Chapter 379 Accelerating the Process
.............
Upstairs in the city of Queensland.
"Reporting to General Bai, we have just received an urgent report."
"General Yue Fei won a great victory, completely annihilating the Arab main force of 300,000."
Li Muxing hurried to report.
"Hahaha, really? That's great."
Bai Qi laughed out loud when he heard this.
"In this way, as long as we completely wipe out this enemy force, the destruction of the Great Arab will be just around the corner."
"Yes, if the main force of the Arabs is completely wiped out, the rest will not be a concern." Li Mu said firmly.
While Bai Qi and Li Mu were chatting, the Arab army launched another attack.
This time the enemy was even more fierce, with infantry charging in the front and archers providing cover behind.
But the outcome was exactly the same as the first wave. They couldn't even reach the city wall and were defeated by the defenders.
The same thing happened with the third and fourth attacks.
Throughout the day, the enemy launched six waves of attacks, all of which ended in failure, resulting in heavy casualties.
But this did not shake Luke's determination.
No matter what, Quince must be won now.
"Pass on my orders to continue the attack tomorrow morning."
Lux said through gritted teeth.
"promise!"
..............
The night passed quickly.
The morning sun shines on the earth, and the earth is covered with golden armor.
The Arab army launched another attack, but returned empty-handed after a day.
The city of Kunshi was like an iron wall. No matter how hard the Arab army attacked, they could not shake it at all.
On the other side, the capital of Daqian.
It is midsummer now and the sun is scorching.
The whole capital was sweltering with heat waves, and even if you didn't move around, you would still be sweating profusely.
But inside the Daqian Palace, it was extremely clean at this time.
Because the palace is equipped with air conditioning.
"Your Majesty, in the battle against the Arabs, General Yue Fei has won a great victory, and General Bai Qi is also confident of victory."
Zhuge Liang said respectfully while standing beside the dragon table.
"Well, that's not unexpected." Ning Quan nodded.
"But this is far from enough."
"The Arab Empire is still quite powerful. Even if these two armies are destroyed, the Arab Empire will still have at least hundreds of thousands of elite troops."
"So if we want to completely destroy the Arabs, I think we still need to continue to invest troops."
"I am considering whether to land on the western coast of the Arab world, just like we did in Mumbai, to open up a second battlefield." Ning Quan said slowly.
"Your Majesty is wise. I agree."
"If we can open up a second battlefield, it will definitely accelerate the demise of the Arabs."
Zhuge Liang nodded.
"Then do it."
Ning Quan nodded.
"I hereby order General Xiao He to serve as the commander-in-chief of this operation."
"At the same time, order General Zhou Yu to lead the navy to Quanzhou immediately to cooperate with General Xiao He."
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Zhuge Liang accepted the order.
"Also, I will also go with you to supervise the battle in person."
"I'll have to trouble the Prime Minister and the Military Advisor with the affairs of the court.
Ning Quan said again.
"Your Majesty is the highest authority. How can you justify launching an expedition in person? Please reconsider."
Zhuge Liang's face changed slightly when he heard this, and then he immediately said.
"You are worrying too much, Prime Minister. I am still young and I am not incapable of moving."
"Besides, haven't I personally led enough troops to fight?" Ning Quan waved his hand and said.
"Well, Your Majesty, please be careful." Zhuge Liang finally agreed.
.......
Quanzhou Port.
Located in Minnan County, Daqian, it is the most important foreign port and trade center of Daqian.
Business here is booming, with people coming and going and ships passing by in an endless stream.
On this day, a huge navy fleet sailed into Quanzhou Port in a mighty manner.
This fleet mainly consisted of merchant ships and cargo ships, about 500 in total, and only a dozen warships.
It was the navy fleet led by Zhou Yu.
The arrival of the fleet quickly attracted the attention of the people of Quanzhou Port.
"Look, it's our Daqian Navy."
"Why is the Daqian Navy in Quanzhou? Are they planning to go to war again?"
"Of course it is. Otherwise, why would there be such a big scene?"
"Who knows? Anyway, there must be something wrong."
Everyone was talking about it.
At the same time, twenty miles southwest of Quanzhou City, there was a huge military camp.
"Report to General Xiao, the navy has arrived."
A soldier ran into the tent to report.
"Oh, we're here?"
Xiao He's eyes lit up when he heard the report.
Since being recruited, Xiao He was sent to Quanzhou by Ning Quan to train troops.
Ning Quan had actually planned to open a second front a long time ago, so as to prepare for a rainy day.
"Inform all troops to proceed to the port according to the original plan." Xiao He said decisively.
"Yes!"
The soldiers retreated to deliver the order.
Then, the soldiers began to gather and then marched towards the dock in batches.
Xiao He took the rest of the generals and went directly to the port.
At the dock, Zhou Yu's flagship has already docked.
Zhou Yu, dressed in silver armor, walked down from the boat.
"Xiao He greets General Zhou." Xiao He came forward and said with a smile.
"You're too polite, General Xiao." Zhou Yu said with a smile.
"General Xiao, is the army ready?"
"It's all ready and on the way."
"I hope General Zhou will take good care of me during this trip to Daqin."
"Don't worry, this is my duty." Zhou Yu said solemnly.
"In that case, let's prepare to let the soldiers board the ship."
Xiao He said in a deep voice.
"it is good!"
Soon, a large number of soldiers arrived.
"Come aboard!"
At Xiao He's command, a total of 60,000 soldiers began to board the ship.
.........
On the east side of Quanzhou Port, about five miles from the coast, a large ship is anchored here.
At this moment, Ning Quan was leisurely drinking tea on the deck.
Ning Quan flew directly to the ship and did not go to Quanzhou Port.
His identity is different now, and his personal visit to Quanzhou is bound to cause a sensation, and it is also easy for news to leak out.
So Ning Quan went directly onto the big ship.
Ning Quan's large ship has been responsible for transportation tasks in recent years, traveling back and forth to America every two months, transporting a large number of immigrants to America.
Because of this war, Ning Quan was called back.
The large ship came from Tamsui and carried twelve thousand soldiers.
At present, the Daqian Navy fleet can only carry 60,000 soldiers at its full capacity, which is slightly insufficient in terms of manpower.
A large ship can carry more than 10,000 soldiers at a time, and an extra 10,000 soldiers is 10,000 more.
"Your Majesty, our troops are currently boarding the ship. General Xiao and General Zhou will be here soon."
"Oh, I see."
Ning Quan put down his teacup and said.
"Yes!"
Soon, Xiao He and Zhou Yu boarded the big ship on a transport ship.
"Greetings to Your Majesty!"
"No gift!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
"General Xiao, thank you for your hard work during this period."
"Your Majesty is too polite. I am unworthy of it!"
"Okay, come in and discuss the next march and combat plan." Ning Quan said.
"Yes."
Xiao He and Zhou Yu followed Ning Quan to the bridge and sat down.
"General Xiao, you know the landing site. It's Karachi."
"Karachi is the largest city in the southern part of the Arab Empire and also its most important port. Capturing it is equivalent to stabbing the Arab Empire in the back." Ning Quan said.
