At the beginning of the second game, the drum shook the sky, and the two generals stabbed and shadowed, only to see General Liu use the blade of the left sword to block the long knife, and the right sword went straight to the enemy general, but who knew that General Yuan collected the knife in time to block back, and the knife and the sword collided with each other, and for a while, the fire was shining. I watched them stand by as if they were really standing in the middle of the battle between the two armies in ancient times. Just when I was watching the excitement, a question suddenly appeared in my mind, since this fight is completely judged by the force of both sides, then what is the point of this fight? Judge the winner directly, so why waste time on this? Don't......

Just when I was in doubt, the battle between the two generals ended with our defeat. I looked at the force of the two sides on the screen, our force is far less than the strength of the other side, it seems that it is just my thoughts, the battle between the two generals is just to set off the atmosphere, and there is no real meaning.

The defeat in this second game is not meaningless, first, at least it gives us an idea of the opponent's force; Second, it also confirms that the outcome of the competition does depend on the strength of both sides.

Xia Cheng's nervous expression gradually eased, although this third game is the key to the battle for victory and defeat, but this key is not something we can control, everything depends on the real strength of the opponent's third general, even if the key to winning is on the other party, but this battle still has to be faced.

At this moment, the last general of the opponent was already wearing armor and carrying a sword, ready to go on the field. This general looks far less aura than the two big men who played before, he is more ordinary, and there is no general style or handsome talent between his gestures. If it weren't for the fact that the armor on his body still had a bit of stance, he would probably be considered by others to be just an ordinary soldier. But as the old saying goes: people cannot be disguised, and the sea cannot be measured. Many seemingly unknown characters are not talented in the world.

The screen on the "test field" appeared with the general's message.

General En, force value 101.

I rubbed my eyes, wondering if I had looked at one more digit, but it was clearly written on the screen: General En, force is worth 101.

I did the math in my mind, even if we sent General Zhao, who had played before, to fight the enemy with a spear, it would still be inferior to the opponent's force in terms of numbers. Even if you fight, you will only lose once.

Xia Cheng's expression, which had eased slightly, became solemn again.

But the matter has come to this point, and General Huang can only be allowed to fight, and maybe there will be some miracle.

After a few minutes of fighting, the final reality didn't turn out to be as miraculous as we thought. Although the opponent's swordsmanship was not exquisite, his sword aura was so strong that General Huang's bow and arrow could not hurt him at all, but he was shot down by his sword qi and dismounted.

At this point, the whole game came to an end, and we lost one chance to defend with one win and two losses.

"This General En actually uses force 101, if that's the case, won't we have no one to defeat him?" Cui Li angrily kicked the wall of the exhibition hall with his foot.

"Wait, don't you think this test is a bit like [Note] Tian Ji horse racing? Maybe that's the way to win. Lin Yun smiled triumphantly as if an explorer had found a treasure map.

"You're saying we can emulate the Tatsumi race? Reasonable. Zhao Yuyu also agreed.

Xia Cheng spread the paper on the ground and simply wrote the names of the six generals on it.

Our:

General Zhao - spear, force 100.

General Huang - Jin Gong, force 89.

General Liu - Double Swords, Force 78.

Enemy:

General En - Short Sword, Armed Forces 101.

General Tun - spear, armed force 99.

General Yuan - Broadsword, Armed Forces 89.

"If we follow Tian Ji's horse race, we should use General Zhao against General Dun, and we can win. But the problem is still in this second game, even if we send General Huang against General Yuan, it will only be a draw at most, and there is no possibility of winning! "Zhang Xinran has obviously taken all the matchups into account, and as she said, even if we follow Tian Ji Horse Racing, we can only draw at most, and there is no possibility of winning. It's like a student who gets a test paper and has a full of multiple-choice questions in front of him, but he can't find the right option. Looking at this unsolvable problem, all of us showed a look of loss.

"This is clearly playing tricks on us, what kind of security facilities, wouldn't it be good to directly alarm and then close all the channels, what kind of test, I really don't understand what Ouyang Yu thinks. What's the point of coming up with such an unsolvable problem? What do you say about the top designer, the rules say what he says, and he doesn't tell us, even if he wins, we are nothing great! Cui Li said angrily on the side.

"Maybe there's something else. Let's look again, and maybe we'll find something new. I patted Cui Li on the shoulder. It is as if we have lost our direction on the vast sea, and the port we once thought was just like a bubble across our fingertips, leaving behind only endless loss.

We stood where we were and didn't move forward, nor did we retreat, Mr. Ouyang Yu's puzzle was indeed not easy to solve, but did we just give up?

We didn't start a new match right away, in fact, we know that even if we play now, we will only lose, so we continue to look for clues in the exhibition hall that we have overlooked, and even if there is only one chance, I will never give up.

"Come here! What's the use of that? Lin Yun's expression was as if he had found a second treasure map.

"What's wrong, what did you find?" Li Ruina walked towards Lin Yun, who was standing beside the enemy general.

"There's a button here?" Lin Yun pointed to a number button next to the other general, marked with 'one', we looked at the other two generals, and sure enough, there was a mark next to each of them 'two' and 'three'.

"What's the use of that?" One', 'two', 'three'. Cui Li pressed the button of 'one', and suddenly the position that was still 'one' became 'two'.

Little did we know that this might be the key to cracking the matchup!

Tian Ji horse racing is from the "Historical Records" volume 15: "The Fifth Biography of Sun Tzu Wu Qi Lie", the main characters of the story are Tian Ji, Sun Bin and King Qi Wei, and it is a famous example in Chinese history of revealing how to use one's strengths to deal with the weaknesses of opponents, so as to win in competition.
