Right now, Egypt.
Battle of Port-de-France.
The outcome of the first day's battle was undecided. Nashadir had a slight upper hand and opened a hole in the French encirclement.
The Liangzhou cavalry came for reinforcements.
In this war, Sashar predicted that they had no way to continue to surround Nashadir and could only declare the hitting power.
He wanted to annihilate Nashadir on the frontal battlefield.
But where Nashadir's reinforcements arrived, Sashar's troops continued to fight fiercely.
It wasn't until dark that the two sides stopped fighting.
But so far, both sides have suffered serious losses. Neither side has taken advantage of this strategy.
Sashar was filled with uneasiness.
It is inevitable that this war will become a protracted war.
This is not good for them, but now they really have no better way.
Fortunately, they have a lot of supplies stored in the city, so even if it is a protracted war, they can last at least a month.
On the other side, Nashadir's face looked very ugly when he returned to the military camp.
This time they attacked, but they did not gain the absolute upper hand. Apart from annihilating 8,000 French cavalry, they had no other achievements.
Although on the battlefield, Sashar's losses were higher than those of Nashadir.
But in this war, Nashadir's weapons and equipment were more sophisticated, and they even had the invincible Dragon Flame siege cannon.
Nashadir, who had a great advantage, became furious instantly after seeing the results of his victory.
In his opinion, they lost the first battle.
"We were armed with the most advanced weapons in the world. We went to attack a port city. We didn't achieve anything but let the other side kill 6,000 of us."
"Why do you have the nerve to stand here!"
Nashadir roared at the general under his command.
Everyone was silent. With such a fighting situation, they had nothing to say.
Nashadir breathed out, sat down, looked up at these officers with dull faces, and said coldly: "Let's all tell the reasons for this defeat."
A man came up and said: "I think our siege artillery is too weak..."
"Then you are dismissed. You will be an artilleryman today, and you will be the next one." Nashadir said coldly.
"Why! Isn't it true that the Dragon Flame Siege Cannon played no role in this battle?"
Nashadir looked at him indifferently: "Long Yan's siege cannon is the most advanced siege cannon in the world. It can't break the city wall, which only means that the city wall is strong enough."
"That's not the main reason for our failure."
"continue."
The next officer glanced at Nashadir twice, and then said: "I think our troops were ambushed, which led to the subsequent results of the battle."
Nashadir's expression softened a bit and he looked at him.
He said next: "I think our scouts were not strong enough and did not get first-hand information."
Hearing these words, Nashadir's face immediately dropped.
After he breathed sweet fragrance and cordially greeted all the women in the other party's family, Nashadir said coldly: "If only we could know all Sashar's arrangements."
"You will direct this war!"
The officer was speechless for a moment.
Nashadir glanced at him and said coldly again: "Throw him away, let him become an ordinary soldier."
Nashadir glanced at everyone and said calmly: "Can anyone tell me the reason why this battle failed?"
After Nashadir's two generals were dismissed, everyone fell silent.
Dare not say a word.
They didn't know what to say either.
Nashadir glanced at them and said calmly: "There is an old saying in Longyan, one general is incompetent and the three armies will be exhausted!"
"In this battle, I ordered the pursuit. Although the enemy paid a heavy price, we were completely unprepared when we attacked the city."
"I even forgot how to attack. I only knew how to charge forward. The failure of this battle is my responsibility. Do you understand?"
As soon as these words came out, there was even greater silence in the audience.
Everyone looked at Nashadir blankly, not expecting him to say that he was the one most responsible for the failure of this battle.
Nashadir put down his military emblem and sighed: "My command was wrong."
"General, you..." Everyone looked at Nashadir's move and felt inexplicably moved in their hearts.
Nashadir waved his hand to stop what they were about to say.
"This is my favorite badge. If I don't win this battle, I will never take it away."
Everyone was stunned. This badge symbolized the honor of Nashadir.
They wanted to say something, but Nashadir didn't give them a chance to speak.
"Okay, the war is not over yet, the chief of staff is here to get the map." Nashadir said in a deep voice.
Soon a map was hung in the military camp.
Nashadir stood in front of the map. This map was redrawn by Nashadir and his people at the beginning of the battle.
More detailed than the maps he had drawn before.
"Port-France is located in a plain area. The valley is not easy to defend and difficult to attack. There are no natural dangerous places to guard."
"There is a port behind this city, but our current Longyan fleet can only blockade their ships and cannot attack."
"The city has three high walls, and there is only a depression on the west side."
"There are fifty forts located two hundred meters away from the city."
"The current situation is like this. The specific situation depends on the situation." Nashadir said solemnly.
Everyone frowned, this city should be easy to attack.
The plains are wide and suitable for cavalry charges, and it is not difficult to attack without danger.
However, the forts built by Sachar and the outrageously thick city walls left the cavalry with little room for use.
After thinking for a moment, Nashadir said: "My idea is that the Liangzhou cavalry charge from the left and right sides to kill the enemy."
"First pull out the fort, and then find a way to attack the city."
"If you want to attack the city, you can only use these two methods, ladders and shuttles. There is no way to break through the city walls built by Sashar."
"Only our soldiers are on board."
After the generals thought for a while, someone said: "I think this method is good, but now we don't know how many enemy troops are in the port."
"I'm afraid that when the time comes, we can even climb into the city and open the inner city gates, as well as the inner city."
"In that case, our victory may be wiped out in less than a day."
Nashadir nodded. It was indeed possible. According to Sashar's caution, it wouldn't be too surprising if he built an inner city.
Nashadir pondered, and it seemed that it would be extremely difficult to break the city now.
What if the city is besieged?
Surrounded for ten days and a half, and when the time comes for a massive attack, the people inside will definitely be weak by then.
Someone immediately suggested: "What if we besiege the city?"
Everyone's eyes lit up.
Nashadir said in a deep voice: "No."
