On the position, artillery fire was flying, and the French troops were dizzy from this attack.
After Long Yan's special forces came up from the edge of the cliff on the other side, they did not carry artillery, but they carried more convenient muskets.
A total of ten groups of people invaded the French position.
There are dozens of times the strength of their Longyan special forces troops in the French position.
But carrying the highest level weapons of Dragon Flame, they are incomparable to French soldiers in terms of mobility and combat effectiveness.
The Long Yan Army can burst out a very powerful attack in a short period of time.
No artillery fire, but grenades.
The power of grenades is not weaker than that of artillery, but the attack range is much shorter.
The French soldiers were completely suppressed by the artillery power of the Long Yan Special Forces.
The French soldiers who were guarding the passage were beaten and scattered in all directions. Their commander, who was not wearing any military uniform, hurriedly came out of the camp wearing a nightgown.
Looking at the urgent mobilization of French soldiers on the battlefield, in the direction they rushed, there were continuous explosions of artillery fire.
He grabbed a French soldier who was rushing over and asked in a deep voice: "What kind of troops are there on the other side, how many troops there are, and where did they launch the attack."
A series of questions made the French soldier, who had not recovered, bewildered. He did not know that the person asking the question was the commander, and said hurriedly: "We were attacked by monsters. There are not many of them, but they can throw out... The exploding iron balls and the bullets fired were more terrifying than muskets. They killed many of us. If you are a qualified soldier, go fight instead of asking me these questions!"
Shocking screams rang out from the battlefield not far away. The soldiers threw away the commander and charged in the opposite direction without stopping for a moment.
Looking at the French soldiers who wanted to flee the battlefield, the commander's face was grim. He raised his hand and shot the soldier who persuaded him to fight and fled for his life.
The French commander looked towards the direction of the battle, his brows furrowed, and he had no time to think about hurriedly looking for his deputy and ordering the entire army to prepare for battle.
The French soldiers, who had been alerted by the explosion for a long time, were receiving orders to fight.
At this time, the French army had gathered urgently and rushed towards the torn array defense line.
At this time, their defense line to defend against Long Yanjun's attack also encountered an attack.
"The Dragon Flame Army is attacking from that side!"
The French commander was confused and instantly realized what the attack was about.
But I don't know how Long Yan's raiding force came into contact.
"Concentrate our forces and kill the Longyan Army who have entered the position first. Their presence will affect our subsequent operations."
"Mobilize the troops and guard our defense line. We must not let the Longyan Army break through our defense!"
Before he finished speaking, the adjutant with a proud face rushed in and said urgently: "The Long Yan Army has broken through our front, and the general can't stand it anymore."
"Withdraw!"
The air dropped, and the French commander trembled. He almost fell down after hearing the bad news, but luckily he supported his body with both hands.
Not even half an hour after the battle started, their defenses were breached, which sounded like a nightmare.
If they fall here, their entire defense against the Long Yan Army's attack will collapse.
The routes into the next two areas will be undefeable.
Their troops would completely collapse.
The entire French colonial area in Egypt will also completely collapse and be occupied by the Longyan Army and the Rebel Army. The French will be kicked out of the access to the Mediterranean coast.
The French commander exhaled deeply when he thought of this. He told himself that there must be a better way. They still have enough troops now.
"We still have soldiers, and we still have the strength to compete with the Longyan Army." He swayed like a roly-poly.
Others looked at the commander eagerly: "General, give the order quickly. Which end should we attack first?"
"If we don't attack, our troops will be wiped out by the Dragon Flame Army!"
The commander looked at the battlefield and rushed outside the command room: "Hold the front first, and I will personally lead the death squad to surround the Longyan Army that has sneaked in!"
The number of Dragon Flame Army sneaking in was not large, but the firepower of these Dragon Flame Army was too fierce.
After the French commander made his decision, he immediately led a crushing force of 3,000 people to surround the Longyan Army.
When the other officers saw that the commander could make such a decision, their expressions suddenly changed.
This was something they didn't expect at all.
I never thought that the commander would dare to do this.
Without saying too much, the other generals also rushed to the battlefield with other troops.
They all know the real situation on the battlefield now.
Although the invading Dragon Flame Army was small in number, they carried some strange equipment and actually had throwing grenades that were as good as artillery.
There is also a musket that can fire continuously without refilling bullets.
There are not many troops, but the firepower is not weak, and it can even be said to be quite explosive.
When the French commander arrived on the battlefield, he saw the Long Yan Army hiding in the darkness, although he could see the sound of guns and fire.
But they had no way of seeing clearly where the enemy was.
It was dark night now, and there was no light here, all relying on torches, and in such darkness they could not see the Long Yan Army.
But the Long Yan Army can target them, even if their torches are extinguished, they are in the same dark environment as the Long Yan Army.
The soldiers of the Long Yan Army were actually able to attack them.
The French commander recalled the battle afterwards, and he said with fear: "We are fighting ghosts in the dark, not fighting the army."
"Kill, attack towards the darkness!"
Even if the enemy cannot be seen, the French commander must find a way to suppress the enemy.
Doing it is much better than doing nothing!
As for the Longyan Army lurking in the darkness, the reason why they can see the French army clearly in the darkness is that first of all, their physical fitness is not comparable to that of the French army.
They eat carrots for a long time and train in the dark.
After training, you can see the enemy clearly in the dark.
More importantly, the blue and white uniforms worn by the French army made it difficult for them to be invisible.
That thing is simply a firefly in the dark.
Not only that, the undisguised sound of gunfire from the French army on the battlefield was also the simplest and most direct reason to determine their location.
The guns of Long Yan's special forces have been specially modified.
It is equipped with a silencer and a device to suppress the flame produced by the gun.
The French army could only see their comrades falling continuously, but they could not hear the sound of shooting from the dragon flame muskets.
Frightened, they used the most powerful weapons in their hands to attack into the darkness!
