How does this happen?

Because, assuming what historical records we do have are even close to accurate, just because you have a hundred thousand men, doesn't mean you have a hundred thousand men on hand.

This is a siege force trying to surround a castle in the middle of some nasty terrain, when most of the bridges and lines of communication are in control of the other side, it's not all that easy to get everyone where you need them.

Small force sneaks out of the sieged fortress, reaches the enemy command centre undetected, raids it and almost kills the enemy general, who is forced to flee. Whole army forced to move away to secure the general's safety. Stupid on sun Quan's part to lead the army himself, putting the "king" on the frontlines is only worth it when he's a military genius, whereas he was more the political/diplomatic type.

Well the Wu history agrees with the Wei history about this battle. Why would they record themselves getting absolutely rekt if it wasn't true?

I hate this english shit

You're already Romanizing the spelling, why the crap don't you faggots just spell it phonetically?

Do you just want to chime in and say, "well ya know, that's not how you actually say it"?

Race of assholes, I swear.

I like Cao Cao.
It sounds like a kind of biscuit.

>>1685001
No he wasn't. Zhang Liao was the commanding officer at Hefei.

>>1685115
