Ye Tian put down his wine cup and said slowly: "The Oca Longbow's power comes from the toughness of the redwoods. But the Pulley Type Steel Crossbow's power originates from the improved composition of steel, wood and metal.
"Furthermore, if the Oca Longbow want to shoot further, they must have manpower to do so. But Pulley Type Steel Crossbow relied on the pulley to pull the bow, and because of the principle of leverage, it saved more manpower. When using the same amount of manpower, the amount of manpower Pulley Type Steel Crossbow would have would be more than the amount of manpower that the Oca Longbow would be able to store. "
Fu Yutang nodded and fell into deep thought.
At this moment, a Company Leader in charge of scouting and detection named Duan Zhenrui said: "In my opinion, no matter how strong the weapon is, it still has its limitations. What really determines the outcome of a war is the will of the person, not the strength of the weapon. "
When Ye Tian heard this, he thought to himself: The good show is finally coming.
Fu Yutang glanced at Duan Zhenxi in dissatisfaction.
Although the warriors in the far away Beilao Pass did not know what was going on, for the most part, they had heard of the grudges between the Military and Political Academies and the Internal Affairs Bureau.
This Duan Zhenglu had obviously been hinted at by Lin Aoxiong and purposely made things difficult for Ye Tian.
Ye Tian took a bite of the steamed perch, put down his chopsticks and slowly said, "What you said, general, is right. The strength of the weapon is not the key to determining the outcome of a war. The key is still the will of man."
Upon hearing Ye Tian's words, Duan Zhenrui and Lin Aoxiong revealed slightly surprised expressions. It seemed like this Your Excellency Ye had immediately backed down and wasn't going to receive any fire at all.
"However," Ye Tian changed his tone and continued: "The strength of the weapon can maximize the will of the person. Although it cannot directly determine the outcome of the battle, in a specific battle, the strength of the weapon can play a leading role."
Lin Aoxiong peeled off a pickled peanut, and seemingly casually said: "Even if you have a steel crossbow in your hand, our soldiers are not afraid of death, charging forward one after another, no matter how many Crossbow Arrow there are, it will be hard to resist."
Ye Tian smiled: "That depends on how many soldiers you are willing to sacrifice your life to win a battle. More importantly, is it worth it to sacrifice so many soldiers' lives? "
Lin Aoxiong was speechless. He was the Forbidden Army, Commander-in-chief. The idea in his mind was to fight and charge, so he naturally had to die. Soldiers were meant to be sacrificed in times of war, so how could it be worth mentioning?
Ye Tian continued, "Whether it is the country, the society, or the family, the most important thing is the human being. The most precious thing is the human life. If a wife had no husband, no father, no children, no people, such a country is a failed country, and will not last long. As subjects, regardless of whether we join the government or the army, we have to put our hearts on the country, the people, live in peace, live in peace, sing and dance. That is the most true manifestation of our loyalty to the Emperor. "
After a pause, Ye Tian continued: "A single soldier, although insignificant in the entire army, is still a fresh life after all. Even if war is unavoidable, when planning and commanding battles, the first thing to think about is how to preserve the lives of the soldiers to the fullest extent, and not how to sacrifice the lives of many soldiers for the sake of a short, small victory. "
Hearing Ye Tian's words, all the Beilao Pass officials were slightly moved. It was previously unthinkable that a high-ranking official could contemplate the lives of ordinary soldiers.
Lin Aoxiong slightly frowned and asked: "Shouldn't the overall situation be the priority?".
"I mean, as a general, the estimated casualty rate of the soldiers should be considered in advance as a very important factor in the planning of the operation. I am more inclined to preserve the lives of soldiers in the light of the results and the choice of casualties among the soldiers. "
"For the same reason, the design of the weapon should focus more on how to reduce the casualty rate on their side, rather than solely emphasizing the rate of killing or injuring the enemy."
To the generals of Beilao Pass, Ye Tian's words were a fresh battle theory.
He did his best to preserve his strength, not to blindly reap the small spoils of war.
They didn't know that in the world before Ye Tian's transmigration, there was a military expert who was respected by the whole world. Many of his works were on the theories of guerrilla warfare, sports warfare and sustained warfare.
Ye Tian was only able to extract a portion of the most superficial part of these theories, but it was enough to fool them into not understanding what was going on.
The other generals of Beilao Pass felt more towards Ye Tian.
Military Court advisor Yuan Wu glanced at the group of ladies dancing on the stage and said: "This dance is too boring, let's play something fun, let me suggest a suggestion, how about Military Court and general level officers having a match?"
With the help of the alcohol, everyone immediately cheered.
They were both from the military, and the best way was to compete in martial arts.
Yuan Zhou got off the dance floor first. He steadied his legs and took a horse stance. With a flushed face, he said, "Who wants to go first?"
