Chapter 399 Persia is doomed to perish
On the city floor.
His Majesty the Emperor looked at all this, his face extremely pale.
"Your Majesty, are you okay?"
A general asked hurriedly.
"I... can still hold on..."
His Majesty the Emperor gasped, trying his best to hide his inner fear.
"Your Majesty, please return to the palace and rest for a while."
"Daqian will not attack the city today!"
The general hurried to comfort him.
"Ok!"
His Majesty the Emperor nodded and slowly walked down the city wall.
He had just taken two steps when he stumbled and almost fell, but fortunately he was supported by the eunuch beside him.
"Ugh!"
Looking at this scene, the general behind him sighed deeply.
He knew that His Majesty was completely useless, and he knew even more that Persia was doomed to perish.
But as the deputy commander of the Imperial Guards, he is highly valued by His Majesty. It can be said that without His Majesty, he would not be where he is today.
So even though he knew it was a dead end, he had to be worthy of His Majesty.
.........
On the sea, on a big ship.
Ning Quan stood on the deck, looking at Dante City.
Ning Quan was excited and thrilled at this moment.
He had finally waited for this moment.
Persia is about to perish!
Bai Qi's army took only half a day to eliminate the million-strong army outside the capital, and the speed was so fast that even he felt nervous.
Now that there is only one lonely capital left, there is nothing to worry about. I believe we can take it down soon.
Once he conquered Persia, he would have fulfilled his dream of unifying Asia.
He even conquered Australia and America early on.
Holding three continents in hand, this achievement is unprecedented and will never be repeated!
"Report to His Majesty!"
At this time, Zhou Yu came to his side.
"speak!"
"Your Majesty, the spies in the city have reported that the Persian Emperor has killed dozens of nobles!"
"The reason is that these nobles want to surrender."
"Oh! Is this an internal conflict?"
"That's just right, these nobles are quite troublesome!"
Ning Quan smiled contemptuously, without any mercy at all.
There is nothing good about the nobility.
If they really want to surrender, it will be difficult for me to kill them. It would be best if the Persian emperor did it for me.
"Your Majesty is wise!" Zhou Yu said with a smile.
"Well, when will General Bai attack?"
Ning Quan nodded and continued to ask.
"Your Majesty, today's battle was effortless for our army. We can launch the attack tomorrow!"
Zhou Yu replied.
"Okay, then tomorrow, I hope we can win in one battle."
"After taking it, you and your naval fleet will have to stay here for a while to prepare for possible attacks from European fleets."
"European countries cannot just sit back and watch us continue to grow stronger. They will definitely take action."
Ning Quan nodded and then gave instructions.
During the time when Daqian was conquering Persia, European countries had been licking their wounds, while at the same time they were stepping up their preparations for war, ready to snipe Daqian's steps.
All countries realized that Daqian’s ambition was extremely great. He not only wanted to unify the whole of Asia, but also wanted to unify the world.
If they are allowed to grow and develop, they will surely perish.
They will never allow this to happen.
Therefore, when Daqian attacked the Arabs and Persia, European countries were also secretly contacting each other.
Many countries have even reached alliance agreements and formed joint armies.
Although the threat does not seem big for the time being, Ning Quan has to be careful.
After all, European countries are still very powerful.
Moreover, their weapons and equipment were relatively advanced. They had developed and equipped breech-loading flintlock rifles, and had developed new artillery including new explosives.
Although its performance is still inferior to Daqian, it has the ability to compete with Daqian.
Such a huge force should not be underestimated.
"As you wish!"
Zhou Yu accepted the order.
.............
The next day, the sun shone on the capital, making people feel warm.
But the defenders in the city did not feel any warmth at all, but instead felt freezing cold.
The Daqian army has already formed up, with the black muzzles of their cannons pointing towards the capital.
A solemn and murderous atmosphere permeated the air, frightening everyone on the city wall.
"What should we do? We're doomed!"
On the city wall, an old soldier said with a dejected look on his face.
He had seen with his own eyes the power of the Daqian artillery, which was simply beyond human power.
"Who said it wasn't? Isn't this just suicide?"
"Oh oh oh, I don't want to die."
"I'm only twenty years old!"
"I haven't gotten married yet, I haven't had a child yet, and I don't want to die."
Many people cried bitterly.
But some people looked resolute.
"Brothers, a man of honor never has to worry about not having a wife. I would rather die than live in humiliation!"
A burly man stood up and said in a deep voice.
His eyes were firm and filled with the courage to face death head-on.
"Yes, what's the harm in death? Let's fight Daqian!"
Some soldiers roared.
"That's right, even if we die, we can't lose our masculinity!"
Others echoed.
"Okay, since no one wants to live in disgrace, let's kill the enemy together."
"We must tell the Daqian bastards that if they dare to invade Persia, they will never leave Persia!"
"Yes, we must defeat them at all costs!"
Everyone shouted.
"Very good, warriors, then let Daqian see just how powerful our Persian men are!"
The general took the opportunity to raise his arms and shout.
"Kill, for dignity!"
"For honor!"
In an instant, everyone was united and the momentum was magnificent.
Hearing the deafening shouts of the defenders, Bai Qi showed a look of disdain on his face.
Fighting a war requires more than just courage; it also requires strength.
"Let's fire."
Bai Qi said indifferently.
"Boom!"
Following Bai Qi's order, thousands of mortars opened fire.
Suddenly, the air was filled with smoke, and dense artillery shells pierced the void, slamming down on the capital with sharp and piercing whistles.
In an instant, the city walls were riddled with holes.
The soldiers who were just cheering on the city wall were instantly turned into minced meat.
Bright red blood splattered all over the city wall.
"Hmph, vulnerable!"
"Order the infantry to advance."
Bai Qi snorted coldly, then drew his sword and swung it.
Suddenly, rows of infantry walked out of the formation and headed towards the city.
"Don't be afraid, kill me!"
"Fight them!"
The defenders also gritted their teeth and roared.
However, this was completely futile because the artillery fire continued and no one could stand on the city wall.
Any soldier who goes up there will definitely not survive for more than thirty seconds.
As a result, the attacking Daqian infantry arrived at the city almost unscathed.
Then the artillery fire stopped.
The Daqian soldiers quickly set up a ladder and climbed up the city wall.
When the defenders discovered that the artillery fire had stopped, it was too late to climb the city wall.
Bai Qi deployed a total of 70,000 troops in the attack this time, and the city walls had already been fully occupied. The two sides switched positions in an instant.
