Sima Yang and a group of quick-reacting soldiers jumped into the river early on; they were all cultivators who knew how to avoid the water.
They stayed in it for a long time, only daring to poke their heads out one after another after the explosions above subsided.
The crowd stared at the river's wooden debris in shock.
Someone shouted in terror, "General, it's all over, our thousand warships are completely destroyed."
Sima Yang's eyes flashed coldly as he cursed, "The Commandery Princess Mansion has rebelled, I must return to report to my father, and to the Imperial Court."
This navy had been painstakingly maintained by Sima Yang for many years.
Now, in one battle, it was utterly ruined, and they had no room for retaliation.
On the riverbank, a group of Prefecture Princess Mansion soldiers all pulled back the gun bolts, aiming the dark gun barrels at them.
