Miao Dao.
Although it is long, it is still a knife, and its attack methods are more varied and weird.
Even because the French cavalry were half a height taller than them on horseback, these artillerymen could use their swords to attack the cavalry's weak spots.
Horse legs!
Although the cavalry is powerful, it is difficult for infantry to survive under their charge.
With super high mobility, the cavalry is fearless when encountering all current arms on the battlefield.
The cavalry even has heavy cavalry with both offensive and defensive capabilities. They sacrifice a little speed, but in exchange they gain unrivaled defensive capabilities.
Infantry will have a hard time killing armed cavalry.
But there is a fatal danger for cavalry, which is the horse's legs.
This is the weakest point on a war horse, and many traps prepared for cavalry focus on the horse's legs.
At this moment, the artillery team holding Miao knives, after resisting repeatedly, slashed the horse's legs with their knives at the charging French cavalry.
The French cavalry shouted bad.
But they were unable to dodge, and the horses after launching the charge were destined to be difficult to control.
boom!
The Miao knife was extremely sharp. The French war horse hit the Miao knife, and the horse made a heart-rending roar.
The horse's head suddenly fell to the ground.
The French cavalry also fell off their horses.
A cavalry without a horse is nothing more than an infantryman armed with a spear.
Nothing to fear at all!
Sashar watched as the cavalry he sent out had been partly killed by Nashadir's artillery.
Suddenly he roared: "These trash!"
But soon, Sashar realized that something was wrong.
Their artillery is equipped with swords and shields. Due to the special reasons of the artillery, long guns are not suitable for equipping, so they are not equipped with any long-handled weapons.
But these artillerymen are equipped with long knives.
The length of this long knife is exaggerated to the point of frightening.
Sashar's face turned cold. Although he didn't know what this weapon was, he did provide the basic conditions for Nashadir's artillery to use infantry and cavalry!
Super long attack distance.
As well as being more flexible by the spear, the attack range of the knife is the distance covered by the entire blade.
Although the spear's attack is fast and accurate, it is relatively single and cannot attack in a large area.
"What is this weapon?" Sashar said in a deep voice.
The French generals stood on the city wall and were still deeply shocked when they saw the artillerymen killing the cavalry with their long swords.
Fighting on foot and on horseback is a feat that is almost impossible to accomplish without an ambush.
Their thoughts were brought back by Sashar.
Looking at the exaggerated length of the knife, they all shook their heads.
"have no idea……"
Sashar frowned slightly and glanced at the senior French general stationed in Egypt, feeling very disappointed.
At this moment, a heavy voice sounded.
"It's the Miao Dao, Long Yan's Miao Dao!"
Sashar's pupils shrank. He had never heard of this kind of weapon. He followed the sound and looked over.
An old, but still mighty French officer stared at the battlefield.
Sashar asked in a deep voice: "Minister of the Military, what is a Miao Dao?"
"An ancient weapon from Long Yan. The blade is long and slender. I don't know the details, but what is certain is that this kind of sword has existed in Long Yan for a long time."
"A long time ago, this kind of knife only appeared on the ancient battlefield of Long Yan, but because this kind of knife can only be used on special battlefields."
"According to the ancient book I read, it was invented by Long Yan, a general who fought against foreigners."
"What!" Sashar's eyes widened, unable to accept this fact.
Since the industrial revolution, even the military has been reformed, with musketeers, artillery, etc. added to the arms.
France has specially developed weapons for close combat for these troops.
Swords and shields are easier to carry, but they are also weapons developed based on infantry.
The combat effectiveness is only the standard of infantry.
However, Long Yan's Miao Dao gave these artillerymen the possibility of fighting on foot.
"Miao Dao..." A trace of envy flashed in Sashar's eyes.
He looked at the Nashadir artillerymen wielding swords on the battlefield, and then said: "Send an additional infantry team and cavalry team to besiege them."
"yes!"
Soon a group of infantry and cavalry entered the battlefield.
The artillery and tanks cooperated, and they were evenly matched.
But at this moment, on the battlefield, the main offensive area, the phalanx outside and inside Nashadir, was under fierce counterattack.
France's artillery was now restricted due to the changes in the battlefield, which contained his assault tanks and dragon flame artillery.
At this moment, the French battery immediately got rid of the explosive-laden assault tank and turned to attack Nashadir's phalanx.
Suddenly there was a barrage of artillery fire.
Countless shells exploded from the sky.
Under the fierce artillery attack, Nashadir's overwhelming phalanx was torn open.
Countless French cavalry rushed in.
The outer and inner circles of Nashadir's battle array were completely shattered.
Upon seeing this, Nashadir's expression did not change and he ordered in a deep voice: "Change the formation and split into a circular formation to break out!"
Beat the drums!
Hearing the drum beat, Narshadir's troops departed for change.
The torn and divided battle formation could not be put back together at this moment. Fortunately, the divided troops came together to form a circular formation.
There are still shield soldiers outside, followed by pike infantry.
The Musketeers are at the end.
If there are no shield soldiers, the pike infantry will be in a semi-crouching state. The three layers of pike infantry will squat or fight to form a battle formation and advance steadily.
Although the French army tore apart Nashadir's troops, they found that these divided Nashadir troops seemed more difficult to deal with.
The French infantry charged, but found little effect indeed.
It's not that the spears of his Nashadir troops are longer, but that after they form a formation, their organized and regular attacks are simply difficult to resist.
The pike infantry covered the crossbowmen and musketeers, and acted as shield soldiers to launch offensives when they were out of crossbows and bullets.
When the crossbowmen and musketeers attacked, their long-range attacks could just cover the advance of these pikemen.
Although the progress is slow, the front is advancing little by little!
When Sashar saw this scene, he was immediately furious: "What on earth did Nashadir learn from the Dragon Flame people!"
"Why are there so many weird things!"
The military minister stared at the battlefield and observed the organization of Nashadir's troops. He was shocked!
Although I don’t know how Nashadir trained this troop, such a troop that obeys orders and knows how to mobilize is definitely a terrifying weapon on the battlefield!
The military minister said in a deep voice: "Order the musketeers to attack the infantry, and at the same time have the soldiers prepare weapons to defend the city."
"Defend the city, minister, do you think we will be attacked by Nashadir troops on the city wall!" Sashar said in a deep voice.
The military minister gave him a complicated look and said, "Yes, I think so."
