When the French commander saw the resistance army appearing, a light flashed in his eyes.
But they did not attack immediately.
The resistance forces are still far away from them. If their position is exposed now, they will lose the ability to attack first.
The best option is to wait for the resistance forces to approach and then attack quickly.
The resistance army marched very cautiously, but this did not arouse the suspicion of the French commander. Any smart commander knows that there is no harm in being cautious.
Even if they are the vanguard, they will have to thoroughly explore the surrounding environment.
It's best to be careful. After all, no one can guarantee that there will really be no problems at all in these places.
The vanguard may not be able to explore all areas clearly.
The resistance march is slow, but now they are within range!
The French commander narrowed his eyes slightly, stared closely at the resistance troops, and murmured in a low voice: "Wait, wait!"
Now is not the best time to attack.
If they want to defeat the Resistance Army, this attack distance is enough.
But their purpose in this battle is to wipe out the resistance forces in one fell swoop, not simply defeat them.
All their efforts to defeat them and wait for the resistance forces to evacuate into the jungle will be in vain!
At this moment, the French commander suddenly saw the resistance troops, squatting down and setting up their guns, and the place where their guns were pointed was in their direction.
The French commander’s face changed drastically!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The resistance army led by Li He took the lead, and they wanted to cripple the French troops as soon as possible!
Li He adopted a crushing tactic. Five thousand soldiers formed two lines and launched a fierce attack on the ambush of the French army.
Such an attack quickly produced results.
Although it was an ambush, the French army lost the opportunity to attack first.
They have completely lost the opportunity in this battle. Under such circumstances, the French army has no way to achieve corresponding results.
After being attacked by the resistance forces, blood mist suddenly erupted on the grass.
The French army immediately fought back. Although their preparations were sufficient, it had no effect this time.
The resistance army launched a fierce attack after gaining the upper hand.
Their French troops were beaten to the point where they were completely unable to fight back.
The French commander was even more confused. He had no idea what was going on and why the resistance army knew where they were ambushing.
But now is no longer the time to dwell on this. The top priority now is to resolve this battle.
Under such an intensive attack, their troops have suffered heavy casualties. Talking about annihilating the resistance forces is just nonsense.
There are only two options before the French commander.
One is to fight the resistance to the end, but they have already lost the opportunity in this battle. Continuing to fight will cause too many casualties for them. Such a loss is not something he can accept.
The other option is to choose to retreat temporarily, conserve your strength, and continue to wait for opportunities on this grassland.
Fighting a battle of annihilation with the resistance forces.
The French commander almost didn't think twice and naturally chose the latter.
"retreat!"
"retreat!"
The French soldiers in ambush retreated while fighting.
Minimize casualties as much as possible.
Regarding the withdrawal of the French troops, the resistance army did not choose to pursue it.
Li He's purpose in the beginning of the war was to defeat the French troops who blocked them and temporarily get them out of the war.
The grassland area behind the Great Dividing Range is very vast.
