My Father in Law is Lu Bu - Chapter 5 - Shooting of Palm in Xiapi
Original by Bro Got a Gun, Translated by James
“Fucking hell! Seems like I will be dying here!” Liu Mang smiled wryly. He wiped the blood from his body. This blood was mostly from his enemies while some were from his new subordinates. Earlier, a guard that he did not even know the name of took a slash for him and was chopped in half through the waist.
The East Gate was broken through, the South Gate was also broken through. Only the West Gate and the North Gate are left standing.
With the two Gates being broken through, the Cao army troops started pouring into Xiapi. In the two hours, Liu Mang and his troops had only advanced a couple hundred meters. In this period of time, nearly a hundred of his troops was killed. Amongst them was one who he just recently appointed company commander. One of his leg was chopped off. Although he wasn't dead, but on the battlefield, he is not far from death.
This was only a couple hundred meters! If he managed to advance toward the inner city, how many of his three hundred troops would be left? Liu Mang’s felt that his body was already without strength. He does not know how many people he had killed so far.
Human lives in a troubled time are like grass. Liu Mang’s movement had already became mechanical - kill, kill again, change blade and kill, kill again.
“Sire, we cannot advance anymore!” Cheng Yu arrived next to Liu Mang after killing some enemies. He gasped and shouted. He also knew that the route they’re on was very difficult. However, he did not expect it to be like this. If they delay any longer, the incoming Cao troops will increase exponentially. In that time, before meeting Lu Bu, their whole battalion might be wiped out.
Liu Mang deflected an incoming spear with his blade and then killed a Cao soldier. He said “we must continue advancing regardless!” Liu Mang did not regret his stupid decision. He rarely gets moved by others. Lu Bu moved him and these three hundred soldiers also did.
“It’s only death. What, Cheng Yu are you afraid?!” Liu Mang satirized. “If you’re afraid of death then get lost!”
“Who says I’m afraid! The only thing I fear is my mother!” Cheng Yu also got angry. For him to be seen as being afraid of death, it was no less than an extraordinary humiliation!
This route was like a huge mountain, blocking Liu Mang and his troop’s advance. They had been delayed for another hour.
