The Kopuyali people had never seen anything like grenades.
Although hand grenades are not too high-tech gadgets, they are still weapons that transcend the era, and cannot be something that century-old thugs like the Kopuyali people know about.
Furthermore, after the Imperial Army used the grenade, the violent explosion and its huge power shocked the Kopuyali people.
Subsequently, the Kopuyali people's offensive slowed down, and the teams that had rushed to a distance of fifty yards became sparse.
After a burst of gunfire, the enemies within fifty yards suddenly fell down in rows. It can be said that the Imperial Army has relieved the gradually increasing pressure.
Several rounds of volleys, plus three rounds of grenades, caused thousands of soldiers on the Kopuyali side to fall.
Although the Kopuyali people still have more than 20,000 troops, the losses of these thousands of people are also very huge.
" Moreover, after losing thousands of troops, their charge against the Imperial Army has not achieved much effect, which makes people feel a little sad.
At the very least, if you lose a huge force, you should also let the enemy suffer some losses.
No!
Although the Kopuyali people suffered a lot of losses, the Imperial Army they faced did not even have a scratch on their skin.
Until now, the Kopuyali people have no way to deal with the Imperial Army, which makes them very suffocated and depressed.
But the Imperial Army¡¯s weapons are sharp and their fighting style is also very weird.
They have never encountered this before, so there is no solution for the time being.
The commander of the Kopuyali people, all he can think of now is to order his troops to continuously ¡®charge! charge! ¡¯ That¡¯s all, there are no effective ways to deal with the Imperial Army.
It is a pity that the commander of the Kopuyali people has not yet reacted to the disadvantage. He ordered the troops to continue charging, which is actually the same as committing suicide.
Especially when the troops use a very intensive charge, it is like lining up to go to hell.
You must know that queuing to kill is the most effective method of killing people in dense queues. Any smart person would let the troops disperse and not charge in such a dense formation.
However, it should also be understood that skirmishers would not be taken seriously until the early twentieth century, that is, after World War I.
In other words, until the time of World War I, the charge tactic of dense formations was still used by various countries.
So, it is simply impossible for a high-level Arab general who lives in the century to suddenly think of a military concept that was only developed more than a hundred years ago.
Unless, he is also a person who wears it.
Therefore, the Kopuyali troops who continued to charge launched desperate attacks again and again.
The Imperial Army treated these Kopuyali people as living targets and shot them with ease.
??If you are far away, you will be waiting with guns. If you are closer, you will be threatened and throw grenades.
Although these two methods are nothing, they are absolutely effective in dealing with the intensive charge of the Kopuyali people.
Therefore, in front of a distance of 200 to 100 yards from the Imperial Army, there were scattered the bodies of killed Kopuyali soldiers, as well as those who were not dead but were seriously injured.
The distance between one hundred and fifty yards is filled with sand pits blown up by grenade explosions, making them look pitted.
At the same time, these sand traps also caused a lot of operational troubles for the attacking Kopuyali army.
No one could have imagined that attacking with such a superior force would not be able to shake the opponent. Such an enemy was simply unheard of.
"General! We can't charge any further. This is simply letting the soldiers die!"
Although the commander of the Kopuyali people still wanted to continue, the officers around him really couldn't stand it anymore. After another charge to no avail, an officer stood up and shouted to him.
This officer¡¯s words aroused the echo of many people.
For a time, more than 70% of the officers surrounding the commander began to say that they should not continue to launch this senseless charge.
This made the Kopuyali commander feel very frustrated, but at the same time he was also greatly relieved.
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?Now, in fact, he doesn't want to continue.
He is not an idiot. He has reached this point and knows that there is really nothing he can do about an army like the Imperial Army.
However, he didn¡¯t know what to do, so he kept ordering troops to charge.
In fact, this was just a moment of confusion on his part, but the price was a lot of losses for the troops.
"Stop it, our enemy is so powerful that we can't imagine. Now we have no other way, I declare that we have lost the long battle."
Although he was reluctant, the commander of the Kopuyali people still said it.
Yes, there is nothing more to say when the war has reached this point. The Imperial Army is still watching here. The Bukut people on the other side were pressing forward as if they had been given a shot of blood.
