...
Lu Zhengfeng was thrown back ashore. The imperial navy men were like quails; no one dared to shout at the Northwest Army navy. They quickly carried Lu Zhengfeng away, and no one dared to show their faces again.
For the imperial navy, the dark cannons pointed at them from the Northwest Fleet warships were like a knife hanging over their heads, ready to fall at any moment, making them too scared to even breathe.
"How can you be so spineless?!" Lu Zhengfeng was so angry he almost vomited blood, pointing at the navy and cursing.
