Right now, Egypt.
Outside of Port France, on a hill eighty kilometers away, Nashadir established a military camp here.
Three armies, totaling thirty thousand men, attacked the French port city.
According to Nashadir's instructions, the first shot was fired two hours after the siege.
Facing Nashadir's attack, Sashar showed unusual calmness. This attack only destroyed a few forts.
Nashadir's cannonballs did little damage to the city walls.
It has to be said that the walls built by these Egyptians are indeed strong enough.
But this attack surprised Sashar even more, the range of Longyan City's artillery.
The fort defense line set up by Sachar stretched for 200 meters.
Most of France's artillery ranges are around 150 meters.
Although Nashadir sent a interference force during this battle, it did not close the distance too much.
The Longyan shells launched their attack at least two hundred meters away.
But it can attack the city wall, which is shocking enough!
However, it will only be shocking. The city wall with a thickness of nearly ten meters is not that easy to break.
The only thing that worried Sashar was the delay in responding to the letter he sent out asking for help.
He already had a very bad premonition in his heart. Not long ago today, Sachar finally received the news and immediately convened a meeting with senior officials in Port France.
In the conference hall, Sashar's face was gloomy: "Everyone here, we are in trouble now."
Everyone was silent, now they were attacked by Nashadir, which greatly affected them.
But everyone knows that Nashadir will not be arrogant for long. France has a large colony in Africa.
As long as the news of the attack in France spreads, those colonial troops will definitely provide support.
The merchant president of Port France said disapprovingly: "Our support is coming soon, isn't it? Nashadir can't be arrogant for long."
Sashar glanced at him and shook his head.
"There will be no support." Sashar said solemnly.
Everyone was stunned, looked at Sashar blankly, and started talking about it.
“Without support, what will happen to our goods?”
"I still have business to do. Isn't this just waiting to die?"
"..."
"Quiet!" Sashar shouted in a deep voice.
The scene returned to a bit of silence, and they all looked at Sashar.
"Nashadir has made a deal with Britain and they have completely cut off our transportation lines."
Sashar looked up at everyone: "Now we only have the option of fighting Nashadir and protecting this port."
Everyone was silent.
It is a bit difficult for them to fight Longyan and Britain at the same time.
Especially when there is no foreign aid.
France is now much weaker after two defeats and has to concentrate its forces to protect their vital transportation routes in the Mediterranean.
As a result, large areas of Egypt's colonial areas were lost, and among these colonies, there were many very important mineral veins and factories.
The war is about materials and money.
These two things are exactly what Sashar and the others lack now.
The military minister of the French port city said in a deep voice:
"The most important thing now is to first determine what is the condition of our transportation lines and where our troops are deployed in those cities."
"I don't believe they will lose so quickly."
"I suggest defending the city, containing Nashadir's army, and preventing him from reinforcing Britain."
Sashar nodded and looked at the map. The French transportation line in Egypt was very long, but there was only one city close to the British colonial area.
In that city, Sashar arranged a heavy guard.
"But our current sea route is also blocked by the Long Yan Army."
"If Long Yanjun still has hundreds of transport ships parked at sea, these are all merchant ships!"
"If the Long Yan Army launches an attack from the sea, not only will our merchant ships be damaged, but when the Long Yan Army seizes the port, we will be attacked from two sides."
"What will we do then?"
As soon as this was said, the whole audience fell into silence.
Yes, the only defense on the port city's coastline was the artillery that forcibly suppressed Long Yan's Yinzhou ship from landing.
This matter is not difficult at all. As long as there are enough artillery, the Longyan fleet will not be able to land.
But forget about those merchant ships in France. These merchant ships will definitely be affected.
It was difficult for any merchant ship to survive.
"This may be the only good news now. The Long Yan fleet besieging our port this time only has seven Yinzhou ships, which is not many."
"In the Mediterranean, our French fleet is always there. I think the Longyan fleet will only confront our fleet and will not actually attack."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, this may be the blessing in misfortune.
"The defense deployed at the port can be a little weaker." Sashar sighed.
"So facing this battle, do you have any other good suggestions?"
Sashar looked up at everyone, hoping to have some good ideas. Now they were passively defensive and wanted a quick victory.
The initiative must be in their hands, otherwise all this will be empty talk.
But if they want the initiative to be in their hands, it means they need to take the initiative, but this means they have to give up their solid walls.
As well as those turrets built to defend against enemy attacks.
You must know that the cavalry under Nashadir's command are known as the Wolf Cavalry.
Very vicious.
No one wanted to face their cavalry on the battlefield.
"Maybe we should consider luring the enemy deeper."
Sashar looked up at the military minister, with a flash of light in his eyes, and rushed to ask: "General, please tell me carefully?"
The military minister walked to the map, pointed at Nashadir's position, and said calmly: "Nashadir's cavalry is very good, but that does not mean that his other arms are also very good."
"As far as I know, Nashadir led troops, mostly cavalry, and it was the Dragon Flame people who made up for the shortcomings of his troops, such as infantry and artillery."
"The initiative is now in their hands, so why don't we lure them to attack. We can't just use cavalry to attack the city."
"As long as Nashadir's other troops are destroyed, Nashadir will definitely be punished by then."
"We can feign an attack and mistakenly think that we are attacking Nashadir's base camp. They are eighty miles away from us."
"This distance is enough for us to operate."
After hearing this plan, Sashar's brows relaxed. He looked at the military minister and said with a smile: "General, this is really a good idea."
"Without the cavalry, Nashadir is like a tiger without teeth. Even if he wants to attack the city, he will not be able to fight with us in front of the battle."
Without the cavalry, the infantry and artillery would have no cover on this plain, and Nashadir would be defeated.
