"Woo woo woo…"
The wind howled.
Marquis Xuanwei Zhang Xin was startled, looking up at the merchant ship's flag hanging on the ship.
The wind blew from the northeast, making the flag point southwest.
"Heh heh heh heh… ha ha ha ha… ha ha ha ha! "
Zhang Xin looked up to the sky and let out a long cry.
"The wind has risen! "
"The wind has risen! "
Zhang Xins army's soldiers immediately burst into cheers.
"Wind! Strong wind! "
Boom ka—
Another clap of thunder echoed in the sky.
In an instant, a fierce wind blew, and the pouring rain fell.
However, no one cared.
The soldiers' cheers echoed amidst the strong wind and heavy rain, as if to overpower the might of the heavens.
"Guan Jian! "
Zhang Xin pulled Guan Jian over and asked loudly, "You tell me! With such a strong wind, can we reach Nangpi tomorrow?! "
"Yes, yes! "
Guan Jian said excitedly, "With such a strong wind, not to mention tomorrow, we can arrive tonight! "
The mouth of the Zhang River is in the northeastern part of Bohai Commandery.
Nangpi, on the other hand, is in the southwest direction.
For Zhang Xin to enter Bohai from the Zhang River, the best wind direction was precisely the northeast wind!
But the northeast wind generally only appeared in winter; it was currently summer, and the coastal areas basically had southeast winds.
Of course, southeast winds were not unusable, they just weren't as good as northeast winds.
"Lord is truly a divine being! "
At this moment, Guan Jian's heart was filled with both reverence and awe for Zhang Xin.
Previously, there wasn't a single gust of wind, but Zhang Xin pointed at the sky and cursed a few times, and not only did a strong wind rise, but it was also the northeast wind they needed most!
Even the heavens had to give Lord some face!
What else could this be if not a deity?
Zhang Xin heard Guan Jian's words and waved his hand.
"Hoist the sails, set sail! "
In fact, he didn't need to give the order; the navy's soldiers, seeing the wind rise, had already consciously pulled up the sails.
The fleet, which had been as slow as a turtle, instantly picked up speed.
Zhang Xin disregarded the heavy rain soaking him, standing on the deck and laughing heartily as he watched the scenery on both banks continuously receding.
"My Lord."
Dian Wei walked over, a smile also on his face, "The wind and rain are too strong, let's go into the cabin to take shelter."
Zhang Xin glanced at Dian Wei, snatched the biscuit from his hand, and, disregarding that the biscuit was already wet with rain, stuffed it into his mouth with the rainwater.
Previously, he had been in a bad mood, so he didn't feel anything.
Now that his mood had suddenly brightened, his stomach was truly a little hungry.
"Ha ha ha…"
Zhang Xin munched, "Give the order for the soldiers to all go into the cabin to shelter from the rain, lest they catch a cold. Later, they should eat well and prepare for battle! "
"Understood."
Dian Wei nodded and shouted loudly, "My Lord has an order! You all return to the cabin to shelter from the rain, lest you catch a cold. Later, eat well and prepare for battle! "
"Yes, sir! "
At this moment, the morale of Zhang Xins army was unprecedentedly high.
Heaven helps us, this battle is sure to be victorious!
Especially those Yellow Turban Old Guard, many of them continuously whispered, "The Great Virtuous Teacher has manifested, the Great Virtuous Teacher protects My Lord, the Azure Sky is dead, the Yellow Sky shall rise! "
Zhang Xin turned and walked into the cabin, and the surrounding soldiers all looked at him with fervent eyes.
Too divine!
Zhang Xin secretly exclaimed his good fortune.
He naturally knew that the current storm was not due to Zhang Jiao's manifestation or anything similar.
This place was by the sea, and the climate was changeable. Combined with the windless, muggy weather of the previous two days...
Zhang Xin estimated that he had probably encountered a typhoon.
The weather before a typhoon passed was muggy, rainless, clear, and hot.
And the wind direction after a typhoon passed could very easily change to a southeast or northeast wind.
He just happened to have a mental breakdown at the time the typhoon was passing.
Although typhoons mostly originated in the south, in summer, occasionally some typhoons would also move north, even affecting the area of Liaoning in later generations.
These were basic knowledge from high school geography textbooks.
However, he wouldn't idly go and popularize this knowledge to the soldiers.
In this era that advocated the Mandate of Heaven, such a coincidence could undoubtedly greatly enhance his prestige.
But...
Zhang Xin looked back at the sky.
Was it really a coincidence?
Zhang Xin's fleet, aided by the wind, quickly sailed south.
As time passed, some civilian houses and farmlands began to appear on both banks of the river.
The sky grew darker and darker, and the civilian houses and farmlands on both banks became denser and denser.
Thanks to the heavy rain brousonal guard looked anxious.
"Marquis Xuanwei Zhang Xin's army has already attacked the city, Nangpi has fallen! "
