The main force led by Nashadir launched an attack instantly.
When he saw the size of the main force and cavalry led by Nashadir, the French commander was extremely grateful for the decision he had made.
He did not choose to swallow up that small force in the first place.
Fortunately, the decision made at the beginning was to hold on, otherwise, if they were attacked by a cavalry team of this size, they would definitely be killed by the opponent.
The troops Daun gave him, including cavalry, infantry and other types of troops, totaled only 20,000 people!
If we only rely on these troops to initiate a head-on conflict with the troops who are all cavalry, they will be able to fight against each other.
The opponent's troops must have a great advantage.
The French troops were simply unable to compete.
But one of the most important problems facing the French commanders now is that their fortifications have not been completed.
This battle in Nashadir can be said to have been particularly sudden.
They had no way to use these unbuilt fortifications and could only rush to respond to the attack by Nashadir's troops.
Under such circumstances, the French army had no advantage at all in confronting Nashadir's troops with muskets. It could even be said to be a complete disadvantage.
Nashadir's cavalry used muskets, which had a wide attack range and strong mobility.
It even comes with artillery, since the movement of the artillery can be made very fast with the cavalry dragging it.
And this artillery unit was Henry's unit that attacked them.
At this time, the battlefield was already fiercely fought.
In order to deal with such a war situation, the French commander had no choice but to let his troops fight with the rebels.
They used infantry to blockade and impede the cavalry that could pose a threat to them with the help of half-built trenches that were barely usable.
The entire battlefield fell into an inextricable state.
But what they didn't expect was that Henry's troops, which they had not chosen to pursue before, would attack with artillery.
Under the maneuver of the cavalry, these artillery, which is not carried in large numbers, is like a mobile artillery group.
Ability to make adjustments quickly while away from the battlefield.
When the French commander saw that Henry's troops had developed such a style of play, he was confused!
"Where on earth did the damn Egyptians come up with such an attack method!"
The mobile artillery attack can attack almost the entire battlefield. Such an attack directly bombards the French soldiers until they are dizzy.
Although the attack frequency is not particularly high, each time it can bring huge casualties to this anxious battlefield.
On the other hand, the artillery carried by the French army could only be fixed in one position, and there was no way to launch an attack like the artillery of the rebel army.
Under such circumstances, the role their artillery can play is too small.
Nashadir looked at the situation on the battlefield and it was developing in the direction he expected.
He smiled lightly, not expecting that the plan to attack the French Industrial Zone would end the battle so quickly.
"The method Jiang Xuan mentioned is really good."
Yes, Jiang Xuan told him this attack method.
I saw that the French soldiers on the battlefield had been beaten to some extent, and their morale was severely reduced.
He was ready to launch a direct attack and directly defeat the French army.
Then move into the industrial area.
"It seems that Jiang Xuan's plan will be realized in my hands." Nashadir smiled lightly.
Just when he was about to launch a final charge to defeat the French army in one fell swoop, something suddenly changed on the battlefield.
A French support force came out of nowhere.
Seeing the French troops coming to support him, Nashadir made a decision at that time and sighed: "It doesn't seem that simple. Withdraw the troops."
"Withdraw troops!"
The rebel army retreated for money. Although they were now in a good situation against the French troops, they were under the orders of Nashadir.
They still chose to obey this order.
Nashadir's rebels retreated while fighting, retreating in an orderly manner.
Even if reinforcements arrived, the French commander had no intention of pursuing them.
The rebel army did not suffer much damage at all in this battle, but their troops suffered too much damage.
Under such circumstances, the pursuit is likely to be consumed by the cavalry of the rebel troops.
That's why the French commander did not choose to continue the attack.
But he looked at the French troops who came to support him in the distance, and he was a little confused. They should not be fighting Jiang Xuan now.
Why are you still able to come here?
The general who took the lead told him.
"The Marshal has been informed that the Longyan people are likely to launch a war against us in Europe. All the support originally agreed upon is now gone."
"We must protect the industrial area. We must not let the Long Yan people or the Egyptians occupy this place!"
"There is no danger for you to defend here, so you sent us again."
Hearing these words, the commander's heart skipped a beat.
If this is the case, their French colonial area's military strength has reached a precarious state.
More importantly, through today's battle, he has felt that the originally patchwork rebel army is now developing in the direction of the regular army.
This is a very scary thing.
This shows that Nashadir used a very short period of time to train an army of miscellaneous soldiers into a force that could fight in an orderly manner but was very combat effective.
To fight against such an opponent, they still have no troops.
There was no way to get replenished with new recruits.
They will continue to be at a disadvantage.
The French commander looked in the distance in the direction where Nashadir's troops were withdrawing. It was not a mess, but very orderly.
The French commander was deeply aware of what kind of opponent he was fighting.
Now the pressure is on his side...
And on the other side.
Dawn felt that the pressure was coming here too. Ever since France was unable to provide him with any support, he had fallen into a state of irritability and uneasiness.
Without support, he would have almost no hope of victory in this war with the Egyptians and Longyan people.
He took a deep breath and looked at the map.
At this point, he still has a way, but if it weren't for this critical moment.
Dawn didn't want to use this method at all.
"Send someone to Somalia and find the general of the Italian army!"
Although Italy cheated France in Hanover, but then again, Italy is still an ally of the French Empire.
It is normal for France to unite with Italy to fight against the Long Yan troops.
But the only thing that made Dawn hesitate was about the Italian army. In his eyes, the combat effectiveness of the Italian army was always like a mystery.
It is unimaginable that a European power would lose to the indigenous people when attacking overseas colonies.
This is simply a shame for Europe.
What is even more unimaginable is that their troops can actually defeat their opponents, but after winning, they require the opponent to accept the surrender of their troops...
