Su Yuan looked at his former brother standing in front of him, his face regaining its former heroic spirit, a cold and aloof smile, as if everything was just dust in front of him.

The old subordinates below were so excited that their eyes turned red. They never thought they would have to follow the general again. This time, they were determined to make everyone regret it.

"Follow me into battle!"

Because there were spies around, Su Yuan didn't say much, but those three simple words were enough to drive the soldiers below crazy.

. . . . . . .

Dalong Military Camp.

"Gentlemen, our progress has fallen far short of expectations. Now that we have the support of artillery, I have decided to split up and speed up our advance."

"promise."

The Great Dragon Army initially advanced in three columns, then merged into one force, and now it has split its forces again. They thought they could easily defeat a mere Gao Li, but unexpectedly, the Great Dragon Empire suffered a setback.

If it weren't for Zhou Wu's timely arrival of artillery, Gu Changqing probably wouldn't have been able to find a better way to deal with Gao Li's tortoise-shell-like city.

A total of twenty cannons were deployed. The left and right vanguards each took five cannons, while the remaining ten were left to Gu Changqing's main force.

With the support of artillery, the three armies marched side by side and advanced smoothly. However, unexpected events often occur even when there are no unexpected events.

Xiao Mei, um, Lu Da was attacked by Gao Lijun during his journey and suffered heavy losses, even losing two cannons. By the time this news reached Gu Changqing's ears, Gao Lijun had already disappeared without a trace.

"What? Two cannons have been lost?"

Personnel casualties were secondary at this point; the loss of the cannon enraged Gu Changqing. If such a divine weapon fell into Gao Li's hands and was copied, wouldn't the Great Dragon Empire's city walls become useless?

Gu Changqing suddenly remembered something and immediately called the guards outside the door in.

"Go quickly and summon the Duke of Lu back."

"Yes."

"I hope it's not too late."

Lu Da was impatient, and they all knew the importance of cannons. Losing two cannons from their hands was a huge humiliation for Lu Da, and given his temperament, he would definitely not let it go.

Gu Changqing was afraid that Lu Da would act rashly and fall into the other party's trap, so he quickly sent someone to call him back. However, the news came back very soon.

"The Duke of Lu led his men to pursue those ambush troops."

"Hey~~~"

As expected, it was too late; the thing Gu Changqing feared most had happened.

Lu Da is now leading over ten thousand men to pursue the so-called ambush, and Gu Changqing is unable to deal with it, so he can only pray that Lu Da will have good fortune.

. . . . . .

"Haha, as expected, it's the adults who really made that arrogant dragon man suffer a great loss as soon as they took action."

The one who ambushed Lu Da was none other than Su Yuan, who had been released to clean up the mess. However, he did not expect that his attack would not only successfully ambush Lu Da and cause considerable casualties, but also seize two cannons in the chaos.

At this moment, Su Yuan was looking with great interest at the thing that was keeping Gao Liwang awake at night.

"This is cannon? Who would have thought that this thing could so easily destroy such a sturdy city wall? Is there really nothing in the world that can withstand it?"

The clever Su Yuan did not report the matter of the cannons to his superiors, but secretly hid them. He knew that the Prime Minister and Prince Gaoli would not let him off as they had promised.

Su Yuan knew them too well, but he was just playing along. Having been fooled before, how could he fall for it again? He was just trying to lull the higher-ups into a false sense of security. He was already planning to leave Gaoli Kingdom, but he still needed to make some preparations, such as securing his lover and enough money to make a comeback.

As for these two cannons, they were a complete surprise. With these two cannons, once we stabilized, we were able to replicate them.

Royal Palace of Gorly.

"Hahaha, a mere dragon, let them know that we Gaoli are not to be trifled with."

Gao Liwang held up a wine glass and drank it all in one gulp. At this moment, there was no trace of his previous dejected look.

News of Su Yuan's great victory over the Great Dragon reached the capital city that very day (the country was simply too small, there was nothing that could be done). King Gaoli immediately sent people everywhere to spread the news and even held a banquet in the palace to lavish praise on the prime minister.

In the deep palace.

A palace maid was walking briskly towards the inner palace.

"is there any news?"

The speaker was dressed as a noblewoman and was indeed quite beautiful. This person was Su Yuan's lover, Princess Jin. However, although she was a princess, she was not the current Princess of Gaoli, but the former Princess of Gaoli.

"Your Majesty, I have heard the news. General Su has won a great victory, and His Majesty is currently hosting a banquet for the civil and military officials."

The palace maid was an old woman whom Princess Jin had brought from her home. She and Princess Jin were like sisters, and Princess Jin had no secrets from her. So, as soon as she learned that Su Yuan had been released, she kept asking around the palace about Su Yuan's whereabouts, just to make her heroine happy.

"Really? Have you seen anyone else?"

Upon hearing the news about her lover, Princess Jin's melancholy face immediately showed emotion, and she quickly asked.

"Your Majesty, General Su is still fighting abroad and has not yet returned to the palace."

"It's good that he didn't come back, as long as he's alive."

Princess Jin seemed to remember something, her red makeup already covered in tears.

"Your Majesty, now that the General has regained his freedom, you must live a good life so that you can wait for the day he comes to take you away."

"He's coming to pick me up? Will that day ever come?"

. . . . . .

Su Yuan had two cannons secretly transported to a hidden place and then led his men to wander around aimlessly, avoiding direct confrontation with the Great Dragon Army and mostly using sneak attacks. They also did not stay in one place for long.

Although I don't understand what kind of tactic this is, it does seem to have slowed down the dragon's offensive so far.

"General, aren't we being too obvious?"

Dong Hu was Su Yuan's most loyal subordinate, and he was currently escorting the money looted from the cities of Gaoli Kingdom.

"Donghu, my time is running out, and I have no choice but to resort to drastic measures. Do you still have any attachment to this country?"

Wherever Su Yuan went, he would have his men plunder the city under the guise of fighting the enemy. Every city was thoroughly looted, which is why Su Yuan and his men were constantly on the move.

As for whether or not to launch a surprise attack on the Great Dragon Army, it was just for show. Su Yuan was unwilling to sacrifice his own armed forces in vain; he still needed this army to make a comeback.

"This country is rotten to the core, there is nothing for me to miss."

Donghu is an orphan, but not from childhood. He used to have parents and an older sister. However, just like in the TV series, his sister was taken as a concubine by a rich man, but she committed suicide that very day. To his surprise, the man not only showed no remorse or offered any compensation, but also demanded compensation for his emotional distress.

Thus began the story of someone taking over a farmhouse, and when the parents couldn't reason with him, he was so angry that he died of anger as he accepted the property.
