Chapter 349: Attack on Kuala Lumpur
"If you can't pay the ransom, you'll stay here as a slave until you can collect the money."
Ning Quan said.
"The minister obeys the order."
Chen Qingzhi bowed and accepted the order.
"Okay, I'm going to rest now, you can get busy."
After Ning Quan finished speaking, he turned and left.
……
The next day, Ning Quan set off for Auckland.
This time, Ning Quan did not have Liu Rengui to escort him, and only brought three warships.
This time so many warships and merchant ships were captured, some of which Liu Rengui was busy with.
So, don't bother him.
And the road is also safe, three warships are enough.
……
Ten days later, Ning Quan arrived at the Port of Auckland.
Guan Yu arrived at the port early to greet them.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty!"
"Haha, okay, Yunchang, no need to be so polite, just stand up." Ning Quan said with a smile while supporting Guan Yu.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Guan Yu said.
Then, Guan Yu led Ning Quan into the city.
After entering the city, Ning Quan discovered that Auckland looked brand new compared to before.
Not only has the city area expanded several times, but it has also become more prosperous than before.
There were endless streams of people and cars on the street.
The whole city is full of prosperity.
Ning Quan also saw many Indians and even a small number of white people.
"Your Majesty, these Indians belong to tribes that have submitted to us. There are now dozens of tribes that have submitted to us, with a population of over 200,000."
"These white people are from Europe and come here to trade."
Guan Yu introduced.
"good, very good, excellent."
Ning Quan nodded in admiration.
He didn't expect that Auckland would develop so rapidly in just one year.
The key is that so many Indians were naturalized.
This is a good thing, after all, Indians and Han Chinese are of the same race and origin.
Ning Quan also hopes that these Indians can integrate into Daqian and become a part of Daqian.
Next, Ning Quan stayed in Auckland for seven or eight days, learned about Auckland's development in detail, and put forward suggestions.
Ning Quan didn't set out on his return journey until the large ship arrived.
Ning Quan's ship had participated in the Battle of Malacca a month ago and immediately returned to pick up Ning Quan.
Of course, the ship did not make a wasted trip. It carried more than 10,000 soldiers and thousands of immigrants, including women.
The arrival of these people will undoubtedly further enhance Guan Yu's strength.
Ning Quan believes that if this continues, North America and even the entire Americas will get better and better.
..........
A month later, Ning Quan returned to Daqian.
However, he did not return to the capital, but went directly to Malacca.
As the most important port and trade hub in Southeast Asia, Malacca's importance is self-evident.
Although Malacca has been captured, the British troops have not been completely eliminated, so Ning Quan must take action personally.
When Ningquan arrived, Malacca had recovered from the war for a month and had returned to its former prosperity.
There are many merchant ships docked in the port, many of which are large cargo ships.
"I have met His Highness."
When he saw Ning Quan, Zhou Yu immediately bowed to greet him.
"No gift."
"What is the current situation of the British troops in Kuala Lumpur?" Ning Quan asked.
"Your Highness, the British garrison still occupies Kuala Lumpur and refuses to surrender."
"I organized several attacks but they all failed. The British were well-equipped with muskets, well-trained, and had strong fortifications. It was difficult for us to achieve any results."
Zhou Yu replied.
"Well, if they're equipped with muskets, it's not easy to fight them, and you don't have mortars to support you."
"But it doesn't matter. I'm here now. I'll rest for the night. Tomorrow I'll personally take down the British army."
"Your Majesty is wise!" Zhou Yu immediately bowed.
"Well, go down and get ready."
Ning Quan gave the order.
"Here!"
Zhou Yu retreated.
……
The next morning.
After breakfast, Ningquan set off for Kuala Lumpur.
Malacca is more than 300 kilometers away from Kuala Lumpur, but Ning Quan has a flying car, so he arrived in more than an hour.
At this time, although the city of Kuala Lumpur had not been captured, the British troops inside the city could not get out and were surrounded by Zhou Yu's army.
After Ning Quan arrived at the camp, he immediately went out of the city to observe.
The gates of Kuala Lumpur were closed and countless British soldiers were standing on the city walls, ready for battle.
After observing for a moment, Ning Quan immediately ordered the artillery and armored vehicles to prepare to bombard Kuala Lumpur.
Since the British army is resisting stubbornly, there is nothing more to say.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
A moment later, intensive artillery fire rang out.
Shells rained down on Kuala Lumpur.
Although Kuala Lumpur has tall city walls, how can it withstand modern artillery fire?
In just a moment, the front city wall was blown to the point of being shaky and on the verge of collapse.
The British troops on the city wall also suffered heavy casualties and were wailing in pain from the explosion. The remaining British troops were so scared that they turned around and ran away.
"Hold the line and do not retreat."
Seeing this, British commander Clark shouted from a high place.
After all, the British army was well-trained. Although they were frightened, they still obeyed the orders after receiving them.
At the same time, Clark immediately mobilized reserve reinforcements.
Clark knew very well that if the city was captured, everything would be over.
Therefore, we must stick to
Unfortunately, his idea was doomed to fail and would not change.
The intensive artillery fire never stopped.
The shells continued to fall, wave after wave.
In just half an hour, facing the heavy bombardment, the British army suffered heavy losses.
The human body has no power to resist the steel cannon fire
Finally, the British army could no longer hold on and the soldiers collapsed directly under the explosion.
They turned around and fled, and some even jumped off the city wall.
No matter how much Clark and other commanders shouted, it was of no avail.
Seeing this, Clark felt disheartened.
He knew that Kuala Lumpur could not be defended.
Sure enough, not long after, the enemy launched an attack under the cover of artillery fire.
"Kill~"
"Kill~"
"Kill all these bastards~"
……
The Daqian soldiers rushed forward shouting wildly.
Since the city wall had been blown down, the Daqian soldiers had no obstruction and could directly charge into the city.
Clark had no choice but to lead the remaining soldiers in a desperate resistance.
But the ending is needless to say.
Under the attack of the Daqian soldiers, Clark and other British troops were simply vulnerable.
At this time, the smoothbore gun is no longer useful.
Without organization and formation, the smoothbore gun cannot exert its power at all.
Clark and others' resistance lasted only an hour before it was defeated.
Thirty thousand British soldiers were either killed in battle or captured.
Clark himself was also captured.
After final statistics, it was found that about 15,000 enemy troops were killed in this battle and 15,000 were captured alive.
In addition, a large amount of food, weapons, and supplies were seized.
Among them were 3,000 muskets.
In short, Ning Quan reaped a great harvest from this battle.
At this time, good news also came from Annan.
Li Jing's army captured Saigon and captured the Emperor of Annan.
The Annan royal family and all civil and military officials were arrested.
At this point, Annan fell into Ning Quan's hands.
At the same time, Yue Fei also led his troops to Dagon City, the capital of the Pyu Kingdom, and launched an attack on Dagon City.
The Pyu Kingdom lost its main force in the previous battle. The defenders of the capital city are only new recruits and the elderly, weak and sick. It is just a matter of time before they can capture Dagon City.
As long as the Pyu Kingdom is conquered, and then Siam and the Khmer Kingdom are conquered, the entire Indochina Peninsula will be completely incorporated into the territory of Daqian.
