Alien King

Chapter 41 Jade Lake Villa
Fu Yutang and Ye Tian drank another cup, and said, "Master Ye, I don't know anything about craftsmanship, but I still want to ask Mr. Ye how this pulley steel crossbow can go farther than the Eka longbow." The range and the higher accuracy, logically, it kind of doesn't make sense."

Ye Tian put down his wine glass, and said slowly: "The strength of the Eka longbow comes from the toughness of the red cedar tree. But the strength of the pulley steel crossbow comes from the improved composition ratio of steel, wood and metal. You Say who is more powerful."

"Furthermore, if the Eka longbow wants to shoot farther, it needs manpower to open the bow. However, the pulley-type steel crossbow relies on pulleys, and the pulley is used to draw the bow. Because of the principle of leverage, it saves more manpower. At the same cost In the case of manpower, the trigger force accumulated by the pulley steel crossbow is greater than the manpower accumulated by the Eka longbow."

Fu Yutang nodded and fell into deep thought for a moment.

At this time, Duan Zhenxiao, a squadron leader in charge of reconnaissance at Beilaoguan, said, "In my opinion, no matter how powerful a weapon is, it always has its limitations. It is people who really determine the outcome of a war." The will, not the strength of the weapon."

When Ye Tian heard it, he secretly said: The good show is finally coming.

Fu Yutang cast a dissatisfied glance at Duan Zhenxiao.

This subordinate is very good at conducting investigations, and he is willing to fight with all his might, but he was single-handedly picked up by Lin Aoxiong. The complex relationships in the capital, the various forces fighting openly and secretly, even though the soldiers far away at the Beilong Pass do not know the details There are many ways to talk about it, but in general, I have heard of the grievances between the military and government departments and the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

This Duan Zhenxiao was obviously hinted by Lin Aoxiong to deliberately embarrass Ye Tian.

Ye Tian didn't rush, first took a mouthful of steamed sea bass, then put down his chopsticks, and slowly said: "What this general said is very true, the strength of weapons is not the key to the victory or defeat of a war, the key lies in people will."

Hearing Ye Tian's words, both Duan Zhenxiao and Lin Aoxiong showed slightly surprised expressions, dare to say that Master Ye backed down as soon as he came up, and he didn't take the fire at all.

"However," Ye Tian changed his tone, and continued: "The strength of a weapon can assist a person's will to the greatest extent. Although it cannot directly determine the outcome of the entire war, in a specific battle, the strength of a weapon Strength and weakness can play a leading role in the battle.”

Lin Aoxiong peeled a pickled peanut, and said casually: "Even if you have a steel crossbow in your hand, our soldiers are brave enough to charge forward, no matter how many crossbow arrows there are, it is difficult to resist."

Ye Tian smiled slightly: "That depends on how many soldiers' lives you are willing to pay to win a battle. More importantly, is it worthwhile to pay so many soldiers' lives."

Lin Aoxiong froze, unable to speak for a while.He is the commander-in-chief of the Forbidden Army, and the idea in his mind is that when fighting and charging, people will naturally die. Soldiers are originally used to sacrifice during war, so why is it worth talking about?

Ye Tian continued: "Whether it is the country, the society, or the family, the most important thing is people, and the most precious thing is human life. With people, everything has meaning. If a wife has no husband and children have no The father, the poor people, and the poor people, such a country is a failed country, and it will not last long. Those of us who are courtiers, whether we are in politics or the army, we must first care about the country and the people, live and work in peace and contentment, sing and dance, It is the truest manifestation of our loyalty to the emperor."

After a pause, Ye Tian continued: "Although a soldier may seem insignificant in the entire army, he is a living life after all. Even if war is inevitable, as a general, he must formulate plans and direct operations. When fighting, the first thing to consider is how to save the lives of soldiers to the greatest extent, rather than sacrificing the lives of many soldiers for a short-term or small victory.”

Hearing Ye Tian's words, all the generals and officers in the North Prison were a little moved.It was unimaginable before that a high-ranking official could appreciate the lives of ordinary soldiers.

Lin Aoxiong frowned slightly, and asked: "Shouldn't the overall situation be the most important?",

"Of course we should focus on the overall situation. What I mean is that as a general, when formulating a combat plan, the expected casualty rate of soldiers should be considered as a very important factor in advance. In terms of the choice of small battle results and soldier casualties, I prefer to save the lives of soldiers."

"Similarly, in the design of weapons, more consideration should be given to how to reduce the casualty rate of one's own side, rather than blindly emphasizing the kill rate of the enemy."

For the generals at Beilao Pass, Ye Tian's words were a fresh combat theory.

Try to retain vitality as much as possible, instead of blindly achieving small results.

They didn't know that in the world before Ye Tian traveled, there was a military strategist respected by the whole world, many of his works were about the theory of guerrilla warfare, mobile warfare and continuous warfare.

And Ye Tian just extracted some of the most obvious parts of these theories, and he was able to fool them to no avail.

The generals and officers of Beilaoguan have more gratitude to Ye Tian.

Yuan Haowu, a staff member of the Military Affairs Academy, glanced at a group of girls who were singing and dancing on the dance floor, and said, "This song and dance is too boring, let's play something interesting, I have a suggestion, the Military Affairs Academy and the generals of the North Prison, come How about a match."

