The generals replied, "We just sent him off. I wonder why you asked about this matter! By the way, the court has also appointed you as the general who pacifies the bandits."
Despite this, General Zuo Menggeng, who had suppressed the bandits, was still not very happy, because he saw that his father did not have a big smile on his face, so he asked, "Father, are you worried about something? Why are you not happy for your child?"
With a worried look on his face, he pointed at his son, General Mingping, and said, "Geng'er can't hide anything from his eyes! That's right, your father has some troubles that he can't solve." Then Mingning Nanbo pulled General Mingping into the tent for a detailed discussion.
At the same time, on the side of the Ming army in the south, the rebel general Liu Chao quickly gathered troops and led 10 troops to join forces with 2 bandits. Together they sent troops to block the Ming army's road to the north near the Shangsizhuang Patrol Wharf in Xintai County, Jinan Prefecture, Shandong Province.
Unfortunately, the Minister of War of Southern Zhili of the Ming Dynasty underestimated the enemy and thought that he had already repelled the invading local bandits before, and ignored the generals who gathered the main forces. After all, the mission of the Ming army was to go north to defend the king, not to strangle the local bandits. Therefore, the Minister of War of Southern Zhili of the Ming Dynasty did not expect that the bandits would take the initiative to block his way.
At this moment, a coalition of 5 bandits and rebels were stationed across the river, near the dock on the way the Ming army was heading north. Three hundred meters away from the dock, they had set up two Shenji cannons, eight Hudun cannons, and six Wankou cannons, as well as two rows of musketeers and three rows of archers.
On the main official road from Shangsizhuang Patrol Station to Xintai County is the 7 main force led by the rebel general Liu Chao and two bandit chiefs, following the rear of the Ming army troops. In order to successfully drive this Ming army into the ambush circle and defeat it, the rebel general Liu Chao decided to use a feint to the east and attack in the west?
That is to say, let the two bandit leaders take the lead to attract the Ming army, and then the rebel general Liu Chao will send out the main force to attack their vital points. After all, most of the Ming army will definitely go to the bandits first, so the main general will definitely be exposed.
Although this method is feasible, the two bandit chiefs looked at each other and felt that this move was very risky. If the main force could not be covered, the troops would be wiped out by the Ming army. Secondly, if it failed, or the rebels did not come to rescue in time, the whole army would be annihilated. Therefore, the two bandit chiefs hesitated!
Of course, the rebel general Liu
Chao also knew this, so he offered a bargaining chip. If this move could reduce the prestige of the Ming army, he was willing to cede Jining Prefecture, Juye County and other areas south of Yanggu County of Yanzhou Prefecture to Dashun.
After hearing this bargaining chip, the two bandit leaders were reluctantly tempted. However, they still went to ask the commander of the Dongping Brigade of Dashun, Huang Qichao, to see what his opinion was.
Being adventurous, he nodded in agreement without hesitation. The two sides immediately hit it off and began to divide their forces. The bandit Dongping led his soldiers to the west to prepare for war, while the rebel general Liu Chao continued to advance behind.
The two armies maintained a distance of 400 steps between them. After about a cup of tea, the bandit army in the west began to attack.
The Dongping Brigade of the Dashun Army unexpectedly launched a barrage of fire at the Ming soldiers with archers and musketeers in the front. Before the Ming army could react, he ordered the Shun army behind him to throw wind and fire thunder bombs and thunder bombs, which caused billowing smoke all around.
The Ming soldiers who were blinded were in a panic! The Fujian General and Ningbo Guard Commander actually gathered their soldiers together to fight back against the bandits. Fortunately, the Minister of War of Nanzhili made the right move in time. He sent a team of Taizhou Prefecture Ming soldiers to attack the bandits' formation. The two armies fired at each other in front of the formation.
Then the Ming Fujian Xingdu Commander ordered the Fujian infantry and cavalry to encircle the enemy from both sides to cut off the long-range attack of the bandits. This move frightened the Dashun Dingtao and Dashun Pei chiefs so much that they fell to the ground on the spot, and the commander shouted to the Dashun soldiers, "Quick, stop them!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Fujian cavalry rushed over and slashed the Shun soldiers who were shooting. Some Shun soldiers who were holding arrowheads and armed had their necks cut and died. In an instant, the Dashun Dongping Brigade felt that the battle was in danger! He pulled the soldier next to him and ordered, "Send a signal flare to notify Brother Liu and the others."
