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

Chapter 388 Showing Weakness

Of course, they were greeted with a barrage of bullets.

"Bang bang bang!"

The dull sound continued to be heard, like the scythe of the god of death, constantly reaping the lives of the Persian soldiers.

"kill!"

But even so, it still couldn't stop the Persians from advancing one after another.

They are as fearless as moths to a flame.

Until the corpses piled up into a small hill at the gap, which was even more difficult to climb than the city wall, the entire battlefield suddenly became completely quiet.

At this moment, all the Persian soldiers were stunned, their eyes filled with fear and despair.

This is not war, this is massacre.

Daqian's firearms were too powerful, far beyond their understanding.

"Run!"

Finally, someone reacted and turned around and ran away yelling.

Where there are leaders, there will naturally be followers.

In an instant, all the Persian soldiers turned and fled.

At this time, Ning Quan had already reached the city wall and was looking at the fleeing Persian soldiers with a slight smile on his face.

This was exactly the effect he wanted, to make the Persians understand the power of firearms, to completely undermine their morale, and to plunge them into despair.

Only in this way can we ensure their annihilation.

This huge Persian army must not be let go and must be annihilated.

"Your Majesty, will this cause the enemy to withdraw?"

Xiao He on the side said with some concern.

"No, they still have over 200,000 troops. How could they possibly retreat?"

"If we really retreat, how will the enemy commander report back?"

Ning Quan shook his head and said confidently.

"Your Majesty, Holy Might!"

"Then we will launch a counterattack five days later as originally planned."

Xiao He laughed.

"Well, I'll wait and see the show."

On this side, Ning Quan was chatting and laughing.

On the other side, Jadya was filled with anger and blood.

He originally thought he saw hope and could take Karachi through the gap in one battle.

The result was a complete defeat. Not only did they suffer heavy losses, but almost every soldier who returned collapsed.

Some of them ran away with their heads in their hands, crying madly, while others collapsed on the ground, praying for God's protection.

Jadya didn't understand why at first, until he found several deputy generals in charge of supervising the battle and asked them, then he understood what was going on.

"Damn, why does Daqian always have so many powerful weapons?"

"General, these flintlock rifles equipped by Daqian are extremely powerful and have a high rate of fire. Our army cannot stop them at all."

"Now it seems that this is a complete conspiracy, otherwise why didn't they use it at the beginning? If not, we should withdraw our troops. This war is simply impossible to fight."

Several deputy generals said with bitter faces.

"asshole!"

"Now that we are withdrawing, how can you tell me how I should explain this to His Majesty?"

Hearing this, Jadeja cursed angrily.

"General, what do you think we should do?"

"What should we do? We must persist in the attack. The enemy has a lot of flintlock rifles, right?"

"Quite a few, probably two or three thousand."

"Two or three thousand?"

Jadeja frowned.

This number is not small, but it is not too much for the remaining twenty or so Persian troops. If a full-scale attack is launched, they will definitely win.

"I just don't believe that two or three thousand flintlock rifles can stop us."

"Starting tonight, launch a full-scale attack. Use all your catapults and bombard me non-stop."

Thinking of this, Jadeja gave a decisive order.

"Yes!" Everyone responded in unison.

.......

As night fell, a large number of torches burned on the city walls of Karachi, illuminating the surroundings.

Ning Quan stood on the top of the city wall and looked out.

At this time, a large number of enemy troops were approaching the city from all directions, with a number of as many as 40,000 to 50,000.

It was obvious that the enemy was furious and determined to capture Karachi, and even launched an attack at night.

But this was more in line with Ning Quan's wishes, because it meant that the enemy had lost their mind.

This is even better, as it means we are getting closer and closer to completely annihilating the enemy.

"General Xiao, we must show some weakness in this battle to give the enemy some hope!"

"The Fusiliers should also be used, but they should be made to appear to be short of ammunition in order to confuse the enemy."

"Yes!"

Xiao He said respectfully, and then passed the order down.

Soon, one-third of the defenders on the four walls were withdrawn, and the flintlock musket team climbed up the walls to participate in the defense, but each soldier had only ten bullets.

Everything was ready and the Persian army arrived at the city.

"Swish swish."

"Bang bang bang."

The dense rain of arrows caused the Persian soldiers to fall down in large numbers.

The rain of arrows was mixed with the sound of flintlock rifles, but the sound was more subtle and not as intense as in the morning.

"Huh? They used flintlock rifles to defend the city? Could it be that they're short on manpower?"

A Persian general suddenly realized it and his eyes lit up.

The other Persian generals were immediately shocked when they heard this.

"Haha, that should be the case, otherwise it's impossible."

"And listen, the gunfire doesn't seem to be frequent. Are they short of bullets?"

"If so, we have hope."

"Yeah, I almost got fooled by the enemy!"

When everyone heard this, they immediately became excited.

"Look, our army has reached the city walls."

Suddenly, a general pointed at the top of the city wall and shouted.

The Persian army, led by several lieutenant generals, successfully seized an area on the top of the city and quickly formed a defense line.

Subsequently, more Persian soldiers climbed onto the city walls.

"This is a good opportunity, we must seize it!"

Many Persian generals were overjoyed and then urged their soldiers to charge.

“Kill, kill, kill~!”

"Charge forward and knock down the Daqian bastard!"

"Kill them all!"

Whether it was the Persian generals or the ordinary soldiers, their eyes were all red at this time.

It seems that the dawn of victory has been seen.

But the good times did not last long, and Daqian soon dispatched its reserve troops.

Hundreds of soldiers rushed towards the Persian soldiers under the cover of shields.

"Pfft."

"what……"

The sound of shields piercing flesh and screams suddenly resounded throughout the battlefield.

In less than ten minutes, the defenders recaptured the city wall.

All the Persian soldiers who climbed onto the city walls were killed in the battle.

"Damn it, failed again."

After seeing the situation on the city wall, a Persian general couldn't help but curse.

"It doesn't matter. After all, we've already reached the city walls. If there's a first time, there's a second time! And the enemy's forces are clearly stretched thin."

"If we just push harder, they won't be able to hold out for much longer."

Another Persian general analyzed calmly.

"Humph, General Ethan is right. The enemy is already at the end of its strength."

"Send the order to withdraw the troops and continue the siege tomorrow!"

Jadeja said coldly.

He also saw that the defenders were showing signs of fatigue and were short of troops. As long as they continued to attack for a few more days, they would be able to capture the city sooner or later.

"Yes!"

Soon, the army retreated.

Ning Quan and Xiao He smiled at each other when they saw this.

"Your Majesty, it seems the plan has worked!"

Xiao He smiled.

"Well, let them be arrogant for a few days."

Ning Yuan said with a smile.

..........

Islamabad, the capital of the Caliphate.

Islamabad at this time has changed beyond recognition.

Under the fierce attack of Daqian's artillery, the originally majestic city walls have become dilapidated.

Even several sections of the city wall were blown down.
