Capítulo 69: Chapter 69: Winning without Victory

...

"Throughout history, military books recount classic battles where the few have triumphed over the many, yet with our knowledge, we wouldn't fully trust what's written in those books," Chen Xi's smile had a hint of ridicule, thinking about the battles recorded in military books which always explained how the few defeated the many. Rare were the occasions when both sides had roughly equal capabilities, not to mention times when one side's military force significantly surpassed the enemy's—it seemed as if having more people prevented one's abilities from being showcased.

Lub Su looked at Chen Xi with surprise but also nodded, saying, "Indeed, the battles recorded in military books nearly always feature the triumph of the few over the many. But throughout history, the examples of winning with fewer numbers are probably just those mentioned in the military books."
