Chapter 916 Hou Junji was defeated

The Tang Dynasty naval fleet, which had a great victory, stayed on the sea, and Hou Junji ordered the entire army to celebrate the merits for a day.

At the banquet, the deputy general held the wine jar and asked Hou Junji: "General, we have defeated the Tianzhu Navy this time and have shown the might of our Tang Dynasty. Can we report the victory to the court? According to what you said, seventy small boats are worth reporting, but now there are 500 large and medium-sized fleets at a time.

Brothers are still waiting to receive rewards on their merits.”

Hou Junji laughed and said, "Yes, I'll receive rewards on my merits. If you take such a great contribution, our navy can finally gain a foothold in the court. He sent an order that Sima in the army wrote the battle into a document and directly reported the victory to His Majesty from the radio station on the fleet."

But Sima in the army saluted and said, "General, the radio station on the ship cannot be directly transmitted to the Tang Dynasty. We are too far from Lingnan, so we cannot contact the court at present."

"What? Do radio stations have to go to Lingnan to transfer? The entire Funan belongs to our Tang Dynasty. Is there no radio station here?" Hou Junji frowned.

"Short after we captured the Funan land, the imperial court has not fully dispatched the governance officials, let alone laying the radio station." Sima in the army was embarrassed.

The fact is indeed this. The power of the radio stations during this period is not large, and the signal often begins to weaken when it goes thousands of miles away. The limit is that it is two thousand miles away and the transit facilities for signal are needed. The national radio station transit communication has just been realized in the territory of the Tang Dynasty, and the territory just captured around it is indeed not available for deployment. Although all Southeast Asia is classified as the territory of the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty has extremely lacked political, civil and military affairs, so it is not fully in its hands.

"Since that's the case, I'll send a fleet of escort radio stations to return to Lingnan to contact King Yue and ask King Yue to help report merit and set up a sea radio station. This is too inconvenient. I will continue to log north to destroy the country. I can't send people back to report merit every time." Hou Junji ordered.

"General, why don't we kill directly in the territory of the Heavenly Kingdom in one go? Doesn't the art of war mean to be in one go?" a deputy general asked.

Hou Junji smiled. It is a good thing for his subordinates to be studious. "Landing is different from naval battles. Our warships and vitality suppress the enemy's navy, so we can defeat the more with less, but landing is different. If our logistics supply cannot keep up, we will become an isolated army. The tactics of military strategy are taboos. So we are waiting for the logistics of King Yue, and the remaining forty fleets of our navy. Only when a hundred thousand troops gather together can our navy dare to threaten to destroy the country directly."

"General is brilliant."

However, Hou Junji never expected that although he planned to be strict and cautious enough, he underestimated the strength of the Navy of the Tianzhu Kingdom. As the saying goes, knowing oneself and enemy will never be defeated. Now that the Tang Dynasty has fought, he only knows that the Tianzhu Kingdom is vulnerable, but he does not know the characteristics of the Navy of the Tianzhu Kingdom. This is a careless person.

On the third night of the Tang Dynasty's light gong night banquet, Hou Junji calculated that he would wait for the supply fleet in three more days, but he did not expect that the enemy would come first.

"No, there are enemies on board!"

Late at night, a scream from the vast sea woke up the Tang Dynasty Navy in the cabin. Then, a warship was filled with fire. It was obvious that someone set fire on the ship.

"Enemy attack, enemy attack!" The clamor immediately spread throughout the sea, and dozens of Tang Dynasty warships moved together.

But the enemy came prepared. The Tang Dynasty navy had been staying on the sea for several days. In the dead of night, the enemy came directly and thousands of small boats approached the Tang Dynasty warships. Almost every big ship had no less than twenty small boats around, and each boat could only carry a dozen people. However, in this silence, the enemy could stick it up and climb onto the big ship with flying claws and sneak attacks.

In addition, after the Battle of the Tang Dynasty, the Navy was careless and underestimated the enemy, and those who kept watch at night were relaxed. Moreover, there were no electric lights in this era, and the light of torches could not shine far. The night was vast, and the enemy put down the boat from a thousand meters away and leaned up, making people unable to defend themselves.

When Hou Junji heard the enemy attack, he immediately turned over and rushed out without having time to prepare.

Along the way, he met many soldiers of the Jieji Dynasty holding various weapons. Hou Junji was furious and killed him with blood.

Finally, after a hard battle, he led his personal guard to kill the thieves on his head boat. Hou Junji ordered that the big ship start and directly crush the surrounding boats.

But almost all the people on the boat boarded the boat and started fighting. Their purpose was very clear, that is, they would snatch at least one Tang Dynasty warship at all costs.

"A bastard, I'll send my order to use the sky thunder, and you can use it on and off the ship. Be sure to clear the thieves on the ship and not let them control any warship."

Hou Junji ordered that the situation was in crisis at this time, and the sky-burning thunder would not be thrown directly on his warship. On the one hand, it would damage his warship, and on the other hand, it could cause fires, but now it is lightning, so I don’t care about these things.

"No, the enemy has used thunder and fire, run away quickly!" The soldiers of the Jie Ri Dynasty shouted when they heard the sound of thunder-like bombings.

Each of them did not care about fighting and rushed to jump off the boat and escape.

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

At this time, a voice came from the bottom of the cabin, "No, there is a water ghost carving ship, our ship is leaking."

What??? Hou Junji was shocked.

This is the second plan of Arisa, the chief general of the Indian Kingdom. If the ship is not captured successfully, then all the soldiers who attacked the enemy sneak into the water ghosts and must drill through all the Tang Dynasty ships so that they can also feel what the entire army is.

"General, the last general suggested that you retreat quickly. The enemy is secret and we are clear, and the situation is very unfavorable to us." The deputy general advised.

"Bastard, they have a water ghost who cannon the ship. Is our navy the landlady? Send the water ghosts off the ship and kill all the thieves who cannon the ship." Hou Junji said furiously.

"General, in the previous round of fighting and sneak attacks, our brothers suffered heavy losses and the enemy's troops were far more powerful than us, so brothers would die if they got off the boat."

"My Tang Dynasty warship is extremely strong, just a mere water ghost. If you move forward at full speed, can the water ghost catch up with us?"

The deputy general said with a bitter look on his face: "General, our twelve main ships are specially reinforced and can effectively resist the sneak attacks of the chisel, but other guard ships are not.

And it has been half an hour since the enemy attacked, and no one knows how much they have penetrated, so let's retreat first."

Hearing this, Hou Junji finally stopped sticking to it, slashed the railing next to the deck with one knife, and said angrily: "Send the order and the whole army retreat."
