We began shooting arrows towards the enemy boats. “Keep shooting!” he ordered. My hands shook — how many enemies were there? Finally, the fog lifted. The enemy boats were empty! There were only straw men on board. Then we heard someone shouting from the other side of the river, “Thank you for your arrows, Cao Cao.” We were both angry and surprised, but there was nothing we could do.
