Chapter 903 Battle of the Three Emperors (8)

Lintong County.

On the east bank of the Ba River, the Ganjun camp.

After Ma Shiying and Huang Degong crossed the Yellow River and Wei River and arrived at the Daying in Lintong, there were as many as 250,000 troops on the east bank of the Ba River.

At this time, the Ganjun camp spread for fifty or sixty miles on the east coast. Looking into the eyes, they were all white military tents, countless, and the scene was extremely spectacular.

In the camp, densely packed soldiers of the army walked through the camp, continuing to strengthen the fortifications on the east coast as usual.

At this time, in the middle of the camp, a group of soldiers gathered in a large tent covering an area of ​​three acres.

On the long table in the big tent were sesame cakes, steamed buns, cooked mutton, and a large pot of meat soup.

There was a bowl of mutton soup in front of Gao Huan's table. He had recently become angry and was tearing the steamed buns into the soup.

The generals were eating pancakes, steamed buns, and cooked mutton.

Gao Huan and the Tangxi Allied Forces have been in conflict for nearly two months, and the development of the war has made Gao Huan a little angry.

At this time, he tore the steamed buns and said in a deep voice: "Liu Wenxiu's offensive in Huguang is very fierce. Haoge and Hong Chengchou also led their troops to Chahar, threatening the land of Hebei. I originally wanted Yuan Zongdi to sneak attack Hanzhong and cut off Zhang Xianzhong's way back, but Zhang Xianzhong arranged heavy troops in Hanzhong, which made my plan fail."

Sun Chuanting took a sip of the broth, put the bowl down, and wiped his mouth, "Your Majesty! When Li Guo took down Lantian, he opened the passage to Wuguan, and welcomed the 50,000 troops led by Chen Yongfu into Guanzhong. I thought that Zhang Xianzhong could avoid the war, so we could also take the initiative to launch a decisive battle."

Gao Huan nodded when he heard the words and said with a smile: "Yes, if the army attacking Wuguan also enters Guanzhong, even if Zhang Xianzhong is unwilling to fight to the decisive battle, I will take the initiative to attack, defeat the Tangxi coalition forces, and seize the land of Guanzhong!"

Many generals of the army had almost finished their meals and couldn't help but agree.

With 300,000 vs. 300,000, the Gan Army has the advantage of equipment and will definitely be able to defeat the Tangxi Allied Forces.

"To be honest! I thought I could win easily this time in the attack on Guanzhong, but I didn't expect that Zhang Xianzhong and Li Jiyu would join forces to survive until now." Gao Huan laughed: "Li Jiyu is not simple. In more than ten years, Zhang Xianzhong was even more powerful and became the only person who can compete with me!"

Gao Huan was talking to the generals, and a burst of rapid footsteps came. The curtain was raised. Yang Yan walked into the tent, which attracted everyone's attention.

"What's the matter?" Gao Huan couldn't help but frown.

Yang Yan quickly saluted, "Your Majesty, Governor Li urgently reported that the enemy's main force is heading to Lantian and is besieging Governor Li's army!"

Gao Huan raised his eyebrows, and everyone was shocked.

At this time, Sun Chuanting hurriedly stepped forward, took the military newspaper, and submitted it to Gao Huan.

Zhang Xianzhong and Li Jiyu have been stationed on the west bank of the Ba River for nearly two months, and have been holding their troops without moving, waiting for the army to reveal their flaws. Now they can't calm down.

The soldiers and generals in the big tent put down their food and became serious.

Gao Huan took the letter and quickly glanced over it. When Li Guo was attacking Lantian County, he suddenly encountered a large number of enemy troops coming from the west. He was forced to give up attacking Lantian County, retreat to Gaopo Town, and wait for the army to rescue.

Gao Huan quickly finished reading the letter, then handed it to Sun Chuanting and others to circulate it, frowned and asked, "The main force of the enemy was moving towards Lantian County, why didn't the scout find it?"

Yang Yan lowered his head and said, "Report to Your Majesty, the two armies are separated by the Ba River, and the troops are very dense. The scouts cannot cross the river to explore, so they did not notice that the main force of the enemy has been transferred."

