Chapter 1869: A Vast Disparity

At this time, Egypt.

Ever since Jiang Xuan started the war with the French Colonial Zone.

Dike has regretted it; not only did they in Britain help the Dragon Flame Army pin down the French troops, but they also helped them capture three mineral veins.

But Dike has already withdrawn his troops, and it will not be so simple to send them out again.

Fortunately, Luojinsi thought of a good Method, while the Dragon Flame Army is clashing with the French troops.

Their British troops will attack other Colonial Areas of the French on the African continent, so as to make up for the losses.

The Battleships of Britain headed majestically toward other colonies in Africa.

And of all this, the French are completely unaware.

……

At this moment, in the French Colonial Zone in Egypt.

Dawn's command post.

Jiang Xuan uses War-Nourished Warfare, and his speed of attack is very fast, making it difficult for the French troops to block him; however, Dawn still mobilized French troops to stop Jiang Xuan's continued advance.

The situation was barely maintained, but although the battle with Jiang Xuan was maintained.

Yet within the French territory, fighting has broken out.

Nashadier joined forces with Shawn's Uprising Army Alliance to raid the granary.

It directly cut off the important supplies for the French troops, which will cause great losses to the front line.

Without supplies, the situation that was finally maintained will be broken again.

Helpless, Dawn gritted his teeth and squeezed out another 10,000 troops to suppress the Uprising Army Alliance of Nashadier and Shawn.

Attempting to recapture the stolen granary.

But this war had already been anticipated by many people.

At this moment, Nashadier and Shawn are preparing for this upcoming battle.

Their troop strength here is only 8,000 men.

Nashadier has 2,000 Cavalry, and Shawn has 6,000 troops gathered from multiple tribes.

But their equipment is extremely poor.

Shawn's side is the Wanjia Army, with all kinds of weapons; some soldiers even took farm tools to the battlefield.

The 6,000 men could not even scrape together ten horses, and they had no Cavalry.

Nashadier's side is a little better, but only a little.

They have 2,000 War Horses and are all-Cavalry.

But that is all.

Because of the control of weapons, they do not have any decent weapons in their hands, but they are not at the point of holding farm tools.

However, fortunately, after the battle at the granary, they captured some Black Powder and equipment.

They can be considered to have left the stage of no longer using farm tools as weapons.

Nashadier also used this Black Powder to create a simplified version of a Landmine.

Shawn does not know how powerful this thing is, but he can see how cautious and careful Nashadier was when making it.

When he saw the lethal amount of Black Powder in the jar, he understood; this thing might not be as miraculous as Nashadier boasted, but with so much Black Powder ignited in such a confined space.

He still knew exactly how great the explosive power produced would be.

He no longer doubted whether this Black Powder was useful, but looked forward to how much damage this thing could cause to the incoming French troops.

"Everyone be careful, this thing is no joke!" Shawn commanded his men.

"Remember not to place them too tightly," Nashadier also commanded from the side.

But the soldiers were skeptical about these bombs made from clay jars.

It was not that they looked down on Nashadier, but that they had never seen this kind of bomb and did not know how powerful it would be after the explosion.

After they placed these Landmines according to the requirements of Nashadier and Shawn, they breathed a sigh of relief.

And at this time, an urgent military report was sent over.

"General, the French

troops are rushing here, and judging by the scale, the number is not small!"

Hearing this news, Nashadier and Shawn both braced themselves.

"Quick, quickly bury these Landmines; absolutely do not let the French troops notice anything!"

Everyone immediately became busy, and the Landmines had not yet been buried.

"The French troops are still thirty miles away from us, there is not much time left!"

There was urgency on everyone's faces.

Shawn gave a low-voiced order to leave one team to bury the Landmines, and the rest of the people to notify the troops to immediately lie in ambush.

Nashadier likewise said: "Henry, lead the Cavalry to ambush on the left and right sides; after the Landmines explode, you launch a charge from the left and right sides to tear apart the formation of the French troops!"

"Yes!"

The Uprising Army Alliance and Nashadier's troops prepared according to the combat plan they had worked out.

"The enemy is twenty miles away from us!"

Nashadier looked at the remaining Landmines and hurriedly buried them.

The distance of twenty miles is already very close; according to the marching speed of the French troops, they will arrive before long.

They could no longer afford to delay.

"The enemy is ten miles away!"

Shawn, Nashadier, and the others quickly cleared the road conditions on this stretch of path and used leaves to cover it.

After finishing this, Shawn and Nashadier immediately hid in a nearby house.

This is a plain with no overly steep hills, but there were residents here before; ever since the war arrived, they had long since fled.

Now, this place is uninhabited.

Nashadier breathed calmly, eyes fixed intently on the horizon, while Shawn was right beside him, also watching the horizon.

Time ticked away, and beads of nervous sweat dripped from Nashadier's forehead.

Just at this moment, the flags of the French troops appeared on the horizon.

Shawn's pupils suddenly constricted, and he lowered his body further to remain more concealed.

The others held their breath, staring nervously at the French troops.

They did not seem to notice the landmines buried ahead, nor did they see the trap.

Shawn's heart rose to his throat as he looked at the number of French troops and the Weaponry and Equipment they held in their hands, which were far better than theirs.

If they charged with the weapons in their hands, it was very likely they would be countered and killed by the French troops using their advantage in weaponry.

Watching the French troops step onto the landmines, Shawn swallowed hard.

Boom!

A massive explosion sent dust and smoke rising.

Time seemed to fall into a standstill at this moment.

When Shawn looked at the battlefield again, he discovered that many French Soldiers had died because of the landmine explosion, and his brain temporarily went blank.

He turned his head to look at Nashadier and gave a thumbs up; at this moment, he heard the other person murmur, "I didn't expect it to actually succeed."

Shawn was stunned, but he saw Nashadier stand up, wave his Command Saber forward, and shout loudly, "Kill!"

"Kill all these French!"

Nashadier's troops charged out from the left and right sides; ignited by this emotion, Shawn stood up, took out the Musket in his hand, and shouted loudly, "Charge, brothers!"

"Drive these French out!"

Shawn's Insurgent Army charged out in a mighty force.

And amidst the dust, the French troops, having experienced the explosion, had not yet had time to react.

They could not even see what kind of enemy had appeared in front of them.

The commander shouted in a panic, "Don't panic, don't panic, maintain formation, maintain formation!" The recent transcoding is severe; to give us more motivation to update faster, please use your hands to exit reading mode. Thank you.
