Oda Nobunaga and Uesugi Kenshin saw that Takeda Shingen's method was effective, and they also followed suit.

After Yi Sun-shin saw that the Japanese warships were scattered, his rocket tactics were greatly reduced, so he mobilized all the crossbowmen under his command to focus fire on the approaching Japanese warships.

[Ding dong, Yi Sun-shin’s skill ‘Turtle Ship’ is activated;

Turtle Ship: Yi Sun-shin's unique skill.

Effect 1: Commander 2 when leading the naval forces in offensive wars, Commander 3 when leading the naval forces in defensive wars;

Effect 2: Resist Japanese pirates, commander in chief 2 when fighting against Japanese pirates.

Effect 3: When participating in the battle in person, your own force is 2;】

[Ding dong, Yi Sun-shin's skill "Turtle Ship" has effects 1 and 2 activated one after another. He is currently leading the navy to fight a defensive battle, with a commander of 3. When fighting against Japanese pirates, he will have a commander of 2 again.

Yi Sun-shin: Commander 95, Force 82 (2), Intelligence 82, Politics 68, Charisma 95;

The current commander-in-chief of Yi Sun-shin has increased to 100;】

At this point, the commanders of the three divisions of the Great Qin Navy, including Yi Sun-shin, who had the lowest command, all reached 100 points.

On the other hand, on the Japanese side, Oda Nobunaga was the only one who had more than a hundred commanders, while neither Uesugi Kenshin nor Takeda Shingen had water warfare skills.

Under Yi Sun-shin's concentrated fire tactics, approaching warships were set on fire one after another, causing heavy losses to Takeda Shingen's troops.

Just when Takeda Shingen was hesitating whether to continue the attack, Oda Nobunaga ordered that the Qin army should be brought into range at any cost.

As soon as Oda Nobunaga issued this order, the Japanese navy went completely crazy and began to approach the Qin army at all costs, even if they were set on fire by rockets.

Seeing this, Zhou Yu still had no intention of entangled with the Japanese army, and ordered the naval forces to retreat while using their range advantage to fight back.

However, due to the large scale of the fleet, the speed advantage could not be fully utilized when retreating and fighting at the same time. This also brought the Qin army into the firing range of the Japanese army, and the fleets of both sides began to shoot at each other.

Soon the Japanese army fell into a disadvantage. After all, the number of crossbows on both sides was not at the same level, and the Qin army's crossbows were also more advanced.

However, Oda Nobunaga never wanted to win with crossbows from the beginning. His real purpose was always close combat.
