Outside Platycodon City.
Konoha's vanguard troops are approaching the city.
Strong wind, yellow sand, barren land, strong wind blows these dry yellow sand into the air, hitting those thick and tall walls.
Outside the city, the Konoha troops are gathering with ninjas. There are elite jounin from the mountain clan, who use the technique of telekinesis to continuously pass on orders and information.
At the top of Platycodon Castle, large ninja tools were ready to go. All the sand ninjas at the top of the city subconsciously clenched their kunai.
If it were a normal ninja war, the two sides would fight directly face to face on a plain, until one side was annihilated or surrendered.
But after going deep into the Kingdom of Wind, the form of war changed.
Sunagakure took advantage of the characteristics of the sandstorms in the Land of Wind to build a series of tall defensive cities with various large-scale ninja tools and puppets arranged on them, and then stood down to resist them.
Each one is like a small sand hidden village.
This is why Konoha's advancement is so difficult.
A high-pitched eagle chirped suddenly, and Orochimaru and Tsunade appeared in front of everyone.
Orochimaru was wearing a dark green vest, and the strong wind was blowing his long black hair. His somewhat gloomy temperament in the past was actually inexplicably reassuring at this time.
Tsunade even raised her hands to her chest, and her golden ponytail, roughly tied only with a thin string, fluttered freely in the wind, looking very heroic.
With the appearance of the two commanders, the momentum of the Konoha ninjas suddenly increased!
Today's attack on Platycodon City, Konoha showed a completely different style from the previous fighting methods.
In other words, it is closer to Sunagakure's fighting style.
On the left and right wings, three hundred ninjas were deployed on each side to charge. At the same time, a large-scale ninja tool that had never appeared in Konoha before surfaced in the form of a large-scale catapult!
As early as a few months ago, Orochimaru had set up fifty catapults at Chen's suggestion.
This kind of catapult requires twenty ninjas with outstanding strength to pull it. A huge stone weighs hundreds of kilograms.
But at this time, there was only one huge ninja standing behind each one. On their clothes, there was a bright red word "food".
He is a ninja from the Akimichi clan!
The fifty-seater catapult was not only equipped with ninjas from the Akimichi clan as handlers, but also ninjas who were proficient in the earth-bending ninjutsu, making huge boulders on the side, and there were also fire-bending ninjas who were constantly adding fuel to it.
At this time, all the Konoha ninjas who were standing still could not help but raise their heads, quietly waiting for the spectacular sight. Countless boulders would be thrown high into the sky together, and then hit the wall of Platycodon City hard, or fall inside the city.
I don't know who was the first to shout "Konoha must win". The Konoha ninjas near the catapult all yelled these four words with all their strength.
Soon, the first several hundred kilograms of flint, specially wrapped in fuel and ignited by the fire escape, flew high into the sky and was thrown towards Platycodon City.
Immediately afterwards, dozens of boulders followed the flint and hit Platycodon City. From a distance, they looked like burning meteorites.
All Konoha ninjas were shocked by this unfamiliar attack method.
It is not that there are no large ninja tools in Konoha, but this is the first time that everyone has seen such an unrestrained attack method.
Orochimaru smiled softly, if it hadn't been for Chen's suggestion before, it might have been a long time before this kind of thing came out.
Huge boulders fell on the city head, fell into the city, or were blocked by the city wall and rolled into the moat.
Inside and outside the city, the sound of wind and thunder filled our ears.
Everyone seemed to feel the tremors of the earth, and Platycodon City seemed to be whimpering silently.
And the six hundred Konoha ninjas who had preceded the stone throwers had been advancing continuously, trying to suppress the sniping attacks by the giant ninja tools at the top of the city.
As a Jonin in the village, Kato Dan knew about the existence of fifty catapults, and he also knew the power of catapults earlier than ordinary ninjas.
Originally, in his opinion, there was no need for the cover of six hundred ninjas. The sand ninjas in Platycodon Castle would be so frightened that they could not raise their heads under the intensive bombardment of dozens of boulders, allowing the Konoha ninjas to advance all the way into Platycodon Castle. .
However, during the charge, casualties continued to appear in front of and behind him. Giant kunai ninja tools were fired from the top of the city, and there were bursts of powerful shots. Among them, several ninjas were directly killed by the same huge kunai that was more than two meters long. Through!
The two corpses just hung on the kunai, nailed to the ground on the spot.
Everyone has seen Sunagakure puppets and ninja tools before, but when the boulder exploded, under the command of Chiyo in Kikyo Castle, the attack was still orderly, which made Kato Dan sigh with emotion.
This is destined to be a deadly battle!
Glancing at the familiar figure in the distance, the chakra in Kato Dan's hand lit up again.
When the battle at Kikyo Mountain is over, he will express his feelings to Tsunade no matter what!
With this thought in mind, he rushed over to the crowd.
Not only Kato Dan, but too many Konoha ninjas were fighting for various reasons.
But in the same way, ninjas continued to die, and some were even unlucky. They were shot directly in the chest by a ninja tool, and were carried backwards by the huge inertial momentum for more than ten steps, causing even their companions behind to fall. land.
Moreover, when the Konoha frontline became uneven, the ninjas at the forefront began to be deliberately targeted at the top of the city.
But the Konoha ninja ignored the corpses and injuries at their feet and continued to charge forward.
Akimichi Dingza roared angrily, and the fifty catapults began to move forward, preparing for the next round of stone throwing, not to destroy the city head, but to try to block Sunagakure's effective strength.
Orochimaru heard the message from Yamanaka Haiichi, and his ears were full of cold numbers, how many died and how many were injured.
In just an hour, hundreds of ninjas died.
Orochimaru sighed softly. He raised his eyes and looked into the distance. The Konoha ninja finally began to approach the farthest distance for releasing ninjutsu.
At such a distance, the Suna Ninja also gave up using large ninja tools and turned into small kunai and various mixed ninjutsu.
There were even sand ninjas constantly coming down on the city wall to attack Konoha ninjas.
The Konoha ninjas also cooperated with the ninjutsu and continued to advance. There were also many earth escape ninjas who tried to sneak underground, get close to Platycodon City, and use detonating talismans to blow up the city wall.
Orochimaru formed a seal with his hands.
Psychic art!
A burst of white smoke rose, and two huge psychic beasts appeared here.
It's Orochimaru's Ten Thousand Snakes, and another weird three-headed snake.
Even earlier, Tsunade had unlocked the Yin seal and continuously supplied chakra to the slug.
Under Orochimaru's order, the two snakes wrapped around their bodies and climbed toward Kikyō Castle.
Soon, the two giant snakes exerted their muscles and began to tighten their bodies... A heart-wrenching sound was heard, and then with a "bang", the wall on one side of Platycodon City was shattered into rubble.
…
…
(Both Konoha and Sunagakure have weird large-scale ninja tools, which appeared in the movie version of Beiruhu, so the catapult is really not too much.)
