Muhammad Ali, having received the news of the arrival of the French army, organized his troops to prepare for battle, and at the same time whispered to Murad Bey about the situation.

Muradebey, who has had his current status by intriguing with people all his life, of course he will not believe in any coincidences, and he immediately thought that Wu Xin was the enemy's internal response.

Uncle Murad clenched his scimitar tightly while turning his mind around the question, whether to kill Wu Xin and them first, so as not to be pitted by this group of people during the battle.

His gesture is so obvious that the old Copt, Jom, also sees the problem.

He repeatedly assured Murad Bey and Muhammad Ali that we Copts were loyal to the Caliphate, and that Grand Sibo could not be a spy of the French, and that he still could not alleviate the imminent situation.

At this time, Murad Bey's Egyptian subordinates also learned of the presence of an enemy.

A commotion immediately erupted in the crowd, all kinds of crying fathers and mothers, or kneeling on the ground begging for the protection of the Lord of the Stars and Moon.

Muhammad Ali's men, though terrified, were able to prepare for battle, and when Murad Bey's men heard that the French were coming again, they were immediately terrified and wanted to flee.

"Don't be afraid, there are more than 100 French guys, but they are just local chickens and tile dogs in front of me!" Wu Xin shouted, he had been waiting for this news for a long time.

Before everyone could react, Wu Xin first gave Muhammad Ali a "secondary flame blade", and then walked out of the warehouse with Villefort, Colmona, and Yara.

If this magic were given to Murad Beyi or someone else, it would probably cause them to panic.

But Muhammad Ali was shocked and immediately realized that Wu Xin was proving his innocence.

Although this evidence was insufficient, he could not make up his mind to abandon such a generous spellcaster before the matter was decided.

He raised his spear with a pointed head and a fiery spear, and then shouted to his men: "Array! ”

Wu Xin: They were not Napoleon's vanguard. But he did provide the coordinates to General Abdullah Menua.

Although the control of the sea was in the hands of the British, the French controlled the Nile with a few strong fortresses at the mouth of the river.

Napoleon was well aware of the mobility that the river fleet could help his army, and he built a sizable Nile fleet to supply and mobilize his army.

General Menoy and Joel rode together in a boat to pursue the Copts with the "treasure of the ancient capital of Thebes".

At one point, Joel was worried about whether Wu Xin's contact information was effective. Fortunately, his worries are superfluous, the "Secret Spider", as a core-level strange thing, has such limited combat power, if the transmission of news is no longer reliable, it will really be a trick.

Passing only between two people, it has a range of several kilometers and can be launched to cross rivers.

Wu Xin wasted a little time at the Great Pyramid last night, and was actually waiting for the French to chase him out.

He then used the "Secret Spider" to communicate with Joel, who was half an hour behind them, in the Nile, and finally succeeded in luring the French to the manor that hid the defeated Ottoman army.

This night. The Secret Spider ran several times between Wu Xin and Joel, acting as a guide for the French army, and its speed was not slower than that of a river fish, and much faster than a boat in the Nile.

"This spider is one of the treasures dug up from the ancient city of Thebes?" Menois walked down the path of the manor, not at all worried about the battle that was about to begin.

Although there were very few French troops stationed in Cairo, because of the valuable information provided by Joel, he brought a company of 100 men with great money. There are also some of his own soldiers, which are already extremely luxurious security forces.

The French army in their early 100s against the Ottoman army in their early 300. What else could be wrong with this?

"Well, it is said that it was once the funerary object of a great pharaoh." Joel answered this answer according to Wu Xin's request.

"It's an amazing masterpiece." General Menoy made no secret of the fact that he coveted this strange object.

From the first sight of this spider, the well-informed General Menuwa was fascinated by it.

The Copts actually hold such a treasure.

The manufacturing process of this spider exceeds the limits of this world, it is so beautiful at first glance, and although it is not very effective in combat, it is very useful for high-ranking officers.

For Wu Xin, who only has a total of hundreds of standing troops, he feels that it is a chicken rib. If it was given to Napoleon and Mennois, who had tens of thousands of troops, it would have become a great treasure.