Large numbers of deserters have begun to appear in our own troops. Coupled with the previous rounds of charges against the Imperial Army, the number of the army has been reduced to more than 10,000.
It can be said that in a short period of time, the remaining troops of the Kopuyali people lost half of their numbers.
Therefore, the situation has been irrevocably reversed, and they have fallen into an extremely passive and harsh situation.
In this situation where there is a wolf in front and a tiger behind, the Kopuyali people have no extra choice.
Therefore, it is most correct to admit failure generously.
Hearing what his general, the commander of the Kopuyali people said in this battle, said this, the surrounding Kopuyali officers felt that it was right.
Yes, there is nothing wrong with what you said.
They have indeed lost this battle, and even the war.
In this battle, they lost the entire army of the Kopuyali people, and even the troops of the vassal tribes were buried in this sand dune.
It can be said that after this battle, the Kopuyali people have completely withdrawn from the fight for Cuman hegemony.
So, what will they face next?
Become a vassal of the Bukut people?
Or will it be annexed by the Bukut people?
But no matter what, they can no longer go back to the life they had in the past.
well!
But no matter what, now that the victory or defeat has been decided, they can make themselves safer by making a wise choice to admit that they have lost the battle, and even the war.
Today, too many people have died.
Although Kopuyali is a large tribe with a large population.
"However, losing tens of thousands of young and strong men at once was a big blow to them.
Not to mention the troops lost by the vassal tribes who came here to fight with them today.
Therefore, even if they do not choose to admit defeat, it will be impossible for the Kopuyali people to form a decent military force within at least ten years.
"Surrender, we have no hope. Although I am not very willing to make this choice, if even us people die here, then the tribe really has no hope. Although it is a bit embarrassing for me to ask you to surrender. It¡¯s hard for people to accept, but at least it can keep those of us in stock. Because judging from the current situation, it is useless for us to continue to fight.¡±
The words of the commander of the Kopuyali people sounded sad and helpless, but this was a living reality that the Kopuyali officers around him could not help but deny.
"Raise the white flag, let's surrender. If the battle continues, it will just cause more unnecessary casualties. Let's leave some seeds for the tribe."
The words of the commander of the Kopuyali people were very sad and helpless, but they were very realistic.
"General, we have no objection to your decision, but to whom shall we surrender?"
Yes, although they want to surrender, the question is to whom.
They have to think about this problem carefully. After all, there are Bukut people on one side and a strange army on the other.
He didn¡¯t think for too long. After all, time did not allow the Kopuyali commander to have enough time to think, so he made a decision within a few dozen seconds.
"Surrender to the Bukut people. After all, we still know a little about them. The Bukut people will not be too harsh on the defeated tribes, even if they become their slaves. But for this strange army The force we are in, we are not thatSo clear. "
¡°It¡¯s understandable that he made such a choice.
After all, Zhang Xiao and the Song Empire are not known to the Kopuyali people.
God knows if you surrender to them, you will be tortured in the future.
There¡¯s nothing too particular about winners versus losers, right?
But the Bukut people are different. The commander of the Kopuyali people understands the Bukut people very well. He also knows the habits of the Bukut people very well.
Especially the Bukut people are proud of their character, but at the same time they will not torture the defeated tribes and slaves too much.
Therefore, judging from the current situation, surrendering to the Bukut people is the best option.
Of course, considering that this battle caused a lot of losses to the Bukut people, the Bukut people may not be so friendly to them.
However, precisely because the Bukut people also suffered heavy losses, the surrender of their more than 10,000 troops will be more easily accepted, right?
Stop fighting!
We are defeated, prepare to surrender!
The ceasefire order was passed on, and the Kopuyali troops finally shrank together, with a relaxed and confused look on the soldiers' faces.
But no matter what, the battle is over and there is a result.
This is a good thing for the soldiers at the bottom.
"At least, they don't have to work hard anymore, right?"
"The Kopuyali people are raising the white flag, but their meaning is a bit strange. They seem to be surrendering to the Bukut people."
In the imperial army square formation, Zhang Xiao's adjutant observed the situation on the Kopuyali side with a monocular. When he saw a cavalry holding a white flag running towards the Bukut people, he couldn't help but frowned. r1152
