Great Tang Empire, Chang'an.
Tang Mo sat in his office, listening to the battle report on the recent naval battle at New Island. The Mirage troops had employed a troublesome suicide speedboat tactic, and the Tang Army paid a heavy price during the night battle.
The first challenge was that these targets were too small, making them very difficult to aim at during nighttime operations. Moreover, they appeared in overwhelming numbers, making them extremely hard to deal with.
The second issue was that the presence of these speedboats forced the Tang Army to remain vigilant at night, which greatly impacted the combat efficiency of the landing fleet.
"If they manage to get close to the landing zone, those defenseless cargo ships will be attacked. That would be a disaster, with many ships either sunk or severely damaged," said Luff, filled with concern, to Tang Mo.
