Chapter 2010: Sweeping Away Obstacles

Henry and Harris, one is the chieftain of the Wahala Tribe, the other is the leader of the Wahala Tribe.

It can be said that they are extremely familiar with this area.

Letting them clear out the French fortresses in this region could not be more appropriate.

While marching, Harris suddenly said to Henry apologetically: "Henry, I'm sorry, I couldn't help save your father, I could only watch him being beaten to death alive by the French."

Henry turned his head on horseback to look at Harris.

Harris looked at him, and it felt as if a stone were weighing heavily on his heart, pressing down so hard he had no way to breathe.

"For what I have done, I do not ask for forgiveness from you or the people of the Wahala Tribe; even now, I have a clear conscience regarding what I did."

Henry said: "Commander, Nashadier already told me about your situation; if it had been me facing that choice at the time, and not you, I think I would have made the same decision."

"The French must pay a heavy price for the pain they have left upon our tribe!"

"For our tribe, I feel that your judgment was absolutely correct."

"Using the French to keep the French in check."

Henry let out a breath: "I only want to wipe out the French who have harmed our tribe now!"

Hearing this, Harris completely understood what was in Henry's heart, and he suddenly felt relieved.

"Yes, wipe out these French who have harmed us!"

Meanwhile, on the other side, the troops led by Nashadier and Shawn.

This is a mixed force composed of Infantry and Cavalry, with more troops than Henry's unit and stronger combat power, but the marching speed is much slower.

Henry's unit is responsible for clearing fortresses, while this unit's goal is to launch an attack on the French forces.

Attacking the main force of the French troops stationed at the Wahala Tribe.

According to the battle plan, Nashadier's unit will launch an attack on the French troops located at the forefront of the Wahala Tribe.

Henry's unit is responsible for flanking support.

The French troops stationed here are an elite force formed by Smith with five Infantry regiments and one Artillery Cavalry regiment, numbering eight thousand men.

This area at the forefront of the Wahala Tribe is a flat Grassland, without any dangerous terrain.

But long before Nashadier's unit attacked, a large number of defensive preparations had been built here to defend against the Insurgent Army.

Smith, at this moment, had already discerned the marching direction of Nashadier's unit.

He is also at the front of this camp at this time.

Because Henry's Cavalry unit is clearing the fortresses left along his path, Smith has to continue mobilizing troops to reinforce the defense of this area.

Taking down small but capable fortresses, under the joint command of Henry and Harris, was quickly destroyed by the Insurgent Army's units.

The Kite Tactics of Cavalry paired with Musket were developed, and under mobile fire, it almost caused the French troops to collapse.

They simply did not have enough ability to block such an attack.

It could even be said that they could not block it at all.

However, their Cannon did indeed cause no small obstacle to Henry and Harris's units.

Their Cannon had all been given to Nashadier's unit so that he could attack the French main force.

Although they lacked Cannon, this did not mean they had lost the ability to attack.

Don't forget, they still had things like Hand Grenade, which have power comparable to Cannon, under the reinforcement of the Cavalry.

Although the throwing distance of Hand Grenade is increased, War Horse can move quickly.

One only needs to use War Horse to move quickly to the place where they want to throw the Hand Grenade, and then throw out the Hand Grenade with the safety pin pulled.

These Cannon would be broken by the Insurgent Army.

On the battlefield, this way of fighting made the Insurgent Army always successful.

The speed of the Cavalry could not be suppressed by the Infantry of the French troops.

As for the built fortresses, they could not withstand the explosion of Hand Grenade either.

The French fortresses, which already had few guards, were soon destroyed until nothing was left.

And at this time, the troops led by Nashadier had also begun a fierce battle with the team led by Smith.

Nashadier ordered his team to adopt the oblique order of battle.

His troop strength was ultimately weaker than Smith's unit.

That is why he adopted this way of fighting on the Grassland.

But after his unit attacked the French troops, Nashadier immediately mobilized the Artillery to launch an attack from the other end.

Smith did not have much combat experience and did not know what kind of combat method Nashadier was using.

But under this way of fighting, their troops were pinned down by the Insurgent Army and had no way to launch an effective attack.

In this situation, Smith hurriedly asked his adjutant: "What should we do now?"

His adjutant was a general with rich combat experience, but he had been promoted slowly.

The adjutant looked at the battlefield and said coldly: "The Prussian army once used this way of fighting to break the offensive of the Austrian Army; I didn't expect Nashadier to adopt this combat method, but it's a pity this is a plain, not a mountainous area, so the same combat method is not necessarily easy to use!"

He said in a deep voice: "Mobilize the Artillery Unit to bombard them, and at the same time order our troops to advance at full speed and fight while sticking close to Nashadier's unit!"

"So they have no way to harass our troops."

Smith nodded and immediately issued the order to let his Artillery Unit come out to attack.

According to the adjutant's combat method, the effect of this battle was immediate.

Smith's unit soon suppressed Nashadier's unit.

The Artillery range of the French troops could also reach the Insurgent Army, and more importantly, the French troops had a larger number of Artillery.

Under such Artillery attacks, Nashadier's unit was completely suppressed.

Seeing this scene, Nashadier frowned; he had miscalculated, as there was someone in Smith's unit who was experienced in marching and fighting.

They had already seen through his formation.

If things continued like this, his troops might lose this battle.

Shawn said, "General, let me lead the Cavalry to form an assault unit and attack; perhaps that will suppress the enemy's firepower!"

Nashadier, however, let out a laugh: "No need."

Just at this moment, *Bang! *

A dull sound of a Musket rang out across the entire battlefield, but no one noticed where this Bullet had come from.

Yet the target struck was a Cannon operator of the French troops.

The loader saw the Cannon operator beside him, a hole blown through the center of his brow, with red and white matter flowing out, and was given a great fright.

At their current distance, it was impossible for them to be attacked by the Insurgent Army's musketeers.

But the Cannon operator had indeed been shot and killed by a Musket.

Something that absolutely could not appear on the battlefield had suddenly appeared, and everyone felt a chill in their hearts.

And just at this moment, another gunshot rang out, *Bang! *

The French Cannon operators suffered another casualty.

Shawn observed that the French Cannon offensive on the battlefield seemed to have weakened, and he was slightly stunned; he looked at Nashadier beside him, falling into confusion.
