The Tang naval fleet that won a big victory just stayed on the sea, and Hou Junji ordered the whole army to celebrate the day.

At the banquet, the deputy general asked Hou Junji with the wine jar: "General, our victory over the Tianzhu Navy this time has shown the prestige of our Tang Dynasty, can we report the victory to the imperial court?" According to what you said, seventy small boats can be worth reporting, but now it is a fleet of five hundred large and medium-sized ships at a time.

The brothers are still waiting to be rewarded for their merits. ”

Hou Junji laughed and said: "Yes, in terms of merit and reward, such a great merit, our navy can finally gain a foothold in the DPRK and China, and the order is that Sima in the army will write down the battle experience into a document, and report the victory directly to His Majesty by the radio station on the fleet." ”

However, Sima in the army saluted and said: "General, the radio station on the ship cannot be transmitted directly to Datang, and we are too far away from Lingnan, so we cannot contact the imperial court at present." ”

"What? Does the radio station have to go through Lingnan relay? The whole of Funan belongs to our Datang, isn't there a radio station here? Hou Junji frowned.

"We have just conquered the land of Funan, and the imperial court has not yet fully sent governance officials in place, let alone laid down the radio station." Sima in the army is embarrassed.

The fact is that this is indeed the case, the power of the radio station in this period is not large, often the signal begins to weaken when it goes out of thousands of miles, the limit is two thousand miles to strengthen the signal relay facilities, Datang has just realized the national radio relay communication, and the surrounding just laid down the territory has indeed not come and arranged, although Southeast Asia is all classified into the territory of Datang, but Datang is extremely lacking in governance, civil and military, so it is not completely in hand.

"In this case, send a fleet to escort the radio station and return to the Lingnan direction, you can contact the king of Yue, and ask the king of Yue to help report the merit and set up the sea radio station, this is too inconvenient, and the general will continue to land northward to destroy the country, you can't send someone back every time to report the merit." Hou Junji ordered.

"General, why don't we go directly to the territory of Tianzhu Country in one go? Doesn't the Art of War say a blow? An adjutant asked.

Hou Junji smiled, it is a good thing for his subordinates to be studious, "Landing operations are different from naval battles, our warships and vitality suppress the enemy's navy, so we can win more with less, but the landing is different, if our logistics supply can't keep up, it will become a lone army, and the art of war is taboo to go deep alone, so we will be waiting for the logistics of the king of Yue, as well as the remaining forty fleets of our navy, only when 100,000 troops gather, our navy dares to threaten to destroy the country directly." ”

"The general is clever."

But Hou Junji never thought that although he planned to be strict and cautious enough, he still underestimated the strength of the Tianzhu Navy, the so-called knowing oneself and knowing that the other side would not be defeated in a hundred battles, and now that the Tang Dynasty is in a war, he only knows that the Tianzhu Kingdom is vulnerable, but he does not know the characteristics of the naval battle of the Tianzhu Kingdom, so it is inevitable to underestimate the enemy.

On the third night of the Tang Dynasty Light Gong Night Banquet, Hou Junji calculated that he would be able to wait for the supply fleet in three more days, but he didn't expect that it was the enemy who came first.

"Oh no, there's an enemy on board!"

In the middle of the night, on the vast sea, an exclamation directly woke up the Tang Navy in the cabin, and then saw a firelight on a warship, obviously someone set fire on the ship.

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

But the enemy came prepared, the Datang Navy stayed on the sea for several days, in the dead of night, the enemy came directly thousands of small boats quietly approached the Datang warship, almost every big ship has no less than 20 small boats around it, and each boat can only carry a dozen people, but under this silence, the enemy can stick up and quietly climb onto the big ship with flying claws to sneak attack.

In addition, after the first battle of the Tang Navy, the enemy was careless, and the sentry at night was lax, and there were no electric lights in this era, and the light of the torches could not illuminate far, and the night was boundless, and the enemy put down the boat from a thousand meters away and came up, which made people unguardable.

Hou Junji immediately turned over when he heard the enemy attack, and he didn't have time to put on his preparations, so he directly picked up the treasure knife and rushed out.

Along the way, he met many soldiers of the Ring Sun Dynasty with various weapons, and Hou Junji was furious and killed all over blood.

Finally, after a hard battle, with his personal guards to kill the thieves on his head boat, Hou Junji ordered, the big ship started, and directly crushed the surrounding boats.

However, almost all the people in the small boat boarded the ship and fought, and their purpose was very clear, that is, to snatch at least one Datang warship at all costs.

"Bastard, pass on my order, the thunder will be used, it can be used both on and off the ship, and the thieves on the ship must be cleared, and they cannot be allowed to control any warship."

Hou Junji ordered, at this time the situation is in crisis, and the thunder will not be thrown directly on his own warship, firstly, it will damage his own warship, and secondly, it can cause fire, but now it is lightning, and he can't take care of this.

"It's not good, the enemy has used thunder fire, run for your life!" The soldiers of the Ring Sun Dynasty heard a thunderous bombardment and shouted one after another.

One by one, they didn't care about fighting and fighting, and rushed to jump off the boat and flee for their lives.

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

At this moment, a voice came from the bottom of the cabin, "Oh no, there are water ghosts scuttling the boat, and our ship is leaking." ”

What the??? Hou Junji was shocked.

This is the second plan of Alisa, the chief admiral of the Tianzhu Navy, if the ship is not successful, then all the soldiers who sneak into the attack must be scuttled through all the Tang ships, so that they can also feel what it is to be annihilated.

"General, the last general suggested that we should withdraw quickly, the enemy is dark and I am clear, and the situation is very unfavorable to us." The adjutant general persuaded.

"Bastard, they have water ghosts to scuttle ships, and our navy is a landlubber? Send the water ghosts out of the boat and kill the thieves who scuttle the boat. Hou Junji said angrily.

"General, in the previous round of fighting and sneak attack, our brothers suffered heavy losses, and the enemy's forces far outnumbered us, so the brothers would die when they got off the ship."

"My Datang's warship is extremely strong, just a water ghost, go full speed, can't the water ghost catch up with us?"

The deputy general said with a bitter face: "General, our twelve main ships are specially reinforced, which can effectively resist the sneak attack of the scuttling ships, but the other escort ships are not."

And it's been half an hour since the enemy attacked, and no one knows how much they've gotten through, so let's withdraw first. ”

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