Douluo: Tang Hao kills me, the son pays for the father's debt

Chapter 287 Failure is the mother of success, life mentor Yu Xiaogang

The Jialing Pass was full of looting soldiers. Tang San was worried that Xiao Wu might get hurt, so he quickly took Tang Hao and Yu Xiaogang and flew directly to the temporary residence.

The mansion was not far away, and Tang San arrived there quickly with his speed. Seeing that there were no signs of impact on the mansion, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Giving the guards an affirmative look, Tang San flew directly in with Tang Hao and Yu Xiaogang, and they soon found their respective partners.

After a while of being together, several people finally gathered in the living room. Originally, they wanted to discuss the next plan. However, the whole room was now filled with a depressing atmosphere, and no one wanted to speak at all.

When it comes to military and national affairs, men are all outsiders, and women can do even less to help. They can only worry along with them.

After an unknown amount of time, Tang San finally mustered up the courage, slowly raised his heavy head, and looked at Yu Xiaogang with an almost pleading look.

"Teacher, do we still have hope?"

Tang San looked depressed and his voice was very hoarse. It seemed that the blow he suffered this time was indeed severe, making him lose his former confidence. Xiao Wu felt very distressed, but unfortunately she didn't know what to say.

According to Yu Xiaogang's original calculations, if the gods did not participate, they would have about a 50% chance of winning. Now that Tiandou's million-strong army has been destroyed, it can be said that this revenge action against Mo Bai was completely in vain.

Yu Xiaogang's life is all about fame. The whole thing dealt him no less of a blow than Tang San's. But at least he managed to survive one blow after another, so his mentality is naturally much stronger. He is also the best at finding possibilities from failure, otherwise he would not have persisted until today.

In fact, on the way back, Yu Xiaogang had been analyzing the reasons for the failure. He found many problems, but these were not the most important.

The key is that Tang San must regain his confidence, and Yu Xiaogang only has a chance to clear his name, otherwise he will always become a laughing stock of the entire Douluo Continent.

"Xiao San, what do you think is the main reason for our failure this time?"

It is not easy to get Tang San out of the shadow. It is useless to cheer him up in this situation. Only by finding the key to failure can we find a solution to the problem.

"We have all fallen into Mo Bai's trap. He has been plotting against us since we left Jialing Pass, using our eagerness to rescue to keep the army in a state of exhaustion.

The canyon cut off our connection with the following army. Without support, we were no match for the Spirit Hall's Soul Master Corps, so it was no surprise that we failed.

Of course, he also sent troops to harass our rear, cut off our food supply, dispersed our army, colluded with the nobles, attacked Jialing Pass, burned our food and supplies, and left us with no chance of turning the tables."

Tang San and Yu Xiaogang naturally understood the importance of Jialing Pass. Although there were not many defenders left, with the addition of the 100,000 troops guarding the grain route, it should not be breached so easily.

When entering the city, Tang San deliberately looked at the outer wall of Jialing Pass. There was no sign of an attack there. There was only one possibility for the Spirit Hall's Soul Master Corps to appear in the city, that is, someone had become a traitor, colluded with the Spirit Hall and opened the city gate for them.

It is hard to say who this traitor is, but he must be a noble. Thinking of this, Tang San suddenly burst out with a strong murderous aura. He felt that the method he used to treat the nobles was too merciful.

Yu Xiaogang could naturally discover the problems that Tang San could see. Seeing that Tang San was a little out of control, he shook his head helplessly and quickly reminded him.

"Xiao San, don't be anxious. Anger can't solve the problem. Calm down first."

After Tang San regained consciousness, Yu Xiaogang spoke again, but still in the form of questions.

"Xiao San, what do you think are our chances of winning in a head-on battle?"

Tang San was a little confused. This question had already been analyzed a long time ago. He didn't know why Yu Xiaogang was still asking, but he still gave an answer.

"Probably, fifty-fifty." Yu Xiaogang smiled and shook his head, then made a six gesture.

"No, if it weren't for this failure, I think we would have at least a 60% chance of success."

Tang San was a little bit incredulous. He didn’t know where Yu Xiaogang got such confidence from.
"why?"

Yu Xiaogang used the tea to draw two circles on the table, then slowly began to explain:

“These two circles represent Wuhun City and Jialing Pass respectively. The two places are several hundred miles apart, and even cavalry would take about five or six days to arrive.

If there is no insider, it is impossible for Mo Bai to take Jialing Pass in a short time. Why would he take such a big risk to enter Jialing Pass? What is he worried about? "

After Yu Xiaogang's analysis, Tang San suddenly felt enlightened.

"Siege engines."

"Yes, siege equipment. I have never been to the new Wuhun City, nor have I seen the outer checkpoints, but it is said that the checkpoint walls are fifty meters high, a height that ordinary people cannot cross.

Our army is basically made up of ordinary people. If Mo Bai retreats to the city, our soldiers will have no way to engage him in close combat. We will not be able to take advantage of the human wave tactics, so our only option is to destroy the city wall."

Yu Xiaogang's analysis was very logical, and Tang San's eyes became brighter and brighter, but soon began to dim again.

"Teacher, what you said is right, but what's the point of saying this now?"

How could Yu Xiaogang not know Tang San's complaints? However, an unfathomable smile appeared on his face.

"Xiao San, have you forgotten the Xing Luo Empire? Siege equipment is not exclusive to the Tian Dou Empire. We still have a million troops available.

Quality is more important than quantity. Tiandou is full of internal conflicts. On the surface, we control this million-strong army, but in reality, it is still those nobles who command the battle. Perhaps without their interference, we may be more likely to succeed. "

Failure is the mother of success. Yu Xiaogang can be said to have turned a disaster into a blessing as he finally understood some elements of war. Tang San admired his wisdom very much, so the matter was settled and it was time to head to the front line of the Xing Luo army.

Compared to the disastrous defeat of Tang San and Yu Xiaogang, the Xing Luo Empire can be said to have had a smooth journey. Although there were constant harassment from Evil Moon, the progress of the army was not slowed down much.

Also trained by Mo Bai, Xie Yue is definitely smart enough. His military ability is not that strong, but it is not too bad either. It's a pity that he has bad luck and was forced to take on the hot potato of the Xingluo Empire.

Xingluo was founded on military power and aims to unify the Douluo Continent. The army's combat effectiveness is already very strong, and the commander is naturally no ordinary person. Xie Yue has met his match this time.

In order to delay the Xing Luo army, Xie Yue tried every possible means, but unfortunately, he gained little.

Ambush? The Xingluo army would rather take a long detour than be fooled. Poison the water? They dig wells to get water. Intercept the food supply? There are 200,000 troops guarding day and night, and it is difficult to distinguish the real from the fake. For this, Xie Yue also sacrificed a lot of people.

Xie Yue even used the most despised assassination method, but unfortunately several Title Douluo went out for a few rounds and couldn't find the commander's tent. In the end, they could only return empty-handed.

Faced with such a fierce army covered with barbs, Xie Yue could only scratch his head and watch the Xing Luo army move forward.
