As time ticked by second by second, the naval warships of Shen Country indeed made their way into the landing zone. However, the trouble they caused for the naval transport fleet of Great Tang Group was not as much as imagined.
The three remaining Brunas-class ironclad warships were currently battling against three Ming Wheel Ships and fifteen sail warships, and were actually gaining the upper hand.
In front of them, the numerically superior fleet of Shen Country's navy was already enveloped in thick smoke and virtually incapacitated.
However, due to the sheer number of enemy ships, five sail warships managed to slip through the chaos and into the formation of several freelance wheel ships anchored near the shore.
These freelance wheel ships hadn't warmed up their boilers yet, so all they could do was sit there and take a beating—in fact, the landing fleet of Great Tang Group had never expected the enemy to break through their warship defense line and get so close.
