Datang Library

This sentence moved everyone's hearts, yes, everyone is a general who has experienced many battles, how come they were frightened by the thunder and fire attack, and even forgot the idea of ​​turning around and fighting back?

"Okay, send a distant observation fleet to patrol, and once the enemy pursues again, send a message immediately.

Summon all the captains with general titles, let's study how to break Datang's tactics. "

Ariza's order restored the morale of many of the Japanese Navy's navy. Another day later, the patrolling ships in the distance brought back Master Xuanzang on the small boat. Ariza was overjoyed to hear the intention of Master Xuanzang.

"Master, we are hesitating how to defeat the enemy. Datang's long-range thunder and fire attacks are too sharp, and we can't get close at all. Even if we charge to the death, I am afraid that there will not be many ships that can get close by then, and we will be killed by Datang's big ships. Crushed.

Since the mage is here to help us, do you know if the mage has a good plan? "

Master Xuanzang frowned and said: "The poor monk observed on the warships of the Tang Dynasty. They used equipment such as catapults and bed crossbows to throw the thunderbolts on your ship. The poor monk did not know how to make the thunderbolts, but This operation requires extremely precise judgment by the shooter.

It is not impossible to crack it. For example, at night, when the sea is pitch black, if the general can take the fleet to fight against the Tang Dynasty at night and approach the opponent quietly with a small boat, he should be able to crack it. "

Ariza was suddenly enlightened when he heard this, "Haha, good idea, master is indeed a famous wise man in Tianzhu, thank you for your advice.

Come on, hurry up and prepare a thousand small boats. Tomorrow night, I will be ashamed. "

Xuanzang clasped his hands together and said, "Amitabha, the poor monk needs to see His Majesty Jieri King as soon as possible, and please send someone to send the poor monk there. The Tang Dynasty has already transformed into Shura. If we don't prepare early, our Tianzhu Buddhist kingdom may be in disaster. "

Chapter 9

The Datang navy fleet, which had won a big victory, just stayed on the sea, and Hou Junji ordered the whole army to celebrate the victory for one day.

At the banquet, the deputy general raised the wine jar and asked Hou Junji: "General, we have defeated the Tianzhu Navy this time, and we have demonstrated the prestige of our Tang Dynasty. Can we report victory to the court? According to what you said, the seventy rules Small boats can be worth reporting, but now there are [-] large and medium-sized fleets at a time.

The brothers are still waiting to receive their rewards. "

Hou Junji laughed and said, "That's right, rewards are awarded for meritorious service. With such a great contribution, our navy can finally gain a foothold in the DPRK. An order has been sent to the Sima in the army to write down the course of the battle in a document, and the fleet will go aboard. The radio station reported the victory directly to His Majesty."

But Sima in the army saluted and said: "General, the radio station on the ship can't directly transmit to Datang, and we are too far away from Lingnan, so we can't contact the imperial court at present."

"What? Does the radio station have to transit through Lingnan? The whole of Funan belongs to our Tang Dynasty. Could it be that there is no radio station here?" Hou Junji frowned.

"Not long after we conquered the land of Funan, the imperial court has not fully dispatched management officials in place, let alone laying down radio stations." Sima in the army wondered.

This is indeed the case. The power of radio stations in this period is not high, and the signal often starts to weaken after traveling a thousand miles. The limit is that two thousand miles need to strengthen the signal transfer facilities. It is true that the site has not yet been arranged. Although Southeast Asia is all included in the territory of the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty is extremely lacking in governance, civil and military, so it has not yet been fully controlled.

"Since this is the case, it is too inconvenient to send a fleet to guard the radio station and return to the direction of Lingnan. It is too inconvenient to contact the King of Yue and ask the King of Yue to repay his merits and set up the sea radio station. I will continue to land north to destroy the country. You can't send someone back to repay your merits every time." Hou Junji ordered.

"General, why don't we go straight to the territory of Tianzhu Kingdom in one go? Isn't the art of war about going all out?" a lieutenant general asked.

Hou Junji smiled, and it is good for his subordinates to be eager to learn, "Landing operations are different from naval battles. Our warships and vitality suppress the enemy's navy, so we can win more with less, but landing is different. If we If the logistics supply cannot keep up, it will become a solitary army. The art of war is taboo and the solitary army will go deep. Therefore, the general will be waiting for the logistics of the King of Yue, and the remaining forty fleets of our navy. Only a hundred thousand troops gather. Only the navy dares to threaten to directly destroy the country."

"The general is brilliant."

But Hou Junji never imagined that although his plan was strict and cautious, he still underestimated the strength of Tianzhu's navy. The so-called knowing oneself and knowing the enemy will not be imperiled in a hundred battles. The characteristics of naval battles are such that they underestimate the enemy.

On the third night of the Great Tang Qinggong Night Banquet, Hou Junji calculated that it would take three more days for the supply fleet to arrive, but he did not expect that the enemy would arrive first.

"No, there are enemies on board!"

In the middle of the night, on the vast sea, a cry of alarm directly woke up the Datang Navy in the cabin, and then saw a warship on which the flames were ablaze. It was obvious that someone had set fire to the ship.

"Enemy attack, enemy attack!" The urgent sound of the trumpet immediately spread throughout the sea, and dozens of Great Tang warships moved in unison.

