The Sui army showed it to be weak and kept retreating, which seemed a little panicked. The flag was crooked, the spear was messy, and the team was no longer neat. However, no matter how messy the Sui army seemed, the main formation bond was not broken, like a pile of messy copper coins, but as long as the money rope was pulled up and shook, the copper coins immediately became neat.

The two armies encounter by chance. If one side is unwilling to fight, they can use the method of retreating to fight to indicate that they leave immediately. If the other side is unwilling to fight, they will remain silent and wait for the other side to leave.

However, the Turkic cavalry obviously did not want the Sui army to retreat. They pressed step by step, and the army crossed the Zihe River and moved south with the Sui army, like a group of wolves staring at their prey, not in a hurry to start, waiting for the best opportunity.

After retreating for about five or six miles, the Sui army saw that it could not get rid of the Turkic army, so they stopped retreating and began to quickly arrange their formation.

Kang Shuolli was waiting for this opportunity. He waved his knife and yelled, "Kill!"

Five thousand Turkic cavalry suddenly launched, and rushed towards the Sui army three miles away like a sandstorm.

Pei Xingyan waved his sword and shouted: "Range the bow and arrow formation!"

The five thousand Sui army quickly changed its position and formed three rows. All the soldiers raised their crossbows, and the cold crossbow arrows aimed at the cavalry that was coming from the sky.

The sound of hooves was like thunder, and the Turks were running closer and closer, five hundred steps...three hundred steps...two hundred steps...the killing range of crossbow arrows was gradually approaching.

At this time, a clapper sound, the Sui army's arrow formation suddenly started, and a crisp sound of crossbows sounded. The first row of two thousand arrows rose into the air, forming a dense rain of arrows in the air, making a strange sound, roaring like locusts, shooting towards the heads of the Turks. The Turks running in the front were overturned and the arrows shot into the soldiers. The head was shot through instantly, and blood was splattered everywhere. The war horse was shot and fell down with a tragic neighing, pressing the soldiers under them.

A rain of arrows killed and injured more than 200 cavalrymen, which made the Turks' crazy arrogance frustrated. However, their attack did not stop and continued to attack the Sui army's formation. The second wave of arrows hit again, and another group of people turned over and over. The third wave of 1,500 arrows shot out again. At this moment, their vanguard troops were less than 150 steps away from the Sui army's formation.

The second round of the Sui army's arrow formation was launched. A drum sounded, and two thousand crossbows were fired at the same time. A dense rain of arrows rose into the air, forming a long black cloud of arrows in the air, instantly turning into black dots, shooting towards the Turks head-on.

The Turkic cavalry who were already prepared raised their shields to greet each other, but the crossbows of the Sui army dominated the world. They not only had long range, but also had strong strength. Ordinary shields and leather armor could not resist them at all, especially when they were shot from the air, the arrows were even more gravity-willed when they descended, making the wooden shields of the Turkic cavalry a decoration.

The powerful and heavy armor-transparent crossbow arrow pierced the cavalry's shield and shot through the leather armor. The cavalry were shot into the arrows and fell from the horse, and the wailing sounds were everywhere. Then the second wave, the third wave of crossbow arrows roared like raindrops, so dense that it was breathless. The long arrow fell down, shot through the shield, and shot through the enemy's face and chest.

These Turkic cavalry seemed to be crops destroyed by storms, falling down one by one, blood splattering everywhere, and tragically wailing. The morale of the enemy disappeared sharply. They began to shake. The horse's hooves were no longer strong, and the shouts were no longer brave. It seemed that the strong wind blew through the dark clouds. In an instant, the clouds cleared and the fog dissipated. The Turkic attack encountered powerful snipers. They were hit hard. The Sui army only shot two rounds of arrows, and the five thousand cavalry reduced by 20%, and more than a thousand casualties.

Kang Shuolli, who was supervising the battle behind, took a breath. He had never seen such a powerful and domineering crossbow. The Turkish bows and arrows were far different from the Sui army crossbows. Although bows and arrows were not the strengths of the Turks, the Turkic army was good at sprinting at short distances and used powerful impact forces to destroy the opponent's defense line.

But even the Tang army, which is good at bows and arrows, seems to be unable to compare with the crossbows of the Sui army. Despite the heavy casualties, Kang Shuoli still did not change his plan. He knew that the Turkic army would sooner or later fight against the Northern Sui army, but they knew nothing about the Northern Sui army. So use today's battle to test the combat effectiveness of the Sui army!

