Legend has it that there was a general named "Invincible" in ancient times. He was a master of martial arts, undefeated in battle, and invincible. He had defeated countless powerful opponents on the battlefield, and people said he was invincible. One day, he led his army to attack a city. The city was strong and the defenders were very brave. For a while, it could not be captured. General Invincible was in great distress and came up with an idea. He ordered his soldiers to surround the city walls and then burn them down with torches. However, this resulted in the injury of civilians in the city, which angered the people. They took up arms and fought back, eventually defeating General Invincible's army. General Invincible never recovered from this defeat and never reached his former glory.
