Chapter 1904: Battle Strategy

Three days later.

The French Soldier units created a battle plan based on that fake Longyan City defense map.

First of all, cutting off the Longyan Army's supply lines was unlikely.

Judging from the defense map, the Longyan Army had countless supply lines; the entire Longyan City was a massive arsenal and grain warehouse, making it impossible to cut off Longyan's supply lines.

If they wanted to capture Longyan City, there were only two paths to choose from: annihilate the Longyan Army or exhaust the supplies of Longyan City.

However, judging from the current situation, such a war of attrition was almost unlikely to succeed, as Longyan City was currently the largest trading city in North America.

No one knew how many supplies it had stored.

Kenteer had to fight a Lightning War to quickly disintegrate the Longyan Army's strength and break through the Longyan Army.

But given this situation, what should they do?

Kenteer thought of a good Method: to remove the Longyan Army's defensive forces in the main areas of Longyan City.

By eliminating and weakening the Longyan Army's forces, he would restrain their ability to attack.

The French Soldier units would take the opportunity to attack the Longyan Army and breach the city gates.

His battle plan was approved by all the generals.

The operation officially began.

Kenteer personally led one unit to attack the stronghold at the southern end of Longyan City, pinning down the opponent's firepower, and then flanked the Longyan Army units from the rear right.

He made the Longyan Army believe that their units were going to attack Longyan City from the southern end, forcing the Longyan Army to mobilize troops to the southern end.

On the battlefield, the Longyan Army's southern stronghold encountered an attack from the French Soldier units.

The French Soldier units possessed an absolute numerical advantage at the southern end; under such an advantage, even if the Longyan Army resisted to the death, they could not slow down the pace of the French Soldier units' attack.

And now, the defense system that Qin Zhangfeng had set up near Longyan City played a key role.

Soon, the Longyan Army assembled at the southern end to defend against the sneak attack by the French Soldier units.

Qin Zhangfeng also learned of the French Soldier units' attack target at the first moment and gave a cold laugh: "As expected, they started the attack from the southern end."

Yes, all of this was within Qin Zhangfeng's expectations.

Among the two maps he leaked to the French Soldier units, the real one had less information, but it did indeed record the correct defense information of the Longyan Army.

And in the fake one, the defense system at the southern end was much more complex than what the French Soldier units saw.

He had deliberately left a flaw on the surface at the southern end to lure the French Soldier units into attacking there.

And at this moment, the Longyan Army personally led by Qin Zhangfeng also sortied from a hidden stronghold at the southern end.

It is as the saying goes: it is darkest under the lamp.

The French Soldier units never dreamed that while they were fighting, the real attack against them was launched from a mountain stream less than twenty kilometers away from the battlefield, heading toward their French position.

As for how the Longyan Army found the French position, that was even simpler; they had been watching the entire way that Bob fled.

It was Bob who led them to find the French position.

At this moment, Kenteer was completely unaware.

Now, the entanglement with the Longyan units all seemed to be developing according to his script.

The battlefield at the southern end soon stabilized, and they attracted a large number of Longyan unit reinforcements.

Seeing so many reinforcing Longyan units, Kenteer grinned and laughed.

The more Longyan Army troops they attracted, the safer their own units would be.

The probability of attacking Longyan City directly and winning would also be greater.

Kenteer issued an order: "Continue the attack, fire all the Cannonballs!"

The French Cannons displayed great power on the battlefield, just like the high morale of the French.

Under such fierce artillery fire, there was nothing that could not be destroyed.

"Feu!"

"Feu!"

"Feu!"

The Longyan Army, hiding under the noses of the French, listened to the French commander on the ground shouting loudly.

"What are they shouting?"

"Sounds like 'foo'?"

"What does it mean?"

"Don't know, can't understand French."

"Forget it, but to be fair, these French Soldier units really have a lot of Cannonballs; they've been bombarding our fake targets for ten minutes and are still firing. They must have fired over a hundred Cannonballs by now."

"About that. They've been developing in America for so many years, so it's normal for them to have some family assets."

"Don't worry about that, we'll just stay here, and when these things get tired of firing, we'll strike then."

After a while, the Longyan Army ambushed below heard the artillery fire on the ground gradually subside.

The French looked at the destroyed Longyan positions on the battlefield ahead, which were now devoid of life and left only as scorched earth.

Kenteer laughed, which meant that all the Longyan Army units on the southern battlefield had been routed by him.

"These yellow-skinned monkeys, they brag every day about how great their combat is; now it seems they are just a group of soldiers who only know how to brag."

Looking at the Longyan positions ahead that had turned into scorched earth and were still smoking, the French Soldier units also relaxed their vigilance.

Just at this moment, gunfire suddenly appeared in front of them.

A French Soldier was still grinning toward the Longyan Army, but a bloody hole appeared in his head, and he fell to the ground with a bang, unable to get up.

Before the French Soldier units could react, a sudden change occurred!

A team of Longyan Army suddenly appeared near them, and the Weaponry and Equipment in the hands of these Longyan Army were extremely sophisticated.

Kenteer widened his eyes, unable to believe how these Longyan troops had returned from the dead.

The French troops were attacked by the Longyan troops at such close range that they were quickly scattered.

The Cannon had lost its effectiveness at such close range, and they had already been completely wiped out by Cannonball fire just moments ago.

Kenteer roared: "Everyone, do not panic, maintain formation and fight!"

However, this wave of close-quarters combat by the Longyan troops completely disrupted the formation of the French troops, rendering their firearms useless.

Before they could even employ their cold weapons, they were already cut down by the Longyan troops.

Seeing this, Kenteer could only order: "Retreat!"

This unit had come to pin down the Longyan troops, and now that his objective had been achieved, most of the Longyan troops were under his containment; this suddenly appearing unit was not large in number, just difficult to deal with.

Once their French troops withdrew from the city walls and reorganized for battle, there would be nothing to fear from the Longyan troops.

However, things went against his wishes.

Kenteer wanted to withdraw, but Chali had a Method to continue the retreat.

Not only were there Longyan troop ambushes here, but there were also traps carefully prepared by the Longyan troops.

Kenteer watched as those French Soldier who stepped on the Longyan troops' Landmine were blown to pieces.

With flesh and blood splattered onto his face, Kenteer's expression became extremely grim!

"Retreat, retreat quickly!"

This was already an ambush circle of the Longyan troops; Kenteer's troops had only attacked dummies prepared by the Longyan troops.

However, Kenteer had indeed pinned down the majority of the Longyan troops.

But in Kenteer's plan, the unit that launched the attack had also been assaulted by the Longyan troops.

Just at this moment, a massive explosion occurred not far from the battlefield.

Kenteer looked at the direction of the explosion, utterly stunned: "This, how can this be!"

That was the unit he had dispatched to attack Longyan City.
