Long Yan's artillery attacked fiercely, and the cannonballs fell down one after another.
The French artillery position less than 200 meters away was blown up.
They looked at the sudden artillery attack and had no idea where such artillery came from.
By the time they discovered it, it was already too late. The artillery unit of Longyan Army did not give the French army any chance to counterattack.
Long Yan's artillery tilted down, and almost every shell hit the French army's artillery position.
At this time, the French artillery team had no way to fight back.
Their attack distance was controlled by the Long Yan Army, and their firepower was also suppressed by the Long Yan Army.
Under such circumstances, Prince Subiz could only give up attacking the Longyan Army's artillery position and instead attack the Longyan Army's musketeers.
Ling Chen looked at the French troops and retreated a large part of them in humiliation to get out of his own attack range.
In this way, their artillery troops could only cover the trenches in front of them with fire, but they had no way to threaten the rear troops of Dao Longyan Army.
Under such circumstances, the French troops could only be passively beaten and turned into living targets by Long Yan's army.
Prince Subiz saw the tragic conditions on the battlefield. More than thirty minutes had passed since the beginning of the battle, but the French troops had always been passively beaten.
They were beaten so hard that they had no ability to fight back.
Under such circumstances, Prince Subiz was very anxious and kept calling the generals to ask them if they had any good offensive ideas.
As long as it works, he is willing to use it, but in the face of the Long Yan Army's fully armed ultra-long-distance attack, their hot and cold mixed force has no combat capability at all.
Even the cavalry that can exert their maximum combat capabilities are now severely restricted by the Longyan Army.
After thinking of this, Prince Subiz sighed.
No matter what, this war must continue.
In order to maintain the frontal battlefield, Prince Subiz could only decide to withdraw the cavalry that controlled the artillery on both sides of Longyan.
Used on frontal battlefields.
First withstand the attack of Long Yan's troops and push the front a little bit forward. Otherwise, the current situation will be defeated sooner or later.
"Let the cavalry retreat first and use our musketeers to withstand the opponent's pressure. As long as we are out of the attack range of the Dragon Flame Army, we will still have a chance!"
Prince Subiz wanted to lure the Longyan Army's troops and attack them, so that he could get out of the Longyan Army's combat range.
But obviously his wishful thinking was wrong.
Prince Subiz has not realized the equipment gap between them and Long Yan's army yet. Ling Chen's current army is equipped with muskets. Even the artillery without artillery can kill the cavalry single-handedly.
Their cavalry only withdrew from the battlefield after paying a huge price.
But at this time, the French cavalry no longer had enough ability to launch an attack again. They were beaten to death and wounded by the Longyan Army's troops.
The collapse of the frontal battlefield and the flank battlefield left Subiz's troops with no choice but to continue their rapid retreat.
Only then did he realize the real reason for his failure!
What muskets give to war is another new form of war. Ling Chen has felt through this war that the changed form of war will definitely shine in the future!
It is very likely that spears, bows, arrows, and even cavalry will completely withdraw from the current battlefield in the future.
The artillery unit can destroy thirty or fifty enemy soldiers with one shell. If the number of artillery reaches a certain level, it can completely change the current war situation.
There are also muskets. In the past, the cavalry used to use long guns. They called them long guns. The guns were fast from ten steps away, but they were accurate and fast within ten steps!
Now the attack distance of the musket has reached more than 150 meters. At this range, there is no need for your troops to attack and fight face-to-face with the enemy.
Wouldn't a long-distance attack be able to reduce casualties? After thinking of this, Long Yanjun's troops did not pursue after the French army withdrew.
Ling Chen felt that there was no point in chasing a French army that was about to be defeated.
Just as Li Hongtian ordered, their troops were only here to stop the French army.
It did not say that this unit would be completely wiped out.
At this time, Prince Subiz was a little lucky that the Long Yan Army did not pursue them. After all, the Long Yan Army's style of play meant that they could really lure out the opponent's troops.
Is it possible to guarantee the defeat of the opponent's troops?
Obviously, with the opponent's style of play, Prince Subiz even believed that it was possible for them to be wiped out by the opponent's troops.
Retreat is now one of their best options.
At this time, as they were retreating, Long Yanjun's troops did not pursue them, but they were attacked by the British troops.
Prince Subiz looked confused when facing the sudden appearance of the British troops.
There is British territory above Hanover, but the British troops should still be busy fighting the Swedes.
Why did you come to Hannover at this time?
The British commander, seeing the retreating French troops, immediately dispatched his own troops to attack.
They have been waiting here for a long time.
Just waiting for the French troops to be defeated.
Now that we finally have this opportunity, the British troops will naturally not let it go!
The British army is now following Long Yan's movements.
Ever since I learned that Long Yanjun intended to cut off cooperation with Britain on the giant steam engine deal.
King George III immediately lamented the power of Long Yan. Now Britain's only Dreadnought-class battleship has been destroyed.
They urgently need a second Dreadnought-class battleship. The giant steam engine is the core of this Dreadnought-class battleship. Without the giant steam engine, the Dreadnought-class battleship they built can only be visited at the port!
The artillery on those battleships were also a pile of useless scrap metal.
It's like a tiger losing its claws and claws.
Now is a critical period in the battle with France for overseas colonies at sea, and Britain will never give up its Dreadnought-class battleships.
The battlegrounds in America and Africa are still undecided.
After thinking of this, George III did not inform Long Yan, but directly ordered to cooperate with Long Yan's actions.
So there is now this ambush against the French army.
Prince Subiz felt deep despair. The sudden appearance of the French army at this time made him unable to attack anymore.
They had been beaten to the brink of collapse by Long Yanjun's troops.
The sudden appearance of the British troops at this time was a fatal blow to him.
The remaining French cavalry stepped forward at this time to contain the British forces and cover Prince Subise's escape.
The Prince of Subise passed by these French cavalrymen who sacrificed their lives.
When he escaped, only 5,000 of the 30,000 main troops he originally brought were left, and the other troops were scattered.
But Prince Subitz was not discouraged. In addition to this 30,000-strong army, he also had other troops marching from Hanover to Berlin.
As long as these two troops can break through the blockade of Longyan, the goddess of victory will still be on his side.