With drunkenness, everyone immediately cheered up.

They are all from military background, and the best thing is to compete in martial arts.

Yuan Haowu got off the dance floor first, his legs stood firm, he took a horse step, and with a flushed face, he said, "Who will come first."

None of the generals at Beilao Pass moved.

Ye Tian cheered again in his heart.

Fu Yutang's troops were indeed well-disciplined.Without the order of the general, even after drinking some wine, none of the soldiers could not stand the opponent's aggressive general and acted without authorization.

Fu Yutang put down his chopsticks and said, "I'm about to challenge you, so hurry up."

The squadron leader of a cavalry squadron in Beilongguan, named Lu Weiguo, couldn't hold back any longer and jumped onto the dance floor.The two fought back and forth.

After a while, Yuan Haowu fell to the ground, smiled embarrassingly, Yuan Haowu said: "Damn, today's wine is a bit strong, if it is normal, I will definitely beat you."

Lu Weiguo didn't argue, just smiled and watched Yuan Haowu return to the long table.

Another counselor from the Military Affairs Academy got off the dance floor, posed with Lu Weiguo, and continued to fight.

After three laps, it may be that the people from the Military Affairs Academy have been working in the capital, and their muscles and bones are loose. They are not like the generals in Beilongguan who have been fighting bloody battles for many years, and the results of the competition became one-sided. In the end, However, there was no one in the Military Affairs Academy to fight.

Lin Aoxiong and Fu Yutang smiled at each other and made a gesture of please.

On the dance floor, Xiang Yeyuan from Beilaoguan was waiting for the people from the Military Affairs Academy to challenge him. When he saw Lin Aoxiong and Fu Yutang fighting, he retreated to the side.

Lin Aoxiong and Fu Yutang walked to the center of the dance floor and saluted each other, then Lin Aoxiong suddenly punched, Fu Yutang stretched out his arms to block, and the two fought together vigorously.

A quarter of an hour later, Fu Yutang punched Lin Aoxiong in the chest, and Lin Aoxiong slapped Fu Yutang's shoulder with his palm, and the fight was considered a tie.

"Zongbing Lin's Wind Splitting Palm is still so powerful." Fu Yutang sighed.

"Fu Zongbing doesn't need to be modest, I practice this Wind Splitting Palm every day, and I dare not slack off even a little bit, so I am ashamed and ashamed to be tied with your Sky Shaking Fist." Lin Aoxiong said with a smile.

The two retreated to the long table, but Xiang Yeyuan, a general from Beilaoguan, remained beside the dance floor.

At this time, Xiang Yeyuan laughed: "What? Is there no one available in the Military Affairs Academy?"

At this moment, everyone in the Military Affairs Academy has already competed with Beilaoguan, and even Lin Aoxiong has played. At this moment, there is really no one available.

Hearing Xiang Yeyuan's words, Yuan Haowu stepped on the chair and said, "There is no one in the capital to fight? Damn, is Beilaoguan so arrogant?"

Hearing this sentence, Ye Tian frowned instinctively. Yuan Haowu's words clearly divided the capital and Beilaoguan into two factions for the competition, not the Military Affairs Academy and Beilaoguan.

Before he thought about what Yuan Haowu meant, he heard Yuan Haowu slap the table and shouted: "Master Ye is also from the capital, let you have a taste of Master Ye's power in Beilaoguan."

Ye Tian raised his head, glanced at Yuan Haowu, and his heart instantly became clear.

Apart from receiving guards of honor, this was the second set up for him by the Military Affairs Academy.This is to let the generals at Beilao Pass know that the Master Ye they are thinking of is a good-for-nothing. If they follow him, they will definitely have no future in the future.

Ye Tian glanced at Lin Aoxiong, then at Fu Yutang.

Fu Yutang was obviously looking forward to it, and asked, "I wonder if Mr. Ye is a warrior? Or a mage?"

Ye Tian was a little embarrassed, and said embarrassingly: "To tell you the truth, I am neither a warrior nor a mage."

Fu Yutang was slightly taken aback, and asked, "Then, Master Ye is a Summoner?"

"Oh, I almost forgot." Yuan Haowu suddenly said loudly again: "Master Ye, forgive me, I forgot that you are a natural waste, and you don't have any force or mana in your body."

"I, damn it, I slap my mouth." Yuan Haowu slapped his mouth while talking.

"No need to be like this, get up quickly." Ye Tian quickly regained his composure, and said to Yuan Haowu.

"Counselor Yuan is right. I don't have any force or mana in my body. From the current point of view, I can barely be regarded as a herbalist." Ye Tian said lightly.

"Oh." Fu Yutang replied, but his heart was full of complicated emotions.

Herb pickers are rare and very important, but they are an auxiliary supporting role after all.Without force or mana, one cannot be a protagonist in an army or in a war.

To rule the world and dominate the government depends entirely on one's own strength.Herbalists are more about serving others. In this regard, it is impossible for Mr. Ye to become a real leader.

Fu Yutang sighed softly in his heart, Mr. Ye's fate may be destined to be a supporting role.
