Chapter 1528: The Situation on the Battlefield

Miao saber.

Although long, it is still a saber, and its method of attack is more varied and tricky.

Because the French Cavalry are half a body taller than them while on horseback, these Artillery can even use the Miao saber to attack the cavalry's weak point.

The horse's legs!

Although Cavalry are powerful, it is difficult for any Infantry to survive under their charge.

Possessing super high mobility, Cavalry are dauntless when encountering any current military branch on the battlefield.

Cavalry even have heavy-armored cavalry that are both offensive and defensive; they sacrifice a little speed, but in exchange, they gain peerless defensive capabilities.

It is very difficult for Infantry to kill armed Cavalry.

However, Cavalry have one fatal danger, which is the War Horse's legs.

This is the weakest place on a War Horse, and many traps prepared for Cavalry are specifically aimed at the horse's legs.

At this moment, the Artillery team holding Miao sabers, after resisting repeatedly, swings their blades toward the horse legs of the charging French Cavalry.

The French Cavalry cry out in alarm.

But they are already unable to dodge in time; horses are destined to be difficult to control after launching a charge.

Bang!

The Miao saber is incomparably sharp; the French War Horse crashes into the Miao saber, and the War Horse lets out a heart-wrenching roar.

The horse's head slams into the ground.

The French Cavalry also falls from the War Horse as a result.

A cavalryman who has lost their War Horse is merely an infantryman holding a long spear.

Not to be feared at all!

Sashaer watches as the cavalry he sent out have now been partially wiped out by Nashadier's Artillery.

He suddenly roars: "These pieces of trash!"

But very quickly, Sashaer realizes that something is wrong.

Their Artillery are equipped with sabers and shields; because of the special nature of Artillery, long spears are not suitable for them, so they are not equipped with any long-handled weapons.

But these Artillery are equipped with long sabers.

The length of this kind of long saber is exaggerated to a frightening degree.

Sashaer's expression turns cold; although he does not know what this weapon is, he has indeed provided the basic conditions for Nashadier's Artillery to fight cavalry on foot!

An ultra-long attack distance.

And better flexibility than a long spear; the attack range of the saber is the distance covered by the entire blade.

Although long spears are fast and accurate in their attacks, they are relatively singular and cannot achieve large-scale attacks.

"What is this weapon?" Sashaer says in a deep voice.

The French generals are all standing on the city wall, watching those Artillery take down the cavalry with long sabers, still deeply shocked.

To fight cavalry on foot, without the benefit of an ambush, is a feat that is almost impossible to accomplish.

Their thoughts are pulled back by Sashaer.

Looking at that exaggeratedly long saber, they shake their heads one after another.

"Don't know..."

Sashaer's brows furrow slightly; he glances at these high-ranking French generals stationed in Egypt and is very disappointed.

Just at this moment, a heavy voice sounds.

"It is a Miao saber, Longyan's Miao saber!"

Sashaer's pupils shrink slightly; he has never heard of this weapon, and he follows the voice to look over.

An elderly but still imposing French officer gazes at the battlefield.

Sashaer asks in a deep voice: "Military Department Minister, what is a Miao saber?"

"An ancient weapon of Longyan, with a slender blade. I don't know the specifics, but what is certain is that this kind of saber existed in Longyan a long time ago."

"It is from a long time ago; this kind of saber only appeared on the ancient battlefields of Longyan, but because this kind of saber could only be used on special battlefields."

"According to the ancient book I read, it was invented by a great general of Longyan who resisted foreign tribes."

"What!" Sashaer widens his eyes, finding it hard to accept this fact.

Since the Industrial Revolution, even the army has had reforms, adding Musket Teams, Artillery, and so on to the military branches.

They in France have specially developed close-quarters combat weapons for these troops.

Sabers and shields that are easier to carry, but they are also weapons developed on the basis of Infantry.

Their combat effectiveness is only at the standard of Infantry.

However, Longyan's Miao saber has given these Artillery of theirs the possibility of fighting cavalry on foot.

"Miao saber..." A trace of envy flashes in Sashaer's eyes.

He looks at the Nashadier Artillery wielding Miao sabers on the battlefield and says: "Send another Infantry team and Cavalry team to surround and attack them."

"Yes!"

Soon, an Infantry team and a Cavalry team quickly enter the battlefield.

The Artillery and Assault Chariots coordinate, which can be considered evenly matched.

And at this moment on the battlefield, the main attacking Nashadier Outer Square Inner Circle Formation is now receiving fierce counterattacks.

The French Artillery, due to the changes on the battlefield, were restraining the Assault Chariots and Longyan Artillery, but are now restricted.

Just at this moment, the French artillery battery immediately breaks free from the Assault Chariots loaded with explosives and turns to attack the Nashadier formation.

Suddenly, the artillery fire fills the sky.

Countless Cannonballs rain down from the sky.

Under the fierce artillery bombardment, the unstoppable Square Formation of Nashadier was torn open by a gap.

Countless French Cavalry charged inside.

The Outer Square Inner Circle Formation of Nashadier was completely shattered.

Seeing this, Nashadier's expression did not change, and he ordered in a deep voice: "Change formation, split into Circular Formations to break out!"

Beat the drums and strike!

Hearing the drum sounds, the troops of Nashadier changed immediately.

The torn and divided battle formation could no longer close up, but fortunately, the split units leaned against each other to form Circular Formations.

Still with Shield Infantry on the outside, and Spear Infantry next.

The Musket Team was on the innermost side.

Those without Shield Infantry used Spear Infantry in a half-squatting state, with three layers of Spear Infantry, either squatting or standing, forming a battle formation to advance steadily.

Although the French Army had torn apart the troops of Nashadier, they discovered that these split-up units of Nashadier seemed even more troublesome.

The French Infantry launched a charge, but indeed found the effect to be minimal.

It was not that the spears of the Nashadier troops were longer, but that after they formed their formation, their organized and disciplined attacks were simply impossible to resist.

The Spear Infantry covered the crossbowmen and the Musket Team, acting as Shield Infantry when they were out of Crossbow Bolts and Bullet, and launched offensives.

When the crossbowmen and the Musket Team attacked, their ranged attacks, in turn, could perfectly cover the advance of these Spear Infantry.

Although the progress was slow, the battle line was pushing forward bit by bit!

Sashaer saw this scene and was immediately furious: "What on earth did Nashadier learn from the Longyan!"

"How can there be so many strange and bizarre things!"

The Military Department Minister gazed at the battlefield, observing the methodology of the Nashadier troops, and was greatly shocked!

Although he did not know how Nashadier had trained this unit, such a unit that obeyed orders and understood how to maneuver was absolutely a terrifying killing weapon on the battlefield!

The Military Department Minister said in a deep voice: "Order the Musket Team to attack those infantry, and at the same time, have the soldiers prepare the city defense weapons."

"Defend the city? Minister, do you actually think we will be stormed on the city walls by the Nashadier troops!" Sashaer said in a deep voice.

The Military Department Minister looked at him with a complex expression and said: "Yes, I think so."
