Ji Tang

Chapter 1059 Falling short of success and going crazy
The sky is not yet bright and the night is not yet gone.

This time of day is the most sleepy time of the day, and it is also the time when people sleep the deepest.It is also the time when people’s vigilance is at its weakest.

At the exit of the eastern section of the strait, there are many small islands, and there are sentries set up by the Big Eater on them. Once an unknown ship is discovered, the kerosene on the sentry tower will be ignited, thus serving as a warning.

In the calm dawn, there was only the sound of the howling sea wind and the sound of the sea water hitting the boulders. In such an environment, as long as you didn't make too much noise, you would basically not be discovered.

Through the halo of light coming from the clouds, we could vaguely see several small boats rising and falling in the waves.It feels like it's about to be overturned at any time, exciting and thrilling!
People on the boat clung tightly to fixed things on the boat to prevent being knocked off the boat by the waves.

Yuchi Baolin calmly looked at the lights in the distance. Compared to the time when he first went to sea, he now understood the nature of water.But if it is overturned into the sea, there is a high probability that it will not survive.

When he was sent to Zhang Zhang's command by Ji Song's soldiers, Zhang Zhang recognized him at a glance.It was impossible for Zhang Zhang to let him go on such a dangerous mission.

But I don’t know what Yuchi Baolin said to Zhang Zhang. When he appeared in front of everyone again, he was sent to this sneak assassination team.

"Pfft!"

After Yuchi Baolin saw the dozing guard, he quickly stepped forward to cover his mouth and killed him with a dagger.

After Yuchi Baolin started, the others were not to be outdone and rushed directly into the sentry tower. They were all killed before the other party could react, and they didn't even have time to light a fire.

"Boss Wei, everyone has been solved."

The eldest brother Wei mentioned by Xiao Bing was none other than Yuchi Baolin. The surname Yuchi was so famous in the Tang Dynasty that as soon as he was reported to others, it was inevitable that others would not notice him, so he told outsiders that his surname was Wei.

As for why he is the boss of this team?Haha, the strong in the army are respected, don’t you agree?Just win.

"Well, check it out again and then head off to the next location!"

"promise!"

Dashi Fleet, Maimon's ship.

Suddenly, Maimon, who was sleeping soundly in the cabin, woke up.

Looking at the familiar environment, the sound of hunting outside, and a touch of fish belly white on the horizon, he wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and sat up.

Squeak.

The door was opened, and the confidant who had been guarding outside whispered: "Do you have any orders?"

Maimon came back to his senses and asked, "What time is it now? Is there anything unusual?"

"It's already dawn, and there's nothing unusual about the army!"

Maimon thought thoughtfully and waved his hand, signaling him to retreat!
The visitor didn't ask any questions, just closed the door and walked out.

"Am I thinking too much?"

Maimon frowned and suddenly shuddered as he recalled the scene in his dream where the fire was raging in the sky and the soldiers of the Great Eclipse were screaming at the sky and the earth in the sea of ​​​​fire.

He doesn't know why he has such a dream?It's so real, so real that it seems like it's about to happen.

At this time, he was no longer sleepy, and the clothes on the boat came to the deck.

Although the weather here is hot, there is a bit of coolness in the morning.Looking at the white fish belly on the horizon and the peaceful army, he breathed a sigh of relief.I think I must be overthinking it.

In his opinion, the Duke of the Tang Dynasty was simply a disgusting stinky rat and was not worthy of being a warrior at all.

He knew that he was playing cat and mouse with him at sea, and he didn't dare to have a head-on confrontation.In order to lure out the main force of the Tang Dynasty, he sent out more than a hundred warships many times to lure the enemy.

But the enemies just wouldn't be fooled. Whenever they were about to be bitten by him, they would all retreat without a trace, not entangled with him at all. He hated them so much.

Moreover, the incident in Chang'an even caused him to be criticized by the emperor, who believed that it was all caused by his inaction.If he could quickly defeat the Tang fleet, then the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty would never dare to do this to the people of Ala.

Fortunately, the Mufti was fine, otherwise he would have lost a lot of points in His Majesty's eyes.

"Damn that guy, he's so stubborn, he won't die even if he does this!"

Thinking that that hateful guy was safe and sound under the control of the Tang Dynasty, he wanted to curse the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty.People are right under your nose but you don't notice it, stupid!

"what is that?"

A soldier not far away from Maimon pointed to the sparks in the distance and wondered.

Maimon was also attracted when he heard the words. He looked in the direction of the guidance and saw a bright light in the east.

"fire?"

Maimon was stunned. It was almost dawn at this time. If the darkness had not completely receded, the light would not have attracted the slightest attention!

