Chapter 914 The Navy's First Victory
Hou Junji ignored this foreign monk and fellow villager and sent someone to throw him into a guest room on the boat. Then he ordered: "Put the general of the Indian army back and let him bring a letter to the King of India. There are still seven days before we agreed. If they do not properly prepare for the war, we will land from the beach and give them a heavy blow. Don't say that I, Hou Junji, bullying him, and don't take it seriously, be careful that we will destroy the country in one fell swoop. ◢ Follow◢ Dream◢ Xiao◢.com"
The captured general of the Jieji Dynasty, Pashikar, was thrown on a small boat and let go. Even though he had been sitting on the small boat and cursing, the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty ignored it because they couldn't understand it at all.
Two days later, in the main hall of the Jieji Dynasty, Pashikar, who was captured by the navy, cried and bowed to King Jieji: "Your Majesty the King, the Tang Dynasty is too wild and fierce, and even the people we sent to negotiate peace will not be spared. Our navy escort fleet was wiped out except for the last general, and even Master Xuanzang was brutally thrown into the sea and drowned."
The Navy General shouted seriously: "Your Majesty, the Tang Dynasty has sent another letter. The General of the Mo has already asked someone to translate it roughly. They said that they would land in a few days to destroy our Ji Japanese dynasty. The General of the Mo has asked the Navy to fight them."
King Jie Ri was furious. The arrogant Tang army killed our envoys and soldiers. He did not even let go of the famous Master Xuanzang, and dared to say that he would destroy our country?
"I am saying that the entire Jie Japanese dynasty will prepare for war, and the navy will be dispatched to destroy the Tang navy in one fell swoop. If they are really allowed to land, the entire Jie Japanese dynasty will participate in the war."
Although the Jieji Dynasty is a Buddhist country, it also pursues the policy of combat unification. King Jieji has been attacked since he took office. Except for the Zhaloqi Dynasty in the south, the Jieji Dynasty has not yet said that it cannot be chewed.
Three days later, Hou Junji's fleet saw the real strength of the navy of this great country, Tianzhu. It was a total of 100 large ships, and each large ship was followed by ten medium-sized ships. It can be seen that such a fleet was the same as the Tang Dynasty's settings. The ten medium-sized ships followed by the large ship were all guard ships, and in total, they were a total of 100 formations.
On the other hand, Hou Junji was extremely underestimated by the victory of the Japanese and Fuyu. Therefore, this time he led the team to attack Tianzhu, Hou Junji only brought ten formations, only one-fifth of his northern navy. If Feng Ang hadn't been worried, he sent two southern formations to escort, this time Hou Junji would have fought ten to a hundred.
The deputy general looked at the thousands of warships rushing towards him in front of him and asked Hou Junji with some sway, "General, the enemy is powerful and our strength is too disparate. It is better to avoid his attack for the time being and call on other naval formations to come together before fighting."
"Bastard, my Tang Dynasty navy is invincible in the world. When will there be any saying that we will retreat without fighting?" Hou Junji cursed.
"General, it's obvious that they were luring the enemy deeper before. They created two small fleets to confuse us twice, and just waited for us to be fooled. This time, thousands of warships were killed. Once we were entangled by them, our side would be in danger under the huge gap in force." Another deputy general was also not optimistic about this war.
Hou Junji looked excited and said loudly: "Since that's the case, we won't let them get close. If we send orders, the twelve formations will form a circular formation to defend against the enemy. No matter how many warships the enemy came, they will all intercept them within the maximum range of the crossbow bombardment sky thunder.
I want to see if they have many warships or ours. Although their warships look good in size, they are still pure wood structures. When they meet the unique thunder of the Tang Dynasty, there is only a dead end.
Tell the crossbow operator that today is a battle of back and forth, if you fail, you will be successful and let them beat them more accurately.
Finally, I met an opponent worthy of attention. Only by fighting this battle can we promote the majesty of our navy."
When everyone saw that the military order had not been changed, they knew that it was useless to persuade them again, so they turned around and executed the orders to fight. This was the strict military discipline of the Tang Dynasty. When the enemy was against the enemy, only the general was the voice of the entire army.
On the side of the Jiji Dynasty, the Navy General Arisa looked at the dozens of ships in front of him and sneered. The Tang Dynasty was just like this. Do you want to conquer our Jiji Dynasty with dozens of ships?
"General, Datang is famous. Although there are not many warships in front of us, they are much larger than our warships. Finally, they think they should be careful of fraud." A deputy general said respectfully.
At this time, Pashikar, who had been captured next to him, said: "General, I fought with them that day. Their warships were huge and very strong in structure. What's strange is that even their flexibility and speed exceeded our warships. Our warships must not fight them head-on, otherwise they will be crushed by their violence."
This sentence immediately attracted the attention of General Arisa, but then he turned around and saw more than a thousand boats behind him, and his confidence surged.
"Don't worry, we have countless warships, and we rush to surround them, and a thousand warships are entangled in close proximity. What's wrong with him being as strong as a stubborn stone?
After passing the order, all the soldiers charged forward, and all the soldiers were unsheathed and prepared to board the ship to fight in close combat.
Today, we will avenge the soldiers who died in battle a few days ago.”
But less than a quarter of an hour after he gave the order, when the fleet formation of the Jie Ri Dynasty had just taken shape, a large black net suddenly appeared in the sky. It was made of black dots. Although it was a little sparse, it was arranged very neatly and soon came to everyone's eyes.
“That’s it?
No, could it be the catapult of the Datang Fleet? Their range can actually reach such a long distance? Dangerous!"
As the general exclaimed, many black spots had already hit the ships of the Jiji Dynasty. But what puzzled them was that the power of this round of catapult was too small, it was just a black stone the size of a fist, and it was not even broken into the deck.
But the next second, they stopped thinking so. A roar sounded, and all the soldiers of the Jie Ri Dynasty were confused. What is this? Is it like thunder?
"No, the Tang Dynasty knows magic, let's disperse quickly." The general ordered quickly.
However, the Tang Dynasty has not stopped since it fired its crossbows, and it continued to continue, with all the roars kept ringing in the fleet of the Jiji Dynasty, which had long been flooded with the general's orders. Not long afterwards, the fleet of the Jiji Dynasty began to sink a ship, and the number of casualties increased sharply.
