New Yu Era, Year 1333, June 7th
Lincang Path, north bank of the Yunlan Ancient River, over a hundred Tianshu-class warships were lined up majestically on the water. More than half had already turned their bows southward, while the smaller half were queuing along the shore, docking one by one onto the wharf pontoon.
On the wharf, thousands of soldiers awaited eagerly. They were divided into orderly military formations, each consisting of around forty to fifty thousand men, stretching over ten li. As all soldiers were clad in crimson armor, from afar, they resembled a surging red tide.
If seen from the air looking down, it would become apparent that this crimson tide stretched north to south across the land for at least several hundred li, spanning east to west, encircling the entire riverbank, with a width of a hundred li.
