boom! boom! boom……
Leonard looked at another section of the French defense line, and the unfamiliar French troops appeared on the horizon.
This team was very unfamiliar, but he knew the person at the front very well.
"It's Harris!"
"It's the general. He's here to support us. Brothers, charge!"
The troops led by Leonard were in high spirits and they charged without fear of death.
The French troops were stunned.
They were attacked from both sides and had no choice but to mobilize their forces to resist another army.
They launched the attack on top of a makeshift wall.
There is also a specially built horse-rejection barrier for cavalry below. Standing on the city wall and facing Leonard's cavalry attack will not be harmed.
Such building construction can directly render the cavalry's charge useless.
After all, most of Leonard's cavalry held spears, not muskets.
They can't do them any harm.
But this sudden appearance of the army not only had muskets, but also artillery for siege.
These temporary walls they built have no way to withstand the opponent's artillery, and they have no effect at all.
It can even be said that they are like targets.
Facing another army, the French commander could only hastily let other troops go out to fight.
Their troops fought in two parts, and the French troops, who were originally in a good situation, were now at a disadvantage.
They were sandwiched between the two armies like hot dogs.
The situation on the battlefield changed, but the fight was very intense.
Whether it is Leonard, Harris, or Nashadir, they all know very well that they must end this battle quickly.
It is an indisputable fact that Leonard's troops rebelled.
The French army must have noticed it now, otherwise they would not have strengthened their defenses so quickly. After a while, reinforcements from the French army may arrive.
They must end the battle before this happens.
On the human battlefield on Leonard's side, the horse and city walls played a very good role.
But this situation did not last long before Harris' artillery blasted the city wall to pieces.
A gap appeared in the shattered city wall, which was an opportunity for Leonard.
As long as they occupy the gap in the city wall, they can quickly pass through the defense line.
This is a temporary pass established by the French army. It is not perfect. There is only a city wall and no military camp behind it.
However, it was still very difficult for Leonard to pass through the gap that was blown out of the city wall. Their troops had no way to launch a charge at this time.
Although Nashadir's troops were attacking on the other side and containing the troops, it was obvious that the commander of the French army had already made plans.
They must be destroyed first, so the attack firepower on Leonard will be even faster!
But what the French army did not expect was that the firepower of Nashadir's troops was not inferior at all.
He saw that Nashadir's troops had brought fifteen artillery pieces, and a strong bombardment broke out at this moment.
At this distance and with this accuracy, the hit rate of fifteen artillery pieces can be said to be shockingly low, but they cannot withstand the desperate offensive trend of fifteen artillery pieces.
Under such an offensive method, the French troops were completely unable to fight back.
The French commander had to divide his forces to face the attack of Nashadir's troops.
If this firepower point is not suppressed, France's defense line will soon be defeated.
As soon as the firepower here was reduced, Leonard's troops were given the opportunity to counterattack.
Leonard on the other side took the opportunity to rush towards the gap created by the bombardment.
The French commander said urgently: "Stop them!"
But it was too late now, Leonard's troops had already passed through the gap.
The gap was occupied, and the situation was reversed. The cold weapons that had not been put to use were now directly facing the French army on the city wall.
These cold weapons can finally be put to use, although muskets are useful in close combat.
But under the iron cavalry and horses, inside the city wall without any room for maneuver, there is obviously no way.
Soon Leonard's troops occupied the entire city wall, and the pressure on Nashadir's troops was instantly relieved.
Facing such a two-sided attack, the French team's failure was inevitable.
There are cavalry on both sides. Without the horses, city walls, and those muskets, the French troops are just a bunch of bugs that can be easily crushed to death.
The cavalry has the ability to nearly crush an army unit that has lost its reliance.
However, after Leonard and Nashadir's troops merged, they did not continue to fight, but withdrew from the battlefield as quickly as possible.
It is not cost-effective to wipe out all the French troops in this defensive line now.
First of all, they didn't know when the French army's reinforcements would arrive. If they arrived quickly, they would be in a very dangerous situation.
So retreating now is their best option.
Without making much of a halt, their troops immediately retreated.
But at this time.
French support troops led by Smith have arrived.
Leonard glanced at Harris and the man next to him who had never seen him before. His face was full of fierceness.
Even his own general, Harris seemed to be asking him what he meant with his eyes.
Nashadir looked at the war horses appearing in the distance, led by French troops.
"Withdraw troops!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the troops who helped Leonard immediately withdrew.
Didn't make too many stops.
Leonard looked at Harris, but found him, and immediately turned around and followed the unfamiliar general to withdraw his troops.
Leonard was stunned for a moment and hurriedly led his troops to follow.
He ran quickly under the setting sun, with dead bodies lying on the ground behind him.
There are more people from the French army.
This time Leonard was able to lead his troops to fight out of it all because of Harris and his people.
Smith looked at the troops who were about to withdraw and shouted urgently: "Quick, quick!"
"We must not let them escape!"
But the distance between them has become farther and farther.
Smith led his troops and chased them for a long distance.
Until that troop can no longer be seen.
Smith just stopped and looked at the sun setting in the distance, his teeth clenching with anger.
Those who escaped this time were a very elite cavalry unit, which would definitely be a heavy loss to the French army.
It is very likely that there will be major danger to them in the future, but it is too late to say anything now.
They have entered Nashadir's sphere of influence. If they continue to move forward, they are likely to be attacked by the other party.
Now is not the time to start a head-on conflict with Nashadir.
Looking at the stars in front of him, Smith could only say coldly: "Go back!"
"Be on defense and be ready for battle at any time!"
This time Nashadir got a very elite cavalry. Smith had a hunch that it might not be long before their troops continued to expand towards the area where the Wahhara tribe was located. He had to be prepared for this. !
