Chapter 1427: Arabian Storm (Ninety-Eight)
Zhang Xiao and the others have joined the battle, and it has been about an hour or so.
During this time, the resistance of the Kopoari people did not stop. After all, withstanding Zhang Xiao's attack is crucial to the victory and defeat of the entire battle.
Therefore, it is not unavoidable that the Kopyali people do not take it seriously now.
Originally, at the beginning, the Kopoyali people did not take Zhang Xiao and them seriously. Thinking that Zhang Xiao was the arrangement and ambush force of the Bukuts, he thought that as long as he used a few troops, he could withstand their attack.
But unexpectedly, the team sent out to defend against Zhang Xiao and them was defeated in an hour's combat effectiveness. At this time, Kopoyali suddenly came to his senses, knew that the troops in the rear were not ordinary troops, and then began to take it seriously.
But the problem is that after an hour of fighting, the Imperial Army has come out with great combat effectiveness. The Kopyali people who had already fought were terrified, so no matter how much they sent troops to fight them, those troops were too afraid to attack the Imperial Army.
The range of the Imperial Army's muskets was extremely long, far beyond the range of the Koparian archers.
They could not be killed, and the soldiers were either killed by muskets or repulsed. It is completely impossible to rush to the phalanx of the Imperial Army and engage in hand-to-hand combat with the Imperial Army.
This situation is very unfavorable for the Kopyali people.
And the worse news is not only that, the already shaky Bukut front has suddenly become stable.
The main forces of the Bukuts, who had already been consumed by the same amount, actually withstood the attack for another hour and stabilized the defensive line.
And the Kopyali troops on the offensive, under the repeated offensive losses, their morale also dropped to the extreme for a while.
This is not good news for the Kopyali people.
At the same time, because of Farier's help. The fighting on the right flank of the Bukuts was over. The corps of about 7,000 men broke away and rushed back, adding strength to the Bukut troops on the side of the central battle group.
Fariyah, with his Bedouin warriors and more than a thousand slave warriors, began to roam the periphery of the battlefield to attack the Koparian forces, causing them great trouble.
The way Fariya and the others rescued the Bukut troops on the right flank was simple, not that she led the army into the warband, but that she led her men and horses to kill the Kopoyali soldiers with muskets on the periphery.
Although the right flank has been fought, both sides are in a scuffle.
But there were still a few Kopoali soldiers who broke away from the warband. And these people happened to be the targets of Farier's attack.
If Farier had been on the right flank, he wouldn't have achieved much. However, her practice of leading troops on the periphery gave the Kopyali vassal tribal troops fighting on the right flank a great sense of depression and a sense of psychological crisis.
And because of this psychological shadow, this greatly affected their performance in battle, and they fell to the bottom in an instant.
Because they had to deal with the Bukut army while also being careful of those enemies who were constantly attacking them on the periphery.
It's really not a good feeling.
And because of the assistance, the Bukut troops on the right flank suddenly cheered up.
For a time, the Kopyali troops who fought with them. There was a failure.
After an hour of fighting, the battle on the right flank's side was over. The Kopyali forces on this side were basically annihilated here.
Such a result arose primarily from the cooperation of Fariyah and the commanders of the right flank of the Bukuts.
But the situation on the right flank. It is not so important for the situation of the whole battle to be turned on.
The main thing now is to see whether the Imperial Army will be able to hold back most of the Kopyali army, and at the same time whether the Bukuts can withstand the last madness of the Kopyali.
If the Bukuts collapse first, then Zhang Xiao will still be able to get what he wants in this battle. But it won't turn out the way he wanted.
Therefore, Zhang Xiao's expectations for the Bukuts are also hoped that they can withstand it.
In fact. The commander of the Bukuts was also not a fool. With your combat effectiveness in the early stage, he has won the full set of the Kopoyali people, and it is his responsibility to guide this erosive situation in the end.
But that was also because he was too arrogant, and if he could be steady, the Kopyali man's strategy would not have succeeded.
Therefore, as soon as the commotion in the rear of the Kopyali appeared, he grasped it in time. Then he gave a death order to let his troops withstand the opponent's attack, because this was the key to turning defeat into victory for him.
In fact, the commander of the Bukuts was also betting again, he was betting that the force that appeared later would be able to completely disrupt the rhythm of the Kobeyali attack as he hoped and give himself more opportunities.
