The Sui army's night disturbance can only be considered a small episode. It cannot affect Jie Li Khan's determination to defeat the Sui army, nor can it stop the iron hoof of the 200,000 Turkic army from the south.

Its influence is only reflected in some subtleties, such as the physical strength and mentality of Turkic soldiers. These subtleties cannot be seen for the time being. Only in a long battle and when the physical strength is consumed greatly will it be slowly reflected.

This battle was inevitable for Jie Li Khan. Blizzards were already raging on the grasslands, and the blizzard was about to sweep into the south, and he had no way out.

Even though he was fighting against the enemy, Jie Li Khan was as confident as he had 200,000 elite troops, twice as many as the Sui army, and he would undoubtedly win this battle.

But Jie Li Khan also knew that confidence alone was not enough. He also needed to arrange troops and take advantage of the situation. There were many lessons and experiences in the battles between the Turks and the Sui army in the past, and he had to learn from them.

Among his 200,000 troops, there were 120,000 Turkish troops, of which 100,000 Turkish Guards were a system created in the era of Qimin Khan, which was to select elite troops from various Turkic troops.

They no longer engage in animal husbandry, and are full-time soldiers, responsible for guarding the Khan. They are well-equipped and well-trained. They are elites in the Turkic army. They are commanded by ten ten thousand men and are directly under the command of the Khan of the Turkic Khan.

In addition to 120,000 Turkic troops, there were 80,000 soldiers. Xue Yantuo and Uighurs each had 40,000 people. They were distributed on both wings. Jie Li Khan had made a promise to them that as long as the Sui army was defeated in this battle, the money of the Sui Dynasty would be allowed to be plundered and no longer distributed.

"Khan! The Sui army is ahead." A ten thousand men shouted, pointing ahead.

Jie Li Khan narrowed his eyes. He had seen the Sui army. Just ten miles away, he raised his arm and ordered: "The whole army will be united, slow down, and stop three miles apart!"

The 200,000 Turkic army began to rectify its team. It consisted of 10,000 people as a square formation. It was divided into twenty large square formations, covering the sky and almost covering the grassland.

The raised spears were densely packed like a forest. The team slowly advanced forward, getting closer and closer. When it was about three miles away from the Sui army's formation, it stopped moving forward.

A gust of cold wind blew over the grassland, and a groundhog leaned out from between the two armies, looked at both sides, and then crawled back into the ground in horror, never daring to show up again. The sky was gloomy and dark clouds were shrouded.

In the central army of the Sui army, there is a wooden tower two meters high next to the commander's flag, which is the command tower of the Sui army. In addition to the commander Yang Yuanqing and two commanders, there are eight flag bearers on the tower.

Thirty-six big drums and ten bronze bells are arranged under the wooden tower. The sound of drums and bells commands the advance and retreat of the Sui army. However, the eight-sided command flag bearers command specific troops.

On the wooden tower, Yang Yuanqing looked up at the gloomy sky, and clusters of dark clouds rolled in the northern sky. He felt that there seemed to be a little more wetness in the cold air today.

‘The blizzard is coming!’ Yang Yuanqing said to himself.

In the Turkic formation, many soldiers looked back at the northern sky in uneasy. The balls of low-rolling mo clouds were far north last night, and today they were close to each other. All the grassland people knew what this meant, and a blizzard was about to sweep.

However, Jie Li Khan was disdainful of the upcoming blizzard. His heart was filled with murderous intent, and there was a strong slaughter to sway a knife into the Sui army. He could no longer control his slaughter.

Jie Li Khan slowly pulled out his battle knife and stared at the Sui army's formation. He knew that the Sui army's heavy armored infantry must be hidden in the dense army. He knew very well that the heavy armored infantry was powerful and the Sui army's crossbow arrows. He had to send an army to suppress the Sui army's crossbow arrows first.

"Dahan!" Jie Li Khan shouted sternly.

A burly and thriving man came out to salute, "I wish to serve Khan!"

"You will fight for the first battle. If you don't die, you will be able to choose the women in Taiyuan City."

The ten thousand men sneered, "I want Yang Yuanqing's woman!"

The Turkic officers burst into laughter, and a hint of displeasure flashed in Jie Li Khan's eyes, but he immediately covered it up and said in a deep voice: I said, you can choose the women in Taiyuan City."

Jie Li Khan did not allow him to be arrogant anymore, and waved his sword and said, "Go to fight!"

"Woo——" The low trumpet sound blew in the Turkic formation. A square formation composed of ten thousand Turkic guards suddenly started. Ten thousand horses galloped, spears were like forests, and the rushing momentum of the Turkic army was like a flood, roaring and shouting to sweep towards the Sui army.

The Sui Tu battle finally kicked off under the dark clouds......

The Turks paid attention to one-stop fighting and momentum, while the Central Plains army focused on defensive counterattack. The difference in this combat method came from the advantages of the Central Plains army's bows and arrows.

Although the Turkic army's bows and arrows have made great progress at the end of the Sui Dynasty and have been able to compete with the Sui army, the combat style formed over the past few hundred years has never changed. The grassland nomadic army always charges and takes the lead, while the Central Plains army defends and counterattacks.

The Sui army had already been in line, with 4,000 powerful crossbows in front, in groups of two, carrying huge seven-stone yellow crossbows. If it was a wind, the effective killing distance of the powerful crossbow was 240 steps, but now it was against the wind, with strong wind and shooting in the wind, and the effective killing distance was only 180 steps.

They will launch the first wave of attacks, and after the attack is over, they will transform into pikes and array the defense command tower.

