At 100 years old, he joined the army in place of his granddaughter, and became a national war god.

Wang Ben raised the flagpole and issued commands to the defensive positions on both sides of the ship. The direction the flag pointed was different from before, as if he wanted to withdraw the offensive that had been continuously launched before reopening it in another way.

At this moment, the sheet metal protective plates on both sides of the ship's hull are being lowered one by one.

The edge of the skid plate fits perfectly into the groove of the ship's side, forming an almost vertical barrier on the outside of the deck. The surface of the skid plate has a sheet metal shell, and underneath is a composite structure made of multiple layers of wood planks and iron strips stacked alternately.

The outer side of the hull has several square firing holes, which ensures that the overall strength of the hull is not reduced due to too many openings, while maintaining sufficient visibility and attack angles when boarding. The position of each firing hole has been precisely measured to maintain the same spacing.

"attack!"

At this point, the Dongyi warships had reached a suitable position and then launched an attack.

Then, one after another, fire barrels were thrown at the Great Qian Dragon Warship, coming with great force.

Unfortunately, the fire barrels hit the iron plate instead of the ship itself.

When the sailors on the Dongyi warships saw that protective barrier, they were filled with despair. They never expected that the Daqian warships would be able to achieve such defensive capabilities.

A warship, as hard as a copper wall and an iron wall, how can we fight it?

"How is this possible?" Murakami Heiji was stunned when he saw the defensive barrier. "How can a warship have such defensive capabilities and travel so fast on the sea? How is this possible?"

"When did the shipbuilding technology of the Great Qian Dynasty reach such an advanced level?"

Seeing that their attacks were ineffective, the soldiers' eyes were filled with despair. This guy was like a moving wall of iron, and they couldn't even get into the ship's interior. How could they possibly win?

A few happy and a few sad.

This scene delighted the soldiers of the Great Qian Dynasty at Zhenhai Pass.

Seeing the Dongyi navy suffer such a defeat filled them with immense excitement and joy. The frustration they had felt from being burned by the Dongyi warships was released at this moment.

"Hahaha! Brothers, look at those Eastern barbarian bastards, they're all dumbfounded now."

"Our Youlong warship is like a mountain, pressing down on them so they can't breathe."

Xu Cheng shouted loudly, constantly encouraging his brothers and letting them vent their anger. He also shouted out his own frustration.

"The mighty Great Qian Dragon Warship is truly awe-inspiring!"

"Old Su is invincible!"

"The Great Qian Navy is invincible!"

Seeing Xu Cheng's happy expression, Qin Hao couldn't help but chuckle and reminded him, "General Xu, you're getting on in years, take it easy, don't ruin your voice!"

These words made Xu Cheng burst into laughter.

"Haha, Brother Qin, you have no idea, the battles of Ninghai City and Zhenhai Pass were the two most enjoyable and satisfying battles I've ever fought in my life."

"That's why I'm happy!"

After he finished speaking, the soldiers of the Great Qian Dynasty behind him also shouted loudly.

With overwhelming momentum!

……

On the deck, Su Mu looked at the Eastern Barbarian warships and suddenly gave an order.

"Lord Wang, issue the order for the Youlong warships to accelerate and ram those Dongyi warships."

"Since it's a real battle, I need to see how tough the Youlong warship is, so that it won't be at a disadvantage when we actually collide with the warships in Dongyi."

Wang Ben laughed heartily and said, "Old Su, you can rest assured."

"Our Youlong warships are like an impregnable fortress. Even if the Dongyi warships wanted to engage us in a head-on confrontation, they would have no chance of winning."

With that, Wang Ben gave the order: "Youlong warships, advance at full speed and crush those Dongyi warships."

At this moment, Su Mu gave the order for the old-style warships following behind the Youlong warship to take action and attack the Dongyi warship together.

Once they get close, all the soldiers will attack and kill the Eastern Yi bandits.

Upon hearing this order, Chu Tianba, Ye Qingzhou, Wen Jiuyuan, and other brothers who came from the bandit background were extremely excited.

Because this kind of battle takes them to their most familiar and proficient territory, where they can unleash their fury.

Wen Jiuyuan raised his arm and shouted, "Brothers, Elder Su has given the order! We will attack together and engage in fierce combat as soon as we get close to the Eastern Barbarian warships!"

"This is our favorite kind of waterborne warfare, so we must fight hard and achieve great results."

"An army is raised for a thousand days, but used for only one."

"We need to make a good impression on Elder Su, understand?"

The soldiers shouted in unison, "Understood!"

Then, they stared intently at the Eastern Yi warships ahead, their eyes filled with a thirst for battle, each one like a beast that had been starving for a long time.

"Oh no, that big ship is heading straight for us!"

In the Dongyi formation, a soldier shouted loudly. Only then did they realize from their panic that the enormous vessel was rushing toward their warship at top speed.

That large ship was four or five times larger than their warships; if they were to collide, their warships would surely be crushed to pieces.

"Quickly, quickly, get out of that behemoth's path!"

One of the first mates shouted loudly at the helmsman.

On the other side, on the main warship, Murakami Heiji had already seen the Great Qian warship charging towards his main warship at an extremely high speed, and it wouldn't be long before they collided.

He was taken aback, his pupils contracting: "How is this possible? This ship is so big, yet it... how can it be so fast?"

"That's outrageous."

"Change course and quickly get away from this guy's flight path."

Murakami Heiji could no longer sit still; he knew he was doomed to defeat in this battle.

The enormous warship before him was simply too monstrous; it was a terrifying warship he had never seen before.

Its offensive firepower is fierce, its defensive capabilities are as solid as an impregnable fortress, and coupled with its lightning-fast speed, it has virtually no weaknesses.

Such warships were simply no match for the warships of the Eastern Barbarians.

"General, it's too late!" the lieutenant shouted, his face filled with fear, his eyes fixed on the enormous creature charging towards him, feeling death rapidly approaching him.

"General, abandon ship!"

At the lieutenant's command, preparations were made to abandon ship.

But Murakami Heiji knew that abandoning ship in the vast ocean would be certain death, so he had no choice but to take matters into his own hands and gamble.

So he went to the helm and took command himself.

As Wang Ben watched the Dongyi commander's warships shift course, a smirk appeared on his face. He said, "Trying to escape? No way!"

He then gave the order to adjust the ship's course slightly to the right, while raising the yoke like a sharp sword!

The moment that promontory appeared, the two boats were already very close.

Su Mu smiled and reminded him, "Your Highness, please stand firm."

Xiao Jingyu laughed and said, "Don't worry, Elder Su, I can handle it."

Just then, the ram of the Yulong warship collided head-on with the warship commanded by Murakami Heiji.

The horn, like a sharp sword, pierced into the hull of the warship!
