Chapter 1422: Arabian Storm (Ninety-Three)
The attacks of the Kopyali are overwhelming.
Such an offensive made it impossible for the Bukuts, who were already at the end of their crossbows, to resist. So, after about an hour of fighting, the Bukuts began to lose.
While this is just the beginning, the signs are not so obvious.
But once this 'going to fail' sentiment spreads, it can have a great impact on other people.
For the war in the era of cold weapons, even if you are a genius military strategist, there is no way to deal with such a situation.
The battlefield where hundreds of thousands of people are fighting is very open and vast. Since this battle decided the future of both sides, one by one the generals also participated in it with their cronies.
As a result, after the emotional instability on the battlefield, the commanders were unable to detect and respond in time.
Of course, the same was true on the side of the Kopari, whose generals also fought into the fray.
It's just that now the Kopyali side has a great advantage.
The Bukuts, on the other hand, are at a disadvantage.
"Kill! The Bukuts can't hold it anymore, and today we're going to defeat the Bukuts here and let everyone know who the real king is in the Cuman Lands! ”
Yo Hehe!
The defeat of the Bukuts was eventually discovered by some of the generals on the Kopyali side. Therefore, the generals of the Kopyali were very excited and began to cheer for their own warriors.
Hearing these words from their own generals, the morale of the soldiers on the Kopoyali side was really high, and for a time the Bukuts were defeated by them.
It can be said that now the defeat of the Bukuts is inevitable.
The Bukuts also lack the strength and ability to save this situation, so what they can do now is to find a way to withdraw and try to preserve their military strength as much as possible.
It's just that the current situation. It's hard for them to do that.
The battlefield was full of dust and smoke, and the soldiers on both sides were already killed in hand-to-hand combat. Orders given by commanders on both sides have become difficult to give or execute.
"General, the Kopyali attack is fierce, and the people in front of us can no longer support it. What should we do now, please come up with an idea as soon as possible. “
The commander of the Bukuts, who was fighting with the enemy on the edge of the border battle circle with his own escort, was reported by his subordinates at this time. A group of cronies beside him were looking at him with a panicked expression.
Yes, it's time for him to come up with an idea.
The battle has reached this point, and the situation is irretrievable.
Now it's up to him whether he wants to die here or live.
"It's too messy, it's too messy on the battlefield right now. If I were to give the order to retreat, I don't know how many troops would be able to withdraw, and if we did, the Kopyali army would follow after us, and not many would have escaped. “
The commander's face was very ugly. He is also very embarrassed now.
You said to keep fighting, but the situation has already eroded like this, and it is obvious that there is no chance.
But if they don't continue to fight, their results are not very good.
The Kopyali people will never let go of this opportunity. I will definitely bite them to the death and chase them to the end.
Therefore, he is very embarrassed now, and he can't hold his mind for a while.
"General. Now you have to make a decision. Time is running out for us, and if we drag it out a little longer, none of us will be able to leave. “
A cronie looked anxious. Seeing that his general was still a little unable to hold his mind, he opened his mouth to urge.
To say that they are not cowardly people, but now that the battle is like this, it is obvious that if they continue, it will be a death.
And knowing that it is a dead end, and continuing like this, ordinary people will not choose.
That's why this cronie said so.
The general also understands the thoughts of this cronie.
Who doesn't care about their own lives?
You can't ask them to be like that, all of them are like that, and you want them to be dead in the face of a crisis.
That's simply not possible.
"The troops are in disarray, and we can't control them. Now we can control these troops around us, and as for those forces that have fallen into the center of the battlefield, we can only abandon them. “
A cronie suggested at this time.
It's a shameful practice, and if they do, their reputation will be ruined.
When the time comes, even if they escape, the tribes of the Bukuts will be separated from them.
But if they don't, none of them will be able to escape.
Alas!
The choice in front of you is really difficult.
The look of hesitation on the commander's face was still so intense, it could be seen that he had not made up his mind until now.
Seeing him like this, the cronies around him were very anxious.
After all, a little more time drags on, and the more dangerous they are.
They were on higher ground, so they could faintly see some of the battle in the distance.
