Chapter 578: The Wind and the Sun...
The commander of the Yuan army hurriedly walked into the building, even if he asked his soldiers to close all the doors and windows in the building, but in some small doors, there were still strong winds infiltrating in, and when the wind passed through the narrow doors, there was a strange whistling sound.

"It was too windy, and it was raining heavily." A soldier walked in and said.
"What the hell is this weather?" The commander of the Yuan army cursed very annoyedly, "The weather was quite normal just now." ā
"Could it be ......" The deputy commander of the Yuan Army's navy said with some concern, and he thought of what the two generals said before, could it be that what they said before was true?
"What are you afraid of! It's just some wind and rain, and our huge fleet, will it still be deterred by this small wind and rain?
"Okay." The deputy commander of the Yuan Army lowered his head and whispered: "I hope so." ā
"Keep going!" Although he realized that something was wrong with the situation around him, the commander of Yuan's navy gave himself a plausible explanation and continued to order his troops and navy to advance.
However, the entire fleet was only a few hundred meters away, and the commander of the Yuan army suddenly heard the surprised shouts and panicked movements of the soldiers outside the shipbuilding.
"The big wave is coming!" "Let's get in!" "Hide them all! Don't stand on the deck anymore, danger! ā
Before the commander of the Yuan army and the navy could ask what was going on outside, he heard a monstrous sound of water, and then he felt a violent shaking under his feet.
Accompanied by a violent shaking sound, there was an extremely loud cracking figure of the hull and planks, and in such a violent shaking, Yuan Jun's flagship seemed to have suffered a lot of damage.
"Lord Commander, are you alright?" When the shaking gradually stopped, several guards around Yuan Junshui hurriedly helped him up.
"What the hell is going on out there? What happened? The commander of the Yuan army stood up with the help of the guards and asked.
"Lord Commander, just now there was a huge wave on the surface of the river, several meters high, which almost knocked our flagship over." A guard who had just returned from outside said with a sigh of relief.
"Nonsense!" The commander of the Yuan army blushed and said: "This is a huge wave a few meters high in the middle of the river, isn't that kind of huge wave only encountered in the big lake and the ocean?" ā
"However, we have all seen with our own eyes just now, and such a big wave has suddenly set off on the river." The guard muttered.
"Take me out and have a look." The commander of Yuan's navy waited for the ship to regain stability, and came to the deck of the ship, and at a glance, there was a mess and water stains everywhere, obviously the traces left after a great storm and waves.
But now, the whole river suddenly returned to calm, as if nothing had happened just now.
The only traces left by the storm just now were the many Yuan Jun naval vessels on the surface of the water that were damaged to varying degrees.
Under the huge wind and waves just now, the entire Yuan army was almost scattered, all the small ships and warships were seriously injured and damaged, some had been washed into a primitive plank state, and some of the Yuan army sailors who fell into the water shouted, desperately swimming to the surviving warships around.
Only those medium and large ships did not suffer much damage after the storm and waves, but they also showed varying degrees of hull damage.
Only then did the commander of the Yuan army believe the words of the guards just now, if it weren't for the big waves as he just said, he really couldn't think of anything that could cause such great damage to his entire fleet.
"It seems that what those two generals said may be true. Otherwise, how could such a big wave hang on the surface of this river? The deputy commander was obviously frightened, and raised the torch in his hand, and his face was very pale in the black mist.
"Don't panic just yet." The commander of Yuan's navy calmed himself down and said, "Now order the troops to stop and count the losses of the fleet." ā
"Okay, okay." Hearing that the commander was finally willing to let the fleet stop, Deputy Commander Yuan Jun breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly ordered according to his words.
Soon, the loss information was counted, after this big storm and waves, most of the small fighting ships of the entire fleet were overturned or shattered, losing their combat effectiveness, and the other Hazy Chong and Lou ships, because of the use of a large number of iron parts and protection, the ability to resist the attack was far greater than that of the fighting ships, so there was only some damage, and there were no large losses.
Overall, the serious consequence of this storm was that at least their entire fleet lost more than one-fifth of its combat effectiveness.
"This place is definitely not simple. Let's take a detour. After the deputy commander learned of this result, he hurriedly took the opportunity to persuade him.
The commander of the Yuan army looked at the surrounding fog, and it was very strange that after their entire fleet stopped, the original howling winds and huge waves were all gone, and the water surface had always been calm, but there was still a thick black mist in the air.
This kind of strange thing made the commander of the Yuan army and the navy have to believe all kinds of magical claims about this water.
"Let's get out of here." In the end, after much thought, the commander of Yuan's naval army finally stopped insisting on advancing and led his troops to leave this body of water from the north.
What is surprising is that the Yuan army's naval fleet had just left this water, and the black fog in the sky suddenly disappeared, and the fierce sunlight shone down, making the entire Yuan army fleet can't help but close their eyes and protect their eyes with their hands.
After they got used to the sunshine, they saw that the water was already white, surrounded by quiet mountains and forests, the river under their feet was clear, and the sun was in the middle of the day.
It turned out that it was already noon at this time, and the fog did not know when it had completely dissipated, and the whole Yangzhou had returned to Qingming.
What makes people unbelievable is that less than an hour ago, the entire fleet of Yuan Jun's navy was still in a stormy, windy and wavery, and pitch-black environment.
All of this is incomprehensible, but it is indeed what they have just experienced, and everything is like an extremely real dream.
