    "The thief chief is dead! The thief chief is dead! The Turks have been defeated! The Turks have been defeated"

    Seeing Zhang Fangyi's arrow hit the arc, Ma Sui reacted quickly. Regardless of what happened with the arc, he immediately shouted "The Turks have been defeated."  The people on the top of the city didn't know the situation, so they also shouted.  The sound of the Sui army filled the field, shocking the Hu soldiers and boosting their morale.

    Thousands of Turkic cavalry also had faces full of astonishment. Such a ridiculous thing actually happened. Their coach died in front of the battle in such a confused way.  When General Hu saw the Sui people shouting loudly in the city, he thought they had ambushed a large number of soldiers and horses in the city. He did not dare to wait long and immediately ordered the Turks to retreat.  The large group of Turkic cavalry immediately turned around and crowded on the road between Gaopo in the west of the city and the Weishui River.

    " Arrows were flying like locusts on the top of the city, and the Turkic cavalry rear troops pushed the front troops forward. People and horses rushed together, panicking and not choosing their own way. Countless people were trampled by people and horses, and there were many casualties.  After a lot of tossing, he fled backwards, leaving only corpses on the ground.

    The Turks retreated for more than ten miles before resting. A Hu rider shouted, "Are the Sui people coming?" It can be said that they have lost all their courage.

    Fortunately, Du Liu also arrived with the rear army at this time.

    Contrary to Duliu¡¯s expectation, the arc shot not only failed to succeed immediately, but also cost him his own life.

    When Duliu saw the defeat of the forward troops, he was furious.  Seeing that the forward troops had been struggling for most of the day, they not only failed to conquer Xixian County, but also defeated the main general.  Therefore, the angry Du Liu Company beheaded several generals who had fled back, and then mobilized his troops to attack Xixian County.

    A general advised Liudu to be careful of the ambush in Yi County.  Du Liu didn't know how Hu Tushe died, so he didn't dare to neglect, so he had to rush to Yi County cautiously.

    When Duliu arrived at the city of Yi County, the gates of the entire city of Yi County were closed tightly, and there was no more soldiers on the city walls.  Seeing this strange situation, Du Liu did not dare to attack the city blindly, so he sent hundreds of cavalry to test the city.

    When the Turkic cavalry advanced not far from the city wall, the flag suddenly stood up again on top of the city.  Zhang Fangyi led hundreds of archers and private soldiers to fire arrows at the Turkic cavalry under the city.  The Turks under the city were caught off guard and fell off their horses one after another, and the offensive was interrupted.

    ??Du Liu is also very popular. Looking at the opponent's suspicion formation, he did not go out of the city to fight. Looking at the layout on the city today, we know that there are not many Sui army defenders in the city.  If the Sui general had some cavalry, the idiots in the vanguard might not be able to escape so easily.  What the people in the city did was just to delay time.

    And the idiot Arc Burst Shot not only allowed the opponent to successfully delay the Turkic army for an entire afternoon, but also accidentally lost his life and damaged the morale of the army.

    Although we know that the opponent's troops are insufficient, the city wall of Xi County is not low, and the opponent's morale is high.  Du Liu knew that he might not be able to capture the city in a short time.  If the army spends too much time in Xi County, then there will be no time to attack Yishou Sangong.

    The army in Xi County is more than enough to defend the city, but not enough to attack.  This small county town would not have an impact on the Turkic army's retreat, so Duliu decided to bypass Xi County directly.

    The army has been struggling for most of the night today. If they don't have a good night's rest, they will not be able to advance eastward tomorrow.

    Although he hated the Sui army in Yi County, Du Liu had no choice but to order the army to camp outside the city of Yi County, waiting to cross the Wei River at the ferry in Yi County tomorrow, and then turn to the southeast.

    Zhang Fangyi was on tenterhooks for half the night. He felt at ease when he saw that the Turks were camping outside the city without even making any appearance.  He didn't dare to send people to rob the camp, otherwise he would be in trouble if he angered this group of Turks and made them surround Xi County and not leave.

    Seeing that Xi County was not the target of the Turks, Zhang Fangyi wondered whether the Turks really wanted to attack Chang'an.

    Zhang Fangyi also knew a little about the emptiness of Chang'an. In order to slow down the Turks without angering them, Zhang Fangyi decided to use the strategy of exhausting his troops to consume the opponent.

    He ordered the young men in the city to gather all the drums and gongs in the city on the wall of the west city.  By the time the third watch was over, there was silence everywhere, and all the Turks fell into a deep sleep.  Zhang Fangyi then ordered everyone to beat drums and gongs vigorously towards the Turkic camp in the distance.

    The Turks were unprepared. When they heard the sound of war drums, they thought the Sui army in the city was going to make a sneak attack. They panicked and got up to fight.

    These Turks were exhausted from sitting on their horses for days.  We just lost a game in the afternoon. At this time, our morale is very low.

    Du Liu also thought that the Sui army was going to leave the city for a sneak attack, so he hurriedly sent people to investigate the movements of the Sui army on the top of the city.  As soon as hundreds of Turkic soldiers on horseback mounted their horses and rushed towards Xi County, the sound of drums and gongs on the city top suddenly stopped.

    The Turks had no choice but to wait for a long time and saw no movement of the Sui army at the top of the city, so they had to return.

    But within a quarter of an hour after these people returned to the camp, the Sui armyThe sound of drums and gongs sounded again on the top of the city.  The shock again made the Turks' scalps numb.

    The Turks sent people to the city of Xi County again. The Sui army immediately stopped beating and there was no more sound.

    Overnight, this was repeated four or five times. Every time the Turks just fell asleep, the Sui army from Xi County came to cause trouble.  Twice, the Turks were angry and tried to attack the city, but they were beaten back by rolling logs and rocks on top of the city.

    Du Liu understood that the Sui army in Xi County was deliberately trying to undermine the morale of his subordinates, but in order to reduce unnecessary casualties, he could only endure it.

    If they really fight with Xi County, it will be an advantage for the Sui people.  The Sui army would trade a small county town for its tens of thousands of troops, which they couldn't afford.

    Therefore, no matter how the Sui army harassed them, Du Liudu arranged for the army to stay still.

    Zhang Fangyi tested it again, but when he didn't see the Turks coming to kill him again, he knew in his heart that this time the Turks might think that he was a tired man and didn't want to put in any more effort.

    At this time, Zhang Fangyi felt extremely regretful. If he had hundreds of cavalry hidden in the dense forests of the high hills to the west, and the Turks suddenly rushed out from one side after they got used to the sound of gongs and drums, the main Turkic force would be defeated.  Lose money.  By then the siege of Xi County will naturally be resolved.

    "It's a pity that Zhang Fangyi couldn't bring out hundreds of cavalry, but he could only sigh in vain as he looked at the Turks' camp.

    By the next morning, not many people in the entire Turkic army had slept well.  Everyone had two huge panda eyes, and they were all exhausted.  Du Liu didn't have time to let them repair again, so he immediately broke camp and headed east early in the morning.

    Du Liu led the army all the way east. The disturbance in Xi County was just a farce to him and could not really harm the Turkic cavalry who were good at fighting.  But Du Liu's heart was full of bad thoughts. There were so many talented people in the Sui Dynasty, and there could be someone in a small county town who could trick them all around.  Perhaps the outcome of this battle with the Sui people may not be as smooth as he thought before.

    This time perhaps Duliu was left guessing. What Duliu didn't know was that there was a special army waiting for him on his way eastward.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