However, none of the Beilao Pass Generals moved.
Ye Tian was speechless once again.
Fu Yutang's troops were very disciplined. Without Commander-in-chief's order, even if they drank some wine, not a single soldier could withstand the other party's provocation and would act without permission.
Fu Yutang put down his chopsticks and said: "They are about to challenge us. Why aren't you going?"
A squadron leader of a cavalry unit called Lu Weidao had long since lost control of himself and jumped onto the dance stage. The two of them fought back and forth.
Not long after, Yuan Zhou fell to the ground and laughed awkwardly. "Damn, today's wine is a little strong. If it was a normal day, I would have definitely defeated you."
Lu Weiguo did not argue, but smiled as he watched Yuan Zhengwu return to the long table.
Another attaché from Military Court got off the dance floor, got into a fighting stance with Lu Weiguo, and continued.
After three laps, maybe because the people from Military Court had been working in the capital city the entire time, their muscles and bones loosened up, unlike the generals from Beilao Pass, who had been bathed in blood and fought for many years, risking their lives to fight to the death, the result of the competition was one-sided. In the end, no one from Military Court responded.
Lin Aoxiong and Fu Yutang smiled at each other and made a inviting gesture.
Xiang Fanyuan, who still had Beilao Pass on the dance floor, was waiting for the people from Military Court to come challenge him. When he saw the battle between Lin Aoxiong and Fu Yutang, he retreated to the side.
Lin Aoxiong and Fu Yutang walked to the center of the dance floor and bowed to each other. Then Lin Aoxiong suddenly threw out a punch and Fu Yutang extended his arm to block it.
A quarter of an hour later, Fu Yutang's punch landed on Lin Aoxiong's chest, and Lin Aoxiong's palm landed on Fu Yutang's shoulder. The two of them could be considered as having a draw.
"Lin Wu Tie's Wind Slasher Palm is still this powerful." Fu Yutang sighed.
"There is no need for Fu Commander-in-chief to be modest. I have practiced the Wind Slasher Palm every day, so I dare not slack at all. This is why I was able to tie with your Heaven Shaking Fist. I am ashamed." Lin Aoxiong said with a smile.
The two of them retreated back to the long table, but a general Xiang Yeyuan still retained his Beilao Pass by the side of the dance floor.
At this moment, Xiang Fangyuan laughed, "What's wrong?" Is there no one else with Military Court left? "
At the moment, the people from Military Court had already competed with the Beilao Pass, and even Lin Aoxiong had went up on stage.
Hearing Xiang Ye Yuan's words, Good Yuan Wu stepped on the chair and said, "There's already no one left in the capital to fight? Damn, is Beilao Pass really so awesome? "
Hearing these words, Ye Tian instinctively frowned. These words of "good Yuan Martial Arts" clearly divided the capital and Beilao Pass into two sides, and not just Military Court and Beilao Pass.
Before he could carefully think about the good martial intent of the Elementalist, he heard him slapping the table and shout: "Your Excellency Ye is also someone from the capital, I'll let your Beilao Pass taste Your Excellency Ye's might."
Ye Tian raised his head and looked at Yuan Zhou. His heart instantly brightened.
Other than the matter of receiving the ceremonial greeting, this was the second set that the Military Court had set up for him. To let the generals of Beilao Pass know that the Your Excellency Ye whom they were thinking about was actually trash. If they followed him, they would definitely have no future.
Ye Tian glanced at Lin Aoxiong and then looked at Fu Yutang.
Fu Yutang obviously looked forward to it and asked: "I wonder if Your Excellency Ye is a warrior? Or a mage? "
Ye Tian was a bit embarrassed as he said, "To tell you the truth, I am neither a warrior nor a mage."
Fu Yutang was slightly surprised and asked: "That, Your Excellency Ye is a summoner?"
"Aiya, I almost forgot." "Your Excellency Ye, forgive me, but I forgot that you are born to be a waste and you don't have any martial arts or mana in your body."
"I, I deserve to die. Slap!" As he spoke, he slapped his own mouth.
"There's no need to be like this. Hurry up and get up." Ye Tian quickly regained his composure and told Yuan Zhengwu.
"Coach Yuan is right, I don't have any martial power or mana in my body. As of right now, I can only barely be considered a Herbalist." Ye Tian said lightly.
"Oh." Fu Yutang replied, but his heart was full of mixed emotions.
Although the Herbalist was rare and important, it was still a supporting role. Without force or mana, one could not be a hero in the army or in war.
To rule the world and take over the imperial government was entirely dependent on one's own strength. The Herbalist served others more, on this point, it was impossible for Your Excellency Ye to become a real leader.
Fu Yutang sighed in his heart. Your Excellency Ye's fate might be destined to be a supporting role.
