Chapter 380 A knife in the back

"I understand your majesty's meaning!"

"Yes." Ning Quan nodded with satisfaction. "I have equipped you with more mortars to support your operations. I hope it will be of help to you."

"I will definitely not let your majesty down." Xiao He said firmly.

"it is good!"

Ning Quan nodded.

......

Two days passed in the blink of an eye.

Early that morning, the Daqian Navy sailed out of Quanzhou Port in a mighty force.

After meeting up with the large ship in the open sea, the fleet continued to sail south.

Quanzhou is nearly 7,000 kilometers away from Karachi, and it takes a fleet 40 days to sail there.

However, the journey was smooth.

Of course no pirates would dare to cause trouble with such a large fleet.

The weather was also good, without any big waves.

In this way, a month later, the navy fleet successfully arrived 300 miles southeast of Karachi.

This distance is only one day away from Karaj.

.......

Karaj is the only port in southern Caliphate and also the most important city in southern Caliphate. Its geographical location is very important.

The city is very large, and the city wall is more than four meters high.

The city has a population of about 500,000.

There are also quite a few troops stationed there, as many as 30,000.

In addition, there is a large naval fleet in the port of Karachi.

The navy fleet consists of about thirty large and small warships, and four to five thousand sailors.

Of course, it is far inferior to the Daqian Navy.

On this expedition, Zhou Yu had more than a hundred warships under his command, all of which were large warships and equipped with the latest artillery.

So the Great Food Water Master is not a threat at all.

What's more, there is His Majesty's large ship.

"Your Majesty, we will arrive in Karachi tomorrow morning." Zhou Yu said to Ning Quan while standing on the bridge.

"it is good!"

"General Zhou, the enemy fleet is now in your hands."

"Eliminate them as quickly as possible, and then land as soon as possible." Ning Quan ordered.

"Your Majesty, please rest assured that I will never fail you." Zhou Yu said solemnly.

..........

In the early morning of the next day, most people in Karachi were still asleep.

Suddenly a loud noise broke the silence of the night.

Immediately afterwards, countless flames shot up into the sky and the explosions were deafening.

The sudden change awakened countless civilians and defenders.

"what's going on?"

"How could this happen? Who did it?"

"Look, there are warships heading towards the port!"

"It's Daqian's warships. They're coming to attack us."

"Run!"

"Quickly notify the city lord."

"Woo! Woo! Woo!"

The sound of horns and alarms continued to be heard, and the originally quiet city suddenly fell into panic.

What was even more chaotic than the city was the port.

At this time, dozens of Daqian warships had rushed into the port and were frantically destroying the Arab warships in the port.

Because the incident happened suddenly, the Arab navy had no time to react and suffered heavy losses in an instant.

In just over ten minutes, most of the warships were sunk by the Daqian warships.

The remaining warships also suffered the same fate and were soon sunk.

"Concentrate your firepower and fire at the city walls!"

"Notify General Xiao that you can land in half an hour."

The enemy warships were surrounded, and Zhou Yu immediately gave the order.

"Yes!"

Immediately, the Daqian Navy warships began firing at the walls of Karachi.

"Boom boom boom..."

A large number of artillery shells whizzed in and landed on the city walls, and the splashing debris and smoke covered the sky above Karachi.

A large number of defenders were killed and the city walls were dyed red with blood.

"Quick, fight back!"

"Fire, fire."

On the city wall, a Arab general roared desperately.

Unfortunately, the Daqian Navy's offensive was too fierce.

After just one wave of attacks, the defenders on the city wall suffered heavy casualties, and dozens of artillery pieces were blown beyond recognition, making it impossible for them to organize a counterattack.

"Boom~~"

As the artillery bombardment continued, a gap was finally blown in the city wall.

"Oh no! Quick, plug the gap."

At this moment, the city defense forces arrived.

Seeing this, the leading general hurriedly ordered the city defense troops to block the gap.

But how can humans compete with artillery?

As soon as the soldiers rushed to the gap, Daqian's artillery fired at them.

In an instant, the Arab soldiers who were blocking the gap were torn apart like paper.

"Retreat, retreat, and organize a second line of defense."

Seeing this scene, the Arab general's face suddenly changed and he shouted hysterically.

The Arab generals were clearly aware that no matter how many people they sent, it would be in vain in the face of such terrifying artillery.

He now had no choice but to abandon the gap and organize a second line of defense behind the city wall as soon as possible.

At this time, the warships in the harbor were still firing.

At the same time, the landing fleet led by Xiao He had entered the port and slowly approached the shore.

Then, groups of soldiers walked down from the ship.

Then quickly engage in siege warfare.

The first batch of soldiers who landed were all elite and fought extremely bravely.

Especially since they were wearing heavy armor, ordinary arrows could not penetrate them at all.

In the middle of the team, there were more than a dozen mortar teams.

These mortar teams, each with fifteen people, three gunners and twelve ammunition handlers, will be responsible for fire support.

A moment later, Daqian soldiers poured into the gap.

Less than two hundred meters opposite them were densely packed Arab soldiers, so many that they were packed to the brim.

Almost all of the Karachi city defense forces have been transferred here at this moment.

"Boo! Hah! Hah!"

Without any hesitation, the mortar team began to mount the mortars and then opened fire.

Suddenly, large groups of defenders fell under the artillery fire.

Some soldiers were blown into pieces before they even had a chance to scream.

This is not a war at all, it is a one-sided massacre.

"Oh my god, run!"

"Don't come over here, don't come over here, I don't want to die."

"Help!"

"what!"

The remaining Arab soldiers collapsed almost instantly.

The next second, they cried, screamed, and fled frantically into the city.

"kill."

Xiao He shouted angrily and rushed forward with his soldiers.

"Pfft, pfft, pfft!"

He harvested the enemy's lives like chopping melons and vegetables with a big knife.

For a moment, blood was splattered, limbs were scattered all over the ground, and corpses were lying everywhere. It was like Shura Hell, extremely terrifying.

“Boom, boom, boom, boom!”

At this time, another gap was opened on the other side of the city wall.

Following closely, more Daqian soldiers poured into the city and joined the massacre.

Ning Quan dispatched a total of 70,000 troops this time, while the defenders of Karachi had only 30,000, so he had an advantage in terms of military strength.

Coupled with artillery suppression and the complete collapse of the defenders, the battle was no longer a foregone conclusion.

Two hours later, the defenders were basically wiped out.

The city of Karachi fell completely.

.......

"Hahaha, not bad, you got it so quickly."

On the big ship, Ning Quan couldn't help laughing when he heard the news.

Although he had expected this, he didn't expect it to go so smoothly.

"Come here, I want to go ashore."

Ning Quan said happily.

"According to the order."

The guards immediately went to prepare.
