One hundred and fifty thousand Longyan troops set out from Cairo and were divided into three groups.
The speed was extremely fast, and it took only seven days for all three armies to arrive at the port city.
Secretly dispatched into the city by Nashadir.
Nashadir asked Dick if there were any troop movements on the British side.
Dick responded that their troops had already moved out, although they were preparing to enter the battlefield.
Nashadir was very satisfied with this answer.
Regarding the alliance between Long Yan and Britain, for some reasons, Nashadir directly became the commander of the alliance and was responsible for the battle on the frontal battlefield.
Dick was responsible for cutting off the land routes to French ports and preventing support from other French colonies.
Long Yanjun is responsible for the sea route.
In the command room set up by Nashadir, he looked at the map of the French port city he had explored.
The city was fortified by the French.
The city's flat terrain was extremely suitable for cavalry charges.
However, in order to prepare for foreign enemies, the French built a large number of turrets around the city.
This kind of building is very solid, built with stones, and only the barrel of the gun is exposed.
This is also what the cavalry fears most.
The cavalry is the most mobile and destructive unit on the battlefield.
Because of the existence of war horses, cavalry can gallop freely on the battlefield, but they are rarely harmed.
The unusual movement speed of the war horses allows the cavalry to fight at high speeds. The spears and crossbows in the hands of the cavalry can deal the most serious blow to the enemy.
Nashadir was originally a nomad, and he was even more comfortable with cavalry.
But the cavalry has no way to break through the turret's defense. No matter how powerful the cavalry's attack power is, they can't break through a turret with their crossbows and spears.
Only artillery can subdue artillery.
But they traveled long distances and did not have that many heavy weapons such as artillery.
What's more, these turrets are just France's auxiliary means. Even if all the turrets here are destroyed, they will not be able to attack the city.
The city walls built by the French are towering and extremely thick. If you want to break the city, it is probably impossible to use ordinary artillery.
It might be possible to use Longyan's siege cannon.
But Nashadir had no siege guns.
"We can only try the ladder." Nashadir murmured.
Nashadir looked at the map and sighed. The French worked very hard to defend the city.
On the map he drew, only the turrets and thick city walls could be seen on the bright side.
As for how strong France's military strength is in this city, that's really not certain.
But there is still good news. France's naval power has collapsed after experiencing the blow from the Dragon Flame Navy.
The defenses on the port were not that strong.
On their side, the navy is their advantage, and this advantage can be guaranteed.
There will be absolutely no support from France itself.
"General, general."
Nashadir looked up at the generals who came in to discuss matters, most of them were his men.
Nashadir took a look at the map of the French port and said coldly: "Captain of the first team, you lead a team and launch a feint attack from here to attract the attention of the turret."
"Three teams raided and captured this high ground!"
Nashadir placed his finger on a high ground not far from the port city.
This is an area that Nashadir has not explored, but he has observed it through a telescope and found that this place is a low hill.
French peripheral troops were stationed above.
If Nashadir attacks directly from the front, he may be attacked by troops on these highlands.
At that time, we will be attacked from both sides.
"As for the third team, your team has the most gunners. Go and bombard the walls of France."
"I want to see how strong the walls of France are!" Nashadir said coldly.
In Nashadir's plan, this attack was just a test, and the purpose was to find out the truth.
He looked at how many people there were in the French army, and then formulated a battle plan. He did not understand the situation in the city and could not rush to a decisive battle.
The losses of the siege plan like the cloud ladder are too great. They were Longyan's ancient siege equipment.
It is a mobile platform that is about the same height as a city wall and requires soldiers to cover its progress.
Since the invention of artillery, this kind of ladder made of wood cannot withstand two cannonballs.
Plus the thing is big and bulky, making it too easy to destroy.
But as long as the ladder can be close to the city wall, it will be much easier for soldiers to climb the city wall.
The ladder can transport many soldiers up the city wall.
The general who received the order immediately returned to his troops to formulate corresponding plans.
…
On the other side, in the port city of France, Sachar received the news.
Their supplies in Egypt were intercepted.
At that time, Sashar took action and said, "Those robbers don't know whose territory Africa belongs to. They are fucking unscrupulous people and dare to rob me!"
Sashar had not yet ordered the capture of these robbers.
There was another piece of news that instantly made Sashar unable to hold back.
"General, there are many Long Yan ships on our route to the Mediterranean. They have blocked our route!"
"What!"
Sashar's eyes widened angrily, and a bad feeling suddenly arose in his heart.
The goods were robbed, and Long Yan's fleet blocked their coastline. What was Long Yan going to do?
Want to start a war?
Did they cooperate with the British?
Thinking of this possibility, Sashar calmed down and asked in a deep voice: "Where was our goods stolen?"
The subordinate looked at the map of Egypt and pointed out a location on it.
Seeing this place, Sashar's heart froze.
"Quick, prepare to defend against the enemy!" Sashar ordered decisively.
His men were confused. They hadn't seen half of the enemy yet, so why were they trying to defend themselves against them?
"You haven't carried out the order yet!"
Sashar shouted coldly.
Although they were confused, they followed Sashar's order and quickly entered a state of combat readiness.
After Sashar saw his men go out, his eyes gradually turned cold.
Long Yan was too far away from them, so it was impossible to intercept this batch of goods.
But the British colonial area has every chance of intercepting this cargo, and the location of intercepting this cargo is very beneficial to the British.
Although I don’t know how the Dragon Flame people formed an alliance with the British people who were still enemies.
But the facts are before us and we have to guard against them.
Sashar thought about it, and Long Yan and Britain joined forces. He was not sure that Long Yan and Britain's army could be defeated.
Need to ask for help.
Ask for help from France itself and other French colonial areas in Africa.
Sashar immediately wrote two letters asking for help, but now the roads are blocked by Britain and Dragon Flame. It would be a bit difficult to send the letters asking for help.
Sashar thought for a while and finally made a decision.
