The military minister of the French port city said in a deep voice:
"The most important thing now is to first determine what is the condition of our transportation lines and where our troops are deployed in those cities."
"I believe they will not lose so quickly."
"I suggest defending the city, containing Nashadir's army, and preventing him from reinforcing Britain."
Sashar nodded and looked at the map. The French transportation line in Egypt was very long, but there was only one city close to the British colonial area.
In that city, Sashar arranged a heavy guard.
"But our current sea route is also blocked by the Long Yan Army."
"If Long Yanjun still has hundreds of transport ships parked at sea, these are all merchant ships!"
"If the Long Yan Army launches an attack from the sea, not only will our merchant ships be damaged, but when the Long Yan Army seizes the port, we will be attacked from two sides."
"What will we do then?"
As soon as this was said, the whole audience fell into silence.
Yes, the only defense on the coastline of the port city was the artillery that forcibly suppressed Long Yan's Yinzhou ship from landing.
This matter is not difficult at all. As long as there are enough artillery, the Longyan fleet will not be able to land.
But forget about those merchant ships in France. These merchant ships will definitely be affected.
It is difficult for any merchant ship to survive.
"This may be the only good news now. The Longyan fleet besieging our port this time only has seven Yinzhou ships, which is not many."
"In the Mediterranean, our French fleet is always there. I think the Longyan fleet will only confront our fleet and will not actually attack."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, this may be the blessing among misfortunes.
"The defense deployed at the port can be a little weaker." Sashar sighed.
"So facing this battle, do you have any other good suggestions?"
Sashar looked up at everyone, hoping to have some good ideas. Now they were passively defensive and wanted a quick victory.
The initiative must be in their hands, otherwise all this will be empty talk.
But if they want the initiative to be in their hands, it means they need to take the initiative, but this means they have to give up their solid walls.
As well as those turrets built to defend against enemy attacks.
You must know that the cavalry under Nashadir are known as the Wolf Cavalry.
Very vicious.
No one wanted to fight their cavalry head-on on the battlefield.
"Perhaps we should consider luring the enemy deeper."
Sashar looked up at the military minister, with a flash of light in his eyes, and hurried to ask: "General, please tell me carefully?"
The military minister walked to the map, pointed at Nashadir's position, and said calmly: "Nashadir's cavalry is very good, but that does not mean that his other arms are also very good."
"As far as I know, Nashadir led troops, mostly cavalry, and it was the Longyan people who made up for the shortcomings of his troops, such as infantry and artillery."
"Now the initiative is in their hands, so why don't we lure them to attack. We can't just use cavalry to attack the city."
"As long as Nashadir's other troops are destroyed, Nashadir will definitely be punished by then."
"We can feign an attack and mistakenly think that we are attacking Nashadir's base camp. They are eighty miles away from us."
"This distance is enough for us to operate."
After hearing this plan, Sashar's brows relaxed. He looked at the military minister and said with a smile: "General, this is really a good idea."
"Without the cavalry, Nashadir is like a tiger without teeth. Even if he wants to attack the city, he will not be able to fight with us in front of the battle."
Without the cavalry, the infantry and artillery would have no cover on this plain, and Nashadir would be defeated.
