Nephthys
Yang Wenli is one of the two protagonists of the 110 episode anime epic Legend of the Galactic Heroes. Yang is a soldier in the Alliance fleet who through his genius swiftly rises through the ranks to become a celebrated hero (Miracle Yang) and central galactic figure. He is in my opinion the greatest tactician in the show and probably the greatest in any work I have come across.
Now to test that.
Pit any character in fiction or real life against Yang in a tactical battle to see which is supreme.
Rules:
Characters will be given fleets or armies of equal strength to Yangs in manpower and talent.
The characters can use only their wits and command ability in the fight. No superhuman abilities can be used. No unnatural advantage can be had. This is a battle of strategy, not sorcery.
Info on Yang:
Yang Wenli is basically the military version of L from Death Note. He is able to predict peoples moves before they occur on very little information, he can instantly see through his opponents strategy and is able to select the best decision he can make and act on it decisively. He is able to trick or trap his opponents with little effort. He can ingeniously make use of the environment for his strategies.
Yang has taken an impenetrable fortress without losing a single soldier. The same fortress which repelled 6 previous invasions with little effort.
Yang has taken on multiple fleets at once equally, with a fleet the same size as any one of his opponents fleets. An early battle has him fight 2 fleets and still be capable of taking out a third when it makes a tactical blunder. And one point he is able to fight 8 fleets simultaneously and still manage to break through their lines and escape.
He predicts basically every strategy people in the show attempt, except for ones where he has no information on the matter.
I can't recall a single time when Yang has failed in his objective, whether that be to flee or fight.
