Chapter 1009 Shrinking Turtle

The Xiangjiang Riverside, rolling yellow dust is stirred up.

At this time, a team of cavalry without a banner ran to the shore.

Gao Huan pulled out the thousand-mile mirror and observed the other side. He saw yellow dust rolling, and a large group of Western cavalry appeared on the west bank of the Xiangjiang River.

When Gao Huan learned that Zhang Xianzhong led his troops south, he immediately decided to leave the camp and peeked in person.

Yuan Zongdi, who was holding a thousand-mile mirror, also watched, and said, "Your Majesty, you arrived at the Western Army cavalry this morning. Zhang Xianzhong led the main force and set off from Yiyang and will arrive in Changsha within two or three days."

While listening to the report, Gao Huan observed with a thousand-mile mirror. The cavalry of the Western Army was galloping on the official road on the west bank of the Xiangjiang River, and the yellow dust rolled. The path was full of marching infantry, vast and endless.

There were originally 100,000 Western troops and 60,000 chieftain soldiers around Changsha. Now Zhang Xianzhong brought another 250,000 Western troops, but Gao Huan only had 200,000 troops in Changsha.

In terms of force comparison, the Western Army is twice that of the military, but the quality is incomparable.

Not to mention the tens of thousands of chieftain soldiers who joined the fun, even the Western Army was half of them new recruits.

At this time, looking at the Western Army marching across the west bank, Gao Huan couldn't help but sigh: "There are so many people!"

Yuan Zongdi continued: "Li Dingguo has built three floating bridges on the Xiangjiang River. After Zhang Xianzhong arrived in Changsha, he would definitely cross the river from the floating bridge and fight us."

Gao Huan sneered and said, "If he wants to fight, will I fight?"

Gao Huan smiled and pulled out the reins of the horse, "Go! Go back and strengthen the camp."

After speaking, Gao Huan grabbed the horse's belly and led the cavalry back to the camp, and ordered each battalion to hang a war-free sign, and no one was allowed to fight.

Three days later, Zhang Xianzhong led a large army to the western suburbs of Changsha, and met with Li Dingguo at the foot of Yuelu Mountain.

At this time, Zhang Xianzhong learned about Gao Huan's situation from Li Dingguo and learned that Gao Huan had set up a camp in the northern suburbs of Changsha, and did not enter the city or take the initiative to fight with the Western Army.

Li Dingguodao: "Your Majesty, Gao Huan is not entering the city, because he is hanging us, worried that we will leave Changsha and attack everywhere. After all, the army of 400,000 or 500,000 troops will be dispersed and harvested, which will cause huge losses to the country. But he insists on the camp and does not fight, because he wants to spend time and wait for our food to be exhausted!"

Zhang Xianzhong had a dark face, leaving only 20,000 people to defend in Jingzhou. He was desperate and had no way to go.

In this battle, either he was defeated by Gao Huan or Zhang Xianzhong died, and there was no third way to go.

Now Zhang Xianzhong can't afford to delay, he doesn't have that much time.

"Let's go and see Gao Huan's camp!" Zhang Xianzhong stood up and walked out. Li Dingguo had no choice but to take his helmet and hurriedly followed.

At this time, Zhang Xianzhong hurriedly crossed the Xiangjiang River, then led Li Dingguo and others to bypass Changsha and to the east of the Ganjun camp.

Zhang Xianzhong stationed his horse on the hill and observed the Ganjun camp. He saw that the gates were closed.

Because they came early, Ganjun built a solid camp, the wooden fence turned into earthen walls, and there were trenches and barbed wire fences that had appeared on the Liaodong battlefield.

Zhang Xianzhong's expression was gloomy. He recognized Li Dingguo's analysis. Gao Huan was indeed hanging him, but refused to fight to the decisive battle.

The military rations of the Western Army have reached the bottom, and Zhang Xianzhong can't afford to delay them. He can only attack one disciple and force Gao Huan to force him.

The situation on the battlefield is so wonderful.

Originally, Gao Huan destroyed the West and wanted to attack the army. The one who suffered heavy losses should have been the army. However, after Gao Huan took the initiative to fight, he forced Zhang Xianzhong to take the initiative to fight, and the Western Army became the side to attack.

The Western Army had insufficient food and salary, so Zhang Xianzhong could only be led by Gao Huan to attack Gao Huan's camp.

Zhang Xianzhong exclaimed his cheeks. He understood Gao Huan's plan, but these were all open plots. Even if he knew it, Zhang Xianzhong had no choice. Only by defeating Gao Huan quickly and winning the battle in Huguang could the Western Kingdom turn danger into safety.

