Konoha Ninja Samurai

Chapter 169 Qing Ye
Facts have proved that as a means of transportation, trains not only greatly promote the development of commerce, but also play a role in war.The train full of 300 people arrived at the nearest city on the border of Frost and Snow Kingdom, Ice Lotus City amidst the rumble.

Such a fast speed also ensures that all the samurai will be able to exert their full combat effectiveness once they arrive, which makes Tokugawa Yukimura even more satisfied with the development of such a tool.

"However, if you are facing a more difficult enemy, you have to consider dispatching an elite team to sneak into the rear and destroy the railroad tracks." Tokugawa Yukimura thought in his mind.

But the issue to consider now is not this, but how to defeat the ninjas of the Frost Kingdom as soon as possible.Thinking of this, Tokugawa Yukimura also became more cautious, and drove into Ice Lotus City with a large force.

"Master Yukimura, you are here." Fukuyama, who was in charge of border guards before, greeted Tokugawa Yukimura respectfully.

"En." Tokugawa Yukimura responded, obviously dissatisfied with Fukuyama.Previously, Snow Flower City issued an order to strengthen vigilance, but as a result, strongholds were attacked and casualties occurred. This Fukuyama cannot shirk his responsibility.

But now is not the time to pursue responsibility, Tokugawa Yukimura glanced at him and said: "Your mistakes will be settled in the future, and now report the latest battle situation on the front line."

"Yes, Mr. Yukimura." Fukuyama wiped the sweat from his brow and said, "Since the attack happened, we have actively detected the other party's information. But the other party is obviously a cunning ninja, so the information we obtained is also very limited."

Fukuyama took a careful look at Tokugawa Yukimura during the report, and found that he was still expressionless, so he continued more cautiously: "Now the enemy has been divided into more than a dozen teams, each with five to ten people. The ghosts and ghosts are attacking our border villages everywhere, and every time they hit and retreat, we basically catch them by the tail."

Tokugawa Yukimura, who was listening to the information with his eyes closed, moved now. He opened his eyes and asked, "How did you deal with their attack?"

"This?" Fukuyama's face was a little ugly, "Originally, we had only three or four people stationed in each village, and the enemy's team had no resistance at all. So I ordered them to shrink their defenses, and the guards of the villages all went to the towns. Gather, now we have 30 people in each town, and have repelled their attacks on the town several times."

"Didn't you completely abandon the villagers in the village?" Hearing Fushan's answer, Pingqing Jikang became angry. "As a border guard, you can't even protect the villagers. You are dereliction of duty!"

"Okay, Jikang." Since Hirakiyo Jikang came out to sing the bad face, Tokugawa Yukimura can only be responsible for singing the bad face, "Captain Fukuyama also had to make such a bad move because of the lack of manpower. I believe he is not the kind of bad guy." A person who will consider the safety of the villagers."

Captain Fukuyama showed a tearful expression of gratitude, but Hiraki Jikang was still angry and snorted coldly.

"Okay, now is not the time for conflicts, now is the time to think about how to come up with appropriate countermeasures." Tokugawa Yukimura said breaking the somewhat stiff atmosphere.

Obviously, the strategy of Frost Ninja Village is guerrilla warfare. They understand that there is a huge gap between their own troops and Snow Flower City, so they want to use this method to contain their own troops, and even achieve the goal of nibbling away and eliminating the warriors of Snow Country.

"Obviously, we have two choices now." Tokugawa Yukimura drew everyone's attention, and said in a deep voice, "One is to catch the traces of these slippery enemies and wipe them out, and the other is to ignore these small groups Enemy, gather superior forces and directly attack the base camp of the Kingdom of Frost!"

Although that is the case, everyone here knows that there are difficulties in both solutions.These small groups of enemies come and go like the wind, and how to catch them is also a headache. Unless a lot of manpower is invested in searching and screening, if you ignore them and directly send troops to the Frost Kingdom, then you must be prepared for a surprise attack from the rear.

"It would be great if the perception of the spirit technique could be more powerful." Tokugawa Yukimura sighed in his heart.After two years of successfully mastering the art of spiritualization, Tokugawa Yukimura has also figured out its advantages and disadvantages.

Uchiha Itachi said that all ninjutsu has its shortcomings, and the art of spiritual transformation is no exception, especially in this real world, which is very different from the description in the comics.

First of all, after being transformed into a spirit body, although physical attacks can be ignored, ninjutsu attacks can still damage the spirit body, especially the thunder escape ninjutsu.If he was possessed by a guy like Lei Ying who was covered in lightning, he might be annihilated in the ashes first.

Secondly, the spirit body is also condensed by spiritual energy, so the spirit body will also be perceived by the perception ninja.And these are minor shortcomings. What's more important is that after the spirit body leaves the physical body, one's physical body will be greatly burdened. Not only will the chakra consumption be huge, but after the spirit body leaves, the physical body will appear in a state of suspended animation. In such a state, Not to mention being attacked, after a long time, even if there is no accident, the body will die.

The current Tokugawa Yukimura can keep the spirit body away from the physical body for at most 3 minutes, and the perception distance is only hundreds of miles.A hundred miles may sound like a long way, but for a ninja's footsteps, it's only less than half an hour.Therefore, in terms of the classification of spiritualization techniques, it is the technique of perception and assassination, which is completely unsuitable for direct combat.

"Master Yukimura, we can't let these ninjas from Frost Ninja Village plunder. Once Ice Lotus City falls, they can drive straight in and directly threaten the safety of Snow Flower City." Fukuyama still has a more strategic vision, but in this way, Frost Ninja Village can rely on these teams to successfully drag the Snow Country into a tug of war. You must know that a lot of supplies are consumed every day in a state of war.

The different opinions below are noisy, and everyone has put forward their own views.After a long time, Tokugawa Yukimura made up his mind and said firmly: "I have decided to implement the strategy of strengthening the wall and clearing the wilderness, withdrawing all the villages and towns near the border to the defense line centered on Ice Lotus City, and destroying all the food that cannot be taken away. Cotton clothes, fuel and other supplies, I don't believe that those ninjas can fight guerrilla warfare in such bad weather by hunting!"

"Master Yukimura, isn't this too heavy a financial burden for our Snow Ninja Village? You must know that this involves the transfer of tens of thousands of people." Ken Kuramochi, who followed Tokugawa Yukimura, asked anxiously.

Tokugawa Yukimura smiled and said, "Isn't our Snow Flower City striving to develop to have sufficient strength to face the current situation? It's just a little money. As long as I think about it, I will earn it back soon!"
