The northeast area of Weiyang Palace, which was once the residence of the crown prince Liu Ju, has now become the residence of the emperor's eldest grandson, Liu Jin. Living in the former palace of the crown prince as the eldest grandson of the emperor, Liu Jin's weight in the heart of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is naturally self-evident.

When the prince and others in Bowang Yuan were discussing the matter of Gongsun Jingsheng, Liu Jin and Liu Xijun were also talking about this matter in the palace.

Liu Jin is already fifteen years old, and he has long since faded away from immaturity and has become a heroic young man. And Liu Xijun has turned seventeen years old this year, and she has already been slim, plus she has been pampered in recent years, and she has become a rare beauty in the world.

"Sister, I heard that my prince's father recruited the prime minister to Bowangyuan?" Liu Jin sat behind the desk and asked Liu Xijun, who was only five feet away.

Liu Xijun has been accompanying Liu Jin in the past few years, and the relationship between the two sisters and brothers is a bit like Liu Yuan and Liu Che back then. And in private, Liu Jin has already directly called Liu Xijun his sister.

"It's not for that Gongsun Jingsheng! This Gongsun Jingsheng is really not enough to succeed, and there are more than failures. Liu Xijun is also very fond of this younger brother who may become the prince of the Han Dynasty in the future, and almost all the big and small affairs around Liu Jin are taken care of by this Jiangdu princess.

"In my opinion, it will be a scourge for this Gongsun Jingsheng to keep it sooner or later, but he is the son of the prime minister after all, the son of the eldest sister of the Wei family. My father, the crown prince, may not be able to stay out of the matter this time. Liu Jin didn't have a good impression of Gongsun Jingsheng, and even hated it in his heart.

"For some reason, I always feel that this time things will not be easy, but unfortunately we don't have anyone around us to talk to now. Yin Hua went to Hexi, and even Liu Kang and the others left. Liu Xijun frowned slightly and said, for some reason, when she thought that the prince and Gongsun He were going to run for Gongsun Jingsheng, her heart was inexplicably flustered.

"I really envy Yinhua, you can follow the teacher, if the teacher is still in Chang'an!" When Liu Jin heard his sister talk about those classmates who were too learned, he couldn't help but think of Huo Guang again.

It is worth mentioning that the round Liu Kang didn't know what luck he had, his eldest brother, the prince of Zichuan who was originally going to make Zhao Yinhua a concubine, died inexplicably a year ago. In the end, his father chose to choose Liu Kang somehow, and finally Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty set up Liu Kang as the crown prince of Zichuan, and now Liu Kang has returned to Zichuan to be his crown prince.

"The teacher has not been easy in Hexi recently, I heard that Wu Anjun's army was blocked in Dawan, and the teacher has decided to visit Dawan in person, and now it is estimated that he is already on the way to Dawan." When Liu Xijun thought of Huo Guang, his face also showed reverence, and then he told Liu Jin about Huo Guang's recent situation.

"Sister is going to the Hou Mansion again?" Liu Jin looked at his sister and asked with interest.

"If I don't go, how many people in Chang'an City do you think will know the teacher's whereabouts?" Liu Xijun glanced at Liu Jin, she knew that she was the younger brother of the emperor's eldest grandson, and she was most concerned about Huo Guang's situation, but now only Huo Tang in Chang'an City could learn some information, and the door of the Marquis of Anyang was now becoming more and more difficult to enter, and only she Liu Xijun could barely see Huo Tang.

"Hehe, hard work for my good sister! Tell me about the war in the Western Regions, last time I heard the emperor's grandfather mention it, saying that the teacher has formed an alliance with that Sulla? Liu Jin smiled embarrassedly, and then continued to ask with a curious expression. When it came to the affairs of the Western Regions, the displeasure caused by Gongsun Jingsheng's affairs before also disappeared.

Liu Xijun began to tell Liu Yu the news she learned from Huo Tang, but every time Huo Tang only mentioned some words to her, some of the content was not exhaustive, but it was the tip of these icebergs that Liu Jin's heart had already flown to the vast world where various civilizations and beliefs collided.

Huo Guang took 10,000 of the most elite Hexi troops out of Yumen Pass, passed through Yancheng and passed through Wusun's hometown, and came to the forefront of today's Bai Zheng's department, a city called Yucheng.

Yu Cheng was originally an important town in the east of Dawan Kingdom, but it was broken by Bai Zheng a few months ago, and Bai Zheng had already come to Guishan City, the capital of Dawan Kingdom, but this Guishan City was built extremely large and strong, and even had several layers of outer city and inner city. It was only a matter of time before Bai Zheng besieged Guishan and captured it, but not long ago, a resting ironclad cavalry unit suddenly appeared, and Bai Zheng fought with it outside Guishan City, and at that time it was the Wusun cavalry under the command of Xutuo Mi who was fighting with this ironclad cavalry, but the Wusun cavalry was crushed at the touch of a button, and it was not the opponent of this ironclad cavalry at all. In the end, Bai Zheng broke off with 10,000 elite Hexi cavalry, and then retreated to Yucheng with a large army.