The Shun army soldiers hurriedly ran to the bushes behind and fired a flare into the sky. After seeing the signal, the generals around the rebel Liu Chao persuaded them, "It seems that the bandits can't hold on! Marshal, should we support them?"
The rebel general Liu Chao smiled and immediately ordered, "The whole army begins to attack."
Soon, the Ming army was bombarded by ten two-general cannons behind them, and (boom) bursts of smoke and mud appeared. Tens of thousands of soldiers wearing blue cloth armor appeared? However, they did not wear big hats or helmets on their heads, but wrapped their heads with a piece of cloth. Some enemies also wore (felt hats) on their heads.
The enemy seemed to be the same type as before, so the general of the Ming army sent out the fire gun team to shoot, and the Ming Nanzhili military minister also sent the troops of the Central Army to resist, so that the rebel soldiers who were originally charging were suppressed! But at this time, a group of rebel soldiers wearing felt hats suddenly came out from the east.
In the chaos, Wu Junzhen could vaguely see the enemy army with flags carrying the word "Liu" in front of them charging towards him. He hurriedly worked with Liu Ruilin and other generals to protect the Minister of War of Nanzhili to prevent him from falling into the hands of the enemy!
This group of rebels was quite ruthless. They rode on horses and held maces in their hands, charging towards their commander (the flag of the commander of the three armies). The Ming soldiers could not withstand their charge at all, and no less than a thousand Ming soldiers were stabbed to death or trampled to death under their horses!
Chapter 44: Wave Country Mission
The stronger the wind, the bigger the fire.
Therefore, Fire Style restrains Wind Style.
But this is not an absolute truth, it is just a law under the laws of nature. As long as you find the counter-restraint law, wind escape can also restrain fire escape.
The ninjas of the Sand Village are generally good at wind-style ninjutsu. In order to prevent the village ninjas from being restrained in battle, the second generation Kazekage specially developed a series of ninjutsu that cannot be restrained by fire-style ninjutsu, and can even restrain fire-style ninjutsu instead.
The Wind Killing Formation is one of them.
It is not the conventional way of using chakra to create wind, but rather using an iron fan to create wind, injecting chakra into the wind to make it violent, causing the airflow to be chaotic and cut at high speed, forming a continuous vacuum flow area.
Without air, fire cannot burn - the nemesis of all fire escape techniques.
The members of the diplomatic envoys who went to Konoha this time...except for the twenty or so Genin who were doing odd jobs, everyone else was an elite.
Although these two guard captains were not elite jonin, they were also powerful jonin, otherwise they would not have been able to shoulder the task of escorting the delegation. They were masters of wind escape that could counter fire escape.
The fifty Konoha ninjas who rushed up were wrapped in the vacuum flow belt, and hundreds of sharp blades cut up and down, tearing shocking wounds on the enemies' bodies.
However, in a vacuum, sound cannot travel.
People outside can only see the people inside screaming and howling in agony, but they cannot hear any sound coming from inside. This silent and tragic hell makes people terrified and filled with fear.
"Attack the caster!"
There is a vacuum turbulence zone in front of us and we can't get in.
If you use ninjutsu to break the enemy's ninjutsu, the companions caught in the middle will suffer, so the only way is for people to cross the middle area to attack the caster behind to stop the ninjutsu.
Uchiha Fugaku was experienced in combat. As he gave the order, he jumped up and prepared to use the Great Fireball Technique on the two Jonin captains from the air.
The others followed suit and started attacking the Sand Village people behind them.
But fighting is not a game, especially a large-scale battle.
This is no longer a battle, it's a war.
Although there were only about 40 people on one side, the destructive power of the ninja turned this large-scale group fight into a war.
When the two captains launched the attack, Ryuji thought of the enemy's subsequent response plan. He asked the Genin to aim the giant chain crossbows diagonally upwards, and when the enemy jumped up, they all pulled the trigger.
Boom boom boom!!!
shhhhhh! ! !
The sound of bowstrings and the sound of arrows piercing the air were like death warrants, making the Konoha ninjas panic.
As soon as the Konoha ninja jumped up, he was met with a hail of arrows.