Behind the Crossbow Army are six thousand archers, who are responsible for the second round of attacks. After the second round of bow and arrow shooting, the archers will retreat to the two wings of the 6,000 heavy armor infantry behind to protect the heavy armor infantry from the side.

Behind the archers were the six thousand Modao Army. They were the key to Yang Yuanqing's victory in this war. They were commanded by Li Chongwei, the six-foot-seven-foot-tall-tall-tall-tall-tall-tall-tall-tall-tall-tall-tall-tall-tall-tall-tall-tall-tall-tall-tall-tall-tall-tall-tall-tall-tall-tall-tall-tall-tall-tall-tall-tall-tall-tall-tall-tall-tall-tall-tall-tall-tall-tall-tall-tall-tall-tall-tall-tall-tall-tall-tall-tall-tall-tall-tall-tall-tall-tall-tall-tall-tall-tall-tall-tall-tall-tall-tall-tall

Six thousand Modao heavy armored soldiers were in a row of 200 people, a total of 30 rows. They lined up neatly, and the six thousand Modao were like a sharp forest in the cold wind. Although they stood quietly, the murderous intent they had reached the critical point of detonation.

Yang Yuanqing stood on the command tower and stared at the 10,000 Turkic cavalry rushing in the distance. He saw through Jie Li Khan's tactics and sent 10,000 cavalry to destroy his crossbow army. He sneered, and these 10,000 cavalry were just here to boost morale to him.

"Shoot as planned, prepare!"

A yellow command flag was waving on the command tower. Zhou Ping, the general who commanded 4,000 heavy crossbow infantry, saw the yellow flag. He shouted loudly: "Prepare to shoot!"

Two thousand seven-stone yellow crossbows were lifted up, and the sharp arrow pointed at the Turkic cavalry roaring in the distance. The Turkic cavalry swept across the grassland, surging with momentum. The fierce sound of horse hooves hit the ground, making a rumbling sound like thunder, and the earth trembled.

Just when the first wave of Turkic cavalry was still three hundred steps away from the Sui army, Jie Li Khan issued an order to attack the entire army. He waved his sword forward and burst into a hissing voice: "The whole army is pressing forward, kill!"

‘Dong! dong! dong! dong! dong!’ The huge sound of war drums sounded on the grassland, and the 190,000 troops launched an attack at the same time. At first glance, the undulating Turkic cavalry rushed towards the Sui army formation like a black ocean.

Jie Li Khan would not make any mistakes in the past at this time. His greatest advantage was his huge power. He would not compete with the Sui army in formation, and would not let the Sui army defeat his troops one by one. Only by pressing the entire army of 200,000 can he maximize his advantage.

The powerful momentum inspired by the attack of the 200,000 army was enough to make any opponent scared, but Yang Yuanqing stood on the command tower without any movement.

Even if the 200,000 Turkic army was a surging sea, the Sui army would be an indestructible reef. No matter how raging the Turkic army would be, it would eventually be defeated by the Sui army.

Yang Yuanqing looked at the ten thousand cavalrymen who came from the front. The opponent had already rushed to two hundred steps away. The impatient Turkic army had shot out the arrows in his hand. The rain of arrows flew all over the sky, but the two thousand powerful crossbows did not move at all... They had already advanced 180 steps.

"It's ready to launch!"

Just as Yang Yuanqing blurted out, Zhou Ping, the general who was commanding the powerful crossbow, also shouted, "Call!"

Two thousand iron arrows, one foot and nine inches long, emerged from the string at the same time. The arrow power was extremely powerful. Two thousand iron arrows were like dense black shadows, and instantly shot into the rushing Turkic cavalry group.

The iron arrow shot through the shield of the Turkic cavalry, and screams were heard. The groups of Turkic cavalry running in front rolled and fell off their horses. The war horses were shot through their bodies, and blood burst out, and they were neighing and falling out.

More than 500 people were shot down in the first round of arrows, but the crossbow soldiers did not look at the results of the battle. They moved quickly and cooperated skillfully. At the moment when the arrows were shot, they immediately stepped on the bow and pulled the strings. One person raised the crossbow, and the other person took the arrow and put it in the groove, and completed it in one go.

The death of hundreds of people had no effect on ten thousand cavalry. The Turkic army accelerated its speed and rushed to a distance of 120 steps without unified command. The second round of powerful crossbows and iron arrows shot towards the Turkic cavalry like a storm.

The dense Turkic cavalry once again turned over and over, and this time the strike range was wider, with more than 800 people being shot over. Although in terms of time, the crossbow army still had a chance to attack for a third time, it was not allowed in tactical terms.

This is because the range of the Turkic cavalry bow is eighty steps, and the crossbow army needs time to retreat and must evacuate before the enemy enters a hundred steps, otherwise it will cause heavy casualties and will also have adverse effects on the archers and cavalry of the Sui army behind.

The Lang general Zhou Ping gave an order: "Retreat!"

Four thousand heavy crossbow infantry picked up the spears on the ground and ran and retreated to both sides like a tide, revealing a line of neat archers and cavalrymen. This is the traditional crossbow bow tactic. The crossbow bows first and then uses the length of the shooting distance to effectively kill and damage the impact of the enemy cavalry.

At this time, the Turkic cavalry had rushed to within a hundred steps. They were skillful in riding, controlling the horse with their feet, and using their waist and arms to shoot arrows while running and running at high speed.

Many Sui cavalry can do this, but it requires hard training to do it. However, the Turkic cavalry seems to be born with it. They can easily complete a series of difficult movements without training.

Just as more than 8,000 Turkic cavalry fired arrows together, six thousand archers also shot the first round of arrows, and the rain of arrows intertwined in the air, forming a dense net of arrows.
