    Ashina Banxi is a proud man, a typical prairie knight who is not afraid of death and pursues honor.

    Like his ancestors, Ashina Bansi looked down upon the Sui army's cavalry at all, thinking that they were just fluff.  The Sui army rode out lightly and unprepared. In Ashinabanxi's view, this was just a piece of fat that he put in his mouth, which he used to show off his power to the Sui army.

    At this time, Ashina Banxi had long forgotten the relic's instructions to avoid fighting. He wanted to defeat the Sui army in an upright manner and defend the dignity of the Turkic cavalry.  As for Meijian City, it is just a dilapidated residence. Even if it is a big city like Chang'an, Ashina Banxi would not be able to defend it, let alone an abandoned place.

    On the morning of June 9th, the sun was shining brightly and the blue sky was spotless.

    The well-prepared general Ashina Banxi ordered Burek to lead two thousand cavalry southward, bypassing the undulating South Huermen (now Huermen County, Mongolia) area, copying the Sui army's rear route, while Ashina  Banxi personally led more than 3,000 cavalry to attack the Sui army.

    With one against one, Ashinabanxi felt that he had a good chance of winning.

    The sentinel and cavalry system of the Sui army was no less than that of the Turks, so when Ashinabanxi's army came to kill, Zhang Wenyuan immediately got the message.

    At this time, Zhang Wenyuan can choose to retreat directly to join his headquarters. After all, they only have a reconnaissance mission and do not need to engage with the enemy's forward.  However, seeing that there were not many enemy troops, Zhang Wenyuan did not want to lose this opportunity.

    Zhang Wenyuan ordered his men to immediately go south to report the Turkic enemy attack to the Chinese army, while moving his cavalry to the southwest.  To the southwest of Zhang Wenyuan is the remnant of an unknown mountain range. The terrain is higher and one can overlook the north and gain an advantage.

    Ashinabanxi did not expect that the Sui army would react so quickly. In his plan, his cavalry would directly attack the Sui army and kill the unsuspecting enemy troops. Unexpectedly, they missed the target.

    Ashina Banxi immediately reacted and the Sui army fled.

    Ashina Banxi decided to pursue and fight fiercely. Following the traces left by the Sui army, his cavalry tracked all the way to the high ground where Zhang Wenyuan's troops were located.

    Zhang Wenyuan looked at the Turkic army in front of the formation. The opponent was lined up in scattered formations of twos and threes, roaring from the entire north.  Densely packed, like a group of giant ants.

    Although the opponent does not seem to have too many troops, they are relatively loosely connected, so they appear overwhelming.

    If such a formation were to be used in the Central Plains, it would easily be torn open by the opponent's elite cavalry, causing an avalanche of the formation.  Although his subordinates kept asking for battle, Zhang Wenyuan was not in a hurry to retreat.

    Zhang Wenyuan, who has been fighting fiercely with Hulu for many years, knows very well that this is just a trap that looks delicious.  The Hulu were more skilled in horsemanship than the Han cavalry. As long as the Sui army stormed the dispersed areas with the intention of tearing apart the opponent's formation, the opposing cavalry would immediately concentrate on the two wings of the central army from the dispersed array.  At that time, the Sui army broke deeper and deeper into the small encirclement cleverly set by the opponent, until they were annihilated by the opponent one by one.

    This method of warfare seems simple, but it requires very high personal abilities of the rider, which can only be accomplished by the elite Turkic cavalry.  When he was in Yuanyang Town, he had suffered losses from the Turkic army's tactics when he fought with the Turkic Shidro troops.

    Zhang Wenyuan's brother Zhang Wenxun also requested: "Brother, let me test the opponent's fighting strength." However, Zhang Wenyuan refused.

    Zhang Wenyuan¡¯s original status in the Datong Department was not high, but his ability to gradually occupy a position second only to Zheng Yanqing was not only due to his sensitivity to tactics and strategies, but also to his cautiousness, well-planned strategies, and ability to command the three armies.

    "I'm not busy, just wait."

    Ashinaban did not take the bait when he saw the Sui army on the opposite side, and he did not care.  Although the land where the Sui army lived was relatively high, its terrain was not enough to affect the overall situation.

    Seeing that the Sui army on the opposite side did not move, Ashina Banxi couldn't help but sneer. The Sui army was really incompetent and could not escape without fighting. Could it be that the commander-in-chief of the Sui army was already stupid.

    Ashina Banxi waved his hand and ordered the cavalry on the left and right wings to disperse to both sides, preparing to encircle the Sui army on three sides.

    At this time, what Ashina Banxi wanted was no longer to defeat the Sui army, but to completely annihilate it.

    Zhang Wenyuan on the hill couldn't help but chuckle when he looked at the arrogant Turkic army.  This Turkic army was still not hurt by the Sui army. Don't you know that the Sui army was not afraid of one-on-one field battles?  The Turks might not be able to defeat the Sui army if they gathered together to launch a group attack. Now they would be seeking death if they dispersed their attacks.

    At this time, Zhang Wenyuan ordered his subordinates to raise their own banners, and ordered his younger brother Zhang Wenxun to lead half of the cavalry to attack the central Turkic army where Ashina Banxi was.

    The red battle flag belonging to the Datong Army is flying in the wind.  The Great Sui Dynasty promoted the virtue of fire, and the flag was red.  However, the flag of the Toyoshu Army will have the image of a flying eagle.??Extraordinarily eye-catching.

    Seeing the Turks wreaking havoc, Zhang Wenxun had already suppressed his anger. After receiving his brother's military order, he raised his sword and mounted his horse. With a wave of his command flag, thousands of men surged behind him like ocean waves.

    Huang Mingyuan reformed the tactics of the army since he took charge of the army. He abandoned the original imitation of the Hulu cavalry because the Sui army's equestrian skills were not as good as the Hulu cavalry. Instead, he arranged the Sui army's tactics by taking advantage of the Sui army's equipment and formations.

    Although the general cavalry combat in Datong will be adapted to local conditions, the basic tactics are modified from the "piercing method" of the Mongolian cavalry's three armies and the "wall tactics" of the European cavalry.

    The Mongolian "penetration method" is to "enter the mountain peach bark bush, form a formation like a sea, and attack like a drill", that is, divide the small teams into low postures and advance in close contact; form a sea-like formation and surround them from all sides; use the chisel attack technique.  Just like that, drive straight in and directly attack the army.

    The Sui army, on the other hand, adopted "wall tactics", focusing on group combat and compressing the formation to make it more compact.  On the battlefield, there are usually strong bows and powerful crossbows, and the main attacking force is divided into several groups to point at the enemy like chisels. The Sui army's heavy assault capabilities are used to continuously squeeze the opponent's movement space, and then the opponent's weakest point can be eliminated.  torn apart.  In addition to the auxiliary forces, the attack points of each group of chisels are directed at the opponent's command center, resulting in a large army advancing straight in and blooming in all directions.

    It was also by relying on this more advanced tactic without many flaws that the Sui army repeatedly defeated the grassland troops who were good at conquering and fighting.

    Zhang Wenxun's main force was divided into three arrows. They were condescending and took advantage of the terrain to slam into the Turks' formation.  As soon as the two sides engaged in battle, people immediately fell on their backs and smoke billowed.

    Although Ashinabanxi's cavalry had reached its maximum speed, it could not completely offset the pressure brought by gravity. Therefore, when the two sides engaged in battle, the Sui army naturally made several gaps in their formation.

    If it is normal, as long as the attack caused by this gravitational potential energy is offset, the Turkic cavalry can quickly use the superb skills of the riders to divide the Sui army.

    But after the battle, what surprised Ashinabanxi was that what they hit was not just a cavalry, but a wall or a mountain.

    For the first time, Ashinabanxi felt that the Sui army might not be as bad as he thought.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
