Cairo, a city that was built by oneself, was also blown to pieces under the fierce artillery fire from both sides.
Both sides suffered numerous casualties.
Why are these French people so tenacious? According to Dick's understanding, there are not many French people left in Cairo.
If it had been before, France would have been beaten away.
Why is it that it is as strong as defending its own capital now? Although Cairo is equally important to France.
But they still have other port cities, and the transportation lines will not be completely blocked.
Even without Cairo, Egyptian supplies, and local reinforcements can still land.
Dick fell into doubts, fearing that it was a deception, whether the French were deliberately delaying their British army here.
This will allow other armies to attack their other important colonies in Egypt.
After all, this is how Cairo lost, he had to guard against it.
It would be dangerous if that were the case!
"Guard, have we received any military reports from other places?" Dick asked quickly.
"Sir, there are no military reports at the moment, but we have detected traces of marches in port cities in France."
"Judging from the traces left behind, the number is quite large."
When Dick heard the news, he took a deep breath. It was indeed so!
These hateful French people know that they want to play dirty tricks and steal their own city.
He immediately deduced that the French might want to steal their own city.
Dick immediately ordered: "Send my military order and retreat!"
"retreat?"
"General, don't you want Cairo?"
Dick glared at him and cursed directly: "What good is Cairo?"
"Although we can attack the Suez Canal directly from Cairo, have you never fought against the Longyan people?"
"With our current strength, can Cairo and Long Yan snatch the Suez Canal? We can't!"
Dick looked at the map of Egypt with a gloomy and frightening expression. Finally, he could only say helplessly: "I will give Cairo to you French people temporarily and let you fight with Long Yan."
"When the time comes when you both lose, I, Britain, will come out to pick up the slack again!"
Thinking of this, Dick's order was quickly issued. The British guards were stunned. Stop fighting and retreat?
We can obviously win Cairo with just a little effort, so why retreat like this?
They didn't understand, but the military orders were overwhelming, so they obeyed them anyway.
Among the French in Cairo, Sachar, the leader of the French army, cried with joy when he saw the British soldiers running away in despair.
"These hateful Britons are finally gone!"
Sashar felt very uncomfortable looking at Cairo, which was almost in ruins.
When he came, there was construction by the British, which was called a luxury.
However, under continuous artillery fire, all the equipment, factories, etc. were completely destroyed.
After experiencing two wars, his French army dropped sharply from the original 50,000 to less than 3,000.
There are still many wounded among them who are no longer able to participate in the battle.
Fortunately, Cairo is covered.
This group of British people finally couldn't chew off their own hard bones, so they all left.
At this moment, not long after the Britons had left, and Sashar was celebrating the rest of his life, a sudden emergency military report reached his ears.
"Report to the general, Britain is coming again!"
"What!" Sashar sat up in shock while he was dying, looked at the guards in disbelief, and said helplessly: "Didn't they just leave?"
