At this time, the other side of the battlefield.
The troops led by Nashadir have also arrived on the battlefield at this moment.
But when he saw the French soldiers in the outpost in front, he was slightly startled.
The French troops did not go to support the outpost!
Nashadir's expression changed slightly, but he quickly regained his composure. He ordered: "The whole army is ready to launch an attack!"
The Egyptian forces immediately launched an attack, and Nashadir's small force was equipped with more firepower than Sean's force.
His sudden attack directly caused casualties to the French troops.
Nashadir was worthy of being an expert in surprise attacks. After the bombardment, he immediately commanded the shield soldiers to attack.
Avoid the appearance of swamps and harm the entire army.
At this time, the outpost under attack also lit up the smoke.
Nashadir's current task is to delay the strength of these two outposts, but Nashadir wants a quick victory.
His force was only four thousand men.
The enemy's strength is about 1,800, and the strength comparison is basically one to two.
But then Nashadir would have to be attacked by at least 2,000 troops. Calculated in this way, their troops did not have any advantage.
Nashadir's troops fought quickly and caught the French troops by surprise.
There is not much suspense in this battle, and Nashadir will soon win the battle.
Under Nashadir's crazy attack, the traps laid out by the outpost were almost useless.
And the troops will soon be defeated by Nashadir's battle.
After an hour, Nashadir had ended this battle with a huge disparity in strength.
But now, Nashadir felt a little uneasy in his heart.
Without any hesitation, he immediately led his troops to pursue the victory and attack another outpost.
But when Nashadir arrived, there were no French soldiers in the outpost.
Seeing this scene, his heart skipped a beat.
A terrifying thought formed in his mind, that he had fallen into a trap.
After they saw the smoke, they did not choose to support the outpost, but chose to support the arsenal!
Nashadir was ambushed near the right outpost by chance, and arrived an hour after watching the smoke ignited. At that time, the troops at the right outpost did not go to support the arsenal, but were just about to set off.
After thinking of this, Nashadir made adjustments: "Quick, let's rush to the arsenal now!"
The worst case scenario occurs. Although Nashadir does not think that their troops will lose, the casualties will be very heavy!
The troops led by Sean and Henry numbered 6,000 people. After experiencing the battle with the outpost, the number of troops must have been reduced.
The current strength of the arsenal is about 3,000. If the strength of the outpost is added, it will be much more.
The most optimistic situation for Sean and Henry's troops is to be equal to the enemy's strength.
But this also means they lose their advantage.
Only after your own troops arrive can this disadvantage be reversed little by little!
…
And at this moment.
After Sean's troops arrived, he was slightly stunned.
A large group of French soldiers had already gathered outside the arsenal. It didn't look like there were only three thousand people.
Henry looked at these French soldiers who appeared out of nowhere in astonishment and said in a deep voice: "We have fallen into a trap!"
"They should be soldiers at the outpost. After seeing the smoke, they did not choose to support other outposts, but directly supported the arsenal!"
"Our current strength is about five thousand people capable of fighting, which is basically the same as the opponent's strength!"
"Then what should we do now?" Sean asked: "Nashadir must also know this information. Do we have to wait for his rendezvous?"
Henry shook his head and said: "It's too late. If we wait for him to join up, we will miss the best attack time, and we will lose this war."
"The French army will most likely send other reinforcements."
"We can't wait any longer, we must launch an attack as soon as possible!"
"Time is precious!"
Sean's eyes were bumping and he was hesitant. The outpost was the French army closest to the arsenal, but there were also French troops further away.
If they are supporting the arsenal now.
This time the battle will be a complete failure!
Sean gritted his teeth and said, "Attack!"
Henry shouted: "Attack!"
The surviving Egyptian soldiers rushed to the battlefield, and the newly captured artillery came in handy. A total of seven artillery pieces burst out with fierce bombardment.
Now the troops of both sides are evenly matched, and the Egyptian troops do not have any advantage in terms of strength.
But in terms of weapons and equipment, they have advantages that the Egyptian army does not have.
The French army pulled out seventeen artillery pieces and fired them all!
The soldiers of the Egyptian army were immediately wounded.
Seeing so many artillery pieces, Sean was very anxious. This was a grassland area. No matter how powerful the artillery was, it would be useless against a cavalry attack.
Sean ordered: "The cavalry blocks the artillery..."
Before he finished speaking, he was stopped by Henry on the side.
Sean looked at him doubtfully and asked, "Why?"
Henry said coldly: "You forget that there is a swamp here. If our cavalry falls into the swamp, they will lose their maximum ability!"
"Then they will be the targets of these artillerymen!"
Sean woke up after being scolded, but looking at the growing casualties on the battlefield, he could only bear the pain and said: "I know."
"The crossbowmen cover the shield soldiers and find the swamps on the battlefield!"
Sean gave another order.
But the battlefield was already in chaos at this moment, and it was very difficult for Sean's order to advance.
The Egyptian forces were torn apart by the French.
The firepower of the Egyptian army was obviously inferior to that of the French army, and they were suppressed unilaterally.
But after two months of training, the Egyptian troops became more organized in their operations.
Even in the face of such a dilemma, they still showed an amazing sense of fighting.
Although the French forces had the upper hand, they were intimidated by Egypt's determination to fight to the death.
There was a stalemate on the battlefield. Seeing this scene, Sean gritted his teeth. As a commander, he wished he could go to the battlefield in person and teach the French troops a lesson.
But Henry on the side suppressed him severely and told him not to be impulsive!
The commander's duty is to direct the soldiers to fight and win the war. Therefore, as a commander, no matter what happens on the battlefield, you must be calm and make the most accurate judgment.
Acting on emotions will only lead to failure in this battle.
Sean took a few deep breaths, calmed down, and looked at the situation on the battlefield. The enemy's main attack point of firepower was artillery, but at this distance, if the artillery could be knocked out.
The situation on the battlefield will change.
Thinking of this, Sean ordered in a deep voice: "Crossbowmen, musketeers, concentrate fire on the opponent's artillerymen!"
On the battlefield now, the only way they can attack the opponent's artillery is with muskets and crossbowmen. Although the attack range of the artillery is sufficient, these artillery are not as accurate as the Dragon Flame artillery!