The Bukut forces and the battle line were now retreating under the attack of the Kopyali, and it was obvious that they could no longer support it.
Moreover, some soldiers in the rear began to flee sporadically. Although there are still a few soldiers who have fled, everyone understands what kind of impact and consequences they will have on the entire army.
Now it's just a few, and it doesn't seem like much.
However, it will not be long before an even bigger rout occurs.
And at that time, the whole army will collapse, and then the fighting forces will be completely scattered.
And the Kopoyali will hunt down and kill them like scattered sheep.
"General, get out of here. Anything later, it's too late. “
Someone saw that the two wings began to collapse on a large scale, and the soldiers on that side could no longer support it and began to retreat in large numbers, that is, to flee.
This is a very bad sign.
With the collapse of the wings, this situation will have a ripple effect like an avalanche. This in turn affects other troops.
The two flanks here do not refer to the two flanks of the Bukuts on the entire battlefield, but to the two flanks of the central front that are fighting against the Kopyali.
At this time, the troops on the left flank had merged with the central forces.
Only on the right flank, still trembling with the vassal tribal forces of the Kopyali, there is no way to separate themselves to reinforce their side.
That is, on the battlefield as a whole, the battle was divided into two parts.
The larger battle group is the central front of the main battle between the two sides. The largest number of soldiers gathered here, and the fighting was the most fierce and brutal.
On the left flank, the warbands were much smaller, and the battle was slightly better.
However, as the situation on this side of the main battlefield deteriorates, the collapse of the right wing is only a matter of time.
If the right wing could kill their opponents and reinforce their own side, the situation would be slightly different, and it would not be so corrupted.
But the problem is that this is all wishful thinking on the part of the commander. In fact, this is not the case at all.
The commanders on the right flank wanted to deal with their opponents and then come over and send reinforcements.
However, their enemies were entangled in them to the death, and even if they fought hard, they showed no signs of retreating.
Therefore. The troops on the right flank were not able to give them any reinforcements at all.
And here in the central war group, the situation of the Bukuts has begun to collapse, which already tells everyone that the situation is irretrievable.
Staring at the battlefield. The commander of the Bukut side, and the highest general of the Bukut in this war, finally made up his mind.
That is the retreat. Withdraw from this already hopeless battle.
Of course, he also knew very well that after he made this decision. What kind of impact will it have, and how much damage will be suffered by the Bukuts.
At the same time, those troops that belonged to vassal tribes that he abandoned would leave the Bukuts in the future.
However, there is no way around it, isn't it?
After all, it is the most important thing to save their own lives now, and as for the lives of others, it is not something they can think about.
The idea of sacrificing oneself for others is something that these people don't have.
Of course, even in modern society, only a small number of people will have such ideas.
Thus, let alone the Arabs in the Cuman Desert at the beginning of the century.
Now that the decision has been made, the rest is easy.
The surrounding cronies should be informed, after all, they are on the periphery of the battlefield, not in the center of the fiercest part.
Therefore, these troops can quickly break away and start retreating.
At the same time, when retreating, it is impossible to be the only ones. If you don't bring a few teams, once you are chased and killed by the Kopoyaries, there will be no cannon fodder to use.
From this point, it can also be seen that the reason why they brought a few cronies to leave the battlefield together, and these generals did not have any good ideas.
For the sake of it, it is just that when there is danger, someone can come to the palace to be cannon fodder.
However, at this time, just when they were already desperate about the battle situation and were about to start abandoning their troops and withdrawing, an accident appeared.
And it was none other than Zhang Xiao, who had been waiting for an opportunity for a long time, as well as the Imperial Army under his command and the Bedouin troops of Fariyah, as well as the slave warriors who had been brought back during this time.
With their joining, it can be said that the originally desperate battle situation has completely turned around.
"General, what do you think is going on behind the Kopyali? It seems that their rear is in chaos, what the hell is going on? “
One of the cronies standing beside the general Bukut suddenly raised his hand and pointed in the direction of the rear of the Kopyali army in the distance, and shouted with a surprised expression...... (To be continued......)
