Chapter 1806: Siege

On the city wall, the city-defending general watched his troops being gradually swallowed up, his heart burning with anxiety.

He had to come up with a response plan, otherwise, his troops would be eaten by the Longyan Army.

Then the next step for the Longyan Army would be to lay siege to the city.

At that time, they would have no forces left to block the momentum of the Longyan Army's advance.

"Reinforcements, send reinforcements!"

"We absolutely cannot let the Longyan Army eat our troops!" the city-defending general roared.

The general under his command remained unmoved.

The city-defending general turned his head to look at his subordinate, drew his sword in a rage, and held it to the other's neck: "I told you to send reinforcements, did you hear me!"

"General, the troops currently remaining in the city are all here to defend against the Longyan Army scaling the walls."

"These forces, under no circumstances can they be moved!" the general said firmly.

The city-defending general looked at this stubborn stance, wanting to kill him but unable to; killing a general before battle was a great taboo, but the troops sent out to fight were already about to be swallowed by the Longyan Army.

The city-defending general walked angrily to the front of the formation and scolded: "Open the city gates, send reinforcements!"

But seeing no one move, going out of the city to attack now was a dead end!

The city-defending general rushed over with his sword, about to kill one to warn the hundred, but suddenly felt a chill in his chest!

A long sword pierced through the city-defending general's chest, and blood flowed freely.

Seeing this scene, the city-defending general's face turned pale, and he turned his head to look at that general.

He withdrew his sword and said coldly: "General, we absolutely cannot watch this city be lost."

"Our goal is to hold back the Longyan Army, not to let the Longyan Army pass!"

"You!" the city-defending general stared at him fixedly, and fell down, dying with his eyes wide open in resentment.

This general shouted coldly: "The general was afraid of battle and has now been executed by me. The rest of you, hurry and prepare thunder stones and rolling logs; we absolutely cannot let the Longyan Army scale the walls!"

"Yes."

Just at this moment, the Longyan Army had already finished off the French troops who had come out of the city to meet them and was about to cross the bridge.

The bridge built by the French over the moat was a bridge made of wood.

Having experienced the previous battle, this bridge was covered in scars, but it was not difficult to cross the bridge and the river.

The Longyan Army gained control of the bridge and quickly crossed the river; the French troops had no way to stop them.

The general who had seized power saw the Longyan Army already bearing down on the city, pointed his sword at the city gate, and

shouted: "Attack!"

"Absolutely do not let the Longyan Army lay siege to the city!"

The Longyan Army moved their Siege Cannons to the opposite bank of the moat.

The distance to the city wall could be said to be very close.

Boom—!

Ninety Siege Cannons rang out in unison once again, and a large hole was soon blasted into the city wall by the Longyan Army.

The French general had not anticipated such a situation at all.

The ninety Siege Cannons roared again, and the wall built by the French immediately fell apart and completely collapsed.

The general standing on the wall, still waiting for the Longyan Army to scale the wall and attack, was still waiting for the Longyan Army to scale the wall at the very last moment.

But Jiang Xuan told him with the actual result.

The era has changed...

The era of using Scaling Ladders, Flying Shuttles, and catapults to lay siege to cities has already passed.

The invention of Siege Cannons and Flintlocks has already changed the current way of fighting.

Defending a city no longer relies on high, sturdy walls and holding strategic positions.

With Siege Cannons, no matter how thick the wall is, as long as there is enough explosive, the wall can be completely destroyed.

Now, laying siege to a city relies on Cannons, relies on technology, and relies on massive amounts of wealth.

In less than a day, the Longyan Army took another city in Egypt.

In a short span of seven days, from the start of the offensive, the Longyan Army had raided a thousand miles through the French Colonial Zone and broken four cities in a row.

Such a battle record of Jiang Xuan is enough to be recorded in history!

"Enter the city!"

Jiang Xuan ordered in a deep voice.

After the city was broken, the remaining French troops had no ability to resist at all and were quickly cleared out by the Longyan Army.

Jiang Xuan entered the city, did not stay long, and soon set off on his journey to attack the next French town.

And at the same time, on the other side of Egypt.

After Nashadier killed Ika and exposed the matter of the chieftain.

The entire French Colonial Zone was completely boiling; for most Arab tribes, those who could become chieftains were all highly respected people.

Now such big news had been exposed.

Their chieftain was killed, and the French were forcibly conscripting troops.

The name of Nashadier completely resounded through the Arab tribes of the French Colonial Zone, and he was regarded as a hero.

But, Nashadier was now suffering from serious injuries.

Of the hundred brothers who fought with him, fewer than ten remained now.

The losses from this operation were extremely severe.

After suffering such a heavy blow, Nashadier was not discouraged.

He knew all of this was worth it.

Now the fury of the Arab tribes had been thoroughly ignited, and he could already foresee what was about to happen throughout the French Colonial Zone.

"Marina, tell me what has happened recently." Nashadier woke up from the bed.

Marina hurried over, sat down beside Nashadier, and served him as he sat up.

"Master, I heard recently that France and Britain have declared a truce; France gave up three mineral veins, and Shawn has established an organization to oppose France."

"Usually, such an organization would quickly be purged by French troops, but now the French seem to be turning a blind eye to this matter."

"Even Ika, the general stationed in the French Colonial Area, was killed without causing any turmoil."

Hearing this information, Nashadier's eyes lit up.

The French troops had declared a truce with Britain, so they should have freed up their forces.

Yet they were not in a hurry to suppress the insurgent forces within the Colonial Area, but were instead watching them grow stronger.

"Master, this does not seem like the style of the French."

Nashadier laughed: "They have encountered a greater crisis; otherwise, how could they not come back to deal with the rebellion now?"

He already knew that Jiang Xuan had begun his move; it seemed that during the time he had been inciting the uprising, Jiang Xuan had already led the Dragon Flame Army across the Nile River and launched an attack.

Since that was the case, he stood up abruptly and put on his clothes.

Marina frowned; Nashadier's wounds had not yet healed, so where was he going now?

"Master, your wounds are very serious and you need to recuperate."

Nashadier glanced at her, and Marina dared not speak.

He walked over with a vigorous, dragon-like stride, pinched Marina's lowered head, lifted it gently, looked at the panic and unease in the Beauty's eyes, and kissed her fiercely.

Marina was stunned, but her heart was in turmoil.

After a long while, Nashadier looked at her and said: "I am going to handle some small matters; you stay here and do not wander off."

Nashadier turned and left; after he was gone, Marina felt a sense of emptiness in her heart.

She knew what Nashadier was going to do; he was going to lead those tribes to unite and resist the French troops.

But right now, Nashadier still had very serious wounds on his body.

Looking at the horsewhip in the room, Marina hesitated for a moment, then grabbed the horsewhip, mounted a horse, and left!
