Chapter 2626
"How to keep it?"
Jiang Xuan also shook his head.
Although there are complaints all over the place, since it is the task assigned by the young master, it must be completed at the risk of one's life! In fact, Ling Chen had already issued an order to temporarily shelve the development of India. No matter what, he must give him at least five
Ten thousand troops are coming.
However, this still takes time.
Jiang Xuan also knew very well that Nashadir's mob could not withstand the attack of the British army. All he could do was to delay as much time as possible.
The war in Jinghua is over, and Lingchen's request for help from India can come as soon as possible.
However, Jiang Xuan knew this truth, and so did the British army.
Now, the most important thing is time. If we really wait for Liu Zheng to finish handling domestic matters before taking action, it will be difficult to get Suez.
The British army is ready and is about to attack.
This time, they divided their forces into two groups. Hans' army attacked from the front, while Logins' navy attacked the Yinzhou ship from the flanks.
In the past, Logins did not dare to have any thoughts about the Longyan fleet in the Suez area. The firepower of the five Yinzhou ships was far beyond the reach of his fleet.
But now, Liu Zheng has taken away three ships, and this Suez only has two ships left.
In this way, they will have the confidence to capture these two Yinzhou ships!
...
At night, with the sound of a cannon, the position of Nashadir's men suddenly turned into a sea of fire!
The British Army poured all its artillery fire on the other side of the Suez Canal!
This time, they don't pay attention to any tactics. Since they already have an absolute advantage, they must use their powerful momentum to destroy Nashadir's position like a tiger descending a mountain!
After being covered by artillery fire, 200,000 troops rushed across the river in boats.
However, the last round of artillery fire coverage did not destroy Nashadir's defense force, because Jiang Xuan had already expected that the enemy would come up with such a move, so he dug an air-raid shelter under the position early.
After the artillery fire ended, the soldiers reentered their positions, aiming their muskets and crossbows at the crossing British army.
When the British army approached, a general gave an order and fired muskets and crossbows. Countless projectiles and arrows covered the British army.
The British soldiers at the front went directly to see God. However, this did not slow down their attack. There were still countless ships heading towards the other side of the river.
At this time, General Hans was also surprised that he was able to organize a powerful counterattack after suffering such a violent bombardment.
It seems that this Sudanese army is very resilient.
Although it was unexpected, Hans was not nervous. If one round of artillery fire didn't blast it all, he would fire a second round. Now, the most indispensable thing in his military camp is artillery shells.
After the British artillery was ready, several rounds of artillery fire blasted towards the Sudanese army's position.
The first time they relied on the cover of the air-raid shelter, the Sudanese army's losses were not large, but this time, they were on the position, and now they could not avoid the artillery fire.
The sergeants were exposed to the coverage of the artillery fire, and immediately a large group of them were overturned by the artillery fire.
The sergeants were unable to lift their heads from the shells, and the British soldiers who crossed over successfully landed!
At this time, the artillery fire stopped, but British soldiers continued to pour ashore and started hand-to-hand combat with the Sudanese army in position.
Most of the Sudanese troops were cavalry, and their ability to dismount and fight was slightly inferior. Although there were less than 20,000 British troops on the current position, they had been completely suppressed in terms of momentum.
Seeing this scene, Nashadir became anxious.
The British army's offensive was so fast that he didn't even have a chance to surrender!
"Little general, you should make up your mind. If we can't hold the river bank, all of us will die!" Nashadir urged.
This time, it was Jiang Xuan who was in charge of the guard battle.
"Stop making noise! Leave me alone!"
Jiang Xuan scolded him sternly. He thought that these 50,000 people would be able to resist the river and defend for ten days and a half. Unexpectedly, they were defeated as soon as they entered the battle.
It's so weak that it's hard to imagine.
It is better to ask for help than to ask for help from others. At this time, we can only rely on the Dark Night Legion.
"Tell your soldiers to hold the position on the river bank while I intercept their reinforcements!" Jiang Xuan said, and set off with his Thousand Dark Night Legion.