Hundreds of thousands of troops gathered on both sides of the Ba River. The people were indeed dense. If the scouts wanted to cross the river, they would probably have been waiting for the enemy to greet them as soon as they got ashore.

Gao Huan did not blame him when he heard the words. After two months of confrontation, the scout probably had a little relaxed.

"Have you sent a scout to cross the river to investigate?" Gao Huan asked in a deep voice.

Yang Yan quickly saluted, "I have arranged for the scout to cross the river, and it will not take long to bring back the news."

At this time, Sun Chuanting had already read the military newspaper, "Your Majesty, Zhang Xianzhong and Li Jiyu know that if we let the army attacking Wuguan also enter Guanzhong, they will lose their military strength. At that time, the troops, equipment, money and food are not as good as Your Majesty, and the enemy will definitely be defeated! Therefore, when Zhang Xianzhong and Li Ji meet His Majesty, they can't hold back their anger and want to fight to the decisive battle!"

Gao Huan pondered for a while, glanced at everyone, "Zhang Xianzhong and Li Jiyu moved the main force to Lantian. What do you think I should do?"

Sun Chuanting said: "Your Majesty, Zhang Xianzhong and Li Jihui bypassed the Ba River and moved their troops to Lantian to bypass the defense line we built along the river, rushed down with high ground, attacked us from the flanks, and wanted to fight us to a decisive battle with us. Now they surrounded Li Guo, hoping that we could leave Yingpan and fight with them."

"Your dear, do you think I should fight with him?" Gao Huan asked in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty, the troops in the country have been restrained by the Western Army and the Qing Army. We cannot transfer troops from Guandong to Guanzhong as we originally thought." Sun Chuanting saluted: "Now that Zhang Xianzhong and Li Jiyu surrounded Li Guo and wanted to fight us in a decisive battle, I think it's better to take this opportunity to end the battle in Guanzhong as soon as possible, so as not to have too many dreams at night."

After hearing this, Gao Huan paced back and forth in the tent, and after a while, he shouted loudly, "Lantian is less than a hundred miles away. Since Zhang Xianzhong wants to eat 20,000 of my troops under my nose, it is simply a delusion!"

Gao Huan paused and glanced at everyone, "I have more than 200,000 troops, and I am in the wilderness again. I want to see how Zhang Xianzhong and Li Jiyu fight against me in the field. If I pass the order, the Red Horse Army and the Dragon Knight will go first to reinforce Li Guo, and the main force will follow up and the troops will be launched in Lantian!"

...

The north of Lantian County is Gaopo Town.

As the name suggests, Gaopo Town is a town built on a high slope.

At this time, 20,000 Qian troops built fortifications around Gaopo Town and were resisting the attack of the coalition forces.

The sound of cannons rumbling in the wilderness, the sound of gunfire was dense, and the sound of killing was shocking. Tens of thousands of coalition forces were attacking the Qian army in Gaopo Town.

Under the coalition flag, Zhang Xianzhong and Li Jiyu stood on horseback, looking at Gaopo Town where they were fighting fiercely.

Li Jiyu suddenly asked, "Will Gao Huan come?"

Zhang Xianzhong looked north with his eyes, and seemed to be able to see the Qian army camp a hundred miles away. "Gao Huan will definitely come. If he doesn't come, I will eat the 20,000 Qian army from Gaopo Town first, and then take advantage of the situation to attack directly north and attack Gao Huan's camp."

As a person who has been in the world for many years, Zhang Xianzhong has made up his mind and exuded a heroic aura in his whole body.

When Li Jiyu heard the words, he was also excited. Thinking of his hatred with Gao Huan, he gritted his teeth and said, "Yes! There are only two consequences in this battle, either Gao Huan dies or I am defeated. I and Gao Huan are irreconcilable!"

As the two were talking, a team of scouts galloped over and dismounted, and reported anxiously, "Your Majesty the Cavalry, the large number of Qianjun cavalry came from Lintong!"
