When the French commander saw the resistance army appearing, a light flashed in his eyes.
But they did not attack immediately.
The resistance forces are still far away from them. If their position is exposed now, they will lose the ability to attack first.
The best option is to wait for the resistance forces to approach and then attack quickly.
The resistance army marched very cautiously, but this did not arouse the suspicion of the French commander. Any smart commander knew that there was no harm in being cautious.
Even if they are the vanguard, they will have a clear exploration of the surrounding environment.
It's best to be careful. After all, no one can guarantee that there will really be no problems at all in these places.
The vanguard may not be able to explore all places.
The resistance march is slow, but now they are within range!
The French commander narrowed his eyes slightly, stared closely at the resistance troops, and murmured in a low voice: "Wait, wait!"
Now is not the best time to attack.
If they want to defeat the Resistance Army, this attack distance is enough.
But the purpose of their battle is to wipe out the resistance forces in one fell swoop, not simply defeat them.
All their efforts to defeat them and wait for the resistance forces to evacuate into the jungle will be in vain!
At this moment, the French commander suddenly saw the resistance troops, squatting down and setting up their guns, and the place where their guns were pointed was in their direction.
The French commander’s face changed drastically!
boom! boom! boom!
The resistance army led by Li He took the lead. They wanted to cripple the French troops as soon as possible!
Li He adopted a crushing tactic. Five thousand soldiers formed two lines and launched a fierce attack on the ambush of the French army.
Such an attack quickly produced results.
Although it was an ambush, the French army lost the opportunity to attack first.
They have completely lost the opportunity in this battle. Under such circumstances, the French army has no way to achieve corresponding results.
After being attacked by the resistance forces, blood mist suddenly erupted on the grass.
The French army immediately fought back. Although their preparations were sufficient, it had no effect this time.
The Resistance Army launched a fierce attack after gaining the upper hand.
Their French troops were beaten to the point where they were completely unable to fight back.
The French commander was even more confused. He had no idea what was going on and why the resistance army knew where they were ambushing.
But now is no longer the time to dwell on this. The top priority now is to resolve this battle.
Under such an intensive attack, their troops have suffered heavy casualties. Talking about annihilating the resistance forces is just nonsense.
There are only two options before the French commander.
One is to fight the resistance to the end, but they have lost the opportunity in this battle. Continuing to fight will cause too many casualties for them. Such losses are not something he can accept.
The other option is to retreat temporarily, conserve strength, and continue to wait for opportunities on this grassland.
Fighting a battle of annihilation with the Resistance Army.
The French commander almost didn't think twice and naturally chose the latter.
"retreat!"
"retreat!"
The French soldiers in ambush retreated while fighting.
Minimize casualties as much as possible.
Regarding the withdrawal of the French troops, the Resistance Army did not choose to pursue it.
Li He's purpose in the beginning of the war was to defeat the French troops who blocked them and temporarily get them out of the war.
The range of grasslands behind the Great Dividing Range is very vast.
As long as they win this battle and can gain a firm foothold, the subsequent battles will be much easier for them.
The French troops retreated in an orderly manner and they did not pursue.
This small-scale ambush ended with their victory.
This battle was not a tough one for them, because they had the upper hand and their attack went smoothly.
Their casualties were not too great.
But everyone in the Resistance Army knows that this journey will not be easy, and the French army has discovered their itinerary.
If this unit is not wiped out, it means that they will march in the future.
I can't even sleep well.
After thinking of this, the faces of the soldiers in the Resistance Army became more vigilant.
Li He naturally knew the crisis they would face next.
Marching on such a wide grassland with no shelter, it was easy to expose their marching route.
Moreover, this is a grassland that almost no one has set foot on, and the resources there are not as rich as in the jungle.
There was not much food left.
But they didn't know how long they would have to walk next.
They didn't carry much gunpowder, and the disadvantage of cold weapons was very obvious in the grassland.
If they encounter the French army next time, they may be defeated by the French army just for their weapons.
What they will face next is a more difficult journey!
…
At this time, there was another place on the battlefield.
"General, more and more refugees are gathering below the city. Many of them are their relatives in the city. If this continues, something may happen."
General Li frowned. The state of their city was not good either.
Because it was a battle to defend the city, there was no fighting outside the city with the French soldiers.
They closed the city gates tightly, and the French army relied on the refugees to encircle the city of Sydney. This caused the city to lose supplies from outside, and the supplies in the city were highly stressed.
Now the city has begun to implement the distribution system.
"Let refugees come in now and our inner cities in Sydney will completely collapse."
"Do you think there is enough food in our city?"
The staff officer did not continue talking. They were all very nervous about food now, let alone after the refugees came in.
After the refugees come in, resources will be even more stretched.
General Li looked at the map and thought for a moment: "In this way, we can organize a small army and blend into the refugees to make them want to steal food from the French army."
"To Sydney Harbour!"
"These refugees were originally created by the French army, and they should bear the bitter consequences."
The staff officer added: "Those immigrants are more afraid of them than us."
"Then let them have weapons in their hands and give them the ability to resist!"
The staff officer looked at the murderous intent revealed in General Li's eyes, which made him feel horrified.
To him, General Li now seemed to be an emotionless person.
If those refugees had weapons in their hands, they would definitely riot.
"If those refugees riot, we will suffer too, General!"
Old General Li snorted and said, "But we don't have food, the French army does. It's not difficult to let these immigrants know this reality!"
"You see a group of hungry refugees with weapons in their hands. What will they do when faced with the French army who plundered their food and property?"
"They will tear the French army apart!"