It was too late to form a seal. But people had nowhere to gain leverage in the air, and no shelter, so they could only become targets, being swallowed up mercilessly by the rain of arrows. Only a few masters used the kunai in their hands to block the sharp arrows shot at them.
But with such a dense number of people, even the most powerful masters could only protect their vital parts if they did not have time to use ninjutsu.
The surviving guard team masters, including Uchiha Fugaku, all fell down injured.
The vacuum turbulence belt also dissipated at this moment, leaving behind a number of horrific corpses on the messy lawn.
(The situation turned out to be one-sided.)
Uchiha Fugaku covered his injured shoulder and looked at the Sand Village people standing in front of the gate with cold sweat on his forehead.
Behind him, there was a hint of fear in the eyes of the surviving Konoha ninjas.
They are not afraid of death, but they are afraid of dying meaninglessly.
If you are fighting with an enemy, it is nothing if you die because you are not as skilled as your opponent.
But the current situation is that we can’t even get close to the gate, let alone fight the enemy.
This was not a battle at all, but a one-sided massacre.
Ryuji came to the front from the back of the Genin line.
He roughly scanned the Konoha ninjas blocking the way ahead and estimated their number in his mind, with about a hundred left.
(Three waves of attacks took out more than 200 people.)
Ryuji nodded in satisfaction, but looked at Uchiha Fugaku with a look of regret, "Uchiha Fugaku, your Uchiha clan was once the most famous and powerful ninja clan in the ninja world, and you co-founded Konoha with the equally famous Senju clan, but you are treated as a watchdog. It's really sad."
"You don't have to stir up trouble. Konoha is a village that our ancestors built with their lives. We will naturally protect it with our lives."
"Yes, Uchiha Madara, one of the founders, was driven out of Konoha like a stray dog, and was eventually brutally murdered by another founder. This is truly a village built with lives!"
"Shut up!"
Uchiha Fugaku roared.
His eyes were wide open, his hair was flying in the wind, and a suffocating aura spread out.
The same is true for other Uchiha clan members.
Uchiha Madara is now the eternal pain in the hearts of the Uchiha clan.
This ancestor who brought the Uchiha clan to glory and also plunged the Uchiha clan into its current embarrassing situation... they both miss him and hate him.
Remembering his power and remembering the former glory of the Uchiha clan.
But at the same time, they hated him for making the Uchiha clan the target of suspicion by the other ninja clans and ninjas in Konoha.
If Uchiha Madara had not left Konoha at that time, but stayed in Konoha to build the village together with the first generation, then when he became the second generation Hokage, the Uchiha clan would definitely not be as embarrassed as it is now.
But no matter what choice Uchiha Madara made and what he brought to the Uchiha clan, he was always the great ancestor of the Uchiha clan. How could he allow the juniors from other villages to insult him with rumors?
Those who were not from the Uchiha clan were somewhat confused.
After the Third Hokage came to power, in order to eliminate the gap between the village ninjas and the Uchiha clan, the details of what happened that year were kept secret. As a result, the only thing we learned from the ninja school textbooks was that Uchiha Madara was one of the founders of Konoha, and the rest of the situation was completely unknown.
Hearing Long Er's words, they looked at each other in surprise.
They thought of the village's suspicion and dissension with the Uchiha clan, and couldn't help but imagine a conspiracy.
I secretly wondered: Could it be that our first Hokage was such a despicable and shameless villain?
"Shut up?" Ryuji looked at him with contempt and snorted, "What can you use to make me shut up? Just your Sharingan?"
Scholars can be killed but not humiliated.
Uchiha Fugaku clenched his teeth, and finally his anger broke through his rationality.
"kill!"
Looking at the young man who was leading the charge, Long Er's eyes became colder.
"kill!"
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!!
Puff puff puff puff! ! ! !
The roar of people's anger,
The whistling of arrows breaking through the air, the muffled sound of sharp weapons piercing into flesh, the noise of ninjutsu exploding... all these chaotic and disordered sounds intertwined together to form this picture of one-sided crushing.
……
ten minutes later.
It was quiet in front of the house.
On the empty lawn filled with smoke, corpses were lying all over the place and blood was flowing.
"Why is this happening?"
Uchiha Fugaku knelt on the ground, looking around blankly. The corpses and pools of blood made his brain hurt.
"Because you have no power!"
