The first one is definitely the scene where Zhuge Liang諸葛亮 trick Cao Cao曹操 into practically giving them 100,000 arrows with a fleet of about 20 small boats covered with hay and straw, as well as mounted with scarecrows. Cao Cao’s navy, led by Cai Mao and Zhang Yun, noticed the incoming enemy fleet and decided to engage the enemy but they did not dare to venture further into the battleground for fear of falling into an ambush, as there was a thick fog over the river. Cao Cao’s army fired arrows at Zhuge Liang’s fleet but the arrows were stuck in the hay and straw so Cao Cao’s navy lost more than a hundred thousand arrows to the enemy in that single “battle”. So clever.
The other one is the “bomb-making” scene, where Zhou Yu’s “assistant” Gan Xing inspected the bomb making session and was unsastified with the impact the bomb produced. He repeated requested for a bigger flame until it reaches: kaBOOM!
