This series of scenes is like a tragic painting, revealing the grim face of war.
Weishan is located near the Sea of Japan, boasting an expansive coastal plain.
This flat and boundless plain is much like a giant and smooth chessboard, highly favorable for the rapid mobilization and comprehensive deploynt of large-scale armies, making it an excellent site for conducting large-scale battles.
However, precisely because it is flat and lacks natural defensive barriers, in the face of war’s cruel baptism, the defenders must rely on man-made fortifications to reinforce their defenses.
Recalling the previous failure of the Ming Army here was largely due to the inadequate and unskillful use of surrounding mountains and rivers to compensate for the flat plain’s defensive shortcomings, leading to a passive position on the battlefield.
Shi Feiyang gazed at the plain before him, quietly pondering how to leverage the existing conditions, devising a strategy to defeat the enemy and restore the Ming Army’s strength and glory.
Shi Feiyang tightly held Lin Wanqing’s hand as they stepped into the battered Weishan.
Along the way, the traces of rampant war were everywhere, villages burnt down, and broken walls swayed precariously in the wind.
The displaced civilians showed fear and helplessness in their eyes.
Ragged elderly folk holding young children curled up shivering in corners, their frail bodies seemingly ready to be devoured by the rciless flas of war at any mont. Young n stared blankly into the distance, as if searching for a glimr of hope amidst confusion and despair.
The shadow of war hung over this land like dark clouds, rcilessly stripping away people’s peace and happiness.
Witnessing all this, Shi Feiyang’s sense of responsibility grew stronger.
He radiated an inherent aura of dominance, determined to dispel the war and suffering from the world.
Despite being exhausted from the journey, he didn’t rest, imdiately leading Lin Wanqing to find Li Song and the defeated generals from before.
With a grave deanor, as if bearing the fate of the entire world, he earnestly and systematically explained, "Gentlen, the hills and rivers here are God-given natural advantages. We must ticulously plan to cleverly utilize them to make up for the plain’s defensive weaknesses. The most urgent task now is to build strong fortifications. Additionally, I am willing to lead the disciples of the Heroic Sakura Association, bypass the enemy’s rear, and launch a surprise attack, while General Li leads the army in a frontal assault. Only then can we hope to turn this difficult battle in our favor and save the people trapped in war flas."
Shi Feiyang’s voice was firm and powerful, resonating in the air like a great bell, with an irresistible force, as if declaring to this cruel war that victory would inevitably belong to the righteous.
This plan erged like a dazzling light, instantly piercing the abyss of darkness, lighting a beacon of hope for everyone, indicating the path ahead. Li Song heard the plan, his eyes suddenly brightened, his excitent was clearly evident.
He stepped forward quickly, gripping Shi Feiyang’s hand tightly, shaking it vigorously and said, "Hero Shi, this plan is brilliant! With your assistance, our army will surely defeat the enemy and restore peace to the people!"
Saying this, he wholeheartedly agreed to Shi Feiyang’s battle plan without hesitation.
After making all arrangents, Shi Feiyang led the Heroic Sakura Association heroes to rest temporarily in their respective tents.
After days of traveling and intense battles, everyone was exhausted, their legs felt as heavy as lead, making every step difficult.
Shi Feiyang turned to look at Lin Wanqing, his domineering gaze transforming into endless gentleness. Throughout the journey, while traversing mountains and rivers, he never hesitated to carry Lin Wanqing on his back, protecting her from wind and rain, and overcoming hardships.
He was well aware of the hardships of this journey and understood the difficulty of having Lin Wanqing by his side, cherishing and caring for her even more.
At this mont, he softly said to Lin Wanqing, "Let’s rest too, you must be tired."
Lin Wanqing walked gracefully into the tent shared with Shi Feiyang. The tent was simply yet warmly arranged, with soft straw covered by thick blankets on the ground, creating a small haven amidst the flas of war.
In one corner of the tent were so simple living supplies, with their weapons hanging nearby. The cold weapons sharply contrasted with the cozy atmosphere, constantly reminding them of the harsh reality of war.
She imdiately noticed a large bath barrel inside, feeling quite puzzled.
The bath barrel emitted a faint wood fragrance, with clear textures, exuding a sense of tranquil tis past.
She lightly furrowed her brows, resembling willow leaves swaying in a spring breeze, looked at Shi Feiyang, and softly asked, "Where did this large bath barrel co from?" Her voice was gentle and lodious, like an oriole singing in the valley, exceptionally pleasing in the slightly silent tent.
Shi Feiyang smiled, his smile like a warm spring sun, gentle and charming. He replied mysteriously, "It’s a secret." Saying this, he playfully winked, his eyes full of affection for Lin Wanqing.
Seeing his answer, Lin Wanqing tactfully refrained from asking further.
She looked at Shi Feiyang, her eyes full of love and trust, as if her gaze could lt him.
Subsequently, Lin Wanqing and Shi Feiyang together slowly approached the bath barrel. Shi Feiyang reached out and gently held Lin Wanqing’s soft hand, their fingers intertwined like tightly entwined vines, inseparable.
