Chapter 1435: Arabian Storm (Verse 106)
Don't run! Give me all back! Come back!
When deserters appeared in the charging ranks, the officers behind knew at a glance that the situation was not good. He immediately shouted loudly, and at the same time ordered his own soldiers to start stopping the deserters.
It's a pity that since those deserters have already made their choice, how can they give up just because he shouts two voices. And there are not many personal soldiers of this officer, that is, only a dozen people.
It was impossible for them to stop hundreds of people and flee to the soldiers on both sides.
At most, they can catch a few unlucky guys, and any more is unrealistic.
And, with the appearance of these hundreds of deserters, they had a very bad influence on the Kopoyali forces.
In fact, many soldiers have thoughts about this kind of thing, but they don't dare to do it.
But now that someone has taken the lead in doing it, then the soldiers who originally had this kind of thinking will definitely be encouraged to a greater or lesser extent.
It's over!
When the commander of the Kopyali saw that there were deserters in his troops, he immediately lamented in his heart.
He knew very well that the bad effects of these deserters were not just a little bit.
They bring with them the worst of the effects that can completely collapse their own forces.
"Charge the whole army!"
It was too late to think about it, he shook the reins in his hand at that time, urged the war horse under his crotch to rush out, and at the same time ordered the whole army to charge.
Yes, there is no way to make this decision.
After all, deserters have already appeared, and the troops have been greatly affected.
Fortunately, the influence has not yet spread, and it has not shaken the entire army much.
But it is impossible to stop it, so what I have to do now is to order the whole army to launch a final charge against the enemy while this influence has not yet been completely subverted, and perhaps there may be some hope.
If you drag it out any longer, then it's all over.
Thus. In fact, the commander of the Kopyali side is not exactly an idiot rubbish.
At the very least, he was still a little judgmental.
In fact, in this battle, if there were no external reasons, the victory would have belonged to the Kopyali people.
The Bukuts were already being hunted down by the Kopyali army.
And the reason why it has become like this now is because of unpredictable external forces, because Zhang Xiao joined the battle with the Imperial Army, and the victory that originally belonged to the Kopoyali people was reduced to nothingness and nothingness.
Therefore, the Kopyali people are really wronged.
But there's no denying it. Even if they won the battle, defeated the Bukuts and annexed their tribes and vassal tribes.
But in the days to come, they will still have to face the military power of the Empire.
After all, it was impossible for the empire to give up the right to rule the Cuman region, as well as its legitimate rights and interests.
And the future of the Kopoyali people will certainly not be so bright.
Although the military power of the empire on the Arabian side was insufficient, the Song Empire was a strange country, a country that was open-ended.
It is simply not possible to look at and judge with normal eyes.
God knows if Zhang Xiao and the Imperial Army led by him were frustrated here, whether the Imperial side would be in a certain period of time. Tilt the Empire's military power and center of gravity over for a short time.
If the empire were to do this, not to mention the Cumans, the entire Arab world would suffer.
After all, the center of gravity of the empire is not here now. Instead, it has been placed in Australia and Southeast Asia and the East.
Moreover, the Empire's development of the west coast of the Americas also involved some energy.
Now there is no such thing as a spiritual head to take care of the affairs of the Arab side.
Otherwise, there won't be much on the Empire's side. Send 100,000 troops to land in the Persian Gulf by boat, and you can definitely conquer this area.
This is completely no problem.
It's just that now the empire doesn't have a lot of troops, and eighty percent of the Americas have not yet been developed. It also needs to be built in various parts of the resettlement area sent by the imperial side.
At the same time, because of the discovery of Australia, as well as Southeast Asia.
Therefore, the empire has tilted its limited military strength to this side.
Compared to the interests of the Arab region, it is certainly greater now than Australia and Southeast Asia.
Especially when Zhao Hongyu, who is the ruler of the empire and claims to be the crown prince and the successor of the empire, is in the east, so the empire is more concerned about the other party's affairs.
But one thing is for sure, if the empire's strategy changes and focuses on the Arab region...... Then there is no power in Arabia here that can compete with the Empire.
It's just that the interests here in the Arab region are not so important to the empire now.
Therefore, it is impossible for the various forces in this region to realize the strength of the empire.
But what is certain is that in the near future, after the empire has stabilized some things. Well, for the Arab region, the unleashing of power will definitely begin.
