contents We report data analysis results about the outburst evolution and spectral properties during the hard state of the recently discovered X-ray transient Swift J1727.8-163 as observed by \emph{Insight}-HXMT and NuSTAR. We find that the broadband X-ray spectrum of Swift J1727.8-163 is more complex than the most typical spectral patterns of black hole X-ray binary systems, with not only a comparatively weaker reflection component but also an additional spectral continuum component, manifesting itself as a hard X-ray tail beyond the thermal Comptonization description detectable below 100 keV. This additional component can be phenomenologically well fitted by adding an extra power-law model with high energy exponential cutoff in the 2-120 keV energy band. We made an attempt to explain the broadband X-ray spectral continuum with a thermal/non-thermal hybrid plasma corona scenario , and find an ultra high compactness parameter ($l_{\rm s}\sim2000$) and a steep non-thermal electron distribution ($Γ_{\rm inj}>4$), suggesting the source was accreting with high Eddington rates and that the electron acceleration mechanism is not very efficient. We also present a detailed multi-epoch analysis of spectral properties using \emph{Insight}-HXMT data to investigate the evolution of the key physical properties regarding the disk and corona during the hard states. No significant variation is found with the inner disk radius and the coronal temperature during this time period, and the weak reflection and hard X-ray tail features are persistent. We discuss the physical implications of our spectral analysis results in the context of disk-corona relation, particle acceleration, and jet contribution, during the rise of a black hole X-ray binary in outburst.
