Nashadir rushed back to Cairo.
The siege of the city has come to an end for the time being.
He told Jiang Xuan the news here. After Jiang Xuan read it, he wrote the word "Chuan" between his eyebrows.
The front formed by the three mining areas occupied by France was difficult to break.
Moreover, these four mining areas are all located in the interior of Africa, backed by the French colony, and are too far away from the city of Cairo.
If we send out a large army to attack, we must cross the desert.
As a result, the transportation line will be very unstable, and they must overcome dangers that may appear at any time in the desert.
Not only that, the mining area is located in a mountain range, and mountain warfare is inevitable. If you are not familiar with the terrain, you will definitely suffer heavy losses if you engage in mountain warfare with the enemy.
Long Yanjun is not afraid of any challenge.
But as the commander-in-chief of the Long Yan Army, Jiang Xuan must be responsible for the soldiers.
A forceful attack is impossible.
To defeat the enemy, Jiang Xuan must find another way. Jiang Xuan fell into deep thought.
After thinking for a long time, Jiang Xuan finally looked at Nashadir and said in a deep voice: "Nashadir, maybe we need..."
…
At this time, Europe.
Hannover.
The Long Yan Army led by Ling Chen went deep into Prussia to suppress the bandits.
However, those bandits or some remaining French-Austrian alliance forces, in Ling Chen's opinion, they were just a bunch of people who wanted to sell their heads for profit.
There is no fighting ability at all.
Ling Chen only led 3,000 light cavalry troops on this expedition and did not bring any dragon flame cannons.
At the beginning, these bandit armies thought they were supported by the Franco-Austrian alliance, had a large number of weapons on hand, and thought they were well-equipped.
Prussia also sent out troops to conquer them, but the current Prussian army can mobilize very few troops. Coupled with the long years of war, these soldiers are extremely tired.
After a battle, this Prussian army of only a hundred people had to retreat due to reasons such as numbers and weapons and equipment!
In this way, the bandit army was full of confidence. After winning this battle, they always thought that they were just bandits. Compared with the Prussian army that had experienced countless battles, they were just bandits.
They had natural fear, but they didn't expect that they actually won, and they won by a big margin.
When they learned that Ling Chen was launching a campaign against them, these bandit army leaders smiled disdainfully.
"Dragon Flame Army? Which one is more powerful, the Dragon Flame Army or the Prussian army?"
"Forget it, it's all the same anyway, they are all dead souls shot by me!"
These bandit troops smiled disdainfully and had no fear at all towards Long Yan's army. They had no idea what kind of enemy they were facing.
The bandit army didn't take Long Yan's army's bandit suppression operations seriously at all.
They believed that there was not much difference between the Long Yan Army and the Prussian Army. They were both vulnerable troops.
Facing their arrogance, Ling Chen smiled contemptuously.
He looked through the telescope at the bandit camp on the top of the mountain and directly ordered a charge.
Three thousand light cavalry troops launched an attack on the low hills. The bandits also saw billowing smoke and dust coming from the mountain stronghold, and among the smoke and dust they saw an unstoppable cavalry team.
Facing such a charge, the bandit looked stunned.
They knew that war horses were good things, but they had never seen so many war horses.
The only bandit staff officer who had read a few books looked at the horses and counted them with his fingers: "One, two, three..."
I suddenly discovered that my fingers and toes were not enough.
"These have at least twenty war horses!" the bandit exclaimed!
The bandits were stunned for a moment, looking at the charging Long Yan light cavalry ahead with incredulous eyes. There were more than twenty war horses, which was already an unimaginable number for them.
There was only one war horse in their camp, a lame horse left by the French. It was injured on one leg. Although the injury was healed, it was still lame when walking.
But even so, the bandit boss regarded them as treasures.
Now seeing so many war horses in the Long Yan Army, their hearts felt hot.
The bandit leader was even more greedy: "Brothers, set up cannons and snatch their horses!"
The bandits set up artillery supported by the French. This weapon played an unimaginable role in the battle with many bandits.
The cannonballs are very powerful.
This is also one of the things that the bandit army relies on here.
The bandits aimed at Ling Chen's troops and immediately launched artillery fire.
But on the hill, the field of view was wide and there were no obstacles. The light cavalry was extremely fast, and the bandit army's shells did not hit Ling Chen's troops at all.
Seeing this scene, the bandit leader was stunned. The artillery that had always been invincible actually lost its power when facing the charge of Long Yanjun. of
The bandit leader's expression changed, and he immediately saw that these Dragon Flame light cavalry were about to kill them soon.
"Get on the Musketeers!"
The bandit leader shouted anxiously.
The musket was also a great weapon left to them by the French. This thing called a musket had an extremely long range and was much easier to use than any other spear or spear.
Moreover, the attack power is so strong that even the armor worn by heavily armored soldiers looks like paper.
It only takes one hit to shatter.
Thinking of this, the bandit leader smiled proudly.
The French left them a lot of muskets and bullets, with which he could dominate this place.
"emission!"
The bandit commander gave the order, and the bandit pulled the trigger and fired the bullet.
But the muskets, which once had an extremely long range, did not instantly shatter their armor as the bandit commander expected.
On the contrary, the Long Yan Army continued to charge as if nothing was wrong.
Seeing this scene, the bandit leader was completely shocked.
Ling Chen was slightly startled when he saw these bandits taking out artillery and muskets to attack at the same time.
I didn't expect these bandits to have so much equipment.
But in Ling Chen's opinion, these equipment have been exposed and have lost their value.
Artillery poses no threat to them at all.
As for the musket, the attack range of the musket is too tight to shoot from such a long distance.
Not a single bullet from the musket could hit them. Ling Chen couldn't help but laugh when he saw the way these bandits attacked.
He immediately ordered the light cavalry to use bows and arrows.
A wave of crossbow arrows fell like raindrops in the sky.
The bandit leader looked at the arrows falling from the sky and his face froze. He had never seen such a scene before.
Arrows fell from the sky like a gust of wind and rain.
The panicked bandits didn't know where to hide. Just a wave of arrows killed many bandits.
After a wave of arrows, Ling Chen's light cavalry army also charged.
Under the overwhelming offensive, the bandits simply couldn't resist.
The bandit leader's life was taken away by Ling Chen in an instant. Even when he died, he couldn't understand why there was such a big gap in the combat effectiveness between the Long Yan Army and the Prussian Army.
