The daughter of the emperor is beautiful and holds the power over the world

Liang Junshan had his mouth gagged, his body tied up tightly, and locked in the cabin.

The entire navy started to set off, heading north to meet up with Boya's merchant ships.

At dusk, the setting sun shines on the sea, and the afterglow of the sunset is unique.

Si Yan gathered everyone for a meeting: "Tonight we will split into three groups and act in secret, striving to surprise and attack the enemy with unstoppable force."

Everyone nodded in agreement. A surprise attack was the best way. However, the enemy had many ships, and they were afraid that the enemy would be dispersed during the surprise attack, making it difficult to control them.

"The naval commander is Shi Tai." Si Yan looked at General Shi Tai who insisted on obeying orders despite being injured.

"I'm here." Shi Tai said respectfully.

"Lead the main force of the navy, 5,000 men, to the location of the enemy warships. Form a semicircle northwest of the enemy. Use archers and crossbowmen to gradually surround and kill the enemy."

"I obey your command." Shi Tai bowed.

Si Yan said slowly, "Because General Shi is injured, I will send someone to protect him. General Shi will just stay and take command."

"Thank you, General." Shi Tai looked at Si Yan with gratitude.

He thought that the general would not employ him again after the navy incident, but he did not expect that the general would still give him a chance to redeem himself.

Si Yan turned his gaze to the two people behind Shi Tai: "Generals Qi Fei and Kang An."

"Yes." They said in unison.

"The two generals will each lead 2,500 naval troops to attack from the northeast and southwest, primarily using archers and crossbowmen for long-range fire."

The navy's warships had not yet been equipped with cannons, so Si Yan only had some thunder bombs equipped and thrown out with catapults used in land sieges.

Because Gao Kingdom and Beimang Kingdom have joined forces, and the prince of Beimang Kingdom is Di Yulin who traveled through time and space and knows how to make thunderbolts, they have to be on guard.

"Yes." Qi Fei and Kang An said in unison.

"Ah Fan, take your warships and naval vessels and charge towards the enemy from the southeast, following the southeast wind. With the warships in the rear and the naval vessels in the front, use straw and kerosene to set the enemy ships on fire and burn the entire fleet."

"Yes." Ah Fan nodded with a smile.

"Remember, besides the sailors, there shouldn't be any extra people on board," Si Yan instructed. "Your mission is to use the fire to burn the enemy warships, not to engage in direct combat with them. Once the enemy warships are set on fire, immediately retreat to a safe distance."

"I understand." Ah Fan knew that these ships that rushed towards the enemy could not be saved.

After setting the enemy ships on fire, the sailors could swim away from the battlefield or return in a small boat.

Si Yan glanced around and said, "Everyone, take the fire on the enemy ship as a signal. When you see the enemy's command ship on fire, you will all act together and make the enemy surrounded on all sides, panicking and unable to escape."

Everyone's blood boiled. The enemy was surrounded by archers on three sides and was under fire from the wind. It was difficult for them to escape even if they had wings.

However, this operation had to be done in secret, which was a great test of their coordination and tacit understanding.

Shi Tai was silent for a moment, then asked, "The fire on the enemy ship was a signal. Does this mean the general has arranged for someone to infiltrate the enemy ship?"

"Yes." Si Yan smiled slightly and said to everyone, "Generals, please go and prepare first. We will set off immediately. I will arrange the rest."

"Yes." Everyone responded in unison and retreated.

Sice, Si Zhe, Zhen Jun, Pei Cuo and others stayed, and Si Yan looked at them.

"The remaining mission is now yours. Your two teams' mission is more important than the others, and that is to burn the enemy's command ship."

The merchant ship led by A Fan was to burn the enemy's warships, while Sice and his men needed to sneak into the enemy's command ship and destroy the enemy's headquarters.

Everyone listened solemnly as Si Yan said, "Si Ce and Si Zhe have already determined that the enemy's command ship is in the center. Therefore, you must cross the enemy's defense line, sneak close to the enemy's command ship, and set it and the several auxiliary ships surrounding it on fire with kerosene. Then, execute the main enemy commanders on board."

This means that they not only need to get close to command the warships, but also carry kerosene.

This is a rather difficult task that can only be accomplished by the soldiers in the special training camp.

"Yes." Everyone said in unison.

Si Yan asked A Fan to send several small boats, loaded with more than ten barrels of kerosene, to assist Sice and others in completing the task.

Taking advantage of the night, the army quietly set out towards the location of the enemy warships according to Si Yan's arrangements.

Si Yan was on A Fan's boat, watching everyone prepare kerosene and straw to set their boat on fire.

It was a stormy night at sea.

The southeast wind blew over with a wet and salty breath. Twenty thousand people from Beimang and Gao countries floated on the sea, guarding more than a thousand warships of various sizes.

The people of Beimang lived in the inland of the Central Plains and were not used to living on the sea. After only two or three days, they were already complaining.

The Gao people are better off. One of the 10,000 people guarding here is the Gao navy.

These more than a thousand ships are all the warships of Gao State. They are usually used to prevent pirates from looting.

Now, they have transformed into pirates, just to plunder the wealth of the world's richest merchant family, the Bo family, which is as rich as a country.

"Everyone, be alert at night. Those on night duty, keep a close eye on the area. Don't turn on the lights, and don't reveal your whereabouts."

The Gao navy commander at sea did not know that their whereabouts had already been exposed.

At this time, the navy of Daxuan had divided into several groups and was heading towards this side.

In the second half of the night, the wind on the sea became stronger and stronger. In the dark night, everyone on the boat fell into a deep sleep.

The soldiers on duty outside the ship were also drowsy due to the sea breeze.

Si Ce and Si Zhe, along with Zhen Jun and Pei Cuo, quietly approached the enemy warships in a small boat.

When they got closer, they all dived into the water. The kerosene was sealed in a wooden barrel and floated on the water, and they pulled it forward with a rope.

The command ship is at the center of the entire fleet, and Sice and his men have already made a clear investigation.

"I'll go to the command ship. You guys go to the auxiliary ships around here and take out the people on duty first. Be careful not to get exposed."

At this time, they had already lurked under the command ship, and the people on duty looked into the distance and did not notice them.

Sice used the moonlight to signal his comrades, who understood and automatically divided into several groups of four to five people each, swimming towards the surrounding auxiliary ships.

Si Yan was on A Fan's boat, looking at the sea in the distance in the night, quietly waiting for the fire to break out.

"Miss Si, do you want me to send someone to check it out?" Ah Fan thought Si Yan was worried about Sice and the others, so he couldn't help but ask.

"No, let your people prepare, we will take action soon."

Ah Fan: ...

There was no movement at sea, but the wind was quite strong.

"Yes." Ah Fan had just finished speaking when a flash of fire suddenly appeared in the distance, followed by a second, and a third...

"Prepare for fire attack!" Seeing the signal of fire on the enemy warship, Ah Fan gave the order excitedly.
