As a transmigrator from the future, Liu Wei understood better than anyone the truth lies within the range of cannon fire.

And in this border region where foreign tribes are numerous.

Powerful bows and crossbows determine who will dominate the war.

Whether it was the Xianbei ambush troops that shot down Budugen at Hongtao Mountain, or the tidal wave attack of the Xiongnu that was blocked in the Qingshui River Valley.

The lack of a city wall made the Xiongnu cavalry's archery skills seem like children playing house.

The willow bow and iron-tipped arrows from the one-star equipment shop have demonstrated astonishing combat power.

It should be noted that in previous wars against the Xiongnu, the Han army was often able to win with fewer troops, thanks to long-range weapons like the Han crossbow.

With a good bow, one can take advantage of the range to launch an overwhelming attack.

Before they could even get close, they were covered in arrows, like a hedgehog.

On the vast grasslands, with no cover whatsoever, under the powerful bows and crossbows, the nomadic peoples of the grasslands could only endure being beaten!

This is also the most effective way to deal with steppe cavalry.

It's like how the modern Maxim machine gun made the horses on the grasslands sing and dance, occasionally showing off their driving skills!

Currently, the system shop has temporarily unlocked two-star equipment.

Liu Wei certainly couldn't yet come into contact with the heavy cavalry, the king of warfare in the era of cold weapons!

However, the Divine Arm Crossbow in the Two-Star Shop is the most suitable option at present.

The Shenbi crossbow was a top-tier military weapon of the Song Dynasty.

Its effective range reached an astonishing 250 paces, enough to pierce through the iron pagodas of the Jin dynasty.

However, the crossbow was designed for infantrymen and required the use of both hands and feet to draw it.

Liu Wei was already equipping Li Su's archery battalion with them!

The store also has crossbows suitable for cavalry to use on horseback!

The arm-stretched crossbow was essentially a close-range shooting weapon similar to the Zhuge Repeating Crossbow, much like a modern pistol.

With it, cavalry could strike their opponents more quickly and accurately over short and medium distances on horseback.

When fighting against the Xiongnu cavalry, they could gain a greater firepower advantage.

Liu Wei checked his points and found he had reached 1.37 million!

In these major battles, they captured no fewer than 30,000 to 40,000 fine horses from the Xiongnu.

This time, Xue Rengui's cavalry maneuvered deep into enemy territory, managing to ride two or even three horses at a time.

As long as he's willing to bring so many horses!

However, with only over ten thousand warhorses, an uninformed person might think they were going to graze livestock.

In addition, Liu Wei now has several major troops, including the Three Thousand Battalion, the Archer Battalion, the Spear Battalion, the Sword and Shield Battalion, the Xiongnu Battalion, and the Xianbei Battalion, totaling 18,000 men, and everyone is able to ride a warhorse!

This greatly improves maneuverability.

Therefore, Liu Wei does not need to use points to redeem horses.

Furthermore, once Yunzhong is captured, even more warhorses can be seized.

Even if they created an army of 100,000, they probably wouldn't have to worry about warhorses.

If needed, one can simply exchange for a higher-level warhorse from the higher-star armament shop.

For example, Ferghana horses, Akhal-Teke horses, and Yanqi horses are all excellent breeds.

Liu Wei began selecting military equipment from the store. After a while, the system's crisp and cheerful voice rang out continuously:

[Ding! Points have been used to redeem 4000 Black Gold Helmets]

[Ding! Points have been used to redeem 4000 sets of chainmail]

[Ding! Points have been used to redeem 4000 steel spears]

[Ding! Points used to redeem 4000 hand axes]

[Ding! Points have been used to redeem 4000 crossbows and 8000 quiver of arrows as a bonus]

[...]

[Ding! 1,090,000 points remaining]

Note: As the points data increases in the future, we will directly use tens of thousands as the unit. In the future, it is also possible to use hundreds of millions as the unit!

After spending 280,000 points, Xue Rengui's 4,000 cavalry battalion was fully upgraded.

These four thousand cavalrymen are the model for the White Robe Army!

"A thousand armies and ten thousand horses avoid the white-robed warrior!"

With the added 10% combat power boost from Xue Rengui, his combat strength is self-evident.

If you encounter the remnants of the Xiongnu in Yunzhong and Shuofang, you'll be lucky to escape with your life.

Let them hold the line at Manyi Valley, cutting off the lifeline, and we'll have an absolute guarantee of victory.

Naturally, the equipment previously used by the four thousand cavalrymen was also recovered.

Despite only getting a 30% discount on the buyback, I still gained over 40,000 points, bringing my total to 1.13 million points!

After the entire cavalry battalion was equipped with new gear, their military bearing was greatly improved.

The four thousand cavalrymen arranged in a 200x200 square formation did not seem very large.

But with four thousand men and nearly ten thousand warhorses, the scale suddenly became enormous.

From afar, it is magnificent and overwhelming!

The open space within a radius of two or three miles next to the Qingshui River valley was suddenly filled.

Xue Rengui was even more invigorated when he saw his cavalry.

He was not at all displeased that Liu Wei had changed him from the commander of the entire army to the commander of a single cavalry unit.

On the contrary, this invigorated him and filled him with fighting spirit!

Firstly, his pure cavalry force was a perfect fit for his fighting style!

Secondly, Liu Wei's decision to send him as a surprise force on a long-distance raid on Manyi Valley gave him considerable autonomy.

He decides everything: marching, fighting, attacking, retreating, and tactics!

As for trivial matters like massacring prisoners of war, there's no need to mention them; everything depends on his mood.

As long as the predetermined strategic objectives are achieved!

Moreover, Liu Wei has now completely replaced the equipment of his cavalry battalion.

Under Xue Rengui's leadership, this cavalry force will surely become the scourge of God for the Xiongnu people in the clouds!

At that time, the two Xiongnu armies, led by the Left Wise King Huchuquan and the Great Chief Huyanmaiqi, were soaring with ecstasy that they cried out in agony.