At this time, Zhang Xianzhong observed for a while, then he pulled the reins with a dark face and said, "Go back to the camp!"

On October 8, as many as 410,000 Western troops gathered near Changsha.

Zhang Xianzhong left only a few thousand people to guard Yuelu Mountain and the floating bridge, and nearly 400,000 people were put into the battlefield, all crossing the Xiangjiang River, and moving to the northeastern suburbs of Changsha.

Early this morning, after the Western Army set up a simple camp, Zhang Xianzhong led nearly 300,000 troops to the Ganjun camp.

Three hundred thousand Western troops crossed the Laodao River and the army was in the Masai Road. They really threw whips and broke the current. The scouts of the Gan Army discovered the movements of the Western Army and the Pegasus entered the camp to report.

Gao Huan received the report and immediately put on a neat dress, climbed up to the earth wall, and observed the movements of the Western Army.

The weather is clear on this day, the warm sun is high, the sky is cloudless, and the vision is excellent.

Gao Huan, Yuan Zongdi and other generals looked at the wilderness, and the crowds of people rushed over like a flood. The dense crowd made people feel a huge sense of oppression!

"The enemy is nearly five miles away!" The soldiers looking up at the tower shouted loudly.

Gao Huan glanced at the eyes and saw the Western Army coming from the field. The cavalry in front ran, the guns were like forests and the flags were like clouds. He couldn't help but sigh: "Zhang Xianzhong came from the country, he was going to fight with me!"

Yuan Zongdi smiled and said, "I just got out of the camp and didn't take a breath. It seems that Zhang Xianzhong is really anxious!"

"Hahaha..." Gao Huan looked at the Western Army that was as if black clouds were overthrowing the city, and was not panicked at all, but said in surprise: "The more anxious Zhang Xianzhong is, the faster I will win!"

After speaking, Gao Huan said loudly: "If you send the order, each army will only guard the camps. Without my will, no one is allowed to fight!"

Knowing that Zhang Xianzhong was in a hurry to have food and grass, it would not last long, so Gao Huan naturally didn't need to rush to fight the final battle.

After the military order was conveyed, the soldiers in the various battalions of the Gan Army immediately ran out of the camp and organized defense lines behind the village wall.

At this time, the Gan Army had already set up muskets and artillery on the earth wall, and the Western Army was getting closer and closer, and finally stopped three miles from the Gan Army camp.

Zhang Xianzhong led the cavalry and ran out of the formation, looking into the camp that Gao Huan had set up, which was no different from the observation a few days ago.

Looking at the Ganjun camp that stretched for more than ten miles and the soldiers who were full of Ganjun soldiers standing on the earthen walls, Zhang Xianzhong breathed out and ran back to the formation.

"Your Majesty, what should I do?" Liu Wenxiu asked.

Zhang Xianzhong said in hatred: "Attacking a village is easier than siege. Let someone go and provoke it first to see if Gao Huan is willing to fight. If he dares to fight, then I will fight against him. If he wants to be a turtle, then let the army attack him!"

Gao Huan stood on the earth wall and saw a team of Western cavalry galloping out of the battle and coming.

While running, these cavalrymen shouted to the camp: "The Emperor of Daxi is here, can you dare to fight for the fighters!"

The Western cavalry ran back and forth, and the horse's hooves trampled on the ground, raising waves of yellow dust. They shouted for a while, but when they saw that the camp was not responding, they changed their words, "The Emperor of the Great Western Region is here, Gao Huan's son will not come out to die!"

The Western Army cursed and provoked, and the Gan Army was indignant, but the armies had already received orders and were not allowed to attack without authorization.

At this time, the Western Army cursed more and more, and began to greet Gao Huan's family and insult Ganjun, but Ganjun still had his camp closed.

Seeing that the insults were ineffective, the Western Army rode their horses to the cavalry and provoked them. But immediately, there were attacks with hundreds of cannons and thousands of guns. The Western Army fell down one after another. Mu Tianbo could only pull out his horse's head and retreat in a hurry on the horse.

Zhang Xianzhong's face was ashen when he saw this scene, his face turned pale, and many Western generals looked bad.

Mu Tianbo came back from running, turned over and dismounted, and reported on one knee, "Your Majesty, Gao Ni is determined to be a turtle with his head and does not plan to fight!"

Zhang Xianzhong snorted coldly with a dark face. He turned around and looked at the army behind him and shouted: "I have a million soldiers. Even if he doesn't go to fight, I can still level his camp!"
