Chapter 917: Feng Ang asks for help
What Hou Junji didn't expect was that this time was destined to be a rare defeat since he went into battle, except for one of the twelve battleships that escorted the telegram the day before yesterday, the remaining eleven fleets only came back with ten large ships, and the rest of the small ships were all scuttled and sunk, and even one of the large ships was scuttled by the enemy.
If it weren't for the remaining ten warships desperately saving people, the twelve fleets of the Datang Navy would have lost countless people, and even so, this night attack also caused Hou Junji's 20,000 navy to lose more than 10,000 people.
General Alisa of the Ring Sun Dynasty looked at the Datang Navy fleeing in embarrassment and laughed: "The Datang Navy is nothing more than that, send someone back to report to His Majesty the King, and say that the Datang Navy was defeated by us, and fled back in embarrassment, and there will be no danger at sea from now on." ”
At the same time, Hou Junji looked at the sea full of fire behind him, gritted his teeth with hatred and said: "It will take half a month for Lingnan to retreat, and after half a month, I will lead another 100,000 troops back to take revenge, and if I don't break through Tianzhu and take their entire territory, Hou Junji vows not to give up." ”
Feng An, the king of Lingnan Yue, is also an ant on the hot pot, anxiously waiting for the news from the front line, Hou Junji sent troops privately, and he couldn't persuade him, and he didn't dare to report to the court privately, so there was a suspicion of making a small report, and it was not good to make Hou Junji gather to hold a grudge, and Lingnan's side was also dominated by the navy, and he was going to work with Hou Junji at sea in the future, so Feng Ang didn't want to offend Hou Junji.
But when he couldn't contact the front-line radio, Feng Ang knew that it was not good, it was too far away, and the radio couldn't take care of it, in case there was a problem on the front line, it would be too late for the army to support, but the Lingnan Navy couldn't go to war with him, after all, Hou Junji was just going to show off his might, and Feng Ang never thought that he would provoke a war between the two countries.
"Report, report to the prince, the front line of the navy has been contacted, and the front line has won a big victory!" A herald rushed over with a telegram.
"What? Victory? It's good, it's good, it's good to win, as long as it's not a failure.
No, who did General Hou go to war with? Bring me the telegram. ”
Feng Ang took the telegram and looked at it quickly, well, it was really with the navy of Tianzhu Kingdom? Well, more than a thousand naval warships? It's such a big formation, Lao Hou only has more than a hundred boats, how can he ...... Well, great, big win, it's an incredible big win!
Feng Ang watched it three times in a row, and only after confirming it again and again did he dare to believe it, and he also muttered in his heart, could it be that he really told Hou Junji that Lantian Hou did not expect it? The navy of Tianzhu Kingdom is not as strong as imagined?
"Someone, pass the order, and arrange more telegrams along the coast of Funan to strengthen measures, so as to ensure that our telegrams can directly contact General Hou on the front line.
In addition, the telegraph room was informed that after an hour, the king would personally send a telegram to Chang'an. ”
After finishing speaking, he said to the guards around him: "Also, summon the eldest prince to reorganize the army for battle, although General Hou has won a great victory on the front line, but the enemy has dispatched more than a thousand warships, dare to bully more and fight our Tang Navy?" Isn't this bullying us Datang people? Ordered Zhi to take sixty percent of our Southern Navy to cheer for General Hou. ”
Feng Ang is also a lover, and he knows that now Hou Junji's basket has been stabbed down, so he doesn't plan to sell his teammates and stay out of the matter, and directly let his eldest son help in the war, so that when the court blames him in the future, he can also take care of it with Hou Junji.
But before Feng Ang could figure out how to report this matter to the imperial court, Hou Junji's telegram of the defeat on the front line was sent again, the front line was defeated, the warships were lost, more than half of the manpower was lost, and General Hou was also on the way back.
Feng Ang was stunned, where is this? Didn't the last second say a big win? Why did you tell me in the blink of an eye that you were almost wiped out? Is that sentence true?
"Bastard, the two Lingnan navies who ordered the front line to help protect will report the detailed battle situation to me again, and there must be no omission."
Confirmed again and again, Feng Ang knew that it was over, Hou Junji was in trouble, not only provoked a national war for no reason, but also caused the Tang Dynasty to lose troops and generals, I am afraid that this time the basket is not small.
"Father, the child will take people to help General Hou find the field, and the Tang Navy cannot be defeated." Feng Zhi said loudly.
"Bastard, as a general, how can you make such a ridiculous statement?
Victory and defeat is a common thing in soldiers, as a general, you should correctly understand victory and defeat, not gambling on the moment, there is no invincible person in the world, there is no invincible army forever, defeat is defeat, to be ashamed and brave, what is the use of a momentary anger? That's a horseman, not a general. ”
Feng Ang loudly reprimanded his eldest son, for so many years, his eldest son has been the same, leading the troops to fight smoothly, and he has not experienced defeat, he is a little arrogant, if this time he and Hou Junji experienced defeat together.
If Hou Junji knew that Feng Ang used his own failures as parenting teaching materials, I don't know if he would find Feng Ang to work hard?
Feng Zhi was not convinced, and muttered: "Why is there no invincible person?" Isn't my master Bai Fan invincible in the world and undefeated? ”
"Hmph, dare to talk back? I shouldn't have called you out of the academy so early to practice, I should have known that I should have left you with Lantian Hou to study for a few more years, if you can learn the three things of Hou Ye, you go out and say that you are invincible in the world, and I don't care about you. ”
Feng Ang said, turning around and walking towards the telegraph room.
"Father, are you going to report the defeat to the imperial court? The child thought it was not. Feng Zhi persuaded.
"Use you to teach me? General Hou was defeated, and he should naturally call in person, because my father has not yet had the habit of beating people's small reports, but after all, such a big thing happened, I communicated with your master privately to prepare in advance and have a response.
Even General Hou's navy has suffered a big loss, and it is not good to say that the navy of Tianzhu Kingdom dares to come over to counterattack and retaliate against our Datang. ”
That is, Feng An's telegram let Bai Fan and others of Zhongnan Academy know that Hou Junji's arrogance caused trouble.
"This old marquis, told him that the Tianzhu Navy is not easy to mess with, he is good, he went without saying a word, this is not counted, how about bringing more people, is Datang short of food? If you take 100,000 navies with you, can you have such a big failure? With more than 10,000 dead and wounded, are the naval non-commissioned officers so well trained? Bai Fan said angrily.
Li Jing stroked his beard and said: "The arrogant soldiers will be defeated, Hou Junji is a good hand at fighting, but he is a typical fierce general who dares to fight against the wind, but it is a pity that his heart is too small, and it is easy to be arrogant when he fights more with the wind, and it is reasonable for him to have today's defeat." ”
"Hey, pharmacist, don't be an afterthought here as an afterthought, presumably the monkey is already in a hurry at this moment, you should think of ideas to help him, no matter what, it is my Datang soldiers who died, and the station has already been opened, I'm afraid I still need to find a way to prepare for war." Qin Qiong persuaded.