After all, there were abundant oil resources here, and the development of the empire was unmatched by any country of this era. Now that we have begun to enter the era of steampunk, it will not be long before the development of industrialization will begin.
Therefore, when the time comes, the oil of the Arab region will definitely be the most needed thing for the empire.
Of course, although the American continent is also rich in oil resources, it is also geographically advantageous compared to the Arab region.
When Zhao Hongyu founded the country, he set a national policy.
That is, the resources must be plundered from the outside of the Americas, and the resources of the Americas should be kept for future generations to develop and use.
In this way, when the resources of the outside world are exhausted, the resources here in the Americas will be precious.
So, once the empire entered the period of industrialization, there was no doubt that it would definitely send military forces into the Arab region.
As for Zhang Xiao's entry into the Cuman area, although the military headquarters of the American mainland has just received the news back, the military department has a very positive attitude towards the approach of Ma Bangde, the governor of the Cairo concession.
Although the local country could not give any substantial help, if Ma Bond could occupy Cumanist. Then let him arrange it himself.
Besides, the Cuman region is a good place, and in the future it will be the Kuwaiti region, which accounts for a high percentage of the world's oil production.
It's just that the empire doesn't have so many troops and forces now, otherwise it would definitely send more troops to assist.
The Kopyali do not know about this, the Bukuts do not know, and the Tatanirs do not know.
Do they think that when the Ottomans withdrew from the Cuman region, they would be able to jump up and down to peep into the hegemony of the Cuman region?
It's just a joke.
Don't say that the empire had legitimate ruling power over the Cumans, even if it didn't have legitimate rights. Once the empire really wants it, it will have no power to resist with the three major tribes.
And although the Ottomans said that they disgusted the empire and provoked the three major tribes to break out into war, the Ottomans themselves began to be troubled, didn't they?
With the covert support of Ma Bond, the Ottomans rebelled in the north, destroying much of the economy in the north and not recovering for a short time.
Moreover, the rebels in the north, with the covert help of Marbond, got out of the danger and even occupied the Principality of Hungary.
This gives the northern Ottoman region a shape shì. It's even more unstable.
So, after the Ottomans provoked a dispute in Cuman, they themselves did not benefit much.
After Ma Bond knew that the Ottomans had yin against him, he immediately returned his hand and also yin the Ottomans. And the yin is bigger and more powerful.
It is impossible to know this about the Bukuts, Kopyali and Tatanirs in the Cuman Desert.
Now, the Kopoyali have launched a desperate assault. In order to use this to recoup the disadvantage.
It's a pity that Zhang Xiao can't give them such a chance, and at the same time, the Bukuts won't give them a chance.
"Keep reloading! Bombardier ready! ”
Because the whole army of Kopyali launched a charge. So Zhang Xiao didn't take it seriously.
He put away his relaxed face and hurriedly issued a series of orders.
"This is the last attack of the enemy, and as long as we crush their charge, then the victory in this war will be ours."
The officers at the grassroots level kept shouting loudly to the soldiers of their respective squads.
Hundreds of grenadiers with large backpacks appeared, and they came to the back of the first row of queues, holding the copycat grenades in their backpacks.
In order to prevent the enemy from breaking through to the front and causing any damage to his own side, there is such a class as a grenadier in the imperial army.
They were specially set up to slow down the enemy's offensive by throwing grenades at the enemy after the enemy had entered a distance of sixty yards.
After all, the Imperial Army's muskets are powerful, but in the face of a large number of enemies, it is impossible to wipe out all the stormtroopers.
Therefore, there will still be a part of the enemy who will rush to the distance that can threaten the soldiers of the Imperial Army.
In order to prevent this situation and provide greater security for the soldiers of the Imperial Army, the Grenadiers appeared.
"Ready! Triple Pitch! ”
With the order of the officer of the bombardment unit, the bombardier began to throw the copycat grenade in his hand, and then quickly took out another one...... This reciprocating cycle is thrown three times in a short period of time.
Originally, the commander of the Kopyali had already begun to smile when he saw that the troops had begun to approach the Imperial Army phalanx.
However, immediately after that, his smile froze.
Boom Boom!
A series of explosions rang out, followed by the yellow sand produced by the explosions, and the blank spaces of the attacking troops were bombed.
What's going on!
The commander of the Kopyali had a look of surprise on his face now...... (To be continued......)
