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

Chapter 190 Yuan Tan's Determination, Yu Jin's Arrival!
The strategy used by Yuan Tan is actually a rough scheming, which is why it works.

To some extent, this is still due to the huge numerical gap between his headquarters and the surrendered army.

After hearing the news of the arrival of the reinforcements, the surrendered soldiers inevitably became irritable.

But there is still a big difference between being frizzy and provoking soldiers to make trouble and clamoring for mutiny in the army.

Not everyone has the guts to do such a thing.

So the restless soldiers, after hearing that Yu Jin was about to lead his troops to arrive, had grass in their hearts.

Subconsciously, they tend to gravitate towards whoever they think can lead them.

And Yuan Tansa's nails who entered the barracks carried the first mission.

That is to find out these prestigious soldiers among the surrendered troops and keep a close eye on them.

If trouble is easy to handle, these soldiers who have been targeted by Yuan Tan for a long time can directly order Gao Lan to lead the troops to capture and behead them.

However, even if some of these military leaders did not make trouble in the end, Yuan Tan did not plan to keep them in Xuzhou.

It is nothing more than the difference between driving them out of the barracks and beheading them for public display.

For the princes from all walks of life, among the soldiers, those who are courageous, insightful, and able to convince the crowd are all talents who can be promoted.

But Yuan Tan doesn't need it here.

Yuan Tan had already arranged the final outcome of these surrenders in his heart.

Choose the good ones, scour the bad ones, and add them to his headquarters.

The equipment of Yuan Tan's headquarters is excellent enough, so Yuan Tan does not have high requirements for the soldiers under his command.

This is not high, mainly in terms of independent thinking.

The princes of all walks of life need these soldiers in the army, at critical moments.

For example, during the battle, the military commander who was responsible for commanding the battle died.

And when the general in charge of the rear was too far away, he stood up and temporarily acted as a commander.

It won't be because of the defeat of a soldier or a soldier, there will be a ripple effect, and the entire battlefield will be brought down from point to point.

However, Yuan Tan didn't need such preparatory work.

He has always had only one rule of conduct for leading troops, if he can be reckless, he will be reckless, and if he can't be reckless, he will consider using tricks.

As for the use of tactics, with the gradual increase in the number of troops under Yuan Tan's command, it gradually became unnecessary, compared to the process of military struggle.

The soldiers under his command lacked control because the general died in battle, which led to collapse.

What Yuan Tan valued more was the obedience of the soldiers.

Soldiers without courage can also cultivate courage through the accumulation of victories.

But those who have prestige in the army, but they have not become the commander of the army and the like, put aside the external factors of cronyism.

I'm sure I have various personality flaws as well.

Such people tend to think more easily and think they have their own ideas.

When Yuan Tan led his troops into battle, what he needed was all the trust and follow of the soldiers.

And the existence of this kind of person will only affect the fighting will of the surrounding soldiers.

Therefore, Yuan Tan does not value these so-called soldiers.

"At that time, I will give an order and let them go."

Yuan Tan turned his gaze to the city of Xuzhou, looked at the smoke and dust that finally rolled up, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly:

"It's finally here, I've been waiting for you for a long time."

He previously asked his soldiers to spread the news in the surrender camp, in addition to checking the names of the soldiers in the surrender.

There is also a more important purpose, which is to let the surrendered soldiers have hope for the arrival of reinforcements.

The greater the hope, when Yuan Tan crushed the imperial army.

The shock to them will be even stronger!
At that time, they will be broken up and reorganized, and it will be easier to operate when they are returned to the headquarters!

"Open the city gate, Brother Gao."

Yuan Tan turned his head and kept staring at the list without saying a word, looking at the list for a while, and looking at the surrendered barracks for a while, the thoughtful Gao Lan ordered.

"Here!" Gao Lan responded reflexively, and then suddenly realized what Yuan Tan had just said.

Looking at Yuan Tan in shock:

"Is the major general going to lead troops out of the city to fight?"

He originally thought that Yuan Tan was going to use Xuzhou City's defenses to defend against Yu Jin's attack.

Anyway, Yu Jin only has [-] soldiers and horses, and it is impossible to attack the city. As long as he can repel one or two attacks, he should retreat in spite of difficulties.

But what is Yuan Tan's operation, leading troops out of the city?

"Major General, our headquarters are all infantry!"

Gao Lan couldn't help reminding.

However, Yuan Tan smiled calmly and said:

"Didn't Xuzhou's soldiers bring in [-] horses? This is [-] cavalry, no matter what, it's enough."

"This is different!"

Gao Lan almost yelled out what was in his heart.

It has been less than half a day since the army and horses of the headquarters captured Xuzhou, and even the few big families in Xuzhou City have not had time to clean up.

He was hastily recruited by Yuan Tan and transferred to the city wall to defend, and also to take care of the surrendered troops.

With their physical strength, it's okay to fight defensive battles on the city. If they lead troops into the battle, they can charge up to three times at most.

The soldiers' physical strength will not be able to keep up. By then, even if there are such powerful weapons as alloy swords.

Also unable to withstand the counterattack of the forbidden army!
You know, Yu Jin has not only cavalry under his command, but also infantry!
Once Yuan Tan is trapped in the formation, the soldiers who have been instigated by Yuan Tan's countermeasures at this moment will inevitably mutiny!
At that time, Gao Lan just wanted to suppress it, and the remaining two thousand soldiers and horses under the headquarters might not be able to suppress it!

Yuan Tan smiled slightly and said:

"Brother Gao, if I'm not going to go out to fight in the city, why bother to arouse the hopes of these soldiers?"

Gao Lan was at a loss for words for a while.

He couldn't say that he originally thought that Yuan Tan sent someone to spread the message to make these surrendered soldiers have unrealistic expectations about the ban.

For example, Yu Jin brought [-] troops to attack the city.

As a result, after seeing the situation in the Ministry of Forbidden City, he found that there were only [-] soldiers and horses, and it was impossible to conquer Xuzhou. Under disappointment, he would naturally become honest.

Seeing that Gao Lan was silent, Yuan Tan more or less guessed Gao Lan's thoughts, shook his head and said:

"Brother Gao's idea, I can probably think of it, but if you do this, will the Xuzhou Jiangjun really be convinced?"

Yuan Tan clenched his fist slightly, his voice turned serious and said:

"After taking Xuzhou, Cao Cao's supply line at the front line will be cut off by us. At that time, we will attack in one fell swoop, and maybe we will be able to complete all his achievements in one battle."

"Therefore, Xuzhou must be in our hands, and we must defend it. But if we want to defend Xuzhou, it is not enough to rely on our headquarters. We must recover these surrendered troops."

"While going out of the city to fight, defeat Yu Jin's reinforcements, and keep a distance from the city wall, so that the surrendered soldiers don't know the reality of Yu Jin, and mistakenly think that Yu Jin is a big soldier coming, but we are defeated by fewer and more, and they flee in a big defeat. That's not the case , is not enough to make these soldiers give up!"
