[Ding! Host has successfully won over Cai Yan, the most talented woman of the Three Kingdoms. Reward: One refresh of the system shop]

I never expected that I would end up taking Cai Yan down.

Not only can I gain her body, but I can also gain her talent, and now I can refresh the system shop. It's the icing on the cake!

Brilliant!

Currently, Liu Wei's troop growth rate is 4 population/second;

The equipment shop sells blue quality items, the troop shop sells yellow quality items, and the general shop sells green quality items.

Now that you've received a refresh reward, you can refresh your equipment/troops/generals again, improving their quality.

Currently, the battle is only taking place at Juyan Lake, and it is the God of War Xue Rengui leading four thousand white-robed cavalry and one thousand nine hundred black-armored cavalry there.

They were all equipped with blue-quality gear, making it a pure dimensional advantage against the barbaric and backward Yuchi Xianbei tribe.

Now that Liu Wei is conserving his strength, he doesn't need to conquer all sides for the time being, so he'll save this refresh opportunity for later.

"Brother Tong, why didn't I get any warning when I slept with Diao Chan, one of the Four Beauties?" Liu Wei immediately thought of this again.

[No notification? What else do you want, kid? How did this system even come about?]

The mechanical voice was expressionless, but Liu Wei detected disdain and mockery in it.

"You mean, Brother Tong, you got him from me after I slept with Diao Chan?"

"Wasn't it only activated after I was demoted to Shuofang by imperial decree and given a fiefdom?"

Good, you're so greedy! You've taken all the advantages! Watch out, or I'll format you!

A threat, a blatant threat!

When you're under a system, you have no choice but to submit.

"Brother Tong, please calm down!"

Liu Wei immediately said with a drooling face, "Actually, Brother Tong is extremely good to me."

"Without you, I don't know where I'd be eating dirt!"

That's more like it. Go ahead and get busy, don't bother me unless it's important!

After calming the system down, Liu Wei snapped out of his reverie and turned his gaze to Cai Yan, who was slumped over like a rag doll beside him.

A young woman with experience and life experience is different.

It felt a bit like driving a high-performance used car; whatever gear you wanted to shift into, it would respond perfectly.

With a slap of her buttocks, she knew it was time to roll over and change positions.

"Yan'er, let's take another drive around and then head straight for the highway!"

Liu Wei breathed hot air into Cai Yan's ear.

Cai Yan's eyes, still glazed and reluctant to open, betrayed her true nature, and she immediately wrapped herself around him.

After all, it had been sealed away for a year. Once it was ignited and activated, it was like a wild horse that couldn't be stopped.

"Your Highness is too fierce, this humble woman is a little overwhelmed. Please be gentler, Your Highness."

"Nupolobulem!"

......

Right now.

Beneath the walls of Juyan City.

Yuchi Jiong, under the orders of his elder brother Yuchi Gu, led 10,000 cavalry to block the roads around Juyan City.

Moreover, they threw a large number of rotten dead people, horses, and cattle into the Ruoshui River in an attempt to pollute the water source and trap the soldiers and civilians in the city.

However, Di Qing, the Blackwater Captain in the city, ordered his Blackwater Army to dig deep wells to extract groundwater, ensuring that the water source was not polluted at all.

Yu Chijiong's attempt was fruitless.

Over the past ten days, Di Qing has persuaded Geng Chun, the former garrison commander of Juyan, and his four hundred soldiers to join his ranks.

Under Di Qing's ideological offensive and the threat of the Xianbei people besieging the city from outside, the five thousand people in the city had already accepted this general with tattoos on his face.

Nearly 10,000 soldiers and civilians united as one, defending the city and refusing to leave the city to fight.

Yu Chijiong found himself alone again.

“Vice Commander, we have been besieging this place for more than ten days, but there is no sign of panic in the city.”

"They're eating and drinking as usual. This doesn't seem right!"

Several of Yuchi Jiong's generals offered their reminders.

“Something is not right. The three thousand soldiers of our people who were killed by the fire ox formation should have been the entire Zhangye Prefecture.”

“We will surround them here so that the king can seize Dunhuang and Jiuquan.”

"The king will soon send word that we can also go to Dunhuang to enjoy ourselves, so we don't have to smell the stench of the dead here."

The less panicked the city of Juyan appeared, the more uneasy Yuchi Jiong felt.

But he would still verbally defend his elder brother's wise decision.

However, this was due to the dumping of tens of thousands of corpses into the river.

After more than ten days of fermentation, the corpse gradually rotted, emitting a stench that was nauseating.

"So, brothers, keep a close watch on all the intersections, and don't even think about letting a fly get out."

A foul stench wafted over, catching Yu Chijiong off guard. He took a deep breath, and his stomach churned violently, making him feel extremely uncomfortable.

Just then, several riders in a hurry came galloping over.

"Did our elder brother send someone to tell us to retreat and march directly into Jiuquan?"

Yu Chijiong was overjoyed and hurriedly went to greet him.

"Reporting to the deputy commander, a large number of cavalry are coming from the east. Judging from their flags and attire, they are Han Chinese cavalry."

The rider was panting heavily, his face pale.

East?

Seven hundred li to the east lies the Hetao region.

The cavalry that came from such a far place were exhausted and not worth fearing.

Yu Chijiong was initially startled, but then he felt relieved.

However, what the scout said next sent a chill down Yuchi Jiong's spine:

"They have thousands of heavily armored cavalry, whose military bearing is more disciplined, whose warhorses are more powerful, and whose armor is shinier than that of Tuoba Khan's Tiger-Striped Cavalry!"

They even have heavy cavalry!

Yu Chijiong's face turned pale. He was well aware of the destructive power of heavy cavalry.

His 10,000 cavalrymen could escape without a problem, but if they were to charge head-on, they would be no match for the enemy's overwhelming force.

The only way to win is to rely on the mobility of light cavalry to engage heavy cavalry at a distance.

"Quickly, brothers, assemble the troops and get ready for battle!" Yu Chi Jiong hurriedly ordered.

The officers around him also heard the scouts report the presence of heavy cavalry, and they were all filled with fear and unease.

Upon hearing Yuchi Jiong's order, they quickly ran to their respective units.

But at that very moment, the sound of thunderous hooves rang out, approaching from afar.

Then, across the Gobi Desert on the opposite bank of the Ruoshui River, it was as if a huge dark cloud had drifted in, and ten thousand horses galloped.

The cavalry swept in like a tidal wave, less than two miles away.

What a fast marching speed!

Such amazement swept through the minds of Yu Chijiong and the other generals.

Fortunately, the enemy was not heavy cavalry, but light cavalry.

Since that's the case, let's show them the true power of the Yuchi Xianbei cavalry.

Several riders, ten riders, a hundred riders, a thousand riders, like streams flowing into a great river.

Yuchi Jiong's cavalry was equally formidable, quickly assembling five thousand-man cavalry units, led by their commander, to meet the Han army's light cavalry.

He sent 5,000 men to charge, leaving 5,000 behind, firstly to guard against a sudden attack from the city's troops, and secondly to prepare for a possible charge by the enemy's heavily armored cavalry.

While his five thousand men are entangled with the enemy's light cavalry, he must not allow any other reinforcements to appear.

Five thousand Xianbei cavalry and four thousand white-robed cavalry were less than a mile apart.

Outside Juyan City, a battle between light cavalry and light cavalry was about to break out.
