Three Kingdoms: Stealing the Tiger Talisman and forcing Yuan Shao to become a monk

Chapter 180: Night attack on Xuzhou, one man is in charge!
"The major general's strategy is really extraordinary, and it immediately boosted the morale of the brothers!"

In Yuan Tan's Chinese army tent, Gao Lan said with admiration.

Who wouldn't be tempted by the yellow-orange-orange gold?
But when I think about the next big battle, and now everyone is in the heart of the enemy.

Even if you get the bounty, you can't spend it.

It's better to save it, maybe after the big formation, I can get one or two more levels of credit.

At that time, even if you exchange money, you can exchange more, and maybe you can get a promotion!
Therefore, none of the more than 4000 people chose to exchange money, all of which are credited!

However, the morale of the headquarters, which had been a little bit down because of the mountains and mountains, was boosted by Yuan Tan's performance rewards and contributions!

And from the beginning to the end, Yuan Tan actually didn't pay anything substantial!

In Gao Lan's eyes, this was far more brilliant than giving out large sums of rewards to the soldiers before going into battle!
In many cases, it is effective to issue heavy rewards before the battle, but sometimes it can also be counterproductive.

The soldiers who received the bounty, not only did not boost their morale, but felt that they already had money in their hands, and they didn't want to contribute to the battle.

He also wanted to save his life and spend the money after the war.

What's even more outrageous is that after the front leg received the reward, the hind leg fled the military camp with its own equipment and weapons.

These situations seem rather strange, but in fact, they are not uncommon in this ancient army.

But Yuan Tan's military merit pension system gave them a real hope and goal!
Why was the Qin Dynasty able to dominate the world back then!

It is because of the first-level merit system of the Qin Dynasty!
Let the soldiers rejoice when they hear the battle!

Right now, although Yuan Tan's military merit pension system is somewhat different from the Qin Dynasty's system, the effect is indeed very similar!
Hearing Gao Lan's flattery, Yuan Tan waved his hand with a smile, then turned serious and said:

"I don't need to talk about these flattery, Brother Gao. The most urgent task right now is to find a way to conquer Xuzhou!"

Yuan Tan said, unfolding the defense map in his hand, pointing to a huge red circle on the map, and said in a deep voice:
"This place is Xuzhou. It is less than a hundred miles away from where we are. I plan to take advantage of the darkness, while the morale of the soldiers is mobilized, to surprise Xuzhou!"

Hearing Yuan Tan's strategy, Gao Lan nodded first, but then he thought of something again, and said with some embarrassment:
"Major General, we are going deep into Xuzhou City right now. The opponent must have no defenses, but we don't have enough troops. If we attack by force, I'm afraid that once the Xuzhou defenders react, we may not be able to hold on."

After listening to Gao Lan's analysis, Yuan Tan was not angry, but nodded in approval.

Gao Lan's words are all true, but now that he has come to this point, he has even prepared the climbing suit and the mountain trail in advance.

Naturally, he would not be without the preparations required for a surprise attack.

Immediately, Yuan Tan said to the guards outside the camp:
"Come here, go and fetch Yuan Lang."

The guard nodded hurriedly and left in a hurry. After a while, he followed Yuan Tan to attack and became a general under Yuan Tan's tent. Yuan Lang, who had rejoined the battle, walked into the tent.

Seeing Yuan Lang coming in, Gao Lan reacted immediately, looking at Yuan Tan with surprise and admiration in his eyes!

Gao Lanchong cupped his fists with Yuan Tan and said:

"The major general is indeed well prepared. It seems that the general is overthinking."

Gao Lan said so, naturally because of the armor Yuan Lang was wearing!

But it is not the equipment of the Yuan family's army, but the Cao Ying armor that was taken from the dead and wounded soldiers of the Cao army when Cao Cao besieged Yanzhou before!
Yuan Tan tapped his fingers and said lightly:

"However, I don't prepare many armors like this, only Yuan Lang's song. After all, we have to climb mountains when we come here, and we can't carry too many things. Therefore, General Gao Lan needs to contribute."

Yuan Tan's gaze swept away from Yuan Lang, and then fell on Gao Lan again.

"General Gao Lan, please take Yuan Lang's unit, pretend to be Cao Cao's defeated army, and find a way to deceive Xuzhou City Gate."

Yuan Tan stood up slowly, walked out of the central military tent, looked outside the horizon, and could vaguely see the outline of Xuzhou City, and smiled coldly:
"And I will lead the soldiers and horses to create a commotion ten miles behind you. I will try my best to make it more realistic, and once I trick the city gate."

