"Our current military strength is about 5,000, which is basically the same as the opponent's military strength!"
"Then what should we do now?" Sean asked: "Nashadir must also know this information. Do we have to wait for his rendezvous?"
Henry shook his head and said: "It's too late. If we wait for him to join us, we will miss the best time to attack, and we will lose this war."
"It is very likely that the French army will send other reinforcements."
"We can't wait any longer, we must launch an attack as soon as possible!"
“Time is precious!”
Sean's eyes were shaking and he was hesitant. The outpost was the French army closest to the arsenal, but there were also French troops further away.
If they are supporting the arsenal now.
This time the battle will be a complete failure!
Sean gritted his teeth and said, "Attack!"
Henry shouted: "Attack!"
The surviving Egyptian soldiers rushed to the battlefield, and the newly captured artillery was put to use. A total of seven artillery pieces burst out with fierce bombardment.
Now the troops of both sides are evenly matched, and the Egyptian troops do not have any advantage in terms of strength.
But in terms of weapons and equipment, they have advantages that the Egyptian army does not have.
The French army pulled out seventeen artillery pieces and fired them all!
The soldiers of the Egyptian army were immediately wounded.
Seeing so many artillery pieces, Sean was very anxious. This was a grassland area, and no matter how powerful the artillery pieces were, they would be useless against a cavalry attack.
Sean ordered: "The cavalry blocks the artillery..."
Before he finished speaking, he was stopped by Henry on the side.
Sean looked at him doubtfully and asked, "Why?"
Henry said coldly: "You forget that there is a swamp here. If our cavalry falls into the swamp, they will lose their maximum ability!"
"Then they will be the targets of these artillerymen!"
Sean woke up after being scolded, but looking at the increasing casualties on the battlefield, he could only reluctantly say: "I know."
"The crossbowmen cover the shield soldiers and find the swamps on the battlefield!"
Sean gave another order.
However, the battlefield at this moment was already in chaos, and it was very difficult for Sean's order to advance.
The Egyptian forces were torn apart by the French forces.
The firepower of the Egyptian army was obviously inferior to that of the French army, and they were suppressed unilaterally.
However, after two months of training, the Egyptian troops became more organized in their operations.
Even in the face of such a dilemma, they still showed an amazing sense of fighting.
Although the French army had the upper hand, they were intimidated by Egypt's determination to fight to the death.
There was a stalemate on the battlefield. Seeing this scene, Sean gritted his teeth. As a commander, he wished he could go to the battlefield in person and teach those French troops a lesson.
But Henry on the side suppressed him severely and told him not to be impulsive!
The commander's duty is to direct the soldiers to fight and win the war. Therefore, as a commander, no matter what happens on the battlefield, you must be calm and make the most accurate judgment.
If you act emotionally, it will only lead to failure in this battle.
Sean took a few deep breaths, calmed down, and looked at the situation on the battlefield. The enemy's main attack point of firepower was artillery, but at this distance, if the artillery could be knocked out.
The situation on the battlefield will change.
Thinking of this, Sean ordered in a deep voice: "Crossbowmen, musketeers, concentrate fire on the opponent's artillerymen!"
Now on the battlefield, the only way they can attack the opponent's artillery is with muskets and crossbowmen. Although the attack range of the artillery is sufficient, these artillery are not as accurate as the Dragon Flame artillery!
