Chapter 287 - 287 45 His name is Feng Yin
?Chapter 287: Chapter 45: His name is Feng Yin! Chapter 287: Chapter 45: His name is Feng Yin! “The losses we have suffered this time have exceeded the total losses of Feiyi Hall over the past hundred years, Boss! And all from a single operation!”
“So much devastation, and we don’t even know why!”
Yao Jiuzui was emotionally charged, his eyes bloodshot.
“The strangest thing is, throughout this operation, everyone from top to bottom went in blindly. Even now, we still don’t know what we were fighting for, or what our objective was!”
“On the surface, we seemed to have led by the nose, assassinated their commander, blocked the mountains, and cut off their help… Out-strategizing them at every turn, making swift and decisive moves.”
“But as the situation has evolved…what was the point of our sacrifices? Why didn’t our army seize the opportunity to break through enemy lines? What exactly was the purpose of our forethought, our extensive planning?”
“I once thought that we made such sacrifices, at whatever cost, to create opportunities for our army. If we indeed took down the Great Qin’s Western Army, our sacrifices wouldn’t have been in vain. No words of resentment would have been muttered, and our brothers who perished would have done so in honor, smiling on their way to the netherworld. But in reality, our army remained inactive, leaving us to fight a bloody battle on the other side.”
The angrier Yao Jiuzui got as he spoke: “We claimed to have gained the upper hand, but the battleground was on Great Qin’s territory! Even when we initially caught them off guard, we failed to turn that advantage into a definitive victory. Instead, we ended up fighting it out in their base camp, against infinite reinforcements… What good could our manpower do? Excuse my boldness – whose brilliant strategy was this? Who devised this unprecedented battle tactic?”
“Was this truly a suicide mission? Were we sent to die?”
Yao Jiuzui said, “So many of our brothers fell in this inexplicable battle, and until now we don’t know what caused it all. Now, on behalf of the fallen brothers, I ask: why?”
Nursing the wound on his shoulder, he stood up straight, his gaze fixed on Zhan Yixiang’s back. “If this continues, blindly, how can our fallen brothers rest in peace? Even in death, they would be filled with resentment.”
“Or maybe… maybe our plans were nothing more than wishful thinking. There was no deeper strategic deployment. We rashly decided to assassinate their commander, launched a covert operation, but had no military support, no contingency plan. Our men fought to their deaths, oblivious to the enemy’s continuous reinforcements…”
“If they can’t give us a convincing reason, I absolutely won’t accept it.”