The ability to communicate between the main forces and the Einsatzgruppen will be greatly enhanced.

After leading the Einsatzgruppen to launch a detour, the contact with the team was cut off, and there were all kinds of accidents in the scheduled contact method, and the general could only rely on his own intuition. will love this little thing the most.

This alone would give the French at least half a chance of victory in the face of a combined Anglo-Ottoman attack.

Although he had already defeated the Ottoman 50,000-man attack several times, Menuwa knew that this was just a warm-up game, and the real challenge was still to come.

For the French Republic to truly gain a foothold in Egypt, it had to repel a combined Anglo-Ottoman amphibious attack.

It was a battle that would be extremely difficult to fight, for the fleet that had been defending the French landing had been completely destroyed, and now that the British had sea supremacy, they had complete strategic freedom, and the long coastline from Egypt to Syria could provoke enemy attacks at every turn.

Although he was a man who could sell his name for the sake of power and wealth, General Menuwa restrained himself.

Because this treasure made him believe Joel's words, the Copts did know about the tombs of the ancient Egyptian pharaohs, the tombs that had not been opened.

This spider is indeed the style of the Copts, and Menois made up his homework before coming to Egypt, knowing the local ethnic situation, and knowing that the Copts did worship spiders.

Although I didn't know the existence of the goddess Rose, it was only because in this era, knowledge about this goddess was too rare.

Menois led the French army in a dense battle formation in front of the warehouse, ready to charge.

This was not a common tactic in the French army today, and Napoleon placed great emphasis on the significance of skirmishers, and this formation was abandoned by him for a time.

Divide your troops into smaller formations, then use spellcasters and projectiles to break up as close formations as possible, damaging your enemies before they even engage in white-knuckle combat.

This tactic requires much higher requirements for officers at all levels than in dense formations. The projection ability is also relatively demanding, but with the increase in literacy rate and the ability to collect spellcasting materials, this tactic has shown its own advanced nature.

In the Old Continent, Napoleon relied on the Austrian and Prussian armies, which had been heavily defeated in skirmishers.

This was only the beginning, and in the near future Napoleon would use it to completely bury the tactical idea of "huddle together as much as possible". As well as the honor of the conservative servicemen who used such tactics.

However, this tactic did not seem to be very effective in the Black Continent, and in many battles, many French generals found that both Egyptian and Turkish soldiers performed far better in skirmishes than in hand-to-hand combat.

Shooting arrows and throwing magic from afar, the French army did not have a big advantage, but engaged in white-knuckle combat, which often sealed the victory quickly, and at a small cost.

This is the case. Napoleon's analysis was that the Austrian and Prussian armies had always been opponents of the same grade as the French army, and new tactics were developed against such an enemy.

And the enemies of the Black Continent are too far behind, and the new tactics are not targeted, and the old station techniques of the Old Continent are more suitable for dealing with them.

Moreover, the bureaucratic systems of Austria and Prussia were also much more efficient than those of the Ottoman Empire, so the caster materials of the Prussians were much more abundant and the threat to the French army was much greater.

The French army was divided into smaller units, also to make it easier to avoid the threat of mages.

Of course, General Menua never considered such a thing. Military things, Napoleon liked to think. And if he is really good at thinking, then let him think, and then Menuwa will draw a gourd like that.

So much oil and water to scrape, so many strange things to hug, where does he have time to think about such a trivial matter.

Deal with a weak enemy and fire a round of artillery. Then the charge works best.

Today, the ship is small and does not bring artillery, so it is better to charge directly into the group.

Menuwa raised his weapon, a sword, and shouted to his men, "Listen to me!" ”

"Ready!"

"Moving forward!"

With Menuis giving an order. A hundred people began to move forward in one step.

The army of the republic, armed with revolutionary ideas, was indeed the strongest of its time, and they spent the night on ships and then marched in unfamiliar places, full of hostile and suspicious inhabitants, and they did not have effective maps.

This required a constant high level of vigilance on the part of the French soldiers, which greatly drained their energy.

