Yang Yuanqing's 45,000 Fengzhou Army and 100,000 Turkic Army have been in confrontation for three days. If it were the situation where the Sui army had the advantage in equipment in the past, Yang Yuanqing would take the initiative to attack and look for fighter opportunities, but now it is different. The equipment of the Turkic Army is close to that of the Sui army, and the opponent's troops are twice as strong as that of him. If it is a head-on battle, even if the Fengzhou Army is undefeated, it will suffer heavy casualties, which goes against his original intention.

More importantly, Yang Yuanqing wanted to hold back the Turkic army, relieve the pressure on Yanmen County, wait for reinforcements to arrive, or Su Lie cut off the Turkic army's logistics and food route. At that time, the Turkic army would inevitably be in chaos and be forced to retreat northward. That was the arrival of the fighter.

Surrounded by hundreds of personal guards, Yang Yuanqing rode a horse on Qiugang, staring at the Turkic camp several miles away. The camp of the 100,000 troops was huge and spread like a carpet on the vast field.

From the neat camping of the opponent, we can see that the opponent's chief general is an experienced general, who is steadily and wants to win with superior forces without taking shortcuts.

Yang Yuanqing was even more cautious about such a master. At this time, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He took out a letter and handed it to a personal soldier, "Shoot this letter into the enemy's camp!"

The personal soldiers took the order to run towards the Turkic camp. His horse was fast and rushed straight to the camp gate. At this time, a team of more than 100 Turkic cavalrymen came out. The personal soldiers opened their bows and shot the arrow with the letters at the other side. He turned his horse's head and ran towards the hill. The Turkic cavalry team did not chase after him. Some soldiers picked up the letter and ran into the camp.

Yang Yuanqing saw it clearly. He smiled and said to the left and right: "Go back to the camp!"

Hundreds of people turned their horses and headed towards the camp.

...........

The Turkic general was the Zuo Kha General Asankunji, who was also a Turkic royal family. He was about 37 or 38 years old this year. He was the younger brother of Qimin Khan and the uncle of Shibi Khan. He was also an extremely important figure in the Turkic. He was named Tel by Shibi Khan.

Asuna Kunji was more cautious. He knew that Yang Yuanqing was shocking the grassland, and Turkic soldiers were generally afraid of him and their morale would not rise. More importantly, Yang Yuanqing knew the Turkic army very well and could grasp the weaknesses of the Turkic army, which made Asuna Kunji more cautious and dared not launch an attack easily. He was also waiting for Yang Yuanqing's active attack.

At this time, a soldier rushed into the tent and held a letter in his hand: "Ter, the Sui army has sent a letter."

Asuna Kunji hurriedly took the letter. The envelope read in Turkic text: "Yang Yuanqing, the general of Fengzhou of Sui, came to the general of the Turkic Republic." This was Yang Yuanqing's handwritten letter.

Asuna Kunji quickly opened the letter, which was actually a letter of war, inviting both sides to fight against each other. The time was free, and this was the traditional way of fighting for the Turks. The two sides agreed on the number of people and the location and time, and no support was allowed regardless of the victory or defeat. However, this was only the first time that the Turks fought against the Sui Dynasty.

Asunji sneered and shouted sternly: "Where is Hu Tai?"

A Turkic chief was in response, "I am in a humble position!"

"The Sui army came to make an appointment. You can lead 10,000 troops from our headquarters to fight, defeat the Sui army and severely destroy the morale of the enemy."

"Abide by the orders!"

The ten thousand men's commander Hutai ran out of the tent. Soon, a group of 10,000 Turkic cavalry rushed out of the tent and ran towards the vast wilderness. Asuna Kunji led dozens of generals to watch the battle at the gate.

Amid the intense sound of war drums, teams of Sui troops rushed out, which was also an army of ten thousand people, five thousand cavalry, three thousand heavy armored infantry, and two thousand crossbowmen.

The three generals commanded this battle. General Pei Xingyan was the commander of the 5,000 cavalry, General Yang Sien was the 3,000 heavy armored Mo Dao Army, and General Ma Shao led two thousand crossbowmen to suppress the situation.

The purpose of Yang Yuanqing's battle is to test the combat effectiveness of the Modao Army through actual combat and allow the Modao Army to work in actual combat. This battle is of great significance.

Like the Turkic commander, Yang Yuanqing climbed the viewing tower and watched the two armies fight. His eyes were grim and he watched the changes in each formation of the Modao Army.

The Modao Army formed a circular formation, with a row of thousands of people in total, three rows, with cavalry protection on both sides, and the weaknesses of the Modao Army on the side. The three thousand Modao Army used the blade slap, which was slightly shorter than the later Modao, and also seemed bulky, but the power was almost the same.

The Sanqian Modao Army followed the cavalry slowly, about two miles away from the Turkic army. Pei Xingyan waved his hand, the Sui cavalry stopped, and the troops behind him also stopped.

This is a different way of array formation. The general Sui army's array was arranged with crossbowmen in front, cavalry behind, and infantry at the end. However, this time, cavalry in front, heavy infantry in the middle, and crossbows in the back to press the array. This array formation method surprised the Turkish generals.

Asuna Kunji stared at the Sui army's formation from afar, and his heart was suspicious and his brows frowned. At this time, he had already seen the heavy armored infantry hidden behind the Sui army's cavalry. His heart was full of ** who knew the answer.

