Without Gonggong's obstruction, the metal ships were rushing towards the opposite bank at a very fast speed.
So fast that even Tier Four can't compare, and Empress is responsible for controlling the river.
Though she couldn't change the direction of the river's flow, she could alter the flow rate, making it slower and allowing the ships to travel more smoothly.
Now, Gong Xun, who had taken command, saw the crossbow soldiers at the front suffering heavy casualties, while continuous beams of light were coming from the rear.
He immediately ordered, "Everyone retreat, stay away from the bombing range of that special weapon!"
The Ten Thousand Men Commander beside him reminded, "But if we do this, they will land!
And they'll establish a base, which will be hard to attack later!"
This great river is a natural barrier. Once occupied by the Jiuli, they can attack when advancing and defend when retreating.
"Then do you have any other solutions?"
