"General, Zhou Wu's navy has arrived in the waters off Fusang. What should we do next?"

Dong Hu was giving Su Yuan a private report on the current battle situation.

Su Yuan purchased many muskets, warships, and even cannons from the mysterious forces.

With the support of this equipment, Su Yuan's army was several levels ahead of the other Fusang nobles, and they practically swept through the enemy lines unimpeded.

It wasn't until they encountered Kenshiro's army that they met some serious resistance. The enemy had somehow acquired muskets, and for a time, the two sides fought back and forth.

Fortunately, the warships and cannons that Su Yuan had purchased also arrived. With the warships launching a surprise attack from the sea, and the cannons advancing from the shore, Kenjiro quickly fell into a disadvantageous position.

Kenshiro can be said to be Su Yuan's most difficult enemy to deal with in Japan, and also the person he fears the most.

Just as Su Yuan was preparing to press his advantage, he received news that Kenjiro had requested support from the Great Dragon Navy.

This news caused an uproar throughout Japan. In Japan's eyes, the Great Dragon Empire was a superior nation. No wonder Kenjiro, the son of a fisherman, could develop so rapidly. Now everything makes sense.

However, many people did not believe it. After all, what was Kenshiro's identity, and why would the Great Dragon Empire support him? But when they saw the majestic Great Dragon Navy fleet on the sea, all the doubts disappeared.

Neutral nobles flocked to Kenshiro, expressing their willingness to form an alliance. Those nobles who had already pledged allegiance to Su Yuan also began to stir, believing that they would surely defect given the right opportunity.

How many ships does the other side have?

Su Yuan was furious to see the duck that was about to be eaten fly away, but he knew that anger would not solve anything, so he suppressed his anger.

"The enemy's naval fleet consists of twelve Bull Demon King-class warships."

"Twelve ships..."

Upon hearing Dong Hu's report, Su Yuan squinted, seemingly deep in thought.

After a long while, Su Yuan opened his eyes again, as if he had made some kind of decision.

"Donghu, how many ships do we have? I mean all of them."

Having followed Su Yuan for so many years, Dong Hu immediately understood that Su Yuan was preparing to fight the other party head-on, and so he said seriously.

"General, we have a total of eight Raven-class warships and more than sixty ships below the Raven-class. However, General, apart from the Raven-class which can barely contend with the Bull Demon King, the other ships are too small and probably not very useful."

"Large ships should carry more cannons, and small ships should carry fewer cannons. I believe in the principle that many ants can kill an elephant."

Normally, Su Yuan would never have taken such a risky move, but now he had no choice. This was almost all of his wealth; it was a matter of life and death.

"Yes."

Donghu turned around and went to arrange the assembly of warships.

"Could it be that Zhou Wu knows it was me?"

Su Yuan knew that Da Long's support was mostly due to Zhou Wu's interference. He also recalled that when he was fighting Gao Li, he was defeated by Zhou Wu. He didn't expect that even after he ran to Fusang, Zhou Wu would still haunt him.

. . . . .

Faced with the Dragon Navy, everyone else avoided them like the plague, but Su Yuan was secretly gathering his capable warriors and ships, seemingly preparing for a decisive battle.

"Chief, our scouts report that Su Yuan is looting ships everywhere. We don't know why."

"Robbing ships? Does he think he can compete with the Great Dragon Navy?"

Kenjiro was now somewhat impressed by the other party's courage. If it were him, he would have backed down and waited for an opportunity, but this Gao Li had the courage to face him head-on.

"Sir, should we inform Lord Zhou?"

"No need."

Kenjiro thought for only a moment before rejecting his subordinate's suggestion. Although his subordinate was somewhat surprised, he did not say anything, after all, his leader must have his own reasons.

In fact, Kenshiro also had his own selfish motives. The power of the Great Dragon is something that no other force can match at present.

Su Yuan and Da Long went head-to-head, and regardless of who wins or loses in the end, it's good news for Kenshiro.

He is no longer the greenhorn he once was. After countless battles, he has matured considerably and now considers every decision more carefully.

"How's the artillery that Da Long bought doing now?"

"The first batch of artillery has landed and is currently being deployed to the front lines."

"Alright, pass down the order: when Su Yuan starts his battle with the Great Dragon at sea, we will launch an attack from land."

"Yes."

Zhou Wu, Kenjiro, and Su Yuan, the three largest forces, are all poised to attack. Even the people of Fusang have noticed that a great war is imminent.

. . . . . . .

Su Yuan's forces, having assembled over a hundred ships of various sizes, headed straight for Zhou Wu's navy, led by eight Raven-class ships.

Because Zhou Wu had no spies in Fusang, he didn't discover the enemy ships until they were visible to the naked eye.

"Prepare to meet the enemy."

Madam Lin immediately gave the order, and all the sailors began to get to work.

When the total number of ships in the region was revealed, everyone in the navy was shocked.

Strangely, the enemy had entered the artillery range but did not fire.

Lady Lin immediately guessed that the enemy's artillery might not be able to fire as far as her own, and immediately ordered the artillery to fire.

"Starboard gun ready, fire."

The entire fleet unleashed over a hundred deafening shots. Such dense firing dealt a heavy blow to the enemy, with some small ships even being torn to pieces on the spot.

Even under these circumstances, the enemy did not scatter and flee, but instead accelerated their advance, because they knew that their artillery range was not as long as that of the dragon, so they could only counterattack after quickly getting close.

Although the navy's artillery had a longer range than the enemy's, manual loading resulted in a slower rate of fire, a problem present on both sides.

Then came another salvo. Although it caused great damage to the enemy, it still failed to stop their advance. Moreover, the enemy was getting closer and closer, and it was clear to the naked eye that they were adjusting the angle of their artillery fire.

"Boom~~~~"

The enemy retaliated. Although the cannon fire could not match the density of the navy's attacks, it still hit the navy ships squarely.

The attack on the naval vessel caused it to shake violently, making it difficult for Lin Niangzi to stand.

"The enemy has too many of them. If this continues, we'll definitely be surrounded. Send the order to adopt the kite tactic."

"Yes."

The kite tactic was taught to the navy by Zhou Wu. It involves using artillery for long-range attacks while maintaining a safe distance from the enemy, so that you can hit the enemy but they cannot hit you.

"They're trying to escape? Brothers, after them!"

When Su Yuan saw that the Great Dragon Navy was actually retreating, he thought that the other side was going to escape and immediately became excited.

That's the Great Dragon Navy! I actually defeated the Great Dragon Navy. I can brag about this for the rest of my life.
