Ten miles away, the Sui army was still stationed in the original camp. On the same tower, Yang Yuanqing looked coldly at the attack of Zhong Dou Jiande's army on Zhuo County. He was now completely sure that Dou Jiande just wanted the five thousand heavy armored cavalry.

Looking at Dou Jiande's army's offensive, Yang Yuanqing resolutely ordered: "Transfer my order, and Xie Yingdeng and Qiu Shunde each led 3,000 archers and cavalrymen to harass the enemy's attack!"

‘Woo---’ The sound of trumpets sounded in the Sui army camp, and two archers rushed out from the wings of the camp. Although each Great Sui soldier was equipped with bows and arrows, the cavalry's archery generally had to dismount and shoot. After all, there were not many cavalrymen who could shoot archery on speeding war horses. The archers were specially trained. They were skilled in riding, able to control horses with their legs, and able to shoot quickly on high-speed war horses. Some cavalry could even shoot bows left and right.

The biggest difference between archers and ordinary cavalry is that they are equipped with short spears, shields with left hand and spears with right hand. The spears are inserted into the spear sheath behind the horse, and can be pulled out to fight at any time. Secondly, archers have three pots of arrows, which is enough to ensure their consumption in war.

In large-scale legion battles, the archers are mainly responsible for the outer rafting and destroying the enemy's formation, and to some extent they also play the role of scouts. This is why many scouts are born as archers.

Six thousand archers and cavalrymen divided their troops and rushed towards the southern city of Zhuo County. At the same time, Dou Jiande also observed the movements of the Sui army in the camp. The re-killing of the Sui army was as expected, but the Sui army was not an alliance with Youzhou after all. If Youzhou army is compared to sheep, then the Sui army is another group of wolves who are competing with him for the fat sheep.

It depends on who is quick and ruthless, so he can seize the fattest piece of meat. Dou Jiande only needs the five thousand heavy armored cavalry, and he can give the rest of his flesh to the Sui army. But the problem is that Dou Jiande also knows that things may not be as beautiful as he thought. How could the Sui army easily get the fat piece of meat of heavy armored cavalry?

"Prince, the Sui army cavalry is coming out!" A personal soldier shouted from the side.

Dou Jiande had already seen it. He could not let the Sui cavalry harasse his siege. Dou Jiande immediately ordered, "Let Dong Kang buy 10,000 cavalry to intercept!"

With the sound of drums and thunder, ten thousand cavalrymen rushed out of Dou Jiande's camp. They also divided their troops to attack the Sui army's archers and cavalrymen.

At this time, the Sui army camp also changed. Another 6,000 cavalry broke out of the camp. led by deputy general Qin Qiong. Qin Qiong took the lead, waved his long spear, roared like thunder, and the six thousand cavalry were like an iron dragon, and suddenly rushed into Dou Jiande's cavalry group. The two cavalry fought together in the wilderness, and Qin Qiong led his army out, effectively sharing the pressure of the archers.

Two archers rushed all the way, breaking through the encirclement of Dou Jiande's army, and soon rushed to the south city. They launched an attack behind the siege soldiers. Six thousand Sui archers galloped. Arrows shot out from the strong bows in their hands and shot at the siege soldiers.

At this time, the siege battle had reached its most dangerous moment. Dou Jiande issued a huge amount of 3,000 taels of gold to the first person who rushed into the city, and each of the top ten people rewarded 1,000 taels of gold, which greatly stimulated the fighting spirit of the siege soldiers. One hundred and fifty sieges were filled with soldiers who were attacking wildly, and arrows flying in the sky suppressed the Youzhou army on the front of the city to counterattack.

Although there were already many corpses under the city, the rich soldiers still climbed upwards regardless of everything, shouting and scolding, spear pierced the chest, slashed the head with a knife, slashed blood, and broke limbs flying everywhere. Hundreds of people rushed to the city and fought with the Youzhou army to death. More and more soldiers rushed to the city.

At this moment, a group of Sui army archers flew past the most dangerous siege ladder, and arrows shot up like a storm. The dense rain of arrows caused the siege soldiers on the ladder to be shot and fell down from the city with a scream.

The Sui army's archers and cavalry teams were a team of hundreds of people. The attacks from all directions caused a chaos in 40,000 siege soldiers. It was like when enjoying a delicious meal, they were suddenly stuck in their throats by a hard fish bone. Although there were only more than a thousand people and were not very casualties, they seriously disrupted the soldiers' siege. Especially the soldiers who attacked the upper city were not successful and were counterattacked by the Youzhou army, whose morale was soaring, and drove the enemy down to the city in one go.

Gao Yaxian, the general responsible for siege, felt so bitter in his heart. He was forced to helplessly and had to order the withdrawal of his troops, "Dang!Dang!Dang!" The bell of the gold-killing withdrawal sounded, and the siege soldiers retreated like a tide. The precarious siege situation was immediately resolved, attracting cheers from the defenders on the top of the city.

The Sui army's cavalry was too fast, and before Dou Jiande could send a second interception team, the situation changed. Dou Jiande was furious and turned around and shouted to the general Liu Heita: "Lead my guards to rush to the Sui army!"

Dou Jiande had five thousand most elite cavalry, selected from hundreds of thousands of troops. The guards were by his side and were called the Guards and generally did not fight. However, today the disturbance of the Sui army made him angry and sent out the most elite five thousand guards for the first time.

"The last one will obey the order!"

Liu Heita yelled at the cavalry behind Dou Jiande, "Come with me!"

Five thousand cavalrymen galloped in their horses, and their spear tips were like forests, like dark clouds, rushing towards the Sui archers and cavalry thousands of miles away.

Archers and cavalry generally do not fight directly with the enemy. When Xie Yingdeng saw a cavalry rushing towards his army, his murderous aura soared into the sky. He immediately ordered the soldiers around him, "Notify General Qiu and retreat south temporarily!"

Qiu Shunde was a side general under Yang Yuanqing. He surrendered with Wang Junkuo. He was very skilled in martial arts and was especially good at riding and shooting. He shot arrows while running at high speed. He shot hundreds of steps away from a hundred steps. He was highly appreciated by Yang Yuanqing and promoted him to the general of the bow and cavalry and commanded three thousand archers.

He received the order from Xie Yingdeng and immediately waved his spear and shouted loudly, "Brothers, retreat!"

Qiu Shunde turned his horse's head and led three thousand archers to retreat to the south. Xie Yingdeng's army also retreated south. Soon, six thousand archers left the battlefield.

At this moment, the bell of retreating troops came from the Sui army camp. Zhong Qin Qiong, who was fighting fiercely, immediately led the cavalry to leave the battlefield and retreat to the Sui army camp.