And in this hurried battle, the coalition army commanded by Bai Zheng lost more than 6,000 people, of which 2,000 were the elite Hexi army. Then Bai Zheng retreated to Yu Cheng, and went out of the city to fight with the rest of the ironclad cavalry several times, but each time he returned with a feather, and now his tens of thousands of coalition troops can only be trapped to defend Yu Cheng.

When Huo Guang came to Yu Cheng, it had become that the coalition forces of Anxi and Dawan were besieging Yu Cheng, and Bai Zheng's coalition army of the Western Regions had become the side that held the city. The situation reversed so quickly that even Huo Guang, who saw all this in front of him, was unexpected!

At the head of Yu Chengcheng, Huo Guang stared at a row of cavalry covered in iron armor outside the city. These cavalry are the rest of the ironclad cavalry, there are not many ironclad cavalry in this row, it seems that there are only about three hundred people, but Huo Guang knows that these three hundred ironclad cavalry actually represent three hundred resting nobles with fiefdoms. Behind them were thousands of lightly armored archers, and behind them were ordinary resting foot soldiers of 10,000 people.

It was an army of about 12,000 people composed of more than 300 nobles, and on the other side of them was an army of more than 40,000 people.

"The subordinates are incompetent, please punish most of them!" Bai Zheng knelt down in front of Huo Guang, this time he was the commander of the attack on Dawan, but not only did he not defeat Dawan, but he was also repelled to Yu Cheng's defense, judging from the results, Bai Zheng's mission was a failure.

"Are you incompetent, Pontus has his own decision, get up and tell me what the situation is?" Huo Guang's face was very calm, and he didn't reprimand Bai Zheng, now the best person who knows about the rest of the ironclad cavalry should be Bai Zheng, even if Huo Guang wants to punish Bai Zheng, he needs to understand the situation clearly.

Bai Zheng stood up with a depressed face, he is a proud person, in addition to being defeated by Huo Guang in this life, he feels that no one in the world is his opponent, although he is a little arrogant, Bai Zheng does have strength. This time, being defeated by only a few hundred resting ironclad cavalry was also a big blow to Bai Zheng.

"Back to the Grand Duke, these ironclad cavalry are huge, once they charge in formation, neither our cavalry nor infantry can compete with them, and their ironclad is too strong, our weapons can't cause effective damage to them at all." Bai Zheng lowered his head and told some of the discoveries he had made in the battle with the Rest Ironclad Cavalry these days.

"Just these few hundred ironclad cavalry will make your tens of thousands of troops helpless?" Huo Guang frowned slightly, and his eyes were still looking at the rest army and the Dawan army outside the city. He believed Bai Zheng's words, but it was impossible to defeat Bai Zheng's tens of thousands of troops with these hundreds of ironclad cavalry, if it was really so powerful, the tens of thousands of ironclad cavalry would really dominate the world long ago.

"They mainly relied on these ironclad cavalry in the frontal charge, and after a round of charge, they would turn back and distance themselves from our army, and then continue to prepare for the next round of charge, and their subordinates also took advantage of their return to order the army to attack, trying to stick to them and not give them time to prepare. However, the archers who guarded the ironclad cavalry came in handy at this time, they could shoot bows and arrows from their horses when they turned back and retreated, and the bows and arrows they used were much more powerful than ours, and thousands of arrows were fired in dense volleys, and it was difficult for our troops to get close to them. Moreover, these archers can shoot arrows constantly during the process of returning, which we call 'return arrows'. This is a bow we have captured, and I invite you to take a look at it. Bai Zheng continued to explain, it turned out that those ironclad cavalry were only used to storm the line, and their fighting method was also very simple and direct, using the thickness of the ironclad cavalry to force the enemy line, and when the ironclad cavalry weakened the impact immediately, they immediately retreated to open the distance, preparing for the next round of charge, and when they turned back, those archers came into use. If the archers could not be suppressed, the tens of thousands of infantry archers in the rear could also stop the enemy's attack with a rain of arrows.

This is a set of tactics that the Rest Empire has deduced and fought countless times, and it is with this set of rigorous and invulnerable tactics that they have become the overlord of West Asia.

Huo Guang took the bow handed by the soldiers, and the appearance was not much different from the bow of the Han Dynasty, but after careful observation, Huo Guang found that the bow body of these bows used by the resting people was not a single piece of wood, but a bow body made of layers of thin sheets. Huo Guang opened his arms and pulled the rest bow, he found that this kind of bow did not require brute force like the strong bow of the big man, it was a very comfortable and smooth feeling. Just pulling the bowstring in the air, Huo Guang has already discovered that the bow of rest is indeed much more advanced than the bow of the Great Han.

"It is indeed a good bow, Li Ling ....." Huo Guang handed the rest bow in his hand to the guards beside him, and then shouted Li Ling's name.

"The subordinates are here." Li Ling hugged his fists and responded.

"Go, let Pontus see how these Sabbaths fight..... It's best to leave an ironclad cavalry behind and get it back for us to study. Huo Guang pointed to the rest of the ironclad cavalry under the city and said.

"No." Li Ling didn't say anything, just answered and turned around and went down the tower.

Soon the war drums sounded, Yu Cheng's city gate drawbridge was lowered, Li Ling took the lead, and the five thousand cavalry behind him followed, and after a dozen breaths, the five thousand cavalry lined up a charging formation outside the city.