Yuan Tan waved his arm forcefully:
"Just ask General Gao Lan to hold on, and hold on for a while, until we rush to the city to support!"

After hearing Yuan Tan's plan, Gao Lan was also excited.

Once this strategy can be implemented smoothly.

It is very likely that Xuzhou City will really be captured by their Qingqi who are already less than [-]!
By then, his Gao Lan's name will be spread all over the world, just like the previous battle in Wuxiang.

Huang Zhong and Ma Chao, who followed Yuan Tan in the battle, were famous all over the world in the First World War!

Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Gao Lan cupped his fists and bowed to Yuan Tan, and then hurried down to make arrangements.

……

Xuzhou City Wall.

A Cao Jun soldier who was looking into the distance from the tower suddenly heard a grunt in his stomach.

The soldier rubbed his stomach a little depressed, and couldn't help cursing in a low voice.

"Damn it, we don't even have enough food to eat, the porridge is as thin as water, and we still have to defend the city!"

A soldier next to him gave a wry smile, his stomach was empty at the moment, he shook his head and said:

"Okay, don't complain, we have at least one dry meal at noon, and those brothers in the camp can't even eat dry food!"

Hearing what the companion beside him said, although the soldier was still depressed, he also knew that complaining was useless, so he could only sigh heavily.

Turning his gaze to the east of the city, he looked there expectantly and said in a low voice:
"I heard that General Yu Jin is going out of the city to deal with those big men in the country. Maybe he can bring back a lot of military food. I don't know if we can share some at that time."

Just as he was thinking about it, a corporal happened to pass by, but he heard the conversation between the two, and immediately scolded:
"Standing guard is not for you two to chat! Be quiet!"

The two of them immediately kept silent and did not dare to speak. After the corporal leader walked away, another soldier whispered:

"What are you dreaming about? Didn't you hear that the prime minister is also rushing for food. The food brought back by General Yu Jin must be sent to the front line. Let's guard the city behind, don't even think about it!"

Hearing what his companion said, the soldier suddenly became depressed and stopped talking.

At this moment, the soldier who had just spoken was shocked, hurriedly patted him on the shoulder, pointed not far below Xuzhou City, and shouted in a low voice:
"Look, is there anything moving there?"

The soldier who was lowering his head in depression suddenly raised his head and looked in the direction his companion was pointing at, but saw a soldier and horse in a state of embarrassment retreating towards Xuzhou City amidst the sound of running for his life!

"What's going on? What's going on?"

The two soldiers panicked at the time, and hurriedly shouted:
"Who are you!"

Not only these two people, but also the guards on the city wall noticed the defeated army, and they had already guessed seven or eight points in their hearts.

Even Xuzhou City knew about the shortage of food on the front line.

This unit probably didn't retreat from the front line.

Sure enough, the troop stopped immediately after hearing the question on the city wall, and a man who looked like a general walked out of the soldiers in embarrassment, pointed at the city wall and cursed:

"Are you blind? Didn't you see our armor? The front line has been defeated! We are General Xiahou Dun's subordinates. The front line is short of food. Hebei Yuan Tan raided our army's camp. It’s all broken, there are still pursuers behind us, don’t dawdle, let us enter the city quickly!”

The guards on the city wall looked at each other, and no one could be sure whether the news was true or false.

A song general stood up from the city wall: "You wait, wait until we report to General Che Zhou!"

Hearing General Na Qu's words, the unknown general below was immediately annoyed:
"The chasing soldiers are approaching, when will you inform us! We are only left and right, let us enter the city first!"

The next moment, it seemed to be to confirm the words of the general.

Thirty miles away from Xuzhou City, suddenly a torch lit up, and accompanied by a faint cry of death, it was moving rapidly in the direction of Xuzhou City!
"Did you hear that! Let's go into the city! It's really not possible, it's the same as we wait in the outer city first!"

Seeing this, the famous song general immediately lost most of his doubts, and hurriedly ordered:
"Okay! Since that's the case, let's open the gate of the outer city for you first, and you come in first!"

As he spoke, the city gate opened and closed, and the remnant soldier rushed in quickly, as if he was really fleeing.

The famous song general was still a little worried, hurried down the city, and stopped in front of the defeated soldiers:

"What about the brother who spoke just now, why do I look a little bit..."

puff!
The sound of a spear piercing through the body came!

Gao Lan, who had answered before, had a sneer on his face, and with a flick of the silver gun in his hand, he directly stabbed the famous song general to death under the gun!

"Seize the city!!!"
