Song Cheng glanced at his own city wall.

The Prefectural Soldiers were indeed not the half-baked type like the County Soldiers; here, they were elite, and like the Barbarians, data above their heads was in flux, rapidly changing between dozens and hundreds.

Clearly, there were capable military leaders in the Prefectural City.

Soon, the leader of the soldiers came over.

Hong Juguang said, "General Yuan, please introduce the strategies at play here."

The black-armored general might be a general outside, but his status in the Shanhe Martial Arts Hall was obviously not on par with that of the External Affairs Envoy or his, the Guest Elder. He respectfully saluted and then began to speak.

After listening for a while, Song Cheng roughly understood.

In battle between two armies, it was all about constantly weakening the opponent's "Momentum" while enhancing one's own "Momentum".

However, "Momentum" is fickle and ever-changing, so the leader must strive to find that moment when "our army's Momentum is strong, and the enemy's Momentum is weak," and strike to collapse them in one blow.

How to find that moment?

Experience is the only way.

General Yuan said, "If one side is completely routed, you can't imagine how those normally ferocious and strong soldiers will become as weak as women without the strength to truss a chicken, easy to pursue and cut down on horseback.

Even the slightest change on the battlefield can trigger a collapse or rise in Momentum."

But seizing that opportunity is extremely difficult.

Sometimes, when you see the enemy in disarray, it may actually be a trap...

And one small mistake from you could lead to total defeat."

You need to discern what is pulling the enemy's Momentum, and then deal with it quickly.

Typically, this will be a strong unit led by a powerful individual."

Hong Juguang nodded in agreement and said, "Brother Song, General Yuan knows much more about this than we do.

And when it really comes to battle, Shi and I will serve as the sharp knives that destroy the opposing Momentum.

Of course, the other side certainly has its own experts.

As for Brother Song, you stay on the city wall and deal with those Herald Death Warriors."

Song Cheng nodded his head; he understood the arrangement.

Even though his strength had been recognized, Hong Juguang and the others ultimately saw him as a blind man, so he was not arranged to charge into battle; defending the city was just fine.

At this moment, he looked again toward the distance.

There, the data was undulating like waves.

Morale?

Momentum?

This... could be seen too?

It had just transformed from "pure values" to "plane axis curve graphs."

If "high data" was being constantly created, and the "highest data" was continuously rising, then it meant "Momentum strong"; otherwise... it meant "Momentum weak."

Currently, with both sides facing off, one side full of aggressive spirit, the other calmly defending the city, both sides' "Momentum" were in a stable state.

However, the Barbarian Soldiers were strong individually, with a bent toward strength and supplemented by Demon Beasts.

As such, the "highest data" of the Barbarian Soldiers was significantly higher than that of the Prefectural Soldiers.

Seeing this, Song Cheng couldn't help but ask again, "General Yuan, is there really no way to discern Momentum?"

The black-armored general shook his head and said, "With no constant Momentum in soldiers, no constant shape in water, one who can achieve victory by adapting to the enemy's changes is deemed a God.

Even the God of Soldiers can only rely on experience to judge, no one can be one hundred percent certain.

This is the plain truth I am telling you both, once you commit to battle, there's no turning back.

You dare not even hesitate slightly on the battlefield, for as soon as commands of retreat are given, it can cause morale to rapidly collapse, leading to utter defeat."

Song Cheng understood.

His "ability" was quite broadly applicable.

...

...

In the early hours of the morning, the Barbarian Army suddenly launched a siege. Demon Beasts Flying Eagles unexpectedly flew out from behind their camp with a "whoosh", carrying Herald Death Warriors descending from the sky, while Wolf Mounts carrying Barbarian Soldiers charged from the front.

Hong Juguang and the others were initially fighting on the city walls, but the Barbarian Soldiers were fierce, and the city gate was about to be breached, so they hurriedly led the troops down and then burst out from a secret side gate.

General Yuan was anxiously roaring, it was clear that the Prefectural Soldiers were already starting to falter.

Song Cheng activated his shield with a thought, grasped a knife in his right hand, and his gaze swiftly moved across the "Momentum".

Wherever he saw an increasing trend, he quickly rushed over and beat it down.

Wherever he saw data gathering, he went over and scattered it.

Whenever he saw "Momentum" gathering on a certain Barbarian Soldier, he quickly found his way to them, recklessly killing them.

The battle on both sides was somewhat baffling.

The Barbarian Soldiers always felt extremely uncomfortable, completely different from their past experiences on the plains; they lacked that feeling of "Momentum unstoppable", and every charge dissipated easily.

General Yuan also found it magical, places that should have been defeated and breached according to military tactics and experience, somehow seemed to have divine assistance.

Soon enough, the Barbarian Soldiers retreated.

General Yuan still felt like he was dreaming, he rubbed his forehead, unable to understand what happened in the battle.

Perhaps it was the will of the Prefectural Soldiers defending their city?

Song Cheng let out a quiet sigh of relief.

He had just been trying it out.

He didn't expect it to actually work.
