent to that of a chunin, but it is only a taijutsu ninja. Once the number of both parties involved in the battle reaches hundreds, Dao Mantis cannot be compared with ninjas.

The characteristics of ninjas are high attack and agility, low health and low defense, but the power of ninjutsu is too great. As long as there are enough ninjas, the continuous ninjutsu can form an impeccable firepower network.

A ninja brigade of more than 200 people can be effectively organized, allowing the ninjas to take turns to fight and have time to recover chakra. It is impossible to win simply by relying on the number of bugs.

In such a situation, the numerical advantage of the insect swarm is not absolute.

More importantly, a ninja brigade of this size was still able to organize the ninjas to retreat in an orderly manner when the chakra was insufficient. This time, the sand ninja broke through and ran away.

Without the bomb locusts acting as long-range firepower, Sunagakure might not have even suffered thirty casualties in this siege.

And judging from the entire battle, Sunagakure's ninjas are getting smoother and smoother, and the insect swarm is getting weaker and weaker. It can be predicted that as the intelligence is leaked, the combat effectiveness that the insect swarm can exert will continue to decline.

If you want to defeat a large-scale ninja team, you must have Aburame Tetsumaru to command nearby to maximize the advantage of numbers, and you must pay the price of at least millions of bugs.

Aburame Tetsumaru sighed. Without the intermediate command unit, the insect swarm could only fight effectively with itself as the core, and had to extinguish the delusion of destroying the army by one person.

Although not perfect, Aburame Tetsumaru was the winner of today's five battles. All his worries were happy worries, so he was able to leave everything behind and rest peacefully after a good meal.

It was impossible for the Kazekage on the other side to rest.

After dark, news from all the raiding forces began to converge on him, and he had to make a decision as quickly as possible because he was being attacked by Konoha ninjas.

Most of the raiding force successfully sneaked into the Kawa Country and annihilated two teams of Konoha ninjas without letting the Konoha ninjas pass on the news.

However, there was a problem with a large group and the troops led by the Kazekage himself, especially since the Kazekage Guards failed to find the Konoha ninja who launched the attack, the news must not be hidden.

Tomorrow, or tonight, Konoha Village or Orochimaru Legion will dispatch reinforcements. The suddenness based on the raid plan has been lost, but there is still a little gap time for the execution of the risk. Should we continue to move forward or retreat immediately? withdraw?

Twenty-four Jonin, members of Kazekage's guard, and thousands of Sunagakure ninjas were all waiting for Kazekage's decision. But the fate of Sunagakure Village and the lives of thousands of Sunagakure ninjas depended on the Kazekage's thoughts. How could the Third Kazekage make a decision quickly?

In the end, Feng Ying drove everyone away and asked them to go back to rest and wait. He stayed alone in the tent to think hard and weigh repeatedly.

"When I was young, I always felt that the second generation was not decisive and had insufficient wisdom. Now I understand that the second generation is not only wise and farsighted, but the wise and decisiveness that I despise is not comparable to mine."

After a night of nothing, Feng Ying made a decision and continued eastward.

The next day, Orochimaru's order came back. He asked Aburame Tetsumaru to resist resolutely for more than five days, and reported the information that Konoha Village was mobilizing.

"Five days, then we have to fight another tough battle."

After thinking over and over again, Aburame Tetsumaru decided to fight another tough battle. The reason for this decision was based on the results of yesterday's battle and the movements of the Sand Ninja Legion this morning.

He won yesterday's small-scale battle in the south, but half of the sand ninjas escaped. The results proved that his pre-battle guesses were very wrong. Even with the addition of Dao Mantis as the backbone, Bomb Locust as long-range firepower, and Bugs The group was unable to deal with the massive ninja force without his immediate command.

But this morning, Sunagakure continued to move eastward, and dispersed a dozen squadrons of dozens of people, as well as a ninja brigade of two to three hundred people, to conduct reconnaissance and exploration. These brigade allowed the control range of the Sunagakure Army to exceed fifty kilometers, and soon It's about to hit my face.

The defensive strategy he chose was to conduct mobile warfare and guerrilla warfare on a vast battlefield, but the instructor wrote very clearly in the book that there are three prerequisites for the implementation of guerrilla warfare: intelligence superiority, survival space, and tactical deterrence.

The intelligence advantage lies in Tetsumaru's hands, and the living space is abundant. However, yesterday he did not have a head-on battle with the strongest Kazekage, nor was he able to annihilate a sand ninja brigade, which means that his deterrent power cannot contain the sand ninja's actions. .

Without sufficient deterrence, Sunagakure will execute the plan without any scruples, and dare to disperse into small and mobile units, spreading out like a large net to encircle and suppress them. Their own living space will inevitably be severely compressed, and guerrilla tactics will not be carried out.

At that time, Boss Peng tried to annihilate the Okazaki Brigade at all costs, just to deter Xiaoli from invading the base area as a unit and to gain living space for the base area behind enemy lines.

In the same way, Aburame Tetsumaru must prove to Sunagakure that he has the combat power to annihilate 300 ninja troops in one fell swoop, forcing them to only operate with a scale of more than 400 people.

In this way, the Sunagakure troops on the battlefield can be divided into three or four troops at most, and the control range can be reduced to twenty kilometers, so that their own living space will not be affected.

Today's battle plan is to annihilate a ninja group of sand ninjas, or more, to make up for the missing deterrent link.

Gathering the team members together, Aburame Tetsumaru talked about his thoughts and decisions.

The three children became excited after hearing this. They had practiced the giant insect assault tactic with the captain for half a month. They had great confidence in this tactic and wanted to rush forward and fight immediately.

Aburame Tetsumaru smiled, let's have a big fight.

The meaning of a big fight is not to rush forward and fight hard. After all, Tiewan's hard power is really invincible. Otherwise, if he uses Mao's guerrilla tactics, he will definitely go up and encircle and annihilate him.

Relying on Aburame Tetsumaru's sensory abilities, Team 121 sneaked around and bypassed the relocation reconnaissance brigade, patiently observing the movements of Sunagakure's army.

Sunagakure chose to continue the attack. One thousand two hundred ninjas formed a formation, with four hundred-man brigades as the backbone, sixteen thirty-man squadrons as the net, and at the end there was a large force of more than three hundred people, because of the scope of control Huge, the entire legion moves forward very quickly.

This is a plan to attack forward. If Aburame Tetsumaru doesn't try to block it, the Sand Ninja can quickly pass through the Kingdom of Kawa within two days and directly enter the hinterland of the Kingdom of Fire.

If Aburame Tetsumaru tries to stop him, the squadrons that spread out will quickly surround him like a fishing net, and then encircle and destroy the enemy.

Nara Yoshino received the information relayed by Aburame Tetsumaru, thought for a moment, and said: "Commander Sunagakure is convinced that the Konoha ninjas here are not strong enough, so he chose this formation that combines maneuverability and attack."

"The teacher's decision is right. We must give them a hard blow today to slow them down."

"Our numbers are too small and we cannot stop so many sand ninjas from breaking through."

Aburame Tetsumaru raised his thumb to show that this kid had a good mind, then raised his index finger and shook it to stop Nara from continuing.

Inuzukao nodded frequently and pretended to understand, but in fact he must not understand either. He knew that he would have to fight a tough battle next.

"Let's hit it hard, I can't wait!"

As long as you can play happily, you can say whatever you want, I don't care, I don't understand anyway.

Uchiha Hiro understood half of it, but he didn't know why Tetsumaru Aburame stopped Nara Yoshino from continuing, but he was also enthusiastic now and didn't care about it.
