Daqin: I, Fusu, can summon the undead

Chapter 230 Shadow Clone Test 2
"Coordinates, five hundred to six hundred ahead!"

As the detonating talisman exploded, four hundred meters behind the trench, the artillery undead quickly adjusted the angle of the mortars on the five 60 mortar positions. A full one hundred mortars were aimed at the location of Shikaku and the other shadow clones.

"Three rapid shots, fire!"

As the commanding death warrior gave the order, the prepared undead immediately placed a mortar shell into the mortar.

With a series of bangs, mortar shells flew rapidly into the sky.

"Extend a hundred meters, three rapid shots, fire!"

As soon as the first round of rapid fire was completed, the commanding death warriors gave another order. The undead artillerymen quickly fine-tuned the mortars, and another round of mortar shells flew into the sky.

~~~
In the forest, watching the surrounding trees being hit and wood chips flying everywhere, the shadow clones were directly suppressed behind the trees and could not show their heads. Even he, a senior ninja, could not see the attacking objects clearly. Shikaku thought with a serious expression. The enemy's weapons were sharper than expected.

Being suppressed like this made him feel uneasy. Being suppressed by such a fierce attack and unable to show his head was not a good thing. The enemy might also take advantage of their suppression to make a move!

"Shikaku, if we continue like this, we might be surrounded! Should we retreat?"

Akimichi Choza's shadow clone said solemnly that although he was reckless, he had participated in the Ninja World War and knew some tactics.

"Send the order, retreat immediately!"

As soon as Ding Zuo finished speaking, Shikaku said without hesitation.

"retreat!"

Upon hearing this, Ding Zuo immediately conveyed the order loudly.

After receiving the order, some ninjas who could use the earth escape technique used the earth wall technique to create earth wall obstacles between the trees to block the bullets, and then began to retreat to the rear in an orderly manner.

However, just as the ninja clones began to retreat, mortar shells began to fall vertically from the sky.

In an instant, there were continuous explosions, the soil was blown into the air, and the shadow clones that had just begun to retreat were constantly defeated by the explosions and shrapnel.

"not good!"

Shikaku cried out in surprise as the mortar shells exploded. The shadow clones with Choza and Haiyi sped up their retreat.

However, the enemy seemed to know their position, and as they retreated, the explosions also extended to their retreating positions and continued to bombard them. For a while, the retreating shadow clones continued to disintegrate into puffs of white smoke, leaving a large number of kunai and unignited detonating tags on the ground.

In the trenches, without the ninjas throwing explosive kunai, the undead in the trenches were no longer under pressure, and the sound of gunfire began to become sparse.

The undead who failed to retreat in front of the trenches and the undead in the trenches began to crawl forward carefully and conduct reconnaissance in the smoke and dust left by the explosion.
-
On the other side, Shikaku's Shadow Clone No. 1 also led more than 500 shadow clones two kilometers deep into the Death Forest and finally encountered the undead's position.

"There really is defense here!"

Lying in the grass, Shikaku's shadow clone No. 1 was looking at the many undead in front of him who were cutting down trees, clearing obstacles, and building barbed wire, as well as the invisible trenches that were winding to both sides. He felt quite headache and worried.

There are at least two thousand skeleton soldiers here, and the information just sent from Shadow Clone No. 2 said that they encountered a position guarded by more than three thousand skeletons.

The explosion just now also showed that the battle over there had already begun, and the skeletons here had no intention of going over to support.

All this shows that the number of enemies is far more than 5,000, and it is very likely to exceed 10,000, or even more. Otherwise, how could the enemy concentrate its forces in two or three places in such a large and complex place like the Death Forest?

"Shikaku, there's news from No. 2 that their frontal attack failed and they suffered heavy losses. The enemy's weapons are much more powerful than expected, and they can strike them from a long distance from the sky. They have retreated to the designated location!"

Just as Shikaku's clone No. 1 was analyzing the undead forces, the hidden clone No. 1 Haiyi next to him suddenly spoke to Shikaku.

"I know, start sneaking in!"

Shikaku said solemnly, and made a series of gestures behind him. The ninja shadow clones hiding behind Shikaku conveyed the order with gestures.

The ninja shadow clones with excess chakra and capable of earth escape ninjutsu began to sneak in, while the remaining ninja shadow clones transformed into various reptiles or used stealth techniques and began to move towards the trenches of the undead ahead.

At the same time, these shadow clones are ready to detonate kunai. Once the stealth fails, they will launch a fierce attack, forcibly break through the enemy's defense, and sneak deeper into the Death Forest to collect intelligence.

Because in front of the trench, there is also an open area of ​​more than 50 meters. In this open area, there are not only a large number of undead building defensive measures, but also layers of barbed wire, making it very difficult not to be discovered.

"Roar!"

As soon as the shadow clones sneaked into the open area, a roar of the undead was heard, and then as if contagious, many undead began to roar.

Then, the undead who were still building defenses in the open area took off the rifles on their backs and shot directly at the ninja shadow clones that had transformed into reptiles and were sneaking around.

Gunshots rang out, and the ninja shadow clones that had turned into reptiles or even grass balls were dispersed into clouds of smoke before they could react.

The undead in the trenches also began to shoot, and suddenly more bullets were fired towards the bushes and treetops in the woods, causing leaves and grass to fly and fall.

"It's careless!"

When the undead roared, Shikaku's clone, who was hiding behind a tree with Haiyi and Dingzuo's clone, said with a headache.

As soon as the undead roared, Lu Jiu realized that he had overlooked an important situation. That is, he had not found any living creatures along the way, not only animals, but also snakes, insects, rats and ants.

Although the reptilian transformation is inconspicuous, it is undoubtedly exposed in this case.

Just because of one carelessness, they not only lost more than fifty shadow clones, but were now directly hit by the long-range attacks of those skeletons and could not even show their heads.

Shikaku's clone risked his head to look outside for a second, his expression becoming even more serious.

Although it was just a quick glance, less than a second, he still got a general idea with his photographic memory.

At this time, fires were flickering in the higher parts of the enemy's trenches.

Behind the trenches there were some trees that had been deliberately left behind, with firing points built on them, from which flames were constantly spewing out.

This formed cross fire from top to bottom and from left to right, directly covering most of the forest, making it difficult for the ninja shadow clones to take care of attacks from all directions.

"Retreat quickly! Use the land to cover your retreat!"

After taking a look, Shikaku immediately gave the order to retreat.

He remembered what happened to Shadow Clone No. 2. After suppressing Shadow Clone No. 2, the enemy attacked them from the sky in less than 2 seconds. That was the biggest reason why Shadow Clone No. suffered heavy losses.

As Shikamaru's order was given, all the shadow clones used defensive ninjutsu to hold the front, then quickly ran out from behind the cover and retreated to the designated position in the rear.

Although they were all shadow clones and did not care about death, they did not want to disappear easily because they were beaten and retreated after just one encounter. They did not find out much information and had not completed the mission.

"Boom boom boom~"

Almost within fifteen seconds of the retreat order being given, mortar shells began to land.

“The situation is worse than we thought!”

Retreating from the explosion, Shikaku's shadow clone's expression became even more serious.
