Under the command of Sean, the Egyptian troops' offensive achieved certain results.
The artillerymen of the French army encountered attacks from muskets or rockets.
Especially the rocket attack. This thing carries fire, and there are many shells around the artillery. The shells are afraid of being detonated by fire.
I don’t know where the Egyptian crossbowmen learned to use their feet to pull the hard bow, and the arrows they shot could travel much farther.
And this way of archery makes it possible for the crossbow to hit the artillery.
Although the accuracy is much different, the answer is that an arrow with fire can burst out a huge explosion as long as it lands on the surrounding cannonballs containing black powder.
Not only can it destroy the artillery of the French army, it can also kill the artillery crew.
The weight of the artillery made it impossible to carry it around at will. Under the attack method of the Egyptian crossbowmen, the French artillery was temporarily suppressed.
At this time, the infantry and shield soldiers of the Egyptian army launched an attack, clearing the way for the Egyptian cavalry.
The trap in the swamp was discovered, and the Egyptian cavalry had the opportunity to attack.
The Egyptian cavalry is still composed of warriors from the Wahhara tribe, and the cavalry's equestrian skills can be said to be outstanding.
The role that such a cavalry unit can play on the battlefield is huge.
Under the charge of the Egyptian cavalry, the disadvantage on the battlefield was gradually reversed.
Seeing this scene, Sean breathed a sigh of relief. He slowly exhaled a breath and suppressed his excitement. He commanded calmly: "The infantry changes formation and covers the cavalry's advance!"
Henry nodded when he saw Sean's change.
Although Sean previously led the allied army of the Sugra tribe.
But he has no commanding ability in combat. This can be seen from the cooperation with Nashadir in those granaries, and then the cooperation with Nashadir to block the French troops.
Although Sean was the commander-in-chief of the Soviet Union Army at that time, he did not know how to command at all.
At that time, the troops led by Sean did not have any decent weapons.
Although they were sanctioned by the French, the Wahala tribe, which was much behind the Sugra tribe, could find weapons. It can be seen that among the Sugra tribe, there were not many decent weapons, not even war horses.
, Sean’s dereliction of duty as the commander-in-chief.
But compared to that time, Sean is completely different. Sean is more than capable of commanding troops now, but he lacks the corresponding experience.
Many of his ideas are actually very close to the current combat methods, and he can also judge the key points of the attack. These alone allow him to lead the troops.
On the battlefield, the Egyptian troops have gradually gained a slight advantage.
The cavalry of the French army is sparse in number and cannot affect the situation of the battle for the time being.
At this time, the French army transferred a lot of muskets and artillery from the arsenal.
Seeing the appearance of these weapons, even Henry's expression changed.
They seemed to have forgotten that the French army guarded an entire arsenal with an astonishing number of artillery pieces.
It's just that their heavy bodies are difficult to move.
But now, as these artillery pieces join the battlefield, the slight advantage Egypt has established will be broken again.
Just at this time.
An Egyptian army emerged from the distance, led by Nashadir.
Seeing them appear, Henry and Sean were startled at first, and then showed joy. Their reinforcements had arrived, and their forces would crush the opponent in this battle.
"kill!"
With the Nashadir troops joining the battlefield, the balance of victory once again shifted.
When the French commander saw these troops suddenly appearing, his face froze and he shouted: "Attack!"
The French army launched a more violent attack, but it was already too late.
After Nashadir's troops joined the battlefield, they first used cavalry to block their retreat.
