The third more

The situation in northern Egypt is a nerve tugging in Cairo, and since the war with the British, all kinds of turbulent undercurrents have begun to emerge from beneath the surface.

Arabi's Fatherland Party cabinet was not as calm as he had imagined, and after the fall of Alexandria Harbor, some advocates of peace and surrender began to surface.

Some intended to make peace with the British, others intended to cooperate with the Franco-German coalition. Because their military strength seems to be enough to match the other side.

The first to speak at the meeting was Youssef, who believed that after the loss of Alexandria, the Egyptian army's opportunity to fight was gone, so the key now was to seize the core.

"The northern part of Egypt has fallen extensively, and we cannot stop the advance of the British troops. The French and Germans laid heavy troops along the Suez Canal, but they just didn't advance half a step and watched from the sidelines. Now Egypt's military forces deployed in the north cannot compete with the British at all, their armaments are more advanced than ours, the number of troops is more than ours, and more importantly, Egypt is now fighting alone! ”

Yusuf angrily said to Arabi, "Our soldiers are bleeding, and we can only watch them die!" ”

Arabi pointed at Yusuf and emphasized, "All of us are bleeding, not just the troops on the northern front. ”

He retorted to Youssef in a cold voice, "These French people have chosen not to attack, which is already the greatest mercy to us. It's hard enough to deal with an Englishman, and I don't want to run into a French army. They just want to guarantee that the interests of the Suez Canal will not be violated in any way, and the British are ready to take the lives of all of us! You'd better find out who our real enemy really is, and then talk to me about it. ”

As the leader of the Motherland Party, Alabi must stabilize everyone's hearts, and he doesn't want to be a slow mess inside before the real war has begun.

Arabi looked at the map calmly and said slowly, "The British are advancing, and we have to stop the invaders near the village of Doval, the terrain here is steep, easy to defend and difficult to attack. If we stop the British from advancing, it means that the war has become a tug-of-war. ”

Although Yusuf didn't say anything, deep down he didn't think much of Arabi's plan.

Pinning the key factor in the decisive victory is a foolish and wrong choice in itself, the French can betray Egypt for profit at any time, and what the Fatherland Party cabinet should do is to strive for peace with the British, not to fight with the British to the end.

Arabi put it bluntly, "Once it becomes a tug-of-war, the scales of victory are not in favor of the British army." The French will keep their promise to keep only the Suez Canal area, and will not rush into our war. ”

"So the British Army, which has only 20,000 men, is our goal, to expel them all from the land of Egypt!"

The order to hold on to the death was given from Cairo, and all the troops had been driven to the point where there was no way back, and they could no longer retreat.

They held their defensive line near the village of Doval and waited for reinforcements, gathering their forces for a decisive battle.

The Egyptians had no way to retreat, and if they retreated, they would be forced to Cairo, and once Cairo fell, the British would be equivalent to occupying the whole country.

It's just that they all feel very strange why the French are still slow to do it, is they

After setting foot on the desert land of Egypt, the British army seemed to have run out of luck, and after leaving the coastline without artillery cover, but Wolseley feared that the French would make a move, so when everything else could follow, he resolutely decided to let the vanguard take the lead in the clash and attack, and take advantage of the victory to pursue the remnants of the enemy.

Before the attack of the British army north of the village of Doval, the attack was so easy that the panicked Egyptians looked to them like lambs to the slaughter, only to be killed.

It's just that when they advanced to the village of Doval, they finally felt the real pressure.

The Egyptians formed a heavy army here, slowing down the advance of the British army in this place. However, Wolseley's recklessness and adventure eventually allowed Arabi to find an opportunity to take advantage of.

Wolseley panicked when he heard the information that Arabi was preparing to gather a heavy army. They had no heavy artillery and naval artillery support, and they had relied on a single blow in Alexandria, and if they did not take it now, but hesitated, they would have lost Egypt sooner or later.

The panic influenced Wolseley's decision, and he made a move that put the British army in danger.

Reckless forward.

His approach fell into Arabi's ambush, and the British, who were at the forefront, thought that the defenders of the village of Doval were the same as the troops they had encountered before, and they casually charged and surrendered.

However, this time they were wrong.

What awaited the British was the artillery and machine guns of the Egyptian army, and Napoleon's selfless military assistance finally played a key role in this difficult town.

As the familiar sound of machine guns rang out, the British, who rushed to the front, sketched out the nightmare they had encountered in the Transvaal War.

The British soldiers who rushed to the front were harvested and fell like wheat mangs, and they witnessed the scene of blood splattering with their own eyes. The bullet tore through the chest of his companion and penetrated the limbs and torso.

Seeing this scene, they remembered the fear that the Maxim machine gun brought to the British.

The fall was followed by the soldiers of the second platoon, and even the scattered charge did not have the slightest advantage in front of the Maxim machine guns.

The soldiers at the front of the charge subconsciously lay on the ground, but the Turks did not know that Maxim heavy machine guns were installed on the high ground to deal with the British attack.

"Retreat, retreat."

After leaving behind dozens of corpses, the British began to retreat in a panic, completely unaware that the Egyptians had already laid an ambush here to calculate themselves. Unbeknownst to Wolseley, Egyptian reinforcements were coming, and the contact was merely a signal of the last Egyptian revolt.

The oppressed, enslaved Egyptians by the British, are rushing to the battlefield of this decisive battle.

With a fierce hatred for Great Britain, they vented their anger on the red-uniformed lobster soldiers.

Just like the policy of national oppression that Arabi hated, he was convinced that all human beings are born free and enjoy equal freedom and inviolable personal rights, and advocated that the people of Egypt should treat each other as equals and live in harmony.

"We were created to be free men, not to be other people's heritage and inheritance. I swear to the one and only God: from now on, we will never be taken as heirs or enslaved by man. ”

Arabi's emancipation proclamation inspired the oppressed people to move forward and fight to the death against the British.

However, neither the British nor the Egyptians knew that the gods of war in the Suez Canal were ready to shock the world once again.

The Imperial God of War in the darkness slowly opened his eyes.
