Chapter 253 – Roasting Little Chicken (2)
“HOW CAN THIS BE!!!” Pang Tong shouted as another arrow pierced through, burning his mat and subsequently his castle, creating a big hole which distanced around 3 cm from his d.i.c.k and the s.h.i.+p started to sink. Pang Tong right now is really afraid.
Guan Yu then said “Military Adviser Pang, we should abandon s.h.i.+p!!!” Guan Yu really did not predict that the ballistae would reach their location. Earlier they just want to watch Liu Mang army reviling them nonstop while trolling them, because of that, now they are in grave danger. Pang Tong then shook his head and said “No, we cannot abandon our s.h.i.+ps. If we abandon our s.h.i.+ps, all that we worked until now would be for naught!!!” Pang Tong then thought This is an unexpected fiasco to my ploy. Now everyone will laugh at me. Pang Tong then calm himself down and ordered “All s.h.i.+ps, extinguish all torchs!!!” This man is truly worthy as one of the greatest strategists with his calmness and decisiveness.
“Yes, sir!!!” Two scouts quickly hurried and pa.s.sed the message. Almost immediately, all of wars.h.i.+ps extinguish their torch. The first salvo shot by Liu Mang, is only a test fire, to check their distance. Therefore after 3 shots made by each ballistaes, they did not shoot anymore instead Liu Mang just calculating their distances and etc with his telescope and luckily, those three shots found their prey each. Three s.h.i.+ps sank altogether with Guan Yu’s flags.h.i.+p among those which sank.
However, as the weather is very bad with fog everywhere, they had no choice but to let the torch stay lit of two of lead wars.h.i.+ps in order to escape the a.s.sault, otherwise, they will not know the direction of their retreat. Pang Tong had changed s.h.i.+p with Guan Yu’s help. Then he ordered to abandon those 3 sinking wars.h.i.+ps in order not to drag them down and ordered them to speed up.
“Yes, sir!!!” Liu Mang then muttered “So, extinguis.h.i.+ng your torch in order to escape eh?! Good thinking, but how long can you last?” That is because when he viewed with his telescope, one by one of torches disappeared, leaving only two s.h.i.+ps in front which Liu Mang guessed as their flags.h.i.+p.
Xu Sheng and w.a.n.g Wei the reported to Liu Mang “Milord, all ballistae is loaded!!!” Xu Sheng and w.a.n.g Wei cannot wait to unleash their anger from being trolled by Pang Tong. When they saw the first salvo hit their targets, they quickly filled smeared all arrowheads with crude wildfire and fill the cartridge with them. Liu Mang then bellowed his order “All ballistae, shoot those those still-lit sinking wars.h.i.+ps with non-lit ammo, don’t forget to tie a small barrel of wildfire on each arrow!!!” Xu Sheng and w.a.n.g Wei stunned and said “Non-lit ammo, Milord? Why? Won’t fire arrows will be more effective, we can send them burning again and again!!!” Liu Mang then just smiled and said toward those three “Worry not, with this method, there is no way they will escape!!!” When Zhao Yun saw that confident smile, he just said “Generals, let us do as our lord said. Yun only saw extreme confidence in his eyes, and Yun sure, they will be crushed as he had hoped!!” With that words, Xu Sheng, w.a.n.g Wei and Zhao Yun quickly do as Liu Mang instructed.
[TN: Paragraph of bulls.h.i.+t again, bear with it, ok?] {Among those three, Zhao Yun is the best in archery as he is experienced in mounted archery during his days in Gongsun Zan’s White Riders with w.a.n.g Wei the second and Xu Sheng the last.} [TN: End of bulls.h.i.+t] Right now, they held a contest to a.s.sess their prowess, they are all shooting those s.h.i.+ps with the target being the scarecrows from those sinking s.h.i.+ps with the sight a.s.sisted by a spotter using a telescope each. The result is Zhao Yun can hit 10 out of 10 targets, while w.a.n.g Wei can hit 9 out of 10 s.h.i.+ps, Xu Sheng can only hit 8 out of 10 targets and all of them are done from ballistae now. Hoping that the flame from the s.h.i.+p, will help to ignite those arrow-attached wildfire barrel.
On Guan Yu’s flags.h.i.+p. What the h.e.l.l is Liu Mang’s army doing?! They shot too many!!! Guan Yu is pondering. They had yet to remove the chain-link from three sinking wars.h.i.+ps, causing Guan Yu to sneer Are they trying to sink us with weight? How stupid and trite!!!
Pang Tong then said to Guan Yu “General Guan, something is not right!!!” Pang Tong had been underestimating Liu Mang big time. A big mistake that almost cost him his life and his genital. Right now, he is thinking a lot, thinking what is Liu Mang going to do. I know there is something wrong with this, but what, WHAT? Thought Pang Tong. Pang Tong admit that he is very smart, but he cannot fathom Liu Mang.
Finally the second salvo arrived at the destination, the sinking wars.h.i.+ps. This time, it is no fire arrows but arrow that is attached with a barrel of viscous liquid. What the h.e.l.l is that? Thought Guan Yu. He can see something leaking out of it and saw some arrows had not yet to reach the target, already pouring out the substance.
