The ninth son of the emperor was demoted at the beginning. I have a famous Chinese general.

Chapter 365 Great Victory

"Fire arrows!"

On the city wall, seeing the enemy rushing towards him, Ning Quan shouted coldly.

Suddenly, the archers who had been waiting for a long time shot out wave after wave of arrows.

"what……"

Waves of shrill howls were heard incessantly, and soldiers continued to fall in pools of blood.

When the remaining coalition soldiers rushed to the city, more than half of them had been killed or wounded.

It was only then that they remembered that they had no siege ladders.

Faced with a city wall that is more than ten meters high, how can we climb up without a siege ladder?

So the remaining soldiers turned around and ran away.

What else to do if not run?

Would I become a target if I stayed at the foot of the city?

"Ignore them. Order the coastal defense artillery to slow down and fire one round every half a minute."

"Send a flag signal to have the enemy fleet surrender."

Ning Quan ignored these defeated soldiers and spoke coldly.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The messenger answered immediately.

Soon, the coastal defense artillery received orders to stop firing intensively.

Messengers also stood on the city wall, waving flags to the combined fleet, asking them to lay down their weapons and surrender.

"hateful!"

Newman watched the landing fail and almost fainted from anger.

He actually forgot how sailors could do the work of infantrymen, and at that, siege warfare?"

No siege equipment?

"Commander, the other party is signaling us to surrender."

At this time, the staff officer spoke cautiously.

"surrender?"

"No way."

"Order the rear guard warships to clear a passage for me. No matter what means are used, even if it means ramming, we must break through. We must break out."

Newman ordered through gritted teeth.

Now we are in a state of no return and can only hope to force a passage through.

"Yes!"

The staff officer nodded and turned to convey Newman's order.

……

At this time, the port

"Bang, bang, bang~bang~"

Artillery fire from both sides was still ongoing, but the intensity had clearly dropped significantly.

A considerable number of the warships of the Combined Fleet were stunned at this moment, or to be more precise, they were frightened.

Daqian's coastal defense artillery is too terrifying. Facing such powerful artillery, they have no chance of winning.

Now the retreat route is blocked again, and I can't escape even if I want to.

The captains of all the ships immediately felt disheartened.

Now it depends on whether the rear guard warships can force their way out and give them a chance to escape.

The rear guard warships also quickly took action after receiving orders from the commander.

They used artillery attacks, ramming and other means to try to break up or displace the sunken ships in the waterway.

“Crack! Crack~”

But it is not so easy to move the sunken ship. It is impossible to knock it over, and there is more than one sunken ship.

But no matter what, they are still trying.

"boom."

But at this moment, a cannonball accurately hit the warship leading the way in the front.

"what……"

Suddenly, a huge explosion shattered the warship and it quickly sank into the sea.

The sailors on the ship screamed in pain, and many of them jumped into the sea to survive.

The boat that was leading the way turned into one that blocked the road.

All this made the fleet captains despair.

"Damn it, the commander is an idiot. He led us into a dead end."

"That's right. There's no way we can get past the wreck."

"But what should we do now? Do we really have to surrender?"

Many captains discussed this angrily.

"Damn it, I can't just sit here and wait to die. I've decided to surrender."

Suddenly, a captain of a ship said fiercely.

"You're crazy."

The other captains looked at him in surprise and disbelief.

"Am I crazy, or are you crazy?"

"If we can't break out, we're doomed. Don't you see the power of the enemy's artillery? One shot can sink our entire ship?"

"How do we fight this battle? Tell me how to fight it."

"Only by surrendering can I save my life. Why shouldn't I surrender?"

The captain looked at his companions around him with a ferocious face and roared.

"I agree!"

"I agree!"

Soon, several other captains expressed their opinions.

If I continue to stay here, I will definitely die. It is better to surrender than to do that.

"Okay! Then we surrender together! Raise the white flag immediately!"

Soon, several warships raised white flags.

With the lead, dozens of warships followed suit and hoisted white flags on their masts.

"Hahaha, you finally surrender."

Seeing this scene, Ning Quan immediately smiled.

"Commander, we have surrendered a large number of warships, you see."

On the flagship, the staff officer pointed at the large number of warships raising white flags and said in panic.

"What?"

Hearing this, Newman quickly turned his head to look.

Sure enough, except for a few dozen warships, most of the warships had already raised the white flag.

"asshole!"

"You cowards, we're not finished yet, we can still fight, we still have half the fleet outside."

Newman cursed.

"Commander, what should we do now?"

The staff officer said with a sad face.

"Send out the small boats immediately and have the pursuing fleet return for support."

"We must fight to the death, fight to the death."

"Order all naval guns to continue firing."

Newman said hysterically.

"As ordered!"

A moment later, several small boats were lowered and rushed out of the harbor to seek help.

……

"Your Majesty, several small boats have rushed out, apparently seeking help."

A deputy general reported to Ning Quan

"Haha, no need to pay attention."

"Order the coastal defense guns to aim at the flagship and fire. Since he's a stubborn individual, don't keep him alive."

Ning Quan said lightly.

The flagship refused to surrender, which made Ning Quan lose his patience.

"Yes!"

The deputy general received the order.

A few minutes later, shells whizzed towards the flagship.

"Dong Dong Dong~"

"Bang bang bang~"

"Boom~"

Suddenly, the flagship was hit by a shell.

It was blown into two pieces in an instant.

Newman on the flagship was completely destroyed on the spot, and his body turned into ashes and scattered.

The fleet commander died just like that, and his death was very miserable.

……

Seeing the flagship sink, the remaining warships that refused to surrender gave up.

They raised white flags to show their surrender.

"Hahaha, victory ultimately belongs to my Daqian Empire!"

Seeing this, Ning Quan couldn't help but laugh.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations, Your Majesty!"

"Congratulations, Your Majesty!"

"Long live your majesty!"

……

Cheers were heard everywhere.

"Hahaha, this war is so exciting."

"Now it depends on General Zhou to see if he can destroy all the remaining enemy ships."

Ning Quan said excitedly.

"Your Majesty, General Zhou is both brave and resourceful, and will surely achieve victory."

"Hahaha, I think so too."

Ning Quan laughed out loud.

"Your Majesty, the enemy has surrendered. Should we take over the enemy ship now?"

The deputy general asked for instructions.

"Well, go make arrangements immediately."

Ning Quan nodded slightly and said.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Ten minutes later, the gates of Malacca were opened and thousands of soldiers poured out of the city.

Then the soldiers boarded the small boats and sailed towards the warships.
