At the border between Wu and Yue, millions of troops faced each other, and unrecognizable corpses could be seen floating in the river from time to time.
A few days ago, Wu State launched a surprise attack on Yue State with a million elite soldiers, but they were ambushed by Yue State and fled, with less than half of the million elite soldiers escaping.
After that, Wu and Yue confronted each other along the boundary river, launching attacks from time to time, with casualties on both sides. In particular, the munitions and gunpowder formula left by the Shang Kingdom last time caused huge casualties on both sides.
Cultivators would be exhausted and the cost of talismans was high; but gunpowder did not have these problems at all! Moreover, ordinary people could participate in the production of gunpowder, artillery shells, and ordinary homemade artillery.
In just a few days, the war changed. The artillery of both sides increased rapidly, and the scenes of direct combat between cultivators were rapidly decreasing.
As more and more artillery pieces were available, the requirements for the skills and experience of the soldiers participating in the battle began to decrease, so the number of people increased. The final result was that the death toll became increasingly heavy.
At some point, a faint evil aura had already rolled over the two countries of Wu and Yue. This evil aura was not the same as the last time, but contained a faint breath of catastrophe!
Dongfang Hai, the naval general of Wu State, was looking far to the east at this time. According to the information received before, the fleet that Wu State purchased from the Shang Kingdom should have returned this morning.
"A 10,000-ton warship and three 5,000-ton frigates! I'm excited just thinking about it."
"As long as these four warships return, it will be enough for Wu to reverse the disadvantage and even counterattack Yue!"
Dongfang Hai had countless thoughts in his mind, and he had an almost uncontrollable expectation in his heart. This morning, Dongfang Hai ordered the generals at all levels to defend along the river, and he led a small number of elite soldiers to wait at the seaside.
This is a bit risky, but... worth it!
Suddenly, a floating light flashed on the surface of the eastern sea; Dongfang Hai's heart moved, and he looked carefully, and saw that it was a fleet coming from afar.
"Here we go!" Dongfang Hai flew up immediately, not caring about any danger. The ships sailed relatively slowly, and after more than two hours, the fleet finally approached the mouth of the river.
"Marshal!" Dongfang Hai shouted excitedly from a distance. Seeing four warships that belonged to him in person really made Dongfang Hai excited. The four warships seemed like a steel imperial city on the sea, splitting the waves and rushing into the river.
Wu Daqian flew over and was stunned when he saw that there were only a few people from Dongfang Hai. "Just these few people? Quick, send more people to protect the warship first."
What? Dongfang Hai was stunned. I was counting on the warship to turn the disadvantage around. I didn't expect that after the warship docked, soldiers would be needed to protect it
The gap should not be too big!
"What are you still standing there for!" Wu Daqian said anxiously, "There are only more than 30 of us on the warship. It's already good enough that we can drive the warship back. You still want a war!"
The Eastern Sea Monster let out a cry and immediately flew back to the rear area, urgently mobilizing some masters above the Jindan stage to come and defend.
But it was already a little late. The Yue army had already arrived and was ready to launch an attack.
A general from Yue flew out, "Listen to the merchant ships behind you, no matter where you come from or what you are here for, withdraw from the battlefield immediately and wait on the ocean until the war is over. Otherwise, the war will be ruthless!"
