Neo Chapter 256 – Guandu Naval Battle (2) [Yuan Shao’s Retelling]
When Yuan Shao saw his three biggest shi+ps sinking withouthis shi+p’s rail as tight as he can “MRRGGGHHHH!!!!” So, you were able to shot down my shi+ps with those ballistaes eh? No matter, now it is the tiht Yuan Shao While Yuan Shao is still prideful, Ju Shou is more cautious Ju Shou then reviewed by hiht now He then frantically searched his archives and found out the intel about battle of Wancheng and Jing Province vs Jiangdong He had given this to Yuan Shao but Yuan Shao just crumpled that information and dismissed it, even said “LUCK, JUST SHEER LUCK WHAT ELSE COULD IT BE IF IT ISN’T LUCK!!!” Right now Ju Shou read again in intel su Province with the help of a neeapon The specification is as follows: It is a ballistae variant, can rapid fire and can sink shi+ps from 300 paces away” Ju Shou eyes widened when he read the information Oh no, rapid fire and can sink shi+ps!!! However when he is about to tell Yuan Shao, suddenly there is another shi+p sinking [TL Notes: Rapid fire is ripple fire in raw Since when ROTK turned into GRADIUS?!]
When Ju Shou is on deck, he saw another five warshi+ps sink in an instant and the last one, he saw the process of its sinking, which is the hull is penetrated, destroying their shi+ps immediately 8 warshi+ps and 3,000 troops sank in almost an instant Yuan Shao then screamed his order “ALL shi+PS, ADVANCE!!!!!!!!!” Yuan Shao’s expression beco in this battle Ju Shou then said “Milord, proceed carefully Their ballistae can do rapid fire!!!”
“SILENCE!!!” Yuan Shao screamed toward Ju Shou and he said “I DON’T CARE IF THOSE CAN RAPID FIRE OR NOT!!! AS LONG AS I KEPT MOVING, CAN HE HIT ME?!” And so, Yuan Shao’s fleet advancing in high speed toward Cao Cao Cao Cao just shook his head, he know that Yuan Shao is i his 8 shi+ps and ordered again “First roithdraw and reload, change with second row!!!” With that order, the shi+ft progressed sain And because this time the distance is only 200 steps, 12 shi+ps of Yuan Shao’s fleet become a victim “Third row!!! SHOOT!!!!” Cao Cao calmly commanded He was the inally, directing the fleet should be given to the person in charge of the water arreat i it himself
In this mobile warfare, the Cao Army used all the ballista that could pierce warshi+ps The first wave caused the highest dae Cao Cao had 30,000 soldiers and over 100 warshi+ps Cao Cao wanted to ht directly with Yuan Shao, Cao Cao would have been defeated The reason why Cao Cao could stand at the peak of the world is because he has great learning ability It was not a probleer than hi as Cao Cao had time, Cao Cao would learn from his enemies and use the enemy tactics as reference Since the ballistae was used the first tied hoater battles work Cao Cao’s ballistae was not as good as Lu Bu’s ballistae The penetrating range of the arroas inferior However, this does not prevent Cao Cao fro defeating the Jiangdong Ar had used the wind to his advantage
Cao Cao could not use this strategy This is because his ballista was not the sa only had 7,000 soldiers and 20 warshi+ps On the other hand, Cao Cao had 100 warshi+ps If he had copied the strategy, a single careless mistake would cause his entire army to be annihilated First of all, the Yellow River was not as wide as the river at Wan Cheng Second, Gan Ning had spread out his warshi+ps If Cao Cao were to do the sa, the entire river would be blocked by warshi+ps Cao Cao would have to fight Yuan Shao directly after a single salvo and the power of the ballista could not bethe power of the ballista There were ten rows to expand the attack surface The warshi+ps are scattered at the Yellow River A roould retreat after firing and then the next roould repeat the sa Once all the rows have fired the ballistae, then only would it be tiht a decisive battle with Yuan Shao Otherwise he would immediately be defeated by Yuan Shao’s superior nuer but he calmed down almost quickly for he is Yuan Shao, one of 3 lords of Yuan clan’s 4th generation and Yuan Shao who pacify 4 provinces of Hebei
“Continue shooting!!! 4th row!!!” Exclaioes continuously until 7th rohere it is no longer feasible to shot any it total of 40 shi+ps and 15,000 personnel At this juncture, Yuan Shao exclaiold and official titles!!!!” And it successfully raised the morale of whole Yuan Army
“bued to close in to do melee All of Yuan Arer that they have been hiding in their belly It is at this time, Yuan Shao dishes out more rewards “KILL ALL OF THEM, ANNIHILATE EVERY LAST ONE OF THEM!!!! I RAISED THE REWARD, THOSE WHO KILL CAO ARMY’S PERSONNEL WILL GET 100 TAELS OF GOLD, WHILST AN OFFICER REWARDED 1,000 TAELS OF GOLD!!!” Goddatze River like nothing You forceout the rewards
“SHAAAA!!!!!” Screa their shi+ps with Cao Ar toward them The nearby company commander reported to Cao Cao “Milord, we cannot move 7th row to the back!!! I request for Milord, to fire!!!” However Cao Cao just gritted his tooth, for he knew that shooting the rest of them will resulted in friendly fire Yuan Shao just s to do in a predica,their shi+ps and since each row only numbered 3,000 soldiers, they all fall in face of sheer nu for us!!!” Asked Cao areant impatiently and finally, he had it and pulled out his sword and kill one of Yuan Shao’s sergeant and said “Brothers, rush with me For our lord, for Xu Du, for our families!!!” However the enemy are too many and soon he fall as well, stabbed with three swords from his back
The arrows struck The corpse crashed in the Yellow River
“Shoots, Fire the arrows!”Cao Cao the hand pinched to be in a cold sweat cah to like eneral situation, can go on living for other people, for these in Xu your faeostatic pressure tooth al the cry shouted
“Puts the arrow!”The eighth row, under the respective captain’s direction, projected two groups of arrow rain not to aim directly, because now the opposite is a battleshi+p, was their Cao Jun own battleshi+p, ay from quite near does not need to aim Finally Cao Cao steeled hiive me!!!