You know, he was desperate to abandon the army and run away, if he did that, although he could survive temporarily, but in the end he could not escape the condemnation and punishment of his conscience and tribe.
The end is just a death.
But now, there was a hope of victory in front of him, how could he be stupid not to grasp it.
It's just that if you want to achieve the final victory, you have to see if the army that appeared in the rear of the Kopyali people can really completely disrupt the other party.
As long as the rear of the Kopoari is unstable, then the main force of the Kopyali who are violently attacking them in front will definitely be relieved.
At that point, it will no longer be a fantasy to defeat the Kopyali from both sides.
In fact, the situation is now beginning to progress as he hoped.
The troops on the right flank, having broken away from the scuffle and having dealt with the Koparian forces on the right flank, rushed back to help.
Although their strength was not large, only 7,000 men.
But the return of these 7,000 people can also greatly alleviate some of the current shapes, so that their own side can increase their chances of victory.
At the same time, there was another army of unknown origin, which was constantly roaming around the periphery to attack the Kopyali troops on the right flank, causing them great pressure and losses, and the pressure on the right flank troops was greatly relieved at once.
Faced with such a situation, the Kopyali had to begin to make the left flank shrink its defenses. It's no longer an offensive posture.
This made the defense of the Bukuts suddenly become a little more stable.
Although the battle between the center and the Bukuts on the left flank was still so fierce, judging from the fact that the situation on their right flank had eased, the balance of victory had begun to tilt.
What's more, the troubles of the Kopyali don't stop there. Their rear was becoming more and more unstable, and the army from nowhere did not stop advancing at all, and the troops sent by the Kopoari to stop them were constantly routed by them.
Little by little, the troops in the rear of the Kopyali. It's almost time to advance to the center of the warband.
As long as they advance to the battlefield here, then the good situation that the Kopyali people have will be completely broken.
At that time, it was time for the Bukuts to strike back.
In the face of such a situation, the people of Kopoyali are of course also very headache and anxious.
However, they no longer had any extra troops to send out to stop the advance of that terrible force.
Several units were sent one after another, but in the end they were all a failure.
Many of the troops have been crippled, and their courage is gone.
And their own workhorse. is still fighting and entangled with the Bukuts, and there is no way to withdraw at all.
The rest of the team was useless.
How good is that!
Now this problem is really a headache for the commander of the Kopyali people.
How could a good situation become like this?
The commander of the Kopyali was puzzled. No matter how much he thinks, he can't figure it out.
And an hour passed, and he also understood that the troops that appeared in the rear were not ambushed by the Bukuts, but a force that did not know which tribe it was.
Oh, my God!
Fighting the Bukuts yourself, you say you guy who doesn't know where you came from. Let's join in the fun.
The commander of the Kopoyali people complained with hatred in his heart.
"General, the troops behind us. I can't stand it anymore. The enemy's fighting style is very strange, and the weapons are very sharp, all the troops have withdrawn, and they have no courage to charge. ”
Worse news came, which made the Kopyali commander, who was already in a bad mood, feel even worse after listening to the words.
"Continue to order them to attack, no matter how many people die, let them find a way to hold back the enemy behind." The commander of the Kopyali had an ugly face, and now he no longer had the same indifference as before.
It can be seen that the current situation, which is getting worse and worse, has made him lose his bearings.
"Generals, chiefs of those tribes, refuse to go to war."
In a short time, the officer in charge of the herald rode back on a camel. As soon as he returned, he came back with a not-so-good piece of news, which made the commander's mood even worse.
"Dekaia!"
He shouted loudly, and then a man on a camel came out of his side.
"General!"
"You and my guards go and take a look, and if the tribal leaders don't take my orders, you'll get rid of them. Then it's up to you to take over their tribe and command the battle, no matter what, to withstand the enemies behind you. ”
The order was given with a pale face, and the commander's face was already pale.
He never thought that there would be a tribal leader who would start to disobey orders at this time.
This is a very bad signal, so he must come up with iron-blooded means to suppress this attitude, otherwise this attitude will spread, but it will lead to a very bad result.
"Yes General!"
The man named Dekaia took the order to turn the camel around and left with hundreds of elite commanders' convoys.
It can be seen that the commander's attitude towards this matter is very strict and serious.
Otherwise, he would not have sent his personal guards and escorts.
It's just that he doesn't understand one thing, that is, when Zhang Xiao and the Imperial Army participate in this battle, the direction is already uncontrollable...... (To be continued......)