Although there is an "internal response", Wu Xin, the leading party, also has a dark eye for geography and does not dare to guide the way at all, so he completely relies on the strong pioneers of the French army to arrive so quickly.

Not to mention that many soldiers also have seasickness reactions.

These disadvantages are not present to the enemy.

Despite the hasty retreat, the old Copts Jom provided them with good food, and the storehouse, although crowded, was able to provide them with shelter from the elements.

Despite this, none of them had the courage to fight, even if the enemy was only a little more than a third of them.

The French soldiers, on the other hand, were confident and showed this with their neat steps and high-spirited singing.

Hearing the tune of the "Marseillaise", the remnants of the Ottoman soldiers were terrified, they had already suffered too many defeats under this background music.

Murad Beyi also felt a sense of irritability, that music is a force that can transcend borders and penetrate into people's hearts.

Only Muhammad Ali remained calm, squinting at the enemy, looking for a chance of victory.

Soon, he realized that Menuwa had made a mistake.

The warehouse was located in the eastern part of the manor, the sun was rising behind them, Menois was on the offensive, he should have pulled his troops to the east, and then charged with his back to the sun.

Maybe it's because of carelessness, maybe it's to save the soldier's physical strength, or maybe it's the sum of the two factors.

In short, the French generals did not do this, and attacked directly from west to east.

This is wrong, it is a great disadvantage to charge directly into the sun compared to walking a few hundred steps more, and a wise general would not choose to do so.

But Muhammad Ali did not know that he could take advantage of this mistake.

In the light of the sun, he could clearly see the confident faces of the French soldiers, while the soldiers around him had dry lips and tongues, and the Egyptian soldiers of Murad Bey were even worse, they could not even form a neat line.

It is true that Menoit is not careful, but Mohammed Ali knows that even with the interference of the sun, the French can still push them down in waves.

The general's personal ability is very important, but it may not make up for the disadvantages at the national level, and the morale, tactics, and coordination of officers and soldiers can determine the outcome of the battle.

He looked at the tongue of fire on the tip of the spear, then at Wu Xin, and finally at his bag, and the spell casting materials were quite sufficient.

He is a spellcaster, and almost a single caster, and he only has the "Protection" type of casting material in his bag.

However, he can actually wear medium armor, but for the sake of economy, he would rather use "mage armor" directly.

Because of the saving of the most expensive armor input, his weapons and gloves are all elite-level things in the main plane.

Eventually, however, he shook his head and began to observe the route of the retreat.

He is like this, not to mention others.

Everyone plans to retreat back to the warehouse when the battle situation is unfavorable.

But Muhammad Ali did not plan it that way, he did not plan to stick to the warehouse at all, but was ready to take a detour and go directly to the sea.

He did not give up his ideals, but he no longer intended to save the army, but was ready to escape with his life and then cross the Red Sea and return to Damascus.

"Hehe, sure enough, there are some fish that have slipped through the net, if it weren't for Joel and you reporting it in time, it would really be possible to let these diehards go." Menuwa watched the enemy who ran out of the warehouse, barely forming a large phalanx, confident that he would win, and he made a wish to Joel, "You are a hero, and when you destroy these Mamluks who don't know the height of the sky, I will give you all the property of Murad Bey, and then give you the largest Star and Moon Temple in Cairo!" ”

"All Copts, up and down, will be forever grateful to the people of France!" Regarding the statement that the people thank the people, Joel felt that something was not quite right, but Wu Xin asked him to say so, and he said so. "But when the Theban Mausoleum is opened, please be respectful of the remains of the ancient pharaohs."

"Well, well, I have told General Napoleon that there is a complete ancient pharaonic tomb in Thebes, and he said that only treasures must be taken, and the body must not be desecrated." Within the French, naturally they would not be called Na Dashuai, Menois first promised the benefits, and then said to Joel without doubt. "That spider of yours is very interesting, give it to Marshal Napoleon to study."

By this time, the French army had already walked fifty steps in front of the warehouse.

Menois raised his command sword again and began the final formation. (To be continued......)
