Add it! It absolutely must be added!

"Today I will cut your bow in half and give you a new one!"

I never expected that Murong Ping was such a money-grubber.

It is estimated that they lived in the harsh conditions between the white mountains and black waters, and were terrified of hardship and poverty.

No wonder the Eastern Han court was willing to serve as mercenaries as long as they were paid.

I don't know which damned bastard withheld their rations, which led to them rebelling under Zhang Chunyi's instigation.

This may also provide Liu Wei with a completely new approach for quelling the Wuhuan rebellion in Youzhou in the future.

Upon hearing that Liu Wei not only added money but also gave him a bow, Murong Ping figured that it must be a valuable item from this prince, and he loudly thanked him.

Liu Wei immediately spent 100 gold coins in the system shop to exchange for a green-quality iron bow!

"Take it!"

Murong Ping's vision blurred, and Liu Wei produced a brand-new large bow from nowhere and threw it at him.

He hurriedly reached out and grabbed it; the bow was made of fine iron, far superior to his original one, and he was overjoyed.

Now, Murong Ping is completely convinced by Liu Wei. If Liu Wei asked him to commit suicide, he probably wouldn't even flinch.

"My lord, behold my divine arrow!"

With the iron-rimmed bow in hand, Murong Ping seemed to have been reborn, shooting arrows at his own people one by one without hesitation.

No, these are not compatriots, but rather obstacles that hinder Murong Ping's acquisition of wealth!

The seventeen riders of Yanyun had already routed the hundred Wuhuan cavalrymen, and with Murong Ping's defection and long-range support, in less than an hour, the hundred Wuhuan cavalrymen lay dead on the spot, none of them surviving.

Even if someone was still alive, he would have them shot dead by Murong Ping, otherwise he wouldn't be able to live with himself.

The black cloaks of the seventeen riders of Yanyun were stained even blacker with blood, and were so wet that they no longer flowed freely!

And their crescent-shaped swords, their tips dripping blood.

When Yan Da and his group arrived at Liu Wei's side, they discovered that Liu Wei also had a Wuhuan person with him, and they immediately prepared to draw their swords and attack.

Murong Ping was utterly inept in close combat. Seeing the blood-soaked crescent blade slashing towards him, he was terrified, his hair standing on end, and dared not move, shouting:

"My lord, save me!"

"Stop! He has already submitted to me. He just shot and killed seventeen of his own people with arrows as a pledge of allegiance, ha ha!"

Liu Wei shouted, and Yan Da's sword stopped above Murong Ping's head, with drops of the blood of his compatriot falling onto Murong Ping's head.

He dared not move an inch.

The seventeen riders around Liu Wei wiped out his hundred Wuhuan cavalry.

Murong Ping then realized the difference between the Wuhuan cavalry and the Han cavalry.

"Since you are loyal to your lord, you must be wholeheartedly devoted. If you have any disloyalty, I will take your head at any time," Yan Da threatened with a gloomy face.

Those who are not of our kind will surely have different hearts.

Yan Da was worried that this Wuhuan man posed a threat to them, but Liu Wei insisted on keeping him around, so Yan Da gave him another stern warning.

"Brother guard, I swear to follow my lord, even unto death!"

Murong Ping solemnly and loudly guaranteed.

"Alright, I believe he wouldn't dare!" Liu Wei smiled faintly, waved for Yan Da to leave, glanced into the distance, and said, "Continue the charge! Head for Yuan Shao!"

After annihilating one hundred Wuhuan cavalrymen, Liu Wei pointed his sword in the direction of Yuan Shao.

At this moment, the personal guards of the three captains also joined the battle, came to Yuan Shao's side, and formed a square formation.

The seventeen riders of Yanyun, covered in blood, immediately straightened their clothes upon hearing the sound, wiped the blood off their scimitars with the soles of their boots, rested briefly, and prepared to charge!

To deal with infantry, use a kiting tactic, constantly pulling them back and forth at extreme speed, which will drive them crazy.

Just as the seventeen riders of Yanyun were preparing to attack Yuan Shao, the battle on Wang Fangyi's side was nearing its end.

The 900-strong Northern Army cavalry, under the relentless attacks of the 100-strong Imperial Guard Battalion, had been reduced to fragments.

By this point in the battle, half of the cavalry had been killed!

The Imperial Guard suffered fewer than ten casualties.

Such a terrifying casualty ratio greatly demoralized Chunyu Qiong, Zhao Rong, and Bao Xin, causing them to consider retreating!

What upset them even more was that the other party ran back to the hill once halfway through.

At first, we thought the enemy was running out of horsepower and we were preparing to launch a surprise attack. But the enemy changed horses on the hillside!

The Imperial Guards originally consisted of one person riding two horses. This greatly distressed Chunyu Qiong and the others.

Their warhorses were already in poor physical condition, and after a long march, the enemy changed horses so easily that Chunyu Qiong lost all will to fight and led his remaining 150 cavalrymen to retreat first.

Zhao Rong and Bao Xin also lost a hundred men, and both of them were injured to varying degrees.

Seeing Chunyu Qiong retreat, they followed suit.

Wang Fangyi seized the opportunity to pursue and kill Zhao Rong with a bow and arrow.

At this point, nine hundred cavalrymen, three captains, Chunyu Qiong and Bao Xin remained, and more than five hundred cavalrymen withdrew from the battlefield, only stopping after running a long distance.

Seeing that he had won, Wang Fangyi stopped pursuing and rushed to Liu Wei's side to cover for him!

Right now!

Yuan Shao was surrounded by three hundred elite troops, who observed the battlefield.

"Commander Zhao Rong was killed, and Commanders Chunyu Qiong and Bao Xin were defeated, suffering nearly half their losses!"

"Murong Ping defected to the enemy, and the entire army of one hundred Wuhuan cavalrymen was wiped out."

As battle reports continued to arrive, Yuan Shao's face grew increasingly grim.

He never expected that a thousand cavalrymen would be defeated by more than a hundred enemy cavalrymen, despite having ten times the strength.

He never expected that Murong Ping would betray him in the face of battle.

If word of this battle got out, Yuan Shao's reputation would be severely damaged, and everyone would think that he was incompetent in military strategy!
