In 1653, the third year of Longwu, March.

The battle between the Gan, Tang and Western Kingdoms for Guanzhong kicked off the Weihe Plain.

After Gao Huan learned that Zhang Xianzhong and Li Jiyu had joined forces, he marched towards Chang'an and sent scouts to investigate the west.

Soon the scouts returned, Li Jiyu and Zhang Xianzhong led 270,000 coalition forces to set off from Chang'an and gather near the Ba River.

At this time, Gao Huan's forward had arrived in Lintong. The forwards of both sides were less than fifty miles apart and had reached the opponent's nose.

In this case, the two armies did not dare to act rashly. They both stabilized the army and sent scouts to engage in fierce cavalry and whistle battles to spy on the other side's reality.

At this time, Gao Huan led 200,000 troops, moving forward in a vast and slow manner.

The cavalry of the army galloped in front, and the horse's hooves fell like raindrops, making shocking sounds.

After the Gan Army advanced the front line to the front line of the Great Wall, they directly contacted Mongolia in the south of the desert.

Many of these Mongolian tribes are fence-bearing. Except for the fact that Korqin Mongolia is too deeply bound to the Qing court, the Mongolians of Chahar tribes are actually not very loyal to the Qing court.

After Ganchao closed his belly in Hebei, the Qing army retreated outside the pass, and his control over Chahar was weakened. In addition, the Qing Dynasty was difficult for him to subsidize Chahar Mongolia. The Chahar tribes did not dare to rob Ganchao, so they began to trade with Ganchao, exchanging cattle, sheep and horses for the living supplies they needed.

This gave Ganchao's war horses a larger source, and the scale of cavalry and dragoons continued to expand.

If the infantry expedition to Europe like Mongolia will be too slow and consume a lot, and it will be basically difficult to achieve, and cavalry will still be needed to achieve this.

There are as many as 150,000 cavalrymen in the court now, but most of them are dragon cavalry, but this is also shocking enough.

The cavalry of such a large scale is not only superior to the Qing army, but it is beyond doubt that it is the best in the pass.

At this time, Gao Huan was wearing golden armor, and his whole body was shining under the sunlight. The golden light flashed, so that the soldiers of the Gan Army could see that His Majesty was here at a glance.

Beside him, more than a hundred generals including Xu Heihu, Hao Yaoqi, Li Pingyuan, Gao Jie, Li Guo, Liu Zongmin, Zhou Fugui, etc. were all dressed neatly, with swords and spears, majestic.

The soldiers of the Gan Army knew very well that as the Gan Dynasty became stronger, the war in the world gradually came to an end.

If you don’t seize the opportunity and make some military achievements now, there will be few opportunities to make contributions in the future.

Therefore, this time Gao Huan went to the war, many generals submitted letters of request, and the generals selected to accompany the army were all full of energy.

Among them, Li Guo, Liu Zongmin and other Shunjuns were both seeking revenge on Li Jiyu in order to make contributions. As soon as they entered Tongguan, their eyes turned red.

After all, Li Jiyu did too much, not only took over the country of the old Li family, but also killed Li Zicheng, the Li clan relatives, and many Shunjun elderly people.

At this time, the 200,000 troops advanced against the Wei River, one by one, one military flag was flying in the wind, and the spears in the team were like forests, bayonets were rising and falling, and murderous intent was full of murderous aura.

Knowing that Tang and West were united, the Gan Army could not take advantage of the Tang and West fighting each other and gained a advantage, Gao Huan ordered the army to move slowly and maintain physical strength, so the Gan Army maintained its best appearance. The neatly armed soldiers were undulating, and there was no one in the team making noise. They slowly advanced westward, emitting a murderous aura that only elites could have.

As the army was moving forward, the cavalry who had been exploring the road from time to time conveyed news and reported to Gao Huan about the movements of the Tang and Western Union, and the distance between the two armies.

