The warships anchored on the Black River had realized that they were powerless against the artillery on the distant hills, yet that artillery could destroy them at any moment.
Jiang Xiaobai thought that at this stage of the battle, Prince Pingxi's naval fleet should have sounded the retreat. Unexpectedly, they not only stayed but also changed their tactics.
The few remaining warships on the Black River began to move. Thanks to their smaller size, they had the ability to maneuver even in the narrow riverway.
Previously, the artillery on the hills targeted the stationary warships, but now, faced with constantly moving targets, their accuracy was lost, and the shells missed, falling into the river.
The remaining warships abandoned attacking the artillery on the hills and instead focused all their firepower on the military camp, only needing to ensure they weren't hit by artillery fire themselves.