"not good!"

Maimon suddenly thought of something and shouted: "Ades, Ades, where did he die!"

After saying that, he came to the edge of the Warring States Period, picked up the drumstick and beat the war drum with all his strength.

The soldiers around him were stunned and didn't know what was happening.

"Idiot, that's a warning from our military sentry. Go wake up all the soldiers and prepare to fight!"

As the war drums roared, everyone was awakened.People were getting dressed, people were looking for weapons, it was a complete mess.

The disheveled Ades quickly came to Maimon. Looking at the governor who was beating the drum hard, he suddenly had a bad feeling! "Knock on this governor until everyone wakes up!"

The soldiers took the drumsticks and beat them with all their strength. The sound of the drums was particularly loud and clear in the early morning when there was just a glimmer of light.

"Ades, immediately send orders to all ships to take command!"

Maimon took a deep breath and looked at a faint black line appearing in the east.

"War is coming."

Maimon was right, war was indeed coming.

Nothing is foolproof in this world. When several sentry towers were finally solved, the people sent were discovered by accident.

Although they were all killed in the end, the flames were ignited, which made Ji Song, who had been paying attention to the matter, slap the guardrail hard.

But the matter has come to this point, and there is nothing he can do.

"Pass the order and move forward at full speed!"

"Tell Shen Zhen that once you get close to the enemy, you don't need to ask for instructions and attack directly!"

Ji Song said expressionlessly: "Since we can't do our best, there is nothing left to hide. Tell him to release all the fire ships while the enemy is still in chaos."

"promise!"

After the soldiers agreed, they picked up the various flags on the rack and waved them towards the adjacent fleet not far away.

Of course, the transmission speed of semaphores is not comparable to that of radio, but it is the only way to quickly and accurately transmit messages on the sea.Each flag bearer has undergone rigorous training, and every movement and swing amplitude must be just right, otherwise it is no joke to mistransmit military orders.

Following the order passed by Ji Song, the formation of Datang's South China Sea Fleet also changed. At this time, the fleet in front slowly approached, and the fleets on both wings were arranged in a flying geese formation according to their distance from each other.Not counting the more than [-] warships in the vanguard, the remaining [-] warships were divided into six flying geese formations and sailed towards the man-eating fleet at full speed.

Fortunately, they were not discovered too early. At this time, the main force of the fleet had already crossed the strait, and it took less than half an hour to feel the battlefield. However, Shen Zhen, who was in the vanguard, had already approached the Big Eater at full speed as soon as he was discovered. .

"Look, general!"

After passing through the early morning fog, Shen Zhen stood on the bow and finally saw the cannibal fleet.

However, after looking at it, his eyes froze and he suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. He suddenly felt like he was surviving a disaster.Is this a fucking cannibal fleet?

It looks like the ships are not inferior to the warships of the Tang Dynasty, and far exceed the number of fleets of the Tang Dynasty fleet.He remembered what he had said when he first arrived in the South China Sea to attack the big cannibals, and now he still felt a burning pain on his face.

If he had directly faced the arrogant Dashi Fleet, he would have died without even knowing it.

It was just a small-scale battle before, and he didn't realize how powerful the giant cannibal was.But after seeing this huge fleet group, he finally understood why the general manager did not dare to start a war easily, and even had a pessimistic mood many times.

If I put this to myself, I'm afraid I will collapse!

Not to mention anything else, if so many warships died together one on one, Datang would definitely lose.

Fortunately, they were far away from their homeland at this time, facing difficulties in military supplies and food shortages.At this time, the morale of the army has been worn down. Otherwise, it would be a waste of time and we would just run away.

"General!"

The generals around him suddenly had an unreal feeling. Is this their fucking enemy all along?

call!
Shen Zhen took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.

Others can panic, but not yourself.

He patted the shoulder of the general beside him and said with a smile: "Are you scared now? How do I remember that you screamed the most fiercely back then?"

Pointing at the huge fleet group ahead, especially the panicked cannibal soldiers above.Said: "The task of this first attack will be left to you."

"Light all the fire boats and let them out. It's his grandma's. What's the matter with too many boats? I'll keep them burning!"

The general beside him was stunned for a moment, looked at Shen Zhen who was gritting his teeth, and suddenly laughed.The fear just now subsided a lot in an instant.

Isn’t it just that there are more people and more ships?I've been through life and death for so many years, didn't I use less to fight more?
"Soldiers, launch the boats and light the fires!"

He drew out his horizontal sword, pointed it forward, and said loudly: "Burn his mother-in-law!"

The general was so brave that the soldiers below immediately calmed down.The myth that Datang was invincible in recent years allowed them to regain their confidence.

