Chapter 169 Strategic Arrangement
In the summer of Konoha 47, the Konoha army ready to go officially began to enter the territory of the Kingdom of Kawa.

Since the surrounding area of ​​Kikyo Castle has been cleared, it only takes a few hours for most ninjas to reach the country of Chuan from Aoba Castle, so the advance of the entire army can be completed within half a day.

The Xiu team was the first group to set off, and their destination was near a mountain about 30 kilometers away from Kikyo City. This was the frontline base Konoha chose after fully understanding the terrain.

He arrived here unimpeded along the way, and he found that the mountain was at the highest altitude within a radius of tens of kilometers.

In the middle of the hillside, there is a wide platform, which is very suitable for setting up camps. At the same time, it has a wide view and is easy to defend but difficult to attack. It is not a problem to accommodate at least a few thousand people.

"There is another base not far from here, on the plain a few kilometers away." Xiuyi pointed to the map and said to the two teammates, "In this way, the two strongholds, one high and one low, can see each other, and at the same time can see each other. Take care, let's check the surroundings again to make sure there are no enemies here."

It didn't take long for them to inspect the main stronghold and encountered more and more Konoha teams.

Only by the afternoon, the new base had been established.When the first batch of food and grass arrives from Aoba City, Konoha will start a battle with Sand Hidden on the Kawa no Country battlefield.

In the evening, in Konoha's command camp, yellowish candlelight was lit up in the large tent, and several figures could be faintly seen living in it.

After Xiuyi lifted the curtain, he found that all the masters of Hokage had gathered together, and he was the last one to arrive.

"Sorry for being late." Xiuyi greeted politely.

"Boy, you are in the limelight now." Zilai, who hadn't seen him for a few days, has now returned to the front camp, "I heard about your mission before, and you did a good job!"

"Haha, you're over the top. If Minato-senpai hadn't been so powerful, we might have run away when we met that Sand Hidden team."

"Don't say that, Shuichi-kun." Namikaze Minato was a little embarrassed, "Everyone performed perfectly. Without your cooperation, I couldn't do anything by myself."

"Okay, that's all for the greetings." Seeing that everyone is here, Orochimaru went straight to the topic, "Although I killed a high-ranking member of Sayin, the war has just begun. This is an order from the village. You guys take a look."

The scrolls were spread out on the table, and several people gathered around. Everyone should have a clear idea of ​​how to fight next.

"Why are you in such a hurry, don't those old guys know that doing this will cause a lot of casualties?" Tsunade frowned after reading it, "The medical class is not short of manpower for the time being, but each medical ninja has limited chakra, and the medical supplies It will take time to transfer, what do they think!"

After reading the village's order, Xiuyi also pondered. The higher-ups asked them to find an opportunity to attack Sand Yin's power as soon as possible.

"Tsunade, don't say that." Jiraiya said, "The situation in the Land of Rain is more complicated. Although Iwagakure has not formally invaded, this situation has already occurred. I alone encountered 3 teams."

Jiraiya is also the Konoha ninja who is most familiar with the Land of Rain, so when Shuichi and others were active in the Land of Rain, he was under a lot of pressure as the captain of the Land of Rain front. In order to conduct a multi-party game, it is also necessary to take into account the situation of the country of grass.

Once Iwagakushi officially invades, Jiraiya will take over as the commander of that front. It is estimated that there will be no way to participate in the sand hidden front. Now is the time when Konoha masters are more concentrated and their strength is strongest.

"The overall strategic requirements have been finalized." Orochimaru revealed some other information, "The daimyo of the Kawa no country entrusted a large amount of funds to the country of fire, and the village has accepted it. And it has been decided long ago to prevent Sand Yin from occupying a large amount of territory. We need to achieve something in a few months."

"Then how should we fight?" Xiuyi asked, he thought there was nothing wrong with Konoha's high-level decision-making.

It is the thousands of elite forces in the village that decide the direction of the war, and most of them are now gathered on the front line of the Kawa no Country, and there must be an absolute advantage in fighting Sand Yin.

If you wait until the battle on several fronts, there will definitely be a large number of captain-level jounin and zhongnin transferred to other fronts, and then a batch of new zhongnin and jounin will be promoted from the lower levels.

In this way, on the surface, there are still so many teams that can be used, but the actual combat power has dropped sharply. Their combat experience is definitely not as good as those veteran captains. The casualty rate will definitely soar, and the battle will enter a bloody cannon fodder.

"Everyone, we have already made a preliminary decision." As a military adviser, Shikahisa Nara began to explain the strategic arrangement.

Spread out the latest topographic map of Chuanzhiguo, "According to our previous investigation, we can preliminarily judge the area occupied by Shayin."

His finger pointed to the two red lines on the map, "One is in the north of the central region, and the other is in the south of the region. More detailed information is still unknown, especially the distribution of their troops."

"I remember that the northwest and southern regions are rich in resources." Xiuyi frowned, "If the sand is more conservative, wouldn't it become a defensive area for us to attack them?"

Nara Shikahisa's expression was a little serious: "It is true, and there is a high probability that it is. Sand hidden will definitely focus on these two points, but we must attack."

"Okay!" Xiuyi quickly understood that Konoha could only do this.

If Sha Yin completely occupies this place, not only will its strength increase significantly, but it will also shorten the distance between the border between the two countries from more than 600 kilometers to about 200 kilometers.

Judging from the ninja's marching speed, the sand hidden ninjas starting from these two places can enter the land of fire with just a flick, how could Konoha tolerate such a threatening threat.

"So our tactical arrangement is divided into three stages. First, push forward the scope of activities to suppress the hidden sand, then find out the distribution of troops in these two areas, and finally choose one to launch a general attack..."

While Xiuyi looked at the map, he was also assessing the strategic situation of both sides in his mind.

To put it simply, Sand Hidden's invasion is like gnawing out two mouthfuls of the long cake of Kawanokuni. If you want to defend it, you will definitely divide your troops into two places.

Now Konoha's base is roughly distributed in a triangle with these two areas, so if you attack Sakai, you must first compress the opponent's control range, so that Sakai can't guess which side Konoha will attack.

If Sand Yin gets too much information, he can continue to deploy troops between the two places, and at the same time occupy a geographical advantage, Konoha will have to pay a high price if he wants to attack.

"The other party also understands this point. It is impossible to hold on to it. They will definitely send a large number of people to operate in the central area of ​​​​Kawanokuni." Nara Shikahisa explained the situation very clearly. "Of course we can't let them do what they want, so large-scale encounters The battle should take place in the northern Chuannanling Mountains, the Chubu Mountains, and the Toba Basin in the south."

The few people next to him knew very well that the two sides must compete for the control of the map in the center of the Chuan Kingdom, and this place will become a real battlefield meat grinder.
