Chapter 326: Great Destruction of Qi

Ning Quan acted immediately and rushed to Liuzhou.

Prepare to destroy Da Qi first, and then free up energy to deal with Da Qian.

Whether it is the Crown Prince or Concubine Zhang, just kill them both and be done with it.

"See Your Highness."

Seeing Ning Quan coming, Yue Fei hurriedly greeted him.

"Well, what were the casualties of our army in the battle of Liuzhou? Can we take Qinzhou next?"

Ning Quan nodded.

"Your Majesty, our army suffered few casualties in the battle of Liuzhou, but it will be difficult to quickly capture Qinzhou."

"Qinzhou, as the capital of Great Qi, has high walls and thick fortifications. It also has a large military force, at least hundreds of thousands of imperial guards."

"And according to the scouts' reports, reinforcements from all over the country are continuously gathering in Qinzhou, and the final strength may reach 300,000." Yue Fei said after pondering for a moment.

"Three hundred thousand?"

"That's a lot."

"But you seem to have forgotten one thing."

Hearing Yue Fei's words, Ning Quan said with a smile.

"Your Majesty, please speak." Yue Fei asked.

"You forgot that Qinzhou is close to the sea." Ning Quan replied.

"Huh? Yeah."

"Yes, Qinzhou is close to the sea."

Upon hearing this, Yue Fei's eyes lit up instantly.

Your Highness has a big ship in his hands.

Although Yue Fei had never seen the power of large ship guns, he had heard of it. It was a hundred times more powerful than a mortar.

"So, let's act immediately. I have ordered General Zhou to lead the large ship to Qinzhou."

Ning Quan said with a smile.

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Yue Fei's face showed excitement and he immediately went down to convey the order.

Soon, the army set out and headed towards Qinzhou.

On the other side, Zhou Yu led the navy fleet, including large ships, and had arrived at the waters off Qinzhou.

Da Qi also had a navy, but its navy was weak, with only a dozen small warships.

Facing Daqian's navy, there is no chance of winning at all.

The large ship didn't even have to make a move; the other warships could easily destroy it.

Upon learning that Ning Quan's navy had arrived and had annihilated the entire navy, Zhao Heng was shocked but not too worried.

Although Qinzhou is close to the sea, it is more than 20 miles away from the coast and is out of reach of the navy's naval guns.

What he didn't know was that Ning Quan also had large ships and naval guns with a range of fifty kilometers.

Otherwise I would have been scared to death.

Five days later, Ning Quan led his army to the city of Qinzhou.

At this time, the number of troops defending Qinzhou City had reached more than 200,000, including many troops from various places who came to support the king.

Seeing Ning Quan leading a large army, Zhao Guang was not to be outdone. He personally led the army to confront Ning Quan.

The two sides are on the verge of war.

"Emperor of Da Qi, I give you a chance to surrender, otherwise you will die today!!"

Looking at Zhao Guang on the city wall, Ning Quan said coldly.

"Hmph, I am the king of a nation. How could I submit to a traitor like you? Attack me if you dare!"

Hearing Ning Quan's words, Zhao Guang said angrily.

His eyes were full of hatred. If looks could kill, he would have torn Ning Quan into pieces.

"Okay, in that case, I will grant you your wish!"

"Order to fire!"

There was a sinister flicker in Ning Quan's mouth as he gave the order.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

“Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!”

A moment later, the sound of dense artillery shells rang out.

One shell after another whistled in from the seaside and fell into Qinzhou City.

"Bang, bang, bang!"

The shells exploded and instantly turned into huge waves that swept out and rushed in all directions.

In an instant, the buildings in the city collapsed and countless civilians and soldiers died.

"How is this possible? What kind of weapon is this?"

Looking at the scene in front of him, Zhao Guang was filled with fear and muttered to himself.

He couldn't believe that Ning Quan actually had such powerful artillery, which was beyond his understanding.

Not only him, all the soldiers on the city wall were shocked.

But there was no time to think too much at this point, because the shelling was getting more and more fierce.

Dense artillery shells poured down on the city like raindrops.

In just half an incense stick, the soldiers on the city wall suffered heavy casualties. Several sections of the city wall were even destroyed.

"Retreat, run for your lives!"

A scream rang out from the crowd.

One soldier turned and ran away in terror.

He was completely stunned by the scene before him.

"Run away..."

With this soldier taking the lead, everyone else fled madly, fearing that they would be killed by artillery fire if they ran too slowly.

"Damn Ning Quan, he actually possesses such a powerful artillery. We are no match for him at all."

Zhao Guang's face was also pale at this moment.

He originally thought that he could definitely defend the capital with the help of the strong city walls.

But now it seems impossible to do so.

At this moment, half of the front city wall has collapsed.

Obviously, this city cannot be defended.

If he didn't run away now, he and others would probably lose their lives.

Thinking of this, Zhao Guang did not dare to delay and turned around and left immediately.

He planned to flee the capital and go to other places to regroup and fight again.

But at this moment, a sound of breaking air suddenly came from a distance.

"Whoosh~whoosh~whoosh~"

In the blink of an eye, three shells happened to fall beside him.

"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

Accompanied by a violent explosion, Zhao Guang's figure instantly turned into powder.

Along with his guards, generals and ministers, they disappeared into thin air.

Ning Quan didn't know that Zhao Quan was killed in the explosion, but it didn't affect anything.

After ten minutes of shelling, seeing that the situation was almost over, Ning Quan decisively gave the order to attack.

Suddenly, the army rushed into Qinzhou City in a mighty force.

At this time, the defenders in the city had already fled and there was no room for resistance.

In just half an hour, the capital of Da Qi was captured.

Most of the more than 200,000 defenders surrendered, and the rest died in the chaos.

It was not until then that Ning Quan learned that Zhao Quan had been killed in the explosion.

But it’s better this way, it saves trouble, otherwise it would be difficult to solve.

Half an hour later, everything was settled.

Afterwards, Ning Quan entered the city and came to the Da Qi Palace.

The Da Qi Palace is still very imposing, covering an area of a thousand acres and magnificent, no less than the Da Qian Palace.

At this moment, the palace has been controlled by soldiers.

The princes, concubines, palace maids, and eunuchs all knelt in the hall, trembling with fear.

"Your Highness, how should we deal with them?"

Li Yuanba stepped forward and asked for instructions.

"Send away the palace maids, eunuchs, and other such people. Temporarily detain the other princes and concubines until my father-in-law arrives and he can deal with them."

Ning Quan thought about it and spoke.

Ning Quan had long planned to have Li Junchen take charge of Da Qi.

Li Junchen served as the prime minister of Daqian for thirty years, and his ability is self-evident.

Moreover, Ning Quan has no other candidates at hand now, so it is just right to let Li Junchen take charge of Da Qi.

"As you command, Your Highness!"

Li Yuanba responded and then ordered everyone in the royal family to be sent away.

All the palace maids were dismissed.