All the soldiers cut the ropes tied to the ship. After the ship ran away for a period of time due to the wind, a rocket set it on fire.

At first there were only one or two, but as time passed, hundreds of fire ships were speeding forward.

Fire borrows wind, and wind borrows fire.

When Maimon heard the frightened cry and came to the front, he almost fainted after seeing the overwhelming fireships heading towards his fleet.

"Order the soldiers to disperse the ships, disperse!"

Seeing that there was already a ship on fire in front of him, he couldn't help shouting anymore!

"Governor, Governor!"

Ades quickly grabbed Maimon and said loudly: "Governor, there are too many, we can't stop it. Please wake up!"

Ades' words brought Maimon back, who was gradually losing his mind. He closed his eyes as more and more battleships caught fire.Ades on the other hand was anxious, but he also knew that the governor needed time to make a choice.

Sure enough, when Maimon opened his eyes again, there was no trace of panic in them.

"Tell Basel!"

"Allah is watching us. It's time to devote ourselves to the Lord. Let the people of Tang Dynasty see the bravery of our people!"

Ades was relieved when he heard this. As long as the governor regained consciousness, he would still be one of the four powerful governors.He is wise and will make the most correct choice, although this choice is a bit cruel!

"Order the other fleets to retreat a hundred miles!"

"withdraw!"

When Basel, who was commanding the soldiers to continuously resist the fire ships, received the news from the governor, he fell silent. He knew that this would be a mission of narrow escape, although he hated Maimon in his heart.

But he understood that this was the right choice!

"Tell Maimon that I hope he can take good care of my family, otherwise I will never let him go even if I die!"

The messenger breathed a sigh of relief. Of course he understood what this order meant.If Basel disagrees, the Governor actually doesn't have much to do.

"You are worthy of your name, brave and loyal Lord Basel!"

The messenger bowed solemnly and made the highest etiquette gesture. This is the etiquette that people would do when facing respected people!
"Go back and tell Maimon that I will do my best to buy time for the army. I hope he can win this war!"

"Allah!"

"Pity!"

When Ji Song led the main fleet to the battlefield filled with flames, he happened to see the scene of the main force of the cannibal retreating, which was a pity.

"End the battle as soon as possible and count the casualties!"

After giving the order, he sailed back to the cabin.

"Mr. Hao, what should we do now?"

Gu Yanzhi chased Ji to the cabin. Now the cannibal warrior had his arm broken and the main force retreated. Although the result of this battle was not small, it was very different from the original plan.

In this adventurous decisive battle, they thought that they could inflict heavy damage on the enemy by relying on unexpected fire attacks, but no one expected that they would fall short and be discovered at the last moment.The big cannibal coach also made a prompt decision, allowing some of the warships to be broken off, and the main force quickly retreated.

The strait is a small area, and there were many fire ships set off before. In addition, the general behind the cannibal was also very ruthless. He directly placed the ship across the water of the strait. Even if the Tang Dynasty fleet wanted to pursue it, it could only wait until the fire was extinguished.

"How to do?"

Ji Song also knows that it is impossible to resolve this matter quickly, but now he has to worry about the big man-eating dog jumping over the wall.

"Pass this general's order to arrange a release line at the western end of the strait and send out patrol boats to prevent the other party from sneak attacks!"

He didn't want to be repaid by others, which would be uncomfortable.

Ji Song then spread out the chart to see where the giant man-eater might be leaning, and to see if there was any terrain that could be exploited.

Now that the Strait has been conquered by the Tang Dynasty, it can be said that we are in a favorable position, but we cannot be careless yet!
A long while later, while he was still crawling on the map, Shen Zhen and Liu Rengui arrived.

"I've seen the boss!"

Ji Song didn't hesitate and asked: What are the casualties of the cannibal?

But after waiting for a long time, there was no movement. Ji Song was stunned and looked up at the two of them.I saw two people with solemn expressions, as if something had happened!
"Tell me, what happened?"

Ji Song stood up and said in a deep voice. To be able to make these two people show such expressions, he knew that something was serious.

Liu Rengui wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Shen Zhen, who said directly: "Our army has no casualties, but the enemy's."

"What's wrong with the enemy troops? They're whining. You might as well say they're worried to death!"

Gu Yanzhi said angrily on the side.

Shen Zhen opened his mouth and said in a solemn voice: "The enemy cut off the ships behind them. The whole army was wiped out, and no one survived."

"The people who were rescued by our army jumped into the sea to pray for the death of others!"

"General Manager, they are crazy!"

Shen Zhen was trembling all over. He never imagined that the enemy would be so crazy. He would rather die than surrender. He shouted "Allah", jumped into the sea and let him sink.