But the enemy came prepared, and the Datang navy had stayed on the sea for several days. In the dead of night, the enemy directly came and approached the Datang warship with thousands of small boats. Almost every large ship was surrounded by at least two people. There are ten small boats, each of which can only carry a dozen people, but in such a silent state, the enemy can sneak up on the big boat with flying claws and sneak up on it.

In addition, after the First World War of the Tang Dynasty Navy, they carelessly underestimated the enemy, and those who kept watch at night were very slack. Moreover, there were no electric lights in this era, and the light from torches could not illuminate very far. People are hard to defend against.

When Hou Junji heard the enemy's attack, he turned over immediately, and before he had time to put on his clothes, he raised his sword and rushed out.

Along the way, he encountered many soldiers of Jieri Dynasty with various weapons, Hou Junji was furious, and his body was covered in blood.

Finally, after a hard fight, he led his personal guards to kill and scatter the thieves on his leading boat. Hou Junji ordered that the big boat start to crush the surrounding small boats.

But almost all the people in the small boat boarded the boat and started fighting. Their purpose was very clear, that is to snatch at least one of Datang's warships regardless of everything.

"Bastard, send me an order to use Thunderbolt, which can be used on and off the ship. Be sure to pay off the thieves on the ship, and don't let them control any warship."

Hou Junji ordered that when the situation was critical at this time, thunderbolts would not be thrown directly on one's own warships. Firstly, it would damage one's own warships, and secondly, it could cause fires. No more.

"No, the enemy has used thunder and fire, run for your life!" The soldiers of Jieri Dynasty shouted after hearing the thunderous bombing.

All of them didn't care about fighting and fighting, and rushed to jump off the boat to escape for their lives.

"Order the ships to find each other's big ships in a quarter of an hour, and chase them down for me." Hou Junji said angrily.

At this time, a voice came from the bottom of the cabin, "It's not good, there are water ghosts chiseling the boat, and our boat is leaking."

What? ? ?Hou Junji turned pale with shock.

This is the second plan of the Admiral Ariza of the Tianzhu Kingdom Navy. If the capture of the ship is unsuccessful, then all the sneak attacking soldiers will sneak in and act as water ghosts. They must cut through all the Tang ships, so that they can also feel what it means to be completely wiped out.

"General, the final suggestion is to retreat quickly. The enemy is in the dark and we are in the clear. The situation is not good for us." The lieutenant advised.

"Bastard, they have water ghosts chiseling boats. Is our navy a landlubber? Send water ghosts to disembark and kill all the boat chiselers." Hou Junji said angrily.

"General, in the previous round of fighting and sneak attack, our brothers suffered heavy losses, and the enemy's troops far outnumbered ours, so the brothers will die if they disembark."

"My Datang's warship is extremely strong, and it's just a mere water ghost. If it goes at full speed, it won't be possible for the water ghost to catch up to us?"

The lieutenant said with a distressed face: "General, our twelve main ships are specially reinforced, which can effectively resist sneak attacks by chiseled ships, but the other escort ships are not.

Moreover, it has been less than half an hour since the enemy attacked, and no one knows how much they have pierced through, so let's retreat first. "

Hearing this, Hou Junji finally stopped insisting, slashed at the railing next to the deck, and said angrily: "Send the order, the whole army retreats."

Chapter 9: Feng An Asks for Help

What Ling Hou Junji didn't expect was that this time was destined to be a rare failure since he went to battle. Excluding one of the twelve battleships that escorted the telegram the day before yesterday, the remaining eleven fleets returned only ten large ships. All were pierced and sunk, and even the main ship of one of the large ships was pierced by the enemy.

If the remaining ten warships were not desperate to save people, the Datang Navy's twelve fleets would have lost countless troops. Even so, this night attack also caused Hou Junji's 1 navy to lose [-] troops. More than ten thousand people.

General Arisa of the Jieri Dynasty looked at the Datang Navy fleeing in embarrassment and laughed loudly: "The Datang Navy is nothing more than that, and sent someone back to report to His Majesty the King, saying that the Datang Navy was defeated by us and fled back in embarrassment. No danger."

At the same time, Hou Junji looked at the sea full of flames behind him, gritted his teeth with hatred on his face, and said, "It will take half a month to join forces in Lingnan, and after half a month, I will lead another [-] troops back to take revenge. If we don't break through Tianzhu, take them down." Throughout the whole territory, Hou Junji swears not to give up."

Feng An, king of Lingnan Yue, was also an ant on the hot pot, anxiously waiting for the news from the front line. Hou Junji sent troops privately, but he couldn't persuade him, and he didn't dare to report to the court privately. Hou Junji will hold grudges, and Lingnan is also dominated by the navy, and will work with Hou Junji at sea in the future, so Feng An does not want to offend Hou Junji.

But when he couldn't get in touch with the frontline radio station, Feng An knew that it was not good. The distance was too far, and the radio station couldn't take care of it. If something happened to the frontline, it would be too late for the army to go to support, but the Lingnan Navy couldn't go with it. Going to war, after all, Hou Junji was just going to show off his power, Feng An never thought that he would provoke a war between the two countries.

"Report, report to the lord, the navy's front line has been contacted, and the front line has won a big victory!" A herald rushed over with a telegram.

"What? Great victory? Well, well, well, well, it's good to win, as long as it's not a failure.

No, who did General Hou start a war with?Bring me the telegram. "