At this moment, the Tang and Western Union were also doing the same thing. The whistle cavalry jumped over the Ba River and ran east for thirty or forty miles, observing the advance of the Gan Army.

"Repay! Your Majesty! The army has passed Lintong, twenty miles away!"

On the west bank of the Ba River, there are all the camps of the coalition forces, and countless coalition soldiers walk through the camps.

Zhang Xianzhong and Li Jiyu stood on the west bank of the Ba River on horseback. Listening to the scout's report, he didn't say much, but just asked the scout to continue to investigate.

The Ba River originated in Lantian County and is a tributary of the Wei River. After the loss of Tongguan, Guanzhong had no danger to defend. The coalition forces could only deploy defenses on the Ba River to prevent the troops from approaching Chang'an.

"Report! Your Majesty! The army is ten miles away!"

The whistle cavalry rushed back from time to time to report the latest movements of Gan Jun. Zhang Xianzhong and Li Jiyu were among the generals behind him. When Gan Jun got closer, many people subconsciously clenched the hilt of the knife in their hands, and a nervous and solemn expression appeared on their faces.

At this time, Zhang Xianzhong picked up the thousand-mile mirror and observed the east bank of the Ba River. He could already see the flags of the army and the vast army in the distance.

Li Jiyu saw his scouts and cavalry fighting against the Ganjun whistle in the wilderness on the east bank. The cavalry on both sides fell off their horses from time to time amid the sound of "bang bang bang".

In the vast wilderness on the east coast, you can see scattered war horses and dead cavalry corpses everywhere.

"Your Majesty, the army has already arrived at the Ba River. Let the scout retreat to the west bank!" Li Jiyu reminded.

Zhang Xianzhong nodded slightly when he heard the words, Li Dingguo quickly waved his hand, and the sound of "dangdang" sounded from the west bank. The coalition scouts who were fighting with the army pulled out their horses and retreated to the west bank through the floating bridge.

At this time, Gao Huan was leading the army forward, and the scouts rushed over, "Report to Your Majesty, Zhang Xianzhong and Li Jiyu were camping on the west bank of the Ba River, and all the enemy scouts retreated to the west bank!"

Gao Huan waved his hand when he heard the words, "I ordered the army to be the underground camp, and all the generals followed me to observe the enemy's formation!"

With Gao Huan's order, the army gradually stopped, while he led nearly a thousand cavalry to continue moving forward and to observe the enemy's formation on the shore of the Ba River.

At this time, Gao Huan and others stood on the shore, looking at the west bank of the Ba River, and saw an endless tent.

Although I don’t know how many soldiers there are in the camp, I guess it will probably not be less than those in the army.

"Your Majesty! The enemy is on guard against the West Bank, and our mortars and flowering bullets will be difficult to achieve their effect!" Sun Chuanting glanced at the coalition camp and said in a deep voice.

Although Ganjun's artillery and flowering bullets were sharp, they were no longer new things. They have been in the public for four or five years. The Western, Tang and Qing dynasties have imitated them, but the effect and equipment scale are not as good as Ganjun.

After all, a cannon is fired and a cannon is not something that can be played by poor countries.

However, although they did not do so many artillery and flowering bullets, they also gained experience in being beaten and had some ways to prevent military artillery and restrict the use of military artillery.

This is a way to use river barriers to prevent the army from getting close to erecting mortars and then abandoning the river beach.

Gao Huan glanced at the camp on the other side, but smiled and said, "Sun Qing, don't worry, Tongguan is in my hands, and my army and materials can be transported into Guanzhong continuously. The Tang Kingdom is poor, and the Western Kingdom needs to transport money, grain and weapons from Sichuan. The supply is far less convenient than me. They should be anxious!"

While Gao Huan was peeking at the coalition camp, Zhang Xianzhong and Li Ji met the Gan army camping on the east bank. Zhang Xianzhong then pulled the reins and said, "Go back and discuss strategies to defeat the enemy!"
