Love letters are not allowed in the exorcism notebook!-Chapter 1199 - 12: The Undeniable Advantage Is Mine
The battle between the garrison soldiers, although it erupts in an instant, is not so easy to conclude.
The most troublesome issue is that neither side’s attacks can achieve a fatal blow.
Even when Wang Yunxiao enters the Blood Slaughter state, it doesn’t work, as the opposing armor is too thick.
If he were only dealing with a formation assembled by a single class, piercing through it with a spear wouldn’t be an issue, but an array of over a thousand people is different.
On a real battlefield, he would completely use some underhanded techniques to dismantle the opponent’s array and then defeat them one by one.
But it’s not a life-and-death situation now, so there’s no need for that.
"He just wants Wei Liuyun to think that he disdains using underhanded methods."
After the battle entered the second round, Yu Tongxuan finally spoke out about Wang Yunxiao’s tactical intentions.
"So what’s the reality?"
To be honest, General Zeng has not yet figured out how Wang Yunxiao intends to win given the current situation.
Facing each other with dignity, this side has Wei Bao who regained his strength for the rotating battle. If he holds on for a while and Wei Liuyun recovers, this cycle will become unbreakable.
Unless Wang Yunxiao is hiding some big move... In fact, everyone does believe he is hiding something. But as time passes and his stamina is infinitely exhausted, even bringing out any trump card may not work.
So he really can’t figure out how Yu Tongxuan calculated Wang Yunxiao’s sixty percent chance of victory.
But he can’t help but believe, after all, this is the conclusion of an Astrologer after careful consideration. When it comes to the ability to observe and judge the whole situation, ten Rampaging Colonels can’t compare to one Astrologer.
"Thirty percent of the chance is reserved for your Zeng Yun, Wei Liuyun’s actual chance is only ten percent."
Yu Tongxuan further threw out an even more radical claim.
"He only sees things on the surface and hasn’t considered outside factors."
"What outside factors?"
General Zeng thought to himself while watching, what outside factors could interfere with this battle?
Don’t tell me Wang Yunxiao got desperate and can temporarily summon his wife for a unified killing technique.
"Do you know why the Garrison Soldiers Dharma Gate is called Garrison Soldiers?"
Yu Tongxuan turned and asked what seemed to be a simple question to General Zeng.
General Zeng was taken aback for a moment, not knowing how to answer at first.
He certainly knew the answer but didn’t know which answer Yu Tongxuan was looking for.
"Ancient garrison soldiers were self-supplied with food, and received governmental office training. In other words, garrison soldiers could exert combat power only when prepared, and the more prepared they were, the stronger their combat power."
"For tonight’s sparring, Wang Yunxiao was mentally prepared long ago, while except for Wei Bao, the other students were completely unaware beforehand, so they hadn’t prepared at all."
Yu Tongxuan explained, "The most important thing in marching throughout history is the grain and supplies, as the saying goes, ’the troops are yet to move while the provisions go first.’ Wang Yunxiao ate and drank his fill for tonight’s fight, whereas, on the school side, the vast majority of students were already in bed at this time."
In a nutshell — they are fighting on an empty stomach against a well-fed person.
If this were in an army, such a problem would definitely not arise, the soldiers undergo intensive training on a regular basis, and at mealtime in the mess hall, they’d devour food wolfishly since a slight delay would mean missing out on food.
There was a saying circulated in the army, that if you put a new recruit and a pig at the same feeding trough, the pig would starve to death.
The Navy’s food standards are quite good, providing sufficient nutrition.
Moreover, in the school, students’ main task isn’t physical training but focusing on studies.
Except for a few exercise fanatics, almost nobody would eat themselves into a food coma at night. Many students still need to finish homework, and preview lessons at night, and if they really don’t want to study, they could play card games like Landlord or Scissors Punch.
Who in their right mind would overeat till they’re carb-loaded and sluggish?
Wang Yunxiao.
In fact, some details even Yu Tongxuan wasn’t aware of. Before agreeing on this fight, Wei Bao ordered a whole table full of hearty dishes, and Wang Yunxiao did not hold back, polished it off clean.
"If it were just an ordinary level of sparring match, eating or not wouldn’t matter much. But if Wang Yunxiao deliberately drags out the time for a war of attrition, Wei Liuyun would soon realize their logistics would face a big problem."
On the surface, of course, it’s not apparent; both sides seem to be fighting fiercely, as if intent on going all out.
But in reality, both Wei Liuyun and Wang Yunxiao are stalling for time, their tactical intentions are the same: understanding the shortcomings of the Garrison Soldiers Dharma Gate, they both want to drag it out until the other side can’t hold on and gives up.
The difference is, Wei Liuyun was not informed beforehand, and was forced into this, devising a temporary battle plan. While Wang Yunxiao was prepared for this goal from the outset.
It’s like a battle between two armies, eighty thousand against sixty thousand, each side believing the advantage is theirs.
As the saying goes, the participant is baffled, while the bystander sees clearly, it’s hard to make such a clear judgment while involved in the situation.
Gao Lingfeng seems to have already sensed some strange signs, decisively opting for the spring god Ru Shou over the summer god Zhurong during the shamanistic dance summoning, sacrificing attack power for formidable recovery ability.
This is the intuition of a warrior.
But this intuition cannot be translated into logical language to persuade Wei Liuyun.
