At this time, on the other side of Egypt.
On Jiang Xuan's battle line.
The main force of France has withdrawn most of its range.
Jiang Xuan's troops are still unstoppable, but as the attack continues to deepen, Long Yan's army will encounter greater resistance.
Jiang Xuan had to stop, and their offensive pace changed to a confrontation.
This forced Jiang Xuan to adjust the supply line.
Now that the Nile River Basin area has been occupied by the Dragon Flame Navy, the British troops have no time to deal with this matter. They were now busy expanding their colonies elsewhere in Africa.
In Africa today, many French colonies have been occupied by Britain.
This gave the French a headache, but there was nothing they could do.
Their current fighting centers are one in Australia and the other in America.
The colonial struggle in Africa is simply incapable of handling it.
Under such circumstances, the Nile River Basin was occupied by Dragon Flame.
The French team, which originally had hope of defeating Long Yan, now has no hope at all.
As soon as the supplies of Longyan arrive, they will change their current combat mode.
From a blitzkrieg to a protracted war, France's main force will continue to be consumed by dragon flames.
Longyan's weapons and unpredictable combat methods have tortured these French troops to exhaustion. If they start a war of attrition.
There may be only one fate for them, and that is inevitable defeat!
In order to reverse this combat situation, Daun could only choose to ambush Longyan's supply ship on the Nile River.
As long as Long Yan's supply line is cut off, Jiang Xuan has only two options, one is to withdraw his troops.
The other is to restore the previous style of play and support war with war.
But now that France's main force has been vacated, the strategy of fighting to support war is no longer useful. If the fight continues like this, the only option waiting for Jiang Xuan is failure.
But Dao En ignored one thing. The Long Yan general he was fighting against was Jiang Xuan.
The ship he is about to attack is also one of the most powerful fleets in the world, Long Yan.
Long Yan's supply ship is also a supply ship even if it is a battleship.
What it has is armor and firepower that the French battleships do not have.
At this moment, on the Nile River.
Long Yan's supply ship didn't even hide its whereabouts, and just sailed on the Nile River like this.
At this time, the French team was already prepared.
Seeing supply ships on the Nile.
They immediately launched an attack, and hundreds of artillery pieces that had been prepared on both sides of the strait were unleashed.
On the exploded Nile River, the water waves lifted up layer after layer.
But the supply ship remained as steady as a rock, moving freely on the swaying water.
After encountering the bombardment, the supply ship immediately launched a counterattack!
The secondary guns on the supply ship are all Longyan's top-notch land artillery.
Neither the range nor the power can be compared to the artillery of the French army.
Under the bombardment of these artillery pieces, the French troops suffered heavy casualties.
However, with such a large hull, the supply ship is like a moving target for the French army.
As long as their cannonballs don't deflect too far.
Basically, they can hit. As long as they attack enough times, Longyan's supply ship can be destroyed by them.
But they overlooked one thing. The supply ship was a steel ship, and the ship was made of Longyan's synthetic metal.
With such a strong hull, they had all forgotten the fierce battle their battleship had when it faced the Longyan supply ship.
Their artillery basically did not cause much damage to the supply ship.
On the contrary, the artillery unit of the French army suffered heavy casualties.
But the French army's attack plan did not rely solely on artillery units.
At this time, three huge French merchant ships sailed in on the Nile River.
These merchant ships were made of wood and were not that expensive to build.
But the three merchant ships are now rushing towards the supply ship as if they don't care about their lives.
Dawn saw the naval battle on the Nile through the telescope and smiled coldly.
The artillery unit's attack was just to limit the speed of their supply ship.
These merchant ships are their trump card!
Dao En watched the naval battle continue and asked his deputy: "Do you think the blocked Nile River can still provide supplies to Jiang Xuan?"
The deputy laughed: "I don't know how to be a general, and Jiang Xuan's troops will be surrounded and killed in our colonial area!"
"No supplies, no support."
"You can't die when you have nothing."
"This will be their greatest despair!"
Dawn nodded, very satisfied with his deputy's answer.
At this moment, these three out-of-control giant merchant ships did not stop under the bombardment of the supply ship, but violently collided with the moving supply ship.
The flow of water on the Nile River was shaken by the collision of these four giant ships.
Boom!
The surface of the river rose, and the huge waves blew all the fish deep in the river into the air!
The French soldiers on the shore quickly protected their heads, but they were still covered in water.
They didn't pay attention to this, but looked at the four ships on the wide sea level, crisscrossed and connected together.
Three giant merchant ships blocked the entire river.
"Oh my God."
"This is the most magnificent scene I have ever seen in my life..."
The French officer snorted coldly and looked at the supply ships colliding together. It would be difficult for the Long Yan Army to reach the supply now.
As for cleaning up the river, it will take an unknown amount of time to clean up the Nile under such circumstances.
Long Yan's supply ship should have been destroyed by such an impact.
That's what they thought.
But what happened next made them feel cold from the soles of their feet to the top of their heads!
The supply ship actually moved, and he swam out from the wreckage of the three giant merchant ships that collided with him.
And looking at the current appearance of the supply ship, it's just that the outer shell has been slightly deformed.
The huge impact caused him very limited damage.
The French were all shocked when they saw this scene, and then looked at the giant merchant ship that had turned into a wreck on the sea.
"This... what kind of monster has been created by Long Yanren."
"It was not destroyed. This is too scary. Oh my god, is Long Yan's technological level so advanced?"
The French commander, seeing this scene, took off his hat.
The shock on his face had turned numb.
…
Dawn, who was observing the battlefield from a distance, watched everything that happened on the battlefield.
I was completely shocked when I saw the huge supply ship swimming out from the wreckage of the merchant ships. I looked at the almost undamaged shell of the supply ship.
This was something that shouldn't have happened at all, but now it was actually happening before his eyes.
The crew on the supply ship were already prepared before suffering a huge impact.
There weren't many accidents.
After the impact, the supply ship felt dizzy inside the cabin.
Although before the impact, they had stopped the advancing steam engine and turned on the opposite steam engine turbine that was running at a reduced speed, trying to reduce the force of the impact to a minimum.
Obviously they succeeded, but the remaining power already made them feel turbulent.
