Finally, after the French army paid a huge price, countless French cavalry troops rushed out.
On the plain, the French cavalry fighting out of the city was like entering uninhabited territory.
In the dark night, Jiang Xuan saw the French cavalry armor exuding a scary luster under the firelight.
Without any hesitation, he immediately ordered: "Crossbowmen and musketeers attack!"
"yes!"
The drums were beaten and military orders were issued.
The Longyan Army's crossbowmen and musketeers immediately attacked, and arrows and muskets fell like a heavy rain.
Originally, it was difficult for the crossbowmen and musketeers to aim against the highly mobile French cavalry.
However, under this wave of attacks, the crossbowmen and musketeers did not take aim at all.
The French cavalry who fought out turned into hedgehogs for an instant. The cavalry could not see clearly the arrows falling from the sky in the dark.
These arrows seemed to blend into the night, and they were shot into hedgehogs before they had time to react.
A small number of cavalry arrived, but they were hindered by the thick shield soldiers of Longyan Army.
Before the next wave of their charges arrived, they were already shot in the head by the Longyan Army's musketeers or shield soldiers!
Longyan's cannonballs seemed to be fired for free.
After seeing the war situation, the military minister was completely desperate.
Countless cannonballs fell on the city wall. The inner city wall was not as strong as the outer city wall. Cracks had already appeared under these attacks of artillery fire.
Boom!
The inner city was captured.
Upon seeing this, Jiang Xuan immediately issued a military order: "The attacking opponent's turret, advance fifty meters and push in horizontally!"
In an instant, the turrets that took four days to repair were once again wiped out by Jiang Xuan's attack.
This time the destruction was even more complete.
Advance fifty meters.
Under Jiang Xuan's crushing offensive, the French army had no ability to resist at all.
Nashadir was stunned to see this scene.
If he had known that the Dragon Flame Cannon was so powerful, why would he have used so much energy to attack the city?
Wouldn't it be great if we directly use this method to provide indiscriminate fire coverage?
"Jiang Xuan, there is such a simple and crude way, why didn't you tell me earlier?"
Jiang Xuan rolled his eyes at him and said calmly: "I told you that after the industrial revolution, the previous fighting methods are outdated."
"This kind of siege equipment is better."
"However, if you hadn't cleared the two lines of defense before, I wouldn't have been able to use this tactic."
Nashadir thought for a while and nodded.
At that time, the French port had two lines of defense, turrets and city walls.
The turret was two hundred meters away from the city wall, and the Long Flame Cannon had a firing range of three hundred meters. He had no way of attacking the city wall with the Dragon Flame Cannon like this.
Moreover, the original city wall and the Dragon Flame siege cannon were ineffective at all. Furthermore, the city wall was too high and it was difficult for the artillery shells to cross the wall and hit the troops inside.
It's different now. The outer city wall has been destroyed, and the height of the inner city wall is just a little lower, and it's not as strong as the outer city.
Moreover, the turrets being built now are relatively far back.
This kind of geographical advantage made Jiang Xuan's tactics effective.
Thinking of this, Nashadir smiled: "So I created the conditions for you."
"Absolutely." Jiang Xuan said lightly.
He looked at the French port, which was already ablaze in the distance, and felt reassured.
Under his own offensive, this city has been captured!
