Daqin: I, Fusu, can summon the undead

Chapter 242 Ninja Retreat
Thousands of exploding kunai were thrown out by the Root ninjas with all their might.

In the strong wind of the wind breakthrough, these explosive kunai flew over 300 meters and landed on the undead's defensive position.

There were continuous explosions in an instant.

"Enemy attack!"

"Shoot that way!"

On the undead defense line, amid the continuous explosions, under the command of the black death skeletons, the undead aimed at the direction where the explosive kunai was flying and pulled the trigger. For a while, bullets kept flying into the forest, and the trees were hit into flying wood chips. The high-powered machine guns could even easily break some trees as thick as bowls.

In the dense stream of bullets, the Root Ninjas, led by Danzo, stopped throwing kunai and using wind escape techniques, and crawled on the ground like lizards, quickly moving eastwards.

Everyone tried to lower their bodies as much as possible, for fear of being hit by stray bullets.

They had seen injured people before. They were hit in the torso by stray bullets. The front was only a blood hole the size of a finger, but the back was a hole the size of a fist. If hit, they basically had no ability to move and could only wait to die.

But soon, black dots began to fall from the sky.

The black dot landed on the ground and exploded instantly. Although the explosion was not as visually impressive as the detonating talisman, its power was far greater than that of the detonating talisman, and the killing power of the fragments made everyone's scalp tingle.

After throwing a sneak attack, Danzo looked at the place where he was originally, and couldn't help sweating. If he had thrown another wave of detonating kunai just now, he would have been covered by the explosion.

'How to break through!'

At this moment, Danzo's mind was racing, looking for a way to break through the enemy's defenses.

But unfortunately, the defense of the undead is very comprehensive, and even Shikaku, the most intelligent person in Konoha, didn't figure it out, otherwise he would have used it at the first line of defense.

“Tuk-tuk-tuk~”

Just as Danzo was anxiously trying to find a solution, the sound of a helicopter flying quickly was heard in the sky.

Hearing the sound, Danzo immediately made a hand signal, and all the Root Ninjas immediately used transformation techniques to turn into some dirt and branches and lay on the ground, not daring to move at all.

Looking at the dozen or so helicopters flying in the sky, Danzo became even more anxious.

After the enemy's air support, it would be even more difficult for Shikaku and his men to hold on. Without Shikaku and his men to attract the enemy's reinforcements and attention, the enemy would do their best to chase and intercept them, and they didn't have much time left.

"We must find a way to break through this line of defense as soon as possible!"
-
On the first line of defense of the undead, Lu Jiu was sitting in a temporary underground command post, writing down the summarized combat intelligence and suicide note.

Although they successfully blocked the enemy's most threatening air attack and held the defense line, the price of holding on was that ninjas were injured and died almost every second.

And the enemy's more fierce attack would surely come soon. Now they could only buy Danzo and the Root another half an hour at most. After half an hour, they would have to retreat.

Five helicopters quickly flew over in the sky.

At an altitude of three thousand meters, after confirming the accuracy of the defense built with earthen walls on the ground, the undead on the helicopter began to drop 55-kilogram special bombs from the sky.

This special bullet uses a solid warhead made of all-steel. After being dropped from a high altitude, the inclined tail fins will control the warhead to rotate and move vertically downward. The wind pressure from the fall will turn on the ignition switch, and the high-energy fuel at the tail will spray out a large amount of flames, accelerating the warhead's falling speed to 1500 meters per second in a short period of time. It can easily penetrate mm thick armor, or meters thick mudstone, and then explode, releasing a large amount of deadly heavy gas.

This gas is much heavier than air and will flow along the ground into all caves.

"Puff~"

As the special bombs fell, the mud boards covering the earthen city walls were directly pierced through. Special bombs fell to the ground and exploded. Each explosion could produce hundreds of cubic meters of gray-white gas.

These gases flowed from the ground like fairy air made of carbon dioxide, and quickly penetrated into the caves on the ground.

"Cough cough cough~!"

The ninjas guarding the outer perimeter of the cave smelled the gas and immediately began to cough. They wanted to sound the alarm, but after only a few seconds of inhaling the gas, they fell to the ground, trembling and twitching, and died. "Lord Shikaku, it's bad. The enemy dropped something from the sky that exploded and released a large amount of poisonous gas. The people guarding the upper entrance died within a few seconds of inhaling it."

In the underground command center, a ninja reported anxiously.

"I understand. Get the ninjas out of the underground bunker immediately!"

Upon hearing this, Shikaku simply gave the order calmly, then wrote this item down on the intelligence before handing it to the ninja next to him.

The ninja next to him took the information and immediately used summoning magic to summon a ninja dog. After giving the information to the ninja dog, he canceled the summoning magic.

"Alas!" Lu Jiu sighed as he watched the summoned beast being sent away.

He didn't know how many people would be alive after this battle, but he had a feeling that he might not be able to return alive this time.
-
In the battle zone, the Konoha ninjas kept firing explosive kunai in the trenches, braving the shells falling from the sky and bullets flying over their heads.

If you encounter an undead ghost approaching you, use ninjutsu to quickly resolve it.

"How's the battle going?"

In the first line of defense of the Undead, looking at the line filled with explosions, Nightmare Aka asked a death warrior next to him.

"Sir, the enemy's defense is very tenacious and desperate, and we can't break through it yet!"

Hearing this, the Death Skeleton being questioned immediately replied.

Of course, this inability to break through is only based on the premise of minimizing losses. If we really talk about tenacity and recklessness, how many races can compare to the undead? It's just that they don't want to suffer too many losses.

"Stop the attack and let the artillery fire fully cover the edge for five minutes!"

Upon hearing this, Nightmare Knight Aka simply said indifferently.

"Yes!"

Upon receiving the order, the Death Skeleton responded immediately and quickly passed the order on.

Following the order from Nightmare Knight, the bombardment on the edge of the ninja defense line doubled, bombarding the ninjas so hard that they couldn't even raise their heads.

As the artillery fire covered the trench, in the trench, Nightmare Knight Aka immediately led his 300 elite death warriors to the edge.

"rush!"

When the artillery fire stopped, Aka immediately ordered the skeletons to charge.

~~~
"Lord Shikaku, the edge of the defense line has been lost, the enemy has already attacked, and now it is a melee. Please give me your instructions~!"

In the underground command center, a ninja with blood all over his face reported to Shikaku.

"Pass the order, everyone retreat! Whoever can return alive depends entirely on their own ability!" Hearing this, Lu Jiu sighed and issued the final order.

With heavy casualties and huge consumption, it is no longer realistic for them to retreat collectively. The enemy's long-range attacks will chase them. It is better to disperse the troops. Even if the remaining ninjas are pigs, it will take the enemy several hours to capture them.

This was his last strategy to delay the enemy's forces, and it was also everyone's last chance of survival. Whether or not they could survive depended on their skills and luck.

Although the physical combat power of those ordinary skeletons is only at the level of ordinary people, the physical combat power of those black skeletons is comparable to that of Chunin.

The weapons in their hands are so powerful that even a senior ninja could be killed, and even a Kage-level ninja could be fatally dangerous.
