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

Chapter 219 Yu Jin's plan is self-defeating!
According to the military newspaper, after arriving in Xiapi, Yu Jin first consolidated the city defense.

Then he took his soldiers and horses directly out of the city to the nobles around Xiapi to collect food and grass.

Currently, there are less than 8000 defenders in Xiapi City.

……

At this moment, outside Xiapi City, Yu Jin led [-] infantrymen and [-] cavalry, cruising near the water gate of Xiapi City, scanning the terrain in this area with a pair of sharp eyes.

"It's here!"

Yu Jin's gaze finally settled on a dense forest ten miles east of the water gate, and he nodded in satisfaction.

This dense forest is very vast, enough to cover the soldiers under his command.

There is still a plain in front of the dense forest, which is convenient for his cavalry to charge.

Gritting his teeth, Yu Jin turned his gaze back to the direction of Xuzhou City: "Yuan Tan and Yuan Xiansi, you must come!"

Yu Jin's idea is simple.

Although Yuan Tan's surprise attack on Xuzhou was effective, it also allowed Yu Jin to grasp Yuan Tan's character to a certain extent.

At least, from Yu Jin's point of view, Yuan Tan is a reckless general, similar to Lu Bu Lu Fengxian in the past.

Even the level of martial arts between the two is very similar.

That's why Yu Jin came up with such a plan.

Before you, Yuan Tan, came to attack Xuzhou, didn't you just see my defense in Xuzhou was empty?

So Yu Jin simply took Xiapi as bait.

Follow the example of the battle of Xuzhou, but this time, he will not respond to the enemy hastily like the last time in Xuzhou!

As long as Yuan Tan dares to lead troops to attack Xiapi, the wilderness in front of the water gate of Xiapi will be the place where he will be buried!
Seeing the fierce light flashing in Yu Jin's eyes, the guards behind him wanted to persuade the general not to take risks, but they swallowed the words again.

After all, these Caoying cavalry have followed Yu Jin for a long time, and they all know Yu Jin's abilities.

Among the many leading generals in Cao Ying, Yu Jinshuo may not be enough to be ranked in the top three, but it is more than enough to be ranked in the top five.

It can be said that they have no doubts about Yu Jin's strength.

Moreover, not only Yu Jin was holding back his anger, but their three thousand cavalry were also full of anger.

Cao Cao is different from Yuan Shao in that he has secluded land for raising horses. As Yongzhou was also captured, Cao Cao's land for raising horses was completely lost.

This directly led to the increasing importance of the cavalry under Cao Cao's account, and even the status of the cavalry rose.

And these cavalry who have been fighting under Cao Cao's tent since the early years, have survived the test of the battlefield and can still survive to the current cavalry of Cao Ying.

It is the elite among the elite, and Cao Ying's infantry are usually the type with their nostrils raised to the sky.

As a result, when they arrived in Xuzhou, after meeting Yuan Tan, the battle of Xuzhou was fought from beginning to end without even a single confrontation.

The whole time they were patronizing and fleeing for their lives.

So this time when Yu Jin put forward his strategy, although many generals in the army felt that this strategy was a bit sloppy.

But no one really raised objections.

After all, they can see clearly the current situation.

Whether it's Yu Jin or the cavalry who were defeated from Xuzhou City, their position in Cao Ying has reached a very dangerous level.

Ordinary soldiers are okay, but they are these generals.

If you don't want to make some contributions, not to mention taking back Xuzhou, at least you have to win a battle.

Otherwise, when the news gets back to Cao Cao, none of their generals will be left, and it is estimated that there will be no good fruit to eat.

"General, there is smoke and dust rolling up a hundred miles north of the city, and it seems that a large group of people is rushing towards us!"

While Yu Jin and the others held their breaths and waited intently, a group of scouts who had been thrown out by Yu Jin reported back, shocking Yu Jin and the others!
The ruse worked!
"Prepare for an ambush. This place is the place where Yuan Tan's attack on Xiapi must pass. When they are halfway through the march, we will come out and defeat them in one fell swoop!"

Yu Jin raised a palm and whispered an order.

For a moment, the entire dense forest was in commotion.

However, the soldiers under Yu Jin's command can be called elite after all, even the [-] infantry brought out from Xiapi City are not bad in quality.

They quickly found their respective positions and began to wait with bated breath.

And the dense forest where the birds were flying around quickly quieted down.

"I'm coming!'

About an hour later, the commotion of the troops passing by in the distance could already be heard, cheering up Yu Jin and the others again.

"Pay attention to concealment and watch the timing. There won't be too many people coming from the other party. After all, they still have to guard the descending army!"

Yu Jin gave an order in a low voice, and tightened his grip on the big knife in his hand!

That's right, Xuzhou's surrender of troops is Yu Jin's biggest support!

In his opinion, with so many surrendered soldiers in Xuzhou, even if Yuan Tan is a god, it would be impossible to gather these surrendered soldiers without half a year or a year of effort.

After all, these Xuzhou defenders are not local braves, but the regular army of Cao Ying.

After following Cao Cao for so long, no matter how low his loyalty is, it would not be so easy to change his banner.

You know, from the Battle of Xuzhou to the present, it has been less than a month.

Even if Yuan Tan is a god, it is impossible for him to reorganize nearly [-] surrendered troops into a battle-ready army in such a short period of time.

This is not a strategy game. The morale of soldiers can increase as long as they keep giving out rewards.

Those are living people one by one!
And living people, no matter how stupid they are, have their own will, can think independently, and have different opinions on one thing.

The so-called difficult to adjust, nothing more than this.

It is even more difficult for Jiang Bing, a spiritually sensitive creature, to stabilize their emotions.

If he was really careless and directly sent the surrendered soldiers to the battlefield, as long as he, Yuan Tan, dared to do so, he would be sending Yu Jin's head!
At that time, Yu Jin would directly ride his horse and raise his whip and shouted, saying that as long as he counterattacks Yuan Tan now, the previous crimes will not be punished, and he can even show their merits.

Believe it or not, there will be a lot of Xuzhou soldiers defecting on the spot?

Therefore, Yuan Tan's surprise attack on Xiapi this time will definitely not bring many soldiers and horses, and 5000 people are already enough!

however……

As the sound of the army crossing the border got closer and clearer.

The original confident look on Yu Jin's face faded little by little.

In addition, the expressions of the cavalry behind him changed from initial excitement to doubt and anxiety, and finally... turned into shock!

There is no other reason.

On the plain outside the dense forest, three thousand young soldiers under Yuan Tan's command galloped past with the banner of Yuan Zi on their shoulders.

A whole [-] infantry brigade, full of energy, high morale, and without the sluggish posture that half a surrendered soldier should have.

With neat steps, the sound of rumbling footsteps was like thunder, slowly advancing from the plain.

The front of his soldiers is approaching Xiapi City!

"This... this fucking..."

After a long silence, Yu Jin looked at the front and back of the Yuan Tan Department with nearly [-] soldiers and horses. After a long time, he finally couldn't hold back the shock in his heart, and cursed:
"Where did this guy get so many soldiers and horses?!"
