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 jets, but now it is different. The equipment of the Turkic Army
It was close to the Sui army, and the opponent's troops were twice as strong as his. If it was a head-on battle, even if the Fengzhou army was undefeated, it would have suffered heavy casualties, which went against his original intention.
More importantly, Yang Yuanqing wanted to hold the Turkic army down, 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 were forced to retreat north. 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 commander. At this time, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He took out a letter and handed it to a personal soldier, "Put this letter into the enemy's camp!"
The personal soldiers took the order to run towards the Turkic camp. His horse rushed straight to the camp gate. At this time, a team of more than 100 Turkic cavalrymen came out. The personal soldiers took a bow and shot an arrow, which had a letter inserted.
She turned his horse to run up the hill, and 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 is Zuoji General Asankunji, who is also a Turkic royal family. He is about 37 or 38 years old this year. He is the younger brother of Qimin Khan and the uncle of Shibi Khan. He is also a very important figure in the Turkic.
, named Tel by Shibi Khan.
Asuna Kunji is a cautious person. He knows that Yang Yuanqing is intimidating the grassland. Turkic soldiers are generally afraid of him and their morale will not rise. More importantly, Yang Yuanqing knows the Turkic Army very well and he can capture the Turkic Army.
Weakness 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, and saw the envelope 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 10,000 troops, and the time was free. This was the traditional Turkish way of combat. The two sides agreed on the number of people and the location and time, regardless of the outcome,
No support is allowed, but this is 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 Hu Tai 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 and dozens of generals followed the gate to watch the battle.
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 rectangular formation, with a row of thousands of people, a total of three rows, with cavalry protection on both sides, and the weaknesses of the Modao Army were found on the side. The three thousand Modao Army used the blades, which was slightly better than the later Modao Army.
Short and bulky, but not much different in power.
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 is made with crossbowmen in front, cavalry behind, and infantry at the end. This time, cavalry is in front, heavy infantry in the middle.
The crossbow was pressing the array behind, and this array method surprised the Turkic 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 attacking in the Turkic barracks were loud, and the drums of attacks soared into the sky. Ten thousand Turkic cavalry shouted and launched an offensive, and ten thousand cavalry came in more and more.
The faster they held up the sword and spear, and rushed towards the Sui army like a storm. This time, neither side used bows and arrows, and it 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 infantry behind. Three thousand heavy armored soldiers were shoulder to shoulder, as steady as a mountain, and three thousand magic swords were brushing the ground.
Three thousand pairs of eyes stared coldly 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, even though he had more than a year of intensive training.
All the loopholes that are expected have been completed, but whether they can withstand the impact of Turkic cavalry must 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 sword was raised and slashed away with the first rushing horse. In an instant, the horse rushed towards him. The sword flashed, and blood burst out. A group of people were tilted over and over, the horse was neighing, or the horse's legs were horses.
If it is broken or the head is chopped off, a piece of corpse will suddenly accumulate in front of the Modao Army.
But there was also a hole that was washed away. More than 20 heavy armored soldiers on the west side were unable to withstand the impact. They were knocked open by war horses. The second row was also hit, and the heavy armored soldiers in the third row fought.
The formation of more than 300 people on the west side became a little chaotic. The Sui cavalry next to him quickly rushed to fight, and the Modao Army on the west quickly formed a team and gradually resumed its formation.
This result made Yang Yuanqing not expect that the wall arranged by the heavy armored Mo Dao Army would withstand 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 formation became more and more stable, and it began to launch an active attack. The three thousand Mo Dao Army advanced step by step. Every step forward, hundreds of Turkic cavalry strangled under the sword.
But 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, which was not a new weapon. For hundreds of years, the Central Plains army had a horse-killing sword.
There are also heavy armor infantry and gun formations against cavalry. However, today, the Fengzhou Sui army generals killed the sabers, and the heavy armor infantry and gun formation combined together to form a powerful weapon, heavy armor long sword
Formation, this is simply a nightmare for cavalry.
"Send the order to withdraw the troops!" Asunji shouted hysterically in shock.
'Dang! Dang! Dang! Dang!' The bell to withdraw the troops rang, and the attacking Turkic cavalry retreated like a water, but at this time, Pei Xingyan ordered that five thousand cavalry rushed from both sides, and the Turkic cavalry was defeated and killed
People were overwhelmed by horses, and corpses were everywhere, and 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. However, the three thousand Modao Army was still too few, but if he wanted to equip more Modao Army, only Fengzhou would not be able to financially
Taking responsibility, Yang Yuanqing sighed slightly.
"Tell me my order and take the army back to the camp!"
.........
In a forest about five miles west of Xixingguan, more than a thousand Sui army scouts were resting in the forest. Everyone leaned against a big tree, drinking the water in the kettle and eating noodles. The soldiers had already
Exhausted, many soldiers fell asleep with bread in their mouths, while more than a thousand war horses were leisurely chewing hay on the other side.
The leader of this army, General Wu Zhiyuan, stood on a big rock by the forest, looking into the distance to Xixingguan. From here, you can vaguely see the city tower of Xixingguan. He knew that the main force of the Sui army was with the 100,000 Turks at this time.
When a man fought at Xixing Pass, he had a bold idea 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 all year round, 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 thought for a moment and said, "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 is actually different when walking, it will take at least two hours."
Wu Zhiyuan looked at Tianse and immediately ordered: "All officers above the team come to have a meeting!"