He raised his deer antler and blew hard, "Woo---

The low sound of trumpets resounded throughout the field, which was the order of attack. The Turkic cavalry, which was only two hundred steps away from the Sui army, rushed towards the Sui army again. They flew over the corpses all over the ground, waved swords and spears, and rushed towards the Sui army formation with an unstoppable momentum.

At this time, the Sui army had already begun to change its formation. They carried military crossbows and picked up the spears under their feet. The formation began to shrink rapidly. Three rows of five thousand people also turned into nine rows, forming a square formation.

There were 500 strong and tall soldiers in the first three rows each holding a spear of 18 feet in their hands. They were half-squatted, with the tail of the spear being pressed to the ground. All the Sui soldiers were very nervous. Although they had trained this formation more than once, it was just training, and today they were really fighting.

The Turkic cavalry were getting closer and closer, and murderous aura swept over the sky. At this time, no matter whether it was attacking the Turkic cavalry or the Sui soldiers who were fighting, they could no longer retreat. Many Sui soldiers could not help but close their eyes.

A loud bang of 'boom!', like a huge wave slamming on the solid reef, suddenly blood and flesh flew everywhere. More than a hundred war horses and soldiers were pierced by spears. The war horses neighed and the soldiers screamed, but the huge impact force still struck nearly a hundred Sui soldiers and flew out. Five or six gaps were instantly torn open, and more than thirty Turkic cavalry rushed into the formation.

The Sui soldiers behind immediately stepped forward and used their spears to withstand the impact of the Turkic cavalry on the formation. Although the first powerful impact caused hundreds of Sui soldiers to suffer casualties, the spear formation still withstand the powerful impact of the Turkic cavalry.

With the single power of soldiers, it is impossible to fight against cavalry, even a team of infantry is not good. However, if a formation is used, thousands of people use spears to form formations and use collective power to fight against cavalry, it is possible.

At this time, the Turks divided their troops into three groups, fighting with the Sui army head-on, while the other two cavalry attacked the left and right wings of the Sui army respectively.

Pei Xingyan wanted to test the mixed combat of infantry and cavalry, not the infantry fighting against the Turkic cavalry alone. Even if he resisted the attack of the Turkic cavalry in the end, he would definitely suffer heavy losses. This was not the result that Pei Xingyan wanted. He immediately ordered: "Let the cavalry attack!"

Several Sui soldiers immediately blew the horn, "Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-

The Sui army's continuous horn sound made Kang Shuolli stunned. He began to realize that something was wrong and hurriedly looked around. Suddenly, a soldier behind him shouted: "Zhuguo, Sui cavalry are coming!"

Kang Shuoli turned around and saw countless Sui cavalry coming out of the forest, rushing towards the Turkish rear army like a crazi wave. Kang Shuoli was shocked and lost his soul. There were only more than a hundred cavalry beside him, and he could not resist the powerful impact of the Sui cavalry.

In desperation, he had no time to notify other troops, turned his horse's head and ran to the west, shouting, "Send an order to withdraw the troops!"

The low sound of the Turkic army's antlers sounded again, which was the order to withdraw. Many cavalry also discovered the black Sui cavalry coming from behind, which scared them to turn their horses and run away. However, the Sui cavalry surrounded them from three sides and instantly swallowed up more than a thousand Turkic cavalry attacking from the front.

The Sui army infantry also began to counterattack, blocking two gaps with spear formations, making the Turkic cavalry unable to evacuate. The infantry and cavalry cooperated very well. The Turkic cavalry was killed so that the corpses were everywhere, and blood stained the grasslands.

Only a few hundred people escaped from the 4,000 Turkic cavalry, and the rest died under the joint strangulation of Sui cavalry and infantry. More than 2,000 war horses were seized, but the Sui infantry and cavalry also paid a heavy price of more than 600 casualties.

Kang Shuoli was extremely frightened. He sent several cavalrymen to Yunnei County to inform a thousand cavalry to retreat north immediately, and he himself led the remaining troops to flee to Fuqibo's Turkic camp.

Pei Xingyan ordered Lai Tao to lead more than 4,000 infantry to clean the battlefield and treat the wounded. He walked slowly behind him, and led 5,000 cavalry to turn around and run wildly towards Yunnei County.
