Under the command of Sean, the Egyptian troops' offensive achieved certain results.
The artillerymen of the French army encountered attacks from muskets or rockets.
Especially the rocket attack. This thing is on fire, and there are many shells around the artillery. The shells are afraid of being detonated by fire.
The Egyptian crossbowmen didn't know where they learned to use their feet to pull the hard bow, and the arrows they shot could travel much farther.
And this way of archery makes it possible for the crossbow to hit the artillery.
Although the accuracy is much different, the answer is that an arrow with fire can burst out a huge explosion as long as it lands on the surrounding shells containing black powder.
Not only can it destroy the artillery of the French army, but it can also kill the artillery crew.
The weight of the artillery made it impossible to carry it around at will. Under the attack method of the Egyptian crossbowmen, the French artillery was temporarily suppressed.
At this time, the infantry and shield soldiers of the Egyptian army launched an attack, clearing the way for the Egyptian cavalry.
The trap in the swamp was discovered, giving the Egyptian cavalry an opportunity to attack.
The Egyptian cavalry is still composed of warriors from the Wahhara tribe, and the cavalry's equestrian skills can be said to be outstanding.
The role that such a cavalry unit can play on the battlefield is huge.
Under the charge of the Egyptian cavalry, the disadvantage on the battlefield was reversed bit by bit.
Seeing this scene, Sean breathed a sigh of relief. He slowly exhaled and suppressed his excitement. He commanded calmly: "The infantry changes formation and covers the cavalry's advance!"
Henry nodded when he saw Sean's change.
Although Sean previously led the allied army of the Sugra tribe.
But he has no commanding ability in combat. This can be seen from the cooperation with Nashadir in those granaries, and then the cooperation with Nashadir to block the French troops.
Although Sean was the commander-in-chief of the Socratic Alliance Army at that time, he did not know how to command at all.
At that time, the troops led by Sean did not have any decent weapons.
Although they were sanctioned by the French, the Wahala tribe, which was much behind the Sugra tribe, could find weapons. Sugra's tribe actually didn't have a few decent weapons, not even war horses. This can be seen from this. , Sean's dereliction of duty as the commander-in-chief.
But compared to that time, Sean is completely different. Sean is more than capable of commanding troops now, but he lacks the corresponding experience.
Many of his ideas are actually infinitely close to the current combat methods, and he can also judge the key points of the attack. These alone allow him to lead the troops.
On the battlefield, the Egyptian troops have gradually gained a slight advantage.
The cavalry of the French army was sparse and could not affect the situation of the battle for the time being.
At this time, the French army transferred a lot of muskets and artillery from the arsenal.
Seeing the appearance of these weapons, even Henry's expression changed.
They seemed to have forgotten that the French army guarded an entire arsenal with an astonishing number of artillery pieces.
It's just that their heavy bodies are difficult to move.
But now, as these artillery pieces join the battlefield, the slim advantage Egypt has established will be broken again.
Just at this time.
An Egyptian army came out from the distance, led by Nashadir.
Seeing them appear, Henry and Sean were startled at first, and then showed joy. Their reinforcements had arrived, and their strength would crush the opponent in this battle.
"kill!"
With the Nashadir troops joining the battlefield, the balance of victory once again tilted.
When the French commander saw these troops suddenly appearing, his face froze and he shouted: "Attack!"
The French army launched a more violent attack, but it was already too late.
After Nashadir's troops joined the battlefield, they first used cavalry to block their retreat.
Take advantage of their strength to crush them.
In this battle, the French army was crushed by the Egyptian army due to its superior strength.
The battle ended quickly.
Looking at the mess on the battlefield, Sean did not show the same collapse as last time. He exhaled calmly and said in a deep voice: "It's all over now."
"We won, a real victory!"
Henry patted him on the shoulder and said: "Your command is great. At least in battlefield battles, you behave like a qualified commander."
Sean turned to look at Henry, smiled and said, "Thank you for your compliments, and thank you for being there to help me."
Henry didn't speak, and Sean directed the troops to quickly clean the battlefield.
Nashadir led his troops into the arsenal and saw the weapons piled inside.
Nashadir breathed a sigh of relief. They had been planning this battle for more than two months.
Now that they have obtained so many weapons and equipment, their Egyptian troops will also be fully armed, and they will truly have the qualifications to compete with the French army.
Nashadir said in a deep voice: "Take away the weapons here that can be taken away, and destroy those that cannot be taken away!"
"It is very likely that French troops will provide support in a short time."
"yes!"
The Egyptian troops immediately cleared the battlefield. They took away most of the weapons and equipment. Behind each war horse was an artillery piece or something else.
The remaining weapons and equipment that could not be moved were all spent by Nashadir.
The sky was lit up by soaring flames. It was still dark when they set out, and it was also dark when they returned.
Both the fire and the smoke that had been ignited alerted the French troops here when they sent troops over.
The place was in ruins and thick smoke was billowing from their arsenal.
The French general's brows twitched: "Check who saw it!"
"General, look..."
The French general looked in the direction of his finger. On a stone wall that had not yet been damaged by burning, bright red characters formed a sentence.
Get out of Egypt, you damn colonists!
Nashadirliu...
Seeing this sentence, the veins on the French general's forehead bulged high.
"Nashadir!"
This arsenal is a very important supply point for their French army to fight against the Longyan Army, but now everything has been turned into ashes by the Egyptian army.
He was furious!
The next day, Jiang Xuan, who was fighting against the French army, received an urgent secret report.
A very important arsenal in the French colonial area was burned by Egyptian troops.
This matter has been confirmed to be done by Nashadir...
Seeing such information, Jiang Xuan narrowed his eyes and murmured: "I'm just telling you, how could a cunning desert fox like you die so easily."
Jiang Xuan closed the letter and looked at the French troops in the distance. Their arsenal was consumed and their supplies were cut off.
Now is a good time to use up their shells.
"The whole army obeys the order!"
"Feint attack, consume the enemy's artillery fire!"