"Order the attack!"

With the order of Asuna Kunji, the drums of attack in the Turkic barracks were loudly heard. The drums of attacks soared into the sky. Ten thousand Turkic cavalry shouted and launched an offensive. Ten thousand cavalry became faster and faster, holding up their swords and spears, sprinting towards the Sui army as fast as a storm. This time, neither side used bows and arrows, and was a head-on battle.

Pei Xingyan gave the order and waved the battle flag. Five thousand cavalry separated to both sides, revealing the three thousand heavy armored Modao infantry behind. Three thousand heavy armored soldiers shoulder to shoulder, as steady as a mountain. Three thousand swords were brushed up and three thousand eyes were coldly staring at the ten thousand cavalry coming from the sky.

Yang Yuanqing stood on the wooden platform, and there was a hint of unconcealed tension in his eyes. Using the Modao Army to deal with the Turkic cavalry was completely his idea, but he did not consider many practical details. Although after more than a year of intensive training, all the loopholes he wanted were completed, whether he could withstand the impact of the Turkic cavalry had to be tested by actual combat.

Yang Yuanqing was already sweating, and he watched the impact of the Turkic cavalry nervously.

On the battlefield, the Turkic cavalry were getting closer and closer, and they were furious and would use the galloping power of thousands of horses to break through the human wall ahead, a hundred steps, seventy steps, fifty steps, forty steps, and thirty steps...

Yang Sien stared at the Turkic cavalry rushing towards him, and he yelled, "Get ready!"

His Modao raised his sword and slashed away towards the first war horse. In an instant, the war horse rushed towards him, and the sword light flashed, blood burst out, and a group of people flipped over, and the war horse neighed miserably, or the horse's legs were broken or the head was chopped off, and the Modao army suddenly piled up in front of the Modao army.

But there was also a hole that was broken open. More than 20 heavy armored soldiers on the west were unable to withstand the impact. They were knocked open by war horses. The second row was also hit. The heavy armored soldiers in the third row fought. The formation of more than 300 people on the west became a little chaotic. The Sui cavalry next to them quickly rushed to fight. The Modao Army on the west quickly formed a team and gradually resumed its formation.

This result made Yang Yuanqing not expect that the human wall lined up by the heavy armored Mo Dao Army would resist the thunderous impact. As long as it could withstand the first wave of impact, the impact power behind would be greatly weakened.

Although waves of Turkic cavalry attacked like storms, the three thousand armored Modao soldiers were like reefs by the sea, allowing the enemy cavalry to attack, but they stood tall. The initial panic had disappeared, the Modao formation became more and more stable, and began to launch an active attack. The three thousand Modao soldiers advanced step by step. Every step forward, hundreds of Turkic cavalry strangled under the knife.

Ashina Kunji's heart was getting colder and colder. He understood that this was the heavy armored infantry of the Sui army. Using a long sword, this was not a new weapon. For hundreds of years, the Central Plains army had always had horse-killing sabers, heavy armored infantry, and gun formations to deal with cavalry. But today, the Sui army in Fengzhou was a combination of horse-killing sabers, heavy armored infantry and gun formations, forming a powerful weapon, heavy armored long sword formation, which was simply a nightmare for cavalry.

"Send the order to withdraw the troops!" Asunji shouted hysterically in shock.

‘Dang!Dang!Dang!’ The bell to withdraw the troops rang, and the attacking Turkic cavalry retreated like a tide. But at this time, Pei Xingyan ordered five thousand cavalry rushed from both sides. The Turkic cavalry was defeated and killed, and the corpses were everywhere. Thousands of people fled back to the camp in a panic.

Yang Yuanqing breathed a long sigh of relief on the platform. He finally found a way to deal with the Turkic cavalry, but the three thousand Modao soldiers were still too few, but if he wanted to equip more Modao soldiers, only Fengzhou could not bear the financial resources. Yang Yuanqing sighed slightly.

"Tell me my order and take the army back to the camp!"

.........

In a forest about five miles west of Xixing Pass, more than a thousand Sui army scouts were resting in the forest. Everyone leaned against a big tree, drinking water from the kettle and eating noodles. The soldiers were exhausted. Many soldiers were still sleeping with noodles in their mouths, while more than a thousand war horses were leisurely chewing hay on the other side.

The leader of this army, Lang General Wu Zhiyuan, stood on a big rock by the mountain forest, looking into the distance to Xixing Pass. From here, you can vaguely see the city tower of Xixing Pass. He knew that the main force of the Sui army was fighting with 100,000 Turks at this time, and a bold thought arose in his mind.

"General, he is here!"

A soldier brought the guide over, a Taoist priest who collected herbs and collected herbs from the mountains and rivers in this area for many years, and knew the terrain of this area well.

"Is there anything wrong with the general looking for me?" The Taoist priest stepped forward and bowed.

Wu Zhiyuan pointed to the Xixing Pass city tower in the distance and asked, "Is there a road from here to Xixing Pass?"

The Taoist priest concentrated on his mind and thought for a moment: "There is a very dangerous cliff path that can be passed through, but the war horses will definitely not do it."

Wu Zhiyuan asked happily: "How much time will it take?"

The Taoist priest smiled and said, "It seems not far away, but it actually takes different steps, at least two hours."

Wu Zhiyuan looked at the sky and immediately ordered: "All officers above the team come to have a meeting!"
