Horse face, raised during the construction of the city wall.
The shape is long and oblique, resembling a horse's face, so it is called horse face.
The two horse faces can form a "concave" shape, so that no matter how the enemy attacks from the city wall below, they will be surrounded by three sides.
It also suffered the greatest damage.
At this time, some people from Nashadir's army followed the horses and attacked upward.
However, because the width of the horse's face was too small, soldiers climbing the bamboo ladder would be easily hit by rolling rocks and thunderwood, leaving them unable to retreat, and there was no way to scale the city through numbers.
Although Nashadir's troops are now stronger than the French army, the most important thing to compete in a siege is the strength of the troops.
After persisting for a long time, the battlefield has now reached a stalemate.
Nashadir's troops couldn't attack at all, but the French troops couldn't even hope to repel Nashadir's troops.
Regarding this stalemate, the military minister finally relaxed.
The most important thing in a city defense battle is patience, and the competition is consumption.
See who can endure who.
However, in terms of losses, the siege party will definitely suffer greater losses. As long as he holds on for one more day, the siege party will have to pay several times the damage force as his own.
There is a stalemate on the battlefield, and the one who is most worried is not him, but Nashadir.
At this moment, Nashadir watched the battlefield reach a stalemate without panicking at all.
This can even be said to be good news for him.
The longer the stalemate on the battlefield lasted, the better the situation was in his favor, and the French army would be too tired to deal with the attack and ignore the troops digging holes under the city walls.
In order to cover this force, Nashadir made a huge sacrifice.
Countless soldiers died in the siege.
But it was all worth it. A large amount of explosives exploded in the foundation of the city wall. Even a ten-meter-thick city wall could only collapse.
When the cave is dug out, the city will be destroyed!
Thinking of this, a faint smile appeared on the corner of Nashadir's mouth.
...
At this time, the British Army held an important position.
The yellow sand is so vast that no buildings can be seen at all.
Not to mention people.
A sandstorm swept Dick's defenders and the French troops into the sky.
Not long after, a group of French cavalry came to the important town and saw it turning into yellow sand, and they felt happy in their hearts.
The leader of this cavalry immediately ordered to assist the French ports.
On the first day when the British army made a surprise attack on this important town, they already knew that the French port must have been attacked.
This is the only exit from the French port to the outside world.
Other routes are within the British defense zone and there is no way to pass.
At the same time, it is also an important transportation town with a large number of troops gathered here.
If you want to attack the French port, you must capture it, otherwise you will be besieged by all French colonial forces in Africa.
As long as we hold here, no French army can support us.
The French cavalry immediately crossed the yellow sand and headed for the French port, where they had been intercepted for more than ten days.
From here it is still a day's journey from the port city of France.
We must march as quickly as possible.
This attack seemed premeditated. I wonder if the French port has changed hands now. They must hurry up.
It didn't take long after the French cavalry left.
In the midst of the long yellow sand, there was a pop!
The yellow sand rolled up and raised dust and mist, and there was a human figure among it. If the French cavalry seriously investigated, they would never let him go. He is Dick!
"Cough cough cough..."
Dick walked out of the dust and fog just now, looked at the direction in which the French army left, only the rolling yellow sand was left with horse hoof prints gradually dissipating, and cursed:
