    The sound of the trumpet fills the sky and the wind is filled with swallows, which condense into purple at night.

    The main battlefield between the two sides is like a millstone, constantly strangling the effective forces of both sides.

    Ashina Hulebo waved his flag and went straight to the Sui army's center to kill them.  In his opinion, no matter how elite the infantry on the other side is, they cannot stop the charge of his cavalry.

    Seeing the Turkic cavalry coming, the Sui army's central army immediately took back all the wooden planks above the trench, pushed out a large number of sword carts from behind the formation, blocked the horses, and arranged them on the north side of the trench.

    Seeing the Turks and horses coming to kill, thousands of bows and crossbows were pointed at the Hulu, and thousands of feather arrows were thrown into the sky.

    The Turks were hit hard while running wildly, and they were immediately knocked over.  However, these sacrifices are acceptable. Ashina Hulebo only needs to rush to the opponent's formation to slaughter the lambs waiting for slaughter.

    Suddenly, the front army fell on their backs, and all the knights fell into the ditch one after another.

    It turned out that there was an open trench and a hidden trench in front of the infantry, which caught the opponent by surprise.

    At this time, the bloody battle between the two sides was in full swing. The high-speed cavalry could not avoid the obstacles in front of them. They ran into the ditch one after another, filling the flesh and blood river with their lives.

    Ashina Hulebo knew that the process of cavalry charge was a process of competition of wills, so he rushed forward like crazy, not caring about casualties at all.

    The rear army supported the front army and broke through the trench. After a lot of casualties, they finally reached the Sui army's formation.  Then what they faced was not the Sui army waiting to be slaughtered, but the densely packed iron caltrops and countless horses, swords and chariots in front of the Sui army's formation.  Every time the Turks took a step forward, they suffered heavy casualties and rivers of blood flowed.

    Seeing that the Sui army was defending with ease, the Turkic army was helpless.

    Ashina Hulebo went straight in, trying to open the gap through his personal bravery and leadership, but this time he faced the equally unstoppable Sui army.  Therefore, he just took a few steps forward, and dozens of crossbows were aimed at him. Although he managed to escape, his horse was shot by the Sui army, and he was injured in the shoulder. Finally, he was rescued by his bodyguards and returned to the main formation.

    Ashina Hulebo's face was pale, and in the end he didn't understand how the battle ended like this.

    Seeing that even the most courageous Ashina Hulebo could not break the formation, Bujia Khan's face turned gloomy.

    At this time, Ashina Simo advised: "Khan, today's battle is related to the overall situation. Our army has no way to retreat and can only fight to the death. It is better to order all the heavy cavalry to charge, and we will definitely break through the Sui army's formation."

    Seeing that there was nothing he could do against the Sui army, Bujia Khan had no choice but to order General Yuelu to lead all the heavy cavalry to fight in a desperate fight.

    At this time, the battle on both wings also started. Compared with the weak Turkic brigades deployed by Bujia Khan on both wings, the Sui army was the most elite Fengzhou cavalry.  Although the numbers of both sides were similar, the Sui army's combat power was astonishing, forcing the Turkic cavalry to retreat step by step, and it turned out to be a one-sided trend.

    Bujia Khan also knew that his wings could not support him for long, so he had to place all his hopes on Yuelu.

    "Yuelu, the fate of the Great Turks is entrusted to you."

    Yuelu clenched his fist with his right hand and beat his chest, paying tribute to Bujia Khan. Then he clamped his horse's belly and rushed towards the Sui army in front.  Since the establishment of the Eastern Turks' three thousand heavy cavalry, Yuelu's troops have been almost invincible.  At the beginning of the year, Chujia Khan also relied on this heavy cavalry to defeat the Tiele tribes at the Posu River, and almost captured Qu Gureng alive.  Therefore, Yuelu was full of confidence and believed that he had the ability to break through the iron walls of the Sui army.

    The hoofs of Yuelu's horses stepped over, and the whole mountains and rivers shook.  The charging Turkic army heard the sound and immediately dispersed to both sides, leaving the road in the middle.

    With the power of heavy cavalry, Yuelu's troops came towards the main position of the Sui army.

    The crossbowmen of the Sui army kept shooting at this group of heavy cavalry, but with little effect.  These people rushed forward step by step. Although their speed was not very fast, they came like a mountain and seemed to be suffocating everyone else on the battlefield.

    Only Huang Mingyuan looked at Yuelu's troops across from him and sneered: "These barbarians are trying to imitate my armored cavalry of the Sui Dynasty, but it's a pity that they can only imitate their actions but not their spirit."

    Sima Yong asked curiously: "General Huang has set up such a large formation to put the entire Turkic army into his pocket, but isn't the general worried that a snake will swallow a tiger and his stomach will be burst by the Turks?"

    Huang Mingyuan said: "The timid will starve to death, and the bold will starve to death. I'm also afraid that my appetite is too big. These people don't have enough to eat. I just get used to it and it will be fine."

    At this time, the Turkic heavy cavalry was about 250 steps away from the Sui army's high platform, and was already at the edge of the trench, almost reaching the Sui army's central position.  Where were those trenches from before?They were all filled with the corpses of Turks and horses, and they were allowed to cross the ditch on the corpses.

    Seeing that the Turkic heavy cavalry was about to hit the Sui army, Huang Mingyuan from the high platform gave an order, and four hundred catapults and two hundred crossbows began to show their power.

    In order to make these catapults more powerful, Huang Mingyuan reduced the weight of the stone bullets. Most of the stone bullets only weighed more than ten kilograms.  But this is already very powerful, after all, they are not used to bombard the city wall.  And because it was close to the Changgen River, the river bank was full of large pebbles, so the Sui army did not even need to polish the stone bullets.

    Hundreds of catapults were seen roaring together, countless stone bullets were thrown at the Turks' heavy cavalry like dense rain, and countless three- and four-inch spears were also running rampant in the Turks' formation.  Yuelu's troops were caught off guard and were hit numerous times by stone bullets and short spears.

    Although these heavy cavalry are all wearing iron armor and can avoid swords, the iron armor really can't stop the heavy blow of the crossbow at this time.  As for the stone bullets, they hit a person hard with inertia and immediately shatter their bones into pieces. Even wearing ten layers of armor is useless.

    Seeing the incomparable power of the Sui army's catapults and crossbows, and not knowing how many people were lost in this sudden collapse, Yuelu's eyes were red and his heart was bleeding.  Seeing that he could not move forward, Yuelu ordered his troops to kill on both sides to avoid these raging artillery vehicles.  As long as they break through the two wings of the Sui army and defeat their main cavalry, more than half of the battle will be won.

    Huang Mingyuan looked at it and shook his head. The Turkic people's ability to adapt to changes is indeed not very good.

    At this time, Sima Yong said again: "Is this also under the general's calculation? There are more than a thousand heavy cavalry. It is difficult to stop them with their flesh and blood and the courage of an ordinary man."

    Huang Mingyuan said: "Then what if I also use heavy cavalry to block it?"

    Sima Yong was at a loss for words, so he could only say: "The general is a master of calculation."

    I saw the flag on the high platform turning, and a fully armed cavalry was shot out from each of Dugu Lan and Qiao Zhongkui's troops. They were the two thousand armored cavalry that Huang Mingyuan had gathered before.

    Huang Mingyuan had already expected that if the opponent's heavy cavalry was blocked from a frontal attack, it would turn to attack from both sides. At this time, Huang Mingyuan used the armored cavalry that was ready to attack the opponent's heavy cavalry that suffered heavy casualties, and he thought he would be able to capture it easily.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
